Pagé 6 The Haileyburian Thursday, August 10, 1961 Across the kitchen Table BY MRS. MAC Last week I was rather puzzled because the proclamation appoint- ing August as "Sport Shirt Month" was ended by the words 'God Save the Queen". However, since seeing some of the flamboyant sports shirts, I have come to the conclusion that it should have been 'God Save Us All', instead of just the Queen. I know I'm stu- pid in a great many ways, but I| simply cannot see what good "Sport Shirt Month" does. The majority of men wear sports shirts during the summer months any- way. To me it would seem just as sensible to have a "Lipstick Week", or "Powder Your Nose Week", But proclamations make money for newspapers, so who am I to complain, as long as the tax- payers don't? * * The holiday week-end is over and I really feel satisfied with the work I got done in the gar- den. It sounds rather silly to judge the success of a holiday by the amount of work one gets done, but I guess if I was doing work I didn't like doing, I wouldn't be so pleased about it. Anyway, I'm revamping the rockery steps at the back of the lawn and adding a bit of a rock garden at the back as well as the front. And in bet- ween times, -I'm picking raspber- ries, and do they ever ripen fast! A list of prizewinners in handi- crafts at the CNE. received at this office, shows that St. Paul's News from the Svlyn Shoppe HAILEYBURY soon will come the moment when women are going to wonder how they will look off the beach and away from their summer haunts. And when that special trip or soc- ial engagement comes up, your last season's frock just doesn't seem to do a thing for you! If you. have. added that little inch around the waistline or thighs, then Gossard has the long length panty girdle which supplies the "Answer" to your problem. Never before has. gentle control been so persuasive, with slender fingers of elastic that fan out over the tum/ my and control through upward and inward lift, smoothing the flesh comfortably and eliminating bulges effectively. The satin baek panel controls the derriere, the long leg insures a smooth line and has tiny hidden hose supporters. Or perhaps you would like to try the new "Lycra" Miracle fabric. The new knits arriving at Eve- lyn's are a "must" in every chic woman's wardrobe. They pack beautifully and are wearable through the four seasons. The double Lombardi knits in wool come in regular and half sizes, When Evelyn was away buying, she scoured the market. to- give you quality and value in car coats. You can choose a fabric in gen- uine Holland Royal Suedine, manu- factured by Hedal in the Nether- lands, who have been in textiles Since 1880. These coats are in three-quarter length and are ter- rifie value at $19.95. We also have a shorter length with all quilted lining, in suedine at $16.95. Another group of laminated Jersey jackets, three-quarter and long coats, have all the smart styling of 1961. Remember, if you need back-to- school skirts, sweaters or sports coats, Evelyn has a good assort- ment now in. Why pay three per cent sales tax on September Ist? Buy now and save!
