At this season the Parkwood conservatories contain a most beauti- ful and unique display of Schizanthus, a plant sometimes called "the poor man's orchid." The flower is itself very small and resembles the orchid in its varied and dainty coloring. Great pots of schizanthus have taken up most of the space within the conservatories, but an interesting dis- play of calceoloria, a spring flower, resembling somewhat the moccasin plant, has not been crowded out, and some space has been reserved for the sweet peas which at this time of the year are at their best. Mrs. McLaughlin received her guests in the drawing room. Pours ing tea in the dining-room were: Mrs. Gordon Conant, Mrs. R. Mills, Mrs. J. H. Beaton and Mrs. T. W. Joyce. - » LJ Mrs. P. A.

Stalin feels in control of the Soviet regime and the Government's need for expert ed today by the return of Alex Ry- kov to the Government as Commis- sar of Posts and Telegraphs. Rykov was removed from the pre- sidency of the Council of People's Commissars last December, and from the powerful Politburo two days later, due to his "right oppos- tin" tendencies. The fact that he has not been more severely punished for opposi- tion to Stalin and that, after hav- ing recanted his opposition, he was permitted to return to an official capacity, emphasized~ a significant contrast between treatment of on- nosition leaders today and the harsh measures against the "left opposi- tionists" of several years ago when Leon Trotzky was forced from a high position' in Russia and driven into exile.

Vermeil at Society Dinner Montreal, April 2.--French and Scottish, thought and literature, and their relations to each other, formed the subject of an address last night by Prof. Edmond Ver- meil, of the University of Stras- bourg. He was speaking before the Franco-Scottish Society of Mont- réal at their dinner at the Cercle Universitaire, The speaker began by remarking on the Scotland of today and its attitude toward the French. He mentioned several visits which he himself had made to that country, and the great at- traction that it had for him, '"The Frenchman who visits Scot- land has a curious experience," he said. "In England, one is greeted cordially and welcomed warmly; the English as a nation are charming, but one always feels their great reserve. They with- draw into themselves, In Scotland, the Mvenchman feels a kinship; there is ascertain communicative- ness, a certain psychological affin- ity, which is entirely different from his relations with the Eng- Hash." Parallels Traced He then went on to trace the parallels between the two nations, political, social - and intellectual, throughout history, Beginning with the thirteenth century, he traced the various alliances and the influences of the one nation upon the other down to the pres- ent day. The points of similarity in reli- gion after the Reformation were mentioned. "The Scotch Catholic sym- pathized with the French Catholic; the Scotch Presbyterian was cous- in to the French Huguenots," said the speaker. "It was the JFng- Hishr Church that was alien to both races." Coming into more modern timex, Professor Vermeil spoke of tho Influence that Scottish phil- osophy and literature had upon French thought, from the middle of the eighteenth century to the present. Burns and Scott were especially mentioned; Scott, in the speaker's opinion, had a more profound influence on French lit- erature than any other writer iu the English language. He mention- ed Prosper Merrimee and Alfred de Vigny as two writers who had been tremendously affected and stimulated by the works of Sir Walter. . Dean Sinclair Laird of McGill University moved the vote of thanks to the speaker. Others at the head atble were Senator Ro- dolphe Lemieux, Mr. Justice G. Dessauluniers, Leon Marchal, French consul, and Gregor Bar- clay, K.C., president of the Allf- ance Francaise, . Mr. Justice E, Fabre Surveyor was in the chair. NO.CLOTHS WIFE IN COURT To restrain his wife from taking part in events where clothing is barred, & man recently appealed to a Berlin, Germany, court. Ile said that she had become an enthusjae- tic member of the Anti-Clothes So- clety, which has an estate near Berlin, where the wearing of clothes is strictly forbidden. She also went to the wave-bath at Luna Park on the nights when it is re- served for the society, When le had protested she had simply told him that he ought to keep abreast of modern progress. The puzzled judge pointed out that even a be- lef in the kultur value of naked life, did not entitle the wife to éis- regard her husband's wishes on the subject. "But how am I to stop her?" asked the husband, who was obviously dissatisfied. RECTOR AND WIFE AIR PILOTS In celebration of their silver wedding anniversary, Rev. John Pyddoke, rector of Pleasley, Eng- land, and his wife set up a new aviation record by qualifying for pilot's licenses on the same day. He is 61 and she {3s 52. They took their test at Tollerton aerodrome. One of the tests was to take the machine 2,000 fet up, shut off the engine and land within 150 yards of a given spot, Tho rector went up first and landed on the exact spot. Mrs, Pyddoke passed her tests with similar ease. Mrg. Pyd- doke had her first lesson in fly- ing nearly two years ago. She was so thrilled that on returning home she persuaded her husband to take a flight. It happened to be a "bumpy" day in the air and the rector was not impressed, but fur- ther experience converted him, PETER RABBIT STAYS AT HOME Live long enough and you'll decide The best of things are qualified, =-Peter Rabbit. No one had rejoiced more in the coming of sweet' Mistress Spring than had Peter Rabbit. He had grown tired, very tired of snow and ice and living on bark and twigs and seldom getting so much as a nibble of anything else. Then, too, he loved to watch for the re- turn of his feathered friends and neighbors from the Sunny South and the awakening of other friends who had slept all winter, So with the coming of Mistress Spring he had been almost foolishly happy. He had kicked up his long heels in the most undignified manner and done other foolish things to ox press his feelings, It seemed to timid little Mrs. Peter that he never was at home, He was forever going over to the Green Forest or the Old Orchard cr the Smiling Pool or the Old Pas- ture. You see he was so eager to greet all his returning friends and to hear the latest news he just had to be wandering about, "It is the best season in all the yoar!" Peter had declared moro than once. Now he wasn't so sure about it, It was lovely, just as lovely as ever, even more lovely, for everywhere the flowers were blooming, the green grass was get- ting high and the trees were put- ting out tender new shoots. Yet Peter wasn't wholly happy. Sweet Mistress Spring had brought buck his long absent friends but she had also brought back some of those who were fond of Peter but whose feelings Peter didn't return in kind. Among these were White- tail the Marsh Hawk and Mrs. Whitetail. At first he hadn't minded. There were many times during the day when they were so occupied with love making and nest planning that they did little hunting and Peter felt quite safe in leaving the Dear Old Briar-patch, It was the same way with the Redshoulders over in the Green Forest, But now Peter was staying at home most of the time. It wasn't e- cause he wanted to. No indeed! It was because he had to. It was because he seldom had a chance to leave safely, "They've got Peter bitterly, "So have we got a family and you ought to be proud of it, Peter labbit," spoke up little Mrs. Peter, "I am, - Of course. T am," re- plied Peter hastily. "You know I am, my dear." "Then you ought to be glad for families," sald \ MATCHLESS BEAUTY SAIS on our new Keen machine Chosen by us after careful con. sideration of all methods as the finest obtainable.

