Queen Elizabcili sets no "fash- ion" in theciothcs she chooses for three-year-old Prince Charles. but the suits and mats he wears are inevitably copied for other well- to-do British youngsters.

The infant prince's clothes are obviously selected with care and imagination. Made on the simplest lines. with no fussy details to hamper an active boy's movements. his clothes are carefully taiiorcd mostly from materials that will wash or clean easily.

The type of suit in which Char- les is most often seen is a blouse or shirt tucked into short knick- crs, the one buttoned to the oth- or. The coats usually have a shoulder yoke at tiic back with fullness below it expressed in neat box pleats. and a straight front buttoned up to a round collar.

The materials include firm wool-

lens or light flanncis for the . knickers. and fine wool. silk or vouch for the shirts. One par-

1icular fabric which is enjoying a vague now is half pure merino wool and half fine cotton.

Checks are among thb most popular patterns selected for boys or girls' shirts or blouses in this material, made. with a small neat collar and either long or short sleeves. They can be washed out in a few minutes and ironed without trouble.

The same simple principles ap- ply to dresses for little girls. Frills and larr.-s are rarely used axxccpi. on really important occas- ions. and even then with re- straint.

This is the time of year the sap is running in the maple trees and we are eagerly looking for- ward to the first maple syrup for our pancakes. waffles and hot biscuits. I thought this note about maple products might be interesting.

The Dominion Government for- bids the adulteration of any maple product, and has set up grades for maple syrup as follows: Canada Fancy-Very light sm- ber. delicate flavour. Light-Light mild flavour.

Canada Medium-Dark amber, stronger flavour.

these grades, first. and fourth? C.A.C. is trying to effect this.

However. producers do not have to use these grades. It is not necessary to grade maple syrup, that is synip produced in one Province and sold in another. The Province of Quebec is the one exception and it psOdUCE5 8066 of our maple syrup. This Province has taken the lead in enforcing the grading of syrup and has set up grades similar to those of the Dominion Govern- ment. with the addition of the letters A.A., A.B.C. (Canada Fan- cy A.A.: Canada Light A. etc). A great deal of the syrup pro- duced in Quebec is exported. es- pecially to the United States. and part of our domestic supply comes from the other Eastern Provinces and Ontario. In Ontario. which produces 18'? of the total supply of syrup. there are no regulations at all for grading. At present the Ontario C.A.C. is working to have this rectified and asks all consumers in other Provinces to demand the grading of all their supplies of syrup.

If you look at these round bot- ties we see on our grocery shelves you will find they are marked Canada Medium-which is the third grade. It might be interesting to know if we ever get the Canada Fancy here. and what the difference in price would be. Start now to be a more careful shopper.
