A modern maker of -phrases has said that the sweetest words in the English language are ‘‘Enclosed please find cheque.’’ ‘‘Make it read accepted cheque,’ ’* says the prud- ent business man ‘‘and I’! subscribe to the statement.’”’ Butas a mat- ter, it seems, we cannot be too certain’ about even accepted cheques. In Calgary the other day a case came before Mr. Justice Beck which opens a field for some speculation. A junior in one of the banks was in- terested in some way or other in the business of a: real estate agent. The latter was given a cheque. by a Chinaman. .The:.Jatter had | oc- casion to stop the paymert of this.

The cheque was'drawn on’ the ‘bank |»: in which his business associate was |’ employed. After. a lapse of a; con-|

sideruble period, the young banker asked for the Chinaman’s paper, stating that he thovght he. could realize on it. He went to the bank, secured the stamp’ used for the purpose and marked it ‘“‘ac

crement.” ‘Jf we are to tax people according to their ability to pay, such measure’ is only simple justice. The Duke of Norfolk has a rent roll of $1,250,000. a year. His London estate in Norfolk street, Surrey street and Arundel treet, Strand;-was erected on the site of his ancestor’s town house by speculative.builders after the great fire of 1666. The original leases expired ineighty years, but those houses were still standing in 1887. In 1890 it was admitted that some of the_ property had increased in value 500 per cent. since 1855, The property has nearly trebled in value since the making of | the Thames embankment. -

With socialism which proposes to reduce men to a dead level and stifle individual effort, we have no sympathy. But we have every sympathy with a movement which places the burden of taxation on those best able to bear it and which

For a certain reason, which does not bearonthe point at issue, the former clerk was not prosecu‘ed, but the bank. in whose name the cheque was accepted, was sued. The court held, however, that tke clerk having no, authority to make the acceptance and doing so for a wrongful purpose; it was not: Ijable. The: plaintiff claimed that it was liable in. that__it. did_ not. exercise due care in.. guarding against its stamp’s being used in the way it was,

The case of young Anderson, the Toronto clerk, who was arrested this week at Vancouver, has simi- lar bearings, except that when he left the bank’s employ, he had an “accepted”? stamp manufactured for his purposes. He operated in Paris. San Francisco, Chicago, Omaha, Boston and other cities and towns of America and Europe, cleaning up jarge amounts. ‘

No one would contend that An- derson’s former employers should be responsible for the large sums which he secured and, when, anal- yzed, the case in Calgary is on practically ‘¢he same basis. In both instances it was forgery, pure and simple, that was practised. But how is the public to be pro- tected? Willa man have to tele- phone toa bank every time he is given an accepted cheque to make sure that it is all right. Suppose that the official who hus the auth- ority to accept cheques (possibly the manager) was crooked and did what the junior did at Calgary. The person cashing the accepted cheque might telephone to the bank and be told that the paper was all right. That night the official, who accepted the cheque, leaves town. The cheque was marked “accepted” for an improper pur-

responsible? A few more such cases and there will be no cashing of cheques whatever, except at the bank on which they are drawn, whch would mean the disappearance of the system of ‘‘accepting’’ them altogether.

The Canadian Union of Municip- alities is holding its annual meeting in Medicine Hat this week. As the delegates are all men engaged in the actual work of municipal gov- ernment, and municipal government at few points in the Doininion is a thing to be proud of, few will ex- pect any very Jarge additions to the general stock of wisdom on the subjects under discussion. What we need most of all is the drafting ofa class of men into municipal life more representative of the busi- ness acumen: and general intelli- gence of their verious communities.

Those who are capable. of giving good service should be brought to’a sense of their responsibility, sunt electors at large shoul be ih e to see the folly of voting for a man,

‘because he.is a ‘good fellow. ‘or ‘be-

cause he does you the honor. of kiss- ing-your~ baby~-and~-enquiring’ for your wife, incidentally asking for your support, during the period pre- vious to polling day. A general educational movement, looking to the improvement of municipal. con- ditions, is required.

But in so far as these conventions stimulate an interest in the study of problems of civic government and in giving those who attend thema broader grasp of their duties, they are an advantage. At the conven- tion at Medicine Hat are many men, who have brought the proper quali- fications to their work and who have done'a great deal towards showing how things may be done in the proper way. Among these is the secretary of the organization, Mr. Lighthall of Montreal.

In his presidential address Con- troller Ward of Toronto referred to the valuable work of the Union in the past in safeguarding the rights of municipalities against the en- croachments of corporations whose obvious office it is to invade the public rights. Cities of the west should profit by the experience of the east and vigorously oppose the granting of franchises such as gas, water, electric light, street railways to private bodies, Public owner- ship had met with splendid success in England and many American cities. It was an easy matter for western cities to avoid the evils with which old established cities had now to contend.

Ashas been cuntended on this page over and over again, municipal ownership is neither good nor bad, purely asatheory. Itis all right, provided that we have the proper men to manage our utilities, whom we can depend upon to see that good business principles are followed. Otherwise every extension along these lines means so much economic waste. The shareholders of a well- managed corporation see to it that men are elected to the board of dir- ectors in whose ability and integrity they have confidence and the direc- tors see to it on tteir part that the details of the work of the organiza- tion is in the hands of men of skill and experience in their various lines, According as these methods are fol- lowed or not, the corporation re- ceives much or little return to the

money which it has invested.! Any- one with a: grain of ‘common-sense can see this. Why should .it be- different with a municipality? But as all know, we very seldom, select our councillors on-this principle and when they get into office, they us-

they returned but they did not dare to revive the old police conditions. A.-few weeks ago, however, the mayor, for reasons which are said to have a bearing on the civic elections which take place this autumn, dis- missed ‘the man, who. for a consider-

ually muddle things up to an-extent|able period has ‘‘kept the Jid on.”’

which would spell ruin to vate concern. . "

The city, where this convention is |i

being held, is affording a rather val- uable municipal object lesson at The Medicine Hat

club stands the

present, professional baseball at the head of Canada league. It the team is a better one and; therefore a more expensive one, than can be supported by ordinary gate receipts, added to the subscriptions of buseball enthusiasts. Now the latter propose that the city council should grant the club $1000 to help it finish the season. There isa point or so that the council should consi- der before it comes down with the vote of this money. Are the road- ways of the city in perfect condi- tion? Are the various utilities which the municipality controls such that no complaints are heard respec- ting them. Is the civic debt so small that no tax payer has even suggested that it would be well. if it were lessened? If there is no room for improvement in these mat- ters in which every citizen is inter- ested, the council might be justified in making the grant to the baseball club, But to divert money from the fundamental objects of munici- pal organization to help amuse a certain number of citizens looks like the height of folly. It may be all right to encourage professional baseball, but those who wish {it should pay for it. Itis unfair and unreasonable to divert the money paid into the city treasury by_ those who are not admirers of the game in order that those who are may see a better class of baseball played than the stage of the city’s develop- ment evidently warrants.

