Saturday, morning was dull
arid • wet' but it cleared after
dinner so I was able to attend
the annual Arts and Crafts
show at a nearby town. As usual
it was good. This particular
show *gas that extra something
that seems to set it apart. The
arts and crafts exhibited, while
not uncommon in type, are ex-
cellent in. quality and work-
, zianship 'Shelicraft dainty in
cal)lour and design; metal work
without a flaw; and the ever-
popular hand-woven goods. And
always there is at least one
new feature. This time it was
paper cur-outs — descendants
of the original paper dolls.
Really, it " is astonishing what
can be clOne with scissors, pa-
per and artistic ability. As an
extra touch to the show there

attractively etched on the hag.
On my homeward way through
the town I saw a good demon-
stratiOn of what constitutes a
traffic hazard. Here it is: One
small town in the process of
rapid expansion; parked cars
on both sides of the main
streets; a main 'highway
through, or close to, the main
street. Add to that a Brewer's
Retail Store on a side street
and, oh brother, you've really
got a lovely situation. Coming
through the town I turned down
an unfamiliar side street and
found mySelf in a traffic jam
outside the Brewer's Store —
cars parked and double-parked
the full length of the street and
round the corner. It took me
ten minutes to get through.
-That 'ten minutes may well ruin
my reputation as Lauppose most
people who drive along that
street 'have only one purpose

So 'mocl`l to write about

'Maybe I should get the bad news
over first — except that it is
no longer bad but better than
we hoped for. Just over' a week
ago, at midnight, our, grandson
Was rushed to the Sick Child-
ren's Hospital. He was fighting
for breath and a specialist' Was, r.
called in to operate. An incision
was made in his throat and a
tube inserted. The operation
Was successful but afterwards
Dave required special nurses
to take care of hint for four
days — that is, until the tube r.
was removed, Now he is com-
ing along fine but he won't be
home for a few days yet, Nor
do his parents visit hire for fear
of making him homesick and •
fretful and thus retard his re-
covery. Once or twice Dee was
at the Hospital; she saw Dave
birt he didn't see her, He was
sitting up in his cot playing
quite happily, so_ of Course
Daughter was happy too. The
attack came on quite suddenly,
without any previous cold or
congestion and apparently was
a very severe type of croup,
lower down than the ordinary
variety. So our Dave celebrated
his second birthday in a •hos-
pital bed. And glad we are there
was a hospital for him to go to.
Like so many other parents and
grandparents we cannot be too
thankful for the existence of
the Sick Children's Hospital in
Toronto and for the wonderful
work that is done there.
So far as the weather was
concerned, last week was won-
derful and we certainly took
advantage of it. I managed• to
get an oversize washing out on
my new clothesline . . . thought
I had better make use of it in
a hurry otherwise a few well-
chosen remarks might have
been thrown my way — you
know — "said you wanted a
clothesline and now you don't
use it" sort of thing.
•Thursday was too nice a day
to be ironing so. I paid a long
over-due visit to some friends
in Burlington. Of course, I
found Burlington, like every
Other locality, spreading out and
running over. I was visiting in
one of the older residential
streets and I thoUght people
who had already established a
comfortable home before the
building boom got underway
are very lucky. Before return-
ing home I went over to the
Shopping centre — probably
wouldn't have done so only I
knew parking would be easier
than down town. Actually, con-
venient parking is the only
thing that attracts me to these
places. Shopping at a big gro-
certeria isn't all honey. For in-
stance, my purchase was half-
a-dozen grapefruit. There were
six pay desks in the store but
it not being a rush-hour only
one was open. I had to wait
while two women checked in
with enough groceries to feed

