Write or telephone to the Editor of the Woman's Page, Tele phone No. 2813, : A party of the friends of Miss | Marjorie Payne gave her a surprise party at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs, J. A. Payne, Russell street, on Tuesday evening. A mis- cellaneous shower was part of the {fun and many pretty gifts were re- ceived by the bride-elect whose mar- riage takes place this week. a MRS. A. W. SIRETT Convenor of Horticultural Committee of Frontenac W, IL "For Home and Country" is the motto of the Women's Institute and the enterprises undertaken by this, the largest international women's society known, have always the wel- fare of the homes of the country and therefore the country itself as a foundation. The 'executive 'of the district of Frontenac set themselves to consider what they would bring before the thirteen branches of this coiinty this year as an objective and, while the snow was covering the ground, con- ceived the idea of a special horticul- tural exhibit at the Kingston Indus- trial Exhibition to be held in Septem- ber, to'be put on by the Instituteg of Frontenac. Mrs. A. W, Sirett, the wife of the district representative of the Provincial Department of Agri- culture for Frontenac county; Mrs. J. D. Shibley, Harrowsmith, president of the district of Frontenac and Mrs. G. W, McNaughton, Sydenham, secre- tary-treasurer for the district, were chosen as a committee, and owing to their executive ability and tact, things are well underway. Mr. R. J. Bushell, the fair man- ager, and his directors, have in every way co-operated with the ladles and three spaces in the building have been allotted to them. Their fair well-known medical men: of a past generation, Dr. Sampson. Since the removal of the ward patients to- the new clinic building, thedé old wards that have housed patients for such a long time have been put to other uses. Yates ward, named for an- other Kingston doctor, Dr. Horatio Yates, has been made into a nurses' lecture room, and other rooms are used for the probation nurses. Early in the new year the Hospital Ald en- listed the interest of the women's societies of the city churches and with their aid have made 87 maids' aprons and 40 dresses, The sewing meetings are held every second Mon- day in hospital and tea is served dur- ing the afternoon to the busy needle- women. The work of the sewing woman of the hospital is greatly as- sisted in this way, and when the maids are completely outfitted, Mr. Fraser Armstrong.has other work for this useful auxiliary. The churches whose women workers have assisted in this good work are St. James', Chalmers, Sydenham street, Queen street, the Baptist, Cooke's and St. George's Cathedral. That every day some one tells us of the birds that are coming back to us. This week two golden orioles came back to a house in Portsmohth where all the birds are made wel- come and the mistress of this charm- ing home tells us that the pheobes are nesting in the verandah rafters. The song sparrows, who came very early this year, were overtaken by the great snow storm of Easter Eve, 7 -- The Women's Institute Horticultural Exhibit at the Kingston Fair | J. D. SHIBLEY, HARROWEMITH, President of Frontenac W. has also set aside $100 In prize money, and this has been agumented by the city merchants, the daily papers and friends of the W.I. The Kingston Hérticultural Society is taking a deep interest in this ven- ture, and especially so as all the Frontenac Institutes have joined the society by the payment of the dollar fee and are taking advantage of the advice on the cultivation of plants given in literature and lectures. The executive has bought $100 worth of bulbs and seeds which have been distributed in packages, care- fully counted by an outsider, to the Institutes, Two thousand gladioll bulbs are included in this lot and in addition, Frederick Kent, Port Perry, has given some of his choicest dahlia roots to the Institutes, and a friend has given seeds of perennials and shrubs to be distributed among the Institutes of Frontenac. The spec- ial prizes will be paid from the dis- trict executive by the secretary-treas- urer, One of the most interesting fea- tures will be the championship table decoration competition. In August the thirteen Institutes will each hold a competition of their members to see who will decorate a table most artistically and the ladiés chosen from each branch will compete at the 4 £0 " x Fy A dian mutiny and the cotton famine. She has, however, been known to speak of the day when England rul- ed Hanover and the traction engine was one of the wonders of the age. Mrs. Turner takes a lively inter- est in all that goes on around her, and is occasionally visited by grand- children, who themselves have reach- ed a ripe old age. -------------- Home Thoughts, From Abroad, Oh, to be in England ~ Now that April's there, And whoever wakes in England Sees, some morning, unaware, That the lowest bofighs and brushwood sheaf Round the elm-tree bole are in tiny leaf, While the chaffinch sings on the or- chard bough In England--now! the And after April, when May follows, And the whitethroat builds, and all the swallows! Hark, where my blossomed pear-tree in the hedge Leans to the fleld and scatters on the clover t Blossoms and dewdrops--at the bent spray's edge-- That's the wise thrush; he sings each song twice over, Lest you think he never could re- capture The first fine careless rapture! And though the fields look rough with hoary dew, All will be gay when noontide wakes anew The buttercups, the little children's dower Far brighter than this 'satidy melon- flower.

L fair, when Miss Mildred Galbraith, Toronto, president of the Ontario Rose Society, will be the judge. A great interest in this exhibition is being taken in the county and in every report received from the In- stitutes it is referred to. This effort for home and country will be fraught with great advantages. Nof only will a love of beauty be increased but yards that have been unfenced, a gathering place for cattle, will be turned into lovely gardens and in- stead of being a breeding plate for flies, will be filled with fragrant flow- ers. Then, too, the butter and egg money, usually the portion of the farmers's wife and daughters will be augmented for flowers, are the better for frequent gathering and the city folk who have no gardens of their own will be able to buy on the King- ston market fresh flowers grown in their own county. The property of the flower-growers will also increase in value, for a farm with a pretty farmhouse set in a well-cultivated garden will sell for more money than a farm with a neglected bare-looking house. The fair will have an added attrac- tion this year, for most people love flowers and much interest is sure to be aroused by this forward move- ment of the women of Frontenac.
