THnUSTON EDITOR ftud PB0PRIET0I5 Woman In Her Hours Of Ease Discusses Important Ques- tions Pertaining to House- hold Matters. The tifth annual cuunty convention of Women's Institutes met in Flesherton on Wednesday of last week. It seemed as if everything had conspired to make this the most successful convention yet held. The weather was ideal, the crowd large, orderly and enthusiastic, the con- vocation hall thorouishly ventilated and the papers and addresses interest.n)^ ^nd practical. Mrs. A. McGowan of Itavenna opened the convention by prayer and reading Matthew 25, followed by a few words on the use of our talents, also touching upon the horrors of the white slave tratlic. Mrs. W. H. Buut, in a few well chosen words, we'comed the delegates and spoke of the worlt being done by women and of the advancement that is being made in Bcience and discovery, and women in their hoooei should have belter methods of perforniiiiK their work than their mothers had, and should use labor-saving devices. Mrs. Henry Norton of Chatsworth re- plied. She spoke of some "f the reiiui- aites of a successful life, and asked for a definition of genius. She did not seem quite satisfied with the answers received, and quoted from Mho sayings of some famous man who claimed that genius was " one quarter talent and three-(iuarteis perseverance," which will make a man more successful than if he pi-ssessed thiee-quarters talent and one quarter perseverance. One reason why the In- stitutes have grown so rapidly is because of the perseverance of the women. Minutes of the last meeting were read and approved. The President, Mrs. S H. Breese of Chatsworth, was in a particularly happy frame of mind as slio looked at the smil- ing faces before her. She hud no set iid- dri-ss, as they would hfar frem her often enough. She said thul one reason why we like the Institute is because it touclies our everyday lives. Mrs. J. H. Sharpe of Holstein gave a practical address on " VVoinen in the home." She said the mother set an ex- ample of cheerfulness, and should always be ready to encourage the children, es- pecially the little ones, and should always show a grateful spirit. It is our highest duty to adorn the home, not with bric-a- brac that catches dust and Oikus time to keep clean, but let our boys and girls bo the chief adornfnent. She had a fond- ness for boys and wanted to see thai they had a chance to become the men that their Creator intended them to bo. Let the boys have a stood time, but don't let them chew gum, because, besides be- ing unwholesome, it is apt to bo the fore- runner of more pernicious habits. She thought we should do more entertaining for the children's sake, and less for .show and instead of leavinj? the preparation of our own clothing uutil the last we" should attend to that first, and so be ready to go out with the children ; and last, but far from least, we should train our daugh- ters to be homo-niakers. Miss Mabel Boyd sang a solo very sweetly, "Spring is coming," accompa- nied by Miss Trimble on the organ. Mrs. D. McTavish of Port Elgin was the principal speaker. Her subject was, " Some economies we should practice." She said economy does not always mean making one cent do the work of two, but rather making the best use of everything. We will only give the different points touched by the speaker, leaving our read- ers to fill in the vacancies themselves. 1â€" Economy of Dime. 2â€" Fancy cooking. We should cook less ptstry and more vholesonie foods. 3â€" Do not overdress the children. If the mother has her own work to do clothe them in dark material And allow them freedom to play. 4â€" A judicious expenditure â€" do not buy an article because it is ohesp, but yive an •ye to its durability. 5â€" Keep a strict account of your household expenses, so that if it becomes necessary you may know where to economise. U â€" Supply your family with the best of literAturr. 7^Se« thi*t every ra«mber of yo«r feni- ily gets sufticient rent, particularly the voung children 9 â€" Join the Women? Initituf e« O-Maka our homes lllippy,so that our children will develop the best oharacler possible. Mrs. Peterson of Dundalk charmed her audience with a recitation. The round table conference was cott ducted by the President, who made all the members feel so much at home that .several allowed their voices to be heard. Many felt that September would be a belter month than June iu which to hold the Convention. A vole was taken and it was decided to continue the same date â€"the middle of June. It was also de- cided that when each district held its executive meeting in the winter that a lady should be appointed to give a paper at the County Convention, and that the district be asked to pay her expenses to place of meeting. Tho suggestive ballot was used in the appointment of officers, with the follow- ing result : President, Mrs. Robert Best, Flesherton ; Vice President, Mrs. James Airth, Chatsworth ; Sec.