Can Feed Family of 10
On $34.04 Weekly
The Nova Scotia health depart-
ment has issued a booklet telling
how to feed a family of ten for
as little as $34.04 per week and
still follow 'Canada's food rules,
Dr. Juanita H. Archibald, divi-
sion director, said "the nutrition-
ists show that for every dollar
spent wisely on food the careless
buyer can spend as much as two
dollars for the same food value,"
A sample menu for a week starts
thus for the first day: Breakfast •
grapefruit, bran flakes, poached
eggs, toast, jam, milk and coffee;
luncheon or supper—cottage cheese,
graham wafers, salad greens, oat-
meal cookies and milk; dinner---•
roast pork, baked potatoes, .boiled
carrots, butterscotch pie, milk, tea
or coffee.
Meat is suggested for five days
a week. Wednesday is traditionally
reserved for baked beans and Fri-
day is fish day.

African violets but that is not
true. Water at a temperature much
below or much above room temper-
ature is likely to be harmful, but
not water at room temperature or
just a little above, Apply the water
as a fine spray. Do not allow direct
rays of the sun to reach the plants
until the foliage has dried.

Child ren -Like the
Grown-up Look
In Their Shoes
Children's shoe fashions for
spring and summer are keeping
right in step with the important
trends in grown-up patterns.
Gone are the days of the heavy
soled shoes. Now, youngsters have
a wide variety for every occasion
to choose from, with styling com-
bined with proper construction for
growing feet.
With the trend in adult. shoe
fashions very definitely on the
slimmer,- sleeker look, children's
shoes too have followed suit and
have taken on a new simplicity in
style.
The sloppy look is out. The
smarter, trimmer, neater look is
in, and. it appears that the story
for boys and girls alike is one of
dressing up ,gather than dressing
down.
One of the predominant styles for
wear this coming season - is the
single instep strap shoe. This style
-has been slimmed down with decor-
ative detailing small and delicate.
Shell ,pumps too, cut low, 'giving
a really bare look to. 'the foot, will
be another popular style for spring
through summer wear, Often these
shell. pumps appear abeelittelY
plain, giving a real sleek appear-
ance. Then again, they aro often
dressed up with the addition of a
grosgrain button or two, or a little
tailored buckle.
On black shoes, particularly pa-
tent leather, white stitching is used
to great extent in effective designs
which add slimness to the foot,
Two-toned shoes, mostly in the
single instep strap style are in the
news. For semMer wear there are
such combinations as white and
pale blue, or white and pink and
other pastel shades. Open toes ate
in the fashion spotlight, as' is the
assymnletrical look, usually achiev-
ed by the skillful combination of
two leathers of contrasting color,

New .Prospects for
Interior Decorators
A softer, mote elegent decor ia
forecast for home interiors in 1650.
This subdued atmosphere has solv-
ed the problem of many home-
makers today—making small rooms
look larger,
In daily color do-ordinating dem-
onstrations at the homemaker show
in Toronto recently, it was official-
ly made known that color stylists
are adding width and length to
small rooms by - using light, one-
color themes throughout a trio of
rooms. This "sweep of color," as
the experts call it, is varied by
changing the design and textures
of the wallpaper in each room.
For example, one color stylist in
her daily show chose biege as the
basic color to illustrate her point,
For the hall, she used a contem-
porary-patterned paper, Wander-
lust. The cinnamon brown back-
grOund is accented with gold. The
living room walls are covered with
a rich, fabric-texture. Two beige
tones were selected by the stylist
for 'the dining room; the Whisper-
ing pattern with a soft, miniature
leaf design in light beige tones is
offset by medium beige basic
shade.
The wallpaper itself offers en
tirely new prospects for the ama-
teur decorator. Already pasted,
these papers were desigped for the
do-it-yourself home decorator, The
pasting is eliminated; paper-hang-
ing novices attending the show'
found it easy to handle and apply.
A carton of water and such house-
hold items as a pair of scissors
and a cellulose sponge are all the
materials needed to hang pre-past-
ed wallpapers. In fact, a housewife
doesn't even have to wear an apron
to wallpaper her home!
The slim dress • and slim coat
pair up for elegant spring en-
emble - duty, making for some in-
teresting and attractive costumes.
This twosome consists of a cardi-
gan coat all over embroidery in
beige or brown' and a slim dress
of black sheer woe]. The coat, of
course, is wonderful to wear over
many, things and is most attrac-
tive. The dress . goes in for

and has nice pocket detail with
seaming continuing uP, to the
