FOR A SPRING MARRIAGE Wedding bells are ringing all year around in these modern times and lots of them are chim- ing for early spring as well as for the month of June. Though our brides of today are just as romantic as their mothers and grandmothers, they are also, of necessity, a bit more practical in their choice of bridal gowns. For this reason many brides-to- are selecting fabrics that are 8; quite as costly as the mater- s used in the past. And without giving up tradition they have re- tained the charm and beauty of the wedding dress. This one is a perfect example of today's trend. It is made of Swiss or- gandy daintily embroidered with lilies of the valley which are picked out with 'tiny iridescent sequins. Sprays of lily of the val- ley outline the decolletage and the soft draping of the ice. A bouffant floor-length skirt has same embroidery as the or- gandy gloves. 'CHILD GUIDANCE :.

And with all the information and ideas coming over the air and from the movie screen, not to mention that from the printed page, this confusion tends to increase. Never was there a time when anyone with eyes and ears has been exposed to so many ideas and bits of knowledge when the average person has had a mental smattering of so much. A POPULAR THEORY Before the moving picture had advanced very far, even before radio and certainly before televis- jon, a popular theory of education was that the more things a child is interested in, the better his edu- cation. Accordingly, he was encour- aged to start as many hobbies as he wished, even stimulated to start more, it wasn't important whether he ever finished any of them or not. Mastery and a passion for precision were taboo. Even to- day the average child at school messes over much and masters relatively little. But isn't this trend at school just the opposite to what the child needs to profit most from in this age of pictures, radio and televis- ion? Doesn't he need some sturdy mental guideposts to hold to while he looks and listens to all the inter- esting things he can see and hear? ELEMENTARY FACTS Now the specialist in a field of science or technology, while seeing or hearing on the air a feature on his or a related specialty, may easily organize the ideas presented around what he has already mast- ered. The high school youth who has acquired clearly a few elemen- tary facts in general science, hist- ory or geography, hardly will be so confused on hearing or viewing a factual program on the air as the youth who has not mastered these. Indeed, the former may have his knowledge and mental hor- izons greatly enriched and widened thereby. Yet how vague and con- fusing is what the average person views, hears or reads of the hap- penings in the world. Shouldn't one of the major pur- poses of our schools be to enable children to select, classify and re- organize the ever - growing-richer mental stimulators he is exposed to, during his leisure hours? erefore, it would seem that our children in school should mas- ter the few basic skills and bits of knowledge to a high degree, rather than be led to smattering and messing over more and more.

Yet, we do not know wheth- er to believe that warmer tempera- tures are coming for sure, Al- though it is too chilly to start housecleaning there are hoosekeep- ing problems that are worth while discussing. For instance, what wax should we use on furniture, floor- ing and metal or leather surfaces? The knowledge of the uses of wax in the home is very important in the upkeep of our furnishings. There are five kinds of wax pol- ishes available for home use and they differ from each other in ap- plication. 1. Paste wax was the original wax for home use and is the most concentrated. It should be applied on a clean dry surface and buffed to a smooth satiny sheen. 2. Liquid polishing wax is paste wax thinned to a liquid by a solvent with a naptha-like odor. Liquid polishing wax removes dirt and leaves a protective wax coat- ing, which like paste wax, required buffing. 3. Self-polishing wax has a water base, little odor and dries to a bright high sheen without buffing. It should be applied to a clean dry surface and must be removed oc- casionally with fine steel wool and a detergent. 4. Cream wax is a creamy emul- sion consisting of a blend of waxes and a dry-cleaning solvent -- as well as a small amount of neutral soap and water which removes certain kinds of stains such as sugar and starch. It is recommend- ed for use on furniture, woodwork and equipment such as refrigera- tors and washing machines. On the above mentioned equipment it cleans and polishes with a mini- mum of rubbing. 5. No-rubbing furniture wax cleans wood, metal and leather sur- faces but needs a little wiping to polish. (We have not tried this wax on plastic coverings.) TAKE A TIP 1. Furniture which has previously been treated with an oily polish must be washed with tepid sudsy water, rinsed and dried before ap- plying wax for the first time. 2. Apply Xx to furniture to a small area with a circular motion, When polishing, first use quick short strokes across the grain and finish with long strokes rubbing with the line of wood. 3. A recent wax on the market cleans and polishes without rub- bing to obtain a sheen. Note the directions state wetting a soft cloth with the wax polish and spread over the entire surface and remois- ten cloth before it becomes dry. When dry, buff the surface with a clean cloth, turning the cloth frequently. 4. Paste wax without the nhptha odor is perhaps preferred for much- used surfaces which require a lot of protection. 5. Daily dusting of waxed sur- faces enchances the sheen and pre- vents a thick layer of gritty dirt which may scratch the finish, 6. Never use an oiled or treated dust cloth on waxed surfaces. Lint- less materials (cheesecloth, flannel or old silk) are the best dusters. 7. A thin layer or application of Wax lasts longer than a thick coat- ng. 8. Paste or self-polishing wax on linoleum or wood floorings should be removed before dirt becomes embedded in the wax. Use fine steel wcol with floor cleaner spread on small areas when there is no open fire in the room. Have several cloths to mop up dirty cleaner. 9. Newly applied shellac on new or refinished floors should be per- mitted to set a day or two before waxes are used. : 10.

