GARDEN PARTY.
The Garden Party given by the
Ladies' Guild of the Trivitt'Memor-
ial Church on. the lawn Tuesday ev-
ening was attended with the usual suc-
cess. A slight sh,oiver at about ten
o'clock threatened to break up the af-
fair, but ,that over the program was
continued and. the various number
were much enjoyed. The program
consisted of selections by the Exeter
Band, the violin orchestra organized

ial quartette, Miss Grigg of Montreal
piano solo; solos by Mrs. Airth of
Renfrew and Mr. Middlemiss, all of

C OMMUNICATION
Dear Editor. -The band concert giv-
en in Vectorea park oa Sunday even-
ing last by our band, was of high and
entertaining nature. The selections
were appropriate for the evening and
well rendered, for which, Mr. Harry
Gidley as leader and the other mem-
bees ,o1 the bane deserve great credit.
It war enjoyed by a large gathering
of lovers of music. The evening was
fine .and all that could be desired to
make the entertainment a pleasant one.
But I wish to' express my regret for
the. conduct of some of the small boys
near the band stand. It was not only
annoying to the people, who came to
listen. to the music, but greatly an-
noyed, the barred, troubling them 'to
bring tout the proper expressiom,which
is practically all there is in mune. I,
therefore, would ask the parents of the
children, who come, to enjoy the even-
ing, to strictly warm their children to
give the band the best of order, while
rendering the different nurliers,, then
at intervals they, may engage en con-
Versation. I am unformed that the
band will discontinue these concerts
if this ,rule es not observed. " Hoping
this will have the desired ,effect, I aan,.
Yours truly,
A. citizen
THOUGHTS ON LIFE AND
e BUSINESS.
Honking your horn doesn't help so
much as steering wisely.
Don't expect poor work now to lead
to brilliant work hereafter.
You have no idea how big the other
f ellow'a troubles are,
It's all right to aspire to control
athers.,but haveyou begun. with Nem -
leer Once ?
Notice that the two -Thirds of "Pro-
motion" consists of "Motion."
There is la better marketfor smiles
than frowns.
The highest form of salesmanship is
nothing but service,
The only influence worth having is
the influence you yourself create,
The wages iof idleness is demotion.
Thera is no higher rapk than that
of worker.
No title can ever make a loafer a
noble pien.
There must ,be 'output before there
can be income, ".
Defeat . is 'often a spur to, victory.
