Those Shlnylleads

In these days of shiny, glisten- ing heads from pomade, it is wise to protect the wall paper over the top oi the box couch or day bed by placing tapestry or print over this place. They can be cleaned much more readily than greasy wall paper.

WINTER- CODIFORT‘

It is the small thing in the home which make all iihe differ- ence in the world between comfort

. and discomfort. It does not cost a great deal to have these. small comforts, for it is very_ often merely a question of thoughtful- ness on the part of the housewife.

Let us examine the living room, for instance. With perhaps a little alteration in the arrangement of say, the settee and s, chair or two, how much more cosy it would be for the winter time. Then again are the curtains draught-proof?- an important point this. If not. perhaps you could run to a pair of

is a wise plan to keep one or two spare washers at hand in case they get leaky, for there is nothing more annoying than a leaky hot water bottle on a cold night.

Plenty of hot water is also an- other strong factor in the design for comfortable living in the winter, and there are manvmeans these days of ensuring this, storage heaters, geysers, instan- taneous heaters. coke heaters and others, provide us with a wide choice in this direction.

BAD POSTURE

The woman who slumps forward or, worse yet, forces her should backward until she has an ex- aggerated hollow-in the middle of her spinal column simply can't be truly beautiful. Shiny hair, clear skin and sparkling eyes are impor- tant, of course, but never for a minute lose sight of the fact that your posture has a great deal to do with the impression you make on others.

You should practice posture ex- ercises to correct round shoulders, protruding stomach, often caused by a hollow in the back, and a. sagging chin. Lie flat on the floor with knees drawn up and weight of the legs on balls of the feet. Lift the tip of your spinal column upward from the floor, meanwhile making the rest of the backbone fit snuslv asainst the hard sur- face. Keep shoulders and neck perfectly flat. Breathe deeply. drawing stomach in and up. This, of course, helps you to get your backbone flat.

When you stand, you should maintain the position you were in on the floor. Stomach. should be drawn in, shoulders square, and the spine tilted forward so hips do not stick out.

Whenever you walk. stand, dance or sit, imagine that the top of your head is being pulled straight upward by a heavy cord suspended from the ceiling. Make believe. that the cord lifts not only your head but your entire body.

When you sit in a chair, see that the centre of your back and the lower end of your spine are flat against the chair. Don't press shoulders against it. Incidentally. legs look much more graceful when crossed above-not below- the knee.

A tailored suit of lame or velvet can‘ be worn for most occasio between 5 o'clock and midnight.

CRITICAL 0F LITTLE EXPENDED 0N ART

SHEFFIELD-The time when television would possibly do away with the necessity to visit art galleries to see pictures was de- preceated by Lord Riverdale when he opened the annual exhibition of the Sheffield Society of Artists at the Graves Art Gallery, Shef- field, recently.

That would be a. sad day, indeed, he said, because one of the greatest pleasures of visiting the different

‘art galleries was in comparing the

different types and methods of painting shown there. If the in-

vention of machinery and application of machinery to production was going to give

more time for recreation, it was most important to develop those outside occupations among which art stood. high. Art was closely al- lied to industry, and there was room for much more oi’ it in in- dustry, in public life, and parti- cularly in education. A great deal

could be done in educating people

in what things were beautiful. He strongly ritlcized badly illustrated magazines and papers which he had seen children reading from time to time, saying that a child's mentality could be. influenced by

showing it bad designs and mesa»

zines. .

He spoke of how little was being.

spent on art by the Sheffield Cor- poration compared with Manches- ter. Birmingham, and Liverpool and suggested that this must be due to a want of conviction that good art paid and was of rich edu- cational value. -

Stefan zwelrs "Mar! Queen of Scotland and the Isles.” As a bio- grapher, author of short stories. novels, travel boob, dramas, poems. as translator and critic of literat- ure and art, Stefan Zweig is one of the most famous and most widely read of European writers. ‘translations of some of his books have been made into twenty-two languages. i

He was born in Vienna in i881. but since the war he settled in Salzburg with the serious intention of carrvlnaout a conscious literary program and he has been instru- mental in spreading the outstand- ing works of foreign authors as well as in advancing the literature of his own country. He lives in an ai- rnost inaccessible hill-side house. on Salzburgs Kapualnerberg, yet he is in no way a recluse. He reads, writes and travels extensiveur. His collection of manuscripts both mus- ical and literary is famous, and many o1 them are from the pens of writers whom he had encourag- ed long before the world acclaimed them.

He has just completed a libretto for Richard Strauss, and for its theme he turned to Ben Jonson. "Mary, Queen of Scotland and the Isles’ is his latest biography.

After that brief glimpse of Stefan Zweig's life it is ‘ necessary to say that the biography of Mary of Scotland has been written with authority, un tending and a keen sense of the ’ tic.

This is by no means a review, "Mary Queen of Scotland and the Isles" is too lengthy a book to be more than touched on in these book notes, but, in three excellent reviews that have appeared recent- ly, two of them do not altogether agree with Zweig’s decided conclus- ions concerning the Casket Letters. He thinks them genuine and his arguments are certainly convincing. He paves the way for all of his prob! in a manner that brinas the reader to his point of view be- fore he even presents them-one good reason for reading a hook which puts forth the opposite sup- position, and 1 think there has been published dately a book about Mary Stuart, by Andrew Bakers, "blob does contain evidence again. the Casket Letters. Itwould be inter- estlng to read it also, because when one reads Zweig, one believes Zwelg.

Stefan Zwelg is also convinced that in "MacBeth" Shakes

Mary Stuart-"When in Holinshedb ‘Chronicles’ the dramatist came to read the stcry of the ‘Ihnue of Cawdor who slew Duncan and us- urped the crown of Scotland. ma! we not suppose that hc interwove his memories of the tmgical fate of Mary into the substance of his drama? . . . This much. however, is certain, that only those who have studied and understood the psychology of Lady MacIBeth after the murder of Duncan will be able fully to understand the moods and the actions of Mary Stuart during those dark days at Holyrood . . . The most amazing part of the re- semblance between the two traged- ies, that conceived by the play- wright and that recorded by bis- torlans, is the resemblance in the changes which took place in Mary Stuart and in Lady MacBeth after theorimehadbeencommitted. . ." _an interesting conjecture and a ‘vs: presenttai , to say the

least

Finely Zweig rzccomplishes the remarkable feat o: making us be- lieve in Mary's guilt, yet retain our admiration and pit-y for her to the end.
