preparing pretty baskets is now alb
sorbing the energies of the women and
girls of the parish; for although there
will be no sale there is keen rivalry
among those anxious to have the best
appearing basket at the social. The
leap-year traditions will be observed,
and each woman bringing basket
will choose the one who is to share
with her it's contents. The committee
will supply hot coffee and will have a
sufficient number of walters ready to
serve the largest crowd promptly. All
the indications point to the largest
gathering of the season.
