A letter from the Provincial Executive on the question of forming a dressmaking class was discussed, but as there were not sufficient entries nothing could be done in the matter at the time. It was hoped to form a class in the near future. The Roll Call was “A Cure for the Blues,” the cures being marvellous and showing great variety. _ Miss Clarke gave an instructive demonstration on “tatting” for which a hearty vote of thanks was accorded her.
