Many of the members of the old Country Clud have joined the newer club and the women who enjoy their game of bridge or mah jongg, a luncheon or a dinner in the country where the cool breeze from the lake tempers the heat, find the club a pleasant place. That the Methodist women of Kingston are looking forward to the meeting of the W.M.8. of the Mont. real Conference which is to be held here this year in May. That Queen Mary was one of the first women in Bngland to introduce vacuum cleaners and electric cobk- ing, cleaning and washing devices into her homes, That some clever girls and wo- men are knitting their own dresses. The hand-made knitted dress is, if well made, a delightful garment. It can be made of wool or silk and wool and {is durable, warm enough and not too warm, will not crush mor hold the dust and is ideal for travel- ling. That it is not too soon to get the motorists camp in order. The first warm days of May will bring the tourists and June with its long days, the fresh green leafage of the trees and .the meadows with-their daisies and clover, is the ideal month for motoring. Then when the old boys and girls come we must surely have a place for them to camp where they will be able to enjoy to the full the delights of the St. Lawrence or the lake. They have often thought of it when they were living in hot in- land towns or cities and one of the pleasures of the trip will be to camp once more where the cool breezes blow and the rippling waves break on the shore. ---------- BEADS ADORN THIS DRESS == Ee = FREE A fine, Bouncing, Rubber Ball with every pair of Kiddies' Shoes purchased at our store Sat- urday and next week, $2.00 Shoes and Shoes and a nice Rubber Ball, NS | For the Relief of Distress In Nova Scotia Through the Miners' Strike.

The secretary read a letter from the National Council asking for sup- port of the "Save-the-Forest Week" appointed by the governor-gemeral to be observed from April 16th to April 25th. The letter asked that the local press be requested to as- sist in giving the matter publicity. The matter of the League of Na- tions Society, the object of which is to give publicity fo the aims of the League of Nations in the fifty-five countries represented, was brought up. The time for action has been extended to the 1st of May. A resolu- tion was passed recommending that the affiliated societies should take corporate membership in the so- clety. The president said that several of the afliliaied societies had approach- ed her on the matter of sending re- lief to the women and children of the Nova Scotia mining districts, who are found to be in sore need of food and clothing. The secretary had wired to Dr. MacMechan, Dalhouise College, as to the best way to send help to the women and children, and he had sent the telegram to the president of the Halifax Local Coun- cil. She had assured the Kingston Council that excellent committee: were in charge of the relief and that Hon. McCallum Grant would re- ceive all subscriptions to the fund.
