Mrs. Walter Denegre at West Manchester will be the

the dance.

a sale and demonstration of the Handicraft Shop for the 
Blind. Miss Cummings, who is now in charge of the 
Manchester shop, supervised the Newport sale, assisted 
by two young women from the Cambridge shop. The 
sale proved very successful despite the adverse weather 
conditions, otherwise it would have been given on the 
lawn of the Mason estate, as last season, instead of in- 
doors.
