New York -— Short lace dresses of shadowy patterns set off with velvet baby ribbon continue the feminine mood. One full skirted black lace has an_apron front out- lined with a finely pleated frill and a band of black velvet baby ribbon --a term that has almost vanished from the modern vocabulary.

‘ITHE WOMAN'S REALM!

STEAW BOWL!!- LAST YEAR'S DRESS WILL BE OHIO AT EASTER PARADE

Paris — Last year's dress or suit will do very well in the Easter parade, but it will need the moral support of a new straw bowler or boater hat, perched on the back of your head.

1f you can muster a long stole,

_you‘ll really be up to the minute.

A return to the classic suit was seen recently. when three top-flight designers unveiled their spring fashions. Molyneux, Jacques Helm and Raphael, the master suit-maker. showed suits with longish Jacket peplums that hugged the hips, even though waists semlined extremely well defined. ' But on dressier suits they follow other designers and play tricks with peplums. generally making them look hippy by drapery, intri- cate folds or jutting pockets. Brief box jackets over slim skirts are fav- orites.

The narrow skirt is popular, but full-skirted numbers are more nu- merous. Ali-around fullness, some- times bias cut with buckrarn under- skirts to make them stand out parachute fashion, is popular. Mannequins who show these styles have short bobbed hair, which seems to enhance youthful- ness.

HAT PREVIEWS STAR BOATEIIS

Paris — Variations of the boater and bowler with anything up to five brims on a single hat are be- ing shown today by two leading Paris mlliiners.

Simone Cangel and Maud Roser have brims on both types of hats that dwindle away in the back. Huge Breton sailor shapes in Baku of chip straw, toques often made entirely of plush flower petals land chiilon turbans are also popu- ar.

All shapes are worn to the side- back, clearly revealing the line of the face.

Navy blue and white seem to be the favourite colour combination but the colours include smoke greys, blues and greens; ioft tones of brown, harsh orange, deep luf- quolse and all burnt red shades. Showings in the Cangei collec- tion have three-inch-high crowns. The brims, sometimes in contrast- ing colours, are laid often one on top of the other with ribbon, flow- ers or feathers sandwiched be- tween.

CAVAG TEE TERRIBLE

At Big Woods, Prince Edward Island, there once lived a family by the name of Campbell: a widow and her only son, Hector. The Campbells owned a dog that hore the curious name of Cavag. This cur was of medium size, of non- descript color, with long pointed ears and a stubby tail that stood straight out from its body like a broomstick.

The dog was a favorite pet of the family, a model of perfection while it remained at home, but a wicked devil when off the premises, ai- ways racing about with nose sniff- ing for trouble.

The sight of a strange dog or cat stirred the fighting blood in Cavag's veins; and, without so much as a warning growl, it would attack its supposed enemy with the fury of a lion, often killing them on the spot.

In the days of which I write it was a common practice for families to take their dogs to church. and on one particular Sunday morning Hector Campbell and his mother were seated in their pew while Cavag the Terrible lay on the floor close to their feet.

The preacher had just announced his text when the solemnity of the sanctuary was disturbed by Csvag jumping another dog that slept some few feet farther up the aisle: The twelve other dogs in the rhurch rushed to the scene of battle. and the service was abruptly halted while grave, elderly men stumbled over seats, each holding a savage animal by the scruff of the neck. This same cur almost caused Hector to lose lovely Flora Mac- pherson, a lass he'd been courting for a long, long time. Flora own- ed a cat which she prized owing to its having been brought to her home, when a wee kitten, by her deceased sister.

During one of Hector’: weekly visits. Cavag made a spiteful at- tack on the feline. Flora resented this and bitter words followed, which resulted in parting the lov- ers for a considerable time. '

I I O

When Sir Donald Campbell be- came lieutenant-governor of Prince Edward Island in 1847. the rsfsi- dents ‘of Big Woods were in a happy frame of mind to see a Scotchman occupying ‘the exalted

position. But ‘to Hector and his mother it even meant more: hav- ing a clansman representing the

good ‘Queen was no small .,honor. and especially a man whom they hoped, some day, to converse with in the Gaelic tongue.

Early one morning in the month of June, Hector put on the clan lar- tan and set out to visit the home of the new governor, leaving the crestfalien Cavag behind. When

tlnatlon he chanced to glance back and there before his eyes was Caving-looking as innocent as a newborn lamb.

Hector, being entirely ignorant of doorbells, doubled up his first and rapped loudly. After what seemed an eternity, footsteps sounded with- in and suddenly the door was thrown wide by a son of Erin who, on seeing a man in the rough dress of a farmer. exclaimed in no gentle tones:

TREATING AND PREVENTING AILMENTS IN THE ELDERLY

‘Iihe-re are so many elderly men and women today that many large houses, once so hard to sell. now are being bought by registered nurses or practical nurses and es- tablished as "rest homes" for elder- ly people and invalids. Some of these larger rest hc-znes not only have a graduate nurse living on the premises. but also a physician calls once a day.

This speciality. geriatrics, is the natural result of the IODIf-llbnln‘ of the life span. As we grow older, we may not develop any qsecisl dis- ease ornisesses, hut there is nat- urally a gradual loss of strength, and so symptoms and also diseases often oome with age.

Ward Orsmpton, however, in "Live Long and Like It." a pamphlet published by the Hlsiic Affairs Committee. states flhlt. is oonoemed less wiih treating the ills of those al- resd-y old than with preventing, postponing and easing the aging woceeaes and guaranteeing s vig- orous oid age.

safer than they hsd been. we agreed‘ starting off along one confidently p to some choring this morning. The sun had tinted the. eastern .sky rosily then, and the breeze that was wandering lightly along our valley was soft, and. to James, doubtless tantalizing. It gaverise to thoughts of t ' . thawing brookiets, to bare fields, and to that nice day at Aiderlea when we can say. “Why, the pond's free of ice!" And at the same time. one of us will look back, rather regret- fui that the peace and serenity. the fragrant, cosy fires of Winter are gone, and the bustle and haste of a new season is. at‘ hand.

But James will be pleased. "But there are trying days in April and May as well as inFebruary, with cold showers and snowfiurries and biting winds. one will wonder if the first ro s have not made a mis- take in he timing of their return." I commented, when we talked of the weather today. “Yes. Ellen," James agreed, letting his eyes rest on the snow-clad hills, seeing there in his thoughts, perhaps a team moving steadily at the seeding, be- neath a sunny sky, "there will be disagreeable days then, we know- but—then Spring will have comel", U I O Yes, quietly and mostly serene we come through our Winter sea- son at Alderlea. though at this house. we sometimes subscribe -to symptoms of this or that lesser or more grievous bodily ailment. These fortunately are usually forgotten later in the affairs of our day. For example this morning. James awakening sighed deeply. and was afraid his "heart had nearly stop- ped". while mine too seemed strangely sympathetic. "Ah!" he murmured, slowly descending the stairs. and "dear me!" I sighed, slowly bringing up the rear. But at Alderlea there appears to be scant time for self pity, unless per- haps it might be on a Sunday but Sundays bring a balm of their own. which heals and calms. and encour- ages, so lovely‘ they are.
