One way they do it is to read aloud the story as it appears on the screen. Most of those who attend the mov- ing picture theatres in Kingston can read and they don't care to hear the story read to them. Another annoy- ing habit is that of telling your cont- pasion in an audible voice just what fs coming. Something like this: "I saw this in Torofito, you see the hero gots taken to jail. No, he was inno- cent, of course, but the evidence was against him. Yes, she remained true to 'him. Oh it all comes out right in the end." These are the véry things that make the thrill of the picture, and no one wants to be told all abopt it. There are some funny mistakes that come especially under the no- tice of woman's page editors. Both frequently occur in descriptions of weddings. We read that "the resn: ist. 'played the wedding march Lohengrin." Now "Lohengrin" is an opera written by Wagner and the "Bridal Chorus" from that opera is frequently played by the organist as the bride enters the church, so fre- quently 'indeed, that the frivolous sometimes name it "Here comes the bride." The other odd mistake is to refer to a bouquet of flowers at- tached to the, 'bodice as "the cor- sage." The word corsage, means a covering for the body and is of French -derivation. When you say a lady wore a corsage of sweet peas, you are saying that her bodice was made of these flowers. ' What one does say is « 'corsage bouquet," meaning a bouquet worn on the cop- sage, not carried. : = -- Mas That one of the most interesting events of the Urban Trustees' con- vention recently held in Belleville was the visit of those met in con- yvéntion to the Ontario School for the Deaf. This school is simply and purely a public school for the deaf children of the province, as other schools are for those who can hear.

CATASTROPHE. I thought I was going to faint. I knew that'my bag had been there on the table before me just the minute before. Then I rememberéd that a particularly flashy man had stopped at my table as though to speak to me and I had turned my face away for fear that he would oblige me to make some sort of a demonstration before the could be persuaded to leave. 3 Frantically I looked about the table and room, before I realized how silly it was, for I knew positive- ly that the man Had taken niy bag. Then it seemed to me that every- thing except despair had gone out of this world. : I upbraided myself for doing such a foolish thing as draw- ing my money out of the bank, and then I forgot everything except the fact that I was ih a strange town, penniless and alone. . Unsteadily, I got up from the table and made my way to the dres- sing room. I had grown panic stricken at the thought that I had no plate to lay my head 'that night, 'for I did not dare go back to the hotel and tomorrow morning have to tell them that I had not a cent in the world. A feeling of nausea crept over me and I fell down in a chair. The dressing room attendfnt came up ta me and. said: Ls "What's the matter, dearie?" Oh, how I hate that "dearie." T disliked it "before, but when I found thy money was gone, it seemed as though -I could not bear it. ; "Finally T managed to tell the wo- man that I had lost my money. "Never mind," she said. 'I'll give you a nickle to call your family on the telephone and then they can come after You." I thanked her but found it impos- sible to make any explanations and with a great effort of will, I manag- ed to ride and bathe my face in cold water, . While I was doing this, the at- tendant was called to the door and I heard her say: "Yes, I think the young lady is in here. She Says she's lost her money." My heart sank lower than ever at this. I realized it was the walter and that I owed for my dinner and could not pay. The attendant said: : FU "Your dessert is waiting, miss." "I don't want any dessert," I answered wildly. . The woman looked at me suspi- ciously I thought and she said again: "Don't worry, dearie. 11 loan you the nickle to telephone your friends if you have lost your money." rr ---------------- " KING'S DAUGHTERS, came back and Annual Meeting of the City Union Held on Wednesday. The annual meeting -of the City Union of the King's Daughters was | held in Sydepham street hall on Wednesday afternoon. The reports of the Lend-a-Hand Circle and of the Charity Circle were heard show- ing an immense amount of work done for the community and also for missions. The Food and Fuel de- partment of the Charity Circle, which during the last thirty-one years has been of such inestimable benefit to the people of Kingston, reported $2,406.91 saved during the summer of 1925 by the women who are visited weekly by the members of the circle, and given back in food and fuel bought to the Ereatest ad- vantage by the circle. Mrs. ©. C. Abbott read a resoln- tion voicing the sorrow of the 5. le- ty at the death of their late secretary Mrs. M. R. Davis, while the mem- bers remained standing. A letter was read from Mrs. Burnett, the prov- incial secretary, ac¢epting the invi- tation of tht Kingston Union to hold the provincial meeting of the King's iiss Nan Skinner gave a most interesting informal address om the work of the Itallan Mission in Mon- treal of which she is a voluntary worker. She spoke of the thrift and cleanliness of the Ttalians and of their generosity to their visitors. The Mission was formed to. assist these stiangers in Canada ead to help word | Daughters in Kingston in Cetober. | them to become Canadians. The vic- itors are most. welcome and true hos- pitality is to be found in their sim- ple homes. The officers for the ensuing year were elected as follows: President, Miss G.
