"Perhaps." we offered brightly. "it was some gi':iricif.'ttlier oiil heard - one not

1Artist Brings
New Life To Batik
TORONTO (CP)-The Balinese might be surprised to see what a
young Canadian artist is doing with their ancient art of batik work. It's a long way from the
crude specimens of the batik craze on this continent 20 years ago. Gustav Weisman is putting the modern touch to Bali's national art and is painting abstracts and senii-abstracts with the age-old
ivelliatik iiiaterials-dye, wax and un-, depeiidable . . . bleached cotton.
1 Weisniari will demonstrate pil- batik in the Canadian l-Iandicraftsl,
his
Guild booth at this years Canad- ian National Exhibition. Handi-
nricraft experts are enthused over his
heautifiil work in this almost for- gotten field. Weismrin began
working in
bank while in Mexico on a grad--
.uatr- art scholrirship, following:
at" the last ofpsiudies at. the Ontario College oft '.nmor- Art. He met an American workiiigl
Iin Batik. hut in the conventional
ldesigns-knights on dashing charg-lpretty wedding in the Presbyler-,
ers and similar heraldic motifs. He became interested in the form. but as a modern artist. pro- duced a modern desigii. This call- led for bright color and he began
Hid lUllz- experimenting with dyes. the pos-y as WWII-F11 N11 81 Darhtslbility of using more colors and; fgenerally enlarging on batik tech-.
niques.
t He works on the basis of the lPBnlurlFS-Old hatik technique. iblricking out parts of the design with melted wax and dipping the fabric in dye. However, Weisman ,some-times dips the material as trange .of colors, shades, dots and lstreaks.
; He paints on batik just as .,ai-tist using oils or water colors, with no preconceived plan as to lhow the picture should look when lit is finished. . i ”Sometiines wonderful unan- iticipated things happen." he said. t”The wax cracks and unplanned- ifor dyes creep in. giving a beauti- iful texture to the painting."

Shoes for children should be an exact fit. not too large so that the child will grow into them. Children loften niiterow. rather than out- wear. their shoes.
In tilting the shoes. the following points should be followed:
1. F..ve.lE-ts should be parallel.
2. The tip of the big toe and second toe should be felt through the upper the distance between the toes and the tip of the shoe should be one-half to three-qtlarters inch ,rabout the width of the adults thumb.i
3. The widest part of the child's foot--widest, part of bone forming big toe to widest part of the little toe-should be the widest part of the shoe. The ball of the foot and the hall of the shoe should meet at the same point so that the foot and the shoe may bend at the same place.
4. The width across the ball of the foot should be noted. It should be possible to grasp a small fold of leather across the front of the

NELL A DIFFICULT TASK
ANSWER: If you marry a man you don't. love,l marriage will demand a great deal more sacrifice from you than it would if you loved your hus- band. The reason for this is that what we do for those we love seldom is in the nature of n. sacri- fice. but it is much more difficult to exert effort for people we don't love-no matter how much we respect them. For instance. if you married this man you would evident-ly share a home with your mother- ln-law. For a. husband you love. it would be a. plea.- sure to go out of your way to create a. happy atmos- phere under such circumstances; but could you do it for a man who had no claim on your deeper emotions? . g Marriage for companionship is. by no means doomed to failure; Care of Books in fact. the record of success isyquite good. You must be fully aware. h0W9Ver- Wilt WN19 YOU are receiving a full measure of love from your man, you have none to offer in return. and the balance can onhy be kept by'great devotion from you. You also must face the possibility thaticase will save eventually-your husband may tire of his one-sided love. If you can tageimold. up to difficulties and conquer them. I'd say go ahead, If you find it difficult to face challenges. better wait.
