Jo's JOURNAL BY JO ALDWINCKLE Women's Editor of The Times THE OSHAWA TIMES, Seturduy, Mey 15, 1965 43 'SOCIAL & PERSONAL Jo Aldwinckle, Women's Editor Telephone 723 - 3474 for Women's Department t a heart-warming sight it was last Friday night to a Honorary Colonel with the Colonel's Lady on his arm, step out to lead the Grand March at the Regi- mental Ball. Straight-backed in his red mess jacket, firm of tread and 93 years young, Colonel R. 8. McLaughlin won the ladies' hearts and was the toast of the evening. Everyone wanted to have a little chat with him and to hear him list his activities in one week would floor any junior executive. He mentioned banquets, testimonial din- ners, several board meetings, sometimes two a day, cover- ing national business between. New York and. Montreal. Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Pirie, Rossland road west, have re- Mr. and Mrs. Hendrik Akker- man, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Bil-| 4 sky, Mr. and Mrs. Steven Dy], 'My secretary makes all the arrangements," he said, - ] Z = , jturned from a prolonged holiday "and my nurse sees that I get to bed on time," and he took a handsome, slim gold watch from his pocket, and shook his head. Before he left the company he told me about his favorite car. The one he keeps in Bermuda is a Vauxhall station wagon, designed for him by Sir Charles Bartlett, former head of the Vauxhall division, and custom built with especially designed ease of entry and exit and ma- hogany 'panelling. Here's the surprise: Colonel McLaughlin has had it on the road for 12 years. in Hollywood Beach, Florida Following an automobile acci- dent, Mr. Pirie underwent heart surgery and the couple stayed on for his convalescence, He has made a complete recovery and was able to drive the entire journey home. During _ their. anxious moments, Mr. and Mrs. Pirie were comforted in the nearness of Mr. and Mrs. A. H. Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell Glecoff, Mr. and Mrs. Vince Tremblay and Mrs. Julia Monczewski, all of Oshawa, flew to San Juan, Puerto Rico last week to take part in an IGA conference and advance study of food market operations.

Evening Dress and Decorum There is ho doubt that the Regimental Ball ts the most formal social event in Oshawa and the return of the full- length evening gown compliments the occasion To many of the present generation, this is something quite new and takes some getting used to. A long gown, especially a slim one demands a ladylike walk; a certain technique in ascending and descending stairs and know-how in get- ting in and out of an automobile. It demands a gentle poise or else the whole charming picture is spoiled. Watch it ladies ... Step on the hem and you'll look as if you are doubled up with cramps.

It was an easy mistake because they were both unashamedly outspoken men. Lord Randolph vigor- ously opposed an Act of Parliament that would permit peeresses to sit in the House of Lords. When asked for the reason for his opposition, he said 'They would want to use the ger.tlemen's lavatories." Sir Winston could be just as terse and when he match- ed wits with George Bernard Shaw the atmosphere crackled. Shaw invited Sir Winston to the opening night of one of his plays with a note: "Am enclosing two tickets for opening night, one for you and one for a friend, if you have one." Sir Winston replied: "Thank you for the invita- tion. Sorry I cannot attend the first night but will come the second, if there is one'. Miss Margaret Ness, who gave an enlightening talk on fashion at the Lyceum Club luncheon this week, related a charming anecdote about Queen Victoria, who in her younger days vied in fashion with the Empress Eugenie whom she invited on a state visit Regality and protocol filled the Opera House for the command performance and all eyes were on the royal box. Eugenie was extravagantly gowned and jewelled while Victoria wore superb fabric without ostentation, Who was the real queen? According to an observer who left a diary, there was no doubt as to who was the queen born and bred. While Eugenie fluttered, Victoria sat down without glancing to see if the chair were there, so confi- dent was she of her footmen, Truly royal behaviour! Walker; treasurer, Mrs. N.
