~ her Resldemce
Notwithstanding the inclemency of the
weather last Thursday evening, very
large company assembled at the beauti-
full residence of Mr.. and Mrs. j. w. Gil.
bert to partake of their hospitality.
Early in the evening the weather had
changed from rain to snow; every hour
the storm grew fiercer, and when seven
O'clOcI arrived, had assumed the nature
Of blizzard, and it was apparent that
no human being could venture out
to Gilbert Heights. and many hearts
were sorely disappointed. While peo-
pie were thus soliloquizing, Mr.. Gilbert
was not sitting idly by his fireside, think
ing whether or not his friends would VEN
ture out, but summoned unto himself his
servant, mounted, and commanded him
to
go, breathe 1t in the ear
OF them that fear,
And bid them BE of good cheer."
''AlsO tell them that I have arranged
for the. buses to call at their homes.''
And so it was that this merry company
found themselves at his cheerful fireside
Thursday evening. The spacious par
lors were thrown into one large audito-
rum, comfortably seating the entire
company, when the following delightful
musical programme was rendered:

In the absence of Mrs. j. H. Churchill
Mrs. w. w. Munsell supplied the num-

entitled 'SOngs without words.'' The
programme was an unusually inter-
esting one, profuse with sparkling vocal
and instrumental gems, and was warmly
applauded from beginning to end. The
female quartette was new feature and
a very acceptable one, too. Mr.. Hard
and DR.. Wade were absent, and their
numbers were not supplied.
