No doubt as a result of the recent bad weather, the ladies realise that we have all more or less had very little opportunity to attend to the gardens at this time of the year as is usual, so Wednesday has been set aside as gardening day. The* menfolk may wonder when they are likely to get a meal during this busy bazaar, but this very important matter hasi not been overlooked, and Thursday stall is to be baking day. There should be no need to say that Friday is shopping day, but it may he of interest to realise what a wondereful range of bargains in frocks, children's clothes and novelties are to be secured from this stall.
