The Wanganui J's had the Sweets and Flower Stall. Mrs R. Smith (president) was in charge, assisted by Misses Spurdle, Jarvis, Colenran, Smith, Keyuolds, and Chishofm. These attendants wore a touch of yellow, which gave good effect. This stall also had a Fancy Bag Competition, and did splendid business.

Miss A. White had a laundry basket, filled with all laundry necessaries, from a. washboard to a modest blue bag. Miss Nevrsome acted a.s a "lady holder,1' being dressed all over with "kettle holders." This stall had a splendid assortment of plain and fancy needlework.
