It is remarkable that this increase, which figures out at 4%, is not only the largest as to percentage but also to actual numbers in the whole of the province including Vancou- ver. It is only another indica- tion of the growth and progress of West Vancouver. During the period in question the total in- crease in telephones wss 42 for all the North Shore. Mrs, Roderick Peck chose a novel and delightful way of ent- ertaining for iHiss Esther King, whose wedding to Mr. William blurphy will be an outstanding event of next week. It was a beach party held at her lovely home at Glen Eagles on the North Shore. Situated on a high clifF, amidst a setting of natural beauty, one has a perfect view of the sea and mountains. Just below on the beach gaily-colored umbrellas and cushions were ar- ranged. Many of the guests wore attractive beach pyjamas for the affair. Mrs. Peck, the hostess, chose nautical ones of white fiannel with wide flares, edged with silk braid, and a polo shirt of blue jersey. Mrs. Neville Cumming's were of green linen with a zipper efi'ect at the side, and the belt was buckled with a huge hook and eye. Blue was favored by Mrs. Jack Crane, whose costume featured the blue trousers with flared insets of striped material, which also bordered the short blue jacket and the neckline of the white blouse. Mrs. Waiter Owen's were of vivid blue and white in wide stripes. A yoke inset fitted about the hips of the full trous- ers.
