 "fhe Lure of Gold' was treated by Louise Weatherhead who took her hearers back to the time of the Romans and brought them down to the recent discovery of gold in Alaska. As the lure of gold is in individuals so in na- tions. The voyage of Columbus which resulted in the discovery of America was primarily for the quest of gold. Not however for himself but for the church. IL also lead Hernando Cortez and other explorers and conquers into unknown lands. She cited the finding of gold in California in As and later in Alaska. It is the magnetic power that draws men on, now to success, now to failure.

 Flora Burrill
 Violin obligato, Louise Weatherhead Class Will Elizabeth Russell Souvenirs Bessie Carpenter Song at Sunrise, Manney
 Girls Chorus
 Glass Prophecy, Marjorie Richardson Selection, High School Orchestra
 The class history by Miss Marion Renshaw was of exceptional Merit. It was written in rhyme, and was pro- nounced by those who had heard many of the histories in the past, to be the cleyerest and best history ever written of a graduating class of the Putnam High school.
 The class will by Miss Elizabeth Russell was also we'll prepared and drawn up in due form. It's devises and bequests covered everything that had lbeen cherished by the departed seniors, and there was no residuum to cause contention: Even the piano and looking glass in the old building, the former with the expressed hope that the fresh air during it's removal to the new school building would in a meas ure restore it's once harmonious tone, were worthily bestowed.
 Miss Bessie Carpenters distribution of souvenirs, fitting each pupils espec- tally prominent characteristic with a humorous explanation Of the appro. priateness of each gift caused great deal of amusement.
 The class prophecy by Miss Marjorie Richardson was also well done, and called for some ability as an eloculion- ist. She carried on a conversation over a telephone with another of ithe class supposedly at the other end of the wire Each one of the class was spnk- en of in turn, and she told the imagi- nary listener at the other end what

 His father, the king, hearing of Ursu- la, sent ambassadors to,demand her in marriage for his son. The king, not wishing to offend the powerful mon- arch, and knowing that his daughter had made VOW of perpetual chastity, having dedicated herself to Christ, was much disturbed. He left the matter to be answered by his daughter. When called upon by the ambassadors she did so by asking three things: First, ten virgins with a thousand attend ants, and a thousand more to wait up- on herself. Second, for the space of three years to be allowed to honor her virginity, and with her companions to visit the holy shrines where repose the bodies of the saints. Third, that the prince and his court receive baptism.

"THIS Is MY 6sTH BIRTHDAY
Sir William WHITE.

Sir William Whyte, who has just re-
tired from the vice presidency of the
Canadian Pacific Railway company, was
born in Fifashire, Scotland. September
Is. 1913. He entered railway service
early in the employ of the North Brit
ish Railway company and came to
Canada in 1868. He began as freight
clerk for the Grand Trunk at Coburg,
Ontario, and rose steadily in the service
of that road until 1883, when he was
made general superintendent of the
Credit Valley railroad. In the next
year he became general superintendent
of the Eastern and Ontarion division of
the Canadian Pacific and in 1886 went
to Winnipeg general superintendent
of the western division. Since that
time he has been the western head of
the railroad. Early in the present year
Sir William was one of the several
Canadians to receive coronation honors
at the hands of King George v. He has
done much 10 develop the industries of
Canada, particularly in the great North
west. In 1901, in furtherance of a plan
for the development of Canadian trade,
he made an. extensive trip through
Russia and Siberia.

The Evening Chit-Chat
BY RUTH CAMERON

Which would you rather have when
YOU go a-visitinn, elaborate and fussy
fare especially gotten up for your
delectation and a hostess tired out by
the extra exertions, and subconscious-
~ hoping that you won't come again
too soon, or your share of the family
fare and a serene and undisturbed
hostess who is not deferred by weari-
ness from enjoying and making you en-
joy your visit to the full and from gen
timely hoping you'll come again soon?
l can't imagine but one answer to
that query
And yet. how many hostesses give
their guests the credit Of being de-
cent enough to visit them for their con-
versation and friendship rather than
their food?
How many women have the common
sense and large Inindedness to insist
that their hospitality shall always be
pleasure rather than a burden?
Perhaps one in five. but 1 doubt 1t.
To all too many housemothers com
pany" is synonymous with bother
and unexpected company" with
catastrophe"
And in many houses where formal
hospitality is really enjoyed. the In
formal guest-to my mind. the essence
of hospitality-is an unknown guam
tity.
On my list of friends / am mos,
happy TO include certain middle-aged
couple who have what appeals to me
as the ideal attitude towards hospital
ity.
These people almost neever enter
tain formally. A weekly Afternoon
at home" and an occasional casually
arranged card party are their biggest
concessions to formal hospitality.

But in informal hospitality they
fairly revel
The husband is always free to bring
home guest whenever he wishes =
using discretion, of course-the wife's
women friends feel free to drop in at
any time and the children frequently
bring their young friends to the house.
A guest here does not disturb the
family routine in the least. He shares
the family fare. He never feels that
he is in the way at all. On the maid
night out the well-known guests are
sometimes invited into the kitchen, to
join the family circle there while the
dishes are being disposed of, and many
a young bachelor has even hugely en-
joyed the joke of DOMINIC an apron
and helping out.
As to the ways and means, the
housemother says: I'VE usually have
] plenty to eat In the house. and plenty
for four can generally be expanded to
enough for five. For the occasions
| when my fare needs eking out 1 keep
a stock of canned vegetables and sour
: and preserves.
| IF we run short of anything, we
| laugh at it together. and the novelty
of this treatment of the situation usu-
ally pleases the guests.
Hospitality has been one of the
greatest Measures of our married life
and I think it is just because we made
up our minds at the beginning TO en-
joy our friends in simple way anC
never to insult them by letting oul
entertainment of them become a bur
densome duty. If we lost any friends
in this way. we felt they would hardl.
be friends worth keeping"
To quote the poet, 'Them's my senti
ments. too," and 1 wish they were NOR
folks" RUTH CAMERON.
