That the studenfs 6f Queen's are deep in examinations and in a short time will have left for their homds.

"The women of Canada are the most privileged women of the world," gaid Mrs. Larke, "and it is our privilege 'and duty to see that the gospel is carried to them." Mrs. Larke stated that while in some places there seemed to be no dearth of workers, yet there are some districts where the work is great and there is 'no one to carry it on. In this connection she urged all "to ba lifters and not leaners," and not to put anything in the way of those who are willing to work. '"And if we are working real hard; we cannot help but be interested. 'Mrs. Larke said, and we can smile we cannot do anything else, and so 'make someone happy. The greet thing is to be enthusiastic, and love creates enthusiasm. Get it, by trying to follow out God's plan for us." Mrs. Joliffe, president of the so- ciety, took charge of the meeting and read instead of a scripture lesson, "Life's Springtime," a very touching and appropriate little poem. Miss Tweddell sang a beautiful Easter solo. Just before the offering was taken, Mrs. Walker read some verses which fitted in, very nicely with the Easter thankoffering. As a result pt the meeting $224 was raised. A very pleasing feature of the pro- gramme was the presentation of life membership certificates to the fol- lowing: Mrs. J. 8. Lyons, Mrs. J. A Miller, Mrs. M. B. Baker and Mrs. ¥. R. Anglin. ¥ At the close of the meeting tea was served by the social committee MOTHERS, | And Their Children A Good Thing To Know, One Mother Says: Many mothers do not know that a baby should never be encouraged to hold 'up his own head until he is four months old, or to sit up until he is six months old.

LONDON CONCERT #g» APPEAR AT GRAND And Give a Splendid Perform= ' ance--Every Member of : the Company an Artist. -- On Monday evening a company of .| British artists swayed the (all too 8$dim) audience in the Grand Opera House as they willed. Laughter or tears were theirs to command, and the house rocked with laughter at the fui made by Mr. Tom Copeland in his kilts and Miss Susétte Tarr, the charming English soubrette, or listened with tear-dimmed eyes to the dear old songs of the homeland. Every member of the company is an artist and together they are by far the best concert company that King- ston has been givea an opportunity of hearing, at least for some years. This clever company provides an evening enjoyment for everyone. For the musical critic there is exquisite tone and well nigh Ftoct -tech- tleft by the fluid. Answered Letters, M. P.

At least it is worth trying. Mrs. N. C.: "Could you tell me how to paint or enamel my iron bed so tfat it would resemble wood and mately my other bedroom furniture?" Answer: Go to your hardware merchant and ask him jto explain "gralning" to ; you--thp process which is used on floors to make the paint appear to have the natural grain of wood, This process con- sists of putting on a coat of light tan first, letting it dry, then putting on a coat of brown and, while this brown is still wet, running a rubber "'graining tool" over it so as to let some of the light tan paint show through the brown-----thereby giving the effect of the grain of wood. E.

Mrs. J. 8.: "One of your readers wished for this recipe for Potato Pancakes: Grate three or four large raw potatoes and beat into this grat- ed potato two eggs (one at a time); season with salt to suit individual taste and' fry the mixture in deep, hot fat. Stir the batter each time you take a little of it to fry. Ap- plesauce or Huckleberries should ac- company these pancakes."

Wilfred Virgo, tenor, and Ri- chard Alexander, baritone, are ex- cellent and Miss Molly O'Mobre' de- lighted everyone, not only the Irishmen in the audience in "Hills of Donegal." Her voice Is singularly sweet and she sings with the ease which marks the perfor- mance of these British artists. From the minute Miss Tarri gave er roguish smile at the audience she held them in the hollow of her pretty hands and even after her re- sponse to the applause "Nervous" brought forth, they were loath to let her go. But Miss Tarri is not only charming and full of fun, she has a lovely soprano, high, sweet and clear. Miss Dorothy Alwynne, the vio- linist played exquisitely on her very | fine instrument. Her fingering and bowing were a delight and her sym- pathetic rendering of '"Hejrie Kati," (Huhay), one of 'the 'bést nunrbers on the programme. She responded to the enthusiastic applause with '"Ab- sent)" and when urged further, with some old-fashioned reels. A One of the most delightful parts of this altogether delightful enter- tainment wag the accompaniments played by Miss Joan Duff, the six- teen year old pianist, who unfortu- nately owing to cramp In her slen- der fingers which draw such beauti- ful music from the keys, was unable to play her plano numbér. The cello is a eplendid instrument, and Wal- ter Nunn is an excellent cellist and his numbers were much enjoyed. And then Tom Copeland, who kept the house in roars of laughter, from | the first moment of his appearance, in a highland costume, who sings splendidly, one would be' afraid to say just how far down in the bass he can go, wha plays the piano and gave a final high note with his foot, when he and, Miss Tarri sang and played "When' Paderewski Plays the Baéby Grand," and the house shouted with laughter; who tells Scotch sto- ries no one ever heard before and at the end 'of the splendid pro- gramme, which had been lengthened by the generous response of.the ar- : must be avoided, torpid iver, non result. A cr A rly tists to the vigorous applause, said that in spite of the small audience on this, their first appearance in Kingston, the company would come back in two weeks to play a return engagement if they felt those who had heard them would help to fill {the house. A storm of applause tes- {tifled that the audience that had spent guch a delightful evening would come again and bring their friends with them.
