G THE TIMES AND GUIDE, WESTON The senior members of the Sunday School are giving a play on Friday night of this week, March 27th, "Wunt- ed, a Companion."

In addition to the sketch, reading selections will be given by Miss Edith Thompson; vocal solos, Miss Mu- bel Farr, and Mr. George Ellison on the guitar. Tuesday night the Athletic Club held The five-piece orchestra, under the direction of Mr. Rhodes, provided ex- cellent music for the old and modern dances. A buffet luncheon was Serv- ed on the second floor. After enjoyingthemselves until the morning hours, the many friends of the Odd Fellows went home feeling that the I.0.0.F. had given them a most delightful evening. A number of the local citizens pt- tended the funeral of Miss Sangster, a former resident of Thistletown, which was held on Monday afternoon. Women's Institute meeting was held last week at the home of Mrs. Bus- ter and proved to be a very profitable and enjoyable hour for all present. The masquerade was carried out in truly unique form, in which brilliancy and variety of costumes far outshone any previous local gathering of the season. It was rather amusing to dis- cover at the time of unmasking your partner with the official robes of the highest court in the land happened to be the jovial merchant who served you daily with household lines, prints, ging- hams, etc, and.we must admit our town constable need never go a seek- ing office, his antics being those of a professional entertainer.

At the Church St. club rooms they gathered, mostly in masquerade, and in. honor of jovial St. Pat, the mer- chants had laid aside business worries for the night, housewives forgotten for the moment the high cost of living, and many and one petty worries of the daily routine and household task. As a social event, the annual LO. O.F. "At Home” is conceeded one of the first place and this year was no exception, if the remarks heard from time to time can be taken as an indi- cation of the truth of the assertion. Note the program arranged by the Weston Methodist young people for Tuesday night, March 3lst, in the church auditorium. Opening at 8.00 p.m. with an organ recital by Craig Hamilton, of Toronto. Mr. Craig will be remembered with pleasure as the artist in charge of the Methodist or- gan some two weeks ago, who delight- ed all with his fine music.
