Y. P, -A. Concert. --)Fortunately
artists, there are those who delight
in food for the soul as well as the
kind provided at a Box Social or a
Tea meeting. The audience which
heard Mrs. Ring, of Windsor, at the
concert last Wednesday everting, was
a slim one but made up in enthusiasm
and appreciation what it lacked in
numbers. Genuine disappointment
was felt when it became known
that
Mrs. Ring would not be heard in
Brucefield-again. In the basement
of the church at a long table made
gay with dainty little baskets and
boxes, the choir girls' sold home-
made candy. The program was
opened by the Boyce orchestra and
then. Mrs. Ring made her bow to the
audience, looking very petite and
winsome in a gown of pure white
beaded • georgette, with a rarely
beautiful Parisian scarf of white and
rose caught pn one shoulder and fall-
ing gracefully to the floor. Mrs:
Armour accompanied her at the piano.
throughout the .evening. Others: on
the program were Miss Eleanor
Snider in a piano number, Miss Irene
Snider in both reading and song, and
Mr. Jarvis 'Horton with his violin.
Mrs. King's numbers were: "The
Magic of the Night" (Hillary Vaugh-
an), "Mary of Argyle," "The Mar-
ket" (Molly • Carew), "The False
Prophet" (John . ,Brindle Scott),
"Angus Macdonald" (Joseph Roech-
el), "Morning" (Oley.Speaks), "The
b u 1 d Plaid Shawl" (Battison
Haynes), "Bon Jour, Ma Belle" (A.
H. Behrend), and two duets with
Mr. Armour, "Down . the Vale"
(Frank L: Moir) and ("The Keep of
Heaven" from . "English Country
Songs," the latter affording much
merriment. 13y request the last num-
ber was Carrie Jacobs Bond's rarely
beautiful song,,"A Perfect Day" by
Mrs. King and Mrs. Armour. Mrs.
King's gift of song is loved both for
what it makes people forget and what
it makes them remember. That is the
luxury of music.
Horticultural Society. - Mrs. Ape
drew Scott won the Secretary's prize
of a rosebush by handing in her,

each member and later on' there will
be other house -plant seeds. There
