Most of the models shown were:

Roses will bloom on summer dresses and hats next year, The Times predicts, showing an entire scene with rose-laden fashions

from a dozen top designers. This," too, is interpreted as a sentimental .

and nostalgic note.

Nylon is given an entire section of the show, acccnting glamorous ncgligees and intimate apparel in gaudy new nylon textures which have permanent pleats, ruffles and such, wash in a few minutes and need no ironing. These garments have become the top choice of college girls, working women and travellers because of the ease of caring for them.

With all this short - cropped hair these high collars are a per- fect complement. Some are small, rolling up to just meet the ears. Others are high and flaring. Dc- signers put them on high-button- ed-up necklines or deep plunging or deep scooped-out. ones. When they are large and high-riding there is usually wir- ing or canvas lining to keep their shape.

ELLEIPS DIARY

By An lalnnd Farmer's Wile

The parting at Alderlea, schedul- ed for this morning, came in its early glow, the ceremony hasten- ed somewhat by the insistence of the remaining field-work as in- dicated in the covering of ice which bridged the horses‘ disinking trough then. “We can't waste too much time today," James com- mented stepping off briskly into E the bright new day and Jock also jacketed and gloved against his choring, greeted us with: "Guess the freeze-ups bearing down on us!" And soon. breakfast past. and with the finality these pre-

sently or ultimately bring, the leave-taking was here. "Aren't you coming out to see us otf,

Ellen?" James asked, but we were well content to regard it from a window. And thus without so much as a farewell from us, or a feminine regret but instead with a feeling of relief that his stay with us had brought no calamity

ed the head of the herd being led away. James doubtless would have his regrets, as he invariably does when is called upon to part Willi some fine product of the farm. that has reached its fullness and perfection under his and the junior farmer's care. As when a fine pen of hogs go, or the fattened cattle, to leave for the time a vacancy a/boutthe place. I O O

This was the sizable red ani- mal, of select stock and respected was "as quiet as a kitten" but nevertheless stispected at all times‘. A sight of him about the yards, out of bounds from the stable, meant an anxious recall of the farmers from the fields or from Rob's, and in the interval a closing of doors which at once, though it might mean the destruc- tion of some cherished lawn- planting, granted him the keys of the out of doors. Tonight then. the housewives’ minds can be a‘. peace, knowing that for the time one hazard to the safety of the place has been removed. Though this content will be all too short- lived. In a recent purchase from Rob, which the farmem here insist was "a hold-up" but the owner de- clares was “just a give-away". in the pleasant barter that takes place at times between them. a yearling has been acquired. A roan crea- ture, pure-bred as to credentials. that will develop in time into just such a handsome and fearsome fellow as was his predecessor, one to make James call again in a ringing voice to Mr. C. entering the short-cut, homing after an evc- ning "kaley" with us at Alderlea, "Better watch your step along there-there's more than the milk cows pasturing in that field t0- night!"

O O I

Jock wore a tolerant expression yesterday when he presented us with the sack of prepared rations for our cage of turkeys. lt said plainly: "We're humouring you by bringing this—when by rights it should be another sack of ‘hog ration. But, surely when you come to count the cost of it all, iy0u'l1 see the folly of this ven- ture of yours. There's no doubt but you've let yourself in for an expensive hobby —-a drag as it were on the farming!" This idea becomes vocal with James. “This isn't another sack of that stuff. is I it Ellen!" he will exclaim coming suddenly upon a strange tag dur- ‘ing the unloading. And then with I a chuckle, "Wouldn't it have been ,more profitable if you had bought yourself a canary? You wouldn't be in debt so much for feed—and if it was a male. he could at least sing for you!" Mean-while cost of board mounts until in our inex- perienced lbut successful method of feeding our probable assets are

no match for our liabilities, in spite of the dozen thrifty and likcable birds we attend. But

content to leave the reckoning of the financial part of the under- taking to the masculine minds, they ‘being supposedly better equipped by nature to deal with such problems, and rather grateful that on a Spring night a fox made oiif with a sitting turkey-hen to lessen our indebtedness. we are satisfied with our success at the endeavour.

Timely Notes On Nutrition

By Marjorie G. Hill

LET'S TALK ABOUT ma: HOMEMAKER. SERVICE

Although the first official Home- maker Service started in 197.3 in Toronto it has been only in the past three years that any such organization formed on Prince Edward Island.

At present there are two bran- ches of the Service which are un- der the direction of the Red Cross Nutritionist, one in Charlottetown, the other ia Summersidc. Each branch has its own supervisor who investigates each case where a homemaker is needed, and s-u- pervises the work carried on by the Individual Homemakers, when they are out on a case.

What is the purpose of this ser- vice?

1. To provide capable homemak- ers who will care for the family while the mother is ill at home. or in the hospital; or other emergen- cics.

2. To give service to all in need. regardless of race. creed, color or iflCllnlf‘.

3. To permit the father to con- tinue with his work assured that his family is well cared for.

Who are the supervisors?

MIND AND BODY — BODY AND MIND

I have written before about the belle of the village marrying a wealthy man and moving to a largo city. After being away from the v.1- lage for some t’nie she became ill. but none of the city physicians wcri- aible to diagnose her disease or curv her illness. In desperation the hus- band telephoned the old village dac- toi- and asked him to come to the city and try to diagnose and help his wife. On visiting the patient and making a thorough examin- ation and asking numerous ques- tions. the old family doctor asked the patient. to lie on hor abdomen. He then gave her one hard spank and the patient got up, dressed. and went about her household duties.

In "Medical Clinics of North America," Dr. Walter Alvarez, Mayo Clinic, states that the old family doctor has a tremendous advant- tLge over the city specialist because he has known the patient for years or from infancy. Often he has known the mother and grand- mother. uncles. and aunts, and their tendencies toward disease. l-le knows that; the young woman patient hc is examining was born frail and sickly. and. like mother and grand- mother. was never rugged. In these cases the treatment consists in try- ing to build up the patient physic- Blllfl Jl-lSt as the miiid affects the body so that the individual may It ‘Ines feel (hill. he own; me
