On Saturday afternoon the Junior Auxiliary of St. George's parish gave & most successful tea, sale and en- tertainment in St. George's hall, Miss Edith Ritchie, the superintendent " was in charge in the room where the pretty work, the homecooking and the sweets were for sale. Mrs. A. Hallam and - Mrs. Ward 'were at the table where delicious home made dainties were sold. Mrs. Noel Carr was in charge of the candy table and many members of the soclety Basist~ od them. In the tea room at small tables, each with a slender vase of flowers, parties gathered for tea, and at the long table centred with spring flowers, Mrs. Havelock Price and Miss Frances Cartwright made "ianumerable cups of tea. Mrs. W. B. Kidd was an indefatigable assist- ant, and the girls of the soclety were efficient waitresses. Miss May Powell was in charge of a fish pond contain- ing all sorts of surprises. At 3.30 a programme was put on upstairs and ~ 8 good crowd gathered to enjoy it, - having first paid an entrance fee to Miss Charlotte Abbott, the treasurer. The programme was in charge of Mrs. Horace Lawson, Mrs. W. R. P. Bridger and Mrs. Victor Tremaine, and consisted of a plano number by Miss Annigq Hallam, songs by Miss Gladys Donnough, Miss Geraldine Marchand and Miss Katharine Her- on, a recitation by Miss Norma Ec- cles, a ninepin drill by zine little girls and a hornpipe danced by some membpers of the J. A. "The Open Window," a missionary play in verse was put on, the leading parts being 'splendidly taken by Misses Norma Eccles, Efa Denison, Annie Hallam and Jessie Ward. The story is of 'three girls who find their school holidays dull and are cross and peevish until the fourth "Beatrice" '(Norma Eccles) shows them through 'an open window, the life of the girls © and women in the countries across the seas and the far away corners of Canada to which the W. A. sends missionaries. The girls who took the parts of India were: Isabel Hender- . mom, Kathleen Gunn, and Audrey Lawson; China, Beatrice Angel, Lil- lan Ling, Ivy Roach, Kathleen Gunn and Irene Beck; Japan, Geraldine archand and Irene Beck; Canada, Evelyn Gibbs and Irene Ling; Aus- tralia, Bessie Sullivan and Edith Ward. Katharine Heron as the Aus- tralian mother, who had for{otton Christmas, till she heard the softly played strains of a familiar hymn. Mrs. Tremaine played for the songs. The entertaining was most success. ful in every way and $100 was rais- ed for missions. * oo Miss Jean Chown, who returns to Rochester, N.Y., to-day, says she has decided to go into grand opera with the Hastman American Opera Com- pany, with whom she is singing at present. Miss Chown is a Kingston girl of whom we are all proud and whenever she sings in her home town the crowd with which she is greeted disproves the idea that prophets are without honor in their own country. Her pronounced suc- cess as a concert.singer and the fact that the music of her lovely deep contralto is broadcasted continually has left her the same quiet, sweet- mannered girl who went to England some years ago to develop the voice that won for her in critical London the name of "'The Canadian Con- tralto." We will look forward to hearing her in. grand opera and we are sure she will not leave King- ston out of her tours. LJ .

