The chief interest in the Opening of Parliament in the eyes and minds of the fair sex was the pres- ence for the first time in many years of a wife of a Prime Minister taking her place on the floor of the Senate Chamber. Mrs. L. S. St. Laurent made her first public ap- pearance at the most important so- cial function of the year. Dressed in dove blue crepe. nnd wearing a black hat trimmed with blue ostrich feathers. and those among the large number of guests present, who have read and heard of her quiet charm and lack of ostenta- ttlon, were pleased with this much talked-of lady in person. Viscount- ess Alexander, wife of the Governor- General, wore a graceful floor- length gown of royal blue crepe. Her hat was in matching velvet and her jewelry, a pearl necklace and diamond ornaments. Another one of the wives of officials making her first appearance at an Opening of Parliament was Mrs. George Drew, wife of the Progressive Conserva- tive Leader in the l-louse of Com- Zmons. Mrs. Drew, well known for ‘her own vivid personality, as well as the fame of her popular husband and distinguished father, of the Metropolitan Opera House, was the object of much curiosity. The Opening of Parliamenfafforded a delightful opportunity for many of tthe wives of Parliamentarians to see Mrs. Drew for the first time.

Ellen ’s Diary

By an Island Farmer's Wife

"Ellen wants to wish on it." James laughed to Jeanie this evo- ning when we had inquired if she had seen any sight of the new moon on her way from the house across the lane. She had come then, close on the heels of grand-daughter's re- tiring to pick up the papers for a quiet hour. and she smiled when he added: “I'm afraid it would be a pretty simple wish"’ . . . Gentled by a wind from the South, scented perhaps with the aroma of ripening fruits, and certainly with lovely wazaleas, though later losing those to the tang of the seas and wide ‘spaces of fields and woodlands, the old-fashioned Winter-storm, we had looked out upon in last evening's dusk had presently changed to showers.

Sponging On Widows

Hordes Of Menliye Money Left By Insurance

DEAR DORO’ ‘HY DIX:

I am an unencumbered widow in early myself somewhat cnamoured of a non-professional

man who is some yours younger than I am. Recently he made the fol-

“You are

I want you because I wilted at

my \\'Ol'flfll1.

this remark and am still wiltering because a psychologist had just given

me the following advice:

"\Vhciie-.'er n younger man falls in love with an older woman, it

is not nicrcly love for her.

The lov

is for whatever she con bring

him in the way of advancement in bus ness, or money, or prestige. Such

not get too involved

men do not like responsibility and in the end will al- ways gain more than the wife does.

You had better with this man. He will gain in a

professional way through your contacts." \‘i'hat is your opinion of this‘!

ANSWER: \Vonder no more, Fair Lady, for it'is a commonplace of life. orn too tired to work and who live by sponglng on wo-

Everywhere there are hordes of

men. Especially are widows their predestined prey, and it must make many a man, who has worked himself to death to leave his wife a com- petence, turn over in his grave if he knows the way that some slick dend-

beat is cheating her out of it.

"FOOL AN D

There is nothing truer than the old laying that a fool

Mortar: and his

money are soon parted, and that goes double when the fool is a wo-

man. Most womcn never have had

the handling of any money bigger

than the grocery bill, and when they come into husbands’ insurance money they go hog wild. A few thousand dollars look like a billion to them and there is no extravagance they won't indulge in, no scheme so

wild that they will not back it.

The insurance companies say that they

give the average widow from ten to fifteen years to run through her

husband's estate.

All of us have seen this happen a thousand times. Slick talkers who sell credulous women Blue Sky. Uncles and aunts and cousins who des~ cend upon the widow like wolves on the fold and devour her inheritance.

.__._.‘ . Modern Etiquette

By Roberta I4! Mo}

Q. when a young man takesa girl out to dinner, and she knows he doesn't earn too much money. should she be very modest in what she orders?

A. Yes, but. she needn't overdo it. The man would not have invited her if he didn't have the money, and if she "held beck" in her or- dering, he might have cause to re- sent it.

Q. Should dinner guests arrive exactly on the hour. or dve or too minutes before the appointed time?

A. It is more considerate to er- rive five or ten minutes early.

Q. Isn't s loose bouquet more appropriate for a funeral than s formal set piece?

l7 Udell loo THE WRONG PAT

Until recent t es it was not an uncommon sigh to see men drunk at wakes and funerals. Any old- timer wiil, I am sure, bear me out in this statement. Indeed, there may be some living today who can_ recall-the time they almost buried Pat Foley instead of their deceased neighbor, Pat Flynn.

The second Pat, Pat Flynn, was a woman-hater, a bachelor and a lover of whiskey. In the cellar of his humble home he usually kept on tap a keg of liquor as well as a barrel or two of the best alc that money could buy. When folk told him he drank too much. Flynn would always come back with. "Oh, well, I don't waste any money on clothes or travel, and anyway tho stuff makes the whole darn world look so good, that i just want to keep right on drinking as long ns I live." ’ '
