An Appeal
For Help

Urgent Appeal for Arnistance For

The following communication from
the secretary-treasurer of the A\}-

berta Women's Inatitutes, was
ceived by the North Saanich
men's Institute, and read at
regular meeting last week:
‘Perhaps you have heard that the
Alberta Women’s Instftuies have un-
dertaken to clothe those people in
need in the drought-strecken area in
the south of Alberta.

Irving else-
where. About $3,000 has been spent
on new materials, mostly footwear.

“Were it thought advisable, I am
sure we could raise the needed cloth-
ing and funds by inaugurating a pub-
licity campaign, but you can readily

understand that for the good of our, 80des in the annals of the hotel took!
place in 1886, when the Duke of Bra-'

province and in consideration of our
people such a course wil! be our last
resort.

“T have been wondering if the
Women’s Institutes of British Colum-
bia would come to our help. We
would be glad to pay all express
charges on second-hand clothes and
bedding.

“These people have had complete
crop failures since 1916, though they
have put in big crops each year. I
am enclosing a clipping from the
Calgary Herald as follows: ‘Could
the readers see the piles of letters

received from these settlers and from !°

the school teachers telling of how
their pupils cannot afford clothing
and footwear and therefore cannot
attend school, there would be the
most thorough searching of cup-
boards and attics to see what could
be found to send to these families,
who through no fault of their own
are obliged to ask for aid.’ ”’

Contributions of money should be
sent to Marion M. S. Rogers, secre-
tary-treasurer Alberta Women’s In-
stitutes, Fort Saskatchewan, Alta.

Contributions of clothing may be
left at the Review office, and if the
bundle is too heavy to carry, either
Mr. A. Critchley or the Sidney Trad-
ing Co. motor will call for them.

As thie is a most worthy object, it
is hoped that the people of this com-
munity will respond in a liberal man-
ner. Contributions of clothing should
reach thia office not later than April
17, when memberg of the Institute
will attend to the shipment of the
same.

_|Paris Hotel

Torn Down

Famous Paris Hotel Being Re
modeled for Banking Pur-
poses.

The transformation of the Place
Vendome, Paris, might well form the
subject of a picturesque chapter of
history.

From a quiet, dignified ‘“quare,

flanked by Government offices and
stately private houses, it has pecome
thia

the space of half a century.

a business centre, and within

The
Hotel Bristol, founded in 1867 by an
Icnglishman, Mr. Morlock, was taken
ver recently by an American bank.
and now the necessary alterations

are rapidly going forward. In 1867

the Bristol was considered ‘the best!

‘situated and most elegant of the ho-
tels of the time,’’ and in 1871 its for-

tunes were crowned by a visit from:

_the future King Edward VII. Other
. Royal personages followed the ex-
ample of the then Prince of Wales,
‘and the Hotel Bristol can boast a
i number of Royal autographs not to
be found in many European hotels.

One of the most inieresting epi-

'ganza, afterwards the ill-fated King
of Portugal, met there his future
bride, the Princess Amelie of France.
‘It was the Prince of Wales who ar-
ranged this meeting.

, “I was asked by the Prince,”’ said
Mr. Morlock, owner of tue hotel, ‘‘to
arrange for an exceptionally careful
lunch for four persons. When the
time came, the Comte de Paris and
‘the Princess Amelie drove up to the
hotel, and the presentation to the
Duke of Braganza took place in the
‘apartments of the Prince of Wales.”
Portraits of King Edward as a
, young man, in middle age, and as
; King, all autographed, adorn’ the
walls of the hotel, which has shelt-
ered many other Royal visitors, in-
cluding King George V and Queen
| Mary, Queen Alexandra, King George
of Greece and King Albert.

Mr. Morlock recounted that King
Edward had a horror of photograph-
ers, and before he left the hotel a
scout was sent out to make sure that
the Place Vendome did not contain
a single camera. On his arrival in
Paris King Edward usually consult-
ed the proprietor of the hotel as to
which theatres were best worth a
visit.

The conversion of the Bristol will
deprive Paris of a landmark which
has been familiar to British visitors
to Paris for many years. Fortunate-

ly, the facade will remain the same,
as theré fs a law in existence forbid-
ding the alteration of buildings
fronting on the Place Vendome.—
