But dressing tables aren‘t as chiâ€"chi as in the days when life wasn‘t so busy and so grim. Instead of just a shelf and a pretty petticoat, a woman nowaâ€" days ‘asks for plenty of drawer and shelf space too so that her, dressing table provides storage as viell las primping space. But this is often aâ€" chieved by ingenious use of furniture available. Two small unpainted chests of drawers with a plank across the top to join them, leaving knee space beâ€" tween, is a practical idea for the unâ€" derpart of a draped dressing taDle. Oft times not even the skirt of a dresâ€" sing table will serve double duty, â€" with pockets for notions or with pin cushions for ornament. For an unâ€" draped dressing table, select a. table with drawers that can serve later as a desk if you change your mind, â€" such models are found in 18th century maâ€" hogany, in colonial maple or in modâ€" ern design. Or a pair of nice. wood chests of small size, joined across the top by a slab of plate glass to make a dressing table, can later serve separâ€" ately as bedside tables in a different lineâ€"up. Nobody need worry much about uniâ€" forms for women, â€" not so long as the Wacs in North Africa make boomâ€"time business. for the French hairdressers there and so long as the Waves and Spars here at kome keep beauty parâ€" lors open overtime. For that matterâ€" ‘twas said in World War 1 that short hair for women boded the end of the dressing table, symbol of feéemininity. But the prognosticators forgot that shortâ€"hair fashions and uniforms have come and gone before but dressmg taâ€" bles of "one kind or other have been with us always as necessary non;essentials. _ Che EXxtra Tift In times like these when a woman faces more than usually heavy demands in the world outside, such simple morâ€" aleâ€"builder as a dresisng table can often give lfi’f‘pe extra lift it takes to carry on. THURSDAY. AVUGUST 8TH. 1943 DRESSING TABLES AND POWDER ROOMS NECESSARY NONâ€"ESSENTIALS This pretty little Victorian dressing room adjoins Lily Pons‘ bedroom in her country house in Connecticat. The same ffowered chintz is used for sofa, draperies and lamp shades in this attractive room. The walls are white, the rug green, and the chintz is in green on white., French furniture of the 18th is Gladys Swarthout‘s choice in her bedroom. The dressing table is painted in delicate colotrs and above it hangs But They‘re More Practical These Days with Good Drawer and Shelf Spaceâ€"Mirrors are Bigger, Lamps Taller PLEASANT ‘HoMEs For the Daily Scrape English gentlemen, too, had their "powder rooms‘"‘ which acquired their own kinds of furniture as the years went by. The shaving stand, so efâ€" fective as a standâ€"up dressing table in many a modern bedroom, waSs made to make the Lord and Master‘s daily scrape a more comfortable procedure, but the ladies liked the idea so well that they adopted the adjustable mirâ€" a dlog pointed mask which made him look like a particularly avaricious rabâ€" bit. Only the powderâ€" room used to be more a male retreat, than a primping place for the ladies, in the great days of the French kings. The gentlemen, nowever, were not too interested in the shine of their noses, â€" they were more concerned with the snowâ€"drift whiteness of their beâ€"curled wigs. Natâ€" urally constant care was necessary to maintain such a state of perfection. The wigs were placed on finely carved stands when not in use and valets worked diligently upon them in a high froth of white waves. (But when the wigs were on the aristocratic heads of their owners, reâ€"powdering was often necessary and such a procedure was dusty and not too easy on surrounding furniture So the powder room WAS part of a gentleman‘s life, â€" a small room where he retired to have his wig redusted. To protect his face he wore over the table is ideal, but if you don‘t have that, the next best thing is a pair of tall lamps, â€" the height is very important for low dinky dressing table lamps just get in their own way. And in order to accommodate big lamps you need a really goodâ€"sized table top. Twirlâ€"Seat Don‘t forget a good place to sit, â€" a liftâ€"lid chest, a bench or an old twirlâ€"seat piano stool are good ideas here, or else a pretty chair with a graceful low back. As for that useful little spot we now call the powder room, feeling very moâ€" dern over this rather euphemious term for a downstairs lavatory, â€" well, we aren‘t really pioneering in the science of phraseology after all. For powder rooms go back quite a ways in history and many and wonderful have been their variations and uses. by Elizabeth MacRea Boykin a mirror framed in intricately wrought glass celorings in the reom are soft pastels. ra.b-!

The funeral on July 29th, was very largely atiended. Rev. M. R. Hall conducted the services at the house and at the grave. The pallâ€" bearers were Harry, Murray and Fred Dimock, cousins of the deceased, and Irwin Mason. On July 30th, 1923, an unusual acâ€" cident occurred in Timmins in the lane at the rear of the Hollinger Stores. There was a fence along the lane covâ€" jered with corrugated iron. Through | the grounding of a light or power wire | this fence became highly charged with electricity. John Watt was driving his horse through the lane during a thunâ€" derstorm, when the animal came in contact with the ‘charged fence and was \ immediately killed by electrocution. | The loss of the horse was generally reâ€" | gretted as it had been a pet, noted | for its tricks and cleverness. It folâ€" lowed members of the Watt family aâ€" round after the manner of a dog and [ on occasion even made playful effort to enter the house. Twenty years ago there were efforts made to interest capital in sections of | the North Land that were undoubtedly promising so far as the chances for Gold finds were concerned. At that | time The Advance held, that the surâ€" face of the Porcupine had scarcely been scratched and that the prospectors and mining men who placed their money in: Porcupine district would not regret it. One article on a Porcupine townâ€" ship then in the limelight, read in part, as follows:â€" "Great interest has been created in the last day or two by the in samples ard reports coming out from McNeil township. Some days ago there was a spectacular find made in the township and since then other finds of interest have been reported.

The bouffant frouâ€"frou we like so well in our modern powder rooms goes back to the French courts too. Fine silks and brocades billowed forth aâ€" round the knees of the court ladies as they sat themselves down for a threeâ€" hour daily session at their dressing tables. The oils and creams and paint and patches they used would embarâ€" rass even this cosemticâ€"conscious counâ€" try.

Twenty years ago Kirkland Lake had the occasional wild and woolly event, though in the main it was a quiet, orâ€" derly, lawâ€"abiding place, even as Timâ€" _ mins. In August 1923, however, it was necessary for The Advance to make the following report about Kirkland Lake:* "At an early hour of one mornâ€" ing last month, a masked man held up the members of a card party at Kirkâ€" land Lake and relieved those in attendâ€" ance ‘of over six hundred dollars, it is said. The robber wore a mask, had his face blackened and was generally in the fancy costume of a masquerade neâ€" gro. His costume did not attract any special attention as there had been a. masquerade party in the town that! night. "If the costume did not bring the, robber into special attention, the armament he carried certainly brought special notice. He entered the Beaver Club with a revolver in each hand and another at his belt. A card party was in progress and he made all present obey the order of "hands up." Then he forced one member present to gather up the money and hand it over to him.
