visitors' was intermixed with phono-
graphic selections and social chat, Ice
creatn and cake were served before the
jolly company of girls departed to their
several homes. Visit was a mutual
pleasure.
OPEN UP CROssrNGS,—Would it not be
s good idea, in the absence of the old
time street crossings, if during the Win•
ter the Street Committee would mark
out a few well defined pathways, across
'Curnberry street, so that folk would not
he wandering all over to find a beaten
path ? The locations of the former
crossings appear to be the natural places
for such, clear cut paths, THR Posg
thinks a good' purpose would be served
by so doing.
RUNWAYS Foe SURFACE WATER.—
Now that Spring weather will soon be
along it wid be important to the comfort
of pedestrians if attention is given to
keeping runways open to the catch bas•
ius of the Main street sewers, so as to
get quickly rid of the surplus water.
When the elevated crossings were in
use (and some of them were well named)
the public sought these to keep out of
the slush but le their absence, unless
the water is given a chance to get away,
it will be a case of wade after every thaw
until the snow disappears, Wet feet are
not the best ae0onlpaniments uulees you'
are careless about the precautionary
measures of keeping in fit.