While on municipal topics, it is well worth while calling attention to certain developments which have taken place in two widely-separated sections of the American Union. No one needs to be told how important a place in municipal government, the question of police administration holds. In large and growing cities it is particularly vital. For many years, the New York force wasa dis- grace to civilization. Buta change came. The Tammany forces were swept from power. Two years later

seems that)

Hie.action was responsible for the following striking editorial article in the New York Sun:

“Kight years ago the people of this'tuwn, unmindful of party al- legiance or personal consideration, rose in revolt, not against a party but system, That revolt was founded upon an administration of

the Police’’ Department which had transformed an agency for the pro- tection ‘of society into an engine for the propagation of profitable vice. The record written ut that time was neither transient nor temporary; it set forth beyond peradventure the plain statement of certain things which the people of New York would not abide. would not then or ever endure.

“'To those vhu passed along the streets in several quarters of the city on Thursday night there were potent signs and evidences that were unmis- takeable. There was a_ rejoicing thit sent its own foul breath up from the depths. It wasnot merely the célebratiun of the passing of an hon- est man whose mistakes were his own and manifold, but whose public virtues were the menace of all this underworld, It wasno pussing wave of joy called forth by the dejection of an enemy. It was the celebration of a date openly accepted as mark- ing the return to conditions and to conduct of the Police Department which have’ not existed during nine long years.

“It matters but little who is Pol- ice Commissioner of this town. It isofno great public consequence whether his personality awakens popularity or provokes censure. Not even the manner of his taking off can Jong concern a busy popula- tion. What does cyncern this popu- lation, however, is the question of whether the Police Commissioner so administers hig difficult office and is permitted by his superiors so to con- duct his office that the essential de- cencies us well as the neessary pro- tection shall’ be assured to them. This and this alone is the public as- pect of present and all police crises.

‘The people of the city are satis- fied that Theodore A. Bingham was removed for political reasons. The vicious, the criminal and the unclean elements of the city population have accepted the removal as the pro- clamation not merely of pardon but of permission--of license to return to'a)] the older and hateful: con- ditions. They have already begun to act upon this assumption. The same suspicion is manifest among the mass of respectable citizens. Both may be wrong. If they are, a regrettable incident may be closed without ultimate political conse- quences. If they are not, it is out of such stuff political campaigns and popular uprisings spring to success.”

A town or city does not need to be the size of New York to realize how essential a policy of rigid effici- ency and honesty in police depart- ment is and how necessary it is for the citizens to be always on the alert in insisting upon it.

Down in Texas there is a city without taxes. Yet it has three free schools, 2 water system without any rates. a public dock, a library that is free without being a Carn- egie foundation and a_ telephone system with absolutely no charges within the county except the initial cost of installation. Why this happy condition exists is explained by Franklin Clark in the current number of Success Magazine and his advice is ‘‘Catch your city young and guard it from exploitation.”

Some fourteen years ago three or four Towans settled on a_ sandy beach in Texas for the purpose of creating a city free from taxation. The community steadily grew and a legal corporation was formed on progressive lines, including the right of initiative and the referen- dum, in order that public opinion might always be effective. The city itself owns the land and it is leased to individuals for ninety-nine years. All that is exacted is the yearly ground rent and $50 down for installing a telephone if one wanted,

Fairhope, after paying the state and county taxes and the cost of ad- ministration and improvements, has been enabled to establish its free public services out of the surplus revenue derived from its ground rents. There is thus nothing ex- traordinary about the finances. It has simply retained the ownership of its land and dealt with it as any prudent private owner would have done. Over in London, England, a few noblemen are drawing millions annually from sites within the city and their incomes increase as the leases expire. At Fairhope the community will get the benefit. That is the difference.

It is surprising and gratifving to find that there is a mun‘cipality which has had the foresight to se- cure to the body of the people some of the advantages of its own growth. The city of Regina: has shown what is to be gained by the city’s possessing a considerable amount of land within its “own limits, when. rapid growth begins. This was a pure accident. Why should it not point the way to a settled policy? Why should the private speculator have the full

Personally he is the most likeable of men and when he entered the field it was recognized that he would be a very strong candidate, It is a. pity, though, that his election in- volves the absence from the next.

The Red Deer News expresses its cordial agreement with the stand which the Saturday News has taken on the agricultural college questfon,

It wants the government to put the college where it will do the farming community the most good, irrespective of plum hunters. The breadth of view which it displays does it the greatest credit. Its atti- tude stands jn sharp contradistinc- tion to that of the twenty or thirty other newspapers whose sole inter- est in the question arises out of the possibility that they will acquire the institution for their respective com- munities. —

“A Well-Wisher”’ writes: ‘‘Wet- askiwin, I think, should not be left out in the cold in considering a suit- able location for the proposed Al- berta Agricutlural College. It is the most important town on the GC, and E. branch of the C.P.R, between Calgary and Strathcona and is the commercial centre of a district com- prising millions of acres of rich farming, grazing, timber and coal lands, making it an ideal place for the erection of an Agricultural Col- lege. Besides these advantayes this young and ambitious city possesses railway facilities equal to any city in Alberta, which will mean a fot to the students and others who patronize the college,”

Much sympathy will be extended the settlers on the border line of Alberta, eight miles south of Lloydminster, who were the victims of a most unusual storm last week, which wrecked their homes and barns. Fortunately occurrences of this kind. are very rare in this part of the world.

Dr. J. W. Robertson, president of Macdonald College near Mon- treal, the great institution founded through the generosity of Sir Wil- liam C. Macdonald. in the interests of scientific agriculture, did good public service. by .the addresses which he delivered last week be- fore the Canadian Clubs of Edmon- ton and Calgaty and it is satisfac: tory to note that they have been given. wide publicity to. The pity is that they were not deliv- ered directly to audiences of farm- ers.

The editor of the Nelsun News is clearly entitled toa Carnegie medal, that described by the epithet “moral” being the kind of courage that is his long suit.: With suffra- gettes all about him, he published this note the other day at the head of his editorial column:

“The suffragettes continue to raise disturbances even in_ Jail. How would it do ta revive the old punishment for common scolds, ducking, only that it should. be practised where the water was good and deep and from a good fast boat some distance from land. The only danger would be that some of the amiable creatures might be able to swim.”

I am_ anxiously scanning the newspapers each day to see what happens to the fearless one. It would be surprising if a party of husky advocates of the suffrage for women didn’t grab him some night on his way home from the club and give hima taste in the placid waters of Kootenay’s West Arm of his own prescription.

A colored man complained to the storekeeper that « ham which he had_ purchased there was no good.

‘The ham is all right, Zeph,’’ insisted the storekeeper.

‘No, it ain’t, boss,” insisted the negro. ‘Dat ham’s shore bad.”’

*‘How can that be,’’ continued the storekeeper, ‘‘when it was cured only last week?’’

