Women's Institute
By the kind invitation of Mrs Fraser, the members of the Buntingford Women's Institute greatly enjoyed having their monthly meeting in the delightful grounds of the Red House. Tea, provided by Mrs Fraser, was served from the picturesque old barn.
In the absence of the President (Mrs H.C. Marshall), who is laid up with a cold, Mrs H.H. Williams conducted the business part of the meeting.
A very interesting talk on Chinese Customs was given by Miss Woods, who was gorgeously arrayed in a Chinese costume belonging to Mrs Fraser.
An exhibition of ancient and modern needlework brought by members was most successful. Mrs Camp's examples of dresses created considerable amusement. Some samples were also shown with wonderful stitches. The draw for a cushion resulted in the hostess gaining the prize, a great satisfaction to all her guests.
All agreed that it was one of the pleasantest of meetings, and the glories of the garden were much appreciated.
