Aussies Will Weave Cloak for Princess An all wool Australian cloak is to be presented to Princess Elizabeth, as part of her wedding trousseau— :I gift from 84,000 rehabilitation trainees in Sydney. The cloak is now being designed and woven by a special team of trainees, from 18 yards of the finest merino wool, supplied by the Aus- tralian Wool Board. It will take two months to complete and will be the work of six weavers, three dress- makers, two jewelers, a designer, and fabric painter in gold and silver threadwork. The cloak will be ice blue in col- or, interwoven with threads of Aus- tralian silver. It will carry a waratah, an Aus- tralian bush flower, worked in threads of Australian gold, and on the shoulders will be six gold orna- ments in an aboriginnl motif, STUFF AND THINGS "1111 night long 1 hear a voice —My wife's!" c Young Actress B. et HORIZONTAL VERTICAL 1 Pictured child 1 Tangle screen star, = 2 Operatic solo 3 Send in 11 Exist payment 12 British school 4 Peruse 5 Et cetera 13 24 hours (ab,) 14 Duration 6 2000 pounds 16 Skirt disease 7 Individuals 17 Mercury (ab) 8 Perfect 18 Pointed El 0 Aristocrat 10 New York weapon City (ab.) 20 Rob 15 Send forth 22 Point 17 Encounter 23 Relative (ab.) 24 Palm lily 25 Near 26 Tungsten (ab.) 27 Negative 29 Standard of value 30 Age 32 Bargain events 34 Listens 36 Os 37 Dislike intensely 40 Sneer '42 Beverage 43 Smell 44 Born 45 She fs ono o4 the youngest oY—w A"Ntrrr to ore Son" POW r D I V I S I ON ENACT RR"77S END,4;;;ERNi1bA I FON TOLL S;?*L ]E AN L,1),', 0RTStt 1 TaR M NGS ,NSeNtsr ONES Clea Ng - DG BDG 80Th TR`—`-" CHA P DIVISIONR 1 DE$ =0NSit.,ERI E.••'"DAM AMT;;:YRENTAL-Il:SRo KAT, PAN,a:ER I Tq�;EC PSALM LANDM•ARI< connoisseur so tg 33 Performance 34 Flock 35 Soothsayer 36 Exclamation. 38 Excitement. 39 Also 91 Things (Latin) 21 One who trains 26 Story 28 Verbal 29 Saddle pad 31 Sports stadi tm 32 lndividual Small Scrubbers for Small Elephant—Elephant washing, us,tl- ally considered to be a big job, doesn't really amount to much when the elephant in question is "Baby Brookfield."

Clarke This is the year I've been waiting for—yes, this is the year—with ber- ries in the bush hanging red and ripe whichever way one looks. \\'c haven't had such good picking for several years as we are having right now. And believe me, I am snaking the most of it. Everything else is being neglected, or at most reduced to minimum requirements. Any time now I ant expecting to hear sounds of exasperation fro+n my menfolk because 1 ant afraid their supply of mended socks must be just about exhausted. Probably they will say—"Darn those socks' —in which case I too, may say "Darn those socks" only not quite with the same meaning. Of course we are enjoying our usual run of summer guests—and 1 mean enjoy—but they, too, are being drawn into my scheming toils like helpless flies in a spider's web —my web being the raspberry patch. to which they are enticed and given a pail and a pair of overalls. I night add they are rising to the occasion magnificently. * * * Last week my sister-in-law and I made our first visit to the bush. It was more of an inspection trt;t than anything else as 1 wasn't at all sure that the berries were ready. So we wandered around in the bush quite a bit, picking here and there, but with no intention of staying very long.

During our wandering I asked my sister-in-law if she were scared and what she would do if we were really lost. "Nothing at all," she answered, "I would just sit here until some- one carte to find us. And I cer- tainly was not scared," * t * Since that trip there have been others. Twice John carte with inc and I was relieved of all anxiety— also the job of carrying the big berry pail. Today Second Niece and f, along with a neighbour, went picking on our own. And what a great picking we batt.
