The audience was not as large as the event deserved, but those who were present were given a real musical and artistic treat seldom heard outside of the large cities. The program contained examples of folk-songs of varietd types, work songs, dance songs, sweet lullables, shepherd songs and a mnotahle group of Indian songs, weird and beautiful examples of folk-song apotheosised by the genius of a brilliant arranger. It is interesting to note that these wonderful old melodies still survive, in a large measure, un- spoilt and unaffected by the trend of modern civilization, The songs themselves are among the most beautiful that the untaught com- poser--for it is not claimed that these songs are the emanation of what might be termed communal feelings of the folk--has ever given. ( Musical Treat As sung by Madame Dussean they are an unalloyed delight. It is difficult to single out items for Delightlul Folk' Song Recital at Bowmanville by Madame Dusseau special commendation but the most arresting somgs were "Ce somt trois dames de Paris", 3 work-song with a charming accompaniment, "Mon pere n'avait fill eque moi", with an arrangement by Laliberte which vies closely with the version of "Coecilia", used and sung by Madame Yuette Gilbert, the fam- ous folk-singer of France. Two round dances, "Laquelle marierons Nous" and "Petite hirondelle" with dainty and suitable music by Healy Willan, were particularly emjoyed by the audience and beautifully vendered by the singer. Indian Songs Three Indian songs were decided- ly unique, the accompaniments creating the mystic atmosphere re- quired for such melodies. The sing- er's interpretation of these was nothing short of marvellous. She entered into the mood of each song and interpreted with all the under- standing and taste of the musician and the artist, The elaborate acs companiments Yo the Indian songs were by Ernest MacMillan and they very much heightened the ef- fect of the melodies. 'Sainte Mar- guerite" was a tenderly beautiful melody with an accompaniment of modern harmonies, rendered with great feeling by Madame Dusseau as was alsa "M'en vas a la fon- taine', the setting by Marius Bars heay. Perfect Technique After the Canadian Folk-Song program, Madame Dusseau gave of her best in Musetta's Waltz-song from "La Boheme", "Think of Me", an old Scottish song by the com- poser of "Annie Laurie" and "The Open Road', These the singer ren- dered with extreme brilliance and ease and displayed the perfect techmnique of a perfect artist. Miss Wi A most welcome addition to the evening's program was the ac- companyng of Miss Gwendolyn Williams, a local lady now touring with Madame Dusseau. We were charmed with her swebt ingenuous- ness and evident understanding of more than the mere music. Throughout the program Miss Williams rose to the requirements of her singer, weaving all the time the comtinuous mesh of background effects. The art of an accompanist Mes in the capacity to follow sym: pathetically each mood of the singer, and this Miss Willlams did in graceful and musiclanly style from beginning to end of a truly exacting program, TEMPERANCE SERVICE Bowmanville, Nov, 7.--A most interesting service was held 1a Trinity United Church om Sunday afternoon last in connection with the World's Temperance Sunday. Mrs. L. A. W. Tole acted as chair man. After the opening hymn and prayer by J. W. Morrison, a few introductory remarks were made by the temperance superintendent, W. C. Ferguson.

T.--A beautiful new flag, the gift of Miss Wray, will be unfurled in Memorial Park, at the Armistice Day service which takes place next Sunday afiernoon, A flag pole will probably be erect- ed 15 feet east of the cemotaph and the emblem of Empire will thus float proudly in the breeze above the graceful column of white stone which has been dedicated to those men of Whitby who gave their lives in the Empire's cause, during the great conflict of 1914-18. WHITBY FEELS THE EFFECT OF WIND Weigh Scales Office Door Was Torn from Its Hinges (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, Nov. 7.--1he force of the strong west wind which ragea through the town yesterday meorn- ing scattering leaves and hearing clouds of dust, was indicated by the fact that the door of the town weight-scale office, on Colborre street, was blown off its hinges.

The bishop also A fish pond [pointed out the benefits which had its |acerued to the aborigines including | {Indians and Eskimos, through the power of the gospel message. Well Patronized The banquet last night was well attended and the ladies of the {Guild lived up to their reputation as good providers. Each table was |tastfully arranged and decorated and the spread of appetizing viands tempted the appetites of all. So many 'wished to participate in the banquet that a second sitting was found necessary, The rector, Rev. J. Crisall, made a very capable chairman and introduced {the speaker of the evening, Bishop {Stringer, whom he had known while stationed as a missionary at Fort McPherson, Rev. Mr, Cris- all expressed pleasure that the {guild had been so successful at the {bazaar and banquet and was equal- ly certain that those present were likewise pleased.

Tourists There With the use of the map of Can- ada the speaker indleated the two great waterways of the far north, the Mackenzie river system and the Yukon. These regions had lately {become of tourist value, he stated and American tourists especially were realizing the beauty and nov- elty of a trip on the Yukon, Many came by steamer from Seattle inner channel and bia to Alaska. A scenic railway carried them from the coast to White Horse on the Yukon where they boarded steamers for the trip down the river. Northern Hinterland is Graphically Described by Bishop of the Yukon Bishop Stringer is Special nose communications from rela- tives and friends in the outside world, which were so keenly antie- ipated were delayed for another € months. Agriculture The speaker affirmed that there were possibilities for agriculture in 'the Yukon district which were not realized twenty years ago: Hardy vegetables, oats and even a little wheat were grown around Dawson. Herschel Island and the mainland abounded with flowers in the short Arctic summer. Vast herds of wild caribou existed about the Yukon river and it would he quite possible that reindeer could be raised with the same success which had been attained in Alas- ka. Abundance of furs also gave the country commercial value. Population Benefitted Bishop Stringer testified that the! preaching of the gospel hal brought great benefits to the Indi- ans and Eskimos. They had been found degraded and illiterate peo- ple and years of hard work wera required before the missionary jcould even make himself proner- ly understood. His messaze. hows ever, had a good influence. It raised the moral tone and restored order to tribes which had hitherto been burdened with crime. It meant a lessening of the ancient hatred between the Eskimo and the Indian and the end of the feudal quarrels which had so depleted the population of both peoples. The Eskimo had acquired gasoline schooners for his fishing enter. prises and was in a better position to provide for himself and family, In conclusion the speaker em= phasizgd, with a conviction born of years of service, (hat those more fortunately situated, have a real duty to perform for their fel- low citizens of the great northern frontiers. Mrs, Stringer favored the audi- ence with the song "Jesus Laves Me," sung in native words as {fu has been taught to Eskimo child- ren, A hearty vote of thanks for the kindness of the Bishop of Yu- kon and his wife was moved hy Mr, Wm. Downéy and seconded by 8. J.

But it is well known that extremely low Mail Twice a Year For a number of years Bishop Stringer and Mrs. Stringer were stationed at Herschel Island, the very northwest corner of the Do- minion, Here they received their mail but twice a year in April and in November, The mail would leave Edmonton and be six months on the route hefore it reaclied fits destination.
