George Purser is the last of the rush matting makers at Pavenham.

For three hundred years without a break his family gathered rushes fmm the River Ouse, plaited them, and made them into horse collars. baskets, chair seats. hassocks, and floor covering.

and seventy women.

"Now nobody wants rush mat- ting," Mr. Purser and. “A firm I used to work for used to make 2,000 horse collars a week. Now I doubt if they make 150 a year.

GROOM 0F '15 BREAKS CAMERA AT WEDDING

More than 1.000 people besieged a Plymouth church in the rain when, on her 80th birthday, Mrs. Anne Bicslna Blake was married to her neighbor, Mr. Robert George Popplestone, aged 75. a retired master mariner.

Mr. Popplestone resented the pncsence outside the church of photographers. whom he scattered-

When the doors were opened there was a rush and the build- ing was quickly packed. Some women stood on the seats of the pews.

The Vicar (the Rev. H. C. Mc- Making) asked the congregation t0 remember where they were. to cease talking. and not to stand on the seats, but his voice was hardly board above the chatter .

At the restaurant where the sbception was held Mr. Poppie- stone lefLhLs bride and approach- ed the man, whose camera was damaged during all altercation.

CAKES MATCH BRIDAL GOWNS FOR WEDDINGS

Those new pastel colors-already revolutionizing clothes and ahnw styles-are doing things to the baking industry.

Wedding guests who used to cut themselves a piece of snow-white cake now finds the confection more likely to resemble sliced rainbow". "It's the young folks," Joseph Lambeth. Chicago, explained at a convention of the Associated Bak- ers of America. "They want. some- thing new-and we have to give it in them."

The "newest" thing, according to lnmbeth, whom felcw bakers rate as the world's No lexpert in the field of pastry ornamentation, is cakes baked to match the color of the bridal gown.

“No womun should try to force her voice below its natural pitch. She may think this produce: an interesting result, but her listeners think only that she ls hoarse and that her vocal chords give ouf- raspingvgrating tones whenever she opens her mouth.

"On the other hand, good speech is entirely up to the individual. Even education is no guarantee of correct and pleasant diction. It is the personal duly of every wrson to learn how to pronounce words correctly and to realize that suc- cess often is more dependent upon the-personality, as revealed through pleasant voice quality and unaf- fected speech than ‘on many things often considered paramount.

BARBERS OF LONG AGO HAD "FUSSY" JOBS

Kenneth Macgilivcry writes to The Toronto Globe of a barber he interviewed, who had plied his trade for a quarter of a century. Barber McSayre destroys some ill- usion but his remarks will fill most wives with glee:

“McSayre celebrated his semi- centenary of barberlng in Toronto by turning back the clock to the faraway days in the 1880's, when he opened hi; first shop in the now defunct Eight i-lotcl on Church Street. '

The gentlemen who came in here‘ arrived in their carriages, fussed. and fumed at every clip of the scis- sors, glared and peered into two or three arrangements of mirrors to make sure they looked pretty from all angles, and then often came back in five minutes because I had left one or two hairs too long. A

“And the work you had to do over them was terrific, compared to the rapid clippcr-anli-comb job on the man today. Why. they wanted their hair trimmed just so and parted in their own way, and their oustaches waxed or curled and fluffed. and their beards trim- med to a T.

"And then hell tell you of your own contemporaries, in trousers, who fell asleep while the barber does his job, and hardly glance m, the results."

“Aye, but that's a teaser," said the fisherman. .

“Wellmio you know the Second Commandment?" asked the minis- ter. ' "You've got me again," replied the fisherman; "but can you tell me this-how many hooks are on my fishing line?"

The minister was unable to_ans- wer the question.

"Well, minister." said the fisher- man, "it's like, this: every man to his trade." '

A Tomntonian, motoring through Pennsylvania, stopped to chat with a. native in a small town.

OYSTERS WITH ALMONDS

Given a little imagination, any good cook should be able to do in- teresting things with a few oysters and mushrooms and her ordinary pantry staples. In this particular instance, we suggest both the oys- ters and mushrooms, with some al- monds to be chopped and toasted. to boot. Three major interests for a single dlsh~but worth them.

I pint oysters

i cup milk or diluted evaporated milk ,

1% tablespoons butter

2 tablespoons flour

i-L. teaspoon salt

Few grains cayenne

V. cup cooked diced mushrooms (optional)

at cup chopped toasted almonds

Hot tea biscuits or buttered toast

Drain oysters and remove hard portion; strain liquid. Combine oys- ter liquor and milk, add oysters and heat until the edges curl; remove oysters. Melt butter and blend in the combined flour and seasonings. Slowly stir the hot liquids into the butter and flour mixture. Stir and cook until the mixture has thick- ened smoothly and no raw flavor of starch remains. Add oysters, mush- rooms and almonds and serve at once between and over buttered hot biscuits, or on hot buttered toast. Garnish with parsley.

How few people realise the strain to which these two members of our bodies are putl When you coma to think of it. our feet are not so very much larger than our hands, and yct they have to support the entire weight of our bodies. which, to them, must be enormous.

You may think it rather exotic to varnish the toe-nails. I did -but now somehow, I feel that coat- ing of varnish does add attractive- ness to a pair of feet exposed tn view at the baths of the seaside or when the nails are seen shining through sheer silk stockings worn with the open-faced sandals which so many women are so fond of now. t

Suitably tinted toe-nails are, in l sense, a furnishing (or omament) of naked feet. A timid woman who would like. on holiday, to give her feet the benefit of the sea air and sunshine, but who shrinks from ex- posing them. would, after a pedi- cure and "paint up," gain suffici- ently iii confidence to bare them openly.
