Brooks) No little girl can begin to entertain too early. Being a charming hostcls may be born in some of as. but most people have to practice a bit before they entertain gracefully, Mothers should start the social training of their girls by letting them invite their friends in. often for tea or light refreshments on the lawn during the. long summer afternoons. It‘ is important that these affairs be kept informal. Children may so easily become constrained if there are too many elders around or if everything is too party-fish. They should learn to look on parties as a time when'they can be naturally gay with congenial peeple, rather than as stiff. ceremonial occa- it will be fun for her to do her own planning, with a little help on the serving. Nothing elaborate should ever be attempted, for that will take the pleasure out of it for the young hostess.

OUSTED FROM CONVENT. G IVE SALUTE OP IDYAL'I‘Y TO GOVERNLIENT AT LOWEST RATES (Established 1912 ) Like the movies at the Palace recent- ly in which a train appeared to rush out of the screen. so do the films of Olympic games appear. Two lenses look at the race while it is being run. When the films are combined and special spectacles worn, the left eye sees what the left camera took while the right eye see what the right. camera took, to give that illusion of third dimension on the screen. Thus there can be no mistake about seeing the race exactly as it occurred. And speaking of high-speed photo- graphy, the New York Times recently reproduced a photo taken with an ex- pcsure of one-one hundred thousandth of a second! It showed humming birds clustered around a dish of hon-5y. Their wings, beating at the rate of 60 times every second, appsared mo- tionless! It was the first time anyone ews'r "saw',’ how a humming bird’s wings actually are while it was hover- mg.

There could be no kick when a run- ner himself could see that inch or so behind an opponent he probably be- lieved he had beaten.

But modern inventive genius has solved that difficulty too. There is now no such thing as a dead heat.

Garnish with By Shakqs One thing they never did find out agent the original Olympic games was how they decided who won the races. There must have been close. races in those days of sport just as there are at modern Olympics. Probably they just ran‘ another heat to break what appeared to be tied races. First used in the United States, the camera idea has been much improved by the Germans. until it reached a point at this year‘s Olympic games never attained before. At Berlin, it was possible to see a race on the screen just five minutes after the finish. Slow motion makes the racers glide along. A fraction of an inch between runners can be seen clearly for the German cameras are really artificial eyes. a thin suce of orange and a fresh Maraschino cherry. Serves 12. Olympic Finishes Decided by Camera SERVICE 21 PINE STREET NORTH SThe Canadian Legion In the Porcupine I”.:.‘::""‘TI‘":‘:.“::::‘ 1 The popularity, of this column has been fully proven during the past few weeks. Your correspondent has been beeeiged with post cards and letters from those on the Pilgrimage and I am giving interesting pieces from each for the benefit of my readers. Among these from whom communications were received werezâ€"Comrades S. Tilley, Jack Farrar,- Fr. O'Gorman, Comrade Dcwse and another old friend of mine, (wishing I‘was with him at Vimy. again). The members at the club and myself take this means of expressing our thanks for these little reminders of France. One of the best received was from our old friend Comrade lbwse' The letter is more or less of a diary. and gives information which several have asked about. We had a great reception passing Quebec saluting 1 gun‘s "from'rhe' “old fort and firewOrks and the Falls of Mont- morency illuminated. Also. a steamer with a. band on.=board came alongside and played us the old Legion songs. ’I he Legion served out berets and about Monday they began their call over and the supply of detailed infor- mation from each party leader. A small badge to both men and women was handed out and a card divided into sec- tions, each representing a night‘s lodg- ing, a meal. a bus drive. etc. Our train from Timmins,.etc.. was nearly tW') hours ‘late at Montreal. In fact. we drew in at the time the ship was due to sail. The two C.P.R. ships pulled out first and the “Antonia” just in front of us and we kept her in sight all across the Atlantic. 'I’rhe e were 1035 passengers on board the Ascania according to the printed list. but I think there were more on boardthan this. The Cunard treated us very well and we had practically the run of the ship, only a small portion being reserved for the cabin passengers. The last, day the ship slowed down somewhat and did not enter Havre until the early morning of J:ly 25th.

