RELAY TEAS. -The Ladies of
town and country are being invited to
Relay Teas, for patriotic purposes.
They intend giving five relays. The
third relay will be completed Wednes-

for some ladies to get those they are
acquainted with to make up the num-
ber, (and as some dd not care to en-
tertain) any lady may accept as many
invitations: as she wishes, but will not
be required to give more than one tea,
tteless she wishes to do so. If you
cannot get the required number of
tadnes invite two or three ladies and
two or three gentlemen; or if you
wish you may invite a number of gen-
tlemen and entertain them for your
father, husband, or brother. The teas
wieel continue for the month of Mar-
ch •ending on the 31st of March. So
i nvete your neighbors and friends and
spend a social afternoon, or evening,
each paying 10 c. The proceeds will
be divided evenly among the three
societies for ,patriotic supplies namely
"Women's Institute," "Patriotic Lea-
gue."
eague " "Soldiers' Aid.'
