Wantod—A Croquet Lawn. -"Anythiiii; that's Rood enough for j-ou is good enough tor us," is the motto of the ladies of Seatoun just at prcsont.

The laud is there—in. the rough—but the company which promoted the grounds havo'exhausted their funds in laying down what promises to bp an excellent bowling green, and the feminine portion of the population have been thrown upon their oiyn resources for tho collecting of money sufficient to make a proper croquet"lawn. "Women's wit will find a way" has been said, and it is true in this instance. Whilst the city , folk are revcllihg in a Teserve-beautifying carnival at Easter, the Seatoun ladies are following suit vby holding a little carnival of their pwia on Easter Monday, tho proceeds of which are to bo devoted to tho croquet' lawn fund. Not content with this they are to hold a series of entertainments during the winter for the same purpose. •