The colored man scratched his head reflectively, and finally sug- gested:

‘‘Well, sah, then it must have had a relapse.”’

‘Is this the balcony from which you see the eclipse?”’

‘Yes, madame. But you are too late.”’

The report that has been going the rounds in the. city that Mr. George White ot the News force made a flying trip to New York last Sunday is a mistake. He got off his train at Guysie. :

A kind old: gentleman, esrcing a very small boy carrying a lot of newspapers under his arm. was moved to pity. ys

_“‘Don’t all those papers make you tired, my boy?”’

“Nove,” the small boy cheerfully replied, ‘‘I don’t read’’em.”’

A small boy, about five years old, was taken to an entertainment by his mother the other evening. It was 10.80 o’clock when they reached home,, and the little fellow was very tired und sleepy. He un- dressed quickly and hopped into bed. “George,” asid his mamma, ‘‘I'm surprised at you,’’ ‘‘Why, mam- ma?”’ he asked. ‘‘You didn’t say your prayers. Get right out of that bed and say them.’”’ ‘‘Aw, mamma,” came from the tired voungster, ‘‘What’s the use of wakin’ the Lord up at this time of night to hear me pray?”

The beautiful tpyewriter gir] puffed out her golden pompadour nervously.

Mr. Wellington, the extensive real estate operator and speculator at large, frowned. The girl had taken his dictation slowly. And inastern, sceptical voice, he said : ‘‘How so?”

“It’s your new vocabulary. that puts me out,’’ she explained 2ys''l had Mr. Meer’s vocabulary very’ pat —‘as per,’ ‘contents notéd,’ ‘the same’-—he only used about 300 words.

Her flattering smile warmed the man like a sunbeam.

“But you, sir, have a real literary style. ‘Beg to submit,’ ‘our best at- tention,’ ‘slump,’ ‘bullish,’ ‘hypo- thecate’—they’re all new words to me. and, of course, [ can’t rattle them off very fast at first. But just you wait. Say till day after to-mor- row. Then you'll see.”’

‘All business men have different vocabularies that their etenograph- ers tnust get accustomed to, eh?” said the real estate man.

In a special number of the Lind- say Warder, issued a short time ago, there appeared an interesting article written by a Lindsay old boy. Mr. W. M. O’Beirne of the Stratford Beacon. Hespent his bovhood in Lindsay, and recalls the warm discus- sions that tuok place at the time of the American war.

“The assassination of President Lincoln,”’ he says, ‘‘was marked in Lindsay by a half holiday on the day of his funeral, a volley from two small cannon owned by Lieut. Rod- den, aretired British naval officer, and the closing of the stores. Sev- eral of the larger boys had enlisted as drummers in the Northern army, and a day that lingersin the mem- ory of the writer was one spent—a la Tom Sawyer —in hoeing a field of potatoes for a boy who had returned from the war, for the privilege of hearing him tell of his adventures.”’

Some of the men who bore a hand in the building of railways in the Lindsay district have since won much prominence. In the building of the Victoria Railway Mr. O’Beirne tells us that Mr. James Ross was the en- gincet in charge. ‘‘Mr. William

ackenzie left a general store in Kirkfield,’’ he says, ‘‘to build the station on the line, and Mr. D. D ann wasachampion river driver at Fenelon Falls. They all after- wards drifted to the Northwest with r. Ross, who became superinten- dent of construction of the C. P.

According to the Ottawa Free Pree the new judge is a son of the late Robert Lees, who for many years was Crown Attorney there. Twenty-four years ago he began his practise of Jaw with his ather, entering the legal firm of Lees and Gemmell. After his father’s death he was acting Crown Attorney for one year. Mr. Bel- court was then appointed to the posi tion and Mr. Lees opened an office in the Robert Allan building, Rideau street, where he practised by him- self for several years. Then he formed a partnership with Mr. Louis J. Kehoe, which was dissolved ina short time, and subsequently, with Mr. Hall, now of Cobalt. Six years ago Mr. Lees removed to the West and Jocated at Fort Saskatche- wan. Shortly after his arrival he was appointed District Crown At- Guvern- ment, and shortly aferwards was made a K.C. He is 60 vears of age, says the Free Presa, though few people who know him will he. lieve it.

AN ALLEGED KING-PIN WESTERNER

I have just finished reading Elinor Glyn’s ‘‘Klizabeth visits America,” What an utter weariness the book is! To such pitifully weak and un- convincing ends does the effort to supply ‘“‘the something different, smart and breezy society novel’, bring what could be a very clever pen.

Iam quite free to confess it. I DID smile a smile or two over the “Visits of Elizabeth,’’ but then Eli- zabeth was young and hoydenish, now isshe grown cheaply wicked, superlatively conceited and compla- cent, and perhaps worst of all, ex- ceedingly tiresome. ; : Iam not finding fault with this loose-moralled syoung wife on the grounds of her ‘‘playing’’ with ev- erything in the shape of man she can lay her hands on. That is their and her business, and as we are all well aware, is not by any manner of means confined to Elizabeth and her peculiar set, but I do take ex- ception to the utter rot that not only she but a great many cther women, and men as well, are writing about Western men, and Western conditions.

To be sure the particular com- bination of Willie Boy and Blood and Thunder Dick held up as a sample of the finest character of a man she has ever known, and which is personified in Nelson Renour, a young Western mine owner and erstwhile cattle puncher and_ so forth, is really an American Wes- terner. The fact remains that con- ditions in the States and Canada and men as well, in the West gen- erally, are much the same, andsthey are not—glory be—as Elinor Glyn and others of her kindred have painted them.

“set on’? by hostile Indians, for goodness yracious any old cas- trophe might have happened ‘out West”’ ‘‘don’t you know!’

1 believe many of the Interna- tional Council delegates took the trip, with their hearts in their mouths, and extra long hat-pins in their bonnets.

Others who had a little wiser conception of what was what, were eagerly looking out for $6000 autos outside of half-penny, two- yenny shacks, or newsboys in mink- ined coats, or anxious to have the old barns of warehouses pointed out where we kept half a million dollars worth of furs without taking the precaution to turn the key. With such interesting lies do these fanci- ful fictionists regale the reading public.

Out West, and more particularly up North, the stamping ground of the Ananiases, quiet men sit back and laugh softly as they see them- selves, as the readers have been made see them.

Let us turn again to Elinor Glyn’s book which very well illus. trates my point. Glance at this description of Nelson.

