In addition to the good manners detailed. in the command- ments, there also is something sail | about an eye for an eye and a tooth | for a tooth.

'The average Canadian to-day has consid- | erable chivalry, ! i to-day without i PROGRESS OF WOMAN. In all directions. there are evid- | | eénces that women are pushing earn- | estly forward to have and to hold their newly acquired rights. In this | | country they already have a member | in the house of commons, and sev- | | eral of them have found seats in| provincial legislatures. The, Mumber | of appointive positions of which thay | are already in possession is large) | and the Indications are that it will £0 on increasing. In short, the sway | of woman in Canadian public life 1s | plainly destined to be pervasive and | powerful, been eligible to county councils and the other different bodies engaged in the work of local government. | More recently they have won their way into the house of commons. For the present, they are Stopped from | membership bf the house of lords, | but the wobbling attitude displayed {on the question of their admission by the committee on privileges is | sufficient warrant for the assump- | tion that the barriers will ere long | be let down, | Even more symptomatic of the | trend of the times is the news from Rome that the pope has disregarded fie conventions 'of centuries by in- | stalling in his own apartment a wo- | man as house-keeper and wardrobe maid. What this move. may ulti- mately portend it is impossible to | say, but it is not without significance | that in other Christian sects women | have been recently admitted to ad- | ministrative posts and to the minis- try itself. In vain did John Knox | protest against the "Monstrous regi- | ment of women." Time was when ab- besses attended ecclesistical councils and presided over joint houses of monks and nuns. In this respect | there is no inherent improbability iu the supposition that the wheel may come again full circle. Se ---------- A FOOLISH ENQUIRY. | Scientists do ocassionally under- | take strange missions, depending on the result for justificaticn of their expenditure of money, time and en- ergy, but surely no body of men ever entered on a more quixotic enter- prise than the fourteen savants who have banded. themselves together with the object of determining the causes of the recent world war. Every one knows these causes with- oul' elucidation from scholars, Low- ever eminent. For all practical purposes, they might as well try to decide why two and two make four. It the enquiry had as its motive the prevention of future wars, which is just what the world needs as much as anything else at the present time, it would be intelligible and de- Serve encouragement, but apparent- |r the sole objective 1s to lay the blame for those four years of terror | where it belongs, either upon the | Allies or the central powers. What | good will thé do? The war is over, and it will serve no useful end to de- cide scientifically who was respohs- ible for it, even if the investigation leads, according to promise, to dely- ing into the musty records of the na- tional libraries of Europe in order. to establish or confirm theories regari- ing the origin of international anti- pathies. Conceivably, the outcome of such delving might be productive of great harm in leading to a renew- al 'of hostile feelings long since lost in oblivion, and then the last case would be worse than the first. It strikes the . impartial outsider that these learned gentlemen couli easily find a more suitable outlet for thelr abilities than the conduct of what can be at best but a profit less investigation, ot Dispatches from Ireland are { meagre now.

Arthur, daugh- ter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Arthur, Inverary, to J. Roy Gordon, son of Byron Gordon, Glenvale, was cele- brated in the home of the bride's parents on Wednesday, June 7th The youthful bride given away by her father, looked charming in he: wedding gown of cream Spanish lace and pearls, draped over an under- dress of baronet satin. She wore a beautiful bridal veil caught with or- ange blossoms. Her only ornament was a string of pearls with diamond and platinum clasp, the gift of tha groom. The ceremony was performed by Rev. R. Calvert; Owing to the recent deep bereavement family only a few of the most inti- mate friends were' present, among them the bride's grandfather and grandmother, who last year celebrat- | ed their sixtieth wedding anniver- In Great Britain women have long | sary, and the groom's grandmother, | who has passed her eighty-fifth birthday. The bride is an honorary graduato of Sydenham high school, capturing the Old Boy's scholarship. She is ar undergraduate of Queen's and be- longed to the 1923 Arts class.

They expect to return the early part of next week after which they will go to Deloro for a time, FARMERS ARE JUBILANT. Over Increased Cheese Prices--In- verary Budget of News. Inverary, June 8.--Rev.
