MRS. McCRACKEN (nee Miss Watson), buyer of the ladies' furs, is leaving after nearly seven years' service. She had a recent offer of a better position, and accepted it--_she is going to devote her energies to looking after her husband and her home_. The best wishes of the whole staff go with her. Mrs. McCracken is to be succeeded by Mrs. Thorburn from the Winnipeg store, who is assured of a hearty welcome to Calgary. January Dance Lively Affair WITH plenty of "JAZZ" music and real girls who knew all about dancing and its inventor, the Calgary store staff held their monthly dance on January 19th, at Hickman Hall. With all the store boosters helping it along, it could not help but be a success and those who were present will tell you it was the best dance of the season. Our Calgary Editor, Frank Reeve, was the only one of the store managers present. He promises to bring more of the buyers and other store managers with him if he has to burn up his own gasoline to get them there. Our ever-smiling dining room manageress was in no small manner responsible for the success of the dance. Calgary Boys Are Enthusiastic Curlers By LOU DOLE THE Calgary stores' curling club, like everything under the direction of the athletic body of the big store, is an unbounded success. No game that one could mention is without its followers in our store and not only are they followers of the rock and broom game, the boys who have taken it up are good at it, at least they will say so and are willing to back up their assertions at any time. Jack Smith is moving around the store with a lot of extra pep. He is skipping the only undefeated rink at present. Jack took the first game from our G.M. and the second round was also a win for him after a hard battle with Bill Cunningham. The following skips have broken even so far: J. M. Gibson, Bill Cunningham, Joe Marsh and Hutchinson. A BOTTLE, _Two Calgary Girls--A Policeman--and the Boarding House Missus_ By G. Brennand SOME mixup--not the bottle and the girls, but the girls and the boardin' house missus. Miss "Joe" Hickey, who hails from Owen Sound, and Miss Irma Oliver, from the Gateway City, Winnipeg, came together in Mrs. Boyd's invoice office. They decided to room together forever. If there is such a thing as two girls marrying--they married--and so one Wednesday afternoon they set out to seek lodging quarters. The first place they called, the woman looked them over and said, "Awa' wi' you! I'll have no young and beautiful girls amucking up my parlor with their boy friends." At the next place they were in luck. So the story goes, the boarding missus referred to above, welcomed them, welcomed them with the odor of Scotch and cloves.
