HOWARD GRAY, Solicitor for Mortgagee. S, BARRATT, Clerk ~ _ THE TIMES AND GUIDE, WESTON â€" Celia entered enthusiastically into the schemes. "And there‘s safety in numbers," said Dorrie; and wondered why a shout of laughter went up in which her father joined; for he had been an amused lisâ€" tener to the talk going on around him as he read the newspaper in his arm chair. "Dear me! I can hardy wait for Thursday to come, there is so much to talk about." Kathie wriggled imâ€" patiently in her chair as she spoke. "However shall we..get enough things made up for the sale, though?" "Oh, everyone will help. I know several little things we can make that will sell well," said Celia consolingly. If we have plenty of candy and home "Girls! Why «couldn‘t we form a club?" "A Club? What sort of a club?" "Why, Kathie, angirls‘ club of some kind." was the hesitating reply. Why shouldn‘t we all belong to some sort of society and hold meetings. Jessic could be a member, and we girls, and Mary, Jean and Ethel Lewisâ€"â€""‘ "Of course, you little gosse," said Marion,. "That makes twelve, no, thirteen of us who live near enough to each other to meet uften. We might do all sorts of things together, don‘t you think so, mother?" "I don‘t see why not. "Mrs. Bowen dropped her work and listened with interest. _ There are other girls farther out, too, who might be glad to join you. I belonged to a club myself, once upon a time, and we had some very good times together." "We had one at school, had our own officers, met every week, and every one of us enjoyed it." f "I think a club would be great fun. Let us talk it over when we meet on Thursday." "But, mother, if we formed a club we would all work together so much better. I think the girls would be much more interested." The rain was still softly falling when Celia at length left the doctor‘s house set out for the ranch, but she minded it not at all and was soon at home, where her cousins were chafing someâ€" what over her long absence. â€" â€" "I have had such a good time, girls; Jessie is a dear girl, isn‘t she?" . Mrs. Bowen assented . warmly. "You could do so much to make her life more cheerful and happy, I don‘t beleive any of you realize what lack of companionship means to, her." Kathie‘s suggestion met with favour and nothing but the proposed club was talked of until bedtime. "Don‘t have too many irons in the fire, girls!‘ warned her mother. _ I would not let anything interfere with your sale." "There is nothing in that, Marion. I really think your idea is a very good one. _ In unity there is strength, you know." ‘‘Well Celia has started the ball rollâ€" ing, we must all keep up the good work now," and Kathleen mentally reâ€" solved to do her share in the future and to no longer neglect what had always been a pleasure, . and not a duty, for the visits to the doctor‘s home had been very frequent until the last few weeks, That evening, as they amused themâ€" selves in various. ways, Marion, who had been thinking over plans for the coming conference, turned to the others with a new idea. : "And Minna Fletcher, Lois Morrison, Betty Bird, Grace Russel,â€"" and Dorrie paused for breath, _ "Could I belong too?" Something of the same thought had haunted Marion and Kathleen all day in Celia‘s absence, and. they reproached themselves for having neglected their friends because of Celia‘s coming. to Golden Acres. s The plans for the sale were talked over, Jessie being much gratified to learn that the twins had carried a numâ€" ber of notes to school with them that morning, some to be left at different homes as they walked along, others to be left with their schoolmates to delivâ€" er to older sisters at home after school hours, summoning them to a grand conâ€" ference on the following Thursday afâ€" ternoon. _ The meeting would be in the nature of a social event to the cripâ€" pled girl who seldom had an opportunâ€" ity of mingling with her neighbors and acquaintances. The afternoon wore on. _ The new designs in the needlework books were compared, new stitches were learned and the hours ‘passed pleasantly for both girls, who ‘were becoming more and | more interested in each other. Celia was persuaded to remain to sup~â€" per and thoroughly enjoyed her visit. She had taken a warm liking to Jessie and the two girls promised to become fast friends. ' Unable to go to school, Jessie had been educated by her parents to the best of their ability. _ She had a deep love for books and spent much of her time in reading. _ She was, as a result, companionable, well informed, and havâ€" ing thought much over what she read, was somewhat in advance for her years. Jessie was deeply interested in Celia‘s stories of her schoolâ€"life in â€"Toronto and the laugliter of the two girls warmâ€" ed the heart of the mother as she went about her household duties, lending an indulgent ear to their chapter. The rubber boots were slipped off, the raincoat and hat also left in the porch and a warm, rosy, brightâ€"faced girl entered the livingâ€"room. _ Jessie‘s happy face, and the cordial welcome she received from her and from her mother, repaid her for her unpleasant walk. _ The pleasure the lame girl deâ€" rived from looking through the pages of the books she had brought with her gave Celia some little insight into the narrow confines of her new friend‘s life, when so simple an act should creâ€" ate so much interest and delight. (Continued From Last Week) Jessic was seated in her chair at the hope that this new and interesting acâ€" quaintance would come. _ She had watâ€" ched the heavy clouds apprehensively all morning and when no gleam of sunâ€" shine appeared gave up all hope of seeâ€" ing her that day. Her face lighted eagerly when a blue clad form entered the garden gate and waved a dripping umbrella from the walk. _ She called to her mother that Celia had come and the door opened as she came. GOLDEN ACRES By Florence M. Kelly Mrs. Keene appeared in the doorway in answer to her daughter‘s call, and decided that it would be kind and courâ€" teous on the part of the girls to ask their new neighbor to join them. It was Betty who made the suggestâ€" ion. _ Minna jumped to her feet, eager to accompany her on her errand. 9 "But we don‘t know anything at all about her." Ethel Lewis‘s voice was doubtful. "Well, she doesn‘t know anything about us." Marion laughed as she glanâ€" ced from one dubious face to another. "She would have to take us on trust, too." : "She won‘t know a soul, supposing we go over and get rcquainted, and bring her right over to the meeting?" "Let us ask mother what she thinks about it." "Sure enough, " said Jean Lewis; you were the first new girl to come here in a long time, now another is folâ€" owing your example." "I wonder what she is like." And Dorrie rose and looked over the hedge at the little brown house further down the road, half buried in neglected orâ€" chards "Yes, I quite forgot to tell you Jessie; a new family moved in last week, a man and his wife with two children. a son and daughter. Nichol is the name." "That is all we want to know, daddy; just to find out if there really was a new girl in the neighborhood." _ "They might be honorary members and come whenever they could. _ And there is a new girl in that brown house, over near the Reserve," added Kathie; "at least, we think she is a new girl, we have seen her going in and over sevâ€" eral times lately." "If there is a new girl there she will be pretty lonesome, for she must be a stranger here," said Jessie. "I think we ought to find out about her; we did not know there were new people comâ€" ing in." He crossed the lawn towards them and smiled kindly on the assembled "‘That rare event has happened once again,. "Dr. Keene looked meaninly at Celia as he turned to go. Some of the girls looked doubtful. The brown house was situated not very far distant from Dr. Keene‘s home, and belonged to a tiny fruit farm which was badly run down for want of care. Just then Dr, Keene left his surgery, and she called to him. group. "I can‘t stay but a minute, daughter." "Daddy, is there a new family on the old Morris place?" "Are we thirteen girls all there are who could join?" asked Celia. Rememâ€" ber, I do not know the people of the neighborhood very well yet." "There are the Carswell girls, out on the Silver Creek , Ranch," answered Lois; "but I am afraid they are too far out, that is eight miles from town." The newly shorn fawn presented an animated scene. Grace was a tall, slim, fair girl, as English in appearance as though she had stepped out of an old country vicarage, as, indeed, her mother had done twenty years before. Betty Bird was a plump, darkâ€"eyed little Canadian who looked even youn‘gâ€" er than sixteen years. _ Minna and Lois, who were cousins, living on adâ€" joining ranches, were typical British Columbia girls, rosyâ€"cheeked and curlyâ€" haired, bright girls, each an only daughâ€" ter. Grace and Betty â€"lived right in Cliffview where their fathers held imâ€" portant positions