STOCKINGS THAT ARE .=\ PLEASURE TO LOOK AT AND TO ‘YEAR.

We always look at stockings four ways when we buy them. so do you. These--

How will they LOOK? How will they FEEL? How will they WEAR? What do they COST?

Of course, stockings must look right, or you wouldn’t want them at all. Next, they must be comfortable on your feet, or you could never enjoy them. These two things you can decide when you buy them.

The others you must depend upon us to decide.

We know whether you are getting the best that the money can buy. We know that you are.

We know whether they will wear well or not. We know that they will. Or they wouldn't be here at all. '

Now it's high time m buy them. This is the safe store for stocking buying.

Tllli P.1d. ISLAND iiosrrihua —‘

The annual contributions to the Prince Edward Island Hospital are due on the first day of November We say DUE advisedly. This is not a charity or a gift, it is a debt, a debt which everybody owes and is will- ing to pay as his or her share-of the burden which Christianity and civiliaztion demand that we bear one for another. -

As stated in the announcement elsewhere in this issue by Mr. W. K. Rogers, Chairman of Trustees, the Hospital “has been given free and unencumber- ed to the people of Prince Edward Island for the noble purpose of saving life and relieving suffering," There is scarcely a schood district in the province whose sick have not been cared for in this institut- ion; there isnot a school district from which any day some one may be sent to undergo an operation or treatment to save his or her life. The obligation to support the hospital is as far reaching and as bind ing as the Christian injunction. “Bear ye one anoth- er’s burdens and so fulfil the law of Christ.”

It is pointed out in the appeal of the Trustees that “the rates paid by patients are not sufficient to make the Hospital self sustaining.” It would e a lasting disgrace to this province if they were, The fees are not sufﬁcient; patients who can pay do so; those who cannot are received and treated with as much care, with as much skill, with as much kind"- neiss and patience as the wealthiest. If the l-Iospital were a commercial enterprise it would receive only lhosevwho could afford to pay and pay well; the poor and the needy would find no place in it. It is because it is not a commercial undertaking, because it is the highest expression of human sympathy and of Christ ian duty that the annual contribution is being ask- ed for, and iteis because we believe in the Christian benevolence of our people that we expect this year's contributions will be larger than ever before.

This appeal is being made to the people of Queens and Kings Counties and Charlottetown. Prince County having its own Hospital to maintain. We trust country and ci_ty alike will remember their obligation and respond as generously as this splen- did institution (lcserves.

I‘l’]ll.l(‘ OPINION.

the Atlantic are amazed at the madness that has seir: ed public opinion over in Europe. Among the illiter- ate people of Russia the spread of Bolshevism is per- haps not so lnucli to lie-wondered at, but in (ircal Britain we had not expected it. In Scotland, the laud of Knox, and Bilrns and Carlyle, the land of churches and of universities; in England the source and spring of English literature and culture; in poetic and indus trious Wales-all now seething with red propaganda

,and almost if not quite rebellion. Why is it, whence comes it? Degeneracv, a falling. away from the ideals of only a generation zigo, it undoubtedly is. And we wonder why. ,-'

The explanation is not far to seek. Public opin-

ion is forined through association, through organiza tion, through leadership. Over a million miners in var ious groups have formed themselves into unions, these unions into a larger union. One doctrine has been persistently preached to them, the rights and the claims of the laboring classes; the oppression of the capitalists. Much of this was well founded. The lab- oring classes have had their grievances; the capital- ists had imposed upon them, but one side of the ques tion only had been dinned into their ears and the

Iremedy. domination, was also insisted upon. This be- came the prevailing public opinion and today we

find them practically iii open rebellion with the pros pect of starvation and want and even of bloodshed before them. What is in store for them, what the settlement will be it were useless to predict but the fall within a few short years is a revelation and a warning to the W0l‘l(l.

What are we iloing to mould public opinion? Are the springs from which it is (lerived here pure and wholesome or are we letting it form itself on tile streets, in schools that are not schools? We have our clubs. our organizations, our places of amusement. Public opinion is being formed in these. Of what kind is it? Are we dwelling on the frivolous only or are we looking to the future of our children and of our country. Our places of amusement are crowded, our lecture halls, our literary societies, our mutual im- provement societies, where are they?

It has been said that the quality of public opinion in any community may be fairly diagnosed by noting the attendance at its places of amusement and at its more serious meetings. Of the latter, uii- fortunately, we have few outside the regular church services. We trust that when the opportunity offers we may measure up to the high standardwhich we have a right to expect in a cultured city. One of these opportunities will ‘be affordedMonday night when Major A. A. Bartlett will delivera lecture on Venice the Beautiful, a city he visited some time ago and which he is well capable of describing. Let us see to it that this rare opportunity to hear about and to see one of the most beautiful cities in the world is taken advantage of. It will be an education and will help to create a wholesome thirst for the things that hiat-
