After splashing around in Toronto without rubbers, raincoat or um- brella, by four-o'clock I was fed up! phoned home to make sure everything was all right, spent the night with Daughter and resumed business the next morn- ing — or tried to. That day it not Only rained, it hailed as well, and the wind was terrific. As I came out of Eaton's Col- lege street store, a miniature whirlwind lifted my hat from my head, twirled it along the pavement for awhile, and then playfully hid it under a parked car, well out of reach, A gallant gentleman came to the rescue and by means of a rolled -up newspaper, managed to retrieve my headgear. Later I was on Yonge below Wellington, where trucks, graders, compressors and other road machinery was at work. The sidewalk was blocked off leaving one narrow roadway for pedestrians and traffic so I had to pick my way among the aforesaid machinery. Later I was at Arthur's office and his sister said — "Wherever have you been? One side of your face and neck is all black streaks." That really made me happy, But of course there were some bright spots in by two dull days. The first day I was ata lunch- eon meeting and had the privi- lege of meeting and hearing a gentleman I have always great- ly admired — via the radio -- Leonard Leonard Brockington, He spoke only briefly but in five minutes he said more than most people could say in an hour. If only more radio personalities had his speaking ability. The second dey I had lunch with a friend of long standing, followed by two fact-finding hours in the Reference Library. And of course at Dee's place there was our grandson — eleven months old today. He is not yet walking, except in his playpen, which is just as well as he is a very big -built baby with plenty of weight t0 carry around. But the fact that he isn't walking doesn't keep him from getting to wherever he wants to go. He navigates Hat on his tummy-, arms and Legs going like a frog in water. May- be he'll be another champion swimmer! Every time I see him he has added a few more items to his bag of tricks. What babies will do to attract attention. A visitor, 14 - months - old Robin, was put in the playpen with David the other day. They had a great time together u n ti l David picked up his stuffed bunny and used it to whack Robin over the head` That evening I left David and his parents; Toronto and its noise, rain and traffic.: and came home by train. The comfort of home Life was never more ap- preciated than it was that night. Then came Saturday — a beautiful day. Partner and I headed for our local fair which as usual had plenty of attrac- tions for town and country alike. What always amazes me is the Fashion Hints AN ELEGANT VERSION of the perennially favorite crepe dress by Deja of Montreal. This in cocoa brown is a fabric woven of acetate and viscose by Bruck Mills.

HAPPEN THAT NO ONE -CAN EXPLAIN The tall, attractive young wo- man suddenly stopped as her male escort opened the gate leading up to the rambling old house. She clutched at her throat and swayed. "Ive got such a funny 'feel- ing," she told tile ' man. "It's just as if I have lived this Very moment before: you opening the gate and the two of us walk- ing to the house." "But that can't be, Jenfiiter." he said. "You've never 'been to 13edruth or even to Cornwall, before." Yet in another^minute the girl described accurately 'the inter- ior of the two-storyed house, even to a picture hanging on the Wall in one of the rooms! When they entered the house and the man saw everything that his. wife had described, he turned cold with fright and hur- ried her away, flatly refusing to consider buying Abe house even at the low figure set on it. Such uncanny experiences are net rare, yet there hasnever been a satisfactory explanation for them other than the super,- natural uper*natural or that the person has visited the place in some other Life. Most of us have at some time or another had that same feeling of "having been here be- fore." But we ere at a loss to explain it. The case of Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Ferriday, of Bolton, who went to view the house in Corn- • wall, is typical. The experience of Miss' Joan Kennedy, of Dub- lin, is just as mysterious and in- explicable. Miss Kennedy had never been out of Ireland until, at the age of twenty-three,' she went to visit an uncle and aunt in Kirk- land Lake, ,Ontario, in April last year. She boarded the night train in Toronto and ar- rived at Swastika the next morning where her uncle fetch- ed her in his car to take her the three. miles to Kirkland Lake. They were nearing $ curve in. the road when Joan said sud- denly, "Oh,we'll see the lake now!" For a second her uncle, Mr. Ronald Kennedy, said nothing, then as the car came around the bend and the lake spreara out to the right of them, he ask- ed:: "How did you know we'd see the lake? You've never. been here before?" Th girl was unable to ex- plain. But in the next few minutes she described the town, • the streets, and even her own uncle's home! . He stopped his car before they entered the mining town and questioned the girl. "That's the post office whose top we can see there," she said, pointing to a tower at the distant end of the town, "and that's the old mine shaft of the Kirkland Lake Gold Mine." • Her uncle .drove on, silent There was nothing to be said. Miss Kennedy had described In detail things site had never seen and which had not even been mentioned in letters. There was only one possible explanation: Thirty years be- fore - seven years before she was born — her father had worked in Kirkland Lake, but had hist a leg in a blasting ac- cident and gone home 'to lee - land. He had died eighteen months after Miss Kennedy's birth — and the places she had pointed out as the post office and town hall had been the post office and town hall thirty years before but were now used as 'other public offices, Had her father somehow, from beyond the grave even, transmitted to her this peculiar knowledge? Or can mental knowledge be inherited in the same way as mental and phy- sical characteristics are often passed on? Miss Hilda Justus, of Salt River, South Africa, was invit- ed by a friend in Mossel Bay, 400 miles away, to spend a few days at her home. She had never been there before, but when she arrived, she pointed out an old house and said: "I've been there before:" She finally said: "A girl was murdered there. Her' body's In the cellar," Police were told about the strange statement. and •laughed at it, for the house had been occupied by successive magis- trates for some forty years and no one had disappeared front the town in that time. Yet she wasso insistent thal the cellar was eventually, dug up and tine skeleton of a female found: Doctors estinnated that the person, whose age was judged to be about eighteen ;nears, had been burled there some seventy to eighty years befol•e. Miss Justus was eighteen years old on the day when she arrived In Morsel Bay for the first time in her life. 1SS%IE 9i — 1959 [.ANN€ ,;(,,,,„/„. .
