LAWN PARTY
AND BAZAAR..
The Girls' Club of Willis Pres-
byterian Church celebrated its
filth birthday lig,, a -cry happy
manner last Saturday afternoon,
when it held a Lawn party gad
bazaar on the beautiful grounds
of Dr. Gunn's residence. The birth
day gifts donated by the 1ad'es of
the church and the girls of ,the
club, were placed en sale in the
different stalls. The French win-
dows of the drawing room and li-
brary opening on the verandah,
made ideal spots ;for the home-
made cooking and (needlework
booths, the former being in charge
of Misses M. Torrenee and A. Watt
and the latter of Mrs. L. Paisley,
Miss Walkar and Mrs. G.:Elliott, In
one of the shadiest nooks on the
lawn was a pretty Candy booth.
where Miss Margaret Chowen and
her host of pretty little helpers
were kept busy all afternoon, and
under another big tree was a table
of cut flowers in charge o6 Miss
Marion Galan and a ntmber of
little assistants, as sweet as the
flowers themselves. Tables dotted
the lawn and from these refresh-
ments were served throughout the
afternoon by members of the club,
The presence of Dr. Stewart, for
so many years • pastor of the church
and his wife added to the after-
noon's enjoyment. The proceeds
of the bazaar, amounting to about
sixty dollars, go to complete the
fund which the club had promised
to raise for the purchase of ,a
tent on Lake Scugog for the Social
and Moral Reform Department'. of
the Church. This tent will be
occupied all summer by different
little waifs from the city slums,
'who will thus be given a, change
for health and moral training they
could get in no gtber way, The
Girls' Club are delighted with the
results of the. bazaar and feel very
grateful to Ar. and Mrs. Gunn for
their kindnless, and to the ladies
of ,the congregation 'whose help
and co-operation brought 1± about
