F. Woodsworth, Kobe, Japan, Mrs. I. H. Breck, Miss Ireland, Miss Edna Lockett, Miss Going and Miss Georgina Ettinger, The tables were arranged in the form of a T and those at the head table had a pretty pic ture to look at. Bright young business girls, with their eager faces crowned with gay paper caps from the crack- ers at each place were ready for fun, and the songs between the courses of the excellent dinner were heartily sung. 7 Miss Myrtle King introduced Mrs. Woodsworth, who "spoke in a bright conversational way of conditions in Japan beginning with the work of the ¥Y.W.C.A. organized fifteen years ago by Dr. Caroline Macdonald, the only woman to receive an honorary doc- for's degree from the University of Toronto, The buildings of the "Y"" at Tokio and Yokahama were wrecked in the earthquake and have not been re- stored as yet, but good work is being done dnd a summer camp is held year- ly, not unlike the camp at Fort Henry Cove, where the Kingston "Y" girls d so many happy hours. Mrs. Woodsworth gave an interesting des- -gription of the manners and customs Ci. - of the Japanese whose ambition is to be-among the great powers. An edu- cated Japanese gentleman had said that Japan could never be reckoned as a great power while her women were so unlike the women of the other great powers. The speaker told in her inter- esting way, of the life of a Japanese woman, her house, her dress, even a Japanese edition of the dress of the foreigners. It was of interest to Mrs. Woodsworth's hearers to notice how she always referréd to herself and oth- er English speaking people as "foreig- ners." 2 When this fascinating talk was fin- ished, Miss Olive Drury moved a vote of thanks to the speaker seconded by Miss Irene McCullough, and heartily endorsed by the guests, whose absorb- ed faces had spoken plainly of their interest in this glimpse into the life of the people of the Flowery Kingdom, Miss Myrtle Stagg. whose beautiful contralto is always heard with pleasure by the members and honorary members of the club and their guests, sang two of Tennyson's songs, "Break, Break, Break," and "Sweet and Low," to her own sympathetic accompaniment. The National Anthem and some of the camps songs and yells from the thirty guests brought this exceedingly pleas- ant evening to a close. . . . Although Tuesday did not suggest the ideal winter weather for the curl- ers, the ladies Elubroom of the King- ston Curling Club was a pleasant place to linger, to play bridge and té have a cup of tea poured at the table cen- tred with a silver basket filled with pink and white carnations and further adorned with two tall pink candles in silver sticks, by Miss Betts, The ladies assistifig were the members of the ex- ecutive, Mrs. R. N. F. McFarlane, the president, Mrs, W. Moore the secretary treasurer, Mrs. H. F. Mooers, Mrs. Francis King and Mrs. W. Linton. On the table in the centre of the room was a handsome silver trophy cup given to the ladies by the men of the club.

In "Merrie England" this festival was known as "Twelfth Night" or "Little Christ- mas" and some of us in Canada can remember the last of the Christmas puddings and the mince ples appear- ig at \linner on "Twelfth Night." The special religious meaning of the festival is that it shows that Christ Was not only the God of the Jews but of the Gentiles, who were led by the guiding of a star to his birth-place as the Judean shepherds were led by the message of ghe angelic host on the first Chrigtmas morn.
