4 THE MIRROR IN THE PUBLIC EYE The many friends of G, A. Frang, dist- rict Manager of the Canada Life Co., | for the past three and a half years, are congratulating him on his well merited promotion to the position of Branch Manager for Northern' Al- berta of the same company with headquarters at Edmonton. Mr. Prang's important promotion coming as it does in only four years from his joining the company, is a high tribute to his ability. The Com- pany in this short time has become strongly entrenched in Stratford and the surrounding district. Mr. Prang leaves on April 17th for P ; K ; L y the West, and for the time being his & ae family will remain in Stratford, but will move to Edmonton some _ time during the summer.

Store has a way with women, If anything in the whole city could convince you that Spring had come, it was the Spring Fashion Dis. play at this up-to-date store this week. Many thought it even more beautiful than in past years, The whole store is pulsing with interest everywhere you' go these early Spring days, for merchandise from all over the busy world is pouring in, Pussy-willows in slender receptacles bring a breath of the woods to the ex quisite silks and crepes blossoming with half blown roses, to the little hats, brimming over with style, to the graceful accessories! Spring frocks that fairly exude the breath of Paris in the _ springtime glorify the Ready-to-Wear Depart- ment. They are of the smartest sports materials and in unusual col- or combinations. compose and _ other wise. Afternoon dresses rivalling gossam- er webs in delicacy of material and design, introduce smart _ individual touches which reveal the chic and personality of the wearer. "From top to bottom of Fifth Av- enue, black and white is the rage!" This is the D. F..Co#s) last advice from New York, so the store is mak- ing a special feature of black and white. Coats of black and_ white tweed with trimmings of black and white calfskin or white krimmer are in the aSsortment. They are _ also showing stunning black and white frocks--with large sizes too. The sports frocks are the last word with their Bulgarian embroidery, hem- stitching and French shirring, which is so chic. Interesting coats are in shadow plaids in soft tones and in basket weaves; others are of unusual tweeds, kasha lined and a few are of plain materials. One we like is a black and white shadow plaid with black and white calfskin collar. And most of these | coats are very moderate in price. Did you see those French chintzes in the House Furnishings Depart- ment? There is one of a rich rose and gold design over a background of vivid blue. Another has four love- ly shades in a floral design on 4&4 ground of golden cream. Yet both of these are soft and harmonious, blend- ing with any color scheme. Indeed "color" is the predominating note im the lovely silken draperies, without making them bizarre or startling.

THE MIRROR Interesting Services At Centennial Church The reopening of the newly dec- orated auditorium of Centennial Ev- angelical Church was marked in a special manner on Sunday last. Rev. J. B. Dengis, the minister, presided at the interesting services. Rev. George Rowland, B.D., minister of Knox Presbyterian Church preach- eed a scholarly sermon on "The Sig- nificance of Beauty" in the morning. while Rev. S. R. Knechtel of New Hamburg, spoke inspiringly at the evening service. The choir, under the leadership of R. A. Reid, rendered appropriate music for the day. The decoration is beautifully simple in treatment and results in an exceedingly restful atmosphere. The congregation and Minister are to be congratulated on the success of their efforts to produce real beauty in their interior decoration, com- bined with a home-like air, which is very appealing. Generous offerings were received at all the services. SUCCESSFUL TEA STAGED Those people who failed to be pres- ent at a tea given by the Ladies' Aid of St. John's United Church, at Mrs. John Whyte's spacious home, Wil- liam Street, missed a very enjoyable time. Of course we expect the ladies to enjoy such social affairs, but the Mirror heard two men, who had slipped in to see what was going on, admit it was very pleasant indeed. Mrs. Whyte was assisted in receiv- ing the guests by Mrs. T. N. Nether- cott, president of the Aid, and Mrs. W. Stanley Owens. The tea table was charmingly 'adorned with daffodils in a silver basket and tall green tapers. Mrs. Stanley Huff was general convenor of the affair and Mrs. C. K. Kepkay was treasurer. A delightful program was rendered at the tea hour. Miss Pearl Tucker gave a piano selection, the Ladies' Quartette, vocal numbers, and a piano number by Miss Winni- fred Petterson.

PUBLIC UTILITIES GIVES ITS OFFICIAL APPROVAL The Public Utilities Commission has given its official O.K. to the plans to re-organize the Chamber of Commerce along new lines by agree- ing to take memberships for each commissioner. The council is also to take out membershipus so. that the municipal bodies of the city will be well represented. The idea is to try and line up a representative mem- bership of about 300 to carry on this very necessary organization. It need not be called the Chamber of Com- merce if any other name is preferred. In fact it might not be a bad idea to change its name since its nature is to be altered somewhat. WHITE FUNERAL SERVICE R.
