That Kingston takes a live interest little ones who, througle 'no fanit theirs, are deprived of a natural .ome, was evidenced on Monday afternoon by the large at- teridance 'at the annual meeting of the Mrphans' Home and Widows' Aid Society, held in the school room of the comfortable home on Union street. Mayor Nickle was in the chair and in a few opening remarks said that this institution was another case: of "Great things from small. be- ginnings," for this work was begun in Kingston seventy-five years ago after the typhus and cholera epidem- ic by the Woman's Benevolent Soci ety, and about forty-six years ago the homé was opened and has been doing good work ever since. The children who were present sang some bright choruses and then Rev. W. ¥. Kidd, M.C., was asked to in the +f of ers present, saying that the reasons for this gathering reached far back | zation, and came down through the {ages from the Great Founder, who {gave the command to visit - the |fatherless. It was the first duty as | Christians antl godd citizens to 'see |that the young life of the country {had an opportunity to develop under {favorable conditions. To the = chil- dren the speaker said "Your happy | faces -are the best possible message |to us of the life of the Home. You are -happy, aren't you?" to which {they responded gleefully: 'Yes. | Miss Helen Page, one of the larg- er girls, read the report of the | Unlon Jack club, which holds a meeting every Friday evening, when | Mrs. A. Kennedy conducts a story hour, and Miss May Chown teaches {them games. They had parties at | Christmas and Hallowe'en. The {mayor had to leave, and asked Mr. | Kidd to take the chair and after some more bright songs under the | direction of Miss Gamsby the chil- {dren left the room and the business of the reports was proceeded with. -- Management Report. The annual report of the commit- tee of management showed-.that the progress of the home has been most satisfactory for the past year. Much faithful and valuable work has been accomplished by the committees and too much praise cannot be given them. At present there is a yearly average of sixty in the home, all be- tween the ages of three and four- teen years. Seventeen children are going to the public school, the rest being taught in the home by Mrs. Gambsy. During the simmer months, a number of outings were given the little ones, donations of money hav- ing been sent in for these treats. For better fire protection -of the home. Chief Armstrong made a thorough inspection. Upon his suggestion, néw fire escapes were bought, and placed in position through the voluntary work of the chief and members of his staff. The different ministers throughout the city interested their congregation on behalf of the home with the result that the churches responded withnew members and dopations. The finance committee held a tag day, and realiz- ed the sum of $767.50. The proceeds of a tea and sale amounted to $324,- 41. Through the efforts of some kind friends, the children had a most en- joyable Christmas tree; and. during the Christmas -season,. many dona- tions were received. A donation of $100 was received from the Prince Charlie Chapter, 1.0.D.E. This was used to furnish a recreation room for the children. A donation of $100, for the purpose of redecorating and paint ing the dining ropm was received from the Frontenac Chapter, 1.O.D.E, Through a generous donation from Miss 'Agnes Richardson, the play room was redecorated. A cheque for $1,000, from the estate of the late Virs. Botterell, was received; also a cteque for $o0¢ from R. F. Borter- ell, to be usad in purchasing a piano as a memorial to his wife. A cheque from the W. J. Robertson estate for $200 was received, and Mrs. Hannah Davenport, bequest, $100. The report adds that it is a great pleasure that while the children have enjoyed good health most of the year much of tivis credit must be gi- ven to the 'voluntary services of Dr. E. McCallum, also to Dr, Jones, for inoculation of each of the children for diphtheria in the absence of Dr. McCallum Many gifts from those who love the children have been re- ceived, and all are gratefully acknow- ledged. The report of the committee of management was given by Mrs. H. D. Bibby, corresponding secretary. An interesting report was submit- ted by Winnifried McLeod, the regis- trar. It showed the following: Number of inmates in institution, Oct. 1st 1919, male, 22; female, 32; total, 64; number of admissions dur- ing the year ¢ncing Sept. 30th, 1919, males, 31; females, 49; total, 80; total number of admissions to. the institute during the year including 'those in residence since October 1st, 1919, males, 53; females, 81; total, 134; number discharged from insti- tution, males, 32; females, 54; total, 86; number of deaths, none; number ir iniiginarai ! speak, which he did, first.to the eld-' 000A {to the principles of Christian éivili-.

