PAGE EIGHT THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE In The Home ~ OF INTEREST TO W i... Carpet Made by Queen Mary Leaving for Canada Wednesday The famous carpet made by Queen Mary, 82-year-old mother of King George VI is leaving England on board the liner "Queen Mary" on March 15th and will begin its tour of the United States and Can- ada on March 20th. Queen Mary took eight year: to make the car- pet, which contains a million stit- ches in 448 different colours. Exhibition arrangements which have been made so far are as fol- lows: --Metropolitan Museum, New York . .. March 21st to March 25th inclusive. National Museum of Canada, Ottawa . . . March 26th to March 28th inclusive. National Col- lection of Fine Arts, Washington March 30th to April 2nd inclusive. Arrangements are now being _ made for exhibition at museums -- in other cities in the United States and Canada. It is hoped to give complete details of the itinerary early next week. Queen Mary has given the car- pet to the United Kingdom Govern- ment to help bridge the dollar gap. This means 'that any money paid for the carpet after exhibition in North America will be used to pur- chase materials there which Brit- ain needs urgently. Anyone wishing to make an offer to buy the carpet is asked to sub- mit a sealed tender to the commit- tee in London, which is responsible for the organization of the North American tour. These sealed ten- ders will be opened in June at the conclusion of the tour. In presenting the carpet to the nation, Queen Marry takes the view that it is the duty of every British citizen to contribute some thing di- rectly to help Britain in its efforts to bridge the dollar gap. The only condition of sale is that the ulti- mate home of the carpet should be some public institution of repute. The carpet will be accompanied on its travels by Colonel The Hon. Angus McDonnell who knows the United States and Canada intimate- ly and who was personal asistant to Lord Halifax, a former British Am- bassador to the United States. In di- rect charge of the carpet will be Miss Patricia Hardie, a member of the British Women's Voluntary Services. The carpet was originally intend- ed by Queen Mary as an heirloom to be left in one of the royal resi- dences. It measures 10 feet, two inches by six feet nine-and-a-half inches (10°2" x 69-12") it is made up of 12 panels, each with a dif- ferent floral design. On 11 of the panels, a facsimile of Queen Mary's signature has been worked in. Pantaloons Replacing Petticoats For Day and Evening Wear in Paris By FLORENCE MILLS Paris, March 13--(AP)--Peeping pantaloons instead of peeping petti- coats are the latest craze in Paris. Famous French designers have produced such a variety of them this spring that any woman who wants to can "wear the pants" at] any time of the day or night. There are long 'ones in satin and taffeta for lounging and hostess duty; knee pants in linen and flannel for travel and town wear; afternoon dresses in chiffon and silk with calf-length pantaloons beneath their ample skirts, and above all, a great assortment of be-pantalooned evening dresses. Some of the pants can be seen only when the skirt of the dress swings out at a certain angle. These are the ones that come with chiffon or taffeta afternoon or cock- tail dresses. Others are blatantly obvious through lace dresses which have no underslips. Balenciaga, the Spanish designer who started the flying panel vogue, is 'the main exponent of the new pantaloon styles. He shows dresses in figured green taffeta and chiffon with pantaloons of the same ma- terial, or ecru lace, beneath tiered, petal skirts. These look discreet compared to cocktail numbers in fine cobweb black lace, transparent enough to reveal clearly the frilly lace or taffeta pantaloons. worn with them. | Balanciaga's boudoir pants in- | clude one pair in white stain with | legs that taper into a three-button | fastening at the ankles.

"Ice Frolic" Means Long Hours of Sewing On Colorful Costumes On Tuesday, March 21, when the curtain goes up on "Ice Frolics of 1950" at the Oshawa Arena, one of the biggest jobs of the entire show will be almost entirely. lost to view in the glamour and beauty of the presentation of the Frolics them- selves. We are speaking of course of the huge job of designing and making the more than five hundred cos- tumes that go to make the show a thing of beauty. However, all the credit that will be given to the twenty-odd women who toiled and worked so hard in making these beautiful costumes will be a few lines of small type in the official program. These women have worked nights and holidays for well over two months to cut out and sew all of the costumes needed excepting a very few special numbers. Only through the loyal support and hard work of the various women connected with the Oshawa Skating Club would it be possible to put on a show of the magnitude of "Ice Frolics of 1950." To even rent a comparable number of costumes it would cost well over fifteen hun- dred dollars and to buy them would be entirely out of the question. By doing all of the work themselves, | this staggering expenditure is cut to a fraction and the Oshawa show | emerges as one of the best dressed in the country. Before the actual work of sewing the costumes begins, there is also a great deal of planning and design- ing done to det:rmine just what costumes will be made for certain numbers, After this comes the gathering of information as to sizes, estimates and materials, Then the material has to be cut ready for sewing, all of this before the major- ity of the women can start to sew. Once everything is ready then all of the committee can pitch in and finished costumes are the result. When yuo see "Ice Frolics of 1950" at the Oshawa Arena on Tuesday or Wednesday, March 21 and 22, just stop a minute and notice the pretty costumes and then think a bit . . . how would you like to sew five hundred of them? There are 1,023,400 Canadians of age 65 and over. If the means test for old age pensions were abol- ished and the age limit reduced to 65, pension cost at present rates would total $442,108,800 a year.-- Quick Canadian Facts, Motor City Cleaners 182 SIMCOE SOUTH PHONE 4430 For Free Pickup & Delivery OMING / Jock HIGH GREGORY PECK <0 Lillian Mae Marsh SCHOOL OF DANCING BALLET, TAP, TOE.