Asphalt, rubber tile and cork surfaces should always be finished with self-polishing wax. Do not use waxes with a solvent in them. |, TH UESTION BOX Mrs. H. asks: How can an elec- tric polisher be kept in good con- dition? Answer: 1. If possible store the polisher on edge of brush so that the weightgis not on the brush or brushes. 2. Clean brushes with cleaner every'3 or 4 months, depending on its use. 3. Dp not jerk the appliance or force it forward vigorously while in operation. 4. Always turn switch to "Off" before pulling plug from outlet. 5. Reverse the coiling of the cord to a figure eight wind over the holders. 6. Replace a worn or frayed cord. Mrs. R. A. asks: What are the in- gredients for a homemade furni- ture cleaner? Answer: Our neighbour mixes 1 tbsp. gum turpentine and 3 tbsps. linseed oil to 1 quart of boiling water. This amount should last for months. Mrs. St. C. asks: How do you keep piano keys from yellowing and can they be witened? Answer: Real ivory keys will darken with age. Darkness tends to yellow real ivory and leaving the keyboard open except while clean- dinin; ing will help. Although it is not wise to expose keys to direct sun. Clean ivory with a cloth moisten- ed with denatured alcohol. Never use soap. Remember, too, that ex- cess moisture lossens the ivory from the key blocks of a piano. Mr. C. C. asks: Can mildrew be removed from an old book? Answer: Sprinkle French chalk (from drug store) between pages, close the book and leave it for several days. Brush off the chalk.

Smart Canadian housewives placing less emphasis on formal, g-room dinners and much more on meals outside in summer, or rumpus. room snacks where family and friends can visit, chat or watch television, Meals where it's most pleasant to have them seems to be the housewives' motto, And that's where the trays come in handy. So now that meals travel on trays, designers are creating these handy aids in new styles with many new functions, The one-person size is the most popular new tray. Call it a tray with legs, or a junior end table, it is still meant for easy serving anywhere in the use. These trays are always stackable for storage, since your modern housewife is likely to need any number of them for family or buffet service. Some are made of wood, painted in decorator colours, and others come in black wrought iron, with glass or wood-effect re- movable tops. Another version of the tray-table idea is done with a fairly large tray, equipped with legs about six inches long. This can besplaced for serving on top of a table or buffet in the usual manner, and can alsp TV Changing Canada's Meal Habits Serving Trays Replace Dining Table be used as a low, portable coffee table. The new trays are designed for specific purposes. There are small ones for single snacks, and others, as large as can be carried, for dessert parties. These hold ' both the dessert, and the plates on which it will be served. For serving entire main courses, one group has spiked and grooved area for a roast, and wells for vegetables. There are many more divided into compartments, or fit- ted with their own' dishes for serving relishes and salads. Leisurely meals, served some dis- tance from the kitchen, raise the problem of keeping food hot. So this spring, Canadian women are going to see a lot of accessories designed to do just this job. They will see simple wrought iron racks, equipped with a can- dle holder, for heating casseroles or coffee carafes. Some dishes, such as earthenware pots for curry or creole, have their own heating apparatus. But the prize gift 'for spring brides and Canadian hostes- ses will be a chafing dish.

In a grey and silver London salon miniature of its Paris counterpart in the Avenue Montaigne, Dior gave last-minute scrutiny, and the final master touch, to the first gar- under a Dior label. With prices ranging from 30 guin- eas for a day dress,"50 to 60 guineas for top coat and skirt, to 1200 for a ball gown, costs are above aver- age for off-the-peg clothes in Lon- don. Thus, i will tell that much to dress "the Dior ay BOUGHT IN PARIS Off-the-peg numbers are not so exclusive as a couture model, and for many mears now, British wo- men have worn Dior styles origin- ating in the Paris salon, Manufac- turers attending the Paris dress shows buy models later reproduced in quantity at prices acceptable to the working girl. These, however, do not carry the Dior label. This slender French designer, with the business precision of a city stockbroker, insists that any garment carrying his label must conform to standards that make high prices imperative. For instance, clothes are de- signed to flatter the figure, and each dress is so cut and backed with canvas where necessary, so perfectly boned, it does not wrinkle or alter shape. Coats, dresses and suits are completely lined. In London, the ready-to-wear Dior models sell at about one-third of the price of those purchased in the Paris salon. They have the sculp- tured, exquisite simplicity beloved by the well-dressed Englishwoman --combined with the hallmark of Paris chic. NOTABLE EXAMPLE One lovely example is a coat in Dior red worsted, priced at 55 guineas. Cut in the trend of his new tulip line, unveiled this month at the Paris shows, it has an up- ward sweep emphasizing rounded shoulders and tapering to slim hips. . Snow and sunlight glitter in shin- ing ball gowns such as a snowy net given an alpine look: by hori- zontal zig-zag lines of gunmetal bugle beads, and a midriff of sil- ver sequins. A golden sun pierced at the heart with silver glowed from the bodice of a strapless, snow-white satin gown sprinkled with gold embroidered leaves. WOULD BEAUTY ROADS ST.
