Tea was provided free to all the juvenile members and their parents, and also to the artistes taking part in the entertainment. The children thoroughly enjoyed themselves in the afternoon. At the concert an interesting programme was sustained by the members of the juvenile and adult lodges, and by others connected therewith.