Half of them have designed short-skirted models that flatten the bust and hips and often abol- ish the waistline, The other half offer creations that make the most of the femin- ine contour, emphasizing the bust and hips, minimizing the waist and generally indulging in such femini- ties as fussy sleeves and revealing necklines. There are, of course, some design- ers who effect a compromise by showing a mixture of both. The leader in the figure-flatten- ing group is Jacques Fath, who cre- ates for the "bright young things" in French society as well as for the mass market in the United Sta- tes and Canada. This spring he goes in for severe looking styles that put the accent on a straight-line narrow ' silhou- ette. It is made mannish by the use of high, starched whi . wing collars, bow ties, satin stocks com- plete with pearl stickpins and stud- ded shirts. ; His skirts are extremely short and tight -- unflattering to anyone whose hips tend to bulge. The jack- ets worn with them are wair™ middy blouse or windbreaker -. ie, Christian Dior also favors these extremely simple styles, but he makes them more feminine with extra-low-cut necklines instead of adding to their severity with stiff collars and tow ties. Molyneux, on the whole, shows full-skirted dresses with a wel- indented waistline but he indulges in a few straight dresses with long Chinese style tunics loosely belted below the waist. On the other side of the picture are such designers as Marcel Ro- chas, Belenciaga, Robert Piquet and Chiaparelli. They play up the feminine figure making it shapely with flowing, full skirts, When they use slim skirts they are usually coupled with jac- kets that are shaped or belted to fit the waist in such a way as to give a rounded look to the hips. Even the hair styles shown by the two groups are different. Most of the models wearing the feminine looking clothe. had long hair worn upswept or in a chignon on the nape of the neck. Those wearing the straight-lined models had their hair cropped or short-bobbed. CLOSE UP OF: -- A Village 12 Centuries Old By ELIZABETH RICHMOND Sherborne, C old towns in Dorsetshire -- a south- ern county in England -- dates from the eighth century. It has a Norman Abbey Church, a beautiful old school for boys, and a ruined Norman castle. Woollen and cloth manufacturers flourished in Sher- borne formerly, and today silk and glove mills are among the town's industries. In the year 705 A.D. the great Englishman, Aldhelm was created Bishop of Sherborne. A century later a monastery was founded there, and in 1122 the Abbey Church was rebuilt magnificently by Roger of Caen, a celebrated churchman. In the 15th century additional re- building took place; the great west windows were opened out, the choir reconstructed with wonderful fan- tracery in the roof which is con- sidered by some experts to be the most perfect fan-vaulting in Eng- land, When the restoration work was finished in 1490 a great fair was held in Sherborne. This fair has taken place each year since on the second Monday in October. After the dissolution of the mon- asteries in England in the 16th century, the Abbey Church became the property of Sir John Horsey. The people of Sherborne bought it from him for £250 and made it their parish church. The Wick- ham Chapel in the Church is the burial-place of Sir Thomas Wyatt, the Tudor statesman called the "Father of the English Sonnet" be- cause he was the first poet to use the 14 line poem in the English form, Sir Walter Raleigh The Abbey Church is associated with another great Tudor figure-- Sir Walter Raleigh, soldier, writer and explorer who was granted a patent by Queen Elizabeth to seek new lands. across the Atlantic. He' used to sit in St. Catherine's Chapel in the Abbey Church. one of the loveliest On his way to Plymouth, Raleigh cnce stopped at Sherborne, and was so charmed with its old-world atmosphere that he persuaded Queen Elizabeth to give him the lease of Sherborne Castle which he made his home. Sherborne Castle had been built by Roger of Caen and Raleigh began to restore it, His work was never finished, for Raleigh was beheaded in the Tower of Lon- don, The castle was destroyed in the 17th century but after the Ree storation of King Charles II in 1660 another castle was built from some of the materials of the old one. The second castle is still to be seen as well as the ruins of the first. Sherborne School for boys was founded by Aldhelm in the eighth century. It is believed that Alfred the Great was a pupil there. When the monastery was dissolved, the School attached to it was spared and a few years later Edward VI endowed it. His statue looks down on the boys as they flock into their ancient dining-room. In the school library are over 6,000 volumes, given by the 17th century chemist Robert Boyle. He is the reputed donor of copies of the Old and iv Testament in 'the Red Indiar .anguage. Nothing is so broadening to a man as foreign travel, and to a woman as a pair of ski trousers.-- Mr. J. S.
