AST FALL THE committee in charge of Lthe Adelaide Hunter Homestead, Mrs. John Charlton, Mrs. Harry Nixon and rs. Ewart Hunt, invited the Stoney Creek nstitute to visit the Homestead. Thirtyeight toney Creek women accepted the invitation and the committee were so delighted with the esponse that they set to work to make the . isit a real party. Mrs. Nixon and Mrs. Hunt showed the visi- tors around the rooms downstairs and Mrs, Charlton took charge of the upstairs rooms. Mrs. Charlton also read the history of the restoration of the homestead. The Stoney Creek Institute then presented a contribution to the further furnishing of the house. Mrs. Lockman, hostess at the Homestead made tea and coffee and the committee served fancy sandwiches, relishes and little cakes. Everyone reports a very happy, social gathering. Another event on the Homestead‘s calendar for next June comes through a request from the local Historical Sooiety. At their conven- tion they will entertain the Museum Section of the Ontario Historical Society, a party of about 150, and they would like to have tea at the Homestead. Mrs. Charlton reports that Miss Bostick, granddaughter of Mrs. Hoodless has just given the Homestead a set of pink dishes that had been used in the home when Adelaide Hunter lived there.
