MUTUAL IMPROVEMENT SOCIETY.- The spacious room at Cad van House, the scene of many warm and instructive debates in years gone by, was on Tuesday evening well filled with the members of the society and others desiring to become members, assembled together to be entertained with a mis- cellaneous programme. Unfortunately the accom- panist for the evening (Miss May Roberts, R.A.M.) was unavoidably absent, and the programme was to some extent disarranged. The chair was occupied by the Rev J. D. Evans, who at the outset called upon the Misses Pickering for a pianoforte duet, which was given in fine style; Miss Jones, London House, afterwards delighted the audience with "The Helper." Impromptu speaking was the next item, the speakers being called upon according to their numbers as follo;ls :Air Roberts, Miss Phillips, Mrs Howell Jones, Miss McLaren, Mr T. Roberts, and Mr Walker. Some excellent addresses were delivered, all the speakers making a creditable attempt. Miss Jenkins, Intermediate School, then gave a reading, The Curfew Bell," being followed with a good rendering of Killarnev," by Miss E. Morris, Brynmair terrace; Miss Maggie Owen with fine taste contributed Won't you buy my pretty flowers," and an duet "Y ddeilen ar yr afon," was given by the Misses Owen and Morris. Sharp practice was again decided upon when Mr A. E. Mason, Miss Jenkins, Miss Nellie Jones, Mr W. Edwards, Miss Edwards, and Mr J. E. Thomas contributed towards the programme. The accompanists were Miss Pickering, Miss E. Morris, and Mr J. E. Thomas. BENEFIT CONCERT.—On Friday evening, through the energy of a few philanthropic persons, a benefit concert was held in the Assembly Room in aid of Mr David Davies, who some time ago was well known throughout the district as rate collector, and later as a postman. Infirmity and old age com- pelled him at last to relinquish the latter post, and in order that the respected public official should not be in need of the necessities of life, a committee, consisting of a few gentlemen, got up the concert and it proved a great success, as the crowded house and well sustained programme proved. The chair was occupied by Dr Grosholz, who is always ready to assist movements of this description, and in his remarks he referred to Mr Davies as having been amongst them for a great many years, during the whole of which he was respected as an upright man, and esteemed as being kind-hearted and generous. He thanked all present for their sup- port, and stated that the proceeds of the concert would be administered according to the needs of the old man by a committee, consisting of Captain Preston, Mr W. Rowlands, and Mr J. C. Edwards. Local artistes were in good force, and included Llew Meirion, Dolgelley, who was in grand form. Mr Ernest Richards with The Heavenly Song" contributed the best item on the programme and he was deservedly encored; the duet by Messrs Owen Jones and Hugh Lewis, "Excelsior" was excellent, as was also the one contributed by the Misses Owen and Morris. Captain Preston and Mr Hipkiss with their banjo and guitar accompani- ments were very successful, the former being encored on both occasions. Mr A. H. Jones aod Mr H. A. Kirkby have not bad much experience in platform sinking, but their attempts were credit- able. The following was the programme:—Selec- tion, Towyn Biass Band, who paraded the streets with their new lamps; duet, Y ddeilen ar yr afon," Misses Owen and Moriis song (wi;h guitar accompaniment) Mr Hipkiss; song, Ruddier than the cherry," Mr Owen Jones (encored); song (with banjo accompaniment), Captain Preston (encored) song, Mr A. H. Jones; soig, "The owl," Llew Meirion (encored); selection, Hallelujah cheras," the Baiid song, Out on the deep," Mr H. A. Kirkby song, The sailor's wifo," Miss M. Owen (encored) song (with guit.ar accompaniment), Mr Hipkiss; song, "Fy mam," Miss E. Morris; song1, The Heavenly song," Mr E. Richards (encored) duet, Excelsior," Mr Owen Jones and Mr Lewis song, Rocked in the cradle of the deep." Llew Meirion song (in character), Captain Preston (en- cored).—Mr W. Rowlands proposed a very hearty vote of thanks to Dr Grosholz for the happy manner in which he had presided over the concert. He was always ready to interest himself in every- thing that appertained to the welfare of Towyn, and was prominent in doing his part in good causes of the nature of the one they had that evening. It was through the instrumentality of Dr Grosholz and Captain Preston that they had been able to get up the concert. They had had a good concert, and he begged to thank all the artistes for assisting them.—Mr J. Jones (postmaster) seconded, and the singing of the National Anthem brought the pro- ceedings to a close.

