WOMEN'S MEETINGS After the regular lodge meet- ing of the Sunshine Rebekah Lodge, No. 222, held on' Friday evening an old time Christmas concert and party was given for the children of the members. Those who helped to make pos- sible this pleasant evening for the little people were Mr, and Mrs R. Holden, Miss Velma 'Har- ris, Miss Martin, Mrs. Chalmers, Jack Naylor and Teddy Morgan. - The arrival of Santa Claus in FLIP GIVES HIS MASTER A SURPRISE Be suspiicous if you must, But try at first a little trust, ~Old Mother Nature, Even Unc' Billy Possum had to admit that never before had such a sight been seen in the Green Forest There was Flip the Terrier dancing about and on his back was Runty who had been the smallest of Unc' Billy's twelve children. Not only was Runty on Flip's back but he had climbed there of his own ac- cord and he scemed to be enjoying that wild ride. Runty's brothers and sisters from their safe perches in trees they had climbed looked on in pop-eyed astonishment. There was Runty actually doing one of the things he had boasted of having done, a thing they hadn't believed Re or any other Possum would dare o. Suddenly Flip remembered his master. He stopped and turned his head to look back at Runty cling- ing to his back. Then Flip began to shake himself. My, my, how he did shake! Runty did his best to hold on, but Flip's hair was short and there was little to cling to. At the fourth hard shake Runty fell off. Instantly Flip was standing over him, his tail still wagging. Be- fore Runty could make up his mind what to do next Flip seized him in his mouth, It was the first time Flip ever had done this and it start- ted Runty. However, Flip was hold- ing verv gently though firmly, and Runty was wise enough not to struggle but to lie limply as he did when pretending to be dead. Flip lifted him gently and turned to go back to meet his master. It was just then that Farmer Brown's Boy appeared in sight. His eves op ened wide in surprise as Flip came to him and proudly laid Runtv at his feet. "So vou really did catch some- thing!" he exclaimed as he stooped to pick Runtv up. This must be a member of the same family as that little scamp who got away from us., 1 suppose you shook him to death just because I wasn't there to stop you. I---hello! This rascal isn't dead after all!" He held Runty up by the tail for a better look 'at him and then he recognized him. "It is our little runway as sure as 1 live!" he ex- claimed alond.. "So that is why you didn't shake, him to death, is it? You recognized him and were satis- fied to catch him and bring him to me. Good Dog." He stooped and patted Flip on head and Flip licked his hand, wag- ged his stump of a tail and begaf to bark. "Quiet!" commanded his master and, walking over to an old stump, sat down still holding Runty. The latter still was limp, but his cyes were open and very bright those small eyes were. There was no fear in them. He was in the hands of a friend he knew it. Farmer Brown's Boy put Runty across his knee and began to stroke him. Runty came to life at once. He rolled over onto his feet and sat up to scratch back of one ear with a hindfoot, Farm- er Brown's Boy laughed aloud. "You know me, you rascal!" he cried. Yes, sir, you know me. Well, let me tell you one thing and that is it is a good thing for you that Flip and not some other dog found you." Meanwhile Runty's brothers and sisters were looking on with almost unbelfeving eyes, There was their brother in the hands of this giant and seemingly unafraid, They won- dered what it meant and what would happen next. Truth to tell Runty was also wondering what would happen next and if he would be carried back to that comfortable prison from which he had made his escape. And then he remembered something. He rememberd that al- ways Farmer Brown's Boy had had something good to eat in one of his pockets, But that was when Farmer Brown's Boy used to take him out of his cage to play with him. Would there be anything in one of those pockets now? "The only way to find out is to look," thought Runty and stopped scratching his ear, (Copyright, 1930, T. W.

Graduate of Oshawa Hospital to be a Missionary in China The drawing room of the Nurses' residence of the Oshawa General Hospital, was the scene of a charming little party on Sat- urday evening, when the mem- bers of the Nurses' Alumnae As- sociation assembled to honor Miss Marguerite Dickie, a grad- uate of 1925, and a former sec- retary of the Alumnae Associa- tion, who is leaving the day after Christmas for Vancouver wnere she will enter a Bible training school for six months before go- ing on in September to China as a medical missionary of the In- all the Yuletide glory was the climax of fun for the kiddies.
