OLD TIME COSTUMES WERE DISPLAYED It is a tribute to the fine type of • programme presented by the Gorrie Institute that more than twenty mem- "bers braved the wind and sleet to at­ tend the regluar meeting at the home of Mrs. E. W. Boltpn on Wednesday, March 18th. ' As is customary the singing of the Institute Ode and the ^Lord’s Prayer •repeated in unison opened the meet­ ing after which ^iss Nellie Dinsmore, secretary, read the minutes of the Feb­ ruary meeting. Mrs. Shera, president, occupied the chair and conducted the business ensuing from the minutes. The item of greatest interest was the completion of arrangements concern­ ing the Easter dance. This dance, to be held Monday, March 25th, under the auspices of the Gorrie Women’s Institute, is to raise money Jojr the Gorrie Red Cross Society. Dancing commences at 9 o’clock promptly and a door prize will >be given on a ticket bought between nine and ten o’clock. Sandwiches and coffee will be sold. Notes of appreciation were receiv­ ed from those who had received gifts from the Institute during their recent illness. The topic for the tyfarch meeting followed the line of historical research and was very capa‘bly .conducted iby Mrs. P. Kaine. An interesting part of the programme was a parade of old fashioned costumes. iMrs. Norman Wade wore a lovely blue basque more than fifty years old belonging to her mother, Mrs. Wilfrid King wore a very beautiful old cape which had been worn by Mrs. S. Munroe’s mo­ ther in the reign of Queen Victoria. Many of the others had various in­ teresting stories connected with them, . Mrs. Jennings gave a splendid pa­ per on “The Indian” in which •she gave several illustrations taken from, he close association with the Indians in her. work at Fort Norman. Mrs. Alec Edgar Jr. gave a read­ ing on St. Patrick which was very much enjoyed.. As usual we were brought up to date by Mrs. Law­ rence’s current events which are al­ ways spiced with touches of humor. Irish songs and an Irish contest closed the programme. The hostess and assistant hostesses served a Very deliicous lunch and all enjoyed a soc­ ial hour. Misses Lyla and Janet Sangster and Master Duncan Sangster, Lake- let,' spent the week-end at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Sanderson.

He’s always friendly and smiling and when you go in with your subscription long overdue, and storm and rant about having been cut off the list he pours oil on the troubled waters and irons out the difficulty. He was telling me one day about how he would like to sit down sometime and express his feelings in an issue of the paper .and then just sit back and see what happened. Well, I didn’t want to be a trouble-maker, but I en­ couraged him along until one week he really let go. Perhaps you heard about,if.-1 think every paper in the country had a story about him, but in case you don’t remember I’ll re­ fresh your memory. He started with the church, which was leaking, and he called the congre­ gation for fair because they purchased a new organ while the church was leaking. He went on to the case of Doctor Jim and the people who are driving to show each Saturday night and not paying their doctor bills. He reminded several of them, quoting their names, that the doctor hadn’t shirked a blizzard or a sleet storm to drive out to their farms and save the lives of their children. The ladies’ aid was roundly derided for its hypocrit­ ical .attitdue towards the wife of a man sent to prison, and whom they shun­ ned because of this fact. “You pose as saints when your hearts are blacker with hypocrisy than the man in jail is besmirched because he fell from the straight and narrow.” That one nipped real hard. And that was only the beginning! Abe- didn’t pull his punches and al­ though he lest about twenty subscrip­ tions they came back to him, aS peo­ ple began to forget. But Doctor Jim had several of his bills paid, Abe had several ten-year-old subscriptions paid up and he had the satisfaction of see­ ing the ladies’ aid send that woman several contributions of food and money and chip together to give one of her boys the care of an optician. <1 say, do what you want to.

I was just reading a magazine where a famous movie actress was staying at the home *of a socialite friend. It was a magnificent place with a great marble stairway vand an arched banister that enticed her on to sneak out in the hallway early one morning and’ then go sliding down the banister. It was a magnificent feeling and she coasted down to a'very ab­ rupt stop on the floor. The butler picked her up and relax­ ed his frozen smile long enough to say: “Good for you! I’ve always want­ ed to do that myself.” I can well remember when I was a small boy that a venerable uncle with a long white beard used to call on us. He was a great talker and his beard was continually wagging up and down over the wrinkled hills and dal­ es of his vest. Someone told me in a joking mood that it was a false beard and that it Would pull off, and I want­ ed to see whether it was or not. I tried it one day, grabbing the beard in my hands when he was going at top speed and giving it a solid jerk that made him yelp with pain. I yelp­ ed afterwards from the effect of a slipper On the chiny part of my blue serge pants, but I was Satisfied at least that the beard was real. So many people have urges that they never satisfy, Our preacher told me once that every time he hits his finger .with a hammer he has the strangest Urge to express himself in language worthy of the occasion. Ho wouldn’t intend it to be harmful at all, Honest, what’s your favorite story? Not the grandpa of them all, Not the shooting of that partridge Nor the head there on the wall, Not some tale of your own prowess In your memory there to stay, But a battle won against you By the one that got away! There’s a glow of admiration For the foe who tests your steel, You appreciate raw courage Even though defeat you feel, Deep down under you’re not sorry That you lost the fight today, Why, it's ten-to-one you’ll brag About—the one that got away! —Hunting & Fishing.
