The secretary, who was ill, asked a young neighbourhood girl to take her place. "Write down everything that happens, so that I can write a full report,' she instructed Pearl. Pearl was not schooled in the art of taking minutes. However, she was a fairly rapid writer, and she managed to copy -most of the proceedings. The .secretary didn't check h er notes until she read them aloud at the next meeting. They caused some excitement. "The Ladies' Aid met at the home of MiS. Ducker. There were seven present when it started; but more came. Mrs. Burrell doesn't know why they can't come in time. She•told them so. Mrs. Burrell says, "Let's open the meeting by singing, "How Firm a Foundation" but Mrs.Ducker says, Oh, don't take that, it's in sharps; take "Nearer, Still Nearer" - it's in flats, and Maudie can handle the flats better. Then they sang, and Mrs. Burrell and Mrs. Ducker prayer. Mrs. Ducker prayed longest, but Mrs. Burrell prayed loudest, and for most things. Mrs. Bates read the last report, and they said it was better than usual, she'd only left nut one or two things. Then they collected the money. N early everyone paid, only Mrs. Burrell couldn't find hers, she was sure she had it in her glove when she came in, and she couldn't see how it ever fell out. Mrs. Ducker will get it when shi: sweeps if it's in the house at all. Total receipts of evening $2.20.. Then Mrs. Burrell asked what about the new stairs carpet for the parsonage. Mrs. Forrest said linoleum is better than carpet. Mrs. Buttell said linoleum would do alright if they couldn't afford carpet, and she. saw in the Free Press that there was going to be a linoleum sale in Winnipeg on Saturday. Mrs. Ducker does not like sales. Mr.' Ducker got a horse at a sale one time, and the very first time they hitched it up it took to blind staggers. Mrs. Forrest thinks there would be no danger of the lilnoleum haven' , it though. Mrs. Burrell said she wished they'd talk sense. Mrs. Snider said she would move that Mrs. Burrell gets whatever she wants, for the stairs and the Ladies' Aid will pay for it. Carried. Mrs. Burrell said what about the knives and forks committee. Mrs. Bates hasn't been able to go out since she fell downstairs. There's n black patch on her knee yet. Mrs. Bates blackens easy. Mrs. Snider has had her hands full, goodness knows, since Aunt Jessie has been laid up with arthritis. Aunt Jessie is pretty hard to wait on, and doesn't hike the smell of the ointment the doctor gave her, it's altOgether different from what she got when she was down in the States. Mrs. Burrell said she would get the knives and forks herself if anybody would make a motion. Two made it, and three seconded it. Carried. Mrs. Burrell said, How are the things getting on fOr the bazaar?'Mrs. Ducker had a box of things sent from Mrs. Norman in Winnipeg. Mrs. Snider thinks Mrs. Norman must have been at a sale. Y ou can get things so cheap there sometimes. (Couldn't get all they said here, everybody talked at once about sales.) Mrs. Burrell rsaid : 'Where'll we hold it , anyway, if we do get enough stuff? Mri. Smith 'moved that sale be held in church basement, though if the, stuff didn't come in faster, a piano box would do. Mrs. Allan said, hurry up, do,- please. She left the baby with Jim, and he's no good at all if she begins to fuss. Mrs Snider seconded the motion. Mrs. Burrell said, where will we meet next time? Mrs. Graham said, come to my house. Mrs. Forrest said it was too far. Mrs. Graham said the walk would do her good, she had , just been reading in the-"Fireside Visitor" that that's what's wrong with lots of people, they don't walk enough. Mrs. Forrest is glad to know this, for she has often wondered what was wrong with lots of people. Decided to meet' at `Mrs. Burrell's. R:J.P. Watson, Sec. Just for this time.
