It was one of those rare but not altogether extinct times when a man and his wife were holding a love- making conversation reminiscent of the good old days before thie war. As is usual with women when in a tender mood, the deficiencies were forgotten for the moment and she was actually speaking well of him, strange and improbably as it may seem. --, "Go on," he remarked teasingly, "it I were to die tomorrow you'd marry again in no time." She wheeled from/the gas range and said in a voice trembling with emotion: \'I wouldn't wipe my feet on the best man who ever lived, ex- cept you."

LETTERS To The Editor Defends Dr. Cappon. Odessa, Ont, Oct. 28.-- (To the 5 .|of the German guns. - Another hut "THE DUMBELLS" COMPANY IN CITY Company Was Originally Or- ganized in France During Days of the War. « "The Dumbells" concert party in Capt. Plunkett's sixth annual revue, "Ace High," which opens a three- day engagement at the Grand Opera House on Thursday evening will be warmly welcomed back to Kingston. Although this concert' party has visited Kingston on many occasions since returning from overseas, the members of the company are as popular as ever and they are as- sured of large houses. This company, which was origin- ally organized fa France, under the patronage of Maj.-Gen. L. J. Lipsett, C.M.G., who was killed by a sniper's bullet near the g¢lose of the war, has had a notable record, having played before royalty. Thousands of re- turned men, who spent the period of the war in France, can well remem- ber while out on rest, visiting the large "Y' huts and seeing this con- cert party perform. For the benefit of people who did not have the pleasure of visiting this company in France, the Whig is publishing a copy of the programme used in France, which was saved by a returned man, The programme which was used in 1917, contains the following numbers: Part 1.

Just six years ago, the Dumbells were travelling through France and Belgium, putting on shows and cheering the hearts of soldiers who were doing their best to end the war, When the Canadians captured Mons on November 11th, 1918, it was only the matter of a few days until the "Dumbells'"' arrived in that city and presented their show. The writer will never forget the afternoon and evening when the Canadian soldiers who were billeted in Mons, were al- lowed to take the residents of that city, who were allowing them to re- main ia their homes, to the perform- ance which was presented' by the Canadians. It was a common occurrence for the soldiers to walk ten and fifteen miles for the purpose of seeing the "Dumbells." The Y.M.C.A. huts, where the company performed, were by no meang in the safe area. - One of the huts was located near Mount ' St. Eloi, which was always in reach was at Vimy Ridge. A returned man informed the Whig that one'night he walked to Mount St. Eloi for the purpose of seeing this show. The German guns were active and blew up part of the woods very close to "Y" hunt, . After leaving the city of Mons, the com avy played in Brussels and dur, ing stay in that city King Al- bert of Belgium and his wife, visit. ed the performance and were loud in their praise of the splendid acting of the Canadians. - Things are getting brighter. oval a YOUNG MEN'S BROWN BOOTS Made of good quality Calfskin -- McKay sewed soles -- up-to-date pat- tern--sizes 6to 9 --only ...... $3.75 ABERNETHY'S SHOE STORE Simmons Week | at Reid's An Unclean Mattress is a Menace to Health As the largest single factor in LIMITED, whom we represent locally, the bedding business, SIMMONS, are concerned for the integrity of the industry and the consequent well-being of the people of Kingstone concerned to protect you against old infect to this end we guarantee that all Mattresses bearing Simmons' od materials in your Mattress, labels are of pure, clean, new cotion, delivered to your home in a sealed carton, JAMES REID * The Busy Store GANANOQUE | Oct. 30.--Mrs. Stanley Tupper, Lake Placid, N.R., is visiting her mother, Mrs. A.
