ST. PATRICK'S CATHEDRAL CHOIR HOLDS FIRST ANNUAL FUNCTION

EFFECTIVE DECORATIVE SCHEME Effective and striking decorations were used in Scots Hall last evening, when St. Patrick's Cathedral Choir celebrated its first annual dance. Q.REEN and yellow streamers were intertwined and festooned overhead. and also draped the balustrade. In the supper-room similar decorations were deftly employed, with palms and daffodils adorning the tables, and tall, slender baskets of arum lilies flanking each pillar. A canopy structure of pendant j streamers made a unique setting for Jack Rowe and his orchestra, who | played enlivening dance melodies, j With Mr. Leo Whittaker, who is j choirmaster, as president, Mr. Peter : O’Malley as secretary, and members of the choir as the committee, the success of the function was complete to the minutest detail, and enjoyment was the keynote of the evening. Teh guests -were received at the entrance by the hostesses and patrons, j who gave a cordial greeting to all.

AFTER STRENUOUS HOURS Here is a simple method of erasing that tired feeling and appearance after a hard day’s work. A warm bath and a cold shower is the first essential. The face should then be massaged with cold cream, which is afterwards removed with a smooth piece of ice. The eyes may be brightened by bathing them in diluted boracic acid water, and resting for at least . rmnu^:es i Q a- darkened room, with pads soaked in witch hazel for each eye. New life is given by this treatment, and it is quite surprising how much better one feels. A MERRY PARTY ‘'Good-day, Jack, that waa sure some party last night. How are you feeling this morning?” “Not too good, I’m afraid—pretty tired—that morning-after-the-night-be-fore feeling, you know.” “I thought so!” “Your trouble, old chap, is you do not take proper care of your nerves. You should have taken a dose of Marshall's Fospherine this morning when you got up. That would have recharged nervous system and remedied that “lack-a-daisical” feeling. You try it next time.” “Marshall’s” is indeed great stuff for “worn out” nerves. It supplies that nourishment which they are unable to obtain from your everyday food—phosphorus. Builds up the wasted nerve tissues, and imparts new life and energy to both mind and body. Get a six-sided carton from your! chemist or storekeeper, 100 doses for f 2s 6d, _ 12 j
