Wednesday next, and as the preliminaries
are in the hands of ladies and gentlemen
WHO know fill well how to rr6si,ie for such
emergencies, the proposed festivity cannot
fail to prove one OF the most attractive and
enjoyable of the season. More than that,
the good Sisters of ST. Joseph, who are hav-
ing an extensive addition rti;tde to their fine
buildings in this place very much need and
certainly very much deserve a bencfit of this
kind. All therefore who wish them well
should avail themselves of this opportunity
to make their good wishes bear good fruit.

ed the role of hackmau and took load of
friends out on free drive. The rest of the
I story is thus told 'AfIer getting far, far
from home, he landed the party at pleas

ring, patted the dog on the head, stroked the
cats back and condescended to perform
those little courtesies Of life that win mems

emergencies often demand, and which they
