Caledonians Welcome New Settlers

One of the jolliest dances held in the
district was given by the Caledonian
Society in Gifford hall last Friday, the
occasion being chiefly to welcome the
Several newly-arrived families from
Scotland. Newcomers present were
Mr. and Mrs. Gibbold, Mr. Blacklock,
Mr. and Mrs, Whitman, Mr. and Mrs.
Walker, Mrs. and Miss Inglis, Mr. and
Mrs. C. Nicholson, Mr. and Miss B.
Nicholson, Mrs. Rennie. A pleasing
solo was rendered by one of these, pro-
viding with the clever dances by little
Miss Cameron of Bellingham, happy
interludes to the floor numbers. The
old country arrivals were surprised, but
nevertheless pleased, to find that their
compatriots of long residence in this
land could yet ereditably display the
figures and steps of the old-time schot-
tishe and the ‘‘squares.’’ While the
popular numbers drew to the floor ca-
pacity crowds of dancers, there were

The attendance at Abbotsford theatre
for showings. of ‘‘The Lost World’’
eclipsed in numbers any picture show
andience present in the local hall be-
fore. While the ‘‘plot’’ of the picture
was ordinary, the photography was re
markably fine. The picture appealed
particularly for its depiction of the
scientific conception of prehistoric life,
and also for its astonishingly elever
illusory.

Tt is expected there will be a strong
representation of Abbotsford ladies pre-
sent at the annual conferance of the
women of Yale Deanery of the Angli-

ie on June 8. The program, which is an
interesting one, commences at 1 p.m.
