Ladies Aids were to hold it joint

to arrive and the crowd numbered
105! The committees from tho
three societies rump with delicious
articles of food which were deposit
ed on a- table sandwiches, lovely
homo mnde cakes, raspberries and
cream et cetera, ot cetera. Tho
committee was busy preparing the
trays and Aliss Genevu Sayro was
in the midst of un Inspiring ad

a crash and a chorus of "oil's' ami

large aluminum kettle of pure

cleaned and served: silverware was
scattered through the grass and a

ered up in a (uiantity ot pieces. The
Kinull boy would doubtless have
described the sight as "same mess."
However Ladies Aiders are quick
to adjust, themselves to any situa

who was present came ojiickly to
give first aid and with the ussis-

was appreciated and tho table
stood firm, though it must have
groaned even under the load of