Burgess other people who have got fam- ilies," retorted little Mrs, Peter, who, from her own mother love, knew how other mothers fe!t and 80 had a kindly feeling for them, "I'm not," declared Peter ob- stinately. 'We are different. Our babies don't make trouble for oth- er people, Look over there! See Whitetail coming this way. You know perfectly well that he would pick up one of our babies if he got a chance and feed it to his own babies. ' And there is Mrs, White- tail over in the other direction. All day long they hunt, to feed those young of theirs. 1: ig the samo way with the Red Shoulders over in the Green Forest, There fs Red Shoulder sitting in the top | of that lene tree on the edge of | the Green Meadows watching for some one to drop on.

"So do 1," spoke up Mrs. Peter, "If you had sense enough to stay at home here in dear old Rriar- patch you would be safe. But no, you must be running off every chance you get." Peter said nothing. There was nothing to say. What is more, he stayed at home. He didn't dare do otherwise. And little Mrs. Pet- er was glad of it. (Copyright, 1951, T. W.

WAVES HERALD EARTHQUAKE That the recent earthquake in New Zealand was preceded by gev- eral days by huge tidal waves, in the Pacific Ocean, has been report- ed from Rarotonga, Cook Island. The submarine disturbance came in the afternoon of a perfect sum- mer day, when ths sky was cloud- less and the sea calm and biue. Waves 15 feet high suddenly rose outside the lagoon.
