When attending a church • wedding and the usher places you 1n a seat where you haven't a good view, isn't it all right to Change your seat? A. No. The usher probably has his instructions as to seating, and you should remain where you are seated in order to avoid any possible confusion, 4t. Is it all right, when dining In a public room, to wipe off the eating utensils with. the napkin? A. Never! If one notices that the utensils are not perfectly j clean, one should -always call the attention, of the waiter to this and have them exchanged for clean ones. • Q. Is it proper for a business Juan to rise when a woman visi- tor enters his office? A. Busy though he might be, j the man can certainly afford to ! rise when a woman visitor en- ters. He does not rise, however, j if the woman is an employee of his eempany, Q. What is the order of races- sion at the end of a church wed- ding? A. Just the reverse of the en- trance of the wedding party. The bride and bridegroom should 1 e a d, followed by bridesmaids and ushers, • Q.

In the first three years of the National Health Service, orders flowed so fast that ;the fele es- tablished businesses were swamp- ed, But they made over '31,000 new wigs for medical prescrip- tions, 7!'o -day, the perruquiers lave caught up with the baok-log, and for National Health ` patients alone they turn out some 4110 Wigs of various styles, shapes, end - subtlety each month. Mainly for Women Most of 'these head -coverings, which are normally associated with bald mein, are, ill. feet, made for women, it is said, Human hair is used in this ancient craft, and most of at cordes from Italy. The long- haired girls of the mountain vil- lages barter their tresses for cloth and dress material, Husbands and families, if they ;are' lucky, bene- fit in the way of casks of wine and home furnishings, Sitting at a cafe- in a village piazza, the human hair collector sips a drink as ;,hg watches the girls go by. He* has no interest in tate pretty face, the light 'step, or the shapely figure. His eyes are on the hair. When he notes a lovely mass of 'crowning glory, then begins the delicate and tactful task of 1 finding where the young lady lives and opening the bargain' The whole business: is conduc ed on a barter system. Mo means little, and never erste the conversation, A novel Source of human .h is from the nunneries and con vents, When novices take the v their hair is cropped; To -day is sold to the human .hair c lector. Prices vary according to c ill our, texture, and length, Ta price is -just over, $20 per ours for the fine, curly, silver -whit hair, the rarest kind, i Wigs Cure Colds I Back in Britain the hairs are i knotted one strand at a time into a hair -lace base, with a tiny hook. Most of the wig -makers are I women, earning £2—£3 weekly while apprenticed—usually' for 't three years—their pay rising to 1 £8—£10 per week when skilled. 1 It might not occur to you .to ' cure a headaane, by wearing a wig. But a:doctor confirms that types df ;headaches ar caused by a permanent! cold "o top," and they may be eased of cured with a well -fitted wig. 1 Hair-raising Trick 1 Then, again, many a comedian j owes his success to a fantasti wig. One of them asked a wig maker to devise a trick wig tha swelled into a bump when he ; was hit on the head. Circus clown iCoco has a wig that causes roars of laughter when a section of it stands on end. In 1949, when the Health Scheme was new, it was esti- ; mated that at least 100,000 Bri. 1 tons were part -_ or whole -- bald-pated, So there are prospects of many more years of prosperity for the perruquiers, MOlt9 DOES THE SPENDING T; s", iR ON 1 t,,,t e i '' ,2ndolir,e P C1 i'kp Last Wedtteschlat this:: district, in.company with many other districts, all the way front Tor- onto to Niagara, ,experienced a terrific electrical 'storm lasting several hours. For oar an : hour' I watched , dark, forbidding elands gather in the east' and I was feryentiy hoping Partner would be through milking be- fore the storm broke,_ Suddenlyy the cows GG began bawling, Are thbe, I wondered? they shouldn't one of the heifers,with her head caught in the' fence again? I -ran out t0 investigate but there was noth- ing wrong that I could see, So I went down the barn - may- be Partner would know what all the bawling was about. He did. "it is Jane," he said, "with a new calf, out in the back pas- ture. We shall have to get her home — can't leave her all night Without being milked, not in the shape she is . in — too much chance of milk fever." 