Last Saturday Mr. O‘Neil and his sweetheart were trying to decide where to go for their honeymcon. A trip down the St. Lawrence was their amâ€" bition and plans were laid accordingly. But, being conscientious budgeteers they decided that Quebec would be as far as they should go. The loveâ€"nestâ€"egg was nct to be touched and the first payment was already made on a charming little home in Guelph. "We were absolutely dazed when, that very day, we received word from our jeweller, A. W. Smith, that Lyle had won the thousand dollar honeymoon. Now we can go much farâ€" ther than Quebec!" laughed Mrs. O‘Neil. Guelph, Ont., June 23 â€"A Bluebird flew into the window of Mr. Lyle O‘Neil, Guelph, last week and left a thousand dollars worth of happiness.

Both at home and abroad there have been experiments with prohibition. They have all been unsuccessful. They have all proved that this ‘ohibition or unreasonable restriction of alcoholic beverages does NoT promote temperance, but does the opposite! What happens . . . when the legal door closes, the bootlegger‘s door opens. Normally lawâ€"abiding people constantly and unblushingly break the law! "_Don‘t let this happen again‘ People want social relaxation. Experience has shown that they will get it whether the law permits or not. The right method, then, of combating excess must be to continue to make it lawful for people to obtain a mild, healthy beverage which will help them relax, enable them to enjoy one another‘s company, without inviting abuse. This is the British tradition. Because selfâ€"control rather than law control is the British tradition! Where this relaxation is easy to get there is seldom any abuse. If the prohibitionists desire to abolish the evils of excessive drinking, they should realize that the destruction of the present carefully controlled facilities is the certain way to drive men to abuse! Then let us look at the question fairly and squarely: Cowboy Couldn‘t Find Horse Stable in the West But what has happened to the wild and woolly west when even High River â€"second, only to Calgary as a cowtown in years pastâ€"cannot boast a single ivery stable? The wild west has certainly tamed down a lot when a "puncher can‘t even find a night‘s lodging for his horse." The gasoline filling station has eviâ€" dently usurped the place of the last fragrant livery stable, and the west of the pionsers is fast becoming a thing Tragedy was averted by accommodatâ€" ing the weary horse for the night in a small private barn behind a local resiâ€" dence.

There were a number of entries from Timmins and district, the contest being well advertised in The Advance by C. A. Remus, local jeweller who is the lozal representative for Pluebird diamonds. (Calgary Albertan) A cowpuncher came drifting into High River last week. His sturdy roan horse showed signs of long travel, for the horseman had just completed an arducus trip into the town from a ranch away out in the foothills 30 miles wost. Naturally, the rider‘s first move was to inquire of a stranger the location of the nearest ~livery stable. "Livery stable?" mused the town resident, and subsequent investigation revealed that there was not a single livery stable left in High River. It‘s all very romantic to think of a bride‘s house in terms of satin upholâ€" stery and offâ€"white broadloom. But the catch is that most brides are up against the realities of ‘budgets, upkeep and durability, and neither satin upholstery nor pale broadloom fit that picture. Besides, part of the iun of get{ing married is the adventure of making a Ideas for Apportioning the Sums to be Spent on Various Purchasesâ€" A Plan for the Combination Livingâ€"Dining Room, Too.

Last week we discussed the budgeting of a bedroom. Toâ€"day we will go into the subject of budgeting living room and dining room. We‘re considering them together because so many young couples combine the two in one room. And those who do have a separate dinâ€" ing rcom generally plan it in coordinaâ€" tion with the living rcom, since small hceuse plans so often lay out the two rooms so that they adjoin through wide cpenings which make them seem like one room from a decorative point of view. Anyway, in either event, it‘s simpler in planning the design of these two rooms to consider them together. a combination livingâ€"dining room, here is a budget that will serve as a startâ€" ing point: Filoor covering 20 per cent. Curtains and â€"draperies 4 per cent. Furniture 50 per cent. Silver 10 per cent. China and glass 4 per cent. Linen 4 per cent. Wall hangings 4 per cent. Lamps 4 per cent. which applied to the expenditure of the young couple with $500â€"to furnish their new home complete meant $135 for the living rcom and $190 for the dining room, or a total of $325 for the two rooms. By considering the two rooms as cne, they were able to get much more enduring qualities in rug and accessorâ€" ies. This is the way they spent their $325 on their combination livingâ€"dining room: Floor covering $ 65.00 Curtains and draperies 4j 11.00 Furniture . 167.00 (including secretary that could be used for linen, silver and china as well as for a desk; a dropâ€"leaf table and chairs suitable for side chairs between meals, or a trestle table and benches might also fit here.
