To the members of the Order whose lodge-room and para- phernalia was badly damaged by the calamitous event, no less than to other citizens equally handicapped for lack of suitable accommodation, the great need of an up-to-date public hall must seem imperative and urgent. No difference of opinion exists as to the requirements of the Town itself for a building which would contain a Council Chamber properly furnished and equipped, and offices where Town: business could be conducted. An' PY <a ctings, concerts and lectures should also be provided; while the demand for accommodation for social evenings 'and dances is a constant problem. These could all be on the first floor. | The I.0.0.F. has long been conscious of the disadvantages of their present ituation, and would gladly support a properly laid out lodge-room with ad- joining antercom.

At its best, the church, with limited space and big bare walls, gives a clattery echo to all high notes of any volume, and Miss Reid met this tiring obstacle with unfailing, valiant spirit. This report would be incomplete without some reference to that com- plement of every soloist, the accomp- anist. In this capacity Mrs Rivers was heard to great advantage, giving all due support to the singer's inten- tions without ever letting the recital 'BRONZ TURKEY HENS. each $4.00. y Mrs D.
