In the city, especially, un- less ome is a member of a club or a Y. M. C. A. or something of the kind, or unless one has friends who have a court, it is difficult to get a game. Every couple of fellows, however, can get a piece chalk, a tennis- ball, a back-yard, or a side street where there is little traffic. On a piece of hard dirt road, the court can be marked with white stones. The dimensions of the court should be 32x16 feet, and should be marked like a tennis court for sin- gles. If doubles are to be played a line 4 feet wide should be run paral- to each side, making a court 40x18. The rulés of the game and the scoring are the same.

'Oh, yes, and I ate six.pieces of cake and hundreds of dishes of ice cream!" "Whoa' there, girls, how many did u say? When you get into the Io s and thousands, you're go- ing some!" Mr. Smith smiled as he said this, and passed on. An exuberant girl finds it hard to check herself. he other day a prominent man said: "The modern girl tells things in utter disregard of fact. And if she isn't exaggerating, she is bragging about herself." Girls! Girls!! Girls!!! Is this man right? Will you be responsible for such criticism? It is true that exaggerating is as bad as lying The English language is good enough to xpress anything you wish to say. -- p-- -~ SCH ------ pal difference is that no rackets are used. The ball is a tennis-ball from which the cloth-cover has been ripped off--ar easy enough thing to do, if the stitches that sew the 8- shaped pieces of cloth together are, tut with a pair of nail-scissors. This' makes the ball lighter and quicke A hard smash to the ground wil make the ball jump about ten feety and a low volley will skin along the ground in a fashion that's hard tol answer. Be sure that the central line, which marks the net, is v clear and easy fo see. That will prevent disputes. _ Pavement tennis on a summer da is not child's play, There's as mu fun in it as tennis, and as much ac- tion in it as hand ball.

Don't jump in at once, when overheated, of course, or you're inviting erysipelas. But for real, fast sport which any, fellow can get at without the cost of joining a tennis club or the buy- ing of all the paraphernalia, take Pavement tennis.

But the first of all these oc- caslons, according to Miss Machar's "Story of Old Kingston," was in 1673. It was certainly not an orthodox Orange celebration. Instead of paved streets with buildings of gray stone or red brick, there was only a-group-of tents and wigwams on the shore, surrounded by the vir- gin forest. There was no gay crowd of "holiday-makers, laughing, cheer- ing, and devouring icecream and soft drinks. Spectators there were, indeed, but they looked on in digni- fled silence. Instead of dull coats of serge or broadcloth they wore brilliant coats of paint, with deer- skin moccasins in place of freshly shined shoes, and tall feathers im- stead of tall hats. The paraders, too, were different. They marched like professionals, as indeed they were. Their swords, pikes and bayonets glittered in the evening sunlight, not with gold paint, but with the polish given them by constant use both in Europe and America. Above them streamed a stately banner. It was, however, none of the complex devices in blue and orange which head the modern parades, but a white one sprinkled all over with the lilies of France. The fifes played as merrily as they do now, and the drummers thumped | away almost as lustily as now (not quite--the true Twelth of July drum- mer is unsurpassed and unsurpass- able.) The tunes, however, were dif- ferent. "The Protestant Boys" play- ed In that camp would have earned you a rapier-blade through your mid- riff, only that no one there would have known or understood it. For these were the French and their gov- ernor, Frontenac, come from Quebec to set up a fort at the outlet of the lake. What would they have said and thought if they could have fore- seen the future, and learned that the fort they were to build would later, under an alien flag, develop into a stronghold of Protestantism and an inexhaustible source of Orange parades? The good Abbe D'Urfe woud probably have exclaimed in pious horror over the triumph of the Pro- testants, resigning himself, however, {to the will of heaven, and turning to his work with fresh vigor, that he might snatch as many Indian souls as possible from the wrath to come. Many of the soldiers might have y ' _ OUR FIRST TWELFTH. cared little enough. "Too bad that the heretic dogs are to win out," they would say, "but we'll all be dead before them, so why worry? Pass the bottle, Raoul." As for Frontenac himself, he might. not have felt much concern over: the coming downfall of the priests. "Let them go," he might have said, "A man can't sell a keg of rum to the Indians, but they try to interfere. A good riddance, that part of it. But France!--France to go down like that!--" It was just as well that the old man could not foresee what was to come. The utter defeat of his coun- try would have broken his spirit, and: left no heart in him for the great and necessary work he was still to do. He foresaw nothing; he did his work, and the children of his own race, side by side with those of his bitterest enemies, reap now where he sowed. Side by side they reap, English and French, Catholic and Protestant; and OOL BRITISH WHIG E SL LETTER FROM UNCL Dere Childern, Ez | wuz sayin yistiday, one uv the good things bout them there tely- phones is thet a feller cant borry money from you by it."

