The ladies arranged Hie stalls as follows: —General, produce, (lowers. Afternoon lea was provided, (be tables being arranged in the shelter oi the manv (fees. Tim children wore not forgotten, there being a plentiful .supply oi' ice cream (provided by Mrs Desmond), and soft drinks, while much amusement was created in the attempts to pin the tail on the donkey. In the course of 1 lit* afternoon the opportunity was taken o! saying good-live and makingxa prescnlalion to Mrs ,leaks, for many years a member of All Sands’ Guild. Ihe Vicar, in asking Mrs Barber senior io make (he presentation —a cake basket and a pair 01. -silver photograph I rames —spoke ol (lie long connection id* (lie -leaks family with (ho church life.
