A unique and interesting entertain- ment and social was held in Senior's Hall under the auspices of „the Wo- man's Institute on Friday evening. The ball was comfortably filled and the program was well received. No- ticable features of the entertainment were the fishing pond and a guessing competition. The former consisted of a supposed pond hidden by a scrren from which the angler, who paid five cents for the privilege of fishing, would draw from the pond some useful or ornamental article. This was well patronized and furnished considerable amusement. The soap and fend con- test comprised a number of disguised wrappers, labels or advertisements of Soaps and Foods. Each had the priv- ilege of guessing to which of the re- spective articles the different wrappers labels and advertisements belonged. The prize in the soap competition fell to Master Fred Shaddock, while that of the Food was awarded to hiss Jan- nette Brown. A much appreciated luncheon was served, inciuding Wood's Stuyverant Coffee, donated by Mr. J. A. Stewart. The prizes awarded were donated by Mr. Willis Powell, who al- so furnished Gramophone selections. The ladies are to be congratulated on the success of the affair. Forbidden Marriages.

The department's answer in every case is the sante, and it is to the effect that tinder the statutes of Ontario, it plait cannot lawfully marry his brother's widow or brother's divorced wife. Most of the inquirers- ask the question apparently .in behalf of parties who want to marry brother's widows, Itis said that several such marriages `have *toil,- taken place in the, ,l't-ovince.•' Additional Locals en page 1. rs ask 111"61"Ormar 71ii"lirsirrNir NE 'Uri 1 ONTARIO AiLlEg...ESExtc ark As re.211.&_2& Harveys' Star Flour Is the ideal Family Flour—good for Bread or Biscuits.
