attention of every customer.
One censtant aim is to produce gar-
ments that have a character—a per-
sonality of their own, to leave the old
beaten track, and rise above the con-
ventional and common place.

The members, past and present, of
the Guild of Trivitt Memorial church
recognized in a very happy and fitting
manner on Thursday afternoon .last
the worth of one of their number,Mrs.

this week for Duluth, Minn. The af-
fair took the form of asocial after-
noon, at which luncheon was served,
followed by a presentation to Mrs.
Gidley of a beautiful silver salver,
handsomely engraved, thus testifying
the esteem in which she is held by the
Guild.
A farmer had a dream. He dream-
ed that he raised a thousand bushels
of wheat, and was happy over the
fact. Then he dreamed that he sold it
for a dollar a bushel and his happiness
was great. But he dreamed now that
he had sold it to a thousand different
people, a bushel to each one, and that
nobody had paid him, and he was sad.
'When he awoke it was broad day-
light, and leaping out of bed, he_ex-
claimed to his wife, "Rebecca! I have
had a solemn warning and I know the
meaning of it. I am going right off to
town and pay the printer the dollar I
owe him for the paper."
The manse was the scene of a very
pleasant gathering on Tuesday even-
ing of last week, the occasion being in
honor of Miss Mary Brown on the eve
of her departure for the West, where
she will on her arrival join hands in
marriage with Mr. Fred. Knight, of
York ton, Assa., formerly of this place,
and son of our esteemed townsman,
Mr. Chas. Knight. The event took
the form of a ';Kitchen Shower" and
many useful articles were presented.
The evening was most pleasantly
spent and all were unanimous in well -
wishes for the young lady in whose
honor the event was occasioned.
Apart from the above gifts Miss Brown
has been the recipient of many beauti-
ful and costly articles, which testifly
to the esteem in which she is held by
her many friends. She left on Tues-
day for Winnipeg, where she will meet
the young man of her affections, and
the Marriage will be performed in that
city, after which they will proceed to
their future home in Yorkton, The
ADVOCATE joins in extending to both
hearty congratulations.

considered a competent one. Some
twenty ponies and burros, a large
number of colored plantation jubilee
singers, a pack of Siberian bloodhounds
and an unusually gorgeous transform-
ation scene, necessitating the utilizing
in its unfolding of nine distinct drop
scenes, will be some of the features
that will greet the eye. At the Opera

