But when he has only trousers pockets in which to carry cigar- ette s, lighter, handkerchief, coins, car keys, pen, notebook, pipe and tobacco, golf tees, sinkers and about 50 other es- sentials, he looks about the shape of an old tree, covered with fungus. Hot weather is not for men. They should all be given about six weeks off in the summer, while the scantily clad women and kids keep things going. The men won't be happy until they sniff the first nip of fall in the air, and can start grumbling about the cold, and what it costs to heat the place.

The couple will make their home in London. leirekeRlifelreeeareLeeldraeteMatiMallegelZeM District girl married Year after year, we moan about the bitter winter, or dreary fall, or the backward spring . . until July end Au- gust, when we take the rare-felt heat as a personal affront, and whine increasingly. Along about the first part of July, we usually get .9. little whiff of that hot weather we've been looking forward to since Christmas. Nothing torrid. Just a little breath of warmth that a native of the tropics would sneer at. So what do we do? Do we east off our long-handled under- wear and burn it in the streets? po we have a big welcome par- ty for genial old Sol? Not we. We totter around complaining even more bitterly than we did all winter. We adopt a harassed air. H we live in the city, we dash from one tomb- like air-conditioned building to another, inevitably catching a wicked summer cold in the pro- cess. We greet each other with anguished groans and that old folk-saying, "Hot nuff far yuh?" Some idiots try to fight fire with firewater. With remark- able ease they convince them- selves that a long cool one is the only way to beat the heat. Which is about as effective as trying to put out a small blaze by pouring gasoline on it. Others have an even more sil- ly solution., Their idea of getting away from the heat is to hit the highway, drive for four hours in extreme discomfort to a beach where they lie baking with simi- lar sweaty citizenry, before re- tiring to sleep in a cabin like a steam bath. Most of the preceding re- marks have to do with the male population, poor devils. I must admit that women and children stand up to the heat better. Big reason, of course, is their at- tire, or lack of it. Small fry have less clothing on them in this weather than there is in the handkerchief their old man totes around in his hop pocket. Women, whose name is vanity, are interested in acquiring a tan, so expose every possible inch and ounce to the dazed gaze of the men. Women's summer garments are a delight to the eye, and the ultimate in common sense. Maybe that's why ladies don't sweat, but just perspire. Not so the men. Unless they are on their holidays, they face the heat with a surly lack of compromise that would be ad- mirable, were it not stupid. Most of them wear the same clothes in summer as in winter, except for an overcoat. The odd one will take off his jacket, A few sneakily remove their ties. And the wild individual will roll up his shirt-sleeves when it hits a hundred. But that's about as far as they'll go. The vast majority of men wear wool socks, heavy leather shoes, long trousers of wool or flannel, andthe same shirts they wear in January. One more thing that makes a man miserable in the heat is the amount of junk he has to carry Saturday Holy Trinity SS held its annual picnic at Kirkton Park with an attendance of 49, most of whom went in Gary Mc- Fall's truck.

The controlled skirt, swept to a train at the back. A crown of crystal held her four-tiered French illusion veil, and she carried a cascade of red roses and white stephanotis.
