After advertising for two weeks that Bebe Daniels would appear at the Gland Theatre in the picture "Stranded in Paris" the film com- pany cancelled the show and sub' est1tuted another picture at the last moment. The management was sorry, but seemingly has no redress in that matter --except to refuse all further business with a firm that can't keep faith with the public and theatre, Improperly Addressed Mail Matter. The Post Office Department at Ot- tawa, in a recent bulletin, states that nearly 2,000,000 undelivered articles find their way to the various dead letter offices, throughout the country. In every instande reasonable care was not taken in addresing them, while the senders also failed to put their nacos and addresses on the out- side of the letters and parcels. In efforts to locate the sender every let- ter is opened at the dead letter office, but in most cases even this proves futile, People moving away and leaving no addresses are, in some eases, s, the wold-be bo reelptents of numerous journeys', num mai] that after e eventually reaches the dead letter office. Before any letter is sent to the dead lettor office the local staff first exhaust every moans at their rilsnosal to locate the Berson for whom it is intended. ;l'.S POST A Safe Repository for Bonds or Other Valuable 11iJable f rapers SAFETY Deposit Box in • your nearest branch of the Standard Bank is the logical •g place to keep four valuables for security and convenience.

Women's Institute last Friday afternoon when they held their March meeting. The meeting - was opened with the Institute Ode follow- ed by the Lord's Prayer in unison. A little business was put through, then Mrs. R. J. NleLauchlin took the chair. The first number was an instrumental selection by Mrs. N. Cardiff. Mrs. Robt. T. Strachan gave one of her Irish readings which everyone alweFs enjoys. A musical contest entitled an 'Irish Romance" was in charge of Mrs. A. Strachan which gave all a chance to take part, "Erin" was sung by Mrs. Barker, and each en- joyed this musical treat very much. Mrs. T. H. Walker gave a very full account of the life of St. Patrick ia1 an interesting manner. 'Absolution' was recited by Mrs. Fowler in iter usual line style as the last number. Thirty-six ladies were present to lis- ten to this excellent program which closed with the National Anthem. Minor Locals. March is moving on. Cheer urn!