B. Carruthers read the short report of the clothing commit- tee. During the flu epidemic it was 1ealized how much new bedding was needed. pillow cases, etc. have been since purchased, but the supply ig still far from satisfactQry. Some donations of second hawd cloih- ing have been much appreciated, and some more has been bought, Fronte- nac Chapter, 1.0.D.E., has offered to make sou:e night dresses for which the committee will be grateful. Mrs. Artnur Clark reported for the Children's comm . The most im- portant work is carried on by Miss Mackenzie, Miss Ann Mackenzie ard Merrir who are with the ly, and to whom the t sphere of the instl- tution is due. 'Hhe younger children are taught in the school, while the older ones attend the nearest public school. On Sunday, they attend St. James' church, and are taught the afternoon by Sunday school teacners from that church. Last spring the board appointed a committee of three whose work is to present to the board cases eligible for admission and to receive application from peo- ple wishing to take the children into their homes. Two or more reliable people of the community from which the applicant comes having to testify to their suitability as guardians. | These people have to sign indentures, agreeing to give them a good home and pay something for them each year, which sum is kept in trust till the chiid Is sixteen. ! The Mothers' Allowance will give very little relief to the home as most of the children are from homes bro- ken up by desertion of either parent, Only two children are affected by ! this fund. Mrs. R. S. Waldron read the re- port of the Ways and Means commit- tee. The tag day of December 5th, 1919, brought in $324.40, that of May, 29th, 1920, $167.50. Dr. Austin, Professor of Surgery at Queen's, came in and went up to the childrens' play rooms to meet and chat with them, free from the constraint of the elders. At the close of this most interest- ing meeting tea was served, Mrs. Ar- thur Clark and Miss Lewis pouring tea at the long table centred with golden marigolds, assisted by Miss Marion Redden, Miss Mabel Rich- ardson, Miss Olive and Miss May Chown. The committee hope for good re- sults from the interest taken in the work, The officers, who were elected in March are: Directresses, Mrs. J. B. Carruthers, Mrs. Arthur Clark, Miss L. Lewis, (seeretary), Mrs. "Hugh Nickle, (corresponding secretary), Mrs. Bibby, (treasurer), Miss Etta Henderson, (registrar), Mrs J. B. McLeod. * 9 urer Sheets, CONSUMPTION OF GAS INCREASES GREATLY Commission is Supplying it to the Consumers at About Cost. At the meeting of the Public Util- ities Commission on Monday after- noon, Manager Folger reported that during October the gas consumption was 3,000,000 cubic feet more than during December, the heaviest month of consumption last year. He has been unable to report the exact cost of production at this date, ow- ing to conditions that have had to be met. For one thing the ofl being | supplied. is not very good, and that accounts for the poor quality of gas lately turned out. The commission has fot been making any money on gas production this year, owing to the jump in the prices of oil and coal, and just now. is supplying gas to the consumer at about cost. However, conditions . will improve later on, The commission had a number of active matters before it, including the gas tank accounts of Davis and Farnum for adjustment The con- tracts with this company have amounted to over $97,000. All the members of the commis- sion were in attendance: R. F. Elliott (chairman), Mayor Nickle, G. Y. Chown, Thomas Hewett and T. J. Rigney. Charm Tea is from the best gar- dens. * "TWICE TOLD von TEN YEARS AGO. The most serious Hallowe'en prank recorded this year was a false alarm which gave the firemen an unusually long run for néthing.

It is very entertaining, and the music is the tinkling kind. A bevy of young girls in novei costumes sing and dance very daint- ily, but there is not more than a very ordinary voice in the whole cast. The lyrics are very harmonious, but the voices 'are not there to render them as they might be done. Dancing is the chief feature of the production outside of the very good work of the two comedians, Doyle and Dixon, upon whose shoulders the production largely rests. The scenery is decid- edly good, particularly the scene de- picting Candyland. There is mych in the production to Interest -chil- dren. Probably the best vocal num- ber was the duet, "I'll Take You aek to-ftaly,' by Harland Dizon and ileen Christie. "Jack o' Lantern" pleased the large andience, but it would not stand the close criticism that a gem like "The Maid of the] » Ladies' Black Brogue laced Boot; all sizes; extra value . . ... $4.95 Three styles Men's Black Kid Laced Boots narrow and round toes; all sizes; extravalue ......... = .... cr. 73405 Abernethy's Shoe Stor 0 A a ee a Aa Phone 147 for Service.
