Women's Institute

Owing to the unsettled weather, the Women's Institute held their monthly meeting in the Assembly Rooms on the 8th inst., where Mrs H.C. Marshall presided. A large number of members were present.

Miss Collingwood, V.C.O., gave a most delightful talk on the "Aims and Ideals of the Women's Institute."

A bountiful tea was provided by the Committee, after which several members took part in the discussion on home-made wines, of which there were about 20 samples exhibited by various members.

The singing of folk songs then concluded the programme.

Xmas Presents and Fare

As usual, the sending of Christmas presents and greetings has disorganised the postal service, and throughout this week the Buntingford postmen have been laden with letters and parcels.

As for the shops, many seem to be doing the best trade of the whole year.

Messrs. Moss's have a wonderful show of seasonable fare from Empire fruits to prie hams and bacon. They also have many bargains in their china department, which always make useful Christmas presents, in addition to a large and varied assortment of crackers.

For those who have not ordered their Christmas Dinner, Mr H.W. Piggott, with his well-stocked shop, is able to supply some excellent quality turkeys, ducks and fowls, besides some dairy-fed pork, and some excellent beef and mutton, all at low prices.

Mr C.H. Tottman, of High Street, has all the fruits, &c, which are associated with the great Christmas Festival. His stock also includes holly and mistletoe and artistic boxes of chocolates, the latter being most suitable for Xmas gifts.

Mr F. White has many suggestions for Xmas gifts to wireless enthusiasts, and his stock extends from a complete installation for under £1 to a beautiful 3-valve cabinet, which is worthy of a place in any home.

"Give him cigarettes or tobacco" is a new slogan this Christmas, and from the variety which Mr H. Fry has in stock it is easy to obtain an acceptable gift at a low price.

What a useful present coal would make for Xmas, in order to "keep the home fires burning." Go to Mr E.J. Sparkes should you think of giving fuel.

Mr E.B. Haddock has a wide assortment of pretty and useful gifts to suit all tasts and pockets.

Mr E. Browne has a stock of articles suitable for presents; all at bargain prices.

Dark evenings at Christmas time, Mr Borsberry - lamps of all kinds.
