Invited for the
week -end
—by Long Distance
It was Thursday afternoon
in the country. Hospitable.
Mrs. Martin seemed disap-
pointed. The week had slip-
ped away before she -knew
it. No one had been invited`'
up for the week -end and
there wasn't time in which
to write. ,
And then she thought of
the telephone — Long Dis-
tance! What an inspiration!
In twenty minutes she knew
the Smarts would come —
delighted to — and what
train they would be • on.
Splendid! — and she had
ordered some extra supplies
from her grocer in town to
be shipped by express that
night!
What a pleasant week -end
she will have thanks to

ty to get rested up.
Received by >Cwyalty
Before leaving home the party
had anticipated a splendid trip but
we can say now that it has exceeded
our expectations. From the mo-
ment we lauded on Belgium soil un-
til we took our departure` from Bel-
fast we received the most cordial
hospitality,:; and reception after re-
ception were given in our honor. At
Brussels the party was graciously
received by His Majesty King Albert
of Belgium in his royal palace. At
Malities Cardinal Mercier received
the party at his palatial dwelling. At
Paris the President of France shook
hands with the members of the par-
ty and Marshall Foch pOssided at a
function in our honor. In England
a reception was given at Bucking-
ham Palace when Their Majesties
King. George V and Queen Mary
moved among the party shaking
hands and chatting with several of
the members: There were many
other important functions (thirty-
five in all having been accorded the
party during their short stay) but
the above are perhaps the most out-
standing.
VETERANS' PICNIC
As announced in a previous issue
the Veterans' Picnic at Bayfield,
Wednesday, August 13th promises
to be a great success judging from
the number of enquiries from all
parts of the County. The Clinton
Kittle Band will be in attendance
and all the Sports and baseball
matches have been 'arranged for by
theasports committee. The secretary
will be pleased to hear from all in-
tending to come so that suitable
arrangements may be made for their
convenience and each party will
please register on arrival at the
park.

fear ,and trembling. The voyage,

and the party•,.being somewhat ac
cumtonned • to travel were less affect-
ed th• 1 on the trip over. The course
than
taken was the - extreme northerly
one and the atmosphere at times
was a trifle chilly. With the ex-
ception of a little fog on reaching.
the south coast of Labrador, the trip
was uneventful. Some were a lit-
tle disappointed at not even seeing
an iceberg, although a few on board
saw the spouts of a whale, and ot-
hers a. school of porpoises.
At Quebec while 'strolling along
the • promenade we ran across Mr.
and Mrs. E. Harwood and, some.
friends from Toronto, who were on
a motor trip. We were pleased to
know that Mr. Harwood's mother,
Mrs. •Jas: Pickard, is keeping fine,
After its all over we are glad to

are to follow a detailed account of
the trip will be given. This week

HURONDALE
The Hurondale W.I. met at the
"home of Mrs. N. Raney on Friday,
August lst, It was decided to
again send a barrel of fruit to the
Sick Children's hospital Toronto. A
committee was appointed to make
arrangements for a concert in the
near future. The program consisted
of community singing, a reading by
Mrs, N. Raney and guitar and
piano duets by the Misses Broadfoot.
Mrs. R. Kydd gave ` an excellent
paper on the importance of rest and
recreation to maintain nature,
books, travel and an afternoon at the
Women's Institute where ideas could
be exchanged as the older women
used to do over their knitting.
Lunch was then served and a. social
time spent. The next meeting will
be held at Mrs. C. Allison's
The Itinerary
Starting at Antwerp, in Belgium,'
the party proceeded to Malines, the
home of Cardinal. Mercier, and then
left for Brussls. From there 'we
went to Liege,• where Col. Naessens
showed us the' ruins of Fort Loncin
Col. Naessens commanded this fort
which held the Germans back for
17 days when :they first started to
cross Belgium territory in August
1914. The French and Engish
were thus enabled to mobolize their
armies. He and a number 'df his
men were taken from the fort un-
conscious and -were held as prison-
ers for the remainder of the war.
The next spot of interest. to be
visited by some members of the
party was the scene of the battle of
Waterloo. For the next two days
the party toured' the battlefields
around Lille, Ypres, Vinay, Etc, vis-
iting a number of the cemeteries,
which, we were delighted to note,
are being well cared for.
Gay Paris, with its many points
Of interest, occupied the party for
tliree days and four nights, one of
the outstanding points of --interest
being Versailles, where the peace
treaty was signed. . On June 29th
we Ieft Paris for London,tthe metro-
polis of the Empire, where for ten
days it was a continuous round of
sight-seeing and entertainment a
Through Great . Britain
On�July 9, the party bid farewell
to London, leaving for Leamington,
Warwick and Stratford -on -Avon, the
home of Shakespeare. This is sit-
uated about the centre of England.
From there we travelled to Tor-
quay, a beautiful resort in beautiful
Devon, on the southern coast. A
short stay in Exeter was of great
interest to all .members of the party
but more ,'particularly °to us who live
in the town which bears the same
name. While lier•e Messrs. Creech
and •Southcott conveyed the • greet-
ings of Exeter, Canada, to Efreter,
England.
Sunday, July 13, was spent in the
city of Bath, famous for its mineral
springs. Monday. and Tuesday were
spent in Walea, at Cardiff and
Swansea, the metallurgic centre of
the Empire's where pickle, silver,
gold and tin are refined. The next
stop was at Liverpool and from there
we went to Manchester and Stock-
port, industrial centres, where sev-
eral manufacturing plants -were vis-
ited.
Sunday, July, 20 was spent in the
inland summer resort of Harrogate.
Leaving Harrogate for York, visit-
ing the faniotis York Minster Ca-
thedral, the party then left England
for Scotland.
