In tho evening a dance was held in at. Thomas's Sunday School. The Boy Scouts "At Home." That the Boy Scouts do not neglect' the I social graces was demonstrated by the "at homo" which they held at Kelburne on Saturday afternoon, to celebrate the opening of their new* club house. The cottage, situated on the Observatory Retsrve, had originally belonged to tho Public Works Department, but after duo representations had been made to the Hon. A. Ij. Herdman and the Hon. H. D. Bell, it was finally handed over to the scouts, the dividing walls inside taken away, and the entire building turned into one large room, for their comfort and recrention. Tho success of the undertaking was largely due to tho efforts of Scoutmasters Lawson and Grant. Brown-papered and decorated with scout designs and pictures, it was oertainly a cheery plaoo in which to foregather for their revels, or for mat- ' tors of serious import. A brief speech was made by Mr. Baldwin, who outlined the effortß which had been mado to obtain the cottage, following which came the opening speech of the Hon. A. L. Herdman, who expressed a high of boy scout movement. It helped to make ' them manly and useful. He had observed ono or two of them during the time he had already spent in the club house busy making scones, a most commendable thing in these Bervantless days. _ Tea was served, the boys waiting upon their guests with the utmost hospitality, and not least among its attractions were the beautiful hot scones tfluch they had . made themselves. Songs and recitations still further entertained the visitors, and an interesting exhibition of first an was given by the young hosts. Mrs. Baldwin assisted them in receiving and entertaining the guests. Among the latter were Mrs. Massev and Mrs. A. h. Herdman.
