Mothers' Union

A large number of members of the Buntingford branch of the Mothers' Union assembled at St Peter's on Thursday afternoon of last week to hear an address on the work of the Ladies' Home Mission.

Mrs Alex Dixon presided, being supported by Mrs Howard.

Mrs Mould, who gave a very interesting address, referred to the work the Mission was doing at Spitalfields, and showed some very interesting photographs depicting the home life of some of the poorer people.

Part of the Mothers' Union service was used, and hymns taken from Mothers' Union sheet.

At the close a very hearty vote of thanks was accorded Mrs Mould, and a collection for the Mission Funds amounted to £1 10s.

Dance

A jolly evening was spent at the Benson Hall on the 24th June (Tuesday last), when a dance (arranged by Mrs Philpott) in aid of the Buntingford Catholic Cemetery Funds was attended by over 100 persons.

The Standon orchestra were in attendance, and their programme of dances was much enjoyed by all.

There were some diversions in the way of games and competitions (organised by Mr Brock-Daniels) and these caused much amusement. An obstacle race was won by Mr Leslie Smith, and the balloon dance prize went to Miss Q. Nash, Miss M. Cornwell, and Miss J. Fenner.

Mr T. Wornham kindly officiated as M.C.
