Nearly every one. of the thirteen branches of Frontenac \s entering the competition. The committee composed of Mrs. A. W. Sirétt (convenor), Mrs. J. D. Shib- ley, Harrowsmith, and Mrs. G. W. McNaughton, Sydenham, are getting flower seeds and bulbs through the provincial Department ture and each branch entering the competition will receive what they require to plant their gardens as soon as it is possible to sow the seeds. As well as a great benefit to the country, this plan will insure an attractive horticultural display at the fair. Many of the branches are joining the Kingston Horticultural Society gnd will get the benefit of in- struction on how to grow flowers. That the most irritated people in Kingston are those who "have con- sclentiously cleaned their walks when the sun melted the snow and yet have to walk through slush and water left on' the walks by their neighbors. They ask "Where are the police?" That Lady 'Allenby had a unique party of welcome in Vancouver, B.C., when a group of British Columbia women, resident in various parts of the province, honored the "Lady of Mercy" as the famous Field Mar- shal's wife was known among British soldiers during war days in Cairo. THs group of women on meeting Lady Allenby thanked her for moth- ering and caring for their husbands and sweethearts who served under ker distinguished husband in Egypt and the Holy Land. These husbands and sweethearts,' now happily settled with their families in the Okanagan Valley of Briti¢h Columbia, and on Vancouver Igland, have banded to- gether into 'a unique organization known 'as the Jaffa Gate, every mem- ber Maving passed through the Jaffa Gate into Jerusalem with Lord Al- lenby's drniy. one bobbed hair craze is an expénsive one for we hear that Eng- lan@'s "bobbing" or "shingling" bill amounts to £21,000,000 a year-- more than $100,000,000---at least some statisficians charge that ampunt to Dame Faghion's account ag iy representing the increased ampPunt of business hair dressers hive done since shingling became the style.

"No," I answered Mamie's query, "I don't want to go home if I can keep from starving here. You see, Mamie, I guess I'm not like other girls. I want to lead my life in my cwn way. I want to be independent. My father would think that I had gone straight to the devil if he knew I was workipg in a restaurant check- ing men's hats, but I will stick it out until I can find something bet- ter." . "Good for you, Julie! I knew you bad the right stuff in you the minute I saw you. If you were going to give up the very first minute that avrything comes up that makes you angry or hurts you, you're not fit to bc a working girl But I expect you're going to be a success. You'll scon learn to weathef the hard knocks I have, You were almost frightened to death at Sterns, but you were determined not to lose your nerve. "You'll work it out, old dear, and I'l help you all I can. If you can stind the gaff, stay with me on the job at the restaurant until you get a little money ahead." "Why are you so good to me, Mamie?" The words came straight from my heart. "Because--because -- oh, some- ime, my dear, I'll tell you my story. I cannot do it tonight. It's too long. We must go to sleep now." With this, Mamie Riley left me, but for a long time I was wide awake wondering what her story was. Be- hind every girl who goes out into the world to work, is there a storyr ---A story which either makes char- acler or destroys it?--Of that I was scon to learn. I found the next morning that Sellers had been over to the Black- stone telling all about me when he found I was not there. But, Mamie went over and fixed things up at neocon. She presented my order and paid my bill, asked no questions and acswered none. When her mother saw my trunks coming in, I could tell she was very much displeased. She was one of those selfish women who thought she was showing her love for her daugh- ter by making her life miserable with advice on every subject she knew nothing about. If she thought Mamie wanted to do something, it was just the reason Mrs. Riley decid- ed it was the worst possible thing for her to do. The thoment ' she saw me, she looked upon me with suspicion, and coming back from my room after I bad deposited my trunk near the closet door, I heard Mrs. Riley say- ing in that querulous voice of hers: "I can't understand why you take in a strange girl, Mamie, who will probably work you out of your job at tke restaurant. She looked like a designing minx to me." Next: Kean and Riley, Ine. i WOMEN'S INSTITUTE | INVERARY. The Inverary Women's Institute ? held their monthly meetings at the home of Mrs. C. H. Arthur on March 9th, with the president, Mrs. F. 8. Ferguson in the chair. A large num- ber answered the roll eall with a re- clipe for "How to keep Young". A very impressive recipe given by one of the young ladies was "Never get Married." The readings which was to be given by Mrs. Ira Parling and the demonstration®by Mrs. C. Loney of fancy work done in 1926 had to be cancelled owing to the {illness o ladies. The president read an ad esting papee which had been given by Mrs. A. W. Girett at the Social council of Women in Kingston. It embodied the activities of Women's Iostitutes of Frontenac Co. Owing to limited time Mrs. Sirrett was able to give merely a topical report, yet it was sufficient to show that the var- fous Institutes are very active in their work. It was resolved that the treasurer refund to the Boy's Base- the money which they have paid in at different times for the use of the piano and kitchen at| the Agricultural Hall for their en- tertainments, and that in future these were to be supplied to club free gements'" were com- pieted for the "At Home" on March 15th. A committee was 'appointed to look after the decoration of the hall for this entertainment.
