The Ladies' Side of the Cranberry Meet.

EDITOR REPORTER:-I suppose we
shall see in this weeks issue of your
paper the usual notice of the business
meeting of the S. G.. G.. A., including
everything of Importance n business
way that is new or of special interest
to the public But the part of the
work that has been delegated to the
ladies SO many years, although very
important, seldom receives more than
a passing notice. They have done
very much to make these summer
conventions at J. A. GayDOr'S marsh
such an attraction that hundreds ,Of
people now gather there every year
and it has become pleasant social
function as well as business meeting
as an outsider | have noted the faith
fitness, patience and harmony that
has characterized this work of the
ladies and | think they deserve more
than the usual compliment which is
simply ''the ladies served refresh
ments," because it means something
to serve refreshments in an up-to-date
style where two or three hundred
people are present and are SO delight
fully entertained, they can easily
imagine themselves attending a ban
quet in large city.
This year the decorations were
unusually attractive. The long room
of the first floor of j. A. Gaynor's
Store-hOUse was utilized as a dinner
hall The walls were decorated with
pine boughS by Mr. Gaynor and the
floral display on the tables arranged
by Miss Caroline Fitch we're lovely
A large bunch of pond lilies contri-
buted by a. Searles were fine, other
contributions Of panies, gladiOlus,
naSturtiumS, balsamS, sweet peas and
many other beautiful flowers produced
an artistic and pleasing effect, but the
dinner surpassed every other attrac-
tionS. Chicken pie and nearly every
luxury this part of the country affords
could be had fer the asking, including
ice cream, and also nuts for the small
boys to crack, as some of them were
not quite old enough to listen
attentively to the speeches on cram
berry culture their fathers were so
interested in later on.
Mr.. and Mrs. James Gaynor with
their usual hospitality and kindness
did their best to make everybody COM
as managing committee with her
system, tact and her thoughtfulneSs
for others was quite equal to the occa-
sion. MeSdameS S. !. WhittleSey
and w H. Fitch as reception COM
mittee made every one welcome and
glad they had been able ~ enjoy the
pleasant day and the elegant feast
prepared for them as we'll as the
pleasure of meeting SO many friends
