MONDAY, ABRIL 30, 1851 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE NINE 3 In Jhe Home Curios, Hobbies, Musical Program | Behind the Program | Behind the Scenes at the F ifty-F ifty Club's 1 Men' s 7s Tea Features of 2nd Annual Men's Tea Most successful was the second annual Spring Tea of the Fifty- Fifty Club of Simcoe Street United Church on Saturday afternoon and evening with over five hundred guests in attendance. The church parlors were comfortably filled dur- ing the afternoon while the crowd almost overflowed the building on Saturday evening. A splendid pro- gram and hobby show in connection with the tea drew many rounds of favorable comment. The fact that the men of the Club could put on such a fine social event was stressed by Mayor Michael Starr when opening the tea and he hoped that the Club would con- tinue to make it an annual affair. The value of recreation in modern life was most important Mayor Starr said and he urged that the members continue in their campaign for the recreation building until the project was successfully realized. The Rev. J. K. Moffat offered a er of blessing. pray Service With Style While the men of the tea room, carefully attired in their best single or double breasted jackets each with a daffodil as boutonniere, prepared | pj to serve their guests with polished manners and attentiveness that would remind one of the best hotel rooms, the men of the kit- chen staff burst out for one public appearance. Lining up behind Piper George Bell, the kitchen FW yed a great variety of fe he and stepped out to the skirl of the bagpipes for a brisk march around the building. Chamber music in the best tradi- tion played by a string quartette was indeed the highlight of the af- ternoon musical program. Two vio- lins, a viola and a 'cello played by Messrs. Alex Dobbs, Charles Eder, John Dreniak and M. EKupnicki made up the quartette. While their were very favorably re- ceived the string quartette No. 4 by Beethoven was the most outstand- ing and Drink To Me Only With Thine Eyes was the most popular. Elburn Parr was the capable Master of Ceremonies for the af- ternoon program and other items included vocal selections by George Andrinovich and Albert Wedgery accompanied by Kelvin James, Lorne Seeley played a cornet solo and Alex Dobos contributed several very fine violin selections. The Pifty-Fifty Club quartette including Collingwood . Daniel, Bert Elcock, Robert Holden and Stanley Taylor were well received and sang several negro spirituals and old favorite numbers, It Can be You 4740 sizes 12-20: 40 Arua dims For the Prettiest Graduate, the loveliest wedding guest, the girl he loves to date!

SiABbina HIP PAINS feel ao inl wes being ih Barber Shop Quartette The School auditorium was taxed to capacity in the even- ing to hear the forty voice chorus of the Oshawa Chapter SP.EB.S.Q. S.A, sing the old songs in true bar- ber shop style and the crowd de- manded encores, The whole even- ing program was outstanding from start to finish, William Askew, a master of the euphonium, delighted the crowd with several selections; Matthew Gouldburn contributed piano solos; Alex Yonson, baritone, sang several excellent songs and Charles = Jollife contributed both wilty =ongs and monologues. Accompanied by John Dodds, ac- cordionist, Sam Burnside sang sev- eral songs in his own inimicable style. To climax the evening pro- gram the well known "Dulcetones" an outstanding barber shop quar- tette, won the audience with their close sweet harmony. Their out- standing numbers without doubt were "Duke" Ellington's Mood In- digo and "The Rose of Tralee" in which Pat McAdam's high tenor voice showed up to advantage. Other members of the group are Lance Pugh, lead; Douglas Shute, bari- tone and Bill Sampson, bass. Fred Britten was the jovial master of ceremonies for the evening enter tianment. Hobbies and Curios 'The Hobby Show arranged by Hugh Gilchrist was an outstanding attraction this year and while the exhibition was not large, the club members showed a great variety in handicraft work, art, collections and curios. Japanese stirling silver pieces displayed by Doris Schuer- mann, art work and hooked rugs by Lillian Pincombe; leatherworz and other articles by Mrs. Ted Hornick and Mrs. Kay Ross excited much interest. A headboard for a continental bed by Fred Douglass and woodwork by Alfred Higgs were much admired. The men and the boys particularly admired the model railroad display by Cyril Weyrich and Robert Holden, featuring loco- motives and cars built to exact rail- road blueprints to quarter inch scale, The outstanding locomotive displayed by Cyril Weyrich, mod- elled after a giant Northern type, was entirely made by hand with the exception of the drivers. The Rev, J. K. Moffat and Charles Chinn, president of the club, re celved the guests, while Lloyd Moody, the general convenor, had charge of the tea room. The floral arrangements by Frank Singer drew many favorable comments. The platform was banked with ferns, palms and spring flowers and among them several singing canaries in wicker cages. The tea table was covered with a beautiful lace cloth centred with daffodils and tulips. The tea hosts included Dr. R. Cox, Tom Wilson, Stewart Alger, George Ansley, Jim Hyslop, Stan Everson, Harold Gay, T. K. Creighton, Harry Smith, Everett Phillips and Frank Taylor. Mr. Lloyd Moody as general con- venor, expressed sincere apprecia- tion of the artists, press and radio whose co-operation, he said, had been most generous, While all club members worked smoothly and en- thusiastically, he especially thank- ed Leslie Gouldburn and Roy Clark who arranged the program; Mor- ton Petrie who arranged for the food and Norman Hoag who headed the kitchen committee.

