Golf croquet and skittles were the competitions arranged for the afternoon, and a very happy time was spent. The winners were: Skittles: Mrs. H. L. Thomas. Golf croquet: Miss Cheyno. A delicious aftcruoou tea was provided by the ladies and greatly enjoyed. Two very beautiful bowls of zinnias and alters adorned the table and afterwards gave great pleasure to a member who was on the sick list and to whom the flowers were very thoughtfully scut.
