GARDEN FETE HELD

FUNDS FOR MISSION In spite oC the showers of Saturday afternoon, a large number of people attended the garden fete held at “Puriri Puke,” Allandale Road, Mount Albert, the home of Mrs. J. W. Tattersfleld. The stalls had to be moved inside out of the rain, but a brisk trade was carried on throughout tiie afternoon, and a substantial sum raised toward the funds of the Mission to Seamen.
