A CHARITY FUNCTION.
A HOME-MADE TEA. Home-made cakes and jam and goodies always meet with universal approval, and a charity function, at which all the articles are home-made, will find ready support. " Yes, Avis, I want to have something a little off the beaten track ! I don't mind turning the house upside down, and I don't mind the expense of a really luxurious tea. But if I'm to go shilling-hunt-ing (oi rather, half-a-crown hunting) for charity I should like to do something fresh!" And Belinda shakes her pretty head and awaits advice. - " What about a ' home-made ' tea ?' " What's that? Sounds rather nice!" " Well, everyone must bring something home-made. It may be a pot of jam, or a lampshade, or a shawl, or a vanity-bag or a jam-roll! And the things are sold at the tea. You see, the range of gifts is wide, isn't it ? And folks do love home-made things; they're different from bought stuff." And Avis sees how to amass wealth for Belinda's pet charity. "The very thing! Grannie will knit bed-socks; Ida will bring a pen-and-ink sketch; Polly will set to, right away, to make marmalade! I can see my moneybags full!" Try it! There is a fascination in " homey " goods !
