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. Annie Margaret Isabel Bond- W-W-will they bite ? Recella- Oh, what long, horrid tails. Mary Matheson- I don't care for them very much. Personally we like young pigs better. 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 '

Betty McEwen, their farmerette, will soon be head of a large horse ranch in Albertag and as she says have all the cowboys running after her. Recella Washburn, after finishing her nursing course, says s'he is going to be an old maid and have lots of cats and parrots to keep her company. Bernice Lund is proving quite good in typewriting periods so perhaps she will turn toward the Commercial side of life and be a stenographer. Mary Currie, me thinks, would make a PARATU5 very good manager of a lunch-roomy so do not be surprised if you see in your evening paper soon that she has opened up the new Eatmore Lunch-Room in Campbelleville. Grace McCrea would very much like to follow the millinery line and start up a shop of her own, and in the meantime, her fellow-students think she will be help- ing to keep things lively in the Glen.