Frightened of lightning- If
you are, think yourself lucky
that you don't live 'in' a tropical
climate.. where, at certain times
of the year, hardly a day passes
without . at least one severe
thunderstorm,
Lightning is certainly the
joker of the skies. One Of its
strangest pranks happened when
the thigh of a man struck by
lightning was branded with the
letters D.D. The doctor treat-
ing the man for shock reco-
gnized the initials as being
identical with those on a wal-
let which had been stolen from
him some time previously. When
the victim recovered; he con-
fessed to having picked the doc-
tor's pocket, the' wallet having
been in his possession when the
lightning struck.
Exploded On Bedpost
Occasionally, lightning ap-
pears as a ball of fire. One such
ball entered a woman's bed-
room through the open window,
wheeling slowly around the
bed. After scorching the wom-
an's nightdress, the ball struck
the bedpost and exploded, leav-
ing t h e woman unharmed,
though shaken by her strange
experience.
Striking a blacksmith's shop
in Surrey, lightning fused a
heavy chain into a solid rod..
Though lightning can kill and
maim, it sometimes acts as a
cure. A blind man, felled by
lightning, rose to find that his
sight was restored. At least One
case is known of an insane
woman becoming normal after
being struck by lightning.
When a French picture gal-
lery was hit during a violent
thunderstorm, lightning strip-
ped the gilt from a picture-
frame, without damaging either
the frame itself' or the valuable
painting it contained:

The streets of London may
not be paved with, gold, but
come old paving - stones were
turned into hard cash by a
brainy gent recently.
The paving-stones were being
removed from the courtyard of
Buckingham Palace when the
garden stone merchant had an
idea.
With dignified trans-Atlantic
advertising, he hinted that the
stones couldn't be sold in the
usual way but were available
to $25-a-time subscribers. In
the end he netted $7,500, just
for the ground royalty walked
on.
Another royal trade boom re-
sulted when a London shine
specialist designed a special
polish to give extra highlights
to the royal. aircraft of the
Queen's Flight:
The gloss attracted world at-
tention and when President
Eisenhower flew to Geneva in
his own private 'plane twenty
export gallons of the polish had
to be rushed to give his 'plane
an equal sheen.
It was the same when the
Duke of Edinburgh complained
in a speech that most beds were
so short. that his feet stuck out.
A British firm began specializ-
ing in mattresses three inches
longer than usual — and brisk
demand in America has kept
the bedding workers on over-
time.
Even when the Duke shot his
cuffs just before signing a visi-
tor's book, it meant a trade
boom. Cameras clicked as the
Duke signed.and photo enlarge-
ments revealed .his „fancy cuff-
links. It began a demand that
has continued unabated.
One firm has produced 150
- different designs including a
smart nylon thread pair that
has a fishingrod at one: end, a
trout at the other.
When Prince Charles first wore

Q. Should a person always
rise when performing an intro-
duction?
A. In most cases, yes. How-
ever, there are certain circum-
stances where this would prove
awkward. If an introduction is
perfermed at A banquet table,
for instance, then .rising would
not be necessary.
' Q. How many ushers should
a bridegroom have at a church
wedding?
A. There is no set and definite
number. It is up to the bride-
groom, the number of guests ex-
pected, and the size of the
church.
Q. Is it proper for a girl's
escort to tell her that her slip,
is showing?
A. Certainly, and only a prude
would resent this. A girl should
appreciate being told,
Q. When should announce=
xnents - be sent of a marriage
which' has been kept secret for
several weeks or months?
A. Since a secret marriage is
not a prescribed affair, there is
no definite time for mailing an-
nouncements. It is entirely op-
tional.
Q. How can a new bride in a '
strange -city best go about mak-
ing new friends?
A. BY joining a church group,
the local garden club, or some
similar organization Which in,
terests her, she will very likely
meet women With tastes ten-
genial to her own.
Q. Are the letters, poptilarly
written at the bottoms Of in-
vitationsi all supposed to he„
capitalized; as, R.S.V.P.?
A No; only the first letter is '
capitalized; as,• "R. s.v.p.'
„I. Cf. If a Young man sends a
girl•ra Atiteage to wear to some
partictiler affair but the floWerti
lid harmonize with the One
suitable gown she must wear,
what should she do.?
A. Wear them anyWayi Or

be very rude to leave thorn at
home.
