"HILE we're all humming
w tunes from Gilbert and
Sullivan, along comes a local
store. and introduces dresses OF
Gilbert and Sullivan prints.
There's a pattern for nearly
every opera, and some Of them
are delightful. All are colorful
and gay, with little figures that
tell the story of the opera, in
almost as amusing fashion as
Messers G. and S. did it. Those
remember best are The
Mikado," with clever Chinese
figures, in the most beautiful
Chinese colors. Pirates of Pen
zance" which has vivid pratt
cal scenes. and "The Condo
liers." There's one that is not
strictly Gilbert and Sullivan,
but is called "Symphony," and
has musical notes and bars,
clefS, and so on. on 1t. The
dresses are made in advance
spring styles, are well cut and
are of nice crepe. They come in
Misses and Junior Misses sizes,
and are but $7.95. They make
grand in-between costume to
brighten your winter wardrobe,
and will be good for spring too.

 GIFT AT PARTY
FrancO-American Club Of- ficers Present Guests
 With Electric Warmer


 Oficers and employees of the Franco-American Social club and relatives of Euloge A. Delage cele- brated MT. and Mrs. Delage's 18th wedding anniversary at the club hall last evening. The celebration was engineered by the clubs officers who were completely successful tn sur prising MT. and Mrs. Delage as they were called upon to contribute to- ward the purchase of gifts which were supposedly to be presented to another officer of the club.
 Because of the clubs rapid prog ress and varied activities, being an officer has almost become 8 regular job" and they, with the employees, are more conscious of MT. Delage's valuable service than then average members as his work as auditor and budget director has been as silent and effective as the so-called "hid- den taxes.
 Arthur Noel, president of the club, introduced the clubs secretary, AL phonse Robichaud, as master of ceremonies and said that MT. and Mrs. Delage's wedding anniversary offered long sought opportunity to acknowledge the guest of honor's invaluable services to the organiz- ation and though the gesture was humble, it was sincere and in keep ing with the spirit displaye by MT. Delage as well as Mrs. Delage. MT. Robichaud opened the ceremony by elaborating on the guest of honor's weakness" for certain hobby, "at which is is grossly unsuccessful and said that the officers of the club had gone to great trouble to collect enough money to procure material to give him renewed vigor and courage to continue his work.
 MT. Robichaud turned from the humorous to the serious part of the ceremonies with exceptionally ap- preciated taste and dexterity and read a prepared address subscribed to by the officers. An electric food warmer and server was presented MT. and Mrs. Delage on behalf of the guests.
 A lunch was served and music, singing and dancing were enjoyed by the guests who resumed the in- formal atmosphere which prevailed before the address.
 Those present were: William L. Cambigue. MT. and Mrs. Thomas J. Morin, MT. and Mrs. Edmond H. Thibault, MT. and Mrs. Alphonse Robichaud, MT. and Mrs. Arthur Noel, MT. and Mrs. Conrad A. Baril.
