The third of Mrs. Smith's courses will be in pearl jewelry making. Pearls are also coming back into fashion, and in this art are combined with crocheted cotton. The fourth craft is called petal- dip. This is a plastic dip, which is made into flowers or things like mobiles. In addition, she will present a mini-course in macrame, with just the basic knots and techniques.

"not to get bogged down in things. you have seen before. You should just let yourself go, and let your mind run wild." She called her demonstrations "one shot". Their purpose is just to introduce the various crafts, and to stimulate interest. Then she will conduct further classes throughout the winter to explore the finer details and possibilities of the erafts. Mrs. George Sereda, on the arts and crafts committee, has a great deal more planned, however. She has invited Marie Mowat to come from Kitchener to demonstrate her looming. In addition to the actual demon- stration, she will have items for sale, such as placemats and dresser sets and scarves. But arts and crafts are not solely the perogative of the ladies.
