HOLY TRINITY FAIR

STALLS do good business.

ANNUAL EFFORT BY THE GUILD.

In a hall cheerfully decorated with trailing paper wistaria, fern fronds and pink camellias, the annual spring fair of the Holy Trinity Anglican Church was opened at Fitzroy, New Plymouth, yesterday. The stalls, richly laden, were well patronised throughout the afternoon. The fair is being conducted by the Holy Trinity women’s guild, of which Mrs. G. W. G. Griffin is president and Mrs. L. F. Binns secretary. At the official opening in the afternoon the Rev. G. W. G. Griffin, vicar of the parish, introduced the “ambassadors of good causes,” Archdeacon and Mrs. F. G. Evans. Mrs. G. Shoemark presented a bouquet to Mrs. Evans. The archdeacon expressed his pleas-

ure at opening the fair, as he had done in so many other years. Work such as that needed to prepare a fair was particularly good in God’s sight, continued for God and that raised everything to a the archdeacon. All the work was done very high level. Whatever was done in faith, hope and charity was done for God.

Archdeacon Evans said it was a great thing to see so many people at the fair and so fine a display. He congratulated the vicar and the workers and hoped that “everything will be sold at a fairly moderate price to suit our pockets and that everybody will go • home satisfied

with what they have bought.” He declared the fair open. The stallholders were: Plain work, Mesdames C. J. Peach, L. N. Fairhall and J. Christie; Eancy, Mesdames APearce, G. Giddy, W. Crawford and L. Simpson; afternoon tea, Mesdames L. Chivers, H. Hall, R. B. Jones, G. Shoemark and Miss D. Rennell; sweets, Misses A. Gentles, N. Griffiths and E. Grover; jumble, Mrs. J. Wall; produce, Mesdames N. M. Ingram, W. Gentles, J. Pickering, W. Taylor, A. Huggard, E. D. Colson and J. Ramson; cakes, Mesdames G. G. Grover, C. Roebuck and Miss E. Pavitt. The fair will be continued to-day.
