The'vriter has to acknowledge that theentire burden of these funictions fallsuipon Mrs. Owen. As a social enter-tainer he confesses himself to be aconspicuous failure, and at a tea-fightif he is flot exacdly a ghoul at the feast,his presence is chiefly useful as placinga wholesome 'restraint upon an over-exuberance of animal spirits and check-ing the boisterousness of some of thelivelier guests. The Thursday sewing,party seems tel have become an estab-lished institution, and as it is possiblefor tongues and needies to be busy atonce, we presumne a certain amount ofuseful work is accomplished amidst thechatter.

The sleighing party on the i 2th wasa great success. About seventy girlsaccepted Mrs. Owen 's invitation andset forth at 8 p.m. in two enormousconveyances, each drawn by four horsesto the acconipaniment of immenselaughter and general clatter of tongues.The drive lasted for two h ours, andeveryone seemed to consider that theybiad bad a "real good time."

And now that the Editor is ýtddressing the girls, to each of whom, exceptthose over age, he fils the position, ast)r. Barnardo's Chief Agent in Canada,of sole guardian in the eyes of the ]aw,may he add a brief word of serionscounisel ? He urges the boys, to bemanly, to cultivate true manliness, andhe would in turn urge the girls to bewomnanly; to strive after the grace ofmanner and disposition, the unselfish-ness, the modesty, the self-restraint thatmake the sweetness as well as thestrength of true, pure womanhood; tocheck in themselves and in others thefrivolity, the giddiness, the craving foradmiration, the love of finery, that arethe slippery moss with which the devilclothes the steep and treacherous siopeiat ieads surely and swiftly to the deep),&lark p)recipîc-e where the i)ow'ers of c-vilawaiî ticir victinm.
