With skilled fingers Mrs Athol Shannon and Miss Ina Perry had arranged winter berries, poppies and red and gold honeysuckle in red lacquered jars upon tho tables laden with delicious fare prepared hy the ladies’ committee. The appealing strains of Larkin’s orchestra were not to bo denied and old folk as well as young were enticed on to a floor polished as smooth as glass.
