Alice Liddell was one of his dearest among the little girls that he devoted himself to throughout his life. In their company the shy, retiring scholar who was known to his colleagues as the Rever- end Charles Lutwidge Dodgsoh, mathematics don at C h ri st Church, Oxford, could relax and expand and reveal the tenderer side of his nature. He was untiring in inventing games and stories for the chil- dren’s amusement, and in his col- lege rooms kept cupboards full of toys and the fancy dress cos- tumes in which they dress up to play charades or pose for him for his hobby or photography. The four ladies who reminisce about the great Victorian story- teller are Miss Ethel Hatch, Mrs. E. H. B. Skimming, Mrs. H. F. Stratton, and Mrs. E. G. Shawyer.

There is a common fallacy in neckoning the reasons for a woman’s “aloneness” in so- ciety. Ordinarily, the unthinking assumption is that she would be loved and cherished (i.e. mar- ried), if only she were more lob- able, or more attractive, etc. However, the deep truth is that love is a gift, not a reward for merit. And when love is be- stowed, it confers a special charm, a compelling distinction, upon the person beloved. Thus, fortunate women who happen to b€10Ved, sometimes smugly and mistakenly assume that intrinsic- ally they are more and better in the scale of human values, than denied the g_ift——who must stand up to li-fewithout it. . _Dxig-est the fact that in your own right, Just as you are, you are normally love w o r t h y.

DOOOOOOOOOIOIOOOOOOOOOOQOOI FOR THE BEST IN Cameras -. . .- /AND PHOTO SUPPLIES 586 JEWELLER3 Gfiar/otetawrx WE DEVELOP AND PRINT ALL COLOR FILM TYPES OF It's such an easy thing for one to pull a pair of drapes across a window to shut out ex- excess sunlight, that many peo- ple forget that .. drapes c an . get “sunburn- ed” too, even in winter. Some house- wives think they have this problem under control simply because they have had their drapes » made with white linings that will not fade or bleach in the sun. It’s true that a white hn- ing will continue to keep its " appearance better than any col- ored lining. But aren’t everything. . _ It has been proven in scienti- fic tests,_.that, whether the effects happen to be visible or not, any fabric exposed to sunlight over 1 long period of time will be considerably weakened by it. In the more extreme instan- ces, ii pair of “sunburned” drapes will almost fall apart during laundering or dry clean- ing. There is no cleaning process that will rejuvenate a fabric that has been damaged in this way, but naturally the life of the drapes will be much longer if extreme care is taken during cleaning. If there are blinds on the win- dows, you can also get extra wear out of the drapes by hav- ing them made with hems of equal size at top and bottom. Then, after each laundering they can be turned upside down—if the pattern will allow—and this will result in a more even dis- tribution of the wear caused by sunlight, as the parts that were behind the blinds will have re- mained in stronger condition. appearances MR.
