Another wo- man, who is lame for life from a fall on the streets of Kingston, says ce at the first thaw and is a men- ace to the pedestrian. There are two sides to every question. That teachers and parents should warn children constantly about see- ing that the way is clear before they cross the street. On Wednesday a little girl of about eight years ran out on the street directly in front of a passing motor whose driver for- tunately. saw her in time to stop, not an easy thing to do with the streets in the slippery condition they were in owing to the light snowfall That the high collar is becoming more and more prevalent and It gives an, undeniable chic to. the straightline costume, ' That a suggestion was made by one of the members of the Hart House String Quartette which may bear fruit in the future. It was that those Interested im chamber music should form a club which would give them so many concerts in the season for théir membership tee which would purchase a ticket, transferable at will to other mem- bers of the family or to friends. If a mem#ership of one thousand could be gecured, three concerts would be provided. . The membership would be $1 which would bring the cost of each concert down to thirty-three cents. There would be another ad- vantage in this method of providing really good music at a small cost-- there would always be a good house to inspire both artists and audience. It you could not go yourself, you would pess the ticket on to some one else. But then you would go when possible, for when a concert was to be given it would be your coneert brought by you and you would see that you had no other en- gagement. Think too of the advant- age to the young people of the study of good music, the understanding tor the finer points of the technique of the artists, and intelligent inter- est in the programme. Then with this there could be a description of the composers' works, which were being played, and théir meaning. Fisher-Hitchcock Wedding.

C.C.M., ATCM. Miss McLeod, wearing a charming frock of blue lace with rosettes of ostrich fea thers, appeared at the opening of the programme and explained that the songs she would presently sing were meant to {interpret the very real joys and troubles of childhood, the humanity which is hidden in plant life and the old, old dreams. of fairyland. She vanished to Te- appear a few minutes later as a fairy queen in a spangled white frock, her golden hair bound with a silver band that held the star on her brow in - place, and at once charmed the audience with her love- ly volce, sweet and clear on the high notes, and rich and full in the middle register; her beautifully clear enunciation and 'the exceed- ing grace of her lissome figure. Per- haps the favorites of this group of songs were "A Fairy Went a-Mar- keting" and ""There are Fairies at the Bottom of the Garden." Miss Elsie Williamson, the clever little daughter of a musical house has already made a"name for her- self as a pianist and was heard with pleasure in "Danse Negre" (Cyril Scott) and "In The Canyon" and "Sprites in the Glen" (Charles Den- nee). Then a slim fairhaired boy in a black suit and Eaton collar ran onto the stage, and behold, it was Miss McLeod, who came on to sing a group of songs which cleverly show- ed the various phases of boy life. Loud applause greeted each song and when the pretty boy turned a few moments later into a golden chryanthemum the audiencé enjoy- ed the group of flower and bird songs; the sad fate of the "Naughty Tulip" and the wooing of the "Little Brown Owl." Another change and Miss McLeod was a school girl in a gingham frock and a big bow in her hair, who dusted the chairs with her Mttle yellow duster and wore the made over clothes of her elder sisters. "Little Orphan An- nie," Whitcomb Riley's immortal words set to music by Needham, brought forth rounds of applduse. Misy M ret Newlands, who was da jn her French doll dance, presented Miss id swith 4 lovely bouquet of roses and a huge box of sweets, Mr. Harold Singleton sang two songs In splendid voice and res- ponded to an encore and Mr. Don- ald La France played several much enjoyed violin numbers. Dressed in Hawaiian costumes with flowers in their flowing hair, Miss McLeod, Miss Betty Fair and Miss Norine Franklin gave three guitar selec- tions and received loud applause. Mrs. A. R. B. Williamson, Mus. Bac., played the accompaniments and as usual added much to the pleasure of the audience by the per- fection of work.

I love to sée the mighty shops,-- The fancy shops, the thriving shops, And walk, alone with my cigar, And by the sights be stirred.
