ACTIVITIES Although the war has necessarily created many difficulties, and has to some extent limited the scope of the work done by the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, the ladies' committee has maintained most of its activities with well-deserved suc- | cess. The funds which are so necessary I might easily have suffered badly as a result of the urgent demands of patriotic work, but the ladies' committee has helped to raise money by means of several very successful bridge parties and jumble sales, one of the latter being held to-day at St. Matthew's Hall.
