A bone-mill owner assured the public that "parties sending their own bones will be attended he with fidelity and dispatch." A racehorse owner had for sale "a splendid grey horse, as a charger, or would carry a lady with a switch tail." An advertisement in a Dublin newspaper announced that a well-known spirit merchant had for sale "a small qUantity of the whiskey ,which was drunk by his late Majesty, while in Dub- lin." Classic example of a deliber- ately freak "ad," is that of the showman who placed a -large placard on his tent announcing that he was exhibiting a horse with Its tail where its head ought to be, Hundreds of people paid to see this curiosity. When admit- ted, they saw a horse turned round, so that its tail was in the oats bin! Saturday I was wondering what I was likely to write in my column this week—wonder- ing because of Hurricane Con- nie. But Connie, as you know, wasn't nearly so obstreperous as she might have been, except along the shores of Lake Ontario and Lake Etie. We got a good stiff wind here and plenty of rain but it didn't even put the hydro power out of commissibn. So now we are busy counting our blessings once again — and hoping "Diane". will be just as ladylike in her behaviour, if and 'when she comes this way. These hurricane warnings are really quite disturbing. At times you don't' know whether You should change whatever plans you have made or not. You don't want to, but on the other hand hurricane warnings can hardly be treated lightly. I was chiefly concerned on Saturday about a School Reunion that was taking place in this district. Of course such' inclement weather would mean a much smaller attend- ance than had been anticipated. Unfortunately all such •reunions are completely at the mercy of the weather. On Saturday it must have been very disap- pointing for those from distant points who had expected to be present -7 and for those who had planned the Centennial pro- gramme. I was in Toronto all day Fri- day and I wouldn't have been at all happy had "Connie" kicked over the traces while I was away from home. As it was I had a most interesting after- noon — at a Tea and W.I. Rug Exhibit sponsored by the Salads Tea Company. There were 59 rugs entered in the competition. Just think of the hours and hours of work that went into those 59 rugs . . . and of the fun, chatter and laughter that would emerge from 59 groups of women gathered together on this worthwhile project! There were rugs there from right across Ontario from Went- worth area, London, Ottawa and points in between, right through to Fort William. I looked them over casually at first, then more carefully, trying to decide which two in my humble opinion were the beet rugs — in craftsman-, ship and design. To my surprise I picked the two rugs that were later announced as the winners. The first prize rug was made by the ,Winona ' second prize, Varency W.I. — both these branches are froth the Hamil- ton Area, First prize rug was circular, about forty inches in diameter, featuring a large twelve-pointed star and between each point of the star the rep- resentative flower of each pro- vinte. To equalize twelve points among the ten provinces two points each were given to On- tario and Quebec as being the largest provinces, The second prize-winning rug featured the Lion and the Uni- corn with the Maple Leaf and the Flour de Lb between them, A very striking arid unique de- sign, Both rugs showed excel- lent workmanship, as did most of the others. As usually happens my visit to Torohte was a combination of business arid pleasure.
