RED ROSES SAFER. THAN ‘VHITE SORT

Toronto - A man shouldn't give l girl while roses unless his matri- monial intentions are serious, says Ileicn liutson Weber.

"White roses mean a proposal and Ire an invitation to trip down the lisle." says the rose stylist who came from New York lo arrange roses for the Royal Winter Fair Flower Shows.

Red roses are safer, she feels. They signify love, all right -— but there's nothing binding about them.

SHELL OYSTERS nrzucacv

This is the season when oysters are at their best. and amateurs have that Ilob of “oyster sucking" cut out (or them.

Experts at the fisheries depart- ment have a few directions for the person who would eat his oyster with .a minimum of effort.

One method for getting at this delicious seafood is by opening through the side, wherever an opening may present itself, but preferably just opposite the muscle located about one-quarter to one- lhird of the length from the broad end.‘ Cut the muscle on the flat upper shell.

A second method is to insert a Ihort knife between the shells at the hinge and break the hinge by prying the two shells apartlat this

point. The upper shell can than be‘ lifted up and the muscle taken out.

Oyster Soup: Open oysters and empty in a fine strainer placed over a bowl. When all the oysters are opened let them drain for a while longer aiid sprinkle with u few table- spoons of cold water. Strain the liquid from the oysters through cot- ton to remove sand and hcat, then add oysters which have been wash- ed. Cook uniil the edges curl and add milk which has been heated. Add a piece of butter or thick cream, and salrand pepper. Serve hot. Paprika may be sprinkled on each plate as desired.

T0 BE JUST SMART NOT ENOUGH NOW

I Fafiiion is asking the girls to be

[more than smart-looking these days. They must look pretty too. says lilrs. Doreen Day, Montreal fash- ion expert.

“You must do everything you can do to make yourself pretty and fem- inine." she told women at a lunch- eon meeting. "This can be achiev- ed by the use of colour, bright shades a la Paris and sharp colour from New York."

The silhmlflle. She said. must be adjusted to time and place, age and type. No sophisticate would choose "bouffant" or lace but rather a slim close-fitted model in black with jac- ket having gold accent.

Legends ' Of

, P. E. Island

BBUDENELL ISLAND

By Uncle Joe

Almost one hundred and fifty years have passed since a little group of Scottish settlers. b98118?! by James McLaren. landed on tbs Brudenell shore. The orifllfllll group consisted of some twenty souls, all linked up in 0H9 fflmlli/ through the relationship of mar- rlage.

Here they carved for themselves homes from the wilderness that lay all about them, and some of their descendants still live in the district. In the Old World they had been staunch adherents of the Episcopal Church. and upon their arrival in the New World one of their firs‘. acts was to build a small. crude 1m; building which was reserved as u place of divine service under their leader, James McLaren.

Tradition says that Bishop Mc- Eachern baptized one of the set- tlers’ children within the walls of this primitive edifice.

When death claimed its first vic- tim. Christina Gordon. in the YB" 1804, the near-by island of Brui- enell was chosen as a fitting place in which to bury their dead. By 1819, the ashes of James McLaren and one of his neighbors rest/id there also.

According to this legend, some years prior to those three deaths, a woman and two children were seen passing from the north bank of thc river toward the tiny island.

Several of the settlers, who had been following their course, saw the three cross the shallow channel leading to the isle and then disap- pear in the wood.

A check-up among the little col- ony revealed that all was as it. should be. Not a soul among them was absent.

Immediately a search party was organized to rescue the supposed strangers. The tiny island was searched from end to end. but in vain. Not even the trace of a footstep rexvarded the searchers. The forms they had sighted were not of flesh and blood; of this they were all positive, by now.

So from then on the incident was looked upon as a token or fore- shadowing of the deaths which 11C‘ curred soon after, and thc founding of this cemetery on Brudenell Isi- and.
