Laffalot Girls Concert On Friday evening last a large and enthusiastic crowd attended the Laffalot Girls Concert in the Greenwood Theatre. Once again the Club's efforts proved a great success. The choruses, songe, dances and the play were all well received by the audience. The eostames for the choruses were very attractive and the songs well rendered. The colored lighting effect was very brilliant. Tb* opening number '-'Moonlight and Roses" brought forth much applause, while "Who Takes Oare of the Caretakers Daughter" caused a great many hearty laughs. Twenty-six young ladies took part in the choruses. The next item on the program, the Dutch Dance, performed by little Miss Lorna Terhune and Master Lewis Clerf was loudly applauded, in fact they were called upon for a repetition of ths whole dance. The "Jumping Jacks Danes" given by Miss Ruth Axam and Misa Cicilia Hallatrom was equally well carried oat. Miss Renie Skilton and Miu Silvia Price sang "Love Time ia Hawaii" very sweetly, while Min Ruby Goodeve and Misa Mildred McLaren also scored with their- character acting song 'entitled "Everything is HotBy Totsy Now." Six .of the younger children, namely June Toney, Dorothy Boag, Dorothy Garrie, Celia Klinosky, Alice Ritchie, and Valeria Cudworth sang "Kid Days" very well. *��� The play "Dodging an Heireaa" then followed. It was exceedingly well staged. Mies Isabel Keir as Mrs. Phillington acted her part in a very able manner as the mother of Ed. Phillington who was cleverly impersonated . by Miss Ruth Axam, while . Miss Vera Walmsley was excellent as Mr. - Phillington.. She caused a good many laughs with her funny makeup and odd movements. Miss Vera Kempston was very charming aa the young "Heiress" and Mies Helen Kerr "as Dickey Love- joy admirably portrayed her part. Miss Ruby Goodeve as Mrs. Paulson caused a great deal of amusement with a photo of her lata husband and her canary. Miss Mildred McLaren as Mrs. Sinclair, mother of the young heiress, waB very dignified and acted well. Miss Renie Skilton as. pretty Miss Kitty Armstrong was most attractive and Miss Cicilia Hallstrom as Cecile, personal maid to Miss Sinclair car- ried out her part extremely well. Miss Irene Ingiis as the bntler bronght forth a hearty laugh___even_ though she- only appeared twice,' her make-up being too fanny for words. Tbe maid, Miss Cleo Toney, kept everything in good order. Miss Sylvia Price as the factory girl was most amusing, while Miss Tillie McDonell and Mies Margaret Royce made very alert policemen. Miss Lorna Terhune returned to the stage at the close of -the play dancing an Irish Jig and increased her, popularity with the audience even more. The program came to an end when the members of the Club gave their ,Cinb Yell after which the Kationai Anthem was song. Three hearty cheers and a tiger were given for the Laffalot Girls before the crowd dispersed. There were a number of things which helped to make this entertain, ment such a social and financial puccess. -First of all the untiring/ efforts of each member of the Clnb, then the help of Mrs. Terhune who presided at tbe piano, Mrs. M. 8. Taylor who instructed She dancers, and Mrs. P. H. McCurrach, Mrs. James Kerr and Geo. Clerf for their assistance daring the practices and oa the final night. Greenwood is fortunate in having such a live organization as the Laffalot Girls Club and no end of praise,is doe them for the work they accomplished in giving the citizens of Greenwood and district a chance to have a real pleasant evening's enjoyment. The Dance that followed in the Masonic Hall, under, the auspices of the Womens Hospital Auxiliary, was well attended and very enjoyable.

For more Uian a. year Jorgenseu and llie crew of Iiis slii;> Teddy, which sailed from Copenhagen in June, 19_>2, to explore the ice-fanged coast of Northern Greenland for colonization and mineral purposes, lived on a floating iceberg. For noprly two years their only food consisted of Arctic animals which tliey were able to catch, shoot or trap. And a toss of a coin finally saved their lives. Soon after reaching the Arctic regions on his hazardous undertaking, Jorgeusen's little ship was caught in tut ice drift, and crushed to pieces, 'rhe explorer and his companions managed to salvage the cabin of the vessel and a few months' supply of food. They moved the cabin to the centre of a big iceberg tind hoped it would drift 400 miles to Southern Greenland , and civilization, but instead of their mountain ol' ice drifting it became marooned in the ocean of melting bergs, and each day their island home -became smaller.

XX: The Latest Handwriting Movement to Improve Legibility of Handwriting of School Children A determined movement to improve fhe legibility of the handwriting of school children has been undertaken in a New York private school. Thc masters concluded t.o teach "Broad Edged Pen Writing," which was perfected in England by Graily Howett. Although this style of handwriting is becoming almost: universal in England, after an experiment of several years, it has been taught in this country for only two terms. The writing is remarkable because of the speed and legibility with which ���. lit can be produced. Fifth grade chil-1 j divn, it has been found, can form near-1 ! ly one-third more letters a minute by j using the new methods. Older children have its striking success. The broad edged pen, with which it is produced, and the letter forms, Hew'ott developed after an exhaustive study of medieval manuscript. In his researches, he concluded that the monks who copied books by hand, before the invention of printing, must have been specialists in handwriting and must, from their own necessity, have discovered tho fastest and most legible methods of writing. Spencerian and other "modern" styles of handwriting, Howett found, were developed in an effort io copy tho style of copper-plate engraving. This new handwriting closely resembles print, not because it is tut imitation of type forms, but because the type forms were originally cast with a manuscript lettering as models and ihe type forms have retained ' their original characteristics while handwriting styles were changing.���Mc- Clure's Magazine.

September, Ocjfober or November i.s bound'to be labelled "Indian Summer" hy the amateur weather prophets, aud every mortal practices to some degree this sort of prognostication. And just as often as Indian summer is identified somebody wonders where the name caine from and if there is any fixed date for the arrival of this summer'postscript. Indian summer i.s also known as St. Martin's summer, St. Martin's festival falls on November 11, and Indian summer is due about the same date, perhaps it little earlier or later, its it may happen, or even as late as early Decent:'ier. Lute summer weather of September and the autumn days of October are not to be mistaken for Indian summer. A succession of hazy days of delicious mildness, following a spell of cold, stormy weather, constitutes the true Indian summer. llut why is this return of summer- like weather called Indian summer'.' A plausible derivation is seen in the old Indian custom of harvesting corn in this season. Another theory is that the Pilgrims gave It its name when they were told by the Indians that. Mimmev would return after the first spell of winter. An interesting explanation is given in the "Notes" of lir. Joseph Doddridge, born in 17C3, it student of the folklore, traditions and history of the Indians and early settlers. He traces the origin of the name to the fact, ihat the incursions of lho savages against the white settlers, which were interrupted by the arrival of winter, were resumed during the period of warmer weather usually experienced in New England iu the late autumn. ���Montreal Herald.

Southern Alberta's irrigated districts, with their large fielda of alfalfa and sweet clover, promise to become the beekeeper's paradise within the next five years. Two years ago, less than 10,000 pounds of honey were produced in Alberta. Last year, 60,000 pounds were produced ��� and 32 carloads imported into. the West to supply the demand.
