accompany the remains of her deceasei mother mrs robinson to cashcl comctcry for interment in passing down the single street which separates the two long rows of white houses forming the old style mennonlte village one cannot help but note the striking similarity hetween these dwellings as they lie huddled among trees and shrubbery each with its quaint oldfashioned flower garden in the foreground one is not surprised therefore on entering the various homes to find here too a sameness ot color and furnishings but those of us who are better acquaint ed with the mennonlte know that it is not lack of originality or pro- gressiveness but his belief in humility and equality that causes him to live in such modest surround ings and keep him on an equal basis with his neighbors the original houses were long low one storied log structures with barn adjoining the house by means of a hall or passage opening up from this hall and separating it from the barn were store rooms where the winters supply of food and grain was kept the walls of house and barn alike were white washed a thatched roof and blue shutters on the windows gave them a quaint dutch effect of late how ever these buildings have given way to frame houses shingled and paint ed white but otherwise the archi tecture has remained unchanged the houses inside are very plain ly furnished the walls and ceiling are generally whitewashed or paint ed white or pale blue and floors bright yellow the furniture which is usually homemade consists of beds tables chair cupboards and benches and is invariably painted yellow or a wine color edged with plain black borders often good workmanship is displayed and every boy receives his manual training at home the house is usually divided in to three or more rooms of which the kitchen is by far the most im portant it is here that many savory dishes are cooked it is here that the family gathers three times daily to consume its hearty meals to say nothing of the coffee served every afternoon at four when not infrequently friends are present especially on sundays to share the zwieback peppernuts and jam which are always served with the coffee next comes the living room spacious large and shining with its freshly painted furniture and floors if the family is large it may con tain a bed besides chairs tables benches and often a wardrobe one is struck on entering by the bare ness of its walls and curtainless windows not a picture or ornament ot any kind is used to break the monotony of the large whlto spaces but on enquiring your host will explain this by quoting thou shalt not make unto thee any graven iniage or likeness of anything consequently you find neither pictures photos nor mirrors in the mennonlte home if you find a mirror at all it is a very small one which our host uses for shaving then turns to the wall lest constant use should foster vanity a unique object in every room is its huge brick or clay oven which occupies one corner of the room it is about four by nine feet and reaches right up to the ceiling it is heated from the chimney room by either straw or manure bricks a huge pile of which are prepared and dried every summer a long bench placed alongside one of these ovens makes a very cosy seat on a cold winter evening x opening up from the living room are several other rooms which are used as sleeping quarters each of these rooms contains one or two beds piled several feet high with great feather ticks and pillows en cased in cotton print covers a goodly supply of such bedding is given to every girl at marriage a chair or two with perhaps a table complete the furnishing of the bed room no matter how much wealth a mennonlte accumulates his mode ot living remains practically unchang ed but although it is hard to de tect signs of wealth among them abject poverty is unknown mennonlte dress the dress of these people is super vised as carefully ns tho building of their homes the predominating color for both men and women is black the men wear their coats fastened up closely about the necks in tho absence of collars and ties the women usually wear plain black cashmere or lustre dresses on festive occasions though on week days they wear browns and dark greens continued en page 4 the highly esteemed clerk of whitchurch township mr william crawford suffered a stroke on sun day and his condition is said to bo quite serious mr crawford was enroute to toronto with his family intending to visit one of his sons there when he took ill on the way down later he was overcome with the stroke qnd has

work of the office lake musselman is an asset to the fanner answering an article appearing in the stouffville tribune of july 9th the association wish to state some of their views the cottagers not campers of musselmans lake wish to thank the whitchurch council for the oil ing of part of the roads and filling in a dangerous spot on the eastern side of the lake we have heard that a uniformed officer is also to be on duty in the near future to regulate traffic and obliterate rowdyism the cottagers desire to make this lake one of the most popular summer resorts in ontario and are very glad to have the cooperation of the council the cottagers feel sorry that some ot the residences of the township do not apreciato tho natural beauty ot the lake and surrounding district which is being reforested by the ontario government the cottagers think they are an asset to the farmers of the district because they get the highest price for their products and often more than prices obtained in toronto growers of fruit and vegetables in the district have a ready market for their produce other farmers conduct boarding houses and as many as fifty guests is not unusual at one place surely you must agree that muselmans lake is an asset to the farmers if they wish to accept the opportunity as to the question of assessment we are unable to make reply without access to the assess ment roll there seems to he some mis understanding among some of tho permanent residences that the amount ot taxes durived from lake property does not do more than pay for the wear and tear of the roads what