‘It was so hot he had no coat on, only his flannel shirt and his trousers tucked into his long boots, and he

rim gun stuck in his belt. He voked extremely attractive with that felt hat slouched over his eyes. He seemed to be gazing into distance as if alone and then after a while he turned and looked at me, and his eyes were full of pain like a tortured animal, and 1 felt a wrench at my heart. Then he clasped his hands tight together as though he was afraid he should take mine, and he said the dearest things a man could say to a woman. How the stress of the situation last night had forced from him an avowal of his love for me, ‘I never meant to tell you, my sweet lady,’ he said. ‘! am no weakling, I hope, to go snivelling over what is not for me, and when I comprehended you were married | just faced up the situation and vowed I’d be a strong man.’ He

@WEN Meredith, the pen name of the first Ear! of. Lytton, says, ‘‘There is nothing certain in man’s life but this, that he must lose it.’’ And it is this very uncertainty of life for each individual, coupled with the fact that the death rate of assured lives is known in advance, which constitutes at once the necessity and the basis of life insurance, by means of which a man may secure to his dependents something of the value he would earn for them if he lived. Life assurance differs from every other investment in

their face this threefold lesson.

lst. No man, with dependents and without an ample fortune, can afford. to be without assurance. If not insured his family. carries the risk.

2nd.If you have any need for in- surance, “and have good health, the only safe course is to insure at once. Next week may be too late.

A lot of people are going about complaining about the heat, whereas it is really very seasonable weather and just what is wanted. unless we have hail. As to how we stand hot weather so much depends upon our- selves, for those who fret and fume work themselves up several degrees in temperature and then worry their neighbors up too. This is the kind of weather that proves tempera- ment and philosophy; It also shows up those who eat too much or drink whisky, for a moderate eater and drinker seldom suffers very acutely. Though it may be warm here itisa moderate warmth and cool at night, and we all want the grain to ripen so that business will expand.

There is another thing Iam going to find fault within this city and that is the cleaning of sidewalks after the orthodox hours. On vur main business streets sidewalks should at least, in fine summer weather, be all cleaned before 8 a.m., that is if people arose in the best part of the day. When you do.down to business after 8a.m., or before 9 a.m., it is not the time for people to be sweeping clouds of dust in your face, laden possibly with dis- ease germs or what not.

“The dire warnings which Socrates professed to have received from the demon that attended him are thus made parts of malarial diagnosis. The steady disintegration of the fiber of the youth of Athens, alluded toinsome of the plays of Aristo- phanes, is a phenomenon quite explicable in view of what we know of the effects of malaria now-a- days.

She thanked him prettily, and said she thought that it was splendid

To have the chance to see a game and to be so well attended;

And when he carefully set forth the pitcher’s plan and aim,

She thanked him once again, and said that she was glad she came,

He showed her why the man was out, and showed her how a fly

When caught before it struck the ground would make him out, and why.

He did not give her any chance to ask a single question;

out the least suggestion, . - With finger pointed at the men he showed. how it was done; Showed how the coacher signaled to the men to stay or run; And while with cheers the very air above the field was jarred, He showed her how to mark the run upon the little card.

She smiled a gentle smile, und said sne wished she had his know-

edge, : That she had tried to play the game one year at Smassar college— He grinned in pity, then he told in ‘measured terms and slow, - The inner motives of the game as then and there on show.

Then came the ninth; the score was tied; two out, the bases full, And every rooter in the stand ex-

A long clean cut hit to centre—and a tumult on the bleachers,

With men in wildest voices shouting like to crazy creatures—

In accents that you could have heard I’m sure for half a mile!

The success of our team has been the sensation of the Bisley season. After annexing the two big team trophies, the Kol- apore and the McKinnon, one of our men, Sergt. Blackburn of Winnipeg, who, by the way, was not of those selected, but who paid his own way over, won the Prince of Wales, while in the shooting for the King’s Prize several of our men _ were beaten out by only the smallest margins. Lieut. Morris of Bowm- anville was in third place and Corp. McInnis of Edmonton in ‘fourth. The great trophy, won by Lance Corporal Burr of the London Rifle brigade, appeared to be in McInnis’s grasp, till the final stage at 1000 yards when he fell off badly. At 900 yards his score was 46, but four off possible. It was reasonable to hope that at the final distance he would keep this up. Each year’s ex- perience, is, however. helping him. He should have many Bisley meets yet ahead of him and one of these summers we shall hold the celebra- tion in honor of Corp. McInnis, G.M., that we have been promising ourselves. In any case his work is such that his fellow citizens have reason to be very proud of.

The games for the People’s Shield, to be held in Calgary on Aug. 26, 27 and 28, are being looked forward to with much interest. Efforts are being made to secure Victoria Park for the occasion. ‘Ihe occasion of the opening of the games will be |made a big event. Lieut-Governor Bulyea, Premier Rutherford, other members of the cabinet, and the local civic officials will be invited to attend. Itis also decided to take photographs of the games and teams and send them to various papers throughout the world. Quebec (has sent word of its intention to send a team to represent the province. It will likely be the C.P.R, team of Montreal. British Columbia and Saskatchewan teams have also en- tered. It is hoped also that Ontario will be able to send a team to repre- sent that province at the competi- tion.

All the cricketers of Alberta are notin Edmonton and Calgary. J. F. Hings of Lethbridge put on the first century of the season in the pro- ivince against Okotoks last week, scoring 102, not out.

The following members of E.C.C. were invited to participate in the tour organized by the Calgary C.C. through British Columbia: G. P. Bertenrhaw, A. H. Dickins, C. Y. Weaver, WL. Reid.

Definite word having been re- ceive d in the East that the Austral- ians will return home by way of Canada and would like to arrange matches here, Alberta cricketers are taking steps to get into touch with those having the arrangements in charge. A match at Calgary be- tween the Antipndeans and an Al- berta eleven would unquestionably be a paying venture and would do a great deal to stimulate interest in the game.

At time of writing it looks as if the fourth test match would be a draw. Rain interfered to « consid- erable extent. Australia made 147 runs to England’s 119 in the first innings. In the second the colonials put on 27 for nine wicketsjwhen the innings was declared closed. Eng- land, according to the latest intel- ligence, had 85 runs for no wickets.

A project is on foot to take a Can- adian cricket eleven to England next year. I understand that Cobbett ‘of Victoria, recognized as the best all- round cricketer at the coast, who is ason of Dr. Cobbett of Edmonton, has been invited to take part in the tour. Those in charge should not lose sight of Alberta.

The situation in the Western Can- ada baseball league is practically unchanged from last week, the teams standing in the same relative _ posi- tion, Edmonton, with Grady in. the box, surprised everyone on Monday by defeating Medicine Hat by 2—0. But this is the only victory the men from the Alberta capital have to their credit since the Saturday News. went to press last.

