On a visit to London I went to the Savoy to see the “Yeo- men" and found the scenery and orchestra greatly superior to those at the Newcaste Theatre Royal; but, the singing and the acting were iackadaislcal compared with those oi the travelling compani . The mus of the "Yeoman" ap- proaches t. e classical in some measure and I alwa a considered it superior to that o the Mikado.

The latter pronunciation is correct, with the “a" Just sounded. British atlases used to spell it that wav, but since the French took it over it has become "Bizerte," still keeping the final vowel soun . Vowels are “kittle cattle," as the Scots say. The dictionary tells us that "ease" and "pease' are both pronounced with the long "eez." Try them al0ud. and hear the dlfferencel But there is noth- ing we can write to show it. ialect plays the mischief with vowels. “The Dey and a.’ who honor itfl-whait would the lin- initiated make of that "a2" by the simple ll ht or nature‘! Again the Northum rlan poetasters (of whom there is many) always write "ye" for "you." But it is not intended to be pronounced “ye": ts nearly as I can write the sound it ls “yuh." In the brave new world with which we are threatened, let us hope that our phonetics may be rationally revised FASHION FAVOURS QUILTING Quilting is fashions favourite this fall. And patriotically speaking, this fashion has been revived to create warmth without wool for civilian use. Almost any article oi clothing takes smartly to quilting, and home sewers are urged to put their Yankee ingenuity to work for the sake oi aiding the war effort. If you have never used the quilt- ing attachment to your sewinge - chine, now is the time t.o gin And should its workings appear somewhat tricky to you. you may get lnstzuctions at your local sew- ing oentre. Even though ullted gar- ments appear rather bu y, fitting is important. One of the new dress forms, moulded to the exact mea- surcments of your figure. is a great a’. to perfect fitting. A smart. trick to insulate you agafnst wintry winds is to stitch up a pair of quilted sleeves for a plain jacket that's worn under_your coat. Or try a. toast-war unqu ltcd lining for your last year's winter coat. You can be assured of staying warm in- doors. too, if you stitch up a win- tcr-ootton quilted housecoat. Your Electric Washer Your eectric washer is going‘ to have to last for some time so ere are some d0's and don'ts should be observed. Do store the washer in a clean. dry place, sllpcover if pos- s ble; do have periodic checkups by a qualified serv ce man. Don't over- load, it's hard on the motor; don't use rubber parts dlsrespectfuily, such as tramping on the rubber cord winding clothes with sharp buttons. hooks and eves and such through the wringer. storing ma- chine without releasng wringer pressure; don't put. washer away without thoroughly rinsing and r“;- ing inside. wiping off outside.

Keep in mind the Prince Ed- ward Island Fox Pelt show, Bum- meraide, January 5th to 8th, and remember that pelts must be at Canadian National headquarters, Sunmerside, not later than six o'clock Saturday, Janua 2nd. It would be well to send t em in as early as possible prior to that date. Classification will take place on Monday and judging will be con- ducted on Tuesday and Wednes- day, the 5th and 6th, with the banquet Wednesday evening. Jan- uary 6th. The change in receiving date is to allow the pelts to be forwarded to the January auction. It is very important that everyone having good pelts should have at least one or more in this show as they serve to advertise the industry here.
