"A real, fashionable function, Miss Bowen, such as you are accustomed to giving in your city home. What other sort of party do you suppose the young people of this neighborhood would care to attend?" Celia laughed. } "They were not half as much fun as you suppose. I would not give one of your jolly barn dances for half a dozen of our ‘fashionable functions,‘ Miss Dorothy Bowen." "Yes, but you see, Celia, you are tired of them. We have never had a party of that kind, and it would be quite a novelty here." _ Mrs. Bowen looked around the shabâ€" by, but comfortable room.

"A party!‘ echoed Celia, sorting out the various napkin rings 4s she spoke; "what kind of a party?" Dorrie looked at her cousin, a world of pity for her ignorance depicted on her glowing face. _ _ _ Marion and Kathleen came in at that moment, and waited to hear the explanation of Dotrrie‘s question. "For a fashionable function you would want the proper surroudings, little girl." 7 _ "I never thought of that, confessed Dorrie; "but we could have some sort of a party, couldn‘t we, tnother, and all be together again for one more night while Celia is here?" "Yes, I think you are all entitled to a jollification of some sort. You have worked very hard this summer and now that the nights are growing longer a real house party would be very nice indeed." "I have so many visits to make I hardly know where to begin, said Celâ€" ia, flitting from pantry to dining room table; "I must go and say goodâ€"bye to Minna and Lois, to Betty and Stacy, spend one more evening with the Lewis girls, with Grace and Stacy too. How I wish we could have one more good time together before I go." "Mother!"‘ asked ‘Dorrie, suddenly; "why couldn‘t we have a party?"

Let us spend a few evenings teaching them, it would not take long, they are very simple and anyone who can dance can soon pick them up." Celia‘s suggestion met with instant favour. It was settled then and there that she should give Marion, Kathleen and the twins some lessons, and they would all undertake toâ€" teach their friends in turn.

The Bowen girls anticipated nothing more than an old time party, with dancing held in the living room, the furniture being removed for that purâ€" pose, so when a big load of planed lumber came from the sawmill one day and carpenters began to lay a level floor on the spacious lawn before the rax:ich house ‘they were much mystiâ€" fied. "Whatever is this for? Celia, do you know ? Mother, what are they doâ€" The knowing looks exchanged by Mrs. Bowen and Celia tantalized them but they were kept on tenterhooks unâ€" til they learned that Celia, in her deâ€" sire to give them a really up to date party, had sent to the coasb city for a large tent.in which the dancing was to take place.

To her disapâ€" pointment, Aunt Kate refused to alâ€" low Celia to procure decorations from Vancouver, Their own woods aboundâ€" ed in crimsoning vines and leaves. These, with plenty of ornamental lanâ€" terns would make the tent a perfect bower and it would be foolish exâ€" travagarnce to bring a city firm out to decorate a farmbouse. So to the woods they went, the boys bringing in wagonloads of trailing creepers and glowing leaves and with them made the vavilion a thing of beauty. Jessie was as enthusiastic as the others, She could lie in her chair, watching the dancers and enjoying the music. As this would be the last evâ€" ening on which she would meet her friends for some months to come she determined to make the most of it and to share their pleasures. Malton Women‘s Institute met for their regular meeting at the home of Mrs. H. Shaw this month. Routine business was carried through, also, a couple of delightful papers given by Mrs. D. J. Lammy and Miss Jessie Grite. Mrs. R. J. Spiers, Mrs. Bert McBride and the president also gave interesting reports on the recent conâ€" vention. Another pleasing feature of the afternoon was the carrying out of the annual Christmas and New Year gift of fruit and vegetables to the Fred Victor Mission. Celia had her way in other matters, and when her cousins and their friends learned that the cakes and icés were being sent out from the city and that she had secured a struggling young orâ€" chestra to furnish the latest music for their dances their cup of bliss was filled to overflowing. 5 (To be Continued) MALTON i %S i a J 43 * \‘s. /5 3 t ons ‘%" 1 t Rev. W. I. Breen, a missionary of the United Church of Canada in Triniâ€" dad, an island of the British West Inâ€" dies, gives the following statement: "The Trinidad Mission holds itself responsible for the welfare of 122,000 East Indians, whose forefathers were brought over from India to work upon the sugar and cocoa estates. ~By reâ€" ligious training and practice these were temperate people; and by their patient industry they have made Trinidad what it isâ€"‘The Pearl of the Caribbean.‘ It is, therefore, most unfair that these people should be menaced as they are with the Liquor Traffic. "Rum, the chief drink, is very easily procurable. Nearly every grocery store is also a saloon, and located in most cases quite near the public school. Sevâ€" entyâ€"five per cent. of our exâ€"pupils are learning to use drink, which physicalâ€" ly and morally is playing them havoc. It is the ally of their diseases and the cause of more than half their crime. "«‘The Protestant churches are doing temperance work.. Literature is being distributed, mass meetings held and in oneâ€"third of the schools Scientific Temâ€" perance instruction is given., Hindoo and Mohammedan leaders are beginâ€" ning to unite with Christians to oppose the Traffic. "I regret to say that the setâ€"back in temperance reform in Canada the last few years has seriously injured our cause, and has given fresh counrage to the enemy, who have made the very most of Canada‘s tolerant attitude to drink. We sincerely hope that before long such a powerful. interest shall awaken in the grave international probâ€" lem, that shall put Canada in the van of temperanceâ€"reform, where she ought to be.â€"Contributed by Weston Branch w.C.T.U A large part of Christian virtue conâ€" sists of right habits.â€"Paley. oopmmerNIes s o i es : e Hes [ M P "ova lR $V a (Ren Foul it Clfi n Nss Et dig han â€" Cigk h 2 xm Heu CA Bukd m io Brcn hB tS td dsn i P o PSS (Or e We es 5on yA Foiide ols Ped A d cgiitiaiep GBerse s Bs CimzrttP TRINIDAD AND DRINK on Get Your Christmas Greeting Cards at the Times & Guide Victory Meat Market Butcher R.
