LINDEN NO amY, Ean €onveyancing Collecting General Practice DRYDEN GNTARIO I the prize for the rilliant Gathering at Masquerade EE wo THE Masquerade Ball held in the Mill Hall last Monday attrac- ted an immense gathering from all over the district. Softened lights, delightful music, charming dresses, and endless variety of costumes created an atmosphere of "illusion that negatived the crude realities of daily existence. A fire that occurred last Friday in the Supply house in Winnipeg which provides the costumes pre- vented some from securing the characters they desired; but many ingeuious contrivancesswere em- ployed to overcome this handicap. At the last moment Tom Proud- foot managed to secure most of the costumes required to replace those destroyd in the fire, and the result was the most brilliant dis- play of life and color ever seen in Dryden. The hall was tastefully dng ted, adding to the beauty of the picture, the finat touch of idealism being given by the soft glow of the floodlights, under the control of Charlie Harris. Reddie Beddome and his jazz band furnished the most seductive music, which/ was several times: encored by the dancers, No one is =ver too old to take delight in the realm of make- o believe. And the Masquerade gives the opportunity to indulge for a moment our desire to be- come what we would like to be. To the girl who dreams of being La Princess, here is the chance for one night to allow full play to her imagination ; the opportunity to occupy the role of one of his heroes. IEven the grotesque or comical costume is the expression of a desire to pro- vide pleasure and amusement for others. Through it all runs the social instinct to ignore the sordid part of life, and to play together with lightsome hearts. It would indeed be a calamity for the race iP we could forget or outgrow the desire for playfulness. . : Burgess & Walters again pro- vided the lunch, and served light refreshments during the evening. The prizes given by the Orch- estra for the best dressed couple were won by Mr H. Adair and Mrs. D. Reid, in full Highland costume of Gordon tartan.

Death was the result of a complete apoplectic stroke after an illneSs of only five hours. Ap- parently in good health and spirits on the day before, she was suddenly stricken late in the even- ing of Panda, and despite the care of the doctér who remained with her during the night, she passed away in the early hours of Monday morning. Although not in the best of health for some months past, she had remarked lately on how much better she felt, and seemed very open of regaining her strength. She had asked her daughter and husband, Mr and Mrs ir] Lane, to come to Dryden and relieve her bilities, and they reached here only a few days previous to her death. Mrs Smith has been a promin- ent figure in the life of Dryden since she came here with her hus- band, the late David R. Smith, the first postmaster of Dryden, in May, 1897. © Less than a year later she was suddenly left a widow with six small children. She was appointed to succeed her husband in charge of the post- office, which she has, held since. Facing the world bravely, old- timers will recall the hard strug- gle she\had to increase herincome Beyond \the small allowance to meet the needs of her young family. Thot she suc- ceeded so well is the tribute borne to-day i in all honor to her memory by her many friends and neich- bours. ; for while her own prob- s called for high courage and »nstant effort, she could still ind opportunity to be a friend to any in distress or need, and to such-- and to all with whom she came in contact--her cheerful disposition and kindness were indeed a bless- ing. / Mrs Smith was born at Aurora, Ont., October 17th, 1863, and was the daughter of the late Donald McKay, Master of Mathematics Walkerton High School. To mourn her loss she leaves her daughters, Mrs J .Vyse and Miss Hazel, Winnipeg; Mrs G. Meers, of Macleod, Alta.; Mrs D. Lane, Alma and Aldra at home. besides three brothers and five sisters -- one of whom, Mrs A. Upton, lives in D ryden. The Service. Service was = held at Union Church at 2 o'clock Wednesday afternoon, eorilested by Rev. G. Robins, pastor, and Rev. Robt. Wilson of St Luke's. The Church was crowded with sympathisers, come to pay their last respects to a dear friend, while 'the casket, beautifully adorned with many floral tributes placed by loving hands, rested in front. From the Church a large cor tege followed to the cemetery, while every mark of respect was shown by the citizens of Dryden, the stores being closed during the afternoon, and the flags at half- ast. Mrs Smith was laid to rest by the side of her husband, who was the first to be buried in Dryden = cme Germ. The cord harvest this year.
