' COURT DRESS FOR APPEARANCE When a thirty-four-year-old woman, May Vestal, of Dallas, received a summons to attend court on a charge of stealing a dress, she found that she had no dress to her liking to wear. So she went out and shoplifted -a new dress specially for the trial. In court she was given four years on the original charge--and another four ytars for stealing the second dress, but the judge allowed the second sentence to run concurrently, "because wo- men do like to look their best on these occasions." rigs MARILYN'S BACK -- Flashing her usual pose, actress Marilyn Monroe and her husband, playwright Arthur Miller, disembark from their plane in New York, They were returning from Ingland where Marilyn made a movie with Sir Laurence Olivier. Girls Foil Fat By Fencing If you encounter an attractive girl with a neat figure, slim ankles and an may be one of the thousands who have taken up fencing. Wemen from thirteen countr- © ies recently competed in the world fencing championships in London. You had only to look at them to realize that fencing makes for graceful physique. Lovely Fraulein Waltraut,Eb- ert, five times junior champion of "Austria, is only twenty-one and fencing has given her a per- fect figure. "The constant use of fencing foils entails such continuous rhythmical movement and such delicate use of almost every muscle in the body that perfect physical development frequent- ly results from fencing practice," a fencing master says. "Constant footwork makes for slim ankles, and supple wrists result from the light and dex- terous turning of the foil. Left- handed fencing is often practised so that both wrists may benefit equally." * Experts say that the age of fencing is only just beginning. It's a comparatively cheap sport, too, and lots of women are tak- ing it up merely as a slimming exercise "Fencing has also a good men- tal effect on those who practise it. It sharpens the intelligence, and instils patience, courtesy, quickness and balance of mind," says an expert who trains work- ing men and women at his fenc- ing academy in the North of England. . "Motorists and tennis players find that fencing brings out speed in eye and hand and quick reaction to circumstances," he . adds, 'HAT _OF HOPE -- This smiling French girl models her hat con- trived for St. Catherine's Day, when it is traditional for un- married girls who have reach- ed the age of 25 to wear an eye-catching bonnet to festivities of the day. This one is a miniature newspaper stand, de- signed by Parisian Maud. milliner Barrel-Organ Blues You don't often hear the sound of a barrel-organ in the streets cof London to-day, but it's said that at least one firm still hires out a few organs regularly. The price paid by street mu- sicians for the hire of a barrel- organ used to be 3s, a day. But like everything else it's gone up. And barrel-organists lamént that they now have to pay from 4s. to Ts., according to the quality of the organ and the variety of tunes it is capable of playing: Before the first world war two men with a barrel-organ would often start out at 6 a.m. and play non-stop till midnight in all weathers, making up to £5 a _ week between them--good money in those days. But pulling an or- gan weighing about 225 1b, a dis- tanec of twenty to twenty-five miles a day was a strenuous busi- Ness. ' To-days surviving barrel- organists tend to concentrate on cinema queues, although one. stat- ed that he does very well play- ing in some of the more exclu- sive London squares. Years ago a young peer, who had been disinherited by his fam. ily, hired a barrel-organ and toured the London streets with 'a large placard announcing his title and the nature of the quar- rel which had led to his being cut off with a shilling. He collected $75 in a fort- nights's playing. In those days society women often hired Dbarrel-organs for charity bazaars and medical stu- dents used them to raise money for hospitals, r alert eye, she - FRANTIC FRENCH -- A Parisian girl is whisked through the air by her partner during a rock 'n' roll session at, of all places, the Mozart studios in Paris. Continental version of the fad is reported to be milder than its American counterpart. Though it doesn't look it, the JAG Ss vl ms Two months ago we had never ~even heard of "Elliott Lake" in the Blind River district. Now we are continually bumping into people who have been, .or are presently going, to Elliott Lake. And this morning along came one of our farm papers with an article on that same district. Per- haps this is not surprising when we consider that house founda- - tions are being poured at the rate of twenty-five each week for employees of the uranium mines, many of whom until now have been living in trailers. Community centres are being planned and are referred to as Neighbourhood 1, 2 and 3. Each 'will have its own school, shop- ping centre, recreational park and presumably its churches. Neighbourhood 1 is now near- ing completion. In six years time Elliot Lake is expected to have a population of 20,000. All this is fresh in my mind as our nephew-in-law. flew in Sudbury last Wednesday night and stay- ed here with Babs and the chil- dren until