Armitage; sweet shoe (representing the old woman who lived in a shoe), Mrs. Ted Martin: afternoon tea. Mrs. J. C. Martin, assisted by Mrs. Wright and Miss Holt; guessing competition, Mrs. Hodgson: golf. Miss Anderson: ankle competition, Mrs. Sim Williams. The game of quoits was provided for, and was in charge of Master Keith Sommerville.
