T. Cotten sang very beautifully, "Because." i Im- mediately after the ceremony, the happy couples left for points east and on their return will reside in Oshawa. EDWARDS--MARTIN A pretty autumn wedding took place at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ellis Edwards, 216 Armstrong Ave., Toronto, when their youngest daughter Minnie Lettie Jane, be- came the bride of Mr. Clarence Wil- liam Martin, of Toronto, formerly Ontario, Adams beneath an arch of autumn leaves and flowers, the house being prettily decorated with leaves and flowers. The bride, who was given away by her father, entered the ty in a gown of Radium lace over duchess satin embroidered in seed pearis and wore the groom's gift a sunburst of pearls. She wore am embroidered weil of tulle arranged in coronet effect crowned with or- ange blossoms and carried a bouquet of ophelia roses. She was attended by Miss Edith Moore as bridesmaid HE bass are biting in the Geot- gian Bay Country!" the conduc- tor on the Grand Trunk told me as we proceeded from Algonquin Park to Scotia Junction, where I expected to turn south: ard with the rest of the tourists frm "the States." The long five days' trip through some of the greatest speckled and grey trout lakes that I have ever fished over had been hard, and my back still ached from toting my share of the dunnage on the trip, I was tired, I told myself, and I intended to beat it back down into the broad leaf country for a good rest along some little hill branch where the sunfish were nibbling at the fly hook. "Bass!" That woke me up from a doze. "Where?" I was keen again,. The grey trout and the great speckled giants of Bluff Lake and Blue Jay, in the Algonquin Park, hidden far away now back of the rolling hills, were but memories, while the magic word bass kindled anew my interest in life. No matter how tired a man from the States might be, that magic word BASS revives him, It's the in- centive to renewed efforts along the winding water trails, "Yes, sir!" continued the conduc- tor, "and taking--well, just remem- ber to oad up with dew worms, brother--just remember that!" That's the way with those lads up there, It's the. land of sport, and fishing's the high card there this Summer, as in all Summers past and gone, It is the land of the angler and the egortsman, and the talk is always of sport on lake and stream. By the time we reached Scotia I had changed my mind about the sun- fish. I was no longer tired. The nain for the States waited to turn wuthward, but Robie, the old Dop- ster of Field and Stream, was west- wird bound toward the far hills, be- yond the pine and spruce edged right-of-way to that country where the hills roll back wide and deep with shadows, and where the hard roca gleams open and unshaded by timber, to Parry Sound, northern gateway to the "Thirty Thousand Is- iands®--to rolling, flashing, Georgian Day, grandest of all fishing paradises. And when I got there? Lacky mortal that I was, I found dear old Joe Lawrence, Merdie and £4. Taylor, those jolly boys of Parry Sound, who have fished the winding ways of Paradise Island for full tLany a moon. Merdie, freckled and sunny of face as all outdoor lads are, morth or south, waited for us the next morn- ing with his pasteboard box bulging with cool, damp moss gathered from be cliffs across the bay on Parry \ OSHAWA, ONTARIO, Tsland, and In this moss, "brofhers of the arching bamboo, lay full many a deadly bass bait--the dew-worm that my friend the conductor had hinted at the day before, as the pullman swept onward toward the broad leaf country. "All right, Merdie, me boy," said Robie the Old Dopester, as he clam- bered into the little launch and Joe "turned 'er over" for the long jaunt of fourteen miles across the tossing waters of Georgian Bay for the bass fishing grounds out there, Now, here's a secret, lads o' the sport, Joe Lawrence, God bless his great heart, was my friend, as | wish he might be to every one of you, dear readers, He was taking me out to his favorite bass groun r rather to Ed. Taylor's favorite grounds, for really, after all, Ed, the old brown- faced King of Anglers, was the chap who was blowing us to the treat. Were 1 offered first place in the magic Hall of Fame for the secret of that bass pool in Georgian Bay where we caught the limit and the limit again, I couldn't guide myself back there. Through channel after channel, winding by the shores of rocky is- lands sweet to the soul of the wan- derer upon the water trails, with their leaning, wind-warped pine, hemlock and birch--channels that wound