Marianne went shop- ping this morning and has some suggestions to offer. For a long time she paused before the window in a furniture store for there were some smoking sets designed in walnut with fancy carved handles, and legs that would be nice for father and also look attractive stand- ing beside his favorite leather chair. She went inside and priced these but did not de- cide upon one because they were rather expensive. "Where shall I go now?" Marianne asked herself as she left the store, then she looked across the street and there was a place where they sold leather goods, suitcases, club bags, brief cases, purses, golf bags, leather jackets--everything in this store would be suitable for father. 'The sight of the golf bags made her think that fath- er had said he wished some- one would remember him at Christmas and give him a box of real good golf balls, and then too, he did need a new driver, just like the one he had broken. She could take his old one down and order a new one like it. That would be a lovely present and one father ould appreciate. In her travels about town during the busy morning, Marianne saw some of the latest books, that father would appreciate. In her looked for a long time at gloves, a scarf and some beau- fully monogramed handker- chiefs, Still she had not bought her father's Christmas present. Something for his of- fice! Well, that would be nice, but what? A fountain pen set, an etchng or picture, a leather cushion for his chair, covers for his telephone directory,and memorandum book, there were ever so many things she could think of that father would like to have for his office, Poor Marianne, it was near- noon when she got on the street car to go home and then she had no present for her father. Her only parcels con- sisted of some sheets of tissue naper to wrap things in and some ribbon and cards... How- ever she had seen a lot of things and could thing about them when she got home, and would probably be able to make up her mind in a short time, Perhaps some of the things that were suggested to Marianne will be of assistance to you. - LJ] Ld * Ld . * LJ * * - Ld * . » " Ld * * * Ll 0d * * .

The young Muskrat who had twisted off a foot and left it in a cruel steel trap was at first so happy In being free that he didn't give much thought to that lost foot. He followed his father, Jerry Muskrat, straigh home to the big house in the Smiling Pool, which he entered by diving and swimming through the long, un- derwater hall. Oh how good it was 0 come up inside 'where he was safe from all enemics. On a com- fortable bed of dry grass he first gave real attention to his injured leg. It ached, did that stump of a leg. Yes, indeed, it ached. But the ache was not so great as it had been when the leg was held fast in that dreadful trap. He gent- ly licked it to get it clean. Pres- ently he went to sleep. You see, he had had no rest or sleep for so long that he was quite used up. Oh how good it was when at last he awoke to fiind that he was safely at home at that big King Street United Church was held in the school room Thursday at 3 p.m. The retiring president, | Mrs. H.

LADIES' AID SOCIETY The anntal business meeting and election "of officers of the La- dies' Aid of Albert St. United Church was held in the Church par- lours on Thursday evening last. The meeting began with a dainty supper, to which a large and rep- | resentative gathering of the mem- bers sat down at 6.30 p.m., after which the business was promptly conducted by the president, Mrs, D. Cameron. The reports of the work as pre- sented were highly gratifying, rep- resenting as they did, a very large amount of patient and earnest ef- fort on the part of all and closing out one of the most fruitful years, | financially and otherwise, in the | Society's history. The election of officers was con- ducted by ghe pastor, Rev. 8, C. Moore. At her urgent request, the retiring president, Mrs. D. Camer- on, who has served the society in that capacity with great accept- ance, cfficiency and devotion for eleven years, was reluctantly re. Heved of the responsibili- ties of the office after fit. ting tribute had been paid her faithful services hy the sister end others. The efficient work of oth- er retiring officers was duly ap- preclated and acknowledged, viz.: Mrs, W. J. Coatwell, vice pres.; Mrs. 8. Carleek, treasurer; Mrs. E. 8. Holland, pianist and Mrs. G. W. Burdge, cor. 800, In the selection of a president the society was favored and for- tunate in their whole-hearted choice of Mrs. J.

The pro- gram commenced with moving pic» tures by Mr. V, Bailey. After this characterictures of various members of the club were thrown on the screen Some were very amusing.

Mrs. J.

The young Muskrat was almost ready to doubt this as he lost his balance while climbing up on a log, but when he remembered the boy with the stick lifted to kill him he decided that after all it was better, much better, to be alive. He soon discovered that he was badly handicapped if he tried to fight with any of his compem- fons and so he took pains not to quarrel with them, He discovered that he could not run, so he sel- dom went more than a jump from the water. He found that he could not dig as he had dug once upon a time so he no longer tried to dig up roots for foot, but hunted more for other food. Altogether, however, he got along surprisingly well for one so crippled. Fortunately he was seen by Farmer Brown's Boy. After that there was always plenty to eat where he could easily get it. So he grew strong and hig and more and more clever in getting about on three legs. But always he re- membered the deadful legson of the trap and never once did he forget to look carefully before putting a foot down anywhere. Even when there was no reason to think that there might be traps about he was just so careful. . Jerry Muskrat used to notice this and grin, but he took care | that the young Muskrat shouldn't see him do it. 'He'll live to be oll and wise," said Jerry to Mrs. Jerry. "It was a dreadful lesson, but it has made a new Muskrat | of him. Yes, sir, it has so. No- tice how ready he is to listen to | advice now. He was headstrong and heedless, but now he is cau- tious and watchful and suspicious. Never again will he be caught in a trap, nor is he likely to be caught by any of our enemies. He may he crippled so far as that leg is concerned but there is nothing crippled about his wits." It was so. In time that erippled young Muskrat proved to be smart- | eet of all the young Muskrats and was quite capable of taking eare | of himself. But he had paid-a | { dreadful price.
