Lodge on Tuesday evening in view of their intention of leaving town for the West, where they will engage, in the French dry cleaning business., A BOWLING EPISODE (By Skedunk) The Bowlers had a dandy time, last Monday on the green, And scored a well-earned victory over Listowel's jolly, teams; The lawn was in good order — the weather it was fine, And every one declared they had a pleasant time. Tom Jackson did the "jolly" act, John Ransford made some noise, Jack Hoover took some running shots that satisfied the boys; Jake Taylor kissed the kitty Iike he'd kiss a pretty girl, While Doc Agnew ran the score up high and ended with a whirl. John Hunter is so quiet you could scarcely hear him play, But t'ween hint and Mayor Wiltse, they helped to win the day; Ed' Courtice is a good one, and his bowling is not bad, And on same rink -was playing his venerable dad. John Harland is an expert, he's played the game before, And with Brydone and Ab Morrish de- served a better score; Doc Shaw can lay a close bowl, and Doctor Ball as well, But when Irwin's bowl has ceased to run, it's always sure to tell. Graham may get rattled, but he still Can make the curve, Jack Wiseman, as a counter, will nev- er lose his nerve; Will Collyer does not often play, but still he makes the draw, While Armstrong is a stand-by and scarcely makes a flaw. A Simple Change Makes a Big Difference Famous Baritone Re -Engaged By CBC Earle Spicer, internationally fa- mous Canadian baritone who has a- chieved unusual success both on this continent and in Britain, has been. re-engaged by the `Canadian Broad- casting Corporation for a series of recitals to be presented from the Halifax studios during the spmmer months.

A of iftQueen Victoria G Victoria Day always will have a special meaning for Madame Jeanne Maubnirg, grand old actress of •the Montreal studios of the Canadian Broadcasting . Corporation. • Every 24th of May, Madame Maubourg goes to her box of jewels, takes a brooch bearing the initials "VRI" and wears it for the day. At bedtime the brooch goes back to its place of safe- ty, to be worn again only on May 24 of the next year. This interesting little story came to life on the -evening of Victoria Day last, after Madame Maubourg had di- rected a special broadcast in honour of Dollard. During rehearsals and during the broadcast itself everyone around -the LRCM studios had Veen attracted by the brooch which Ma- dame Moubourg was wearing with dignity and pardonable pride. Upon questioning, the darling old trouper admitted the brooch had been given to her. by Queen Victoria. "I was a member of the Covent1 Garden Troupe with such artists ash Melba and Jean de Rieke," Madame( Maubourg explained. "One evening, we were invited to give Faust at Windsor Castle before Queen Vic -I toria and her 'court.: After the per- formance we were, guests of Her Majesty Who presented to each one of us a souvenir. This brooch is the memento S received and that is why it will always mean so much to 'me, even more than words can explain."' his studies in Canada.

She can get a home im- provement'.loan and tear down some walls of her own home if she wants to realize her desire. One home owner, by having the wall between the living and dining rooms removed, obtained one large combination room. This resulted in an appearance of spaciousness. Be- sides, the new large room was light and airy, whereas the two small ones had been inclined to stuffiness. A Bade surrounded the three walls of what had Beed the dining room and this was left intact, A. small figured paper covered 'remaining walls.. Woo- den floors were sanded and waxed, A beam along the ceiling on the side of; the wail in which the fireplace was located gave the effect °f an alcove.. The modern fireplace had no mantel. Entrance from the street was in the living room side of the apart-' ment. There were four windows at which venetian blinds were hung. The house was air-conditioned and floor plugs were arranged so that lamps could be -placed conveniently in any part of the room. The original ceiling fixtures were left in the room, making it possible to light the place completely 'if desired. The woodwork • was painted white to give a feeling of brightness. Modern fixtures replaced old-fashioned wall brackets.
