Flower petals are coated with tiny globules of natural oils, dif- fering in composition in each flow- er, and these give off the fragrant scent.

Tips to home sewers: If the pat- tern you are using is complicated don't just lay it out and cut your material. If you're in doubt about some parts. cut them out of muslin first and play around with them until you are sure they'll fit.

In a swank Mayfair hotel they launched their spring and summer collections aimed at the export market. In almost everyone of the 125 ensembles displayed the skirts had risen two inches. The ballet skirt and the ballerina suit had vanished. The cumbersome fullness and the taffeta underskirts of the new look were replaced by pencil slimncss and the customary silk under-slip.

In the many coats and suits dis- played ln the show the classic-line was the best bet for smartness. Slender-waisted jackets with full but uncxaggerated skirts; fullness at the knee level in many models; neat belted lilies for country coats: slim high-waisted and empire lines for town; skirts plain in front. pFe-ated at the sides or at the back: no hip padding, roll sleeves and modified Dolman sleeves.

An outstanding coat was fash- ioned in gray showerproof cavalry

Legends Cf P. E._Island

B7 Uncle Ios L081‘ TIIABUII '

If that rlp-roarin’ buccaneer who went by the name of Captain Kidd ever buried any part of his fabulous riches in Prince Edward Island. that place would_most likely have been l-lolman's island, or perhaps Governor's Island.

\‘Vhy'.'

lveli. tradition says that when the notorious pirate was nearing his end he told a certain party that most of his ill-gotten gains lay bur- led in an lilbllflyflefll‘ an island. whose soil was red.

Questioned further, Kidd inform- ed his listeners that the island where much treasure lay buried was long, narrow and of a crescent shape.

That was the only information the block-hearted scoundrel volun- leercd.

It was only natural that such a clue would bring many of . the Island's early settlers to Holfnaifs Island in search of the gold coins which Captain Kidd and his cut- throat followers liud piifered from thc merchant ships of many nu- tions.

The southern part of the island which lies nearest Bedeque, still shows a large cavity or excavation where the sweat and curses of dis- appointed groups filled tlie air and mingled with the sands oi tlic shore.

Each spring, when the ice had melted from the rivers, tlie gold seekers could be seen heading for the island of pYUilliSL’. Each faiii would see them plodding home- ward, bitter and discouraged u\ U1‘ not having found tlie rainbows end and the pot of gold.

Thus it came to pass that in time much of the island was gone over, searched alid scarred by pick, axe. sliovcl and crow-bur.

On (iovernofs island some dig- ging was supposed to have been carried out, but this venture was soon abandoned in favor of Hol- man's Island. though for what rea- son legend does not tell.

Thcn for some years tlie scorch seems to have been given up al- together.

One day. however. a group of children, while roaming about the then isolated island, accidentally stumbled upon u few old pieces of money, which they carried to their elders. The coins, though corroded and the worse for wear, turned out to be “pieces of eight," the real McCoy!

So once more the treasure hunt got under way in real earnest. Horses and ploughs were transport- cd to the place. People became ex- cited and talked of gold all day and dreamt of it by night. The entire district was in an uproar.

One moonlit. night (so the leg- end runs), a party of six workmen came upon an old sea-cliest . It was down about twenty feet. Ropes were put into use and fastened about the chest. A team of horses was attached to the cable; but when the driver chirped to the animals the cable snapped, and- horror of horrors! — the horses, chest and workers were all swal- lowed up by the earth, never to be seen again.

Should Wife Be Rubber Stomp‘!

Congeniality is Hand-Maiden Of Love, ~ Not Kowfowing To Husband .

I find that the man to whom I am engaged and I have entirely different ideas on every subject. He says that if I love him I should see his points of view, and believes that a wife should look up to her husband as her lord and master in everything and be entire- ly subservient to hini and adopt all of his opinions. This I cannot do.

Is it always the woman's place to give in? marry this man, would our life together be one long

ANSWER: Both for your own sake and for hers you should cease going with her so much. and you‘should frankly tell her that you re- gard her as a friend only and that you are not thinking of asking her A man does a girl a great injustice when he pays lier onstant attentions if he doesn't intend to marry her, and when lie mon- opolizcs lier time and keeps other men who might marry her away from her. And it is a cruel thing to win a girl's heart even unintentionally and then spurn the gift.