“At the Second street grounds on Wednesday evening tne Scotch and Irish football; teams | met friendly contest for the benefit of Henley the injured player of one of the league teams. The game started rather slowly but warmed up as it went along though matters seemed fairly even. Towards the end of the first half the Irishmen put the ball. between the Scotch goal posts twice but. both goals. were disallowed. In the second haif the Scotch secured one goal, but, soon after one Irish player was injured so the green boys had to finish with ten men. and, despite tneefforts of the Scotties, they prevented any further score being made. The feeling of the crowd seemed to be that the re- feree had an inciination to lean to- wards favoring the Scottiez. How- ever this may be the Irish boys did not have any the best of the decisions and had rather an up-hill row to hoe, yet played a very clean game, not showing any decided inclination to use their hands which stvle of play sometimes: mars the play of two or three members onthe Scot- tish team, The Norwood goal keeper played for the Irish team and he is easily the best goal-keeper

The carpenter’s strike, which threatened to ‘‘put the kibosh’’ on Edmonton's total building “permits for the year has been settled after a duration of two months. The agreement reached maintains open shop until May 1 next, when a scale of wages will go into effect which ‘will give a minimum rate of $3.50 per day, or 25 cents less tnan the rate $3.75, which the carpenters demanded. Closed shop will also come into effect on that date. The $3.50 rate will maintain for’ one year. when another increase to $3.60 will go into effect.

While many projects have been

postponed owing to the uncertainty in the labor situation, at least. three good building months are ahead yet and these should make up for the first part of the season. For June the total kept up surprisingly well, reaching $201,790 as compared with $97,645 in the same month in 1908. That July will show a_ satis- factory comparison as well is likely in view of the fact that the $150,000 apartment house, the Arl- ington, at the corner of Victoria and Sixth, opposite the Land Office, has been commenced. The plans show a splendid five-storey struc- ture. It will contain 58 suites of from three ‘tu six rooms each. The rents will range from $30 to $60 per month. Operations on the building were commenced two days after the purchase of the Jand. It will take the place of that which was projected on Mackay Avenue. __ The outside work on the McLean building at the corner of Seventh and Jasper has been completed and the fourth story of the Kelly build- ing a block’ and a half east: has been reached:

i Railway news hasn't been so brisk for three years back as at pre- sent. When Mr. D’Arcy Tate, sol- icitor for the G.T.P. waited on the Edmonton council with a view to

through the railway’s yards closed, he put it to the aldermen flatly that unless

having the road.allowance that goes they gave their consent, the G.T.P. shops would have to be moved. Of course, Edmonton paid fairly. well for the privilege of having these shops but no one wants that agree- ment disturbed. The councillors can hardly be blamed, therefore, for gracefully yielding. I cannot see that it makes a great difference, in any case, in view of the fact that the streets are all blocked further south by the C.N.R. yards. If the road allowance were kept open, it would be necessary to go around either to First or Sixteenth street before reaching the central part of the city.

The Winnipeg Free Press states that the G.T.P. officials there have announced that the contract has

a

A. PILKIE -

been awarded for a.G.T,P. line from Tofield to Calgary. Rumors that this was the intention having been afloat for some time, the citizens of Wainwright, where the Calgary lire was supposed to start, have been making strong protests. Looking at the matter from the standpoint of Wainwright, also from that of the need of opening up rew country, their outcry is reasonable, But what the G.T.P. wants 1s as direct a line between Calgary and Edmon- ton as possible. In view of the pro- fitableness of the traffic between the two cities, this is hardly surpris- ing.

A dispatch from Toronto says that the C.N.R. has obtained running rights over the C.P.R. main line from Sudbury to Port Arthur, which will give a through service from Edmonton to Ontario. If this is correct, it is the ‘most important railway announcement for this ‘city that has been made in some time.

Mr. W. R. Clarke, the promoter of the Alberta and Great Water- ways railway, is expected in’ Ed-

monton in about two weeks, when something definite regarding that company’s plans for the coming year should be available.

The inspection of the 101st regi- ment which has been going on all week has attracted large crowds of spectators. The results of a. hard season’s work are.: evident and it is doubtful if ever in the military his- tory of the country {a newly-organ- ized corps attained such efficiency in so short a time.

Many names are being mentioned as possibilities for the Liberal nomi- nation in Strathcona. Mr. George P. Smith M.P.P. of Camrose and Mr, A. S. Rosenroll ex-M.P.P, of Weta- skiwin are said to be decided possi- bilities, though it is not likely that the Liberals of the city of Strath- cona will be without their candidate.

“Honk! Honk! Honk!” grunted the horn, as the red automobile tore along the crowded street dan- gerously near the speed limit. A policeman noted the number of the machine, made a movement as if to mount his bicycle but, catch- ing sight of a very pretty girl seated beside the driver, he evi- dently changed his mind; for he turned his back upon the fast-dis- appearing car and interested him- self in the traffic coming in the opposite direction.

“Honk! honk! hand!” The hoarse cry resounded at each crossing and the girl fidgeted.

“T do wish, Archie,” she said, ir- ritably, “that you had a bell in- stead of that horrid horn, It simp-

‘lly scares people out of their wits

and—Oh, look out! Did you see that old woman?”

The machine ran along easily, winding in and out) among the carriages and drays, halting for a moment and: then speeding ahead of the more unwieldy ve- hicles. The girl chattered on, complaining frequently of the horn; but as they reached Fifty- Ninth Street and entered the Park she settled back on the comfort- able cushions with a sigh of re- lief,

“Thank goodness!” she ex- claimed heartily. “We're here at last. I suppose that now you can answer when you're spoken to? I don’t know any better fun than this except for that horn. Why do they have horns, Archie?”.

“To make a noise,” he answer- ed with a laugh.

“Well, they succeed—for of all the unpleasant, disagreeable, nerve-racking sounds—”

“Helen,” interrupted her com- panion, paying no heed to her fault-finding., “I have much news —it’s an engagement!”

“Oh,” answered Helen disdain- fully, “You mean Caroline How- ard and Al Cousins. ‘That’s old.”

“Yes, I know—but that doesn’t happen to be the one,” he answer- ed with irritating calm.

Helen thought a moment. “You don’t mean Marion Ellis?” she questioned indifferently,

“No, that won’t ever come to anything.” Archie glanced at the girl beside him out of the corner of his eye. He knew what that show of indifference amounted to

“Well, then, tell me who it is?” she asked, trying to conceal her eagerness,

“Guess,” said Archie.

“T have known you ever since we were children,” Helen began severely, “and in all that time—!”

“Ages and ages,” he interrupt- ede facctiously.

“And in all that time,” she went on without noticing him, “I have never known you to give a satis- factory answer to—”

“Toot! toot! toot !” sounded harshly and straightened in her seat.

“Why,” she demanded, “did you do that?) ‘here isn’t even a chicken within a hundred yards of us.”

“My dear Helen, I was afraid you were about to say something you would be sorry for,” he an- swered gravely,

one ‘ . . .

The girl leaned back, disdaining to reply. Then after a few mo- ments of silence, “I don’t think there was any engagement.”

“Harry Pelham!" he announced

“You don't mean it!’ Helen gasped, “To that pink and white Curtis girl?”

Archie nodded.

“T can't believe it. you?” she demanded.

“Harry himself. 1 knew it a week ago, but, of course, I wasn’t expected to mention it. It will be announced to-night, however, so I am only anticipating by a few hours.”

