She said that she licqied it would remind them of their jiromiso to be loyal to God and the-King.

Tho girls enjoyed a silk ml id afternoon tea. and ices, and later in the afternoon both eonqianies joined hands in a ring to | ’|ni.l bon-bons. Afterwards they sang “For She’s a Jolly Good Fellow,” and with three ch'cers for Mrs Macßae and good-bye's said, a wonderful afternoon was brought to a close.
