THE W. C. T. U.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR. Sir, — I have just read a letter in a late issue of the Star sigued " Cassius." In his remarks upon the Oake and Apron Fair lately held under the auspices of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, " Oassius " is severe upon its promoters, whether deservedly or not, it is not needful that I should give an opinion. However, personally, as one of the members of the Union, I may say that no oue more than myself regretted what very quickly became apparent the oversight in not having a programme, nor an M.C. to request a cessation of the running stream of talk during the kind efforts of friends — and members as well — to contribute to the pleasure of the evening. We are beginuers in matters of the kind and are quite desirous of improving upon the experience. The good taste of " Cassius " criticism is questionable. What is tolerated inside the taproom of an hotel, few women, fortunately, are given to know, but I do think that imagination on his part has helped the comparison for I was utterly unconscious that there was anything approaching to either uproar or absolute insult on the part of a single person in the room. I am, etc., Leaflet.
