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

fr House in one corner of the main floor. It was a fair size and nicely finished. In each room there was posted the price of each article in it, so we could see for ourselves that it was a thrift house in fact as well as in words. 'Our next destination was the Royal York Hotel. Here we spent about an hour. A bell boy took us through, showing us the library, reception hall, dining-room and concert hall. They were all very large and beautifully decorated. From here we went directly to the Royal Winter Fair, which was the most interesting of all to me. After looking at the flowers we went to see the fish. There were little ones, short ones, fat ones, blue ones, and many were very beautiful. One thing that impressed me deeply was a place that they had fixed up to look like a swamp. A small creek was winding- in and out through swamp grassesg on the bottom of the creek there was sand, and the familiar swamp bird, the bittern, stood in this picturesque swamp. This looked so natural that it reminded me of a particular spot at home. From the Howers we went to see the horses. We had quite a time finding them, and when we did, they were in separate stalls. Many Saskatchewan and Alberta horses were shown. The Prince of Wales' horses, from his ranch in the latter prov- ince, were there, perfectly formed, large, well-groomed and friendly. All the horse stables through which I went had box stalls, except one, so they must have been fairly comfortable. From the horse stables we went back into the Coliseum, and through it to the cattle section. There were many different kinds-all good, as one could easily see. One thing that I particularly noticed was that all the men looking after the cattle were in clean white uniforms. it was now after eight o'clock so we l-I This is station H.E.3 Vocational School, Galt, Ont., announcing.

We appreciate very much the kindness of Miss Knapp and Mr. Wholton in per- mitting us to take such an interesting and beneficial trip and we take this opportun- ity to thank them heartily. -S. .-. .-. .,. 4. .,. As you probably know, we have been doing some experiments with rats. Here is what they said when they saw them: Miss Honsberger fconquering her dis- taste,J Oh, the little darlings.

Miss Wigham, squealed Mary Math- eson, rushing into the Cooking Lab., there is a white rat in the dining room. Never mind, Mary, white rats are lucky. Mary- This one is, for 'it's had your dinner. 21 Pk if We have only had one social gathering as yet, the annual weiner roast for H. 1, 2, 3. We were accompanied by three teachers fone of whom greatly amused tus by doing- the cake walk to keep warmy. Although we have in other years gone down to the quarry, this year we trekked down to Soper park. We were laden with weiner, rolls, our own pickles, pie, candy, grapes and lemon- ade. The victuals were heartily partaken of by hungry appetites. The enjoyable even- ing closed with a round of pee-wee golf, which was given by the teachers. Our only regrets were that Miss Wigham was unable to attend. . 3 be a great success as an actress. She is getting considerable practice here at the Vocational School, along this line. It is reported that she thinks she talks too much for her own good but we think she is only keeping her voice in practise for future use. Their tallest member, Mary Matheson, is expected to run one of the most patron- ized Beauty Parlours in Innerkip. After that we think she will marry one of the prosperous young farmers, near her home town, who raises pure bred Jersey cattle. We are not quite sure of Annie Bond, 114 '
