Scott, timidly- Whiskers on the face of the earth, sir. :Ez :la is An American was touring Scotland. He came upon a lake fed by a little stream and in amazement turned to his guide and said That is a wonderful lake, if we had it in America we should soon make good use of it. You can have it, said Sandy. Here's how you can get it over there, get a one-inch pipe, put one end in this lake, take the other end to America, and. if you're as good a sucker as you are a blower you'll soon have it there.

Home Economics ' OUR CLASS TRIP TO TORONTO By Marion Smith, I-I3 Our form met at the Galt Canadian Pacific Railway Station, and .went down to Toronto on the six-forty-three train. This took us about an hour and three- quarters, so you can see we had ample time to take in the scenery. It struck me that the country through which we passed was very much the same as it is around Galt. In one particular place I noticed a number of stump and stone fences. From this I concluded that the land had not been cleared so long as it has around here, for if it had, you would find the fences falling down and rotting away. We arrived in Toronto about half-past eight, and the first thing we did was to examine the large Union Station, and look at the displays in the show-cases of the tunnels leading up to the Royal York Hotel. There was some tooled leather- work here in which we were interested, but, of course, we could not spend too much time in one place so hurried on, and went to Simpson's, where we spent the rest of the morning. At Simpson's there was a large de- partment taken up with lamp shades, in which we were naturally very much in- terested. We examined the materials out of which they were made, noticed the designs and the stands, and were greatly surprised at the high prices, we soon began looking forward to seeing how high the article mgiht be. Avon House proved very interesting also. It was made in the style of the original house, but was furnished with modern conveniences. A lady took our party through anothelt house which was filled with copies of orig- inal antiques, and which was decorated in the same style. It was interesting to notice the different ways in which the people of the different periods decorated their Walls. At about eleven o'clock we left Simp- son's and went to Eaton's where we exam- ined a few of the hats until about a quarter to twelve. I noticed that the majority of the hats were dark brown or green, the brown ones in particular being trimmed with large feathers, which re- minded our whole party of the hats the women of fifty years ago used to wear. We had our dinner in the Georgian Room and our group were all ready for it. I did not know that one could get so tired by just looking around, so we certainly were ready for a rest and some refresh- ments. We all felt much better, after our enjoyable dinner, and ready to be moving. The whole party looked through Eaton's once more, examining the way the leather and ribbon flowers were made, getting new ideas for Christmas gifts, and looking at the tooled leather work. We then went through Woolworth's, as it is in the same block, before going up to Eaton's new store. The thing we took the most interest in he1'e Was the Thrift 112 1