The pupils of Junior Fourth Porm, St. Vincent's Academy, feel most keenly the death of their little class- mate, Margaret Lawless. Being of a particularly sweet and' lovable dis- position, Margaret was a general fav- orite and a host of little friends will miss her cheerful presence and gay sense of humor. She made a record as a briliant student, and won the esteem of teachers and companions. She gave proof of her wonderful energy by attending school on Fri- day, May seventh. The day was far spent before she admittéd that 'she was not feeling well and asked leave to go home. The following day the doctor de- clared she had diptheria of a most malignant type and she was brought to the General Hospital. ' After nine days of suffering, borne with forti- tude, she gave up her pure young soul to her Maker with all the gen- erosity of her child-heart. A few hours before dying she received the last imposing rites of the Church in perfect consciousness. She requested her sorrowing mother to recite her favorite prayers and to the end was heard repeating pious ejaculations. Little May flower transplanted in the garden of Heaven, she will speak to the Blessed Virgin of our love, our gratitude, and our desires; and true child of Notre Dame, her prayers on high will support ours in obtain- ing Yor all her school friends the grace of final perseverance. Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to her bereaved parents, brothers and sisters, The Apple Blossoms. One May morning a little girl sat under an 'apple tree sewing on some work that her mother had given her. The apple blossoms were so beautiful that the little girl said, "Oh! what beautiful blossoms! You must be so happy because you have nothing to do." There was a great fluttering be- while they are not just like one fam- ily yet, they can often get along to- gether pretty well without smashing each other's heads. That is a great step in advance. CIRCUS DAY ON THE WAY One of Greatest Shows Kingston Has Seen. Years may come and go, times and customs change, but a circus is al- ways a joy to old and young. So all will be delighted to know that the Sparks Big Three Ring Circus is on its way and will exhibit here, Certainly this is one of the great- est shows that has ever come to King- ston. It includes almost everything in the way of entertainment, from the champion high jumping horse of the world to Madge Evans, a dainty little miss who puts a herd of mon- ster elephants throught their paces twice daily. There are feats of strength and balancing that seem to defy every law of gravitation. Theres is the great Matoka in his front and backward slides for life on a narrow, threadlike wire, extending nearly the entire length of the "big top." There are truly remarkable exhibitions of bareback--Post graduate high schoo!

I think R is a real pity for er. "It lies in a small thing, Cor- inne. Remember, the prettiest face can look out of all proportion if the hair- line framing the forehead does not harmonize with the features. You see, Mary has a slim and long nose and a rather high brow. Throwing back her hair, the way she dees it, in- creases the apparent length of her nose and seems to diminish the lower part of the face. Ip her case, slightly hid- ing the forehead and temples would bring out her slim prettiness, It is the opposite for you. Having a nar- row face, you ought not to uncover your temples. Let them free. Your eyes will look larger and your whole appearance will balance better." ~GEORGETTE BEURET, Bagging Substitutes. The United States Bureau of Stan- dards is experimenting with substi- tutes for jute burlap used in bags. It has several grades of fabrics made from paper and from cotton. Bags of sand and dirt are exposed to sun and rain on the roof and inspect- ed at intervals; they are also thrown from heights in order to test the seams, the tying and the strength of the material. Clothes may make the actress and the lack of them the-chorus girl. and dancing horses, the Flying Earls, the Aerial Yorks, the Connors in high wire evolutions and followers of the "silent drama" will find in Miss Irma, a living replica of Mary Pickford--in fact she is known among her associates in the tented world as "the Mary Pickford of the high wire." The Ezuma oriental troupe, the Cornallas family of Euro- pean acrobats and the Three Guices, TTT] daring aerial bar artists, all vie with each other in presenting death defy- ing stunts. The Sparks Circus toured Canada last season, leaving a reputation for honest business methods, fair deal- ing with the public and cleanliness in all its departments that will long be remembered by Canadians and' let it be known that this is one circus ab- solutely devoid of all the petty grafts usually found with other tented or- ganizations. It has the reputation of giving more for the money than any other circus in the field of the white tents and all of the features will be seen in: the glittering bewildering two "mile. open-air street parade at 10.30 o'clock on circus day. PROPOSAL HELD UP Foster Silent on Overseas Commerce Chamber London, May 27.--Although the matter was brought before Sir Geo. Foster some months ago, no word has yet come from the Minister of Trade and Commerce regarding the propos- ed foundation of a Canadian Cham- ber of Commerce in London under the auspices of the overseas branch of the Commerce Department. It had been proposed that if the scheme was approved to broach it at the opening of the Canadian exhibition In Lon- don on June 3rd, when many Cana- dian business men will be here. This will now be impossible. SCIATICA BEE Tompleton's Rheumatic say dostom preseribe ora: io Eee Beaver Board Red or White Cedar Shingles.
