Mrs. Douglas returned to Kingston about twenty-seven years ago as the bride of Robert M. Doug- las. Her bright humor and gener- ous hospitality soon gained fer her a large circle of warm friends.

Sir Joho Martin Harvey In "The Corsican Brothers" WONAK'S AUXILIARY | OF ONTARIO DIOCESE Address of President, Mrs. | Havelock Price, Who Was Re-Elected President. (By Stall Reporter.) The Wednesday afternoon | sion of the Woman's Auxiliary | Opened in St. Peter's Mall, | Brockville, at 2.15 o'clock. Many interested visitors joined the one hundred and thirty delegates and of- Dcers and the hall was filled. Mrs. H..P. Lowe, Kingston, has a table with attractive missionary literature which is a centre of Interest at the end of each session. Mrs. Havelock Price, Kingston, the president of the diocese, gave her address, referring to the suita-i i bility of Brockville as a meeting place for the W.A., the town being the centre of much of the activity of W.A. work in the diocese. She congratulated the branches on the splendid work done during the year. There was a general increase all along the line, more interest, more members, more The deanery meetings and Forward Movement have been a great hélp. However, it is the "follow up" of the Forward Movement that is the real test. This year, the W.A. was asked for the sum of $325 to make up the pledge of $10,000 which the Dominion Boprd undertook forework among. the dians, Bskimo and white settlers of the west. "You pledged yourselves to do your utmost to meet this demand, and you did it," she sald. Mrs. Randolph Hotel systematic giving. | | Price referred to the loss of Miss Lewis, who has gone to England, as treasurer, and spoke of the good fortune the board had had in secur- ing the services of Miss Winnifred Burns for the arduous post of treas- urer., She asked the branches to make her work as easy as possible by prompt returns. The pledge fund is the first call on the funds of the W.A. It is a promise to pay our share towards the budget of the year, and it must be kept up. Speaking of the Dorcas work, Mrs. Price said that since the Indian schoods have been taken over by the Indian Commission and have been re-built and enlarged, the re- sponsibility of the W.A. to clothe the children has "increased. This | summer a new school, Souix Look- out school, with eighty additional children, will be opened and a new school will also be built at Alert Bay, B.C. THe president spoke of the pledges that must be met at all costs. "They are our promises to pay," she said. She also spoke of the great world conference of the Church of Eng- land held in London, Eng., in Janu- ary, when the Bishop of Salisbury presided and the Archbishop of York was one of the speakers, and who Sir John Martin-Harvey, ofie of the outstanding' legitimate stage actors of to-day, scored another triumph in Kingston before an audience which packed the Grand Theatre on Wed- nesday night,' Sir John's presenta- tion was "The Corsican Brothers," a tale of gripping romance in the some- what earlier days of France. It was a magnificent performance, which thrilled those fortunate enough to be present at the theatre last night, and Sir John's ability was lauded fn im- measurable volumes. Different and a- pleasant change from the perhaps too frequent order of\performances of the day, = Sir Mar- tin-Harvey's play, "The Corsican Brothers" was one to be appreciated and admired. The story of the play was founded on the love of two Corst- chn brothers for the same lady, Emilie de Lesporre, played by Lady Martin-Harvey. The brothers, Fa- bian and Loufs, both madly in lovg with their united choice, love this girl with a devoted love, such as be- speaks the highest devotion, But she is married to a wealthy Parisian. Still clinging to their love for the gir}, the brothers separate, Louis going to Paris to remain near to protect her while Fabian remains in Corisca. From what follows there is drama- tic action that requires the most skill- ed acting, and ft was most certainly seen' as played by Bir Martin-Har- vey, who acted the duel role of the two brothers. Especially intensely gripping and realistic were the duel ! scenes, the first in which Louis fights for the honor of the lady and the second in which Fabian avenges the death of his brother. The play Was largely Lased on a close spiritual affinity between the Corsican broth- when the other was in danger. It was by means of this mental tele- pathy that Fabian learned of the death of Louis. The tableaux in "The Corsican Brothers" were magnificent indeed, and drew much ~ well-merited ap- Plause, ly numerous were He eur- tain calls and so. plause, Sir . on to of the performance. enie to briefly, owing indoor pien Brien owing # said that to maintain the work ot the church at its present efliciency 400 men and £25,000 sterling were needed. The president, referring to the Junior session of 'Tuesday evening, spoke of the great work being done among: the young people of the chirch and the need of sympathy from their elders. She spoke also of the need of publicity through the press and showed the advantage to be gained from letting others know of the work that was being done. In conclusion, the president said the things that made the wheels of life run smoothly were love, vision, un- derstanding and consecration. Link- ed up with our greatest problems, woven into our life, they laked us up with divinity and cannot fail. Reports Read.