treacherously between dangerous reefs where with one faulty turn of the rudder we would have been dash- ed upon the fangs of the waiting reefs; through bays and across wind swept channels, until at last "The Sisters"--those guiding points of rock and warped pine, with the white exclamation marks that denote the entrance to Steamboat Channel ap- peared. Then at last we came to the gate- wayl Paradise Island lay nearby, and the water foamed and whitened over a long bar. Little rocky knolls protruded from the glittering ex- panse of the bay. We shut down the engine suddenly. "All to one side quick!" command- ed Commodore Ed. and we swung our cargo to the starboard side--just in time, as we glided over a reef that scraped the bottom of the launch. As I live to tell it, there was a chan- nel there no living man but Ed. Tay- for could have found--and we were in The Pool of The Bass. "Now for the dew-worms!" breath- ed' Ed. "Quick, Merdie--that's right, give me the dead ones as usual!" yipped the everlasting banter of jolly old Joe Lawrence as Merdie handed him a wriggling juicy bass charmer. "A dew-worm--a bass! chanted freckled, sunny Merdie. oa. the 20000 islands Anll for me, bay, the gliftes of the old spoon! 1 réuthed for de bat- tered red case I had toted over the long, long circuit of the fish-hook trail, I dipped in blindly and brought out a star spinner--a No, size-- which my friend, E. A. Pflueger, had handed me the night he spun for me the story of the big rainbow that battled him into the sunset up there on the Soo. I will try it, thought I, as | harkened back to the sun going down, a red mist, into the Ontario hills back of the great locks of the Soo up yonder across Huron. A skeptical smile crept into the face of Ed. but he was too much o a gentleman to say anything, The first cast was made. Bam! Ed. hu hooked his. Bam! Loh old rec sang the song of the fighting fin. 1 looped on and cast, and there was a sudden stop, as though I had hit one of the everlasting rocks of Paradise Island, 1 lifted the tip sharply, There was a golden gleam, a splat. tering leap, and subconsciously I heard Joe shout "Net!" I had hooked my first Georgian Bay bass, and for some seconds I played one of the gamest fish of my trip. So the school of bass swam by, and as they passed we collected our toll--Merdie, Joe and Ed. with their dew-worms and I with the arti- ficial spoon, As I landed my fish with them I caught the keen dark eyes of Ed. upon me, and that day as the sun fell low back of the warp- ed pines and hemlocks beyond silent, dreaming Paradise Island Ed. came ' up to me while we waited for the black "kittle" to bile. "Lad, what sort of fixing is that rig you're using there? I don't know but what it's as good as the old dew- worm after all." And so it was! The bass were feeding, my friends, and that's one of the points I want to bring out in writing this short sketch of one of the greatest bass fishing days I ever experienced on lake, stream or bay, that when the black battlers are really feeding in schools the bait has lcast of all to do with the taking of fish, The location of good feeding grounds and the finding of schools of feed- ing fish are the main things. Then some good bait--be it live frog, dew- worms, minnow or artificial--any ol them will take the fish, providing dear old Ed. Taylor's Paradise Is- land pool may peradventure be found once more. Buddies of the singing reel, let's hope that some time you find Ed. and Joe and Merdie yourselves, up there among those pine crested is- lands, and that with them you pass through the rocky reefs into the feeding grounds of the noble s.aall- mouth bass of Georgian Bay! | endless variety, CARD OF THANKS Mr. and Mrs, T.

They vary in thickness according to the climate in each locality. These turbans are made of cloth from 20 to 40 feet long and from 12 to 18 inches wide, and are wrapped around the head in according to rank There are a number of worn in combination and taste, accessories with the turban. One beautiful or- nament, limited to the use of kings, princes and nobles, is a beautifully embroidered velvet band about six inches long and two broad, into the middle of which is inserted a gold plate set with precious stone. This is worn obliquely in front of the turban, and the band is tied behind by means of a silk thread fastened to each end, FOR YOUR FALL HUNT Hundreds of sportsmen in Canada take their vacation in the hunting season. They are now getting their equipment ready for the chase. The question *'where to go" is the all absorbing one.
