"Some secretaries refuse to say who they represent, but I can re- cognize every star's clothes," Miss Richmond said. A few actresses dicker over prices. The clothes of some even are turn- ed down because Miss Richmond thinks "nobody else would be seen dead in them." Most stars' clothes she buys are in good shape except for cigarette burns and marks left by jewels.

For example, it is now possible to be married in the very same wed- ding dress wom by the heroine of your favourite film. A lovely satin wedding dress with its eight yards of net train was worn by Dulcie Gray in the British film "They Were Sisters." This has grac- ed so many weddings at £3 3s, a time that it is now temporarily out of ac- 'tion being rejuvenated. But Gainsborough Pictures, who started a wardrobe hire service in 1941 when clothes rationing was in- troduced, have many. other wedding gowns from which brides can take their choice. There is, for instance, Joy S8helton's wedding dress that appeared in the film "Waterloo Road." Hire charges range from £1 1s. to £3 3s. for gowns valued at £35 and upwards.

Teen-Agers' Styles Are Sophisticated By HELEN BANNERMAN Canadian Press Staft Writer 'New Yorn, Feb, 12--(CP)-- Sophisticated 'teen-agers will look like pretty babies this spring --and the accent is-on the word "sophisticated." The new clothes take a lot of wearing. ' White pique and black velvet are junior high-style fabrics and demure white gloves complete most costumes, For example, the little bolero suit with the short black velvet jacket buttoning at the throat under the ruffled Peter Pan col- lar rounds away below the but- tons to show. the white pique blouse to which the blouse be- longs, The ruffled cuffs on the blouse's long sleeves are turned back over the bolero sleeves to match the collar, The wide-band- ed, gathered skirt i{s of pin-check- ed green and white wool. With this beguiling costume goes a burnt straw sailor, lined on the under side of the brim with black velvet and having streamers of the same material. It is worn on the back of the head on top of a slack, bombed- back hair-do. Final touches are low, strapped. shoes and white gloves. The whole costume may be changed by different skirts, blouses, hats and shoes to make the most versatile item in a sub- deb's wardrobe. Smart Daytime Wear Variations of the junior theme are neat daytime dresses, button- ed to the neck and sporting small collars; full-skirted dresses for dress-up, with low, wide necklines and short, puffed sleeves. One of the prettiest of these is of green and white striped taffeta with a wide black velvet midriff, For a "good" dress, just this side of a formal evening gown, a simple frock of black faille is the best bet of New York fashion houses specializing in "teen" fash- ions, And (parents take note) with these dresses go simple ' black shoes with a really high heel to balance the new, slightly longer hemline. Black suede opera pumps are number one choice for wear with faille costumes, Suits again have the costume look---with a simple grey flannel jacket and flared skirt dressed up with a white pique collar a lit- tle smaller than the suit collar. WHite pique gloves, pert sailor, and saddle leather over-the- shoulder bag go with this suit. Grey and pastel corduroy and thin tweeds are being presented in junior forecasts 'or spring suits while wool, both sheer and crepe, are the choice for spring dresses. g i i i LESH Founder's Night At Westmount H&S \ Founder's Night was observed at the monthly meeting of Westmount Heme and School Association on Monday night with the teachers in charge of the program and refresh- ments. Miss Amelia Lear gave an inter- esting paper for both parents and teachers. Mrs. T. D. Thomas and Miss Lenore Collacutt, one of the teachers, sang two duets, "Juanita" and "Whispering Hope", accom- panied by Mrs. G. R. Booth, Mr. Frank Owen gave two comic read- ings, "Albert and the Lion" and "Noah's Ark." Mrs, C. A. Weldon, moved a vote of teachers. Mrs. Ronald Thomas, Mrs, T. D. Thomas and Mrs, C. A. Wel- don were appointed as delegates to the Home and School convention in Toronto, Plans were made for the 25th birthday party to be held on March 14, with the executive committee in charge, and Mrs. Frank Laycoe as convener.

The court painter--perhaps the man who painted the tomb--was buried with his paint jars stained with many colors. The carver wao shaped out of the hardest stone the beautiful vases found in the tomb was discovered with his copper chi. sel and two specimens of his work. Slaves Buried The excavation of this tomb by Walter Emery, the Egyptologist who has made a number of discoveries throwing light on the civilization of Egypt nearly 6,000 years ago, has shown that at that time slaves or servants were still buried with the rulers. Later Pharaohs in more humane times had only little statuettes af their various servants placed in thelr tomb, Hundreds of these sta- tuettes' showing Egyptians in every walk of life weré found in the tomb of Tutankhamen who lived nearly 2,00) years after Queen Merneith, Queen Merneith, identified by her name stamped on the clay stoppers of the wine jars and on the stone vessels plac:d in her tomb, was either the wife of King Zer, second king of the First Dynasty, or was his daughter and wife of a later King, Udimu, also of the First Dynasty. Grave Robbed Of the Queen's body nothing has been found, Grave robbers who robbed the grave, probably within 100 years of her death, burned the great woodene coffin apparently in an effort to prevent her spirit from haunting them. The great wine jars in her tomb survived the fire but of the coffin only the ashes remained. Articles found in the various cells of the great brick mastaba included a fine collecticn of plates and vases, made from alabaster, diorite and basalt, The last two stones are ex- tremely hard to work even with modern steels and archaeologists are puzzled how the Egyptians suc- ceeded in making these vases with such a high degree of polish and accuracy, Girl Wins Out i With One Limb caps seemed she learned to walk, ride homse- buck, dance and write--and now slaves were | to wlayed piano designed for the left hand alone. p-------- Edison's Desk A Disappointment West Orange, N.J., Feb, 10-- ~--(AP)~--Thomas Alva Edison's famous rolltop desk--sealed since his death more than 15 years ago--was opened Saturday by his son and was found to contain sei- entific materials, but mostly per- sonal effects of Edison the man. There were stomach pills and mouth wash, bills accumulated for decades, jokes written in his own hand, a book he never had time to autograph for a young girl in Chicago, but nothing start- ling except perhaps a small vial of uranium nitrate, His son, Charles Edison, former New Jersey governor, supervised the unsealing and study of the desk. Standing beside him was Mrs, Thomas A. Edison, widow of the great inventor, LIFER "The serious crime of stealing H.
