Wilson's Jewellery With. SHIRLEY J. KELLER I vowed, I was not going to discuss nursery schools again this O week — but I just can't help myself. I got a telephone call Monday morning from Mrs. Earl Campbell, Exeter, who knows all the ins and outs of nursery schools. Mrs. Campbell is a certified nursery school teacher, has been involved in the work for 20 years or so and operated her own school in London for about 17 years. Mrs. Campbell isn't trying to find a job. She is merely offering her valuable experience to anyone in Exeter and area who is interested in setting up a nursery school. As a resource person, she will be a tremendous asset. Our thanks to you, Mrs. Campbell, for coming forth with such a generous proposal. • Got an interesting note last week from a Hensall woman who is soliciting assistance in her quest for used postage stamps. Florence P, Lee collects the stamps for the leprosy fund. She tells me that last year, thousands of dollars were raised for the • cause which she feels is "very worthwhile." She would appreciate it if other interested women in the district would mail to her their used postage stamps, trimmed from the envelopes and leaving at least one-eighth of an inch of • paper around each one. Some church women in the district, I know, already gather used postage stamps to raise money for mission projects. Promised this week to talk about a bride's shopping spree • with her bridesmaids. This can be a real outing and one that can produce more joy for the bride than any other single duty prior to her wedding. The cardinal rule is to plan ahead. Make absolutely certain each of your bridal attendants • can spend a whole day with you. It will take that long to choose dresses, have fittings, buy the necessary accessories and discuss the "little things" that will come up during the course of the day. Some bridal salons prefer that an appointment be made at the • store well ahead of time. A consultant there will want to know how many girls in the party and this will give some idea how much of her working day will be required to handle the group. Upon arrival the first job will be to select a style and color of gown that appeals to the bride, the attendants and the pocketboOks' of 'whoever fs who will be footing the bill — Solnetitnea a husband, sometimes parents. A competent bridal consultant will be able to guide you to something that is flattering for all figure types in your wedding party and at a price they will easily afford. As well, the bridal consultant will insist on fittings, suggest headdresses to suit the occasion and the type of undergarments most appropriate for the style of gowns. It will take at least two or three hours to accomplish this basic work. By the way, most salons will expect a deposit on the gowns the day they are purchased with the balance payable when the gowns are picked up just before the wedding. Incidentally, a flowergirl or a junior bridesmaid can present a bit of a problem since gowns either do not come in their sizes or are too expensive to buy. Most salons will be able to get for you, material exactly matching the material in the bridesmaids' dresses, and a clever seamstress will be able to whip up something very similar in style to the bridesmaids' gowns. If there is a real interest in saving money for the bridal attendants, all the gowns can be sewn by a seamstress. But please, allow her sufficient time to do the job easily without too much stress and strain. The shopping spree will also include a visit to the shoe store for footwear; a call at the jewellers for matching jewellery (often a gift from the bride); and a stop at a department store or ladies' wear shop for gloves and appropriate underthings. It is best to get the whole thing done in one day, if at all possible, to ensure that everything is in order for all concerned with nothing forgotten. To top off the whole day, a nice dinner in a quiet restaurant is best . . . maybe even a movie (bride's treat) as a relaxing surprise! * * The comment in last week's' column concerning a suggestion that mothers take a course in amusing and stimulating their own children is a good one. It got me to thinking about the whole situation where children are reared in homes where mother isjust not quite up to the task of properly cultivating young minds. Mother is a busy woman, particularly if she has other children besides this little toddler who requires so much attention to flourish. There are to prepare, dishes to Wash,. 'floors to dust, clothes to wash and iron, church work to do, club meetings to attend . . . maybe even a 9 to 5 job to go to. It would be ideal if every mother knew just how to make the most of every few minutes she has to devote expressly to her youngster. It would be great if mother could sufficiently motivate her little one in half an hour to keep him happy and busy for the entire morning. It takes skill and patience to move young children away from boring inactivity and into productive play, but the rewards are high. Maybe a series of weekly lessons by someone who really knows would be THE answer to mothers' frustrations. Any comments? Women's Institute district annuals are upcoming and I've been asked to remind everyone of the South Huron WI district annual at Elimville May 22. North Middlesex WI will hold their district annual at Lucan May 13. * Learned this week how to cook rhubarb sauce without mushing it. Put the rhubarb and the sugar in an oven-proof bowl. Stir well and let it set at room temperature for an hour or so. Bake at 325 degrees to 350 degrees for one hour. No water needed. The color, flavor and texture is perfect. * * I often wonder, and I'm sure you often wonder too, how mothers managed in the dear old days when they did everything the long, hard way. So, hurrah for our electric miracle workers and convenience foods. It's quite amazing how many new ideas and recipes keep coming to help save time and let women serve things that taste really oldtime homemade.

I'm gratified at the response there has been recently to the Over 80 Club, a fairly new weekly feature in the T-A. The club began to take shape in my mind when a senior citizen complained to me a while ago that there was nothing in the newspaper of interest to older people. The complaint was that — Please turn to page 20 * Rings * Watches * Necklaces * Crystal * Costume Jewellery * Silverware * Cups and Saucers * Serving Dishes * Fancy Dishes COMPLETE ASSORTMENT OF MOTHER'S DAY CARDS 'INMEDIMaragENZNi nx.wzr:gooklm4,4.
