These monthly meetings of Pickwick Lodge are wonderful portunities for bringing out not only talent, known and upnexpected, but an amount of brotherly good feeling among members fAnd Ariends that no other sort of meeting could de- velop. There is a certain snap and go and even someti a flavoring of and intellectua which is n mon as it should be in our lodges. members of Pickwick are justly proud of the name that their lodge, especially as demonstrated at these meetings, has ac- quired for making an evening passed with- in its doors an evening well and enjoyably spent.

There was an excellent attendance. President H. W. Gerrans, is to be congratulated upon the quality of the talent displayed in the pro- gramme, which was interesting through- out and of a character to make one look forward ‘with pleasure to attending many more of such gatherings, which we are pleased to say it is the intention of the lodge to continue monthly during the win- ter season. The programme was as follows: Over- ture, the orchestra; piano solo, Miss Jack, Ole Black Joe”: encore, ‘“Stars an Stripes March”; recitation, Mrs. Logue, You Put No Flowers on Papa's Grave”; song, Miss Beaufort, “Waiting,” by Mil- lard; encore, “My Lady Hottentot”; violin solo, Mr. Taylor, ‘“Hearts and Flowers”; encore, “Take Back the Heart”; song.

Hunt, "To My Love,” by Rome; encore, “The Palms.” Mrs. French presided at the plano dur- ing the evening and exhibited great taste and tact in playing the accompaniments. Miss Beaufort, in “Waiting,” was in ex- cellent voice and took the lght, high notes with great clearness and precision. Miss ‘Broadway’s song “Dream” was a great treat to a lover of music. This lady showed great taste and ability In the per- fect modulation of her voice for the pur- Poses of expression, besides a thorough understanding of the music itself. Miss Broadwood could make a ‘very ordinar song enjoyable. Mr. Leech’s recitati: are mostly in the Lancashire dialect and intensely amusing. No one to hear him Wwould fmagine he was reciting; he is so thoroughly the character he is imperson- ating. Mrs. Logue’s recitation, “By Gosh, You'll Walk.” exhibited a wonderful ap. preciation of American humor. Her ges ticulation and expression are so thorough- ly under control that they enhance the enjoyment of the subject matter of the plece Instead of, as In the case of so many lady reciters, simply getting on your nerves. Dancing followed the programme and continued until 12 o'clock. If Barnaby Lodge can bring its subsequent entertain- ments up to the standard of this ons Laurel Hall will be too small to accom- modate the attendance. Knights of Honor.