'No one seams to use blue any more." Her attempt at humor was was weak. But it started us think- ing. Not so many years &g0 every- one used bluing to make clothes whiter. But with the introduction of new improved soaps together with improvements in washing ma- chines, the blue mother used to use began to disappear from the home laundry. But bluing has not completely disappeared from the washday pic- ture, After a series of tests at the Institute, we found that it is particularly effective in keeping silk and wool looking white. We found, too, that easily the best place to do your bluing is in a mod- ern washer. There are two methods of doing it. One way is to use a soapflake- bluing combination or a soapless cleaner containing bluing, An- other way is to add a few drops of liquid bluing to the final 'rinse water. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to determine how much to use. To avoid Streaking, mix the bluing and water thor- oughly before adding the clothes. You will be charmed at the new and' sparkling beauty bluing gives your white silks and woollens. * +P Now, just a word about starch- ing -- another laundry art that is being somewhat neglected. Starch- ing can do wonders for tablecloths, sheets, handkerchiefs, pillowcases and similar articles., Properly used it will impart a smooth finish, give more lasting shape to an article, give substance to limp fab- rics and make subsequent washing much easier since soil tends to lodge on the starch rather than on the fabric. For a full load of clothing (7-9 pounds), use 6 tablespoons of starch to 4 cupsful of water and make according to the manufactur- er's direction. Add the 4 cupsful of starch selution to the final rinse and run the washer for 3 or 4 min- utes. If, however, you wish to use your washer for additional leads, starching can be done in the final rinse. Remove water by putting clothes through a wringer or spin- ner basket, Next week: How to wash toys in a washing machine.

That's one million, two hun- dred thousand bee hours, so that little bit of honey represents a lot of work. But it's good -- good on things, and in things, and for things. It's sweet, sweeter than sugar. And it's more than sweet. It has a wonderful flavor all its own; | or rather, it has a whole variety of flavors, depending upon where the bees were busy. They may have worked among mountain sage, or chinkapin, or basswood, or alfalfa, or other blossoms of their choosing. In each case they will have produc- ed a honey of a little different flavor. Honey has been used to anoint kings, to discourage evil spirits, and in all manner of religious rites. We show it proper respect by using it as the good food it is, and here are a few ways.

OF INTEREST TO WOMEN -~ = WHAT SHOULD ( DO ABOUT:- Using Informal Stationery? By MRS CORNELIUS BEECKMAN Dear Mrs. Beeckman: I have read several times in your column your mention of some of the uses for Informals, the folded cards with the name on the first page, Do you also approve of using them to write thank-you notes on the inside pages, such as thank-you notes for shower presents (this is my friend's question), notes to thank for funeral flowers (this is my mother's question), bread-and- butter letters (this is my particular question), or notes thanking people for some special courtesy or favor, such as permission to give the name as a reference (this is my sister's question)? We all thank you for your advice! "we" What a smart (and compact!) way to set forth the various queries . . . I was intrigued! Yes, indeed I do approve of writing thank-you notes on the inside pages of In- formals . . . provided they are short thank-you notes that have the right to be short. But if writing a thank- you note in such a small space as is afforded by these pages gives the impression that we will write just s0 much and not a word more (to "fit" the cramped space), then I don't approve, For example, a shower present (your friend's ques- tion) may be thanked for by a somewhat short note, since it has already been thanked for in gen- eral. Also it is usually taken for granted that a thank-you note for funeral flowers or for notes or other messages of sympathy is a brief note, and properly written on an informal (your mother's ques- tion). Notes of appreciation for favors and courtesies are usually, But for bread-and-butter letters (your ques- tion) I'd say that this space is (and should be regarded as) inadequate. The giving of hospitality should be thanked for with a generous ex- pression of appreciation that shouldn't be "limited" . . . better use letter-paper or note-paper for these important letters. L 3 Should Dear Friends Or Not-So- Dear Relatives Be Invited? Dear Mrs. Beeckman: For several reasons we are plan- ning to be married in the study of our clergyman's house with only our parents present. Then after- ward, I would like to have our small, informal, reception in my house, thus keeping down the ex- pense. But this means that we can have only so many guests, and I wonder if I really. must invite some of the relatives whom I'm not par- ticularly fond of and whom I see only on such family occasions as weddings and poner A and leave out the same number of close friends whom I dearly love. What do you suggest? Grace H, G. 1 suggest that, after you have def- initely decided on the number of guests you can accommodate, you list first the relatives you know best and like best, and then add the names of your most intimate friends, you and your flance want most to have with you on your Great Day. + + » Maiden Name For Office Use . . . Formal Married Name For Social se Dear Mrs. Beeckman: I'm to be married in June, and I'm going to continue my position, Should I have the name-record changed in- the office to "Mrs, Mary Smith"? I know you don't approve of this form, but I wondered if it would be correct for business use. I have been told that no married woman in the office is supposed to use her husband's name; for ex- ample, Mrs. John Smith. What do you suggest? M. W. Wouldn't you like to keep your maiden name for use in your busi- ness world? So many business and professional women do this nowa- days, wisely and conveniently mak- ing a difference between the pro- fessional "Mary Wilson" and the social "Mrs. John Smith." How- ever, the form "Mrs, Mary Smith" is proper to use in the business or professional world . . . but it is so- cially taboo.
