the yard which everyone enjoyed i'm
mensely. The day was spent with
music and games. A very interesting
paper was read by Miss Grace Benson,
giving the history of the coming to
America Of the grandparents, and the
hardships they endured during the vOy-
age and after landing in this country.
Two "Ancient Fathers" unexpectedly
appeared during the afternoon. They
were Mrs. Prudence Bracken and Mrs.
Clara Benson, attired in costumes of an
earlier day. We had to look sharply to
know who they We're. Among the
guests We're Mr.. and Mrs Guy Beach
and daughter Miss Margaret.
We certainly had grand time, and
what is more enjoyable than the re-
newing of family ties on an occasion
like this. J. P. SHELDON.

Mobilization? Yes, Of Judgment
Mobilization? Yes, Of fear
Fear, lest most Of Europe mothers
Lose all they hold most dear.
What is war but desolation?
What is gain but another's loss?
Peace is glory, peace is heaven,
War is destruction filled with dross.
Serious times make serious thinking,
OFT results lose their supposed gain;
Better stop and look and listen
Than see Youth flower in Death $
train.
The world is progressing, SO they tell
Civilization is lighting the path.
Why 20 back TO barbaric customs
When we can f0resee the aftermath?
Mobilization? Yes, Of faith
Mobilization? Yes, of thought
Mobilization Yes, of action
f. 'er our peace is too dearly bought.
For these wars will sometime end
Sometime peace will reign again.
Why not settle all these troubles
With our minds and not with men?

"The Girl of My Dreams"

The Girl of My Dreams" the pret- ty musical play. is a sweet and sim pie little love story full of the charm of love and of the glory which love throws over life, as the morning sun bsthes the old earth with hope and joy It is not profound. It is noc puzzle in plot and in ethics any more than the life of any of Us is a puzzle It is as simple and plain and true as love. That in a musical comedy one should select little bunch of pure sweetness for a heroine is no crime and that the city chap tired of bache- lorhoCd should forswear it on her ac- count is nothing to be wondered at as the play advances and unfolds. Here is something new-naw in it's aim. new in it's aspirations. The Girl of My Dreams" charms because of the plot. or near as can be in a musical comedy is true to life. 1t matters not how much he laughs over the gro tesque comedy of the situations or taps his feet in unison with the tenn DO of the charming music-he is bound to admit at the final drop, that the girl of his dreams is tor should bel in heart pretty much The Girl of My Dreams" Will appear at the Auditorium next Tuesday January 18th.

One of the men does a double somersault between the trapeze and his partners outstretched arms while blindfolded, and then with a single swing turns another double somer- sault to the net 1t is a marvellous act in every particular
