Nearly fifty we're present at the sociable
on Monday evening. The programme of
the evening was interesting but not lengthy.
The vocal music by Mrs. L. Grey, Mrs. A.
Y. Grey and Miss Helen Buxton, was
good, especially the last Duet, which re-
ceived merited applause; the select read
ing by Miss Mills and Mrs. Harrington met
with appreciation. Rev. o. Myricl1 ia
vored us with an instructive essay, "Never
too late to learn" Our only regrets were
that the paper assigned him to flii had not
been longer. Miss Welsh's recitation was
pathetic and well delivered. Ample JUS
tice was unmis.akably doneto the ice cream
and cake, during the social hour, after
which they dispersed, gratified at having
obeyed the natural impulse "sociabillty."

crediably maintained.

| lily recognized "Jolly Handy Andy"
brought down the house as ususl IN his
comic, well illustrated character. The club
have improved much since their ''introdlc-
tory" and deserve credit for energy and
perseverance. Each character was ably
represented in order and impressably.
| MIR. Henry Farrer sang al appropriate
temperance solo. In response to loud and
prolonged encoriDg, Gang "Travellng bach

suggested to the minds of the youthful that

be acceptable. BY request the club gave a
repetition on Wednesday evening. We nm
