THE FLOCKS OF SPRING. When the winter is done, and April's dawning Shatters the dark of the year, And the rain-fed rivulet under bridge Again runs clear. the And the shepherd sun comes over the hill To let out the flocks of Spring, With laughter and light in the pas- tures of air The flecks take wing. They scatter on every : wind,-- The perfume, and the bee, And the whispers of the jostling grass Glad to be free. lingering The minstrelsy of the shining pools Thexdancing of the hoursj And over the sod in a sudden rapture Flame the flowers.

That the risé in the price of meat is deplored by housekeepers. Wise women will use the many excellent meat substitutes we became accus- tomed to during the war and sp keep the family budget down to normal. The majority of Canadians eat too much meat, especially in the hot weather. That Charles D. Roberts published his first boek forty-five years ago and yet looks like a man of fifty. His out-door life in which he absorbed the intimate knowledge of the beau- ties of earth and sea which makes his nature poems so delightfully resi, has also given him a prolonged youth. i . That if cleanliness is next to God- liness it is also closely allied to good health. All the laws made for God's chosen people which can be found in the older books of the Bible were made for the protection of a half civilized racé. Read them and see if our | highly more advanced civiliza- tion has improved™upon them. Still we are getting more cleanly year by year. We have got rid of many evil law looked at with modern eyes and. interpréted in modern ways. - But we can go farther yet. The children learn many useful things in school. Don't laugh and say: "What was good endugh for my mother is good enough for me." It isn't if you have opportunities given to you your mother had not. Remember the story of the woman who tossed her head at some good advice from a trained nurse and said: "Well! I guess 1 should know something about chil- dren. Me that has buried six!" That in aid of the Quesnel, B.C., Hospital, a dance was given which had a novel feature the event of the evening was, the "bachelor's handi- cap," the ladies picked their part. ners by finding the owners of shoes thrown in the centre of the room by the male members of the party. The bachelors claimed that this was most unfair; they had not been notified of this innovation, and not havihg done any mending were forced to show the holes in their socks. WOMAN'S INSTITUTE. 1 Mountain Grove. The Mountain Grove Ladies' Aid met at the home of Mrs. James Price on Thursday, March 5th. It was a beautiful day and a goodly number attended. of the afternoon was spent in finish- ing up work left over rrom the pre- vious meeting. A quilt was also comnienced. About 4 p.m. the members with- drew to the parlor, where devotion- al exercises were opened by singing "I. Need Thee Every Hour." Mrs. (Rev.) Gall then led in prayer, af- ter which Mrs. J. Price, secretary read the minutes of the last meet- ing:~"Mrs. D. J. Cronk, president, then read a psalm, and after sing- ing another hymn, various methods regarding money matters were dis-| cussed and members were asked to have their donations for the bazaar in as early as possible. A new oven door was placed. on the range at the parsonage, for which thé "Aid" paid. Mrs. Hill, chairman of the purchasing committee, also receiv- ed five dollars to secure material for sewing.

Mrs. Loveday (Miss Nevada Best), who is ih reduced circum- stances, takes paying guests to eke out her slender income, assfited by her daughters, Grace and Lucy (Miss Doris McKay and Miss Aline Ruth- erford). The arrival of the paying guest (Miss Katy MBermingham), who is preceded by a telegram say- ing a lady answering her descrip- tion has just escaped from a luna- tic asylum, is the cause of an excit- ing scene in which Mary, the maid (Miss Jessie Torrance) does vali- ant work with the kitchen poker. "All's well that ends well," as she says. when another telegram comes to say that the escaped lunatic has been found and Miss Hardcastle is quite a harmless paying guest, after all. All the young actresses took their "parts splendidly. I; Miss Edith Carruthers, the regen of Victory Chapter, and her officers are to be congratulated on the suc- cess of their undertaking.
