Along the Main Line

MBR1oN-Final arrangements for this
garden fcte to be given Saturday, April 15,
at the Merton Country Day School were
completed Wednesday at an enthusiastic
meeting held at the home of Mrs. Edward
Box when n large sum OF money was vol
UNFAIRLY given to pay for the attractive
novelties recently selected in New York
by Mrs. Box and Mrs Frederick w. Rock
well, chairman of the committee. The nov
cities, which included many exquisite gar
den articles, attracted quite little atten-
tion, and many of those present decided TO
purchase then and there, so that orders
had to be given for more articles. Such
was the fate Of rs exquisite hand-palnted
trays which were designed by young
Japanese artist, who found himself
stranded in Paris at the beginning of the
war and came to America in the capacity
of steward on one of our American liners.
Divided by green trelis will be found a
delightful tearoom, where, under the dlrec-
tion of Mrs. Anna 3. Scott, assisted by 20
senior and Junior members of the class
held weekly in Mrs. Scotts model kitchen
In Merton, tea will be served from Rus
Sian samovar at tables prettily decorated
with spring flowers. Among those who
Will assist Mrs. Scott are Mrs, Charles

Basketball.

The tie game between the Orioles
and Nieht.ir-gales was played of,
on the Holy Rosary grounds Tues
day afternoon, and was won by the
latter after an exciting contest all
the way through.
In the beginning the Orioles OBJ
tained the advantage of 4 points,
but this was equaIized by the
Nieht-in. gales before the end of the
first period, and thus at half time
the teams we're a tie at 4.
The Orioles again took a lead Of
2 in the second half, but were soon
Overtaken by the Night.in. gales,
who eventually forged ahead by
making a basket from the field a
few seconds before full TIME was
called They were thus awarded
the honors of the court for their
well earned victory. Gladys Cough
capably refereed the game to the
entire satisfaction of Muriel James
and Agnes Begley, the captains of
the respective teams.

Cyclones, per James Nesbit added
six more points to their credit aud
at this stage of the game a dispute
arose about the legality of Nil
Desperandum substitute.
The referee decided in his favor
but the umpire at first protested
and then voted for him. The
Cyclones however refused to play
and the Nil Desperandums claimed
the game forfeited 1 to 0. The
referee did not view it that way
and and declared the game off, and
to be played during the Christmas
holidays when the spirit of good
will might move both sides to make
concessions in regard to stature In
passing it might besaid that while
the game lasted H B. Mudd, George

but had no support.
The feature of the contest was the