Richards was fittingly celebrated on Thursday, the town presenting an exceedinglv animated appearance. The arrangements were in the hands of a General Committee, the officials being—Chairman, Mr John Vaugban (Nannau); vice-chairman, Mr O. Slauey Wynne (Dolrhyd); ball treasurers, Mr T. P. Jones (N and S.W. Bank), Mr Hugh Pugh (N.P. Bank) hon Lecretary, Mr J. Charles Hughes, solicitor. The committee met at Shire Hall at eleven o'clock, and shortly afterwards representatives of the different friendly societies, fire brigade, and the general public, assembled to- gether and proceeded to the railway station. The Church bells were rung and caunoos were fired. When the train arrived Mr aid Mrs Richards were met and escorted by Mr O. Slaney Wynne to the carriage awaiticg them and the proccss:ou returned to the Town Hall, which in the meantime bad been well filled by a large number of ladies and geutle- men.—Mr John Vaugban, Nannau, occupied the chair, and, in addressing the crowded assembly, said they bad met together that day to do honour to Mr and Mrs Richards o,.i tbe:r first appearance amongst them since their weddiog (applause). He had no need to introduce Mr Richards to them, because he was bom in that neighbourhood, and they had known him from childhood. He bad had the pleasure o" knowing three generations, the grand-father, who was master in chancery, the son, who was their chairman of Quarter Sessions, aud he had also known tbe brjdeg. oom, whom, together with his bride, they all welcomed (applause). He had not known the bride very long, but be bad bad the pleasure of having ber as a guest for a few days last year, and from what he saw of her he had not the slightest doubt she would prove a great acquisi. (ion to the neighbourhood (applause). The Chair- man then called upon Mr O. Slanev Wynne to read a beautifully illuminated address of congratulation from theinhabitantsof Dolgelley and neighbourhood. —Mr Wynne remarked that he should like to add a few words to those uttered by the chairman. It was a very happy occasion to see Mr licbards coming home to inhabit tne old home of his ancestors. He (Mr Wynne) could say like the chairman that he had known three generations-the grandfather, the father, and Mr Richards himself. He could remember perfectly well spending some very happy days at Caerynwch in Mr Ricbards's grandfather's time, and he had happy recollections of his father, and he could almost picture him now. He was always a good neighbour and also a very kind friend to bim. He wished Mr and Mrs Richards every possible happiness that this life could afford, and that they would live long to inhabit Caerynwch and that their sunshine would be reflected upon their neighbours and friendsaround them (applause). --The Rev John Lloyd (rector) said he bad been asked by the committee to offer to Mr and Mrs Richards their best congratulations and their most cordial welcome home to Caerynwch. Reference was made in the address, and rightly so, to tbe great services rendered to the town of Dolgellev and the county of Merioneth by Mr Richards's father, his grandfather, and his great-grandfather, and they that day looked forward to the time-and they did so with very good and solid reasons-to the time when Mr Richards in his turn would dis- charge those trying duties to the town and county of Merioneth, and that as well, and with as much credit and honour, as any of his illustrious ancestors (applause).—Mr J. Meyrick Jones, on behalf of the town and Urban District Council, gave his best welcome to Mr and Mrs Richards.—Major Scott then presented Mr Richards, who is an honorary captain of the fire brigade, with a large photo- graphic portrait of the members of the brigade. In a few words Major Scott wished Mr and Mrs Richards long life and every happiness.— Mr R. E. LI. Richards, who was loudly applauded, said be and his wife were very much flattered at seeing so large an audience present that day. His wife and himself were very much obliged to them for the warm welcome given them on their return to his native town (applause). He fully realised that he was addressing that day a meeting re- presentative of both the public and social life of the town of Dolgelley and neighbourhood. He hoped that the neighbourhood would benefit by his marriage, and that his wife would in diverse ways be of service to the public (applause). There were many public duties that they were called upon to perform which ladies, unquestionably, could do much better than men, and they were of great assistance to all. For instance, any movement to alleviate the suffering and the sick poor was one which was much better understood by the ladies, and appealed much more to their sympathies. He was sure his wife would take the greatest interest in any movement of that sort. He must thank them most heartily for the beautiful illuminated address which had been presented to him and his wife. In conclusion, he thanked the members of the fire brigade for that splendid photographic group. He had seen the brigade going through their drill, and he was quite satisfied that they were a most efficient body of men (applause).-—Mr Richards then proposed a vote of thanks to their worthy chairman, whom he was glad to see enjoying such good health, to which Mr Vaughan returned thanks.—The procession was afterwards re-formed and proceeded to the Arran Old Turnpike, and was there met by the Caerynwch tenantry, who, on reaching Caerynwch, presented an address to Mr Richards, who suitably responded.—During the day thirty tons of coal were distributed by the com- mittee to the poor of the town under the control of Messrs David Owen, Tom Parry, Llew. Meirion, W. D. Pugh, and J. Charles Hughe3.
