served and they all troop off to 5
o'clock service. A prominent feature

During the past week the afternoon
drives have all had the Minikahda
club for All objective and the women

fire and slipped their tea and enjoyed
their hot buttered toast quite in. an
English fashion. There has been no
mite box there and as the stream Of
gossip flowed uninterruptedly one
could hear astonishing things Of ones
friends.
Winter sports have been rather a
failure at the club and the members
are congratulating themselves :: that
they ala not Spend several hundred
planned earlier in the season. There
has been no coasting, no skating, no
ice boating. in fact nothing but toast
tea and gossip over the fire. ~
