Men's Trousers - Outcome of Revolt Revolutions and men's trou- sers would appear to have little in common but, in fact, it was the French revolution which sparked the wearing of long trousers. Until that time, the French courtiers were the ack- nowledged leaders of men's fashions and they wore knee - breeches and long stockings. However, once the revolution had taken place, the man in the street started to enjoy his new- found freedom, and one way he expressed his political views was by the color and cut of his clothes. Pantaloons and stockings were worn by men of the mid- dle class and quite often they How flameless electric heating makes all other heating systems out of date! • It's the world's safest heating system --completely flameless, • It's cleaner than any other heating system—cannot create dust, smoke, soot or dirt of any kind. • You get custom -comfort in every room—electric heating offers you a separate thermostat in each room. • Easy to install—no furnace or fuel tank. • No annual maintenance costs — nothing to clean, no filters to replace, electric heating is truly a carefree system.

Lail your qualified electric heating contractor or: LIVE BETTER ELECTRICALLY were trimmed with vivid stripes in the new national colors -blue, white and red. The poorer classes were also eager to wear something symbolic and they started to wear pantaloons reaching down to their ankles, thus saving the cost of stockings These pantaloons had a broad flap buttoning up at either side, and they were frequently secur- ed with attractively decorated braces crossed over the chest. Indeed, their wearers were sometimes scoffed at and dub- bed as "sans culottes" and for years they were considered "in- decent". Nevertheless the fash- ion persisted and pantaloons be- came the forerunner of men's pants - or trousers - as we now know them. At the present time, almost every man and boy in Canada wears trousers, or casual slacks, and many of them are made from fabrics that are strictly twentieth century. Through the careful blending of a modern man-made fibre with wool, for example, a cloth can be woven which resists wrinkles and re- tains its crease, in addition to being comfortable and warm to wear. Of course, there were other drastic changes in the clothes worn by Frenchmen around the end of the 18th century, such as the "carmagnole", a short jacket with a roll collar and metal buttons, but it's interest- ing to note that long trousers Create Unusual Christmas Gifts Christmas is a wonderful time, for people with original- ity to be creative. There are so many gifts that can be made which not only mean more to the recipients but also can cut down the usual December ex- penses. Inexpensive fabric can be the magic ingredient that gives a distincitve look to your gifts.. Gay checked cotton gingham, for instance, makes an unusual frame for a group of pictures. Use simple floral prints clipped from a magazine for your pic- tures. Then take pieces of hardboard or plywood about four to six inches larger than each picture, and cover with ging- ham in a color that harmonizes or contrasts pleasantly with the main colors in the picture. The fabric can be glued to the board or stapled on the wrong side. Glue your picture in the center of the board. As throw pillows have come back in favor recently, anyone handy with a needle could easi- ly snake an interesting selection of these. Made in cotton, it is highly recommended that you slipcover them — this way they can easily be laundered. were the only "revolutionary" garment that remained a per- manent part of the European male costume. It has been said that womerts fashions change by revolution - while men's change by evolu- tion, but the history of men's trousers would seem to contra- dict that statement! imaginative Gift Wrapping Adds to the Fun A big part of the fun of Christmas is wrapping gifts, and wrapping them with imagina- tion. You can find unusual and inexpensive gift wrap ideas around the house, especially in your sewing room. For instance, a scrap of black cotton velve- teen and black lace trite make elegant wrappings for a sophis- ticate's gift. To please a very feminine lady, wrap her gift in pastel paper and lavishly trite with cotton eyelet ruffles, rib- bon and lace appliques. For a gift of early Canadiana, use cotton ticking or bright red cali- co alfco as wrapping material, Tie up the package with strands of red ball fringe or cotton rick- rack. For a woman who sews, wrap a box of Christmas cookies in a cotton print fabric which can be made into kitchen towels or pot holders later. Use rickrack to tie up the box, and attach spools of thatching thread to the bow arrangement. If your gift is for the bath... fragrant soap or bath salts... wrap it in a cotton terry cloth and towel. One of the new floral -printed styles could be used to wrap a matching towel ensemble. Wrap each gift to suit the contents or the person who re- ceives it, and you'll add anex- tra measure of thoughtfulness to the simplest present. You'll be happier if you are necessary to somebody. tgi}t (tr'ea`sure.. PHILIPS PORTABLE RECORD PLAYER the ideal gift for anyone!
