As the weather was fine a 'large number utilieed the occasion for an outing on the river. Under the auspices of the Ladies' Auxiliary of the Catholic Lit- erary and Athletic Club a very en- joyable garden party was held last evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs, John Boyle, Front of Leeds and Lans- downs township, near Gananoque Janstion. A goodly number went out by FI. R. and many more by auto. The Misses Rebecca Lutz and Mayme Bren@en and the Mesdames Frank Latsband Wilfred LaQue were the committee in charge of the affair. The provisional board of directors of the Gananoque Co-Operative So- ciety hich has been canvassing the working men of the town for the dis- posal of stack in that organization, hag Mét with success and within the past three weeks has disposed of a suffieient amount to warrant their ap- | plication to the government, and through their Secretary, Thomas W.

Another Phase of the Chaos In o Russia '*I have seen the Russian officers of Denikine's army still wearing the uniforms of the old regime," writes Arnaldo Apolla in Gazzetta del Popolo. Much is to be learned from* this fact alone of their psychology. The success of Gen. Denikine's forces in the Caucasus has almost upset their minds, and made them arro- gant foward their men. They pre- sume to freat them again as slaves, which was one of the principal rea- sons, in fact, of the revolution, They think they have come back all of & sudden to the days when they could box the ears of a soldier, kick him with impunity, and see him turn and salute them and thank them for have Ing punished him. The most absorbing question de- bated by them at present is not the re-conquest of Russia, but whether they should wear epaulettes or net, as they did in the old regime. Fac tions have been formed. One is for the epaulettes and the other is against the épaulettes. They make appeals to Gen. Denikine to issue an order to abolish them, and contrary factions send letters begging him to | retain them as the only symbol of Russian greatness. Poor officers! { Thus a question which at most is one of simple military regulation becomes with them a constitutional and na- tional program. of Russians. Ekatedinodar, the seat of Gen. Denikine's headquarters, is a verit- able babel. The 90 generals and the 1,100 colonels, and the 30,000 of- cers of other rank are all talking | Many of them claim dis- | epaulettes, tinctions and rank to which they evi- dently have no right, but everything is accorded them. The trouble is that | nobody in that army wants to be a private, all want to be officers, Nat- | urally, the 50,000 real soldiers in the | army begin to show their discontent. { Here in Odessa we have had the | faction of Mme, Denikine, who was pitted against the faction headed by the wife of another general, who at one time commanded the Cossacks of | The Cossacks of the Don | made Gen. Denikine an honorary Cos- | sack and Mme. Denikine thereupon | the Don. suppressed her rival with the meth- ods used in the days of Rasputin. One of the princesses here is typi- | cal of many of her class. She goes about with a coronet of jewels worth | more than 1,000,000 rubles, seems | perfectly indifferent to the loss of | her vast estates and fortunes, and | amuses herself with the rest of her | class here, in frivolous pastimes. An- | other is divorced from her husband, | who is drinking himself to death; she has married a second time a brilliant officer in the new volunteer army, and is seen at every party. Another princess succeeded In reaching this town with her jewels and nothing else; her mother has been killed by the Bolsheviki, her sons have been scattered, she 'does not. know where, and she is seen at every banquet. Another, who has long ago been divorced and married again, has lost all the children of her first marriage, and is to be seen going around with four of the second marriage, and the latest, a little baby, in her arms. She was once a lady attendant of the Empress, and seems not to have the slightest idea of the depth to which she has fallen. There 'are people here who seem to have no longer a proper notion of the past and the present, of what they have lost and of what they can recover. French ladies avoid them #8 a pest; the wives of British and other Europeans flee from them. ------------------ A lct of people are algavs dress parade before review time. thn tn en on v Lord. % They do not realize | that these outward symbols are the | very things which made them hated | and detested by the great majority | ' Lake Louise. To the ancients all roads led to Rome, and it was the ambition of young and old to behold the "Eier- nal City" and fits wonders. Nov. however, one might say it is the ambitidn of every Canadian to behold the "Eternal Snows", and as the Appian way led to Rome, so' the great iron road, the Canadian Pacific Railway, leads to the Rocky Moun- tains, Canadians have a wide field to pick and choose from in the mat- ter"of places to spend holidays, but the 'West has an attraction all its own. Lake 'Louise is one. of the many beauty spots in the Rocky Moun- tains, and a trip West is not con- sidered complete without a stop-off there. Lake Louise is one of the Lakes' in the Clouds (the others being Lake Agnes and Mirror Lake) and at one time its existence was only known to the Indians. Now however, thanks to the enterprise of the C.P.R., it is visited by thousands of tourists yearly, the railway pass- ing through at this point, and a palatial hotel, the Chateau, having been erected on the lakefront, affording ample accommodation. Stepping off the train at Laggan the tourist boards an electric car, which runs up the gradient to the lake, the trip only occupying twenty minutes. - The drive is a most de- lightfu! ove, the car. bcing open on both sides, affords an uninterrupted view. of the wonderful scenery with the minimum of exertion. The Bow River is crossed by a pretty 'little bridge, and io" the early morning sunshine the waters sparkle like opal fires, tossing furiously in eddies as the river force8 its way down the valley. Arriving at Lake Loulse ore feels transported into another atmosphere, if not to another world; feelings of wonder, awe, and admiration grip the mind, compelling a reverential silence. The lake itsell is small, but a perfect gem, lying at the base of the Victoria Glacier from which it Is fed, its waters being pure turquoise in colour, that deep tur. quolise so difficait "to descrive. Be- hind the lake Mt. Lefroy towers like a giant to the heavens, reaching an altitude of over 10,000 feet---one huge mass of dazzling snow andiice, resembling the Matterhorn / in Switzerland. Mt Aberdeen and the Victoria Glacier form a background unsurpassed for grandeur, The surrounding country suggests an Alpine valley.

Faclilties can be obtained at the Chateau to escort parties going to Moraine Lake and the Valley of the Ten Peaks by automobile or car- riage; ponies can also be hired to take tourists to Lake Agnes and Mirror Lake. On the way to Moraine Lake a splendid viewgof Mt Temple is ob- tained. This mountain {s one of the highest peaks In the Rockies, rising to an altitude of 11,000 feet. Its sides resemble walls of ¢<' 1 pe, and its crest is covered with snow. At this point a fine view of the Bow selves Into slavery in order to be fed by their masters.

It is doubtful whether the efforts of the Manx Language Society to re- vive Manx as the common speech of the Isle of Man will succced, says the Manchester Guardian. Manxinen are of Celtic stock, with a strong. dash of Scandinavian, and their na- tive tongue belongs to the Goidelic group of Celtic languages, but it has failed to produce a great or an ex- tensive literature, and it has almost entirely ceased to be ken even by the peasantry, 'The Bi and prayer TRUK were translated into Manx a century and a half ago, but it is long id church Scr hore Sondusted in the vernacular. usiasm, ho er, cab accomplish wonders, and that quality Sertataly is not.
