The oecasion was a very happy one indeed. During the evening her niece, Miss Luella Walkinshaw, read a very appropriate address, and her only granddaugh- ter, Miss Isabel McKnight, present. ed her with a beautiful bedroom lamp. After refreshments were served all joined in community singing and after wishing the guest of honor many more happy birthdays, alt de- parted to their homes. The following was the address read: "Dear Aunt Bella; It is with the greatest pleasure we have come to- gether to -night, to help you cele, brate another birthday. And since you have attained and even passed the fourscore mark, we feel the oc- casion to be a very special one, in- deed, and are happy in the privilege of being here to do you honor. With some of us who are of questionable age, we prefer now to keep our birthdays a deep secret,- but with you, it is something to be proud of, to have passed these several mile- stones. Your relationship to those present is most interestingly varied, being great-grandmother, grandmother, mother, mother-in-law, great aunt, aunt and sister, and needless to say, you are mueh beloved by all. We recall with delight, many hap- py gatherings in your • home, and will always remember your gener- ous hospitality and kindness on those occasions. We appreciate, too, the wise counsel and guidance you were always willing to give and the sympathetic interest you took in things worth while, pertaining to anyone of us. Many changes have taken place throughout the years, and many of those near and dear to all of us, have passed on, but others have come into the circle of our relatives, and when we meet on occasions like this and at our annual pienic held last week, we rejoice at the oppor- tunity afforded of the re -union of these relatives. As a slight token of our esteem and affection, we ask you to accept this lamp together with our vera heartiest birthday greetings and best wishes that you may be spared to see many more years of health and happiness. So we've gathered on your birthday to present this little light, May your days be full of happiness and -all your nights be 'bright. In all our hearts are heaps of love for you, and kindly thoughts galore Are parcelled with this token for the one whont we adore, Signed on behalf of the relatives, -tM, L, ;W}alkin'shaw,' Will Miller," Nediger's garage was broken into. to Sunday night, an entry being made through a window.

This is the second time this gar age leas been broken into, on the last ocdasion the sum of eighteens• dollars being taken. OSBORNE---;LOCKWOOD On Saturday, Sept. 2nd, a quiet,. but pretty wedding took place in the manse of Riverdale United Church, Toronto, when Beatrice Maude, (Jan- et), youngest daughter of Mrs. Fred- erick Lockwood of Clinton, was uni- ted in marriage to Mr. John Leslie Osborne. The Rev. R. J. Follett of- ficiated, The bride, who was given in mar- riage by her father, looked lovely in a gown of bine silk net and lace over crepe, picture hat of matching matero iai, blue lace mittens and carried an arm bouquet of pink roses, Miss Ina Gilmour, the bridesmaid, wore pale peach silk net and lace over crepe,. lace mittens of the same shade, black: picture hat and carried an arm bou- quet of red roses. Mr. Frank Mare shall, cousin of the groom, acted as best man. After the ceremony, a buffet lun- cheon was served at the home of the bride's sister, Mrs. Chas. F. Linton,. Kenilworth Ave„ who received•wear- ing a bergundy crepe dress and hat and corsage bouyuet of pink roses and Iily of the valley. Mrs, N. Os- borne, mother of the groom, assisted wearing brown figured crepe, hat and accessories matching, corsage' bouquet of yellow roses and lily of the valley. Immediately following, the young couple left on a short wedding trip, the bride travelling in a grey en- semble with hat and shoes to match:. AT ROYAL GARDEN PARTY The following is an extract from a letter received by her parents, Col. H, B, and Mrs. Combe, from Miss Agnes Combe, who has been in Eur. ope all summer and who seems to be having a very interesting time. She describes King George as a most charming man, at close range, some- thing we'd always suspected: "I must tell you about the Royal Garden Party. Ib was a very hot day, but very interesting. The wo- men dressed very much as they did at Ascot, but the men, I think, a bit more informal. The gardens are behind the Palace, from where you• watch the changing of the guard;. and is a beautiful park, must cover 30 er 40 acres, if not. more. They are supposed to be the best kept gardens in the world, but the gar- dens in London are all se beautiful,, I could not see much difference. There was a chalked path from the Palace to the red and gold cov- er, supported by solid silver poles,. where the Roiyal family were suppos- ed to walk and we stood what seem- ed like hours to get a good view of them. They came out at about. half, past four. The aide went ahead and picked certain people out of the crowd to come and speak to them. I was very mach surprised in the King—we both fell very violently- for iolentlyfor him --he is so absolutely differ- ent from his pictures, of just seeing• him from a distance. His magnetism - and charm seemed to radiate all ov- er the place. ,He had quite a long chat with a lady standing right next to me. They were jollying each oth- er about losing money on some horse --horses are quite personages• here, apparently, at any rate I was thoroughly enthralled, much more so• than with the Prince of Wales or the Queen. The Prince is very. small. I looked hard at the escorts• but did not recognize any of thein, and was surprised when I read next morning, that they comprised the. Duke and Duchess of Yorlc and the Princess, etc. They had huge marquees where one pushed through• the crowd to get tea, sandwiches, raspberries and cream and ices, then' we walked 'around the gardens and came home about slix o'clock. There were crowds of people watch- ing us emerge. I was told there were. 10,000 people there, but the gardens• were so large there did not seem to. •be many at all."
