But mo. The robins looked askance at the imported goods, and decided to resist temptation, and fin- ally flew away leaving the dainties on the snow. That feeling that one year was too short a period in which to ar- range such 'a large undertaking and the whole proposition of a Women's World's fair was not feasible for next year, the Vancouver Local Couticil of Women has notified the National Council that it did not ad- vise such a venture. The proposal had been for such a fair to be held in 1926 at the annual meeting which it is understood may take place in that city. That hardly a week passes with- out some tragedy for which a per- son more or less insane is respon- sible. After the damage is done and the person: is being tried in court, the evidence shows that he or she has, for a period long or short, been acting in a way that lo say the.least is wot normal. Last week a woman poisoned seven persons, three of them members of her own family. The verdict is that she is not men- tally responsible. A few weeks ago a man who had threatened his wife's life and was still at large, walked into a Belleville store and shot two apparently harmless people. An- other man in Ottawa was sentenced to be hanged and is reprieved be- cause the evidence shows he was probably of unsound mind when he killed his wife and family. And still the world 'goes on, and people are at large who are quite as far from normal as these unfortunates. Would it not be a kindef and more sensible act to see that they are placed in safety than to leave them 'to do harm to others, perhaps to those who are near and dear to them? : strawberries.

Of printed silk in shades of blue, it is bound and belted with plain blue of a darker tone. The sash makes any other closing unnecessary. WOMAN'S INSTITUTE. Inverary. The regular meeting of the Wo- men's Institute of Inverary was held at the home of Mrs. Ira Darling on Monday evening, April 6th. An un- usually large number were in at- tendance. Besides the usual rou- tine of business the ladies conduct- ed a sale of house dresses and ap- rons made by the blind institution. They also took many orders for more as well as for several baskets made by the same people. The social part of the programme was composed of two extremely in- teresting as well as helpful papers. Mrs. J. Gordon's topic was, "Good Manners ip the Home," and Miss M. Sliter spoke on "Character." Music was then enjoyed until the hostesses, Mrs. J. Dixon and Mrs. J. Sleeth served refreshments, which brought the evening to a close. Many pretty styles in low shoes for Little Girls. 'A NICE BOUNCING RUBBER BALL 5 FREE!
