New Jokes, Old Tunes Good Entertainment In Chocolate Soldier By JO ALDWINCKLE The Chocolate Soldier sent the girls of a generation ago into divine raptures. Last night at Melody Fair he "sent" them, which proves the old adage that "the more things are different, the more they remain as they are." The scarlet and gold for the working soldier has disappeared along with long-sleeved night- dresses, but a uniform still "rates" and although a "maiden's" heart may not "beat anymore, its strings have been known to go bing." By careful pruning of the book, which is based on G. B. Shaw's comedy "Arms and the Man" and the addition of a ripe plum here and there, Bertram Yarborough has produced a script that is readily acceptable to today's palate. Last night's audience entered into the spree with goodwill. They iaugh- ed with the performers at scenes that in grandmother's day would have been delightfully risque, and the lilting music of Oscar Strauss flowed sympathetically through the background. Marilyn Cotlow's rendition of the "My Hero" aria brought a well- merited encore, and the rest of the cast including Audrey Guard, Caro- lyn Adair, George Britton, Harold R. Brown and Stanley Carlson were in good voice. Stanley Carlson was also in ex- cellent humor, and as Kasimir Pop- off, Colonel of the Bulgarian Army, he stopped the show several times with his sultry asides, 'Massaloroff, Captain of the Bul- garian Army, with his. fierce whis- kers, heavy brows and staring eyes, played by Lewis Brooks, stepped right out of a fairy-tale, and his strutting and goose-stepping added to the effect of an animated illus- tration. The whole show was entertaining and last night's rain proved that the big blue tent is proof against any weather. PIOUS PRINCESS Ethelreda, daughter of a king of East Anglia, founded a monastery in 673 AD. on the present site of Festival Gathering = | Of Scottish Clans A festival year gathering of the Clan Donnachaidh on June 16 in- cluded clansmen from Canada, New | Zealand, Australia and Holland. Among the places visited during a tour of the Robertson country was the ancient clan burial ground at Dunalastair. The company of over 300 were entertained by Colonel D. Dundas Robertson. Earlier at the Clan Donnachaidh Society's an= nual general meeting in Edinburgh, Colonel J. G. Robertson, Agricul- ture Counsellor for Canada in Lon- don, was re-elected vice-chairman. Another clan rally attended by Canadians was held at Oban, the residence of Colonel Alexander Mac- Dougall and Dunellie, 20th heredi- tary chief of the Clan MacDougall. After the reception the clansmen from overseas, headed by pipers and the chief, marched to Dunnellie Castle, the . MacDougalls' ancient stronghold. The clansmen were shown the famous brooch of Lorn, which came info the possession' of the MacDougalls' in 1306 when they captured it from Bruce at the Bat- tle of Dalrigh, near Tyndrum, Perthshire. More than 5,000 members of Clan Fraser from all parts of the world took part in the rally arranged by Lord Lovat, chief of Clan Fraser, at his family seat at Beaufort Castle, Inverness-shire, recently. It was the first Clan Fraser gathering on such a scale for 200 years. Mr, Kenneth Fraser, a navigating officer with a Canadian air line, brought with him a Canadian red maple tree from a group of Scot- tish Canadians in Montreal. The great event of the day, however, was the march past of the clansmen led by the chief. To the music of pipes the clansmen paraded around the sports arena on the historic field of Downie, which has been the rallying ground of the clan for cen- turies. After the march-past, Lord Lovat addressing the rally, said it was in- spiring to have such a great gath- ering from all parts of the world. He did not know how many Frasers were at Beaufort that day, but af- ter the histeric "Battle of the Shirts"--the last battle of the clan --only three Frasers had returned to Beauly. According to history there had been 69 widows and they had produced 69 boys. It said much for the clan, declared Lord Lovat amid laughter, that there were so many Frasers in the world today. The Frasers were not a clan but a nation. The rally was rounded off with a Highland Ball at Beauly. «London, Ont.

