The Clover's Enjoyable Close.

The Glover clubs last meeting, held affair, a fitting close to a season prolific of enjoyment. That all have enjoyed these meetings goes without saying, for every member has made point to see to it that the gatherings were what they have proved to be, a success-meetings fraught with good fellowship and good cheer. The prizes were won by Miss Hattie Nichols and P. k. Cliff tirsts and Miss Grace Peck and C. H. Gay the boobys. The first prizes were beautiful were marvels in their class, immense in size and withal quite apropos. This club has been run on an entirely original plan and one that has conduced to harmony and good fellowship, plan that the club will keep secret pending letters patent. Through the kindness of Landlord Leon- ard, they have had at their disposal the Annex and all the meetings have been held there. After the presentation of prizes, MT Leonard was called and pre- sented with handsome gold pin with diamond center, as mark of appreciat- ion from the Clovers for the many kind nesscs extended and indispensable ser vices rendered to make the club Il suc- cess. A season of dancing, singing, etc., followed, and the club, after passing a vote of thanks to MT Leonard and Mir Gay and also voting that the Clover's success was unriyalled, adjourned to next Fall. The score cards for the last meet ings were beautifully executed and were the work of Misses Jennie Curtis, Lulu Blackman, Tanie Sanford and M. E.

oyour teeth need filling? Have you had it donef Don't wait till they ache before having them filled. Have them filled at once. No personal adOrnment can make up for ugly looking teeth. The utter indifference mani- fested by the great majority of people, re- garding their teeth, Is alarming. If we neg iect to pay proper attention to our teeth, na- ture will exact penalty from us, that we shnll regret for nll time to come. Children's teeth require more attention than those of adults, just as the tender shoots require more care than the full grown tree. Teach your children to clean their teeth always after each meal. The habit formed in childhood will last through life. If kept clean. will not de- cay so fast.

Between $50 and $6O was cleared by the ;ociable and oyster supper held by the Sodality of the Children of Mary, at St Patrick's hall, last Friday and Satur- day evenings. Fridays attendance was not as large as had been hoped, storm and rain interfering. Still, the hall was we'll filled and oyster suppers were in demand, likewise the various other eata- bles prepared for the occasion. The in imitable music of Bliss and his compan- ions called out the dancers and an enjoy able time was had. The receipts of this evening were $15 to SIS. On the second night, far larger crowd attended and the hall was filled to overflowing. A program quite similar to that of the pre- vious evening was followed and dancing, to which only was the oyster supper of secondary consideration, was again the attraction. The young ladies did well and deserve credit for the entertainment provided, the manner in which it was carried out and the substantial addition to the funds of the church.

Rev G. T. Linsley gave an anniversary sermon at Trinity, Sunday, in commen- oration of the close of the first year of his rectorship here. He began by say ing, "One year ago to-day, l delivered my first sermon here as rector. my text being, I am determined to know naught among you, save Christ Jesus and him crucified.' He then went on to- speak in a general way of the work that had been done in the past year and of the changes and improvements which Hope foresaw in the future. Chief among them were greater regularity of attend ance at church services and an effort to be always punctual at all services. It is hoped that the long-cherished plan of moving the organ from it's present loca- tion in the gallery to d position on the north of the chancel may be carried out. A hymn board, by which hymns and a miniature church calendar might be an nounced, is needed and MT Linsley was happy to say that he already had the promise of board. Furthermore, he urged that more memorial windows be placed in the church, either as personal or family memorials. The proper man. ner in which to conduct the service of the church also received attention. It was hardly so much a sermon as a plain, practical talk in which were embodied many excellent thoughts. There have been many requests that the sermon be repeated and, as only small congrega- tion was present, this may be done.

One of the most enjoyable of the sea- sons dances was that held at St Pat rick's hall, Monday evening, by the St Rose drum corps.
