Theen r l op meeting r ;, o f f t u Liberal Women's Club held in the Council Charnber Tbu.i.:y sdaevening of last 6 week was wellattended and those. present enjoyed an excellent program•. At the close of the businessar 1' t of r the program, Mrs. D. Rae sang in her usual Pleasing manner, accompanied by Miss Ella Rae, The feature of the program was the paper which follow- ed, prepared and given by Miss Eliza- beth Dey and entitled "A Study of Liberalism as Applied to Canada. The romantic history of Canada was traced from the early French re- gime to the passing of the Constitu- tional Act in 1791 and the subsequent period of political strife which result- ed in the formation of the two great political parties. The Liberals of' Can- ada found their models in the Liber- alism of England, in the men who had fought the battles of orderly free-. dom and repsonsible self-government against privileged and selfish inter- ests. ' The life of a. Liberal is one of unceasing effort towards progress and development of mankind. Miss Dey quoted that great statesman and Lib- eral, Sir Wilfred Laurier and traced ` his long and colorful political careen She urged her listeners to a staunch support of their present able leader and true •Liberalism. Miss Sara MacLean sang two de- lightful numbers and these were fol- lowed by a short ,address by Mr. R. S. Hetherington. Mr. Hetherington spoke briefly but in a very clear- sighted manner on the Italo-Ethiop- ian'situation, with its far-reaching ef- fects on European politics, and sub- sequently American and Canadian re- actions. Mr. Hetherington read a message which came by wire from Mr.' Deach- man, in which he expressed his re- gret in having to missthe meeting. The singing of the National Anth- em brought the meeting to a close. To the Boy Friend—How about ,a nice Walnut Chest for her Gift? W'e have some lovely chests at right pric- es. A. J. Walker.
