One ofthe most interesting cases
ever tried in Bruce before Mr. Just-
ice Latchiord in the High Court at
Walkerton recently, in which Mts.
' Hicks, a widow of Tiverton, formerly
of Port Elgin, sought to recover a lot
cf money, stock and properity she had
turned over to Mrs. Jessie Giles and
daughter, Mary of Tiverton, whom
she claims took advantage of her gul-
lible nature to play her, as it were, for'
an easy mark. It appears that Mrs.
Hicks who went to spend the summer
at the beach near Tiverton met the
Giles who evinecki 'such friendship for
her that she was persuaded to go and
live with .them. They were the very
milk of kindness and Mrs• Hicks turn-
ed over to them her house and lot in •
Port Elgin valued at4,1200, a. Chevor
•'let: car worth about $450 some shares
of ,stock in the Huron, and Erie Loan
Co., together with her household furn-
iture and goods.. ,er all her avail -
means were e ted Mrs. Hicks cl-
aims th the a osphere suddenly
changed wards her in the home and
-that ins d °of °the •*rstwhi4e tender-
ness show er she was now treated
with great hardship and compelled
like a,servant to do -the wuoll. and dirt-
dgery of the _ place. It ended she
claims in her finally being turned out
of the house. The Giles who told an
altogether' diftierent story and denied.,
ever having mistreated the woman put
in a counter 'chit► for bdarJ lodging
and other items amounting to $486.85.
After hearing the different versions of
tale; Mr. Justice Latchford gave judg- •
meat in favor of Mrs. Hicks' and prd-'
tered that her house and lot is Port
Elgin be returned to her and that she
be refunded $1100 and interest on'the
stocks she had turned over to Mrs.
Giles in. the Huron and .Erie Loan Co.,
andthat defendants pay • all costs'in

'was also dismissed,. but.they were al-
lowed to keep the Chevorlet car and

THE STAR is sometim es described as a Radical.
Without admitting all that the term sometimes
involves, The Star regards the description as a
compliment rather than a criticism ---for what it really
means is that
THETORQNTO STA
is in the forefront of progressive movements.
Take the Farmers' Movement. •Its.eity friends
used good-naturedly to chaff the Star «•hen, on 00-
eastern, it suffered defeat fighting the Farn-. rs'•
-
cause. Now, when the Farmers' movement has many:,
friends, The Star does not so often,hear that itis aft
extremist on this issue.
So with Tabor. ('nidings directed of tie Star

now. the p'tint of vi; o' is ehant ing. Conciliation.

that make; the dance a dream. All -
around the wall were Finnish signs,
"Do not smoke.. Intoxicating liquors
strictly prohibited." Over the stage
was "displayed • a Finnish pennant
.which, translated, read' "The place
of gathering of the working people."
On either side of ,the stage hung two
Union Jacks. - . •

suit, so all felt at ease. Presently
Nestor Mantilla, the Finn accordeon
player, began to tune up. He was an
artist, that Nestor. .His hair was not'
worn a la Paderewski, but plastered
dowp flat as paint streaks on a
grafen image. But his platform tech-
nique, his vanity, the elaborate af-
fectation of the slow, solemn move-
ment of his head - from side to side
as he -laid one gaunt cheek after an-
other on the ends of his instrument,
the dreamy look in his deep-set eyes,
all pointed to the musician of qual-
ity.. He was a toaster and one felt
it as he iilayed.. He started :off
with a wild, weird skirling, • but
broke into a waltz. • The tune he
played throughout the evening never
varied except once 'When he broke un-
expectedly into "gomin' Thu' the

Mrs.. McKirdy, a dear old lady` who
constituted herself a sort of chaperon
'tor the strangers, carne up attd asked
if they would like, to meet .some of
the ladies. Of 'course they would.
Few had- ye;t come,- but she intro-
duced two .Swedish giri's,_Iiulda..ajo-.

The cosmopolitan nature of the af-

these people together from. a hun-
dred corners of the world to take
pleasure for a few brief hours in each
other's company, that was the out-
standing feature of it all. If -you

girls, mostly clad in "black whish They
