D., of St. George's United Church, officiated. The home was beautifully decor- ated with palms, ferns and roses which - filled the rooms, adorned tables, and created an artistic dis- play. More than 65 guests, a great many from out of town, attended and following the ceremony sat down to a dainty luncheon at which Rev, Dr. Back acted as toastmas- ter. He proposed a toast to the King, a toast to the bride, responded to by the groom, and a toast to friends and relatives present, which was responded to by James A. Cameron, ex-warden of York county, one of the guests. Miss Isobel Scott, an intimate friend of the bride, was unable to be present bceause of illness, and the bride's bouquet was sent to her.

Helpful Hints To take the lettering out of flour sacks first before the sack has becn wet, soak the lettered part in a basin of kerosene for a couple of hours, then with warm water and soap rub that part on board, and the coloring will quickly disappear. Then put ms the washing machine with the other clothes, and run it through as usual: boil with the other clothes, and there is not a trace of any color left. One washing was all that was nceded in our case. * = Do you always serve orange juice for breakfast or do you serve your oranges on the half-shell or in slic- es? . s No matter which method you follow size size size Noe. .e CET Fashion Show, Aug. 17 | AT THE FASHION SHOPPE Price, 20 h. ta EE Pai le) Yo © 84 SIMCOE ST.

It is designed in shades of brown, tan and silver with orange for bright color interest. On the hardwood floor is a rug of modernistic design com- bining these same colors, The walls are finished in inlaid wood veneer in shades of brown and tan, The ceiling is a cream color. The woodwork and molding is paint- ed silver. In the centre of the ceiling hangs a crystal chandelier in modern style. A rectangular alcove is covered with aluminum leaf. A valance of part glass, stained in orange, brown and green, conceals the electric lights in the top of this little alcove. The buffet stands within the alcove. At the other end of the room two built-in china closets with glass shel- ves are done in the same modernistic manner. ; All the furniture in this room has the peculiar characteristic of display- ing not one straight line. The dining table is an oval piece f brown marble, which rests on two Section: of monel metal caging. The chairs are upholstered in tan and orange velvet, Cream-colored silk gauze is used for the pane curtains. Transparent velvet, in shades to harmonize with the room, is used for the over drapes, with every edge stitched in silver.

Rich in all the food ele ments you and salts--delicious for any meal together and wonder whether it would enable us to buy an old cot- tage and a few acres in some quiet spot and settle down for good to live the simple life far from the cares and worries of town. Most men between forty and fifty feel like this occasionally, writes Rev. J. C. Hardwick in the London Even- ing News. The proper cure for this state of mind is twelve months lying fallow, and then back again to work. Some- day, when things are managed as they should be, every middle-aged man and woman wil be required by law to take this holiday or go to prison in the second division; a sort of compulsory rest cure in middle age will be' part of the recognized routine. Pleasure as well as work will be barred, for pleasure is al- ready as exacting as work, and will steadily become more so. urden of Respectability But beside the man who is over- worked or overpleasured there is an entirely different class of person who dreams of the simple life. He is tired, not of work or pleasure only, but of everything. He cannot say why, but he is "fed up." He does not desire to loaf so much as to relax. The conventions of civilized life -- col- lars, time-tables, polite conversation, and the eternal insincerity of women in their best clothes--get on his ner- ves. He gets morose and irritable, and wishes he could go off and be- come a beachcomber in the South Pacific, where you are not required to be respectable, and where women have no best clothes to wear. To the existence of a large number of such people amongst us is to be attributed the extreme popularity 'of a certain class of literature. Nothing is more eagerly read nowadays than the reminiscences of adventure seekers in every part of the globe; and the South Sea'idyll has a great vogue. The reason is simple. Can- nibal Jack and his confreres lived lives of singular freedom from con- vention and restrain. Perusing their memoirs, we seem to share the irri- tating respectability of the Joneses next door, The fact is that the burden of res: pectability sometimes becomes weari- some. And it is at such moments that we long for the simple life; that is to say, the life which is free, from conventions, I suspect that the present popular~ ity of war books is not entirely due to the desire to read about horrors. What people like to read about is the moral holiday that the soldier was able to enjoy. Absolutely nothing mattered to him but food, sleep, and a few elementary wants. Merely to keep alive was a big enough pro- blem without involving it in moral complications. The respectabilities and the conventions ceased to exist, or were placed by standards of a dif- ferent kind. A man, for example, could get drunk with a good con- science, and without forfeiting the esteem of his fellows. Of course the strain of perpetual physical danger was far more nerve- racking than the strain experienced in civit life over trying to be respec- table. But the physical danger was not there all the time; the soldier on rest need fear neither shells nor Mrs. Grundy, The two lines which give me most pleasure in "All Quiet on the Western Front" are the follow- ing: - "We sit opposite one another, Kat and 1, two soldiers in shabby coats, cooking a goose in the middle of the night." This is an inspired picture of the simple life as we see it in our dreams This is boyhood again; for the goose was stolen, The ptimitive man with- in each of us longing for the simple life, pronounces this h No doubt 'you or I could steal a oose tomorrow if we wanted to, ut the game would not be worth the candle, The thing - cannot be done with any sort of satisfaction. The price to be paid for a moral holiday is ordinary civilized life is altogether too big. The sad fact is that to experience and enjoy the simple life in its true simplicity, you must scrap civilization at any rate temporarily. This was why war was able to bring back that state of primal innnocence when recaptured merely by rentin, erside bungalow and whole of This is maki unconventional, simplicity in thé soldier 1 speak, neat. But the life of a French peasant is an example of the mix- ture only slightly diluted.