-Treas., Mrs. (.Dr.) Peterson, Dundalk. At the evening meeting Mrs. Peterson resigned and Mr». Thurston, the former .secretary, was reappointed. X sumptuous tea was served in the btisement of the Methodist church, to which about two hundred sat down, and ample provision was made for all. Mr. John Boyd presided at the even- ing meeting, at which Mrs. McTavish gave her address, " Trainin'^ our future housekeepers.'' This lady has pasbedlhe meridian of life, but has preserved the vim and fire of youth. Her addresses are always of a practical nature. She does not indulge in small talk, nor en- deavor to arouse her audience, but strives rather to instruct. She created a most favorable impression. Mr. Putnam, the superintendeit, is to be congratulated upon having so many talented wtimen to assist him in hi.i work. Mrs. McTavish believes in higher education for women, but also believes that the highest educa- tion which a woman could receive should lend to the training of our daughters to the home, not away from it. The suc- cest'fal fanner needs a good education in his own line. Dr. Helen MacMmohy has .said that girls should bo liiUHht homo nursing ; that even a slight scratch fhould be treated with carbolic acid to prevent blood poi.soning. As the ladids dearly love recipes, .she gave them one which is too good lo be passed over. Take the while of nil egg and a small .(uantity of lard ; bejt together until wnter forms an excellent remedy for burns. The speaker believes that girls should be tau.;ht tho value of money, and should be iillonod to shop, even if they do make mistakes, and they should bo taught simplicity in dress and entertainment. This lady is able to give sound advice, as she has trained ten sons nnd daughters. Mrs. Lediard of Owen Sound was not able to be present owing lo illness, but soiic her paper to tho secretary, who read it. She made a strong plea for tho home- less boys .ind girls who, owing to dire circumstances, have not had a chance to have tho best in Iheni developed, but wh<iso sole education has been downward. She says seven out of every ten have turned out as good .-vs the average child in tho average homo. A male i|uartet composed of Messrs. Marcellus, Uolland, K. and W. VVilcock, with Mis. R. H. Wr'ght at the organ, gave three numbers which were very much enjoyed. Miss Minnio Morgan of Dundalk gave a solo. Her voice shows careful training and her solo added much to the enjoyment of the evening. Mrs. Peterson recited " The lost found," and as an encore gave Service's "Cremation of Sam Magee." This little lady is an elocutionist of no mean talent and her rendering ot these numbers was very much appreciated. An invitation to meet in Dundalk next year was accepted. Votes of thanks were tendered to the people of Flesherton and to the members of Centre Grey who had provided the tea and to all who had assisted in making the convention the success it proved lo be. The National Anthem closed the convention for 1911. A Tragedy Of the North. Three Children Drowned In Parry Sound District. Word was received here Monday morn- ing of a terrible triple drowning accident which occurred on Sunday lust at the Shawanaga river, eiuhtoen miles north of Parry Sound, on the Canadian Northern. Three little boys, 17, 15 and 13 years respectively, sons of Mr. Thomas Fawcett, went down to the river to bathe, and not returning home the father went down to look for them Tlie child- ren were not to be seen, and after some search tho three bodies were found in the water with life extinct. It is not known how the accident occurred, but it is supposed that one became overcome in the water, and the others went to his assistance and were all drowned. Mr. Fawcett is well known hero and at Kiinberley, where he lived until moving up north a few years ago. The boys were bright, industrious little fellows, and the Advance deplores with others the terrible catastrophe that has made such havoc in tho family. The names of the boys were Stewart, Fay and Willie, in order of seniority. Our deepest .sym- pathy goes out to the stricken parer. ts. Only a tew months ago Mr. Fawcett had his house and contents burned with- out any insurance, but this last tragedy makes the other loss fade into insignific- ance. Eugenia On Wednesday afternoon lost the re- mains of the lato Wm. C. Pedlar wore conveyed to thoir last earthly resting place in Salvni burying ground. The funeral was oiio of the largest ever held at Salem. If sympathy can [abate the grief of the bereaved ones they eeita'nly were shown it liy all present. The de- ceased's pastor, Uev. Mr. Milligan, piiid a glowing tribute to tho upright character of theoiie who was so suddenly snatched from Ills loving wife and children. His aged mother, brothers and sisters keenly feel their loss. God works in a mysteri- ous way, and it is hard for those sad mourners to sec through the dark clouds. Among those from a distance present at tho funeral wore : Luther Podliir and wife of Toronto, Wesley Pedlar of Ne- braska, Mrs. J. W. Uoalh of Bruce, Miss Sarah Pedlar, Mrs. Fred LeGaid and Glfinny Petch of Toronto.
