will grow as I think they are two or three years old. I also raked some more up under the old willow outside the fence. I finsihed inside yesterday. To-night I went down to a party of the Every-ready Club girls at Bessie Patersomn's. Weplayed Five Hindred which I had never played before and which i didn;t know any thing about so consequently didn't win one game. Colin Ryerse and I cut for booby prize and I got ina little tin watch and chain which oroved a great source of amusement for the baby. Bill Davis & Johnnie I think got firts prizes. We askso had a hat trimming contest. Each boy had ot trim a hat I did one for Hazel Silverhtorne by just tying a coupl eof ribbons around it. I was quite tickled with the job I made. Sam Schram got first orize at that and George Henderson the booby. Marj. was there and said her sore throat wasd "all better". We all jad a nice time and got saway about half past one. It was pouring rain again to-night so I wet down to Aunty's and stayed. They had half expcted me as the bed was all ready to crawl into. Iyt has been quite hot to-day and the fields are beginning to look quite green.
