GRAPE FRUIT

Grape fruit is classed among
the squirty edibles. It is, per-
haps, the squirtiest of them all.
Eating grapefruit is not only
an art; It is also a science. 1t is
quite as difficult to get away
with gracefully as spaghetti; in
addition to which you run
chances of having your eye shot
out with acid.
To eat grapefruit properly
you need binders, an umbrella,
a gas mask and a macintosh.
Otherwise you will have to
catch your juice on the fly. And
that of course involves the I'M
pleasant necessity of dining all
over the breakfast table.

I would like to publicly thank all the

loan us all the lumber for the construc-
tion OF the booths; the Burns Under
taking Co. who loaned us the muslin

Masons. who granted US the use of their

punch and the florists who dona ted all
the flowers. Actions like these on the

should receive some sort of notice
Another factor that entered largely
into the success Of the bazase was the
enthusiastic manner in which all the
organize tions entered into the spirit or

tion extended. The efforts OF Mrs Gro
