Frances Nickawa, the Indian girl who has travelled around the world since her last appearance in Kings- ton, thrilled the hearts of a large audience in Sydenham street church hall on Friday evening. "I have liv- ed in civilization sipce I .was six years old," she said. "It has given a veneer but the real me is Indian, and I am proud of it. The Gitchle- Manitou made me Indian and he wakes no mistakes." With a wonderful charm and dra- matic power Miss Nickawa recited the story of "Black Thunder," the great unbroken horse of the ranges, while the audience hung ong her words. She sang in a beautifully trained voice with deep chest notes and a middle register of exquisite sweetness. Her songs were "Coming Home" and in "Ma Curly-Head- ed Baby" 'she sang an imaginary baby to sleep while every mother in the room felt like saying 'hush' lest it awaken. But charming as Miss Nickawa is in a smart French even- ing frock. she is in her Cree costume a splendid type of what an Indian woman can be with the love of beau- tv inherited in her race, the poetry of life in her every movement and her response to the call of the wild in her words and geétures. She told of coming back to her people and the smile of the Indian who greeted her, "A smile like 'the breaking of winter by the Chinogk wind," she said as, with hér wonderful power of mimicry, she made a sound, faint and far away but coming nearer till the soft wind melted the snow and in a few hours it became a river. Then with Mr. Harry Hill as an accompanist, Frances Nickawa, the Indian woman, told in Longfellows' world-famous words, the story of Hiawatha's wooing of the lovely Laughing Water, and her death in the dread winter famine and the au- dience held their breath as the story learned in their childhood took on a new meaning and Hiawatha's hope that he and his beloved Minne- haha would meet in the land of the hereafter showed that he had in- dead touched God's right hand in the darkness and was lifted up and strengthened."

A Hat-Checker's Philosophy. "A hat girl is a good one to try out those tricks an, Jimmie, for she's de- fenseless. There's only once in a while that a Sir Galahad or whatever his name was, like you, comes to her defense. I've often wondered how in the {world Mamf® could stand all the slush that's handed out to her and not get her hands frosted as well as a frozen face. She just smiles at 'em, Jimmie, , and doesn't hear a word they say. I asked her once if she hadn't stuffed her ears with cot- ton and she said: "No, dear, but I just draw my hearing inside of me and I don't hear a thing unless it's a sentence that has the word "hat" in it." "Yes, Judy, Mamie's a great girl, isn't she? But just now I want to NEWS AND VIEWS FOR WOMEN READERS jcouver Island arriving at Victoria, | B.C., on April 26th.

That the energetic young secretary of the Y.W.C.A., a Kingston girl and Queen's graduate, Miss Bessie Ettin- ger, has arranged, with the help of several experts in such matters the first series of classes for the instruc- tion of girls and women in the art of home making in a general way to be held in Kingston, Wa have had classes teaching the various parts of this very necessary art, but after girls have learned to cook certain dishes and to make hats, there arg still many things to be learned. Girls wishing to enter good homes as do- mestics can learn many things from these Wednesday afternoon classes. That Sundiy is the fifth Sunday in Lent, otherwise Passion Sunday. The week "following is called Passion Week. The word passion is used in its old English sense, meaning suf- fering, and the events in the life of our Lord studied at this time are those of the beginning of his suffer- ings that culminated in the sacrifice of Calvary. The sixth Sunday in Lent is called Palm Sunday and celebrates the entry into Jerusalem of the Christ, "meek and sitting upon an ass." The Last Supper, with the institution of the Holy Communion, and the agony in Gethsemane are the events commemorated on Thurs- day of that week which is called Holy Week and on Good Friday. Chris- tendom pauses in its work and its play to kneel at the {oot of the cross on which the Son of God was cruci- fled. ---------- 'Women forgive more easily than men.
