Invitations were out for party Of the
young friends Of Ralph Chisholm yester-
day.
Queen Esther Circle had a strawberry
and ice cream social on Tuesday even
ing. The affair was advertised as lawn
social, but the weather was against them
and it was adjourned to one OF the va
cant store rooms in the Price block and,
Notwithstanding the drawbacks, was
very successful. Many friends who did
not care to come out on account of the
rain and cold, sent in their admittance
fees and had their berries and cream sent
to them at home.
The lecture Of Mrs. N. Burger at the
Presbyterian church on Wednesday ev-
ening was worthy of larger audience
than was there to enjoy it. Mrs. Burger
is an easy, fluent speaker, with a pleas
ant manner and those present had very
enjoyable evening. By the way, what is
the matter with Pembina as lecture
town. Almost anything else brings out
good audiences, but even lecturer like
Mrs. B., who has national reputation,
can only half fill the church. And it is
not only this case, but in most others. 1t
is not because Pembiua people are not
we'll read and intelligent, because they
are rather above the average of small
towns in this respect, aud yet to an
nounce lecture in Peinblna is to an-
nounce failure. There is no reason
that we should not have lecture course
every winter; we have splendid material
at our door, the college faculties at Far
60, Grand Forks and Winnipeg-excep
that the people will not patronlze them.
