I didn't say anything but I boiled inside, 'and there- - after I was afraid to lét him' go outdoors for fear "hes would touch something of hers. My nerves got so-upset I had to call the doctor, : "I know that children should not be allowed to mistreat oth- er people's property, Is there any way I can put a stop to her screaming at my children, or spanking them?

Is it proper to repeat a person's name when you are. acknowledging an introduction. A. It is not only proper, but practical, too--because too many people fail "{o- remember the names of persons to whom they are introduced. Repeating the name, as, "How do you do, Mrs. Johnson," helps to print the name in your niemory. Q. When a bride notes of thanks to friends who do not know her husband, ahould the notes be signed with both ~ names? 7 A. The signature should be her name only, but the rote . should say, *"John and I-decply. appreciate, cte." ~ Q. Is it proper to apply lip- stick while at a restaurant ta- ble? = A. Yes, if you can do so quick- ly and inconspicuously. Q. When a girl has been -in- vited to several different bridal showers for the same bride-elect, is it necessary that she bring a gift for each one? A. It she attends each shower, (it is required that she bring a gift to each one. However, it is not necessary that she attend all four or five showers on one girl it she feels she can't afford the expense of four or five gifts. Q. Where do I put my olives "and radishes served at a formal dinner, when there is no bread- and-butter plate? } A. Place them on the edge of the plate from which you are eating. Salt for the radishes goes there, too. -Q. I've._just 'been told (hat "You're welcome" is out-of-date as an acknowledgement - to "thank you." Is this correct? A. Most certainly not. : Q. How ments are served should a guest remain' at a bridge party? A. This depends upon how carly in the 'evening refresh- ments are served, but probably about 30 minutes after finishing is the usual time to leave. A guest at any affair should never "eat and run." ; Q. Isn't it poor form for a woman, at her second marriage, to havé three or four brides- maids? A. Yes. The second marriage should be as' simple and infor- mal as possible, and the bride should have but one attendant. Q. Is it proper for the mother ° of a newborn baby to mail a printed card of thanks for a gift "sent? ' ""A. No; the mother's thanks should be expressed in a sin- cere, personally-written note, Q. If ,one has not understood the name of a person to whom one has been introduced, what should be said? A. It is in order to say, "I'm sorry; I did not quite understand the name." - FEWER EUROPEAN MOTOR VEHICLES Canadian sales of new Euro- pean-made motor vehicles reach- od a peak of 62,880 passenger "cars and 4,626 commercial vehi- cles In 1930, but since then have steadily declined.

There is, mercifully, one ob- vious advantage in being hard of hearing -- you can't hear the blaring of your neighbour's radio through the wall, or many of the other hideous sounds that fill a modern city. ; Sir Richard Paget, a barrister and scientist who has studied speech, says that in their own way the deaf are far more ar. ticulate than those who can speak. He is devising a special language . for deat people in which every sign represents a different word. : The arm, he claims, is 20,000 times more versatile than the tongue.