in the community, the former being the daughter of the clergyman of the parish and Betty the only child of the manager of the bank. "It is perfectly splendid! . What fun we shall have!" Lois and her cousin rose and danced solemnly the full length of the grounds, in and out of the laughing group, who at length pulled them down into their chairs and bade them behave themselâ€" ves. The whole bevy of girls approved Marion‘s proposed club. _ _ "What a jolly plan!" said Grace, in her soft, lowâ€"toned voice, inherited from her mother. "I am so glad it will be held in the holidays, and I can help too. _ ‘"Dorâ€" rie‘s tone was jubilant. "You will let me help, won‘t you, Celia?" CHAPTER XIII. A curious and excited throng of young people congregated on the lawn around Jessie‘s chair on Thursday afâ€" ternoon. _ The Lewis girls, all four of them, were the first to arrive, Grace Russell, Minna Fletcher and Lois Morâ€" rison rode over on their Indian ponies. The four Bowen girls were not long in following them, then came Betty Bird, who lived sufficently near also to walk over. ; cooking we ought to have a very good sale\. Wasn‘t it kind of Dr. Keene to say that he would help us? Girls, we could make the lawn around his house look beautiful. _ Everybody who drove by would stop to see what we were doâ€" ing. If we have a fine day, people are sure to came, don‘t you think,Uncle Dan?" Uncle Dan‘s assent was hearty and prompt. _ ‘"We have so few opportunities of meeting together I am sure everyone in the neighborhood will be their." ‘"We could not get along without you," answered her cousin, giving the youngest girl of the household a warm little hug, . "Dorrie, you are to be in everything the rest of us are in." "I‘m going to help, too;" decided Philip, who had quite lost sight of the fact that it was bedtime in his interest. ‘If Davie can do things to help I can too, can‘t I ?" ©You will have your share of the work, and your share of the fun, too, Phil‘ The small boy vanished upstairs. Usually quiet, and bored by his sisters‘ company there were so many projects in hand now that he became as.absorbâ€" ed in them as the other members of the family and devoted much more of his time to his elders than he had done in the past. "Phil and Davie can help a lot."said Celia, ‘There will be plenty of work for each one of us to do before this sale is over;" a decision in which Aunt Kate heartily concurred (To be Continued) of "We are making an honest effort to improve living and economic condiâ€" tions in the district and providing work for a large number of our peoâ€" ple. I am very much gratified at the outlook and progress. From a comparatively small pipe at the northern end of the system the lower or southern division will be greatly increased to much larger diâ€" mensions, adequate for all time to come. f Pleased with Progress ‘Reeve Graham voicing the opinions of himself and the other members of Council expressed _ great satisfaction with the progress of the different works under construction. Coming from the north end near the boundary line of Weston, for the first 2,000 feet approximately, the sewer will go dgwn immediately to the east of the present pavement, after which it. crosses over to the westerly side of the Weston Road, which it mainâ€" tains till the southern terminus is reached. By the time the first 2,000 féet is down some definite action re the old Toronto Suburban line will have been reached and the rails and ties torn up andâ€"replaced temporarily or removed out of the way. Coming back along the Weston Road the work of determining the location of the sewer there was further conâ€" sidered, although from an engineering standpoint this phase of the work has been pretty well settled. The first point visited was the Rogers Road and Hillary Avenue car line district, where a large gang of men are engaged in putting on the finâ€" ishing touches to the cement work on the near approach to the Weston Road and Keele Street. On all hands great satisfaction was expressed at the rapid progress that has marked the construction of the Rogers Road line, and according to Reeve Graham, the formal opening of the line ought to take place about August 29th. $ Here the descent down the shaft, a depth of between 35 and 40 feet, was made by Engineer Proctor, accomâ€" panied by Deputy Reeve E. C. Westâ€" bury and ‘Councillor Baker, and the brick work inspected to the westward for a distance of/approximately 1,500 feet or thereabouts. The two Counâ€" cillors