ISSUE 33 — 1958 • in all walks of life a man *RS up traits from his Asso- ciates. The man of character is at home with men of the same type; the weakling with zoo mora,1 or intellectual re sources follows where others lead, and then blames them for his lapses. The same applies to dating. As you put it, a cheap man is at home with cheap girls. Others, like yourself, accept no substitute for goodness: Their service routine bores them now arid then hut they snap out of it, they have too much self-respect to go hay- wire, While they wait for the girl they dream of, they take advantage of the extra train- ing and education and decent entertainment the service of- * fers. * Stick to your standards, sol- dier.

The first time it was because he was running about town with another girl. He promised even-- thing if I would come back, so did. "It was the same story. I went to see the girl, and I was nice to her: she gave me her word she would never see him again . . . But she told him of my visit, and evidently exagger- ated quite a bit. He started mis- treating me terribly, and I fin- ally grew so afraid of him phy- sically that I left. again • . "I honestly believe I have done my part.

Never before have women been so timid about new styles, so doubtful about the tried and true fashions, Happily, for Fall 1958, adaptations of the new, relaxed tines are proving .so wearable and irresistible that women -- and yes, men, too — are satisfied with the newer looIc. Now, at last, you can make UP for lost time — sure that the dress you sew will not be so radical as to be out of date in a short time or will be criticized as unflattering. Here are a few important guide posts: Hems will be short- er, but skirts will net be tapered to their former unmovable tight- ness as introduced last season, The degree of shortness is up to you — only an inch higher from the floor, or more, if you find it flattering. Generally speaking, lines are fluid and a little more flowing. This means they are often fitted over the bust and waist belted, as often as not. The shirtwaist dress is enjoying — and all those who wear it, too — a fine dis- tinction even among the higher stylized silhouettes. New collars stand away from the neck, new yokes give interest to the bodice. No Fall Fashion report would be complete without mention of jumpers. This season, pockets— either the patch or slit type — are used to emphasize the fluid lines. Wear your jumper belted or unbelted as you prefer. A new note is to pick up a color of the jumper for the blouse. If a green and blue paid is used, make the blouse in green or blue. If a solid color is se- lected, complement it with a contrasting color or a print. Now for the new Fall fabrics. In the high style bracket — and with the higher price tags, too — are mohair and alpaca. Next are the woollen knits. Some are novelties which look almost like hand knitted. Others, like the jerseys, are printed in floral or geometric designs. Yes, print- ed woolens and woolen mixtures are big news- right now. This does not mean that' they over- shadow those wonderful fall cot- tons that have the look of woolens and the practical fea- tures of cotton. Colors in these fabrics are, a delight. Blues are in the lead — bright to navy. Reds range frorh scarlet to Calypso pink. The new brown has warm russet-red tones. The greens are both bright .- and dark. There are so many, shades you will have no trouble in making a selection. , l From all this news, there are really only three things to re- member in planning your dress- making in order to have it suc- cessful. First, make sure that the style you select is becoming. Second; think of what you. look best in — what color dress brought you the most compli- ments. Choose a new Fall shade in the color you wear the. best. Then with the style and color selected, turn your attention to the third and very important. consideration of "what type, of fabric is .right for your dress.

I am referring to the new crisis in .the Middle East. History re- peats itself ,so often. Remember how Hitler brought things to a head just after Chamberlain had reassured the Western world by h i s "peace-in-our-time" pro- nouncement? Now, with the U.S. in particular hoping for great things from the proposed Sum- mit Talks, Nasser obviously has ether plans. Remember, too, when Sir Anthony Eden said. time would probably prove his policy had been right in connec- tion with the Suez crisis? Such times as we live in!

The Queen, under the weather, and Princess Margaret attract- ing interest and affection oil her travels through Canada. Presi- dent Eisenhower's visit to Can., ada also attracted a good deal of attention on 'both sides ryf the border — some of it, contro- versial. Yes, all these important things are taking niece and yet how little of it is in evidence. The effects are not nearly so obvious as the afterniath of a storm. Last Thursday's' storm for instance Wes quite apectecttlar while it lasted, I was alone. I had all the doors and windows open When suddenly the wind and rain struck With tremendous force. Before I could get around to shut• up the house the rain had come through the back 'eaten door and was flooding the hall ,and running downstairs to the hese- /pent. I hegee to wonder how Partner' was faring oh the farm 10 miles away, When he came hottia that night he said there hadn't been any rain at all. Queer, how freakish the weather can be. The rain was very welcome. Since then we have picked peas, •beans and beets, from our garden —for ourselves, our two families and some of our neighbours. Sur-, prising what one can get from one small garden. Just to keep life from getting dull we have had more cat trouble. Ditto disappeared Wed • nesday night. Generally she comes on the run when I call her. But not this time. We final- ly had to go to bed but left the garage door open hoping she would take refuge there dur- ing the night. With so many dogs around I nat.-many felt un- easy. Next morning, no Ditto. By, 6.30 I was out calling and look- ing for her, trailing through vacant lots thick with poison ivy.

Laura arid family were going to North Bay next morning for two weeks and asked if I would take care of their kitten—the kitten being Ditto's daughter! " Well, they brought Winkey down and such spitting and swearing I never heard. Blood is thicker than water, so they say, but ap- parently that truism doesn't ap- ply to cats — or at any rate kittens. Ditto was soon friend- ly but not Winkey. NOW after three days, she is still using bad language, even though ma, them and daughter chase each Other in play around the house.
