Miss 'Ethel Chapman happened to give her my name as she thought 1 would look,after her which 1-did, 1 took her to the Scotch 13lock W,I. -- of which I am proud to be a charter member. It, was at Oakville one of those meet- ings where there was a lot of business with plenty of co-op- eration from the members. My guest was made very welcome and willingly got to her feet and told us how W.I. meetings were conducted in England, and of their work and activities. She seemed so pleased to have vis- ited one of our branches and we gave her various printed pro- grammes to take back with her. I hope the occasion will' serve as a pleasant contact between mother and daughter branches of the W,I. in both countries. I have some other ideas along these lines but they must wait for another week. 1.10.tag, tamii.ty Co-11.44shacIt The devil was always ch4I ienging St. Peter to a game a baseball, but St. Peter never took him up, Finally, the.

Royal Artists What a really "AV al" iicaclerny Birtain could have if it included contributions from. all, the artists in the Royal Family, a .famous London artist remarked the other day, He was. commenting on the news that the Duke of Edinburgh recently received some tips on painting from an artist who was painting his portrait, and has now added painting to his various hobbies,. Also becoming more and more interested in painting is Frio-. cess Alexandre, who may well , have inherited the Jalent for painting of her mother, the . Duchess of Kent. The Duchess has been painting — and paint- ing well — since she was. a child. Whenever possible she spent week-ends painting in the gar- den of her beautiful house in Buckinghamshire.: Another clever Royal artist is the Duchess of, Gloucester who, an expert assures us has done some very fine landscapes and portraits. A tiny landscape which she once painted in Kenya fetch- ed £131 at a London sale-room, The money went to a charity, The late Queen Mary executed some attractive water colours. She also had a flair for doing architectual sketches, being able to transfer swiftly to paper her happy memories 'of beautiful - buildings she had visited here and abroad. It is possible that Princess Anne may develop a flair for art as she grows up. Some time ago the Queen Mother commis sioned a woman artist to draw a portrait of the Princess as a present for the Queen. During the sittings Princess Anne show- ed keenness to experiment in drawing. With the artist's guid- ance, she drew a sketch of a cat. Then the little Prnicess made an '- attempt to draw the artist her- self. ,You, feele ',Anne Hirst, that my story will.

Is it true that women are shaking hands more than they forinerly did? A. Although society still does not require it, women are shak- ing hands more than they used to. And I'm all in favor of it. Nothing can take the place of a sincere handclasp when meet- ing a friend or acknowledging an introduction. Q. Should' birth announce- ments be mailed to everyone, including those whom you have already told over the telephone? A. No; only to friends and relatives whom you have not told, Q. Should toothpicks be placed on the dinner table? A. Certainly not! Since it is not good form to be seen using a toothpick in public, they do not have any place on the table. Q. What are some suggestions for appetizers at a 'cocktail party? A. Simplest, of course, are peanuts, olives, pretzels, , and cheese craclaees. 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- ., her of the wedding party? A. Thisiw'ould be quite proper. Q. What is the difference be-, tween a formal and' informal tea? 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:* corner. on their feet for hours at a time. Group 2. This group might be 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 parties 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; •tilder reenibers should be given work to do that, for the main part, ,could. be done at . home or in small gatherings at a neighbour's hqme thus giv- ing them a social outlet. ,Well, that is jiist an idea — take it dr leave it as you wish. It came to me because I know of a number of older members who have dropped out of W.1. 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. Now I must tell you of an- We had one awful storm last night. For several hours there was continuous thunder, light- ning and rain, but fortunately very little wind. At one time there was =a terrific crack as if 'something had been hit — a transformer, Maybe — hut the ,lights did 'not even flicker so I imagine the damage, .was far- ther away than we thought. This morning, to Iook at the' roads and gardens, 'you would 'hardly -know it, had rained.' Perhaps ,it will be the last storm of the year — hope so, aeyway. Well, last week was quite a Women's Institute week for 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- cisely 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 nrojects. 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 therrie to carry the ball? Will the money-making projects they are willing to sponsor be a hardship to the older members? Members, who in the years gone by, have probably had their share of hard work and active leadership. For them the time has now corrie td take things a little caSier, 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, Per this reason t Itave been 'wondering lately' if all branches could riot divide their activities itItO two basic groups therniedes being free to Make their choice. as to Which grotip they wish to belong, Group 1, this group should 'be responsible for the actual work and planning of all riconey,iriak« trig activities.

'ISSUE 4h, — 1957 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.
