It's a long way from the crude specimens of the batik craze on this continent 20 years ago. Gustav Weisman is putting the modern touch to Bali's national art and is painting abstracts and senii-abstracts with the age-old ivelliatik iiiaterials-dye, wax and un-, depeiidable . . . bleached cotton. 1 Weisniari will demonstrate pil- batik in the Canadian l-Iandicraftsl, his Guild booth at this years Canad- ian National Exhibition. Handi- nricraft experts are enthused over his heautifiil work in this almost for- gotten field.

However, Weisman ,some-times dips the material as trange .of colors, shades, dots and lstreaks. ; He paints on batik just as .,ai-tist using oils or water colors, with no preconceived plan as to lhow the picture should look when lit is finished. . i ”Sometiines wonderful unan- iticipated things happen." he said. t”The wax cracks and unplanned- ifor dyes creep in. giving a beauti- iful texture to the painting." l l The Stars Say - - By Genevieve Kemblo Mununun i For Tomorrow , QUICK and profitable results can ibe expected thist-day if you work twith initiative and enterprise.

A 'standard' or lnormai last. is one in which a set. of standard measurements are used throiichout. namely. standard length. standard width. standard instep. standard heel and standard ankle." Shoes for children should be an exact fit. not too large so that the child will grow into them. Children loften niiterow. rather than out- wear. their shoes. In tilting the shoes. the following points should be followed: 1. F..ve.lE-ts should be parallel. 2.

The widest part of the child's foot--widest, part of bone forming big toe to widest part of the little toe-should be the widest part of the shoe. The ball of the foot and the hall of the shoe should meet at the same point so that the foot and the shoe may bend at the same place. 4. The width across the ball of the foot should be noted.

NELL A DIFFICULT TASK ANSWER: If you marry a man you don't. love,l marriage will demand a great deal more sacrifice from you than it would if you loved your hus- band. The reason for this is that what we do for those we love seldom is in the nature of n. sacri- fice. but it is much more difficult to exert effort for people we don't love-no matter how much we respect them. For instance. if you married this man you would evident-ly share a home with your mother- ln-law. For a. husband you love. it would be a. plea.- sure to go out of your way to create a. happy atmos- phere under such circumstances; but could you do it for a man who had no claim on your deeper emotions? . g Marriage for companionship is. by no means doomed to failure; Care of Books in fact. the record of success isyquite good. You must be fully aware. h0W9Ver- Wilt WN19 YOU are receiving a full measure of love from your man, you have none to offer in return. and the balance can onhy be kept by'great devotion from you. You also must face the possibility thaticase will save eventually-your husband may tire of his one-sided love. If you can tageimold. up to difficulties and conquer them. I'd say go ahead, If you find it difficult to face challenges. better wait. I 0. E III 0. 1.. &' n. O "I on '0 UT 0 0 NT Muriel Nissan I Muunnuxnxnwuwxnkuknnuh K I By Roberta has i I i .
