What are some suggestions for appetizers at a cocktail party? A. Simplest, of course, are peanuts, olives, pretzels, and cheese crackers. If you want to be more elaborate, you can serve small sandwiches of various kinds — and the modern cook- books are full of suggestions on this. Q. Would it be all right for my husband to wear a brown business suit to a late afternoon wedding, since he is not a mem- ber of the wedding party? A, This would be quite proper. Q. What is the difference be- tween a formal and informal tea? A. The decorations of the in- formal tea are not so elaborate and the refreshments are more simple, The hostess at an in- formal tea mingles with her guests and does not remain at the door to greet each new- comer. by „Roberta lo pe , Is it true that women are shaking 'hands more than they formerly did? tA0 A.

I have done all anybody could do for them, but it has been a hard job because they were so spoiled. Now I am expecting my own baby, and my husband is so furious that he tells me to leave—because I won't have time for his kids.' "He says I have complained about them, and I admit it; but he has not helped me with them at all. He promises me a sum of money if I will go. Honestly, I do believe he has found some other woman who will take over. "I would rather not leave my home, but what do you think is the right thing to do?

Those days, ap- parently, ore gone forever, White Horse Gets A Face-Lifting YORKSHIRE'S biggest. white horse 314 ft. long and -228 ft, high — is going to be groomed this year, He'll probably get a new, coat of lime, weighing at least six tons and it is also planned to give him a face lift. This horse, whose eye is so big that twenty people can sit on it, has been the Vale of York's largest landmark for a century. It's known as the White Horse of Kilburn, and was cut on a Hambleton hillside a hundred years ago. This amazing turf monument, carved by a village schoolmaster with the aid of thirty men, has recently shown a tendency to Slip down the hillside. This has been checked by driving hun- dreds of wood pegs into the lower edges. These reinforced, t.,, loose stones, have stopped f a"' Cher erosion. Legend says that the cair t r making the White Horse or r1.- burn, one of several giant horses carved on English r*!., was borne by one of the i.:( villagers who had made n . tune in London. Not much is known aboul t history of some of these faht:.. - tic hillside images, many c which can' be seen for miles. oldest of them all is the White "Morse of Uffington on the Berk, shire Downs which some experts believe was carved to cora- memornte the routing of the Danes by 'King Alfred in A.D. 871. An oth e r gigantic it Jrszde monument is the famous tong Man Of Wilmington, Sussex, who is 240 ft. tall and holds two' staves, One theory is that he represents e rif r ore- nation of a •Co:lot: tee:e eee, We had one awful storm. last night. 'For several hours there was continuous thunder, light- ning and rain, but fortundtely very little wind. At one time there was a terrific crack as -if something had been hit — a transformer, maybe — but the lights did not even flicker so I imagine. the 'damage was far- ther away than we thought. This morning, to look at the roads arid gardens, you would hardly know it had rained,. Perhaps it will be the last storm of the year — hope so,. anyway. Well, last week was quite a Women's Institute week fot me. On' Wednesday I was invited to attend a branch meeting in the village in Which we are now liv- ing and• of course I was quite anxious to go. While all branches have the same motto, same hand- book, same set of rules and regu- lations, same standing commit- tees, yet there is enough elas- ticity in the basic, set-up so that no two branches run their meet= ings exactly alike, or have pre- eisely'the same activities. Some branches aim at making a lot of money so they may have more to spend on worthwhile projects. Others think that financial re- turns are less important than the social and educational projects, Personally I am in 'favour of the latter type. Money-making pro- jects cannot be undertaken with- out a lot of hard work and in many branches the older mem- bers have reached the stage when catering to banquets and' such like is beyond their strength, And yet they are still quite able to be a great help in sewing,, knitting, quilting wel- fare and social work. I think when a branch plans its future activities consideration should be given to the number and age of its members, Enthusiastic young- er members may suggest cater- ing to ' banquets, or having a booth at the local fair, 'Their" willingness and energy are to be commended — what would any branch do without its young- er members? But are there enough of them to carry the bell? Will the money-making projects they are willing to sponsor be a hardship to the older rnernbere? Members, who in the years gone by. have probably had their share of hard work and active leadership, For them the time has now come to take things a little easier, And yet, can. they? A really interested W,I, worker hates to sit back while others work so she probably keeps going and does more than she should, For this reason T have been wondering lately ft an branches could riot divide their activities irk°, two basic groups — members being free to make their choke. as to which group they wish to belong.' Group I, This gioup should be responsible for the actual eVotet and planning of ell money-mak- ing activities. They would,, of course, cell en all members for contributions in the 'way of bak- ing end so forth, but not for help L int n ould keep senior members NO CONTEST The devil wag' =arways Chat. longing St. Peter to a game et baseball, but St, Peter never tools him up, Finally, the Dodg- erS, the Giants and the Yankts all went to heaNOn.

This group might he classified as a social and welfare group. They would look after bales for Children's Aid Society; making quilts for sale or to be raffled; baby-sitting for younger members assisting at banquets; small card perties.and social eve- nings; and contributions to an annual bazaar — if it is custo- mary for the branch to have an annual bazaar or sale of work. In short, older members should be given work to do that, for the main part, could be done at home or in small gatherings at a neighbour's home — thus giv- ing them a social outlet. Well, that is just an idea — take it or leave it as you wish. It came to me because I know of a number of older members who have dropped out of W.I, work because they couldn't keep up the pace Set by' the younger ones. That 'seems too bad be- cause their experience ,and guidance can be of great assist- ance to the W.I. as a whole.
