, appearance is fully up to the mark . There are two slight changes in the arrangement of the present issue , the table of the days of meeting of Lodges in the Province is placed at the beginning instead of at the end , and the page containing the Leicester Freemasons ' Hall and Library Committee now follows those containing the
Committees of Provincial Grand Lodge . By this means the compiler is able to devote more space to detailing the increasing list of votes for the Central Masonio Charities . A capital portrait is given of Bro . George Toller , Past Deputy Provincial Grand Master for Leicestershire and Rutland , with a short sketch of his Masonio
career . The photograph is by F . W . Broadhead , of Leicester , and is a capital likeness ; Amongst items of information given in the Calendar we notice a list of meetings of Grand Lodge and Grand Chapter , the dates of meeting of the several Masonic bodies in the
Province , to which are added lists of Officers for the year , lists of members of the various Lodges and Chapters in the Province , and roll of Lodges in the adjoining Provinces of Derbyshire , Nottinghamshire , and Norths and Hunts . Altogether the Calendar—which is of a convenient size for the pocket—refleots great credit on Bro . Smith .

This gentleman has brought together a string of exoiting events that cannot fail to interest tbe reader . The story deals with a woman who commits a murder , while temporarily insane , through the loss of her child . Ifc is written in a style that cannot fail to invoke sympathy with the woman .
Wood Green Assembly Rooms . —An interesting concert was recently given by the students of Miss Bremner ' s Wood Green School of Music ( Troro Road ) . The care with which the various items of the programme were delivered reflected credit both on the performers and on their tutor , and Miss Br mner is to be heartily

Frederick Bays gave two recitations , and was also honoured with an encore . Miss Bremner efficiently conducted throughout the evening .
