WASHINGTON COULDN'T WAIT—But if 'the leader of .Revo-
lutionary War forces had, he's have- found crossing the Dela-
ware a lot easier. Gay Yeager of Newton, Pa., stands in the
spot where Washington started „the. famed winter crossing.
Severe drought has brought the,river down ,to where one can
wade across it. It normally is 13-15 feet deep,
er and smoother finish for baby
clothes. Unless great care is
taken run and fell seams clone

cumbersome,
Following the prize awards
arid brief addresses by
president Mrs. James liaggerty
and Horne Economics; Director,
Miss Helen McKercher, W.I,
members, were the guests of the
Salada-Sheriff-Horsey company
for afternoon tea. It was a good
cup of tea . . I wonder why!
We thought the tea was the
al touch to a very pleasant ef,
.kterimon. But no, as we came
away each guest was presented
with a carton about 12 inches.
square, I had no idea what was
in it until I got home. Then I
found I had been carrying
around a regular surprise pack-
et — cake mix, pie-crust mix,
jelly and pudding powders, pie
filling, apple jelly, marmalade,
orange juice, flavouring — and
of course a packet of tea bags,.
Can you imagine such generos-
' ity? $150 in prize money, tea
served to approximately a hun-
dred guests, plus this lovely
surprise packet for each one to
take away, It certainly looks
as if the company goes all out
in its efforts to encourage mem-
bers fo the W,I.
Another pleasant feature of
the afternoon was renewing ac-
quanitances with W.I. members
from other parts of the prov-
ince, some of whom had come
quite a distance, It was easy to
pick out the W.I. girls at the
bus terminal — so many wo-
men clutching in their arms a
mystery carton 12 inches
, square! Heavy, but cheerfully
carried.
Well, I see our next-door

* I do not doubt you love him,

To get a hairdo in San Ante-
rria at Tonio's salon, which has
no running water and no electric
power, is to discover how in*
genious man can be without
modern conveniences ot every-
day life,
Only since visitors have
brought modern dress styles and
short hair to Ibiza has a hair-
dresser become necessary. There
is, of course, the "barberia" for
the men,
The country "'girls still wear
their jet black hair parted in
the middle and in long pigtails
with bright bows on the ends.
These bows of flame pink, Medi-
terranean blue, bright green, or
lemon are commonly said to de-
note whether a girl is married
or "going steady" or still hope-
ful, but local people assured me
this was not so.
Now that the younger girls of
San Antonio have begun to give
up their traditional long black
dresses, shawls, and aprons, they
have also cut their hair short
and need to have it dressed.
So a sign hangs out under the
balcony in the narrow, cobbled
street_ It says; "Tonio — coiffure
de dances --ladys (sic) hair," I
read it, pulled aside the bead
curtain, and climbed the steep,
narrow stairway.
Tonio's salon was no more
than a corridor, about wide
enough for three customers to
sit comfortably in chairs before
the mirror.
I checked my watch with
Tonio's, a necessary precaution
on an island where all watches
tell a different story and there
are no public clocks. 1 would
return for a shampoo and set in
half an hour by Tonio's watch,
in an hour by mine.
As I climbed the stairs a sec-
ond time, I suddenly wondered
where the basins were and de-
cided there must be another
room for shampooing. But I was
mistaken. Maria, Tonio's small
daughter, invited me to sit in a
chair writes Melita Knowles in.
The Christian Science Monitor.
She went to a door leading to
a staircase onto- the roof and
*fetched' 'a shaped basin and
ewers.containingnehampoo and
water. I- pelt. my-.head back into
this lapin aricin Marie washed the
hair, "viril I I e the water ran
through Viiipe'lfriSM the basin
into a'bticket: The shampoo fin-
ished,' she removed the basin and
went outside to dispose of the
water and polish the ewers. ready
for the. next ,nustomers.
Tonio then took (Wei. One
customer 'was still u n t h e
drier and I saw another was
waiting with ,her hair pinned up.
A few minutes later Tonio took
the drier and passed it,,onto the
next customer.
There was' only one drier.
Wires from it were connected to
two large batteries on the floor.
Extra supplies of filet oil were
poured in for each customer. A
bag of white calico was attached
to the hood of the drier and this
was tied around the s forehead, so
the heat wouldn't escape.,
The drier was remarkably ef-
ficient and in 20 minutes each
customer emerged, with red
cheeks and puffing with, the heat.
I had learned the wotels "mat
corta" (shorter) from my Span-
ish dictionary so pointed to my'
thick locks and murmured these
words. I opened and closed my
fingers to indicate scissors. Tonio
took an old-fashioned strop razor
and proceeded to shape the 'hair
into the latest Italian style. '
With deft fingers he pinned
the strands into little whirls, and
eventually I took my turn under
the drier.
Out on the balcony, Maria re-
moved the sun blind as the eve-
ning breeze freshened, Tonio
took out the curling -pins and
dropped them into a little bas-
ket. He combed out theecorla.
The result was one of the best
hairdo's I have ever liad--and
all for forty pesetas—less than
a dollar.

Reservations now being placed

year indicate that r< passenger
traffic on, the historic St. Law-
rence river route will -be ex-
tremely brisk during' the 1958
summer season, the Cunard Line
said today.
From April 16 to Nov. 28 next
season four 22,000-ton Cunard
vessels — the Saxonia, Iver-
nia, Carinthia and the new Syl-
vania — will make 43 eastbound
sailings out of Montreal.
The Carinthia and,„ the Syl-
vania will run between Mon-
treal and !'Liverpool via 'Gree-
nock, Scotfand, while the Saxo-
nia and. Ivernia will' sail re-
gularly to Southampton via. Le
Havre. On her April 24 sailing
from Montreal the Ivernia will
sail to London (Tilbury) via Le
Havre and the Saxonia will have
the same ports of call when she
leaves Montreal May 8. •
On several westbound sailings
next season Cunard steamers
will call at Cobh, Ireland, to
embark passengers for Canada.
Calls at Quebec on eastbound
sailings of the Ivernia and Sax-
onia, introduced this year for the
•convenience of passengers wish-
ing to visit the historic city be-
fore embarking for Europe, have
proved popular with travellers
and the practice will ,be continu-
ed during the 1958 summer Sea-
son with the same. steamers
scheduled to stop at Wolfe's

Last week was a week of , sur-
prices. It began when we were
shopping in the vicinity of
Ginger Farm. In one of the
stores we met a man — a wid-
ower whom, we had known
for years. .and .years, He came
over -to us and said "I have
some news for you." I waited
anxiously. He "continued . . "I
know you 'have always been
very good friends- of Mrs. . .
so I thought you might like to
know we are getting married
next Saturday!" Like to know
we were over-joyede Two
friends of long standing, both
past middle-age, both bid 'had
a considerable amount of
-trouble and distress in . their
separate lives. Now they •were
to be married. They will enjoy
each other's companionship 'for,
we hope, a good many years as
both are comparatively well and
active. Companionship . end-
ing the loneliness of twp sepa-
rate lives. Could anything be
better?
Second marriages late- in life
'are not always desirable, 'par-
ticularly if the parties are not
well acquainted. Sometimes it
happens that a man — or the
woman — marries for nilterior
'motives — for a home; or a
housekeeper or for a comfort-
able income, Tragic family-fric-
tion is sometimes the inevitable
result. But where a widow and
a widower have known each
other for years; realize and un-
derstand each other's loneliness,
then marriage seems a most de-
sirable solution — and one that
should be welcomed by their
grown children.
The next surprise was not so
pleasant. A phone call from an
