W.I. AND GARDEN PRODUCE.

A new value out of village gardens is being extracted by some of the women's institutes. They set up a Saturday afternoon stall, to which members contribute out of their superfluity flowers, plants, vegetables and fruit. The post of stallholder is taken in turn. The sight of the comely stall is attractive to passing holiday-makers ; and if the returns are not great they arc enough—to quote one example—to give the institute the hope of accumulating sufficient funds to build a hall, adequately caparisoned for meetings of the institute. The scheme is an admirable example of self-help.