Helen gave a huge sigh, “I cannot see for the life of me what there is about Florence Curtis to attract even Harry Pelham.”

She said this speculatively and without malice. ‘Humph!” ejac- ulated Archie. “She’s a mighty pretty girl, and he’s lucky !”

“Pretty!” said Helen with con- centrated scorn. “Pretty—yes, like a wax doll, and with just as much brains.”

“Oh, come, Helen, to hear you one would think you had a hank- ering for Harry Pelham yourself. She's all right, and to my way of thinking, very handsome. What does a fellow care for a few brains more or less, so long as his wife is good to look at?”

“Do you mean to say,” Helen burst out, “that all you care about is just prettiness, even if the girl hasn't brains enough to buy her

horn girl

the the

Who told

own clothes? I don’t believe it. Good looks are very well but you needn't tell me that that is all you demand in a girl. You never seem- ed to haunt Florence Curtis very much,”

“Never had a chance,” he re- plied.

“You could have made a chance if you had wanted it. ‘Trust you to have your own way—Don't you think we'd better turn?”

Archie halted the automobile and headed back to the city.

“All the same,” he persisted when they were well started on the homeward trip. - “Pelham’s lucky!”

“T grant it,” said his companion spitefully.

“He's lucky,” Archie went on, “any way you look at it.. A man cares more for beauty in a woman than he does for brains any time. That’s an axiom!”

They continued arguing and Helen, had she noticed, would have found that Archie could talk and drive his machine even on Fifth avenue were he so minded. Skillfully he guided the auto to the curb in front of Helen’s house and delivered himself of his final verdict while the girl sat and lis tened.,

“It’s all very well to talk about a girl’s brains and I grant’ you that if she has them, so much the better, but a fellow thinks first about her looks. Don’t you real- ize that he has to sit opposite her at innumerable breakfasts?”

Helen remained considering the point while he stood beside her on the pavement ready to help her out. After a moment she arose. stepped down — gracefuliy and started up the steps of the house “Come along in and I’ll give you a glass of sherry and a biscuit in return for the ride, which I enjoy- ed in spite of your silly talk.”

“And the horn,” he added, as he followed her.

“There isn’t much -difference,” she laughed,

Periectly at home, Archie se- lected the most comfortable chair in the room while Helen slowly removed her gloves. A servant came in noiselessly and handed her a letter.

“It’s from Edith,” she — said, glancing at the address on the en- velope. ‘“Iixcuse me, Archie, I must see what she has to say.”

With deft fingers she opened the note and after a moment turn- ed to her companion.

“Here is what another girl thinks. Listen,” and she read the Ictter as follows: A

“Dearest Helen —I can’t wait to tell you the news. Harry Pel- ham and Florence Curtis are en- gaged!!! I always thought he had some common sense but hea- vens, he can’t have, to like that pink and white doll. My dear, £ hegin to feel the necessity of cul- tivating a taste for charitable work, I won’t be an old maid, and if this engagement is an in- dication of the ideals of the aver- ave man (and it seems to be), I see nothing ahead but an early re- tirement into a sisterhood. Brains wid a brown skin, taken together, are aitogether too great a hand cap. I shall look about for a nun- nery where they wear becoming costumes and then perhaps yot may be persuaded to join me. In- deed, while I hate to discourage, a little thought will show you that your head is not empty cnough, hor your general style sufficiently patterned after the lovely ladies in the hairdressers’ windows for you to expect to make a winning in the matrimonial race. So let tis retire voluntarily before we are publicly humiliated. My poignant appreciation of the situation is en- hanced by the pleasing fact that Madam Sash has made Mildred Riddle a frock exactly like mine, and she, being another pink and white idiot, looks much better in it than I doin mine. lam gnash- ing my teeth, I hope you are bearing tp under all your afflic tions better than I.

Devotedly, “EDITH.”

“P.S—How about a_ college settlement? They seem to be the last resort for the Matrimonial Stakes.”

“Who is that girl?” Archie ask- ed when the letter was finished.

“Edith Middleton,” answered Helen, “she’s an old school friend of mine who lives in Philadelphia. Harry Pelham’s mother is her aunt so that is the way she knows. She was here last year while you were abroad.”

“Well.” ejaculated Archie. “I don’t think much of that letter.

J

You girls make me very tired the way you jump on Florence Curtis. I'd like to tell Miss Middleton just what I think of you both.”

“Why don’t you?” Helen asked.

“TI don’t know her,” he = an- swered.

“Oh, I'll fix that,” she returned, and going over to the little desk in one corner of the room she took a sheet of note paper and scrawl- ed across the top: “Dear Edith,—- Let me introduce Mr. Chambers, of whom you have heard me speak, and who is, in some sort, a cousin of mine. He wants to an- swer your remarks about F. C.”

“There,” said Helen, handing it to Archie, “go ahead and have a good time.”

“But I can’t do that,” he said, after reading her flippant intro- duction.

“Why not? You have been in- troduced. Perhaps you haven’t the nerve,” she suggested.

Without another word Archie went to the desk and scratched busily for ten minutes, then he returned to Helen and gave her the letter he had written.

“Mr. Chambers is most happy to meet Miss Middleton and hopes she will pardon the liberty he takes in writing her so soon after the above ceremony.

“Dear Miss Middleton,—Helen has suggested that I answer your note to her because we were dis- cussing the engagement when it came and I was rashly defending Miss Curtis. Now that Helen’s opinion has been so ably seconded (she expressed it in quite your words) I feel that the least I can do is to put myself on record as representing what a man might think of it. Let me assure you that the ‘pink and white’ kind does not appeal to Mr. Pelham only; we all have leanings in that direc- tion, Personally I highly approve of his choice and ant’ willing to admit a considerable feeling of envy. As I have told Helen, one must bear in mind the innumer- able breakfasts that are before him when he is about to choose a wife Helen is given to insist- ing that brains are to be consider- ed. From a man’s point of view they are to be considered—after everything else When a girl +: leeautiful (and this includes the ‘pink and white’ variety) she necd make no further effort.

THE GIRL BEHIND THE MASK

Continued from page 6 as a man sees it.. Of course, I: am

speaking of the men I know hire

in New York. There is doubtless another kind in Philadelphia. I have heard that the two cities dif- fer in many ways. I regret that I cannot speak for’ you, we have known each other for such a short time, but I see no necessity for Helen to contemplate a nunnery nor the settlement as yet. Hop- ing that I may be forgiven my earnest and disinterested defence of the ‘Ps and Ws.’ “I remain, sincerely, “J. A. CHAMBERS.”

“But 1 didn’t suggest your writ- ing to her,” exclaimed Helen.

“You certainly did,” he replied, “at any rate I couldn’t have writ- ten her if it hadn’t been for you.”

“Which is not just the same thing,” she answered, intent upon the last word. Whether Helen added anything to the letter Arch- ie wrote to Miss Middleton is not known, but that it was sent is cer- tain.

