The boy is a tine lad she has
known two years, He has been
supporting an unmarried sister,

the year and then he and oer girl
want to go ahead. I am all for it.

Liza Doesn't Live

Where is Eliza Doolittle?'
Having been charmed on stage
and screen by Eliza of "PYgnia.,

Veritable"' "Mkt" eneath grimy
exterior, Fleecier girls, of Eliza
Doolittle's ilk, .are a vanishing
institution, They, are part and
parcel of a' glittering post,
It must be admitted, that Eliza
doeseet:live here•arty 'mere. She's
prohebly working in a factory
or a store,, or maybe even a
flower shop like' the one Eliza
dreamed of owning, But she no
longer wends her way through
theatre crowds, seeking a few
coppers from elegant Londoners.
When George Bernard Shaw
created Eliza in 1912, she repre-
sented a colorful segment of
London life— the flower girls
whoes pungent Cockney corn,.
punts were handed out free with
the clusters of flowers which
they sold.
But there are no youngsters
vending 'flowers today who- could
be gilded, even by Professor
Higgins, into society lilies of
elegant mien and Mayfair ac-
cent. The, ,13 flower girls still
licensed by the City Council of
the City of Westminster the
central' one of London's 28 bo-
roughs — could rather be liken-
ed to rugged, ragged robins —
who have grown old in the busi-
ness. Some of them were, in-
deed, contemporaries of Eliza
Doolittle. One of the' eight
women flower sellers still li-
censed to-sell from baskets re-
members when "Pygmalion" first
opened in London in 19114.
Two more of these veteran
flower girls are as much a part
of Piccadilly Circus as the statue
of Eros or the red buses which
circle endlessly around It. For
years they vended their flowers
from the steps below the famous
statue. Since Traffic has become
such a hazard, however, the two
eoldtimers have taken a new place
in front of the Pavilion Theatre.
Some few of the old flower
girls have acquired the diginity
of a sidewalk stall. The City of
Westminster licenses five flower
girls of this type', one of the
best-known of whom is Dinah
Wilson. Mrs. WilsOn was born
in Drury Lane more than 70
years ago, an has been selling
flowers in London streets for
,well over '50 years. Her corner
stall is across the street from
the famed St. Clement Dane's
church which sits in'the middle
of the Strand, and which the
flower girls of Londpn once
claimed as their own.
"It was a smashing church in
those old days, it was," Mrs. Wil-
son told me over the purchase
of a couple of yellow roses. "I
was married there and christened
all my children there, and before,
the war I used to go in there to
rest." The- graceful little Wren
church was bombed, and ,gutted
by fire in 1941, however, and
has remained a shell until re-
cently. It is now being restored
by Roberta Lee
Q. Is it proper to say "Yes?"
instead of "Hello," when answer;
ing the telephone?
A. Although "Hello" is the
more widely accepted manner of
answering the telephone, there's
nothing wrong with saying
"YES?" The most important
thing is a pleasant, friendly
Yoke.
Q. Would it be proper when
leaving a hospital to tip a trained
nurse who has been unusually
kind and efficient?
A.- It is better not, to do this,
Nurses belong to the profession-
al class and might resent this.
A nice gift, however, is in good
taste.
Q. May candles be uked on
the dinner table, even if they
are not to be lighted?
A. Yes; candles are always
correct on the dinner or supper
table,
Q. Is It ever proper for a lady
to assist a gentleman on with
his coat?
A. Only if he is very old,
feeble, or crippled. Otherwise,
no.
Q. If a girl has no parents and
ehe has no means of giving a
party to announce her engage-
ment, how can she make this
announcement?
A. Her best way to do this is
through the society-news page of
her local newspaper,
Q. Is It improper to blow a
spoonful of soup or coffee' before
taking it into the mouth?
A. Not if the blowing is done
very gently and inconspicuously.
Refrain from "blowing up a
storm."

I am thinking of lending it to

Well, last week I told you I
had another little Women's
Institute matter to bring to
your attention. It is this: There
is a Suggestion coming up be-
fore the next meeting of
the Board of Directors to the
effect that no member shall
belong' to more than one „branch
at any one time, and that a
Life member, moving to an-
other district, may ask to have
her membership transferred.
Previously a person could be-
long to a second branch but
with voting power only in one.
I don't think the question of
life membership. had ever been
raised, Now there must be many
members like myself — remoyed
to another district and wishing
to continue working With the

one branch and seven years ago
I was made a life member—an

months- ago I met a nice -boy

mother has learned that 'he
drinks, and has forbidden me to
see him at all. I am heartbroken.
I have met him secretly, though
and I don't like the idea.
"He has always been sweet to
me, and never misbehaved in
any way. He has asked me to
marry him, but I can't do' that

do love him, but I don't see any
way out. Do you?

Last week came to an end
with plenty of heat, humidity
and a bad electrical storm last-
ing most of Saturday night. It
rained so fast and made such a
noise I couldn't hear the sump
pump working, I had visions
of the water backing up and
flooding the basement, But I
didn't get up to 'see! Partner,
of course, was sleeping soundly
—he always says why worry
about a storm, you can't stop it.
That is very true but somehow
it isn't much comfort if - you're
lying awake listening to it. To-
day, thank goodness, the weath-
er is bright and cool, just the
kind of day I like—and good
weather to catch up on odd jobs
that have been waiting for just
such a time. Not that I wasted
much time last week, what with
canning, "jelling", knitting and
making pillow-cases for our new
hospital . . . and spending
money. Ah yes, and thereby
hangs a tale—on account of
which Partner says I make him
mad!
It's like this—one way and
another I do a lot of sewing and
several times Partner has sug-
gested that I get myself an elec-
tric sewing machine. But I al-
ways said I didn't need it, that
the machine I had still did a
good job 'Besides that it has a
sentimental value. When we
first came to Canada—that was
in 1919—we settled on the Sas-
- katcheeven prairie. We had very
little money, certainly not much
to set up house with, and a
baby on the way. Besides that
there were cows and hens to
buy before we could start mak-
ing a living There were many
things We had to do without,
and I didn't mind. But there
was one thing I was determined
to have and that was a sewing
machine,- Partner was quite
willin g because he knew I
would makegood use of it. So
we event shopping for a ma-
chine—contrary to the advice
of prairie farmer-friends with
whom we were staying, What
we bought was a table model
machine, Electric? Oh my, no!
This was a hand model type hut'
made. by a well-known com-
pany. It cost us WI That was a
terrific outlay, But I was as
happy as could be. My machine
did a wonderful job even if T
did have to. crank it by hand.
The years passed . . we
moved to Ginger Farm in On-
tario — . and at some time
Was given an old treadle ma-
chine, The head wasn't as good
as my hand model, But one cla'
I had a brain wave;. I took oft
the hand-gear, wittlal out the
well on the old stand, got a belt
and fitted my own machine on
to the treadle stand, It worked
like a charm and for years did
all kinds of sewing for our own
family, for the and the
Hed Cross. 'Teti yea4 age 1 had
