ing entertained a number of young friends at her home. Miss Mary Irving and Miss Mytian Darby as- sisted Mrs. Irving, and the evening was a very pleasant one for all pres- ent.

Mr. Harold Harper was also well known by the young people here, and all are very much grieved by his accident and trust that he may be able to withstand the great shock and injury he received in the wrecking of his train at Tlgnish.

The fishermen of Murray Harbor believe that more men than previ- ous years will go down to the sea to fish this year. Some who have been fox ranching for perhaps twenty-five years this caring will find themselves trapping fish in- stead of foxes.

While Murray Harbor and vicin- ity are not so cumbered with snow as are other parts of the Island fur- ther west, there is plenty, for roads . and some to spare. The clear, cold, sunny days are being thoroughly en- l joyed by all who are moving out of ‘doors.

Miss Lona. Jenkins,

Mt. Albion.

Dear Ionaz-‘Iliis certainly is not the first time we have met at your home to have a good time. but it is the first time we have met in. the way we have tonight, sepecial- ly to wish you the best of every- thing in the coming years.

We shall miss you, for you are the type of girl people do miss, al- ways ready and willing to do your part in everything worthwhile. We are glad that you are going into a life of service-for nursing is look- ed upon as one of the highest ways of serving mankind.

We wish you health, a steady nerve, and a vision clear to enable you to face the difficult situation- and a heart kept responsive to the love of Jesus, who gave His life in service.

We expect to see you often, Inna. You cannot get away from us, re- member that, even if you never come back ito Mt. Albion to live, there will always be a part of you in our hearts to stay. so you can- not escape us. '

Please accept this small token of our friendship.

Signed on behalf of your friends in Mt. Albion and surrounding dis- tricts-M. '
