Made of cherry red chintz it has black braid to set off the white ruffles at the neck, shoulders and hem. The sur- plice top ties in a bow sash at the back. VIII011•111.441 Household Hints By MRS.

Britain's. New Government When the late William Morris, re- doubtable socialist poet, wrote his re- markable poem entitled "England Arise;" wistfully hopeful that the gloom then prevalent, might some day be dispersed, and that "beauty and mirth" might replace it, he must have dimly foreseen such a revolution, the beginnings of which, staged in the re- cent British election are so palably en- visaged in the results thereof, The first verse of his poem runs as follows: (I quote from memory) "England arise, the long long night is over, Faint on the East behold the dawn ap- pears: Out of your evil dream of toil and sorrow Arise, oh England for the clay is here." And now, verily, England has arisen, and the day is here or .near.

For, look you, oppression is going to be suppressed, villiany deposed, subterfuge destroyed, and the opportunity of a wholesome, fruitful life for all, established beyond doubt and without the possibility of recall. Britain will soon be a real Co- operative Commonwealth in which humanity will have a distinct and de- finite value over money. All commentators of any note on the election results have conceded that a new era is being ushered in and they are mostly seemingly disposed to wel- come it. There are some however, who are declaring, as a result of pitiful ignorance, that the defeat of the Con- servative party is the greatest calamity Britain has been confronted with. To those who bewail the defeat of Church- ill and his party I would say it is very unwise to judge a party before it has attempted to do anything. Wait and see what the Labor party will do. On its fruits base your judgment of it. James Webster. Wingham, Ontario. Kitty: "I just came from the beauty parlour." Katty: "Too bad they were closed."

Swiss chard is sometimes attacked by the blister beetle. These beetles, will completely skeletonize the leaves as they feed together in swarms. Good control of this pest can be obtained by spraying the plants with pyrethrum as. soon as the beetles appear, The beet- les must be hit by the spray, however,. for it kills by paralyizing them.
