MIDSUMMER SOCIAL AFFAIRS.


II The unusual heat during the pas
J month did not lessen the activity 81
those who were socially inclined.
ii Mrs. John Guthrie Brown is the
, happy possessor Of a house that IL
always comfortably warm in winter
!, and delightfully."- cool in summer. An.
other advantage the Brown house
, sustains Is the large reception room
which Is a modern reproduction OF
the old English mead room Of the
middle ages and design that is be-
Ing used considerable in new archi-
lecture with more or less modifica-
tions. Being entirely unobstructed
from ground floor to roof, it is ecpe-
cially adapted to produce best re-
suits in music, both voice and piano.
\ Mrs. Brown is a southern woman
Ito the manor born" at all times and
especially in the art of entertaining
for she looks after a score Of guests
with the same ease and graciousness
one notices with single caller
Mrs. Brown is an active member
OF the Blackfoot Study circle and was
pleased to accord them the use of her
home for Burns Evening that
/ proved one of the pleasures of the
month socially A large picture Of
the Scotch poet was framed in
plaid and hung Immediately over the
mantle, while each guest was immed-
lately transformed into a bonnie
Scotch laddie or lassie, by having a
plaid bow presented to them. TO hear
Rev. Edwards talk about America
one would think he never knew any
other country. When you hear him
again he is talking of Canada and
you think he is a full blooded Ca
madam. Then ask him for some Scot
fish dialect, and you are ready to
declare he has only been over from
Scotland dozen weeks He is very
much at home with Burns, and his
lecture or sketch of the poets life,
was unusually interesting because of
his personal knowledge of Burns
country and people. The Study lea
que were grateful to him for lend
ing SO much of value to the enter
tainment.
