As a matter of interest, to
me if -to no one else, I
found out this week that
April 9 is a very special
day. It is the anniversary
of the first buttonhole, first
developed in -the mid -
1200's. (Odd that anyone
could be so certain of the
day since the calendar has
been changed since the t) However, be that as it may, the but-
tonhole is now official' over 700 'years old. Buttons have
beenaround a ghat deal longer than the humble buttonhole, in
fact archaeologists have found prehistoric ones made of bone.
The Creeks and Romans used buttons for decoration and fas-
-tatrers, but the Europeans used them 610y - lbr decoration.
String. pins and belts were used as fasteners. After the inven-
tionof the buttonholes, however, buttons became very decora-
.tive.and were often covered in jewels.
'Won buttons and buttonholes first became popular, people
whowore them were considered to have loose morals because
'they cOlfld `pct'out of their clothes so much more quilddy! (Do
mtrrttlity Bhouldbelstnned-on lhe-zip=
per??) In England, a law was passed to prevent lower class
people from wearing fancy buttons, Somepeople say that the
buttons on the cuffs of men's coat were added so that they
could not usetheir sleeves to wipe their mouths!
Men's and women's clothing have buttons and buttonholes
on the opposite sides. There are a couple of theories about the
origin of that. When .buttonholes were invented, most men
dressed themselves, so that the left over right position was
most convenient for the majority of right handed society. At
the same time, most women who could afford buttons and but-
tonholes had maids .to help them dresi and they were placed
for the maids' convenience. Another possible explanation for
the placement of buttons and buttonholes on a man's coat had
to do with the fact that he could use his left hand to open his
coat while drawing his sword with his right.
In honour of this momentous occasion, 1 now offer to you a
recipe shared with me by one of my co-workers which I "but-
tonholed" my husband into trying. (He will tell me in no un-
certain terms if he likes something or not!) and he gave it a
very favourable review.
Anniversary Cake
Prepare a white cake mix m a well greased and floured 9 x
13 pan, following package directions.
Allow to cool for 15 minutes. Do not remove from pan. Poke
with a large fork at 1t2 inch intervals. prepare a gelatin mix
(any flavour, I used raspberry) and pour it over the cake. Chill
3-4 hours.
jIcing
Prepare Dream whip or any other whipped topping. Prepare
a vanilla instant pudding mix using only one cup of milk. Mix
these together and spread over the cake.

Want to loweryour
Electric Heating Bill and
add Air Conditioning?
Consider a Heat Pump.
If your home is heated electri-
cally, and you're thinking of
adding air conditioning, .take a
look at heat pumps.
Many people have heard of
heat pumps but aren't quite sure
what they are or what they do.
Quite simply, heat pumps use
the same kind of technology as
refrigerators. A fridge doesn't
make cold air. It pumps out the
warm air, leaving the inside of
the fridge cool.
A heat pump works the same
way in the summer, it takes the
heat out of your house to air con-
dition it. in the winter it reverses
itself to extract the heat from the
outside air and transfer it into
your house. (Even in winter. thew
is lots of Katt in the air.)
On top of all this. a heat
pumpwlil cut your electric heat-
ing bill by up to 30%. Unlike
traditional heating systems, a heat
pump doesn't consume energy
to' uce heat. It needs energy
ony for its fans and compressor.