A week later the red auto stop- ped in front of the Fifth Avenue house'and as Archie Chambers jumpcd out, the front door opened and Helen appeared closely fol- lowed by another girl.

“You're on tme,” Helen called gaily.

“T didn’t expect to find you ready,” he laughed back, lifting his cap and expecting Helen to introduce him to her companion.

“How do you do, Mr. Cham- bers,” said a very sweet voice as the two girls came down the steps.

Archie looked up sharply, try- ing to conceal his surprise.

“How do you do?” he said, not having the slightest idea who she was, for her face was absolutely concealed by a thick black veil un- der which he could see shining goggles fitted into an automobile hood. °

“Tt was so good of you to come” the girl went on in an even, mat- ter-of-fact voice. “I do. love it so!”

“Delighted,” answered Archie vaguely, as he helped them into the back of the car.” Helen, her eves twinkling, laughed = merrily as they sped up the street and the two girls chattered — incessantly while Archie listened for a word that might give him a clue to the stranger’s identity. Both girls took it so much for granted that he would know her in spite of the mask over her face that he dared not confess his ignorance. He re- plied to a volley of questions in monosyllables, intent upon solv- ing the riddle before betraying himself,

“He can’t ever talk, you know, while we’re in the streets. Wait till we get to the Park, Edith, and he will discourse largely upon beauty as the only requisite in a wife.” Helen uttered this last sen- tence with premeditated calm and a cold chill passed rapidly down Archie’s back as he realized for the first who Helen’s companion really was,

“It’s that Middleton girl,” he said to himself “Now for trou- ble.” He blew his horn viciously by way of easing his pent-up wrath, ;

“You did that on purpose, you know you did!” Helen exclaimed.

“Always do it on purpose,” he retorted with exasperating indif- ference.

‘There once was a boy with a toot, whom the neighbors all threatened to shoot,” chanted Edith Middleton with a glance at Helen,

“They only threatened, you may observe,” Archie put in with some heat. He felt that — these yirls were taking him at a distinct disadvantage,

“But they stopped the Helen retorted.

They rode on for several miles and a running fire of banter in which the man naturally had much the worst of it,

“Do you think it’s fair, being two to one?” he asked at length.

“Oh, [ll keep quiet,” said Hel- cn, “I’m not a P, and W. but I’m awfully obliging.”

“You see, Mr. Chambers, we haven't anything but poor, useless brains to recommend us,” Edith added, suppressing her mirth and trying to speak gravely,

“I suppose I shall never be for- ziven for that. letter?” he said huinbly.

“Forgiven?” exclaimed Edith. “Why a word in season, given as 1 know it must have been, from your heart, was invaluable. I was going on hoping against hope, thinking perhaps I had a chance but now I’m quite out of the run- ning and am becoming recon- ciled.”

“You haven’t given me an op- portunity to judge,” he answered ruefully,

“What do you mean?” asked innocently.

“Well,” he hesitated, “You haven’t let me see you.”

* “Ho, , ho!” ‘laughed Helen, Mayes you have a chance after all.

“Don’t tempt me now that I have taken the veil,” returned Edith, pointing to her mask.

_ They were nearly home by this time and Archie, although he

girls, was beset with curiosity. He wanted very much to see Miss Middleton without that hood over her face and, as he drew up to the

sidewalk, turned to Helen.

“I’m coming in for a biscuit,” he said positively.

“All right,” she answered, read- ily, “come along.” ty

Another revealed them apparently weeping into large handkerchiefs that completely hid their features, and across this was written: “We are so sorry that we're not Ps and Ws!”

Archie made no comment upon these photographs; never men- tioned the fact that they had reached him and the gilrs likewise said nothing; but one morning he received this telegram:

and he was very much depressed as he steered the red machine up to the house. Edith came down the steps at once, still hooded.

“Helen won’t be able to go,” she said quictly.

He helped her in without a word and climbed up to the seat beside her. The girl was unusual- ly silent, and Archie had no thought for anything except that the end had come, and she was going away from him. A com- monplace remark now and_ then was all either of them seemed capable of while they sped on and on out through the city beyond the Bronx.

“You never came here before,” said Edith, “it’s quite like the country.”

“Yes,” he answered with a vis- ible effort, “there are not so many people and things out here.”

On they went in silence, so ab- sorbed that the stn was low. in the West before Edith suggested going back.

“Don’t you think we'd turn?” she asked.

“T don’t ever want to turn,” he answered,

She laughed = easily. “But think how hungry you’d get.’

“Do you realize that this is our last ride together?” he asked.

“Oh, I hope not,” she returned, ‘ast is such a final sort of a word. T’}l be back again some day.”

“And do you know that in all this time—”

“TIas it seemed so long?” she interrupted, -

“That in all this time,” he per- sisted, “I have never seen your face. Won’t you take that thing off once for me?”

“Oh, nol” she answered with apparent alarm. “Think of my complexion and how important looks are to a girl. I don’t dare?”

“But I want to see you,” he pleaded.

“Just to find out what I look like?” she laughed. Well, I can tell you that I’m not pink and white.”

“It isn’t only to see what you look like,” he began, his voice trembling a little. “It’s to see if there is any hope for me. Don't you know that [ love you, Edith, love you with all my heart. Since you came I haven't thought of an- other thing on earth but just you, night and day; but how can I tell whether you care or not with your face always hidden from me?”

She sat motionless while he looked anxiously at the impassive mask.

“Have you thought of the innt- merable breakfasts?” she asked, softly.

“No, I haven't,” he answered. “T haven't thought of anything but that I love you and want you near me always. Don’t tell me about those idiotic things I said. What do I care how you look? I’m not at all afraid of that, for it’s just for yourself that I love you. Your dear sweet self with your wit and cleverness and—

“Turry, hurry!” he exclaimed.

Mr; Thomas F.. Ellis. an old- timer of the Red: Deer district died Jast week after an. extended illness. Coming out from Colne, Lancashire, England, in 1884, he joined. the. Royal North. West Mounted = Police, and went. with them through the. Rebellion of 1885. He received his medal: at Calgary when the Duke. and. Duchess of Cornwall and York, now the Prince and Princess of Wales, came through Canada. After two terms with the R.N.W.M.P., -chiefly at Fort Sas- katchewan and the old Red Deer crossing, he resigned from the force. For some four months he was as‘istant.. Principal of the ndian Industrial School, and_ in 1900 assumed charge of the Arling- ton Hotel. His geniality, kindliness and industry, soon built. up a suc- cessful business. Mr, Ellis did with his might what his hands found to do in all occupations he undertook, says the Red Deer Adyvo- cate. and his musical gifts and his experience and knowledge of old- time conditions made hima genial host and a cheery companion.

