She was attended by her sister Anna;

VARNA.
The Patriotic Society. In the last

Patriotic Society sent the following:
16 pr. pyjamas, 2 guilts, 16 shirts,
47 pairs socks, 1 pair mitts, 1 seed,
a barrel of fruit, telt pound can
of honey, a case of dried apples, and a

Workers are welcome.
Box. Social—A box social under the
auspices of the Varna L.O.L., was
well attendeed on the e' 'ening of the
16th, in spite of the fact that a play
was ,oil in Bayfield and a hard time
dance on the 2nd of. Stanley. The
boxes were numerous and in all sizes
and shapes, some of which were Very
beautiful. A gold lined `fruit spoon was
offered a s a premium by the members
of the"L:O.L. to the lady possessing
the box that brought the highest bid
and Miss Edith Rathwell was award-
ed the spoon. Her box brought $4.
Muchcredit is due the members -of the
lodge, particularly the Working Com-
snittee who spared no labor to make
the social a success, and .thanks is dine
the ladies who served tea and also the
auctioneer, Mr. Elliott, who was un-
tiring in his efforts to make the most
if the boxes and also his brother who
helped with the splendid .program,
The proceeds of the evening amountd
to $87 ,which was handed over to the
Ladies Patriotic Society, 'whoee 'mem-
bers are truly thanul to the Orange-
men of the community for their splen-
did donation.
From the Front. --The following let
ter was receives by -Mrs. John Beattie
of Varna, from Lyle Hill. He says:
My Dear Mrs. Beattie—YoU must
surely think me awfuly careless for
tot answering your letter which I re-
ceived quite a Tong time ago, but there
are several reasons why you have not
heard from me before now. One is
that I did write to you early last De-
s embet and carelessly neglected to
poet the letter. However, I hope you
will not be angry, and as they say bet-
ter late than never." I was, quite
pleased to hear from you as a letter
from home is always very welcome.
You know I don't feel a total stranger
to you as I remember spending a very
enjoyable evening at your place, and
then I have often heard my brother
speak of you. I have only a short
time ago retuned from ten days leave
in England and might say that I had
a really wonderful time. The Eng-
lish families whom. I visited were ex-
ceptionally
xceptionally nice to 'ne and T came away
with a much better opinion of English
hospitality than I -had enertained 'be-
fore. I also saw my brother, •when
I was there (J. C. Hill) . He is look-
ing very well indeed, =I -was very
pleased,to see him after nearly two
years separation. Now for the .main
issue of this note. You may rest as -
sated that any rumors you Tiaay_ave h
heard about the articles sent out here
by. the Red Cross or any society are
NOT sold, and are given to the- boys
at times when they require -them most.
I have seen them being issued to .nen'

and I may as well say ;here, that they

The keys, stri s ofwood graduated
in length to he musical scale, are
made ol._two Inds of wood called
"hormigo,";no unlike cedar, and
"aguacates'" The keys are held to-
gether by means of a cord drawn
through them:. There are 45 tones
and 30 half tones. The bass tones r
are given by the long, thick .slats, the
high tones by the short; ' thin slats.
The keys are struck with two small
rubber hammers. called "banlquetaa,"
The marimba .is about eight feet
long, and varies from. one to two feet

ly, in Ontario greater facilities

than could be, found .anywhere else

the opening up of Northern Ontario.
There was a dual advantage in put-

accompanied by a friend whose color
and ample proportions. matched her
own, Maggie sallied forth one maw
to take in the sights of the tat

B. asked. her if they had enjoyed
themselves. "Yes, ma'am, Miss