The Listowel Standard last week referred to the death of Miss Ellen Grainger, a former resident of Brus- sels: There died in Listowel on Sun- day, March 11, Miss Ellen Grainger, in her 78th year. The deceased lady had been in failing health for the past several months and despite all that could be done for her she grad- ually grew weaker until the final call came. She was born at Belfast, Ire- land, in 1850. When a child she came with her parents to Canada first settling at Island Creek. near Toronto. • Later the family took up farming near Molesworth, where they remained until 1901, when they Y moved to Brussels. In 1914 the family moved to Listowel where they have since resided. -During her long residence here the late Miss Graing- 1 er made many friends who deeply. , regret her death. Three sisters and three brothers survive, names;', Mrs. 1 E. Gamble and Mrs. F. Steele, Tor- 1 onto; Miss Mary Grainger and John Grainger, Listowel; Harry Grainger, Molesworth, and Richard Grainger, Wroxeter, The funeral took place on Wednesday afternoon, 14th inst.; interment at 4 Molesworth cemetery. The services were ceeducted by Rev. E. F. Armstrong, pastor of the Lie- towel United Church. Pat and the Ladies Do It Up 'Brawn. The Ladies' Aid of the United Church is following the same plait which it used last year, of dividing its members into neighborhood groups and thus promoting friendly rivalry and co-operation, On Thurs- day evening, 15th inst., the mem- bers of group III put on a St. Pat- rick's social in the Sunday school room which certainly was a winner. On entering the door, you were rather taken aback for a minute and had to look the second.,,time to be sure that you wore in the right place for the room was gaily festooned with white and green streamers, and instead of the conventional rows of you ou saw dozens Of little tables l ! a b les with white clothson them four e and to six chairs at each, But befre going a step farther, you had to pay your respects to Miss May Armstrong who acted as St. Peter and who art- ter'wards incidentally turned over el- bout $80 to the Society.( This was; 0 Manager, Brussels Branch merely incidental, you understand.) Well, sharp 011 time, about half an hour late, the program began. It was capably presided over by that irrespressible Irishman (we mean lady), Mrs, Ida Lowry. After a hymn "Blest be the tie that binds," Rev. Mr. Barker offered prayer. Then came the "chairman's" address —(there we got the gender nixed again, but you know)—this was to the effect that there wouldn't be any such address, which there wasn't. So the first numbers of the program pro- per, were three by junior members of the Sunday School: a piano solo, Alice Pope; recitation, Stella Hen- derson; and a vocal duet, Alice Popo and Freida Pollard. The little folks all did their parts very sweetly. Mrs. Robert Strachan then gave an Irish reading which was vociferously en- cored and responded to; both select- ions recounted the experiences ot Biddy, just out from "the old sod," but more than a match for her now associates. Rev. Mr. Barker sag that delightful lilt "When Irish Eyes are Smiling," and as en encore sang "Mother MaCree." On special re- quest, Mrs. Barker gave "The Mess- age of the Shamrock," a wistful re- verie by Jean Blewett, which would make even a stolid Canadian long for "ould Ireland." Mrs. 0. Walker sang a solo describing Pat's liberality, and as an encore, Mrs. Walker gave it as her opinion that "There's Nothing too Good for the Irish," to which all present heartily agreed. Then came the men's chorus consisting of Messrs Peter McArthur, Gilbert Spiers, Robert Strachan, Thos. Pierce and Will Cardiff. First they told us how Nora demurred about leaving home on account of her parents, but Barney persisted and finally won out. When we brought them back they related a touching tragedy which befell two unheard of characters, called Jack and Jill; and a lot of catastrophes a- rising therefrom, with Toni Pierce's sonorous bass coming in strong at the end of every second line. Following this, Mrs. Archy McDonald read ap- preciatively that old favourite "An Exile of Erin," by Thomas Campbell. Next MisPenfold gave a concise ac- count of the life of St. Patrick. Robt, Pierson gave an Irish song and en- core; both of which were much en- joyed. Rev. and Mrs. Lewin cpntri- buted two numbers on the cello and piano. For his first number, Mr. Lewin played the selection now known as "Danny Boy," but which, it was explained, is really an old Irish lullaby, the composer which is un- known. There have been many moairn arrangements of this theme, but the one used by Mr. Lewin was Schubert's. As an encore Mr. -Lewin gave a vocal solo "Father O'Flynn." Later Mr. and Mrs. Lewin played a medley of Irish airs. A.1 the close of the more formal part of the program came an informal Irish contest, in which everybody stepped on every- body else's toes in trying to real the questions, but which nobody minded a bit. You kept your part- ner for the final and very important engagement, an Irish lunch. This consisted of as many green things as possible, served daintily by good (green) looking waiters in green caps, and ended with a cup of green tea strong enough to knock a man down. It would be risky to say BORN ��--"— CLARfi,—In Morris township, on March 20th, 1028, to 01r. and sire William Chink, n daughter. MAICDIDD MON'ARLANE -- STJMOIlIS.—At the Manse, Walton, by Rev. W. J.

"Road to Romance.” Roanan Novarro in the role of an adventurous Spanish don comes to Grand Theatre on Monday and Tues- day uesday in "The Road to Romance," his latest starring vehicle. The film is an elaborate pieturization of Joseph Conrad's famous sea- story, "The Road to Romance," and provides No- varro, in its swashbuckling hero, one of the most colorful, fiery roles of his career. As the courageous youth of 'an aristocratic family, he sails from Madrid for Cuba to resuce his cousin, Serafina, who is about to fall into the hands of Don Balthasar, , a political rogue. It is in the days when piracy flourished upon the Caribbean and the West Indies were a hotbed of intrigue. He is captured by pirates, imprisoned, escapes through the .power of his quick wits and eventually finds the girl. The two immediately fall in love and danger and thrills follow each other in breathtaking' suspense. The pic- ture is dramatic in the extreme and bopsts a love story of unusual appeal. NOTE—As "Keeper oftheBees" has been with- drawn by Film Co. it will not be played at the Grand Theatre Friday and Saturday evenings.
