a FEW OF THE USUAL ACTIVITIES
ARE BEING GRADUALLY
RESUMED.
Twiss Will Meet Tomorrow-charity
Whist at Mercantile Club
ladies' Masonic Club
At Windsor.

This week will witness the return
Of society to the usual affairs after
what was undoubtedly a most memoir
able week. The close of the holiday
season brought TO a climax all the
gaieties Of a joyous season. during
which unceasing time and energy were
spent by the younger. and especially
those OF the college set. Every day
held a notable function, sometimes
" or three of them, and now one
wonders as TO the continual whirl.
With the return OF the college man
n maid. things will settle down a bit,
with Just enough gaiety TO enliyen the
monotony of existence. Society will
jog along until the beginning of Lent
shall turn all thoughts into a new
channel. The year already promises
To hold much OF interest. socially. OF
early spring weddings there will oe
quite a few. several OF which are al.
ready announced. This means much
social interest centering about the
brides and their doings.
Club meetings will soon begin again
and that will add to the general busy
ness and have a great deal to do in
relieving the general quietness.
To Travel During Winter.
Miss Francis Louise Bell has made
application to the department at Wash

OF going abroad if the passports are
receivable.
Watch Party.
One Of the pretty affairs of Nev
ears eve was a watch party given
by Misses Lorene Wiley and GLADYS
Baston AT the formers home ON
Naynes Ridge. The guests were an
assembly OF the younger social set
who helped make an enjoyable eve

diversions of the hours. Between -

Patrick lIuldoon, who for 9 years had been employed about a Philadelphia hospital, at salar. that never rose above $3O a month, decided, the other day, that he has strained his old bones and muscles long enough and is entitled to a little relaxation before lying down in his long sleep.
 For 35 years this man has never received more than $50 a mouth part of the time less. Yet when he squared up" with his emplcys-, the other day, there was coming to him the neat sum of $72OO.
 "I looks like eeuough for. my old age. he said, as he took it, and added; "I haven't fooled much away"

 When the body wears out and the soul sits down in world of memories it is the sacrifices made that are sweet.

TO SELF BE TRUE

This above all; To thine own self
 be true,
 And it must follow, as the night
 the day,
 Thou can'st not then be false to
 any man"
 Hamlet.
 In thinking of truth and in act ing it ia our daily lives we are apt to fall into a false way of re- gardmg it as an attribute of great things, a companion to great causes and works. The small lie, we argue, can do none any harm and may make tho road sweeter or pleasant CT for someone.
 The little exaggeratiOn, which will add interest and point to our telling of this or that happening, is harmless, we are pleased to think. It is true that as far as others aye concerned these little infringe. ments may not entail any of thu penalties of taIsehoOd.
 But " hat of ourselves?
 What would men think of our comforting and our wit if they knsv both were born of falsehoodo Waa, have the centuries thought of the men and women who were true to themselves and in that way, through scoru and assault finally proved their truth to the best that was in men and matters?
 The truth that counts is that which is faithful to little things It .yalizes the fact that before " can give anything We must in some way get it. So before we ,au be truthful to others we must be to ourselves.

Australia And Consumption

Australia has voted down proposal to adopt con-
scription as means Of recruiting forces for the British
army in the present war
Some newspapers noting the result Of the recent
Australian election regarded 1t evidence that
the Australians are tired and these papers hazard
further guess that If the people Of all other begerent
nations were allowed expression of sentiment regard
inc the war they too would their WEAKNESS OF the
conflict.
That all nations engaged in the war are heartily
tired OF t-tred of the expense and hearslck because
of the wastage of e-is certain Every parliamentary
discussion IN whatever country proves 1t Quotations
from newspapers in the begerent countries also show
the question uppeTmos IN the popular mind the Ole
one of the Bible: @How long, Lord, how long?'
But as been pointed out frequently heretofore,
great as IS the longing for peace there IS greater
longing and that is for victory. Broadly viewing It.
there are but two sides in this great war and each IS
out TO win is as determined in 1914 Besides,
the determination On each side IS strengthened by the
thought that millions having died for the cause, their
sacrifice not be IN vain Therefore, though all the
begerents are heartily tired OF the bloodshed they are
keeping grimly at It
As for Australia the election meant nothing save
that Australia feels all reasonable military requirements
can be met BY voluntary enstments. The Australians
do not purpose putting themselves IN position where
all the manhood Of the country be drained of to
be consumed in Europe. The Anzacs as the Austraan
and New Zealand coutngents called, have dis
tnVuished themselves at Gallipoi and in Egypt, and