Thus the simple life is not to be ing a riv- spending the unday in a bathing suit. a convention of being There are, of course, degree of _ simple lite. The er in war time gets it, so to that of a soldier, The fact is that a majority of our simple-lifers today are poseurs, They even dress the part and wear sandals, but this does not make them any The really simple life actually enjoy it, or live like animals for the' fun of the thing. The simple life stunt is in reality a legacy from the eighteenth cen- tury when persons of quality and fashion dressed up as shepherds and shepherdresses. They thoroughly en- oyed it; and Wateau painted them at it. But the real shepherds found the life less attractive because they did not play at it, but lived it. Someone has said that the poetry of the country is always written in the town, and there is a good deal in it. For the countryman a field is a bit of land up and down which you have to toil hour after hour behind a plow, and perhaps it is raining and the land is heavy, or a place where he has hoed turnips all day long in a hot sun, He does not grouse; but neither does he romanticise over it. and he does not wear sandals, since heavy boots serve his purpose much better, The. simple life is not in realit deck chairs, raffia-work, A modernist poetry, and intellectual conversation. |. It chiefly consists of laborious work done under uncomfortable conditions and living somewhat sparsely, on the proceeds. Humbugs ! What I think makes people miser- able is the attempt to live like the ten-pound-a-week man when you only have four pounds. This is the reason why the black-coated worker is often less happy than the artisan on a slightly smaller income. The lat ter does not aim at the same degree of "respectability." The secret of be- ing tolerably happy is to avoid all pretences. . What I suggest is that the real simple life is the pre-civilized life of the savage, which war brings back on the stage. This life has its con- solations; but no normal civilized man will live it if he can avoid it. A slighted diluted simple life is that of the peasant who works on the land which supports him. Then there is a whole series of types of life get- ting less and less simple as you get further away from the stage when every man wrests his bread, with the sweat of his brow out of the soil, But the simple-lifer who goes in for all the stage properties of the game, such as sandals, vegetarian diet, canvas suiting, and so on, seems to me to be play-acting. If he really does live on goat's milk and the cab- bages he grows in his garden, I have nothing to say against him. But oth- erwise, he seems to me a little bit of a humbug, But I admit that we are all hum- bugs more or less, I make no claim to be an exception. y Day time frocks in many instances are carrying out the princess sil- houette. They are fairly 'molded to the figure, fitting tightly through the hips, this line often extending as low as the knee, which extends with a slight flare just above the hemline, 'he ensemble coat for early fall must be: unlined, so Paris decrees. The material used in this type is usually of the heavier weave, thus giving sufficient weight for early au- tumn wear, Black is considered most important for fall, with dark reddish-brown a close second. These colors are being used in costumes of varied types from those designed - for formal evening wear to the strictly tailored daytinie .nodes, After several years of oblivion, the Dolman wrap comes to the fore, both for street and evening wear. It is modified in form, and in most in- stances is lavishly trimmed with fur. Tweeds of two weights but of the same color and design are used m one ensemble. Tweed promises to he a much-favored material for fall, es- pecially in the two-piece suit. The close-fitted hipline continues popular in all types of gown.

"He was sitting', Miss Peebles relates, "be side the piano, and I was sitting there too. One of the party asked me to sing to him, so I put my arm around him and sang 'Annie Laurie' into his ear, for, you know, he has been deaf since a boy. Mr. Edison beamed and said that that was the first music he had heard for years. I was quite thrilled that I had sung to him, because few people ever get that close to him."
