Role of Katisha Katisha is definitely not a comic | caaracter according "to Mrs. Jack Reid who has been studying the role all summer for the forthcoming lo- cal production of the Mikado. "Homely she may be" she added, "but funny,--no. In the beginning of the play she is a woman thwart- ed in love and seething with rage. When she sees her cause is lost she becomes saddened, and the solo she sings at this part, "Alone and Yet Alive" approaches grand opera with its dramatic intensity. Here she is a pathetic character. Finally when roles, but in this, her first Gilbert and Sullivan characterization, she has found full scope for her talent. Katisha is a strong character as a foil to the three simpering little maids. Possessor of a full contralto voice Mrs. Reid came to Oshawa over twenty years ago and became a solo- is; at-8t. Andrew's United Churth. She had previously been a profes- sional soloist at Dundas Centre at London, Ont. where the late Parnell Morris was the organist, and a for- mer pastor of Simcoe Street United Church, Oshawa, the Rev. Capt. John Garbutt was the minister. As a young girl the former Miss Jessie Gordon was widely known in her home, Glasgow, for her fine voice, being at a youtaful age a professional soloiét 'in Renfield Street Church on Sauchiehall Street, She was a member of the Glasgow Grand Opera Society with whom she sang in Aida, The Queen of Sheba, Faust and Tannhauser. With the Failharmonic Grand Op- era she took part in The Merry Wives of Windsor, Martha and oth- ers. She also sang in a French light opera, "La Fille de Mme Angot". Her family was delighted, Mrs. Reid said when she was asked to become a member of the Glasgow Select Choir, an exclusive professional group of 16 voices, She was the youngest member to be admitted. Returning to Scotland for a holi- day Mrs, Reid was sought out by the Rob Roy Theatrical Company who persuaded her to join the cast and with whom she travelled MR. AND MR. HAROLD A.

She contends that cooking is an 'exact science, like preparing a chemical formula. Mrs. Aitken, who will be interviewed on Cana- dian Cavalcade, October 5, says women would have few cooking troubles. if they would measure their ingredients exactly and al- ways bear in mind that a teaspoon of baking powder always raises a half cup of flour. : Mrs. Aitken is known as a human dynamo who can do six jobs at onge, who can inspire audiences with a sentence and who can send her friends to bed with a case of fatigue they've borrowed from just watching her work for half an hour. . Her interest in the kitchen goes back to early childhood when she spent hours in the family home at Beeton,- * Ontario, watching her mother cut out gingerbread men for a large family. At one time Mrs. Aitken ran a 26-acre farm, raising White Wyandottes. She w two world records for high egg py ) duction and also launched a hom canning enterprise which gave em- ployment to 13 women. . In addition to being women's edi= tor of a national Canadian week- ly magazine, Mrs. Aitken is direc= tor of women's activities for the Canadian National Exhibition, does "a daily morning broadcast on wom- en's affairs and has just launched a new national network program for a flour company.

Here's a letter a girl who is in- vited to a dance by a boy shorter than she, "Dear Elinor: Recently I was ask- 2d to a dance by a boy I like and who likes me very much, but he is at least three inches shorter than I-am. I said yes, but now I am won- dering if I did the right thing. Do you think I could dance with him without making him and myself ri- diculous? My shoes are as flat as I tan get them. Please print this in the paper, as I feel sure tha many ~girls are bothered the same as 1." Ans---Nothing can pe done about a difference in height except to wéar low heels and then forget it. You accepted the invitation, so now you must keep your word and go to the dance with the boy. Afterward, why not decide wha: you prefer to io Ir¢ when you raceive fnvitations--wheler you'd # boy wifo is not as tall - as you, have fun and "circulate" enough to meet other boys and girls or refuse the date, stay home and miss the dance: My suggestion is--Go to the dance and have fun. Forget. his: height. Telephones buzz more often for girls who. date and who are seen dating than for girls who never go places with boys. Do this without appearing to "go steady" with the shorter boy, how- ever, so tco-frequent dates with him won't prevent your having opportun- ities for fun with other boys whom you might enjoy more and perhaps like better. This doesn't mean de- ceiving fim. Simply date him on a friendly basis, have fun, but don't repeat your dates with him often enough to givé the . impression of "going steady."

Bit Dramatic In Your Interior Decorations Today's living is a very moving story, for this is a period of be- ginning, and beginning again. Brides and bridegrooms are estab- lishing new homes, families are once more together after a transi- tory era of wandering in the wake of war . . . everywhere, the em- phasis is on home. Finding a house is something else again, and often the makeshift arrangements necessary, make prob- lems of interior . decoration seem overwhelming. But a worth- while suggestion is to start your decorating with the greatest ex- panse . . . bring color into your walls and ceiling. There's nothing more depressing than a dark, dingy wall surface, unless it be the utter monotony of neutral mutes . . . beige, taupe, white . . . . which cannot speak for themselves, or you! You can't help but reflect a joyous new spirit if your walls are ethereal azure blue, a pale clear green . . . in fact, and of the green shades right up to the lime and chartreuse that make such a perfect foil for current favorites, coral and cranberry. And there's no excuse for living in the dark with so many easy-to-use washes avail- able, Oncé you've set the scene, your problem is lightened. Whether you be newlywed .or newly settled down, doubtless you have a certain amount of lares and penates with which to set up housekeeping. May- be you've raided family storerooms for unused, and, alas, outmoded, furniture with which to fill spac- ious voids; maybe you have a mis- cellany of wedding gifts which do not fit into your decorative plan . ...or perhaps you've carted along with you treasured heirlooms of prides-and-joys which you couldn't leave behind.

Does this make you suffer from hot flashes, feel so nervous, high: , tired? Then pound torelievesuchsymptoms! Pinkham's Compound also has what Doctors call a stomachic tonic effect! \ these pieces . . . quite elegant or white elephants . . . into a unified group with family integrity? It is in these unaffiliated pieces that your real challenge lies, but fortunately even the most meticu- lous decorators admit it is not nec- essary to confine your efforts to any one period . .. as long as the results are in tune. It is all a matter of proportion and scale: elaborate things do not fit in a chintzy-maple setting, massive ca- thous! pieces in an informal room, ete. Face your problem frankly, with this suggestion to guide you: if a plece has character and line, you can make a place for it; if it is de- finitely unimportant, a coat of paint will work wonders! Nonde- script tables and bookcases, for in- stance, may be made decorative highlights with a flash of smart accessory color; an old oak desk may be antiquedyor lined, a side- board treated fancifully with design and color. Dare to be a bit theatrical in your accessory decor; open up those wedding boxes, display those choice treasures, live up to that glorious painting! A dramatic lamp, like a cherished antique, is a symbol of dreagns and a sign of home. ° And in this process of beginning . +. . Or beginning again . . . you must give careful thought to basic overstuffed pieces which obviously will be in the spotlight.
