MH, THOMPSON, Pao», beautifully | BEF WOMAN'S CLUB WED- NESDAY AFTERNOON Laurence Gave a Masterly Ad- dress on the Drama as a Factor in Social y At an "overflow" mesting of tie Kingston Women's ¢lub in the lec- ture hall and adjoinlog parlor of Sydenham Sireet Methodist church, Laurence. Irving, the noted English actor who has bean playing with his [company in the eity, spoke on Wed- nesday afternoon. His subject was "The Drama as a Faclor in Social Progress." He was equally at home beicre the ladies (with a gprinkling on the fringe of representatives of the opposite sex) as before the foot- lights. His address was practical, scholarly and fair, and his manner charming. - Following are some ex- p from' it; - "Every child is a _ theatre lover and every child is 4 Born 'actor. At feast I will not say (hat every child is born with the skill to act,. but every child is born. with the desire to act: 'From what does this de- site spring? It springs, 1 believe, fromi the divine gift of dissatisfac- tion, from the quality of the human tind which has been very. well sum- ned up in a Russian proverb that says: 'Happiness is there where we are not." With the growth of the body and the mind the projecting of the imagination into other states of being, and the dissatisfaction with the actual and compulsory con- diticns of the earthly lot deepens and becomes intensified in the hearts of adults; it is touched to ever finer issnes and in the noblest of minds, it. finds its ultimate . imaginative bourne in the sublime philosophy of religious contemplation "Caid the transcendental visions of" religion ecstacy." "The boy smears on his upper lip burnt cork whilst he tastes the reck- less and ferocious joys of imagining himself a pirate captain, and this has often developed and. sanctified itsell"into the tomsure of the monk." "The. ultimate desire of the heart is bound to turn at last towards rve- ligion, In. all hges the theatre has received its initial development at the hands of the priesthood and un- der the aegis of religion.' "As it is with our. moral quali- ties, so it is with the institutions which minister to our wants or sup- ply our pleasures. And, as is the case with other arts, so it is with the theatre. The theatre can diffuse light and high imaginative susten- ance, or it can pour forth streams of' debasegient and pollution. And many 'nobly zealous, but' unwise, moralists have fallen into the ter- rifle pit of banning all art, and most (particularly the theatrical as being the most vivid in its appeal because {of this duality of influence." "Granting then that the true func- {tion of the stage is to strengthen men in high resolve, to expand their | sympathids, and, in the case of com |edy, to correct. their foibles and te {keep their minds healthily poised how does thé present-day theatn {discharge this trust?

QUEEN MARY'S UMBRELLA Her Majesty Feels Lost Unless She Is Carrying One Rain or shine, Queen Mary must have her umbréla, the habit being 50° confirmed that she often feels lost without it indoors. This pecu- liarity has become conspicious through the recent incident at Nor- wich, where the Queen insisted up- on carrying her umbrella through a musenm whose rules forbid the tak- ing of walking sticks o. umbrellas into the picture za: erica The queen has not been altogeth- er exempt from eriticism for her re- fusal to do as other people do in his respect. The socialist papers seized upon the incident :nd even in more conservative quarters the queen's conduct is questioned. - Tha Daily. Sketch asks Queen Mary, "who is usually so willifg to adapt herself to: circumstanea, .oxonld not tem- porarily dispeiise' with her umbrella when she visited the . Norffich Musgcum, She was willing, the pap- er points out, to 'dispense with bou- quets and red carpets, with bows and speechmaking, since she tried to keep her ideduity a secret, but. {he jed ler to disclose her ldentity 'in order that she could avoid the rule: of parting with her umbrella and obtain the royal prerogative of walking through the museum "fully equipped for the possibility of the blowing off roof' coinciding with a heavy shower." No matter what. the oceasion, un- less it be some very formal official ceremony, the gueen invariably tar- ries a neatly folded umbrella, de- spite the fact that she airways drives In a covered carriage and whenever sho stops anywhere a canapy is pro- vided.

Royal 'Bi » 'HART'S RIVER' NOT A DEFEAT Name of South African Fight Goes on Monument After years of controversy the name "Hart's, River" has' been added . to the monument on University avenue. The committee in charge of the | thon- ument inscription had refused to put it on because, though. the Canadians took part in the fight on Maxch 31st, 1902, it was considered a defbat, and defeats are not usually recorded. on British monuments. Rev. F. Allan Patterson, M.A., who was a member of the 2nd Canadian Mounted Rifles, had tried to convince the committee that the fight did not endin a repulse, 'and he'at last: suc- seeded. By way of proof he wrote to Field Marshal Lord Kitchener, and this! is the reply he received : War Office, London, S.W. 15th December, 1913.

Sgd. Warde, Lord Kitchener's report is in part as follows : "Finklly failing to pen- etrate our camp, the Boers abandon- ed the attack and withdrew altogeth- er out of range.