A rush of sunlight o'er the way, A cry of wild birds in the park, A glow of golden light by day, A field of blaring stars at dark-- Among the trees, along the grass, The songs of many robins ring; And as the splendid moments pass, The world cries out "So this is Spring 1" Unfettered are the waters wide, The lakelets laugh, the rivers sing; , No matter what the hours betide, I only know that this is Spring. The crows go winding Northward ho! The cranes across the swing, The bullfrogs croak where sedges grow, And then--I know that this fis ~The Khan's Canticles. marshes TOMORROW'S MENU. Breakfast Oranges Cereal Creamed Dried Beef 'on Toast Pop-Overs Coffee Luncheon Jelly Onielet Wholewheat Bread Radishes Cookies Cocoa Dinner Celery Soup Lamb Chops Potatoes Spinach Vegetable Salad Strawberry Shortcake Coffee Dishes In This Week's Menus. Celery Cream Soup: (Without Stock). Cut the leaves and tough stalks from a head of celery and put them into a saucepan with one quart of cold water, a tiny piece of bay leat and two large peeled and chop- ped onions; let come to the boil and simmer for one hour. There should be about a pint of thé liquid left. Add to this ong pint of sweet milk, again bring to the boil, then strain through a wide-meshed sieve, press- ing through as much of the vege- tables as possible. Return it to the pot, add one-half cup of brown rice and let boil gently for five minutes, then stir the soup into one slightly- beaten egg in a tureen and let stand two minutes, stirring steadily, be- fore serving. Baked Sole: Clean the fish and split lengthwise. Let stand in a cool place for 25 minutes in one table- spoon of lemon juice mixed with one-half teaspoon of Worchester Sauce and one teaspoon of onion juice (this amount for every "two pounds of the fish). Then sprinkle generously with buttered bread crumbs, dot with still more bits of 1 he Editor heors That there is a right and wrong way of doing everything. The right way for the woman's societies who wish to have their unadvertised meetings reported in the Whig is to choose a press correspondent who will write a report of the meeting the day it takes place and mail it to "The Editor of the Woman's Page, British Whig, Kingston." We hear from a woman who has belonged to many societies that there is a great advantage to the societies in having their work reported in the daily press. When they come before the public, as they all do sooner or later, to ask support, they have a stand- ing, they have been heard of and the people have some idea of their aims and how their society is run. But the Whig is a daily newspaper and information 1s not news when it is several days old. Accounts of meetings for the Woman's Page should be received early in the morning after the meeting. That a family of French poodles created much' admiration on the market on Saturday morning. From a distance one expected to see the little wooden stand that toy dogs are fastened to under the arm of the boy who had one little white woolly dog. But no, tie puppy had four very lively little legs of his own and 'he and his brothérs were quite able to enjoy life. That Mrs. Halden Loeffler of Ed- monton, a wealthy visitor at the Bavoy, is said to Ube the pur- chaser of the famous Romanoff emerald ring which, after having been sold at Rotherham, Kent, for two shillings, was resold at Chris- tie's for £1,450. Mrs. Loeffler has now bought it from some Hatton Garden merchants for a little over £2,000. The ring's history is a tragic one, for it is said to have been worn by the czar at the time of his death. The emerald is a large square one, flawless except for a segment chipped out of a side of the) stone, presumably by the executioners. That black shoes and stockings are once mdre considered smart, worn with all black and black and white gowns. i: fhicient butter, and place in a pan containing a little hot water. Bake in a medi- um oven for 25 minutes and serve. Apple Tapioca: Soak three-quar- ters of a cup of pear! tapioca or one-half cup of minute tapioca in water to cover, for one.hour. - Then drain, add two and one-half cups of boiling water and a pinch of salt, and place jn the upper part of a dou- ble boiler; let the water in the lower part boll briskly till the tapioca is clear and transparent. Now slice six pared and cored apples into a baking dish, and then add two table- spoons of lemon juice and one cup of granulated sugar to the cooked tapioca and turn it at once over the apples. Slip the dish into a medium oven and let bake till the apples are tender--about 30 'minutes. Serve with sweet, thin cream or top-milk. (Note:" Peach "Fapioca is made in the same way, with either fresh or canned peaches substituted for the apples). Cottage Cheese Salad: Season cot- tage or cream cheese with a little chopped cooked red sweet pepper (or canned pimentos) and form the cheese into small balls. Place these on crisp lettuce on individual salad plates, sprinkle chopped walnut- meats over all, and serve with a dab of Mayonnaise Dressing. Tomorrow--Answers to Inquiries.

Both are made from the same bush and both are equally pure. The difference is in the process of manufacture which gives each a different flavour. - Black- Tea after it is plucked is withered and 'fired' or dried, then allowed to oxidize by being exposed to the air. . This gives Black Tea its dark reddish colour when drawn. Green tea is immedi- ately steamed after plucking, which \ vents oxidization. There are delicious blends of "SALADA" in both of these and Tea also a unique blend of Black and Mixed. . Alk are sold in four qualities, YOU BUY WHEN!
