ANSDOWNE


A much anticipated event in Lans-
downs was the fcte which was given by
the Twentieth Century Club at the
clubhouse on Thursday and Friday.
October and 2, in the afternoons and
in the evenings.
The club recently found it necessary
TO buy the adjoining lot in order that
no building could be put up there. which
might mar the attractivcness of the
clubhouse. Then, too, now that they
are in possession of this extra ground
they are in a position to enlarge their
clubhouse should the needs Of the com
munity require this. Since substau,
/ tial payment on the lot must be made
this fall the women thought of the
Happy idea of giving this fctc, and II
may be truly said that every member
of the club has worked in some measure
for its success. Each one was gencr-
Gus with donations, and those in charge
of the different booths and their help
ers were extremely loyal and energetic

was actively interested in making the
fete success. and so were Mrs.

! found of making an affair of that sort
attractive. 1t used to be that there

"A greater variety of things and they
arc moro attractivey presented. At
Mrs. Samuel lrwin's utility table there
were not only the, usual kitchen
aprons. but there were many things
there that were gayly pretty as wep
as useful, such as several stunning
trays, one of which was painted by
Mrs. Frank II. Mcguire: candlesticks
and good looking shirtwaist or two
! Then there was the lingerie shop, in
charge of Mrs, Robert Click All sorts
Of dainty things We're to be found there
as each woman who donated something
must have determined to make hers as
pretty as possible.
At Mrs. Mary Garretson Cook :
book table there were delightfully."- long
rows of books to be looked over by
those who came to buy. And perhaps
ono of the most artisticaIly arrayed
booths at the fete was the paper table
in charge of Mrs. Abram pennock.
/ There one found the pictured paper
bags, that have become so popular
! dolls hats that would fascinate the
most fastidious of wee girls. gift pack
/ ages and even some Christmas cards
for the forcsighted person. ...

! of the past members table. and in the
little clubroom on the other side of the
