Sent to Hospitals. "The practice of taking away flowers from Corporation Tuncheons and dinners, as well as from City Company dinners, has existed for some time," Sir Percy Vincent re- marked to a reporter.
"It is time it was stopped," he added, "and I am glad the Lord Mayor has made so pointed a re ference to it. After a Corporation luncheon or dinner the flowers from the tables are usually sent to the hoapitola."
Mr. R. F. Felton, the florist who was responsible for the decorations at the luncheon to the King and Queen of Afghanistan, said that he had been naked to procure every anique specimen of the orchid which could be bought for the eccn- alon.
"People do not seem to realise that at a City function the decora tions do not belong to them, but to the Corporation."
"THE CANADIAN."
SOMERSET MAUGHAM'S
STORY FILMED.
Surrounded by an excellent caat, Thomas Meighan arrives at the Star Theatre to-day in a new pr ture "The Canadian," a story taken from the novel by William Somer- set Maugham. Advance reports as to the picture, state that Meighan ennets 21 remarkably strong character in a fitting manner, and that The Canadian" is la best picture to date. Briefly, the story iella of a love affair which nearly went on the rocks, because, for the woman, it was more a marriage of convenience than anything else, And how, when the man had forced her to respect and almost love him, a terrible storm came to wipe all their possessions away. And then, with disaster staring them in the face-well-why not be fair to yourself, and see "The Canadian,”

The introduction of drawn thrend work into straw na n trim- ming is one favourite davice, the designs being much on the lines of the embroiderod' decorations that hays been applied to table linen.
Symbolical motion picture set- tinga, reflecting with rare fidelity the sentiment and tempo of the Faction, shown against the various backgrounds, are achieved in John Barrymore's big production, "The Beloved Rogue," which comes to the World Theatre as the chief attrac- tion from to-day until Saturday. The story concerns the ad- ventures of Francois Villon, the greatest French poct of his time. He was il Jan of grently diversified pursuits, not the least of his accomplishments being skilful thievery. "The Beloved reveals John Barrymore in a characterisation that is in sharp contrast with anything he has pre- viously attempted, and is perhaps, the most charmingly romantic role of his screen career..
