The bride who was unattended was given in marriage by her father and looked charming in her wedding gown of powder blue georgette trimmed with lace which hung in long graceful folds with shoes to match. She carried a shower bouquet of butterfly roses. Fol- lowing the ceremony a buflet luncheon was served.

The June meeting of the Aberdeen; Women’s Institute was held at the home of Mrs. Fred Cuff on June 24, with a fair attendance.

A 'well prepared paper on “Best and Sleep” was given by Mrs. Gorman Johnson and the poem “Myself” was well given by Miss Ada Chapman. Mrs. George Miller favored the ladies with a solo “The Coster’s Sister.” ‘ _ Mrs." Grierson gave a most complete i and interesting report of the District annual in Durham. Mrs. Towriss’ poem “Institute Aid” was heartily sung by all and the roll call was responded to by helpful hints and silver collection. The National Anthem closed the meeting and Mrs. Cut! and assistants served a delicious lunch and a cup of tea. The .next meeting will be held at the home of the Misses Fletcher on Wednesday, July 16. ABERDEEN WOMEN’S INSTITUTE Institute met at the home of Mrs.| William Picken for their July meeting with forty-five ladies present. A very interesting paper was given by Mrs. William Smith on “Women and Fire Prevention in the Home”. It was stated that sixty per cent of the fires originate in the homes and the majority are caused from over-heated :stoves or defective stove pipes. It was. pointed out that it is the women’s duty to see that her stove pipes are cleaned at least twice a year and all defective pipes discarded. Mothers should warn children to be careful of fire and mat- ches should always be kept out of the lreach of children. ‘ As this meeting took the form of a 'picnic the ladies then adjourned out of i'doors where several games were enjoy- :ed and an appetizing lunch served by i the hostess and assistants ended a plea- ant afternoon.

Five times Mr. Bingham has visited Africa lin connection with the mission work he was instrumental in establishing there some thirty years ago. But this is the first time he has used an automobile. Crossing Africa in record time, he en- tered Abyssinia during the recent tur- bulent period in the history of that nation, but was unable to proceed by car, this mode of travel being prohib- ited. The trip to the capital (Addis Ababa) was made by mule train and occupied five weeks! Amongst his many experiences was his contact with the race of pygmies who inhabit the solitudes of the great Ituri forest. It was or these same people that Stanley wrote, when des- cribing his historic expedition to find Livingstone. Today there is a splendid road through their domain, and the natives are becoming accustomed to contact with white men, although they are still hard to reach, owing to their exceeding shyness. Mr. Bingham writes: “They have no desire whatever to be turned away from their own mode of life in the everglades of Africa. With their bows and arrows and their hunting knives these little men .will tackle the largest denizens of the for- est. The fierceness of the lion, the strength of the wild elephant, have no terrors for the pygmies. who are expert hunters and will overcome all that comes in their way in their natural .mmmum ‘b Adin- Cuudun Mfr-let- mumumumm It is possible today, Mr. Bingham says, to motor practically across the continent, a distance of between 3,000 and 4,000 miles. With careful planning one may stop either at an betel or rest Mevery' nightâ€"if nothing goes wrong with the plans. There are gaso- line stations, though these are neither Despite the inroads of civmzauon, Africa still remains a land of wild. natural beauty, of romance and ad- venture.

Mr. Bingham is now on his way back to Canada. After spending a short time at Mission headquarters, 366 Bay street, Toronto, he will leave for Fern- dale, Muskoka, to tell his interesting story to guests of the Canadian Kes- wick Conference, which .meets between July 6 and August 24. His addresses lwill be illustrated by motion pictures taken by him during his wonderful trip v, across Africa. RE {bi -m-tour M, .