were greatly impressed with the character of the work, and Councillor Baker, a practical briklayer, expressed himself as perfectly satisfied with the job. From Northlands westerly only about 100 feet remain to be tunnelled before connection will be mhade with the Lee and Lapping Avenue sewer. Calling for Tenders The site of the disposal plant down near the Humber River on the Symes property was visited, as were the Lambton Avenue and Guestville diviâ€" sions where active work is being carâ€" ried on. The disposal plant site at Baby Point for which the engineers are now calling for tenders was visited and a thorough inspection made of the district in its relation to the proposed installation. Reeve W. M. Graham, Deputies Macâ€" Gregor, Clouston and Westbury, Counâ€" cillors Baker _ and McQueen, accomâ€" panied by E. M. Proctor, of James Proctor and Redfern, and Township Engineer Goedike, last week made a thorough tour of the western portion of the township, with a view to familâ€" iarizing themselves with the progress of the big development now in proâ€" gress. From this point the party visited the pumping station at the corner of Wes+ ton Road and Northlands Avenue, where the sewer work in the Northâ€" lands Avenue district has its incepâ€" tion, and where the shaft is sunk from which the tunnel is driven east and west.

The choice was made unanimous. Mr. Lippert made an éffective. speech in accepting the nomination and appealed for united support. John R. MacNicol of Toronto was the chief speaker of the day.. He appealed to the deleâ€" gates to see that a supporter of the policy of protection is elected. In concluding, Mr. Atkinson spoke of the use of music in industries. â€"In a number of factories in the United States and England, as well as in Canada, a few minutes a day were spent in a general singâ€"song. Many employers considered this period the most lucrative of the day, because it increased the production andâ€" created a bond of agreement between employâ€" er and employee. For the employees it gave them relaxation and added contentment to the worker. In opening his address on "The Powâ€" er of Music," Mr. Atkinson said that until the war he was almost entirely ignorant of the enormous power of music. In the Great War, music enâ€" couraged the troops on the march and made them forget their fatigue and inspired them=to greater effort. He spoke of the pep which the singing ‘of patriotic songs injected into the soldiers, and the moral effect it had upon them. The speaker spoke of the great inâ€" fluence of music upon the Russians. The children were taught the Russian folk songs when they were very young, and were brought up in an atmosphere of good music. A Russian princess once told him that during the dark days of Russia she could not have lived without music, as it made her forget her sufferings and mercy. Mr. Atkinson related a number of interestâ€" ing stories of the Russian people and their manner of living, and gave severâ€" al instances showing their love of music and its effect upon them. CONSERVATIVES OF SOUTH BRUCE RIDING The St. Catharines Rotary Club a short time ago put on a real "Music Day" luncheon that might well be copied by other clubs throughout Canâ€" ada. Why not, indeed, right here in our own locality? The speaker of the day was Mr. J. S. Atkinson of the Canâ€" adian Bureau for the Advancement of Music. 9 The greatest agency for the developâ€" ing of the appreciation of music was in the schools, and from the schools‘ it would permeate the homes. In a numâ€" ber of schools in ‘Canada and the United States music was being taught. During the course of a year the pupils were made familiar with about fifty pieces of â€"good music. They were taught something about, the\ various composers and the circumstances unâ€" der which the number was composed. At the end of a year a contest was held and a number of selections were played for the pupils, who wrote the names of the selections played and the names of the composers . By this plan they were made familiar with the masterâ€"pieces of musical literature and helped towards the appreciation of good music. Music was of the greatâ€" est importance in education and had great educative value . It improved the memory and the power of concentraâ€" tion and made the pupils better students intellectually and spiritually. In a number of high schools and uniâ€" versities music was made optional inâ€" stead of some other subject. wWHY NOT A MUSIC DAY AT YOUR CLUB?