Speaking of the late James Reilly, one of Calgery’s oldest and best known citizens, the Albertan says:

“Calgary will never know just how much it owed to him. During these later years when he was a per- sistent traveller, he spread the gos- pel of Western Canada throughout many lands, and the seed so widely scattered has sprung up and in many cases borne fruit. Wherever he went he told of this country just asit is, Alberta; just asit is no better and no worse, was quite good enough for him. He was u delight- ful and convincing conversationalist. Wherever he went, whether on the banks of the Seine, in Southern California, in Eastern Canada, he always had a large and interested audience listening to his favorite theme, this great western nation in the making, And these latter day pilgrimages were of double value to us. Wherever he went he ap-

pointed himself a special civic com- mittee to investigate conditions and report upon them to Calgary. And many is the wise suggestion made to the people of Calgary which occurred to him-when in far away cities,”’

Rev. J. M. Millar, the new pastor of Knox church, Strathcona, has assumed his duties, and has made a most excellent impression both in the pulpit and out of it. On Friday last he conducted the funeral cere- monies of the late Dr. McIntyre,

Mr. Howard Douglas, Dominion Commissioner ot parks, leaves for Jasper Park next .month to make preliminary arrangements in ccn- nection with the laying out of that great new national play-ground.

Major-General W. H. H.. West. R.M.L.I., father of Inspector West, of the Royal North West Mounted Poilce ut Letbridge, died on the 21st of last month in England. As a lieutenant in 1854 he served in the blockade in the Baltic and was_pre- sent durng the operations against the Aland Islands in that year, in- cluding the capture of a battery on August 8 and the action with the furts at Bomarsund on August 15. In the following year he again went to the Baltic and was present at the action with Russian steamers and a hattery on June 21, and the bombardment in the Baltic until the declaration of peace in 1858. For these services he received the Baltic medal.

- At the formal opening of the Nurses’ Home in connection yith the Roland Boswell hospital at Vegreville, warm tributes were paid to the management of the institu- tion under Dr. Arthur. Among the speakers, in addition to many rominent townspeople. were Mrs. wing and Mrs, Bremner, represent- ing the Wemen's Home Missiunary Society of the Presbyterian church, and Rev. A. D.

Play resulted in Mrs. Goldwin Kirkpatrick capturing the dainty prize.

Mrs. Turnbull.has lent her _resi- deace to Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Frith during her absence in Banff, their new home in the West end not be- ing quite completed.

Mr. and Mrs. T. S. F. Jackson will be the guests of Mrs. Bower Camp- bell over the week-end.

Mrs.

Scoble’s sister, Mrs. Bay Stephen, arrived in town on Thurs- day and will spend some time here.

Those who remember what a charming woman Mrs. Stephen was, when here on her honeymoon a year or so ago, will look forward with genuine pleasure to meeting her again.

Mrs. Ewing entertained two tables at an informal Bridge on Saturday evening in Mrs. Murton’s honor, when a jolly game was participated in by the fortunate invitees, fol- lowed by a dainty supper.

Mrs. Murton, Mrs. Cross, Mrs. Short, Mrs. H.C. Wilson, Mrs. Bower Campbell, Mrs. Dickens- and Mrs. ,Turnbull were the guests of this pleasant party.

I hear that a certain bank man- ager in town anda decidedly strik- ing looking girl, not yet a debu- tante, have announced their engage- ment.

A little party of :Edmontonians, including Mr. and Mrs. Goldwin Kirkpatrick, Mr. and Mrs, Bower Campbell, Mr. and Mrs. Anderson, Mr. and Mrs. Scoble, Mr. and Mrs. T. S. F. Jackson and Mr. and Mad- ame Thibaudeau drove out to Sandy Lake early in the week, had dinner there and a glorious drive home in the cool of the evening.

Mrs. Dickens’ friends have been muking anxious enquiries for her all week, as she was reported quite seriously ili at the Windsor Hotel.

I hear rumors of several removals to the Coast in the immediate fut- ure, but people have a way of chang- ing their minds at the last moment so I am not saying anything.

Mrs. Pardee and,her two children are occupying the cottage at St. Albert they have taken for two years now. Several Edmontonians have enjoyed merry little trips to the pretty village to enjoy her hos- pitality.

Mrs. Turnbull’s tea on Thursday was an exceedingly jolly and in- formal affair, the guests being largely asked from among the visi- tors at present staying at the Capi- tal. Prominent among these was Mrs. Murton of Guelph, a bright. vivacious ‘young matron, with an exqwiste figure, who wore a most becoming Princesse frock of pulest green brocaded silk, with a stunn- ing black turban with jet sequinned Bird of Paradise wings; Mrs. Pow- ell in a rich black toilette, Miss Haldane’s guest; Mrs. Cowan, a comparative new comer to town and Mrs. Wood, Mrs Webster’s guest. The town guests included Mrs. Cross, Mrs. Dickens, Mrs. Anderson, Mrs. Bower Campbell, Mrs. Kirkpatrick, Mrs. Short, Mrs. Bowker, .Mrs. Fraser, the Misses Webster, and muny others, and Airs, Wilson and Mrs. Ewing pre- sided at..the. beautifully arranged tea-tuble, bright and fragrant with showers of sweet peas, on a lovely lace cloth.. Several of the younger set. assisted.

Mrs. Turnbull was wearing a pretty white muslin gown and re- ceived her guests in her own charm- ing, unaffected way. Many missed Mrs, Crawford, always her daught- er’s right hand at these pleasant happenings.

Saturday saw another summer ten in full swing, the wide piazza of Mr. and Mrs. Webtser’s commod- ious new house being crowded with a gay party of men and women, en- joving a pleasant hour over the tea cups.

The Five O’Clocker was really in honor of Mrs. Wood, a guest of the

The daughters of the house were also assisting in making everybody wel- come, Miss Webster wearing a striped fawn voile gown over taff- eta, with pretty luce insertion, and Miss Ethel in cool white.

Tea was served inthe large airy hall, the table being set with a handsome drawn-work cloth, and crowned with a great vase of ex- quisite wild: flowers. Here Mrs. Saunders and Mrs. Balmer Watt served tea and Jemonade, and Mrs. Justus Wilson the ices,

Everyone was looking very sinart, I thought and all were loud in their praises of the beautiful view. and enjoying the bracing air that seems cooler and more refreshing here than almost any other spot in town.

I have only time for a passing reference to the very successful garden fete held at Mr. and Mrs. Groat's beautiful grounds, on Wed- nesday evening, as the paver goes to press immediately.

Mr. Sandeman is blessed with a fine grove of trees and plenty of ground. Seveal dozen Chinese lanterns were hung about, which when lighted, together with other decorations provided, made a very picturesque setting. Under the trees were small tables at which; re freshments were served to those who wished them. Ranged along the house was the buffet. The whole scene was a very pretty one and the attendance was large. The Strath- cona band gave some excellent ‘se- lections in the early part, the Bey. of entertainment being later taken up by other volunteers. Mr. H.
