Christmas Treat
During the Christmas Season, a
,eery happy afternoon was spent at
the home of Mr. and Mrs. Gordon
Cuninghame when Mrs. Cuninghame
was hostess to a young group of
carollers from. St. Paul's Church,
who were keenly interested in "The
Scene In The Manger" so cleverly
designed and made by Mr. and Mrs.
Cuninghanoe.
Carolling and story -telling were
much ,enjoyed, and the antics of a
pair of very beautiful love birds
caused much merriment. Refresh-
ments were served by an open fire
and' the happy group disband'ed', after
wishing the compliments of the sea-
son to the very generous hostess.
