BUT YESTERDAY But yesterday And all the orchard trees were bare, The grasses withered, brown and sere, The morning chill, the twthght drear The gardens in the wintry air The somber hue of dun despair, But yesterday. But Yesterday And every hope and joy seemed dead, Gone with the sighing of a breath, Gone at the beckoning of death, A shadow on the grass. Love fied, A vagrant arrow, blindly sped, But yesterday. Gone yesterday Today the blossoms on the trees, The morn of Spring from AVinter's night, The pallid lilies, chaste and white- My soul with faith clear-visoned sees One God, one Life, on Love in these, No Yesterday. CARD OF THANKS Mrs. William Bonnalie, Mrs. W. H. Thompson and Mrs. Mar- garet R. Chadsey wish to ex- press their sincere appreciation of the sympathy and kindly feel- ing extended to them in their recent bereavement. BURRARD FUNERAL CHAPEL B. D.

Eleanor Goard, pupil of Keith Lynn School, and Betty Brad- ford, pupil of Hollyburn School, were chosen the two maids of honor. They will be the prin- cipals in the May Day festival to be held at Mahon Park on Emipre Day, when the present May queen, Christian Leighton, and maids of honor, Valerie Rer- rie and Molly Clark, wi]] relin- quish office. Mayor G. H. Morden, assisted by Ald. Charles Cartwright, con- ducted the drawing on behalf of the May Day committee and the theatre was packed to the doors with supporters of the eleven candidates participating in the election. When slips of paper bearing the names of the candidates had been placed in glass jars, little Ruth McConnell was called from the audience to draw the slips. As there were only three of- fices to distribute among the eleven candidates, the following eight other participants in the contest will form a special guard of honor for May queen-elect Jean 5'Iu]cahy and her maids of honor--Hattie Young, Margaret 14cCord, Margaret Lucking, Mar- garet Murphy, Jessie Band, Joyce Binns, Lily Clifton and Margaret Toddun--these candi- dates representing various schools in all sections of the North Shore. Previous to the election Mayor Morden explained that since the inception of the May Day festi- val here by the Elks, seven years ago, the event has grown in pop- ularity to such an extent that't is almost impossible for one organization to handle it. He in- vited all other interested North Shore organizations to take an active interest in the festival by sending representatives to the meetings of the May Day com- mittee which will be held in theElks'all each Monday evening until the date of the festival. Following the Empire Day fe,stivities, members of the royal party will be the guests of the Elks at the May Day banquet and will at 8 o'lock proceed to the Drill Hall to lead the grand march at the May Day ball which will bring the day's activities to a close.
