Miss Poole, librarian at the Aca- demy of Medicine, Toranto, will be A Queen's graduate in town for the Alumnae dinner, The Editor Hears That there were several points about the production of 'Leo, the Royal Cadet," that other amateur companies would do well to follow. The costumes were good, quite as good as are seen in all but very ex- pensive c¢ompanies. Then every scene was put on promptly, and the waits between the acts were no lon- ger than in a professional produc- tion. The lighting effect was excel- lent and as for the music, it was ex- ceedingly tuneful and pleasant. The choruses were well sung, the solo- ists were good, the orchestra excel- lent and there was a finish about the whole affair that is frequently lack- ing in amateur performances. That Wednesday was quite unmis- takably a real Indian summer day, a day that belongs exclusively to the northern part of this great con- tinent. THe soft air gave the soft- ness artists call "atmosphere" to the distant shore across the exquisite pearly blue of the lake. The purple shadows in the river, where the leaf- less trees are reflected, and the glor- fous sunshine we have seéh so little of lately, all tell us that the all-too- brief autumnal summer is here. That as is advertised, the King- ston public will have an opportunity of seeing just what Queen's Alu- mnae Association has accomplished in giving a splendid building to Kingston and a home to the women students of the university when Ban Righ Hall is thrown open to the citizens or Saturday afternoon. Her Bxcellency the Lady Byng of Vimy will be the guest of the Alumnae after she declares the building opep, on Monday afternoon and cards will be sent out to the members of the alumnae and the donors and mem- bers of the university staff. That many Queen's students, who live in the district, will go home for Thanksgiving, the first holiday in the autumn term. It is the first absence from home that seemis the longest, and for the boys and girls who are among the freshmen and freshettes, this holiday is looked forward to especially it home is within reach. That it is sald that when a 'bud- ding actor once telegraphed to J. M. Barrie, "Am playing Hamlet in Lon- don next Monday," the author re- plied, "Thanks for the warning." Ninety per cent. of the public in the | smaller cities to-day, if advised that 4 concert is to be given from the works of Wagner, Gluck, Beethoven, and any halfedozen others, and that they were to be presented by "'mod- ern methods," would simply smile and say in effect, "Thanks for the warning," and stay away. Not only that, but they have a sneaking belief that those who do go to such con- certs are queer kind of folk, if not a little crazy. ---------------- In Flanders Now, An answer to Lt.-Col.

Add one- fourth cup of granulated sugar, & pinch of salt, and two teaspoons of baking powder. Stir well, before adding two cups of cold, sweet milk, one well-beaten 'egg, and' one tablespoon of ielted butter. Turn the batter into a greased muffin pan and bake 20 to 25 minutes in a hot oven." Reader Friend: "Vanilla Wafers: Cream one-third cup of butter with one cup of granulated sugar and stir in one beaten egg. When well mixed, add one-fourth cup of cold, sweet milk and two and ene-quarter cups of bread flour mixed and sifted with one and one-half teaspoons of baking powder and a pinch of salt. Flavor with one teaspoon of vanilla, chill, then roll out on a floured board very thin.' Cut with a cookie cutter and bake on a buttered pan in a moderate oven for 12 minutes."

Let simmer for 30 or 40 minutes, then turn the mix- ture into a large jar and for one month stir the pickle daily, keeping the jar covered when not stirring.