1 ,said nothing, although I was almost petrified,.Go after a cow and'ebif' and the storm likely , to break, any minute! But you know how it it — a good farmer thinks first, of his livestock — and for a job like that two people are better than one, So presently we were out in the.pasture, I watch- ing the clouds which Partner didn't seein to see at all, Jane soon led us to the back of the field where she had hidden her ing. calf. Then began the slow jour- t- I neje home, Partner driving Jane Mot I and the calf" ahead of him rs I except when they decided other- • wise — and I keeping back the air ' Heifers and dry cows that were also in the same pasture.: As soon eil as . we were in the back lane it 1 cows from the other field came ol- Iracing over:to the lane fence': to investigate, You never heard of - such a bawling setout. Finally p we got Jane home, and, after ce much twisting and turning, Into e I the stable, . with the calf close beside tier, Then I left Partner with the sweet job of milking Jane while I `headed ' for tfie house, Before I reached it thun- der was cracking sharply over- head. and the rain came down • in sheets. It almost seemed as if Providence had held back the storm until our job was done. The next morning • , . field fl odgd,, creek running swift and strong like a • spring freshet, tree limbs scattered here and e . there; on some' farms bridges it j and culverts had.been Washed I away and a few hydro trans- formers had been blown out, 01 course we had hay out — a big field cut but not raked, 2n fact c the alfalfa in this one field is so t heavy it will be enough t0 see t 1 us through the winter — IF we can get It in. But that is a big "If," in fact farming these days 1 is one big if after another. But , there is still hope of farmers making out all right if wo, can keep our overhead 'down. And that is the biggest "if" of all. 1 With labour costs and capital in- Vestment so high the margin of profit is naturally very slim. Wheat going down and bread 1 going up is another little prob- tem that is hard to fathom. Yes, 1 know the answer can be found in world trade agreements, and M the U.S. embargo on dairy products, but it- all invol edto average farm folk —_ , and so little we can do about, it 1 — except to keep dawn that overhead. But how? The ur- gency to get things done has taken the place of everyday economy; saving time has be- come more important than sav- ing money, if you know what I mean. That is, we often spend a lot of money to save a little Those strings the Mrs. leads the Mr. around on are purse strings, according to the latest figures. If you are an e woman you spend almost 6 times more than your husband of the money he earns. You buy 62% of all hardware; 84% of drugs; 90% of autos! 98% of household supplies; 77% of sporting. goods, 97% of groceries; and 61% of men's haberdashery, inceeping se with modern. et rods of p±2 ring Is also an. e peilslde bu, u the Oshawa distrelassict isFur planninginsta.ce, a hulk illc collection system, The 'ln1tti'a .cost to the producer fax Ktti ' ens so that he can take run fromeof $1,000 to $2,200, In e ad- clition farm lanes and loading Yards must be put in good con- n h 16,000 pounditiod ttoank-trpclraccomodate necessaryto for collecting the milk. One official agreed the benefit to the small shipper would hardly make up for the investment required. So what happens to the small shipper? Then we have the pro- posed Co-operative Milk Sur- plus Plan at Toronto, the esti- mated cost of which is $250,000. Come on, Bssies, if you want anything to do with that milk plant you had better get busy, It will take a lot of milk to finance an undertaking like that, How- ever, it may be that more cream will soon be bought by Mrs. Housewife, "If" an experiment now underway in the U.S. should prove successful —. that i5, dried cream powder, which they claim is as good as fresh cream, when mixed with water; and of course it solves the problem of keeping cream sweet, So Perhaps the Milk Stipples Plant will borrow the idea and put dried cream the idea and put dried cream powder on the Canadian:. mar- ket before the chain stores start importing it from the States.