In Britain To visit England and Scotland after thirty-six years in Canada is a thrill that: can hardly be . described. However, I will try to. give you a few of the high- lights of our trip week by week. We are a group of seventy-two Poss women from right across anada, strictly "a hen party"] By. various. means of travel- ling we assembled in Montreal on Tuesday, June 14. At 5.30 p.m. we went by bus to Dorval airport. After some delay we boarded, a chartered plane -- a B.O.A.(% Strato - Cruiser, the "Speed-Bird". 'There wasn't a vacant seat on the plane, even the lounge was occupied. It was my first flight so naturally I watched with excitement every move we made. As the giant bird tdgk to the air the farms and houds below looked like miniature 'models. : Shortly after taking off a five- course dinner was served, and the food was excellent. The head steward and the stewardess "were models of efficiency. It was not until after we had left the plane that I learnt they had flown with Princess Margaret and the chief steward: had been in the Queen's Round - the - World tour, and the Captain had on several occasions flown British Prime Ministers. N Most of the way we flew at 19,000 feet, stopping at Gander Airport for about an hour. We landed at Prestwick, Scotland, about 9 am, Wednesday. We were piped from the plane to the Customs Office. In the Hotel dining-room at the Airport Wwe were given a welcoming (and welcome) lunch by the Scottish Tourist Association. We were then transported by motor coach to Edinburgh. We couldn't have had a better day for land- ing or sight-seeing. The Scottish hills, so often shrouded in mist, were as clear as day. It was a beautiful drive and we were all impressed with appearance of the small towns and villages through which we passed. I can't remember see- ing a tumble-down barn or a poorly kept house on any of the farms that we passed. The road, although not one of the busiest highways, was in excellent con- dition. And the gardens . . . lupins of every shade and hue, and with giant spikes, in almost every garden, The hydrangea was lovely too, in shades of pink and mauve. The banks and hills were bright with yellow gorse-- and to my delight I saw in sev- eral gardens a laburnum tree in full bloom. i Agriving at | Edinburgh we checked in at the hotels allotted to us. I was at the Caledonia. That night we were "invited to a |' . reception given by the Edin- AY burgh Press Club--men's club-- apparently a woman's club has not yet been organized. The Lord Provost of Edinburgh and his wife were also theré to greet us. ' ; The next morning<.we. were, driven by motor-coach to the Monrospun Knitting Mills, taken "all over the blg plant and saw how the beautiful scarves, swea- ters and socks are made that can be bought in many of our Canadian stores. We each came: away with a woven plaid scarf as a memento. the well-kept" . 1 From there we were taken to the City Chambers, high on the hill overlooking the city, close 'by th#& old Castle, where we were given a Civic Lunch, wel- comed by the Lord Provost and his wife, the Lady Provost, and some of the chief magistrates. The after-lunch speeches weére . short, witty, "and few in num- ber. Our only toast was to the Queen. The meal was. excellent. In the afternoon we were free. to visit the shops or do a, little - sight-seing. Most of us were." too tired to go very far. That same. evening we were enter- tained by the Victoria League --_ an association to promote good fellowship among nations. The entertainment took the form of Old Time Scottish Reels and » folk dances by a group of young - girls from the Edinburgh Uni- versity. Gentlemen jn kilts also took part in the dances -- some-~ times with the girls, sometimes without. After the dancers had - gone through their scheduled programme, impromptu dances but still in the old style, were 'the order of the night, in which many - of our. Canadian girls joined and acquitted themselves well.'The young folk had plenty "of fun, including a young man - in kilts, sixty-five or over, who danced with such ease and grace that one followed the swift movement of his nimble feet without realising he was grey- headed and partly bald! In fact it came as somewhat of a shock to look from his feet to his head. Such was our two days in Scotland -- two days that have gone by with incredible swift- ness -- much to our dismay. To- morrow at noon we entrain for London, carrying with us happy memories of the Scottish hospi- - tality accorded us in this ancient and 'beautiful city of Edinburgh. Canadians have every réason té be proud it their ancestors came from this land of the heather. As a sample of this same hospl- tality I dropped into a place where they sell office equipment and asked to hire a typewriter for an hour and to use it on the premises. A new typewriter -- of a make strange to me -- was placed at my disposal free of charge and also a quiet room in which to work. . : Next week I hope to write to you from somewhere in England.. One of the pleasant things about llving in the country is - , that there aren't any holidays. " One day.is like the next and if you want a day off you can take it when you like. It doesn't. have to be on the same day ninety million other 'people are having a holiday. Louis Bromfield. Helicopter Wings Igor Sikorsky did not think - up tha helicopter, nor build the first one. , .. The ancient Chinese, whe were first with a lot of things, were first with a helicopter de- vige that flew successfully. Now called the Chinese top, it was a toy propeller with a shaft that could be spun between the. palms of the hands, A much later French toy used feathers . for rotor blades, corks for hubs, and a small bent bow and string to. turn 'the rotor shaft at high speed. | si Leonardo da Vinci, the Italian painter, architect, poet, matha- matician, scientist, and all- around genius, drew sketches of a helicopter about the time a fellow country man of his named Columbus was. discover- ing America. Da Vinci may even have constructed and flown small "models, But there was at that time no source of power suitable for a man-carry- ing helicopter, even if da Vin- - ci's design had been perfect, which it wasn't. : Early in the last century an Englishman, Sir George Cavley, the "father of British aeronau- tics" stirred up a whole rash of -- _ helicopter experiments when he | built a steam-driven model all aflutter with four eight-bladed - rotors, plus two more for for- ward motion. The body was shaped like a gull's and the nose was carved like a bird's head, but the arrangement of the ro- tors was similar to that on the German Focke-Wulf which much later flew very success- fully. . .-. i The first helicopter to leave the ground with a pilot abroad did so a little less than four: years after the Wright -broth- ers' first airplane flight, "This craft was built by a Frenchman, Louis Bréguet, who shortly af- ter became one of the world" leading airplane designers an pllots. -- From - "Helicopters How They Work," "by Johm Lewellen, -------- MERRY MENAGERIE JA y (77 "Clilms a dragon did jt -- a snapdragon}" 1 tablespoon sugar 2 teaspoons dry mustard 2 teaspoons salt Ya teaspoon pepper 1% cups milk 1 egg, beaten Ya cup vinegar - Ys cup MAZOLA Salad Oif sugar and seasonings amount of milk to make COOK over low heat, sti thickens and boils, COOK 2 minutes, REMOVE from ke rotary beater, ADD MAZOLA Salad YIELD; 2 cups, NOTE: Beat slowly with rota and creamy bafore serving, Ya teaspoon paprika (optional) COMBINE BENSON'S or CANADA in saucepan with o small a smooth paste, ADD remaining milk, mixing well, ring constantly, until mixture stirring constantly, at; gradually add to be Oil beating until smooth; cool, ry beater until smoogh BOILED SALAD DRESSING 3 tablespoons BENSON'S or CANADA Corn Starch of - Corn Starch, aten egg, Id r For free folder of other dalicious fecipes, writs to Jane Ashley, Home Service Department, : THE CANADA STARCH COMPANY LIMITED, P.O.
