for their suppers. thus adding 8 little to
the club revenues. Supper was served
at long table in the pavilion. After
supper the guests of honor worked va
liantly picking up driftwood and a little
later there was rousing bonfire on the
beach and most enjoyable close to hap
Ply affair. Those present were DR.. and

The August meeting Of the Belfast Wo-
mems Club will be held on Wednesday
of next week instead of the first Monday
as usual. 1t is expected that Mrs. Amos

a very important business deal is to be
discussed. For this reason, also, 1t is
earnestly hoped that every member will
be present. The matter which will be
under consideration at this meeting will
materially affect the future growth of
the club and is one Of the most impor-
tant in its history.