Perhaps they won't walk on all fours, but it is not unlikely that they will start barking soon after acquiring that new winter coat. The smart thing is the "poodle look" for fall. Your new coat or suit should be as shaggy as Fido's if you want to be in on the ground floor of the new fashion trend. That's what New York designers say, previewing their fall collec- tions this week for the benefit of visiting fashion editors. Initial showings bear out their predictions. So bulky and shaggy are the new winter coats that often it's hard to find the wearer. '"'Poodle cloth," in a score of different textures and called by as many names, is the particular pet of the designers. They present it in greatcoats, jackets, suits and dresses, usually in neutral canine colors and in such realistic textures that in all logic each coat should be provided with a wagging tail, Some poodles are stiff, heavy fabrics of the general texture of doormats, and other are light as eiderdown, with a deep-pile, doggy surface... Garment manufacturers predict the poodle coats will make mink old-fashioned. Despite little basic silhouette change, fall clothés have a differ- ent look because of the new fabrics and textures, the baulky look of coats, the fuzzy look of suits and dresses, the new casual "winter- play" clothes introduced by design- ers such as Tina Leser and Claire McCardell, both of whom unveiled their fall lines during the first day of this week's showings. HOUSEHOLD HINTS To make a ruffle 'around a canopied bed top, measure around the complete canopy with a tape measure. Cut a seven-inch length of fabrie twice the canopy circum- ference, stitch a narrow seam on both edges. Shir evenly one inch from top and stitch shirring in place. Séw narrow tape on back, one inch from top, then stitch tape in place where ruffle is shirred. Baste by hand to top of canopy cover. ' Easy-to-Make Stole , Adds Sophistication To Basic Costume Stoles continue to be a leading fashion accessory. In New York, smarely dressed women are wearing them with sheath dresses to cover bare arms. At Canadian resorts they are being worn over every- thing from dance dresses to swim- suits. If you still have your holidays to look forward to, you will find that a stole will do wonders for last year's sun-dress, and will add zest to your new clothes. Or if you find yourself thinking about fall fashions while you idle in the hammock or doze on the beach, you. might con- sider making a few bright stoles in woollen plaid or jersey to wear over your first autumn suit. = , Because here is an attractive and most use- ful accessory which anyone can make quickly and inexpensively on her sewing machine. Most of the stoles being shown have fringe or other trimming and if you use your imagination you can make your own trimmings. Sewing centre experts will tell you how to make a fringed edge: Cut out your stole the desired length, then machine-stitch the fringed edge. Stitch with matching thread along marked line, pivoting on needle at corners. You can use your zigzagger for this purpose with decorative effect. Stitching with thread of contrasting color adds in- terest. Ravel out fabric parallel to edges from close to stitching all the way to edge. If the material you choose makes this type of fringe impractical, here are some other easy and inexpensive ideas: Gay rick-rack braid could be appliqued in criss-cross patterns all over the stole, or you might sew on a row of little pearl or Fhinesiong buttons along the two edges. Bal fringe, ribbon, lace ending and me- tallic thread could all be used to give a highly personal touch to your work. Want to buy, sell or trade? -- A classified ad and the deal is made. TIPS FOR TEENS:- Holiday Reading Nothing to do on long, lazy vaca- tion days? Vacation, you hope, will be wonderful, but at times it looks bleak, boring and endless ., . . Thats' what YOU think. Guess you've forgotten that right in your town or city there's a library pack- ed with excitement, adventure, ro- munce and travel. Books! New discoveries for you to. make. Perhaps you haven't given good books half a chance to show you how fascinating they can be . . . and how they can keep you so in- terested that time will fly\like mad. One 'teener, a high school girl, wrote to me recently, "My teacher said I'd do better in school if I read more books. But do you think I should? None of the kids I know ever read books." You just don't know what you're missing. Sometimes reading books for fun is quite different from reading them for classes, mainly because you can make the choice yourself. Choose the kind you think you'll like best and ask the librarian to suggest several good ones for you -- historical novels, stories of adventure, science, travel or the sea, etc. Give them a real try. If the first one doesn't. hold your interest, try another. You can read while you sun tan or baby sit, you know. You'll find it's fun to know what people are talking about when they refer to famous books . . . and it gives you something to tdlk about, too. There's mo expense involved, and you have lenty of time . . . s0 you have every hiny to gain and noth- ing to lose . . .
