At ten o'clock a group had gathered at the big black doors waiting for the bank to open and every minute some one else arrived, walked up and tried the door with an air that plainly said to the waiting crowd: "See them let me in." Some people were angry, some disappointed, but the majority realized that the 24th of May is one of the few days in the year the hard-warking staff is allowed to relax. &..4 That the warm rain of Saturday has greatly increased the growth and the gardiners are feeling in better spirits. Rhubarb and lettuce and other greens are plentiful and should be used by the family. Doctors tell us that Canadians do not eat enough fresh vegetables at any time. That some very pretty and attrac- tive frocks and hats are to be found in the Kingston shops and there is no need to go out-of-town to purchase your summer wardrobe, That tired of luxurious motorcars, many members of London's smart set are returning to the horse carriage for shopping purposes and for driving in the park. Many smart equipages are seen every day in Bond Street, May- fair and the park with high stepping horses, as in the Victorian era. That Hugh Walpole remarks: "I am an optimist because I believe in the everyday man and woman, in their fineness, the greatness of their hearts, their pluck, their cheerfulness. It is not that I do not see their faults, but I be- lieve that when you balance them up most men and women will be found on the side of the angels." . A Song of Age. Hey for the days of laughter Hey for the dreams of youth! Life held no dark hereafter, No touch of pain or ruth. Then sorrow lay a-sleeping Unknown were care and weeping, And all the years were keeping Were laughter, love and truth, Our madcap youth is over, Gone its unclouded skies And you and I, O Lover Grown old and staid and wise; Love knows no tide ebb or flowing, And still his fires are glowing, Dear, in your steadfast eyes. --Norah Holland.

A special meeting of the Woman's Institute was held in the town hall, Harrowsmith, on May 22nd at 8 p.m. Miss Emily Guest, B.A, of Toronto, gave a very instructive and interest- ing talk on "How to Make an Efficient Study of Yourself and the Commu- nity." An excellent programnfe of music was given by Miss Dorothy and Mr. Shibley Neilson of Wilton, who played on their violins. They were ac- companied by their mother, Mrs. K. N. Storms, on the piano. A vote of thanks was moved by Mrs. J. D. Shibley, sec- onded by Mrs. E. E. Day to Miss Guest and the musicians. The meeting was closed with the singing of the Na- tional Anthem, to meet on the last Tuesday in June, Napanee. During the past year, ten regular méetings of the Napanee Branch of the Women's Institute have been held in the Agricultural rooms. 121 mem- bers have been enrolled in that time, ' with an average attendance of 33.2. Outsiders as well as merabers of the Institute assisted in making the meet- ings a success. Six addresses and four demonstra- tions have beén giyen during the year: "Getting the most out of the day," and "Making the Institute more Pro- and Helpful," by Mrs. Laura dae Stephen. "Methods of Improving our Tnsti- tute," Mesdames Haight and Young "Travel Talk of her Trip on the Continent," Mrs. W. S. Herrington. "Delegates report of convention at Ottawa," Mrs. Ella Wagar. , The Demonstrations were all given by members of the Institute. These proved very helpful and instructive.

Sprinkle with the juice from one lemmog and let stand a few minutes in a cool place, then dip in the following bat- ter and fry: Fritter Battter: Mix together one cup of flour and one-fourth tea- spoon of salt; stir in two-thirds of a cup of sweet milk (or water may be substituted) and one tablespoon of melted butter, then add the beat- en yolks of three eggs and fold in two stiffly-whipped egg whites. Af- ter dipping the banana pieces into this batter, place them in a small saucepan containing two or three inches of fat which is hot enough to brown a cube of bread in a few sec- onds. It is never necessary to turn a fritter in the fat, as when it is done on the under side the heavier weight of the upper, uncooked side will automatically turn it over. Re- move from the fat with a long-handl- ed fork when well brown on the under side after this turning. Dust the fried fritters with powdered sugar. Chocolate Doughnuts: (Contri- buted by Mrs. P. J.) "Beat two eggs, till light and add to them one and' one-fourth cups of sugar; beat again, then add three teaspoons of melted butter, one cup of sweet milk and two squares of bitter chocolate melted. Sift together tour cups 'of bread flour, one-half tea- spoon of salt, two teaspoons of cream of tartar and one teaspoon of soda, and add this. Flavor with one teaspoon of vanilla and fry (as above described)."
