What the Eitor Hears That the question is being asked, "Why didn't the women of Frontenac use their franchise in the municipal elections?" That it is time to get your over- seas mail off, if you want your friends to get your gifts and good wishes by Christmas, That Santa Claus' royal procession on Saturday morning was not all joy for the spectators, for one maid, aged four, went home weeping bit- terly and sobbing out, "Santa went right by me and didn leave me one thing." r= That hat pins seem to be etill the vogue in Australia. Or is it that in the antipodes they are now regulated to weapons of defense and offence? The Kingston's football enthus- fasts may not have made as 'much noise as Toronto people weuld have under the excitement of their team winning a dominion championship, but they were just as proud of them. This 1s the third football champion- ship for Kingston this year so per- haps we are getting a bit blase. -------------- . Meeting of W.A. Diocesian Board.

Kingston Peterboro le A 1 SWEET VOICE WON HUSBAND Romance of Fortunate New York Telephone Girl and Weaithy Young Mexican, A romance was recently enacted en- tirely by telephone in one of the New York hotels. Six weeks ago a wealthy young Mexican arrived on business and engaged an expensive suite. A few hours later he was knocked over (by a motorcar and suffered a broken leg. He insisted on being taken to his hotel, rather than to a hospital, and, since expense was no consideration, he was installed, with nurses and at- tendants in his own suite. Hé kept t¢ hig'room for six weeks and when he felt able to work a Hts tle, he hired a secretary and proceed. ed td carry on his affairs by telephone. They were complicated and required an 'immense number of conversations. Within a day or so he became aware that his calls were handled with skill and patience. The next discovery was that the voice at 'the other end of his private line was easy to listem to." There was a smile behind the voice, Day by day the telephone conversa. tions grew longer. It began with a respectful inquiry as to the patient's health, Gradually the inquiries went more into details. By the end of two weeks the invalid and the voice at the hotel switchboard were on good terms, At the end of a month long conversa- tions were the order of the day. When the sixth week had passed the man's brother arrived just as the patient's leg was strong enough to permit a visit to the hotel lobhy. "Where do you want to go first?" the brother inquired. "I want you to help me walk down to the telephone switchboard," the In- valid explained. "I want to see the girl there. And oh, by the way, I am going to marry her," "Great heavens, what's she like?" was the natural inquiry. "Haven't seen her yet, but we've fixed it all up over the phone." The voice with the smile is now di- recting an establishment in the Clty of Mexico.--~New York Sun. ------------ "Curbs Fit for Heroes to Stand n> The New Statesman says that Lon- don has not had so many beggars within living memory as today, and the worst Of it Is, they have nome of the romance of beggary. "They are prosaic, dull, hopeless. Most of them look as If they had been born to be commonplace citizens, earn- Ing a more or less honest living like you and me. To speak strictly, indeed, they are not beggars, but collectors. They stand on the curb; they wait in the doorways of restaurants; they haunt the streets of the respectable. All the time they keep shaking their narrow white boxes, and asking for more, i "They vary from the sullen to the responsive. Some of them seem to de mand a right rather than to beg af They believe that there Is money somewhere, and it is only just that it should be shared. "It is the habit of civilized societies, at the end of a t war, to provide curbs fit for to stand on." Is "Deceased" 'Man Dead?

A German medical journal reports the injury of a young girl at Frank- fort from the point of a hypodermic needle which she swallowed while eat: ing a blood orange. Investigation 'de veloped the fact that the needle had been filled with a red aniline dye. The girl, It Seems, had purchased a dozen of the oranges. These were examined and it was found that all contained an injection of the same nature. It appears that frauds of this sort are no novelty in Germany, similar cases often having been re- ported--the chemical transformation or ordinary oranges into fake blood oranges.--From Le Petit Parisien, Paris.
