        Little Miss Muriel Riden, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Riden, Park-road, Heavitree, has been the recipient of an interesting presentation at No. 3 Hospital, Exeter. She is a talented pupil of Miss Couldridge, and has recently given exhibitions of dancing and songs before the patients, with whom she so ingratiated herself that they clubbed together and bought her, as tokens of their good wishes, a handsome silver-mounted hand mirror, and also a silver-mounted brush and comb. The young lady was then invited to the hospital, and the gifts were handed over to her by one of the patients.
