It was also learned that Mrs. McKinnon did pay off the mortgage amount- ing to $649.36 and had transfer of the insurance policy thereon made to herself, and also placed other insurance payable to: her- self. At this time Mrs. McKinnon had paid to the plaintiff four monthly payments of $5.00, but so soon as the plaintiff learned what had taken place he refused to accept any further monthly Payments. Prior to the com- mencement of the action on the 21st day of October, the plaintift |tendered to Mrs. McKinnon 8697.- 85, the amount so paid .by her jlogether with interest and costs, jand requested her to execute a [transfer of insurance to plaintiT and to execute a quit-claim deed to the plaintiY of said lands, but Mrs. MeKinnon refused. | In her defence Mrs. McKinnon stated that she had froin time to time supplied her father, prior to this action, with clothing and ready money and was always very affectionate and kind to him. She said her father has been in the best of-health for several years back.. She admitted that twenty years ago he was troubled with stomach trouble, but since that time he hax never complained and seemed always to be in the best of health: his mental con- dition at all times being efficient. Specific denial was made of her father's statement regarding what immediately preceded the signing of the deed. She said it was her father's suggestion that she accompany hii to the office} of the solicitor to have an ar-| rangement made between them. It was her 'father who suggested that this arrangement be in writing.

The presentation was made in the G. W.V. A. room, whieh was filled by members and others in- terested in their welfare. Fred | Morren, President of the Branch, opened the meeting and then called upon Mrs. Stewart. In a few words, Mrs. Stewart | spoke of the efforts made to keep the Simeoe men at the Front regularly supplied with various things that would minister to their comfort. The uncertainty of transportation had made this | a difficult matter, yet most of | the parcels reached the men. It was a pléasure for the ladies to he able to continue their work of giving comforts to the men. One practical way had suggested | itself, viz, to make the G.W.V.A,| club or ns mere comfortable, and home-life. To this end she asked the Vet ny tu accept on behalf of th Field Comforts workers, a very handsome ches- terfield and rhair and a fine Weber piano. Towards the cost of the latter, keneroys donations had been received from Mr, W. A. Turner ang others interested in the recent Business College dance and from Mr. A. F. Garrett. Mrs. Hubbard also had helped, by the presentation of $25 raised for the Veterans.
