Every effort had been made to im- press upon the mind that it was the festival of St. Pat. The tables were prettily decorated with all sizes of Shamrocks.. From . the chandeliers, drapped with tissue ribbons of emer- ald .hue, ran streamers 'of the same shade to the four corners, of the gable, ending in large bows. Even Paddy, in plug hat Nand clay pipe, occupied the' place of\ distinction on the small table as' centre decoration, resting on .a shamrock /and made a fitting setting with his florid com- plexion. ;Piggy was also evident on another corner of the table. Ample justice"being ,done to all the good things prepared, the ladies indulged in narrating some of those old time jokes on Pat of which w -e, never,seem. to tire. A parody on Mary's Lamb was, read by one of the ladies. The meeting closed with the sing- ing of "She's a Jolly Good Fellow," Mrs. J. R. Archibald and Mrs, J. J \ferner assisted Mrs. Case.

SEASON WITH CLEAN SHEET At the Lions sentiLmonthly meeting held in the Commercial Hotel last Thursday ever ing, one . of the most gratifying items waSithe returns from the Euchre and Darice of the night before The latst•remaining remnant of the outstanding debt was wiped away ,and the Lions. Club enters the new season 'with gr ater confidence than ever before Wlsen it is remem- bered that, the members undertook a work and saddled themselves with ar. undertaking costing some twelve hundred dollars actually, then it is quiteeasy to understand' their satis- t, ction,.with the results. • The sup- Mart they have received, • especially ras from the couhtry peopl; has helped woadf h d i i err u y an t , s a matter :,:of great regret that owing to a defect- ive roof so •many of the lady guests at the .euchre had .their ,clothing, in the waiting room, spofiled Steps have already been taken to see that this does not occur again.l Another un- fortunate happening ,was the fact that with such a crowd present, there seems to have been some who care very little • whether they take their own property or not, from the waiting rooms. Let it be distinctly understood in 'future, that if such• persons can be apprehended, they will be, and the executive will see to it that the punishment w df be as severe as possible. The large crowd. present . at the Euchre greatly apprepiated the in- novations put on; -the Balloon Dance and Railroad Waltz especially, During the regular meeting on Thursday night, a vote of thanks was given Lion. Keating for his untiring efforts in making: the affair such a success. The "Lions Tale" edited by Lion C. P. Sills, made its monthly appearance and was read by the Editor; o the ma' t Awas the he de- rivation m and genesis of the names of the- different members. To judge .from the applause, the• Lions' found some- thing:, new about themselves every few minutes and all went home prouder than ever of the family name. The meeting • following so close to the 17th of March, that Tail Twister Frank Sills, instead of using his new conductor's baton, carried out his part: of the programme with a regular policemen'si baton, as used by Irishmen the world over, to produce perfect harmony. With the return of Spring, the Lions are pre- pared to do a real worlf in the com- munity'and with the shackles of debt removed will enter into the plans out- d r. lined with especial vigoo COLLEGIATE PlOTES. Nearly three hundred,People visited, 1r the Collegiate during the hours the s Art Exhibit was open last` week. All lv were pleased; many were surprised and even amazed at the quality, size' q and beauty of the prints ; and some were so attracted by the artistic ex pression and cultural value that they returned a second time, spending hours in the study of the pictures. Several, after viewing the Art t tis- play, strolled . through the various rooms recalling as they went many happy incidents, noting the changes made since their time here, and point- ing out the seat from vantage point of which they absorbed some of their education. Only the masterpieces. of the very best artists of each country and 'per- iod were shown, together with beau- tiful photograph of the most famous gems of architecture in the world. The exhibit was opened free to the u i l s PA ofthe school at ali convenient hours—except exec school Pt hour — s a nd it was delightful to see the interest and enthusiasm shown by them. If the exhibit had not made a single dollar the staff feel that any trouble , they went to was amply rewarded by the refining effects which must have re- sulted to •the pupils through the op- portunity thus afforded and so eager l Y grasped. A prize picture is being given to the form which sold the greatest number of tickets per capita. The winning form was allowed to chose the picture liked best by the majority of the pupils of that form. This honor was won by the second form and their choice of the pictures in the exhibit was "Moonlight on Sag Harbor." The net proceeds of the exhibit amounted to $53.50 approximately, This amount, together with most of the proceeds from the Commence- ment held last November, will be spent immediately in the purchase of pictures. It is expected that fourteen or fifteen beautiful pictures, hand- somely framed, will soon be decorat- ing the class -rooms and halls of the Collegiate building. Keep This Date Open Tuesday