♦ WHY- WOMEN ARE ATTRACTIVE.
♦ WHY- WOMEN ARE ATTRACTIVE. Why is one woman attractive and another not ? It isn't entirely a question of :age, or features, or intellect. The most admirable and attractive thing about an attractive woman is her womanli- ness. Everybody admires a womanly woman. She must have health, of course, because without it she would lose the brightness of her eyes, the fulness of her cheeks, and her vivacity. Health brings all these things, but health means more than most people think of. If pale, nervous, and weak, a woman lacks good health, Women who axe pale and wan should not resort to iron, drugs, and tonics, except by the advice of a properly qualified medical man. They should try instead to nourish and build up their blood by the vital nourishment imparted by Dr Tibbies' Vi-CoCoa. And so rosy cheeks and comeliness may be at- tained. Surely the road is pleasanter than the thorny and nasty pafh paved with drugs. Nurse Tillotson, Alexander Hotel, St. Leonard's- on Sea, writes: "I have tried Dr. Tibbies' Vi. Cocoa, and like it very much. I shall have much pleasure in recommending it to my patients." Miss S. Percival, Post Office, Burgh, writes :—" I do not think any other can equal yours. My father has been taking ordinary cocoa, but I think Dr. Iibbles Vi-Cocoa is better. I will tell my friends of your Vi-Cocoa." Mrs. King, Linden Cottage, *7imbleden Hill, Surrey, writes I think Dr. Tibbies' Vi-Cocoa is delicious, and quite fulfils all said about it." Mrs Budden, Rardwardine, Bournemouth, writes I am pleased with Dr. Tibbies' Vi-Cocoa, and like it, and will certainly use it in future." Merit, and merit, alone, is what we claim for Dr. Tibbies' Vi-Cocoa, and we are prepared to send to any reader who names the TOWYN- ON-SEA AND MERIONETH OOUNTY TIMES a dainty sample tin of Dr. Tibbles' Vi-cocoa free and post-paid. There is no magic in all this. It is a plain, honest, straight- forward offer. It is done to introduce the merits of Vi-Gocoa into every home. Dr. Tibbies' Vi- Cocoa as a concentrated form of nourishment and vitality is invaluable; nay, more than this, for to all who wish to face the strife and battle of life with greater endurance and more sustained exer- tion it is absolutely indispensable. Dr. Tibbies' Vi-Cocoa is made up in 6d. packets, and 9d. and Is. 6d. tins. It can be obtained from all Chemists, Grocers and Stores, or from Dr. Tibbies' Vi-Cocoa, Limited, 60,61, and 62, Bunhill Row, London, E.C. Write for free samples.

right? Why not meet the Cormcil and discuss matters with them,r whether the Rector, with what has been termed his grand scheme," is present or not ? It is almost impossible for the Rev. Edward Hughes not to consider himself an oracle when the Council themselves and all the members of the deputation are waiting to hear from him. It is plain the salvation of the town must come through the Council, and the Council alone, and we expect soon to hear, and possibly to publish, the scheme adopted by the Council.
