The meeting opened with a short sing -song after which Mrs. Elmer Stephenson took charge of the de- votional period during which Mrs. E. Butt and Gladys Forbes sang a duet and Mrs. Harold Finnigan gave the topic. The minutes of the last meeting were read by Phyllis. Boyes and it was decided that in view of the pre- sent situation in Europe that each person bring an article of used clothing to the next meeting, to be sent to the Aid to Children Fund in Britain. Robert Wallace, the citiz- enship convener, gave an interest- ing talk on current events after which Wilma and Ross McLean fa- vored us with several duets. Mr. and Mrs. Haney were then asked to come to the front and the following address was read: "Dear Anna and Warden: Having recently heard of your marriage we unite to extend our congratulations and good wishes. We feel sure, War- den, that your bride who for so many years has been most regular and punctual in the Sunday school' and choir, will be just as dependable in getting up in the morning and cooking meals sharp on time. You will find, Anna, that making a hus- band out of a man is one of the highest plastic arts known to civil- ization. It requires science, sculp-. tune, common sense, faith, hope and charity, especially charity. It is a psychological marvel that a soft, fluffy, tender, violet -scented, sweet little thing like a woman should en- joy kissing a big awkward, stubby chinned thing like a man. Husbands are of three varieties, prizes, sur - prizes and consolation prizes. A good many husbands are entirely spoiled by mismanagement in cook- ing and so are not tender and good, some women keep them constantly in hot water, others freeze them, others put them in a stew, others roast them, others keep them con- stantly in a pickle, but they are really delicious when properly treat- ed. Do not try him with anything sharp to see if he is becoming tend- er. We look forward with pleasure to your continued fellowship and as- sistance in the choir, Sunday school and Young People's, and in all good friendship with good wishes the dhoir, Sunday school an& Young People's of Egmondville United Church ask you to accept these gifts." Anna and Warden both thanked their friends in a few well chosen words, and lunch was served.

When the gifts had been opened, Graoe in a few well chosen. words thanked everyone, after which "For She's a ,lolly Good Fellow" was sung.