Evening; APRIL 6TH; 1926. OLD TIMER' DANCE Cardno's Opera Hail Music by Hogg Orchestra and Earl VanEgmond BREEZES FROM VANCOUVER, March 13, 1926. The last time we wrote was on Feb. 7th,which we referred to as a Spring month. Though we are not yet to mid-March, the Daffodils have been out in bloom in unprotected places for the last fortnight. Tulips, from. present prospects, will be out by Apr. 1st, at least two weeks in advance 'of a normal season, Some five weeks ago I put in my Sweet Pea seeds on north side of the house, simply covering them up .with about 4 -inch of fine sand and -inch of earth over that. They are just now "shooting" through the ground, If they are on a par with other Spring plants, they should bloom soon after June 1st, This time I wish to particularly mention two relevant features re- garding Vancouver the "Second Narrows Bridge" and "Grouse Mountain" Project. As to the former -*-the Bridge has ordinary railroad tracks, vehicular roadway way on either side and a side - alk for pedestrians for its full length. The central spans having been built at a "high-level" owing to marine navigation requirements, long, winding approaches to the bridge proper were, necessary in order to secure a low gradient. The north shore of Burrard Inlet isthus linked up in a- more concrete manner with Vancouver City (South Shore). It thus becomes the realiza- tion.of a dream entertained for many years by some of our men of vision, Its salutary effect on the North Shore is seen in a decided advance in realty values in that municipality —especially water -frontage and in- ttstrial site possibilities. Hitherto ur only means o1, travel, between hese two cities was` : the . ferry -boat Mich ran a 20 -minute schedule. ow,.in., foggy or clear`' weather, a urer, though more circuitous route, ill add an impetus to commercialnd industrial activities in coast carters. BARBARA KIRKMAN Y. W. A. The Barbera Kirkman Y. W. A. held their monthly, meeting in the school room of the Presbyterian Church on Tuesday evening. The president, Mrs. H. J Gibson occupied the chair, Mrs. F. W. Wigg offered the missionary prayer, the. Scripture lesson being read by Mrs, J. Cum- mings. The first part of the topic on prayer was taken by Miss M. Laidlaw. A duet by Mrs. M. R. Rennie and Mrs. B. Johnstone was During week -ends this structure has been a source of great attraction to the populace here, On several oc- casions, Sundays, for example, as many as two thousand automobiles and 100 00 ten thousand) ( pedestrians s crossed over the bridge, for which, of course, a toll is charged (5c return for foot -passengers and. 25c return for automobiles including passeng- ers). The Vancouver City Harbor Board Commission ' succeeded in quietly securing title to about one mile of water frontage property on North side. Here, elevators saw mills, factories, &c, will ' ultimately locate. The second question, "Grouse Mountain" scheme, will, it is con fid entlYexPsated give more "kick" to Vancouver and district . than any similar enterprise yet launched. This matteris in the hands of a local de- velopment company at present act- ually engaged in constructing an auto highway or roadway from the north end of the Second Narrows Bridge up to the top of Grouse Mountain, (from 3,500 to 4,000 . ( t high). ). The distance to the top of the g Mountain from the starting point will bd' some six miles and an average grade of about 7 per cent.,,will be maintained throughout. On the Plateau there will be erected a temporary hostel or inn containing 20 rooms which will ultimately be replaced by a more commodious hotel containing 200 rooms, Up to the present time, mountain resorts in Western, Canada are pat- ronized largely in summer only, but here in our very midst, we are soon to be favored with an intrepid rival of 'Banff (Alta.), and St. Moritz in Switzerland. As Grouse Ifountaain usually has many feet of snow cover- ing it and as an altitude of 3,600 feet coincides with a temperature 12 degrees colder than down at sea - level in the city, it is quite patent that it will be quite possible and feas- ible to develop winter sports includ- ing, skating, toboganning and ski- jumping, although there appears to be too mur'< timber for general cross-country yki-ing. In late f„11 or early winter, owing to warm air currents from off the Pacific coming into contact with the colder air over the land, we often have dense fogs which sometimes do not lift for several days. At such times, "hikers," ascending. Holly - n Riclge (3,100 ft.) or Grouse untain often see an impenetrable far below them while they them- es are baski..n in sunshine at the her altitude. Thus to an individ- with°bronchial weakness what a uine panacea for human ills—the ortunity simply, by .means of an is motor drive, to betake him- to the top of this ,famous bur much appreciated. At the close of the Mo husiness part of the meeting Miss fog McLean offered prayer. The second rely ',art of the paper was read by Miss his; Teen Eicoat. Current Events was Dal„ alcen by Mrs, S. Dorrance and the gen .lad Tidings prayer by. Miss Hab ' op 'rirlt. The meeting closed with thr, hou \fizpah benediction. self itl11t' lgit1t O'turl' POCKET WATCHES • at Special Prices We are showing a very fine line of pocket watches for men at very attractive prices.
