Reception There was a good attendance at the reception given by the Parent-Teachers'ssociation on Tuesday afternoon in the .. ew Ambleside Hall, about 100 being present. Miss Anderson gave a P. very interesting and convincing address on the necessity of hav- ing a chair of kIome Economics in the University of British Columbia. Mrs. Hoskins sang and Miss Hilda Wilson played the piano. Tea was poured by , I Mrs. Dauphinee, Mrs. Elgar and ) 4 Mm. Paterson. Mrs. A. E. Young had charge of the social arrangements. Auto Collision at Fulton and Marine Due probably to the increas- ing numbers of autos in use in Canada and the United States, auto accidents of all kinds have been for sometime largely on the increase. A collision took place on Friday night at Fulton and Marine between Colonel Bruce Powley's auto and the auto of Mr. G. Currie. Mr. Currie's machine escaped with little in- jut~, while the running gear and fenders on one side of the other car were badly smashed. Neither of the drivers was hurt. Celebrating St. Andrew's Night ', A splendid aivay of musical talent has been secured for the third annual St. Andrew's con- cert, to be held in the Hollyburn Theatre on Tuesday evening, November 30th, at 7.45. "Big- ger and better than ever." The full programme of artists and items will be published later. Meantime, remember the date, ~ PPlovember 30th. Piping, danc- 'mbtg, singing, elocution. The entire proceeds of this concert will be for benevolent pu&7&uses. An Art Exhibition By J. Porter I sincerely trust that as many as possible will take advantage of a remarkable opportunity which is presented to us of see- ing a good collection of land- scapes by painters of our own time. A firm of fine art dealers, Messrs. John A. Cooling & Sons, of London, England, has sent more than a hundred pictures, which are now on view at Mr. James Leyland's art gallery on Dunsmuir Street, just east of Granville. The pictures are well shown, and Mr. Leyland telL» me that everyone, whether a school pupil or a man with empty pockets, is welcome to go a&Hi feast his eyes, free! The collection is especially strong in English pastoral land- scape, which is one of the finest things in the world. There are places around Victoria which re- call certain parts of England; but we in Vancouver have noth- ing in the least like it, so our en- ~joyment of these pictures is sure Qo be heightened by the contrast. There is a picture of Rye by the famous Turner, priced at 53,000; and we must all look at it. There is a group of watercolor pictures of the East, with wonderful skies and those marvellous ef- fects of light which we never see in temperate climates. But my own preference is a little oil painting of a scene among the Welsh hills by B. IV. Leader, No. 4G. Next to it I should put a watercolor by W. Frost, No. 13. I shall go again, if it were only to see those two.

You'd Feel Good Too if when you recommended a cough syrup to a cus- tomer they liked it so well that they would in turn recommend it to nine of their friends in two days, who also bought. This happened right in West Vancouver with Gemmill's Improved White Pine Cough Syrup. Get a bottle and keep it on hand.