Sunday He brought good news with him . their six-room, two-storey house will be ready for occupancy by December 1. This speeded up their plans down here consider- ably. So, to help them finish their round of visits before go- ing north, Bob and Joy came up on Sunday, loaded the car with Babs, the children, cot, clothes, toys and what have you, and took them down to Oakville for a week's visit before they move on to the grandparent's home near London. Enroute they took Daddy to the airport at Malton. After they had all gone a strange quietness settled over Ginger Farni. It reminded me of the time we crossed the Atlan- tic by boat many years ago. The liner carried three "propellers and in my cabin I got the full benefit of the noise and vibra- tion. It was terrific and I won- ered how I was ever going to stand it. And then one night, towards the end of the journey, we were fog-bound. The boat dropped anchor; the roar of the propellers ceased and the un- canny quietness on board was more disturbing than the pre- vious roar. The only sound to break the eerie stillness was the booming of the fog-horn. And so it is with the children gone--the stillness seems unreal, No more little pattering feet; no mgre.crying, or laughing, or answering questions that never ceased. No more putting things out of reach or of rescuing Mit- chie - White from tail-pulling Nancy. No more interruptions as we try to keep abreast of world-shaking news by radio, television and newspaper. Per- haps, too, all things. considered the visit came to an end at a good time. Wintér was sudden- 1y upon us; Partner had devel oped a bad attack of arthritis, his left hand and arm being practically useless, partly as the result of wrestling with cord wood up in the bush. And I ONICLES JGiNgERFARM endoline D.Clathke afternoon. CLLEOTZ, rl &had managed to pick up some more cold. So a little extra rest for both of us was very wel- come. And believe me, we. took it. Just the same we miss those children. Was there ever such a sudden change in the weather? After weeks of mild, muggy days and nights, the temperature here, 'during that first 'cold night, dropped to seventeen. Methinks I must have been given a pre- monition or something as the day before the weather changed we had the car winterized and the snowtires put on. That same cold morning a car was stalled right in our laneway. A good Samaritan, in the form of our baker, pushed the stalled car up the lane, out again and quite a piece along the road before it actually got going under its own power. Previous to that we no- ticed a man and a boy walking up the lane, probably coming for help, but they evidently heard Rusty barking and chang- "ed their minds. Anyway they were running down the lane again, back to the car. Rusty was tied up but they couldn't know it. Raa Speaking of Rusty... about an hour after our visitors de- parted, Rusty sat at the top of the lane, lifted his head and howled. He is the best dog with children we ever had.. Nancy would sit on him, roll over him, pull his ears and Rusty would take it all in good part. I don't think Robbie would have been nearly so tolerant. Robbie was like a child himself and wanted his share of attention. In his new home he certainly gets ft. In fact he is living a dog's ver- slon of the life of Riley. Well, no one would know from what I have written thus far whether we are aware of what is taking place in world affairs. We are certainly aware all right but at the moment I soul dats t it "make an intelligent commen I tried.

What are the occasions when sending flowers is really obligatory? A; To the funeral of a friend, or a member of a good friend's family. To an intimate friend who is--or has been--seriously ill. To neighbors who give an anniversary party. To a guest speaker, when we are the hos- tess. Q. Should a hostess rise when greeting a guest who has just arrived, and other guests are already present? % A. Yes, always, A hostess is very discourteous who does not rise to greet every guest, and also when taking leave of each departing guest. Q. How should one eat break- fast bacon, with the fingers or a fork? : ? A. When possible, with the fork. But when it is very dry and crisp and scatters into frag- ments when broken by the fork, fingers are permitted. : Q. How should the invitations be worded if the bride is a young widow? : A. They should be issued in the names of her parents, just as the invitations to her first . wedding were. Thus: "Mr. and 'Mrs. Paul J. Miller request the honour of your presence at the marriage of their daughter, Ruth Miller Johnson, to, etc." - Q. I recently saw a man din- ing in a restaurant snap his fingers in order to attract the attention of the waiter. Isn't this considered rude? A. This is exceedingly ill= bred! He should always wait until he catches the waiter's eye, then an inclination of the head will do the trick. r Q. Is there any rule as to who should make the introductions at an informal 'home gathering --the host or the hostess? A, No. Either may do this. , SESE -- -- Costly Whistle Wolves are having a thin time of it in the Middle East--both kinds of wolves, those with four and those with two legs.
