Quiet days at Glamis and Birk- hali after a. strenuous summer of public engagements will give the Duke and Duchess of York oppor- tunity to complete the set of chair seats in gros point embroidery upon which they have been engaged for nearly a year. Destined for the dining room at Royal Lodge, which has stripped panelling. these chair seats are a symphony in several shades of blue, grey and white, Special designs of the Rose of York and the Scottish thistle were made under the direction of Lady Smith- Dorrien in the salons of the Royal School of Needlework to be incor- porated in the general pattern. Each chair seat is signed by the Duke or Duchess and the date added in embroidery. Four new chair seats have been taken up to Scotland to complete the series.

Toy Closets

A closet for ‘..iys will prove a great aid in keeping a house neat. Frequently, even though the child may have been trained to pick up his toys from the centre of the floor, there is still no place to put them that will give the house a. straightened-up look. A closet in the nursery or in a hall will solve the problem. It is excellent train- ing for children if they are taught a place for everything and every- thing ‘in its place.

Window Cleaning.

Vinegar and water make windows or glass clean. The vinegar cuts the grease and saves the windows from the powdercy after effects of too much soap .This mixture also helps to get off the dust and the dust that has been topped with a splashing rain. Use about one- third of a cup of vinegar to two quarts of water.

But if you want your windows or mirrors to shine brilliantly there is nothing like putting a little

bluing in the water. O O O

"No." replied Senator Sorghum. “I Just put ‘am in to make the rest of my remarks seem more interest- ing by contrast."

ALL VERY SIMPLE

Probably by this time most of us have read “Good-Bye. Mr- China". the long short-story that brought faino- and recognition to James Hilton. '.l‘o those who have not yet read itr-it is indescribable and un- classifiable, and it should not be missed.

On its publication in June 1934 it occasioned many comments — all favourable. To quote a few ex- pressive fragments from some de- pendable opinions of "Good-BYE- Mr. Chips"-". . . the charm of it harks back to Thackeray. and even

_older writers, almost Chaucer. It

is classic . .", "It is charming and tender and ‘iumourous, and tecluiically a miracle of emphasis and suppression". " _ . . one of those rare and living pieces of writ- ing which require no precedent and are certain to have no successful imitators . . . ", " . . . Dickens would have loved Mr. Chips . . . ".

After just reading three of Mr. Hilton's older books I have come to the conclusion that none of his books should be missed. While they may not come up to the very high standard of "Good-Bye. Mr. Chips." they have something worth while and a little bit out of the ordinary. Mr. Hilton has the faculty of sug- gestlng to the reader two sides of the question and leaving the prob- lem unanswered with the reader thinking hard.

His "Lost Horizon", first publish- ed in 1953 and again in October 1934 as the Hawthornden Prize edi- tion. is-the only word to describe lt-sn "intriguing" book. It is, very apparently, conceived by a learned and imaginative mind, keenly alive to both beauty and adventure. The story is exciting and yet it leaves the reader very thoughtful. and a trifle uneasy. It begins with a kid- napping by aeroplane and takes place, for the most part. in a prac- tically undiscovered region in the mountains of Tibet.

His next best book, of those I have read. is "Knight Without Armour". a story of Russia and Si- beria, of an Englishman who was forced by circumstances to change his identity many times and to undergo the hardships of exile to the very edge of the Arctic circle. and many other exciting adven- tures. Mr- Hilton shows himself a thorough psychologist in the con- sistency of the delineation of his characters.

“And Now Good-Bye" is the least adventurous of the three and yet it is typically Hilton with its touches of pathos which in no way make his characters appear pathetic or falsely sentimental. It is the story of an overworked Nonconformist parsoii. of one of the dingy factory-

' towns of England, who. for twelve

hours realizes the fulfilment of his dreams and search of beauty.

“Was It Murder?" and "Ill Wind" published in England as “Con- tango‘ are two more of James l-Iil- tons older books.

Through several of his characters ames Hilton shows his own deep nterest in thenrts. In "Lost Bor- izon" his love of literature, art and music is evident in his idealistic scheme of the lamasery as a store- house of representative artistic treasures to be saved. out of chaos, for future generations. In "And Now Good-Bye" he fre- quently mentlons the painter Re.- phael and the musician Mozart.

Raphael Snnti was born at Ur- bino in 1488. Raphael trained him- self to follow very closely in the footsteps of his masters and at times his work is almost indistin- guishable from theirs. His charm- ing "Vision of a. Knight" painted when he was sixteen shows the in- fluence of Tlmoteo Vitl.~ Later he assimilated the manner of Perugino the most famous painter of his dis- trict. a-nd still later learned much from do Vinci and the Florentine school.

Raphael's madonna pictures are the best known. He painted at least one hundred of them and the two most famous and most beautiful are the Madonna of the Chair and the Sistine Madonna. The latter was‘ painted originally for a ban- ner but was used as an altar piece. Between two curtains the Madonna is shown advancing on the clouds offering her Child to the world. In the foreground are two cherubs who. it is “said, were not at first in the painting but were added by tlis artist after he had seen two little boys leaning forward over the rail- ing before his picture. As the cher- ubs are very earthy looking little beings this story is perhaps true.

The Reverend l-Iowat heemantle of “And Now Good-Bye" in giving a talk on Mozart toone of his pet institutions. described Mozart's mu- sic as "perfectly and enchantingly meaningless except for that one central unanslyssble rnesning._ beauty . . .
