Dressmakers In Paris Honor Patron Saint

(By Gerald Long)

PARIS, Nov. 25-(Reuters) - Hundreds of "midlnettes", the sesmstresses who work in fam- ous fashion houses here. went on anspree today. The result was fantastic fashions which made blase Psrlslsns blink. '

The girls strolled the boule- vards in hats,- dresses and coif- lure: of their own design to cele- brate the festlvel of their patron saint, St. Catherine.

One "Catherlnette" mldinette. 25 and unmarried, stole the show with her hat-an apple in a wire cage, surmounted by a heart and

the legend "The Forbidden fruit." Another 'glr1 drew leers from

onlookers with a get-up of play- ing 'csrd emblems-hearts, dis- monds, ciubs and spades-em- broidered with the question: ”Would you like to play with me?"

A chill wind out the fashion pardde short. And the rnadly-cos- turned "midlnettes" hurried back to gaily decorated workshops to attend special parties.

The 25 "Catherlnettes" who work for designer Christian Dior decked themselves out in .1900 period costumes and drove in horse-drawn carriages to a plush restaurant for a St. Catherine's Day lunch. The 12 at Jacques Fath's salon frolicked in a min- iature fair-ground set up in their work-shop.

According to legend. Saint Catherine was a young Christian maiden who lived in the third century. She annoyed a Byzantine emperor by making fools of his court philosophers and he had her beheaded.

The legend was brought back to France by the Crusaders. First

the, theological faculty of the University of Paris made St. Catherine their patron saint be-

cause of her reported learning. Then young girls looking for a

husband adopted her.1These spin-

the Audubon Society of Canada.

Deriving its name from the wide sweep of the Rio Grande River, this spectcular wilderness in crowned by the jagged tops of the Ghost Mountains which tower like rough skyscrapers above the flat desert floor. Ranging from mountain tops to the gigantic canyons of the Rio Grande, Mr. Cruickshank took his audience to explore the spectacular wild life of the region that is'stlll the Wild Wild West.

Pontrayed in beautiful natural

colors. the audience had the thrill- ing experience of accompanying Mr. Crulckshank lg pictures as he explored the country in search of rare birds, and animals, stop- ping to catch the glory of the springtime carpets of flowers in the desert. . A trip is msde'to a cave of two million bats, which start into the open at dusk and con- tinue in a steady stream for four hours.,,These birds are protected and counted a blessing as they forage all night long and keep down the myrlads, of insects which would otherwise make life lmpossible, in the inhabited areas of this wild country.

The Speaker was introduced by Miss Mary Robin, B.Sc., Home Economics Supervisor, Provincial Department of Agriculture.

The judgment notes that a scheme for the marketing of potatoes under the Agricultural Products Market- ing Act was set up by order-in- Council dated 5th Sept. 1950, under which a Marketing Board was ee- ts-bllshed and certain powers grant- ed to it.
