Many Guides years afterwards, 'when full adult years have robbed them of the joys of company work, have been heard to say that the re- membrance of their enrollment, and the promise they made and the Law they are trying to keep, have been a brake to hold them back from do- ing something that human frailty tempted them to do. Who is there who does not be- lieve that too many such brakes cannot be placed to help the young folks from making mistakes? 'Welcome Fourth!

On a Week from the coming Mon- day there will be a Mothers' Night with a programme and the badges will be given out to the girls. Second Oshawa Company Second Oshawa had to put off their regular meeting, as they had an invitation to attend the pow- wow which was held in Rotary Hall. It was a fine pow-wow and all the guides who were able to be present had a real good time, Mrs. Lee and Mrs. Spinks, both Lieutenants from the above c¢om- pany, attended the luncheon which was held at the Hotel Genosha and also the tea which was given fn the afternoon by Mrs, W.

With the Guides all in a circle on the floor and Mrs. Wallace in their midst, she told them about all the different cords and marks of distinc- tion worn by the members of the provincial executives whom they all saw on Wednesday at the big pow- wow in Rotary Hall. Then she told them something about the com- panies in the city where she comes from and what her Guides there do. The Guides of third company felt very much honored to ' have Mrs. Wallace visit them.

We left these tiacks at this point and went looking for fresh signs of life. They were soon found and we saw where a. rabbit had run down the hillside and across the level, jumping over tree stumps and running through the bush The nystifying part of it all was thc fact that this little rab would run right up to a stump and then go right over the top, which was about threc feet high, making marks | within a foot of either side of the | stump, but never touching the top. | .

BALLET THEATRE PROPOSED With the ultimate object of form- ing 'a repertory company for ballet, with its own permanent theatre, the Camargo Society has just been or- ganized in London. Its first perfor- mance met with success. The com- pany is headed by such great names in the dancing world as Lopokova, Phyllis Bedells, and Anton Dolin. They believe that there is a public in England who love the ballet and who look to them to fill the gap made by the death of Serge Diagileff, The society will give four performances 4 year, and the highest subscription is' $15, which entitles the subscriber to a choice of the best seats.
