under his charge. When he returns on Thurs

gress would oblige him to return to Washing

closes September 20, this year 1t will more than
likely remain open until the occupants of the
Park Cottage leave for home.

this afternoon. The long predicted reception
and tea Of Mrs. B. F. Jones came of this after.