Sad Death.
The sad and unexpected news of the
death of Mrs, (Dr.) Harry E. Silk, of
London came as a shock to this com-
munity on Monday morning last.
The death occurred at the Victoria
Hospital after a very brief illness. The
deceased was the second daughter of
our esteemed townsman, . Mr. Robert
Hicks, and for several years had charge
of the telephone office where her cheery
smile won her many friends, who will
deeply mourn her sad and sudden
taking off. Her marriage to Dr. Silk
took place only about 17 months ago.
Besides her parents deceased is sur-
vived by one sister, Mrs. R. Land-
wehr, and one brother, Milton, both
of Los Angeles, Cal. Mrs. Land-
wehr is at present visiting her parents
here. The funeral took place on Wed-
nesday to Woodland cemetery, Lon-
don. The death is one of extreme
sadness and the bereaved parents and
friends have, the sincere sympathy
of all.
The Evils of High Heels.
The evil effects of high heels are set
forth strikingly by Dr. Grace Peck-
ham Murray in an article on "Dress"
in THE DELINEATOR for November.
Illustrations of the foot photographed
from beneath through glass demon-
strate very clearly the deformity that
is caused by high heels—so clearly that
any woman with average common
sense must shun them evermore.
Among other things,Dr. Murray says:
"If the natural position of the foot is
contrasted with that which the high
heel compels the foot to take, it will be
seen how most of the weight comes
on the ball of the foot. The higher
the heel the greater the pressure on
the toes and the joints. It is so great
that it turns joints out of position. It
is in this way that bunions are formed
from wearing high heels. Also, the
weight being transferred far forward
to the ball of the foot, the whole equil-
ibrium of the body is changed, and it
can be seen how headaches are occa-
sioned by this, as well as eye -strain,
spinal weakness and disturbance of
the internal organs."
Death of Harvey N. Dignan.
The news of the death of one of Ex-
eter's clever and trustworthy young
men came as a shock to the people of
town on Thursday last, when word
was received here that Harvey N. Dig-
nan, son of Mr. and Mrs. John E. Dig-
nan had passed away in the Toronto
General Hospital, on the morning of
that day, at the age of 22 years. De-
ceased bad been ill for about four
weeks of typhoid fever and according
to previous report the fever was de-
clining and the patient was on the
mend. However, a hemorrhage set in
and in his weakened condition he was
unable to stand the loss of blood, with
the result that a very short time after
be passed to the great beyond. Mr.
Dignan has been for the past five years
an employe of the Bell Telephone Com-
pany and for two years has been local
manager for the company in the dis-
trict of Bowmanville, Oshawa and
Whitby, with offices at Bowmanville.
His rise in the employ of the company
has been rapid, having commenced as
a helper and in three years had quali-
fied for the position he held at the
time of his death. He was a young
man of excellent qualities and pleas-
ant disposition, winning many warm
friends in the different towns he visit-
ed in .the interest of the company.
The body was brought to Exeter on
Friday evening and taken to the home
of the parents on Andrew street, from
where the funeral took place on -Sun-
day afternoon at 2 o'clock. While at
Bowmanville the deceased became a
member of the Independent Order of
Oddfellocvs, and the funeral services
were conducted under the auspices of
the Exeter Lodge who, together with
several members from Hensa.11, at-
tended in a body. As a tribute of re-
spect the Bowmanville Lodge sent
their Financial -Secretary, Mr. Tait, to
attend the. funeral. -They also sent .a
beautiful wreath. Other wreaths and
sprays of beautiful flowers were sent
by friends in St. Thomas, London and
the Bell Telephone Company. Among
the ofcialsof the company whoattend-
ed the funeral were Mr. Brown, the
superintendent, and Messrs. Sterling,
Roberts and Richmond. The very
large concourse of Exeter people who
followed we the remains to the Exeter
cemetery showed the high esteem in
which the young man was held, and
the deep sympathy for the bereaved
parents and sister.

Mervin, the two year-old son of Mr.
Jas. Collingwood, of Brantford, form-
erly of Exeter, was recently operated
on for appendicitis and is recovering
rapidly.
The first of the fortnightly social
evenings given by the Entertainrhent
Club took place in Fanson's Hall on
Thursday ev'g last, and was a decided
success in every particular. The hall
under the new management has been
rearranged and tastily painted and
kaisomined and presents a very much
improved appearance. Some seventy-
five young people were present and
enjoyed an evening's amusement. The
affair broke up at 12 o'clock.
Hicks for October. .
The culminating crises of this per-
iod will fall on and touching Monday
the 24th. On and about this date will
also be another period when earth-
quake shivers will be reported from
different quarters of the globe. Look
for frost well to the southward, with
some freezing to the north at the end
of and for some days following this
period. The last period of disturbance
in October, blending with. Mercury
equinox, is central on the 27th and
28th. At this time look for a reaction
to warmer, with falling barometer and
return of rain and thick cloudiness
and mist, amounting to sleet in many
sections northward. The month will
go out with antistorm areas spreading
eastward from the west-northwest
causing general change to much cool-
er. We have thus outlined the period-
ic storm movements for October.
But those who have followed our fore-
casts for any length of time know that
these'forecasts imply that much pleas-
ant, open weather will come between
the preturbed periods. Even in the
opening stages of storm periods, much
of our finest autumn weather will oc-
cur, and immediately behind the ac-
tual area of cloudiness and precipita-
tion, cooler but fine weather condi-
tions set in. So that instead of
"storms all the time," fair to pleasant
weather is to be expected in a large
measure.