Here is the diary of “My Trip to Vlmy”:â€"- “Cook’s " representatives 4 were on board and they were surely .busy men. We were warned about the correct length of our medal ribbons and the ladies on board were in great request to make the necessary alterations. The sea was wonderfully quiet and only one day a little spray wetted our decks forward and aft. However. they waited for us and I do not think anybody missed the boat. a.

TWO TRUCKS FOR UNUSUAL JOB mmmflmmtm of the train journey occurred at Arras where we drew up. and while waiting, the Antwerp crowd drew up on the same platform; the huge crowd of Canadians mingled with’ much hand- shaking, etc. There were 32 motor omnibuses wait- ing for us at Lille and we divided into two parties. one taking the Battlefields drive and the other the war billeting areas. The writer was in the first party and we went direct to Ypres, entering through the Lille gate which is just as The city is completely \.rebuilt and there is not any impression of excessive newness, partly because some 17 years have elapsed and also because no doubt many of the old bricks were used again. The coinage is somewhat of a com- plicated problem. You get. about 74 francs for five dollars in French money but the Belgium franc is worth little more than half of the French franc. so magi. in Ypr-ss I was "charged three fra'~és tor a cup of tea. After luncheon in Ypres we drove out. through the wonderful Menin gate and past the old walls which look just the same'and along the Menin road. When one sees the beautiful culti- vated fields and trim buildings it is hard to realize the utter haves and desola- tion of this region as we remembered it in 1917-1918. ' We stopped at one Or two of the cemeteries, models of perfect taste and_..beauty. .Mfily one thinks of Pericles words: Jimmy one thinks of Pericles words: . “in the sight. otthe unwise they seem to perish and their going from among us to be utter destruction but they are at peace.” A beautiful View is obtained from Hill 62. Leaving Ypres again late in the after- ncm we took in Vlamertiughe. Poper- inghe, etc., and then made for Douai where we were billetted. Our chauffeur who was from Paris did not know the way so that we arrived at Douai about 10.45 pm. we saxwv it. but it is a pity they allow the historic walls to be defaced by election posters. The writer was at the Ecole des Mines where supper awaited us including a gift from the Mines a bottle of cham- pagne among four. The long dormitory reminded one of schoolboy days and the washing accommodation was some- what primitive. A sort of long sink in the middle of the room where if you were lucky you got a little trickle from some of the taps. 'But everybody, if tired, was‘full of contentment and the voice of the grouchcr was little heard among us. We were away tor Vimy soon after 8 am. on the 26th and provided with lunchmn boxes.

The monument ac- tually unveiled ‘by King Edward is a 'giant female figure carved of one block of stone which must weigh tons. ' Both read their speeches. the King beginning with a short speech in French. The president spoke in French. but the writer is not a sufficiently good F1e11ch scholar to follow him. . One machine, understood to by photo- graphing hovered around a little too much and people in London complained that is somewhat interfered with their reception of the speeches. .

In the afternoon we attended the gar- den party passing through )the 'ground floor of the Palace past some beautif J1 pictures and statuary afid so into the grounds. ‘ The Duke and Dichess of Gloucester arrived a little before 4 pm. The Duke who looks well and quite youthful was loudly applauded. ' A military band was playing and many of us settled down to listen and then the King who was not expected arrived and was loudly cheered. A“ long marquee where refreshments were served ran all down one side of the grounds and was well patronizezd. The King went into an enclosed mar- quee facing the back of the Palace. and then alas it began to rain, poured in fact. When it let up a little the King went back to the Palace and made a little speech from one of the windows. Everywhere we were treated with the greatest courtesy and friendliness and I am sure none of us regret our p11- grimage. Owing to the space -taken this week several other items have been omitted. These are not urgent. and will appear in due course. â€"â€"One Vimyite Returned. The above I am sure will be clipped by many.
