GIVEN HIGH GRADING (Continued from page 1) of this are satisfactory". Dealing with the inspection as a whole the inspectors comment is as follows: "As in many Ontario centres, the enrolment here shows an in- crease over that of last year. I'ne ratio of pupils to teachers fis unusually high, but the disad- vantages resulting have been minimized by careful organiza- tion, The manner in which the teachers are seeking to cope with the difficulties entailed by large classes is to he commended, The conduct of the pupils in the classrooms and in the corridors is deserving of special praise. The good spirit evidence in the school is due in large measure to the way in which the Prin- cipal has been able to win the co-operation of the members of inspectors had the opportunity of visiting the daily morning assem- bly, which is perhaps the finest expression of the life of the school. The close attention of the pupils and their self control on this occasion indicated their ap- preciation of these opening ex- ercises". WASP WAISTS NOT SO POPULAR An attempt by Paris dressmakers to revive the wasp-waist of our grandmothers .is meeting with little success in this country. A buyer in the corset department of a leading London store, asked if there was any demand for a new type of corset, shook her head em- phatically. "There hasn't been the whisper of an inquiry," she said. "I have one model here that came recently from Paris and while I was holding a corsetry demonstration the other day I thought I would show it on a mannequin, "We had a lot of difficulty in squeezing the poor girl into it but at last we managed to give her the appearance of having an 18-inch waist. "When she walked out among the audience of women they" laughed until I thought they would never stop. I looked at my mannequin and thourh she was looking very uncomfortable -- and so she must have been, for the next minute she fainted! Not Worth the Risk "Englishwomen are much too sen- sible and fond of an active life ever to constrict their bodies and endan- ger their health for a fashion fad. "The old-time corset caused an- aemia, malformation of the ribs, strained heart and breathlessness. What modern woman is going to risk any or all of that?" Hand-Knit Woolens For Sports Wear Paris.--Hand-knitted woolens triumph all along the sports line this winter.

McDonald, 291 Leslie Street. ed for many a year Is Jean Pa- tou's model, which has trousers cut like riding breeches, full above the knees and fitted below. These give the effect of short pants, though they are really long. They may be worn with the heavy socks rolled about the an- kles or with plus-four-length stockings rolled below the knees. Another innovation in the snow sports mode, launched by Bruyere, is a windbreak back panel of heavy felt or wool vel- ours, made in one with a wide belt buttoned at one side of the front. This panel, which falls to just above the ankles, is so cut that it does not wrap around the legs and impede free movement and it makes trousers look well on certain womanly figures. Long, Loose Fur Coat is Useful Paris.--The first really snappy weather of the season seems to have set all Paris dreaming of winter sports. There igs much comparing of skis and skates, and The new three - quarter - ski pants tend to outmode the Nor- wegian trousers. The Schiaparelli knitted suit with three-quarter pants worn with the canvas galit- ers is a good type. It has already been reproduced on this page.
