BO WM AN VILLE* NOV. TS, IS 15. T HE strongest and best shoes made do not last any too long on the average boy or girl, and to continually buy inferior grades is inexcusable inexcusable extravagance. But there should also be another feature prominent in the shoes you buy for children, and that is, true shape. Growing feet demand proper training, the ankles, support and snug comfort. We have studied the problem of children's shoes from every angle--studied it from the parents' standpoint, and considered it from the customer's side, then we sought the best makers we could find and dictated the kind of shoes we wanted, and we got them. We can fit the foot of any child, from infant up, with the best kind of shoes at the lowest prices.

At the anniversary services of the Presbyterian Church records crowds gathered Jo hear Evangelist "Gipsy' Simon Smith who was formerly connect- j ed withjhe London City Mission. This is Mr. Smith's fourth visit to the town and the interest grows with every visit.

Monday he delivered his famous lecture, "From gipsy camp to pulpit." About $500 was realized and this eighty first anniversary anniversary has probably been the best for many years.

Miss Hazel Burnham, who sang at the library concert here recently, Mr. J Bev. George, and Miss Ethel L. Van Nest were the leading vocal soloists. The Guide report says: "Miss Ethel VanNest of Bowmanville possesses a well-trained soprano voice and sang a number of times with, much acceptance. This was her second second appearance as concert soloist in Port Hope and she will always be a welcome addition to any program. Mrs. Scrimger- Massieand her husband, Mr. James Massif who have been heard with such delight in song at Durham Old Boys' banquets in Toronto were valuable contributors to this p ogram. Others taking part wev : Miss M. Hume, Mrs. Jackson, Mrs. V. n Alstine, Mr. A. E. Fulford, Miss M. Ward (violinist) Miss L. Ward (pianist), talented j daughters of His Honor Judge Ward, Mr. S. Gifford, and the popular pastor, Rev. W. F. Spidell who possesses a talent j far above the average in song.

The Guide further adds: On entering the «church one was immediately attracted ! by its brilliance, our Baptist friends having having adopted electric lighting, and the system system is a --most pleasing one, ten large 1 lamps, each endowed in a beautiful globe, ' giving the church a brightness almost equal to day. The power was turned on for the first time on the; evening of the concert. The wiring was: done by Mr. Clarence Edmunds. contribution it is no very great sacrifice to raise a thousand or fifteen hundred dollars in this congregation which represents represents some 55° separate families according according to the last census.
