Women's Institute

The June monthly meeting, held in the school on the 9th, was to have been, by kind invitation of Mrs E. Pigg, a Garden Meeting, but owing to the unsettled weather it was thought best to hold indoors; nevertheless a very nice tea was given by this lady and thoroughly appreciated by everyone present.

The W.I. Business having been gone through, Mrs R. Turney and Mrs J. Hurry gave very interesting demonstrations on "Rug-making." Hearty thanks were accorded these ladies for their showing and goodwill in answering the many questions put to them.

A competition "Guessing Leaves," in the hands of the Secretary, caused some fun. Mrs C. Whitby guessing 11 out of 12 correctly, Miss N. Carter 10.

Whist was indulged in, Mrs J. Hurry gaining highest, Mrs T. Pigg lowest. For both whist and competition, prizes were given by Miss N. Pigg.

For such a splendid tea and happy time, thanks were proposed by Mrs Coxall to Mrs and the Misses Pigg, and heartily carried.

Mrs Scarborough Taylor and Mrs Armstrong rendered some delightful songs.

The meeting closed with God Save the King.

Garden Meeting at Longmead

The monthly meeting of the Buntingford Women's Institute took the form of an "At Home" at Londmead on Wednesday afternoon.

Fortunately fine weather prevailed, and there was a large number present. Before tea, which was provided by the President (Mrs H.C. Marshall) and the Vice-Presidents (Mrs H.H. Williams and Mrs Fell), the members enjoyed a walk round the grounds.

There was a sale stall in charge of Mrs Coleman and Mrs May and a nail-driving competition. The flower competition was won by Mrs C. Bolton, of Wyddiall, who brought a beautiful bouquet. The caning competition was won by Mrs J. Aylott, the same member winning the tray competition.

The President read the financial statement in connection with the Whit-Monday Fete, the particulars of which are given in another column. The statement was considered most satisfactory, and the President said that thanks were due to all those who had helped to make the event such a complete success.

The dramatic section of the Institute presented a scene from Shakespeare's "As you like it." This was performed at the W.I. dramatic competitions at Hertford on Saturday last, when the Buntingford Institute gained fifth place.

Those taking part were as follows:

Mrs Scarborough Taylor - Amiens

Mrs J. Aylott - Sytrius

Mrs S. Smith - Covin.

Miss Ward - Touchstone

Miss Aylott - Roslyn

Miss K. Camp - Celia
