began, as furnished by . Miss

on the lawn the couples were
taking their places and very soon
the walk was on. After a ten min
utes walk, the drum beat came
just asithe flag was being passed
from one couple to another. As
both had hold of the flag, . the
cake was awarded to two
couples, viz: Miss Blanche Mc
Allister and Mr. D D Barrier,
and Mrs. L J Foil and Dr. P A
Barrier. It was then cut and
passed to all the participants in
the walk. Games were intro
duced for the rest of the evening

persed" to meet again probably
next Saturday evening.
