keepsakes for years. They would
supply the proper background or
atmosphere for the cottage and the
committee would appreciate the
loan of them. They will be prop
erly cared for and labeled with the
owners name and address. Mr..
Flaherty or Mrs. Phelan or, any
member of the committee would be
glad to hear from all in position
to cooperate in making the Irish
cottage an ideal one.
