rk Dance hurt by the Storm The dances put on this seasen for the benefit of the Red Cross Hospital have run azainst hard luck. The first scheduled to take place came on the evening aftgr Durham‘s big fire and few could enter into the spirit of the dance. The second billed for last Friday night, ran against the worst sncw storm of the season and interâ€" fered greatly with attendance. _ The Winzham 6â€"piece ochestra was there and supplied peppy music and all arrangements were perfect for a large time. The Durham _ Furniture Co. showroom floor is in a class by itself for a function of this nature and it is ham. It is a pity the camera could not also produce the shades of these shawls for their colors were as numâ€" ercus as those that appeared in Jacâ€" c»‘s coat. It was a competition in old fashoned shawls worn by Womâ€" en‘s Institute members attending the Proviceial Convention in . Toronto. That the popular shawl of half a century ago is still treasured as an heirloom is evident, for there were no less than ong hundred and three shawls in the competition, ranging from 40 to over© 100 years old. Mrs J. F. Giles and Miss Margaret Mceâ€" Girr delegates from Durham Branch, were two of the number and to Mrs Giles fell the honor of winning fourth place in the line up and $4.00. Her beautiful Paisley shaw!l came from her grandmother and is at least 80 to be hoped that better results will reward the efforts of the committee in future . Expenses will be met but nothing to the good. Wore Shaw! 80 Years Old The Toronto Daily Globe on Thursâ€" day last had an interesting ‘eut‘ of ten ladies. who appeared before the camera in flowing shawls, the fourth in line being Mrs J F.

Any person having clething which they wish» donated are requestâ€" er to telephone Rev.

Next year they will consult J. B. NBowes, the weather prophet, before selecting a date. But bad and all as the wind blew and flakes fell, Thurs day, the ladies‘ reputation for giving a real supper overcame the weather barricades and a surprisingly large number turned out to Knox Church basement where the supper was givâ€" en. The managing committee had procured thirty three geese and gevâ€" eral chicken and these with several more denations, . disappeared. The plates were bountifully filled and reâ€" peat orders. were unnecessary. Durâ€" ing the progress of the supper, the Nlu Bell orchestra furnished delightâ€" ful music.

About, seven er eight ranâ€" sacked old trunks for ~such apparel and the greatest fun of the evening fell to those who did so. _ Mr Peter Ramage and Mrs (Rev.) Hayes were judges as to who were the hardest hit by the condition of the times and awarded prizes to Misses Elma Ball and L. Schaefer. The occasion was the near compleâ€" ton of the new Baptist Parsonage on Elgin St., which ~all were «Invitâ€" ed to inspect. The building is a creâ€" dGit to the Baptist people, the conâ€" tractors and the town. For a small congregation they have bravely put their hands deep into their pockets and financed â€"over half of ‘its cost, which is $4000..
