A bright young nurse took us into the mew rooms, with their cheerful chintz hangings, shining bathrooms and pretty furni- ture, and then to the sun parlor where some patients were enjoying a view of the lake and a change from the room, that attractive as it 1s, grows monotonous as the days of its occupation grow into weeks. Then we were taken down a passage to the new service building = where things are up-to-date and' the Kkit- chen an attractive place with big copper boilers, a potato pareing ma- chine, and a dish washer, the flagged floor and shining enamelled tables making the presence of a germ of any kind impossible. The diet kit- chen, where some of the nurses were preparing trays fof the patients, was also the pink of neatness, and the trays and their contents just what should be sent to a sick room.

MAY GET ORDER OF MERIT There is an agitation in Great Bri- tain to admit Ellen Terry, the famous| actress, to the Order of Merit, the most exclusive order in the Empire, in recognition of her unique career.

Reed, M.P., and Mrs. Reed at Harrowsmith. The United Farmers' Association of Frontenac gave a reception for W. 8. Reed, M.P., and hig bride in the town hall at Harrowsmith on Thursday evening on the occasion of their return from their honey- moon. The hall was beautifully de- corated with flags and streamers. Mr. and Mrs Reed occupied a place on the platform and about three hundred persons were pré- sent representing every township from Clarendon and Miller in the north to Wolfe Island in the south. The ladies were beautifully gowned. A procession was formed from the rear of the hall to the platform and as the people filed past they were introduced to Mr. 'and Mrs. Reed, to whom they conveyed warm /greet- ings and best wishes for long life and happiness. Mts. Reed was pre- sented was a begutipgl bouquet of roses. The Harmony Six orchestra play- ed throughout the evening. A splen- did dinner was served in Fair's Ho- tel, and there toasts were drunk to "The King," "The Bride and Groom" and "Canada." Lieut=Col. F. S: Ferguson acted as toastmaster, and John D. Shibley was master of cere- monies. Nothing could deter the enthu- silastic greeting to Mr. and Mrs. Reed, who occupy a warm place in the affections of the people of Fron- tenac county. Rain fell during the afternoon and evening, 'but it did to Harrowsmith by train and motor cars, all being bent on showing their attachment te the member in giv- ing a fitting welcome to his wife. No public man in Frontenac ever re- ceived such an"ovation. Mrs. Reed was formerly Miss Moir, Bell Rock. Ernest men never think in vain, though their thoughts may be error- neous. The public mind is educated quickly by eveuts--siowly by argu- ments. 'What one of us blames in another, each will find in his own breast. Twards making a merry Christmas not keep the people away.
