The smooth gre?a lawns were laid out for badminton, and clock golf, and visitors were kept busy trying their skill at, the varions games. A most delicious tea served on the spacious verandah proved by no means the least popular item of the afternoon. Mrs Mervyn Gorringc, on behalf of the W.D.F.U., extended to Mrs Wright the gratitude of the committee -for placing her home at their disposal for this function, which, whilst proving so very enjoyable, would 'be such a welcome financial help to the branch.

Davies, 'was won by Mrs Gorringe, who also proved to be the winner of the croquet.
