Those reading the serial story in the ADVOCATE will observe that chapter eight thereof does not appear in this issue owing to the fact that one parcel of our ready -prints has not arrived here, being delayed in the freights. We will, however, give the missing link in probably our next issue. Many persons who have had stray animals come on their pramises have been under the impression that they wait claim costs from the time the animals came to their place, whether they advertised them or not. This is wrong. They can claim expenses only frozn the time they are advertised' Some very swell new fedora hats at Stewart's, The new low crown. 1 Give a man a ten -cent cigar and he Will love you six hours; offer him ten cents to buy it for himself and he will throw it in your face.

The phrase originated from a problem for some time going the rounds of the American press and agitating the minds of that people. That our readers may take a hand in working out the solution we herewith give the question:—"Mary is twenty-four years old. Mary is twice as old as Ann was when Mary was as old as Ann is now. How old is Ann ? Or in condensed form, Ann was twelve years old when Mary was as old as Ann is now." Huron Poultry Show. The annual show of Huron Poultry and Pet Stock Association took place in Goderich on February 1-4. The conditions prevailing were not favor- able, the extra cold spell and the blockade of roads and railroads being much against the exhibition, as the ledge did not reach Goderich until ate, and many entries from outside points did not reach town at all. The show, however, was a good one, over 260 entries being in the cages. The leading bird in numbers was the barr- ed Plymouth Rocks, and their quality the best; and other prominent breeds were well represented by birds of the best record. One canary only was shown, a handsome pair of white tur- keys, three pairs of geese, fonr rabbits, eight cages of pigeons, and 40 of ba.n- tains were included in the entries. The hall was nicely arranged and the cages clear, so viewing the birds was a pleasing occupation. Pleasant "At Home." A pleasant and enjoyable "At Home' was given to the members and congregation of the Main Street Meth- odist church, in the lecture room, .on Friday, .Feb. 5th, by the pastor, Rev, Wm. Godwin, and Mrs. Godwin, in celebration of the twenty-fifth anni- versary of their marriage. A goodly nnunber of the adherents of the church as well as a good representation from Sexsmith appointment were present. to assist the worthy couple in snaking merry and to enjoy the evening's en- tertainment. The room was beauti- fully decorated with bunting and upon the wall hung two large pictures re- spectively those of Mr. and Mrs. God- win. An enjoyable programme was rendered consisting of addresses, reci- tationss, etc. Short addresses were de- livered by Rev, Dr. Hannon, the chair- man for the evening, Rev. Martin, and Rev. Baker, of Elf.rnville. Recitations were given by Miss Mildred Godwin, Miss Elsie .McCallum, Master Godwin and J. A. Gregory, A solo by Miss Amy Johns was appreciated. An in- teresting feature was the presentation by Mr. FL E. Huston on behalf of the congregation, of an address of congrat- ulation and good wishes, and some- thing more substantial in,the shape of a rug and whip from Sexsrnith congre- gation arida silver tea service from the Main Street people. On the conclusion. of the programme, a dainty tea was served by a few of the ladies and gen- tlemen of the congregation, after which all departed much pleased with the en- tertainment.

By all means drop the ques- tion. If your husband does not get up these cold mornings and make fires, if he growls about earring in water and minting the cows, or shows himself "snaggy" with respect to other little chores, sneh as minding the baby, bring the cyusestiou drawer into requisi- tion and see that he is properly trained, While we think of it we might say men sometime caul so much and attend so many lodge greetings that they cannot get acquainted with their own fatuities. This is a terrible evil and should be removed.- The question drawer should grapple with it. We would suggest that the Women's In- stitute meetings be held at night so that hubby will have to stay home some evenings at least. Hockey Concert. The Concert given under the auspic- es of the hockey clot) in the Opeia House on Monday evening was a suc- cess in point of excellence, although not so largely attended as the club had desired. The weatlfer-was exceeding- ly cold and the roads not good so that the attendance was confined mainly to the townspeople. Those who were present, in spite of the chilliness of the room owing to the impossibility, of getting proper:' fuel, were delighted with Mr. J. H. Cameron, of Toronto, who was the star attraction and was heard to advantage in a generous list of songs, recitations and character im- personations. He is.masterof the art of entertaining. The local talent con- sisting. of Misses Jeanette and Anna Martin, Miss Amey Johns, Miss Mild- red Godwin and Mr. Mac Vincent were well received and in their several lines added materially to the entertaimuent of the evening. Considering, the cold- ness of the room it is a matter of sur- prise that those who took part were able to do so well. The proceeds amounted to between $40 and $45, Council Proceedings.

While the spring styles are still somewhat uncertain there are some permanent features. and attractive models in lace and tulle are shown for dressy wear, and for the first spring days or for those who live in a south- ern clime there are smart walking or street hats of straw braids. These straw models are almost severe in their simplicity and are shown in a variety. of shapes. The turban, in rather small close -fitting form, is especially approved, while the tricorne is quite as fashionable in the dress hat as it is for ordinary street wear, and it lends itself effectively to a combination of materials. There is a touch of gold in nearly all of the newest models. Gold lace, braid, tassels and.cocades all en- ter into the fashioning of stylish head- gear, and eyen hat pins assume the form of military buttons. The black picture hat trimmed with a white lyre feather is one of the essential items of a fashionable . wardrobe, and while it was worn during the winter in black velvet or silk plush, it has come forth again in tulle and lace. Fruit trim- mings are in high vogue, and flower`. toques and turbans are especially at- tractive at this season. The new toques are rnuoh smaller than those that were worn (luring the past season. They are quite oval hi shape, forming almost 0 point in front.—From the Delineator for March.
