OCTOBER Our northern year would I>e drab indeed without October, a veritable Joseph among the months. Its many -colored coat is flung across the hills to be seen afar, in time as well as distance. \Ve look forward to October color as one of the mag- nificent spectacles of our land; and when the leaves have gone and the world is gray and white with winter we lodk back and rententber au- tumn at its height, in October. Spring is full of color, but no matter how lush it may seem at the time it is color on a minor scale. It is the color of a million ntinatures, each spring flower a tiny brush- stroke. But October is autumn, and autumn is a mural so vast it ort - ranges the eye. You look for spring in a bed 'of violets beside` a brook. You. don't have to look for 'October. It covers . .a whole hillside, 14 cloaks the val- leys :and knows no horizon. A whole grove of maples lights .up with the fire of autumn, with every flame color in the spectrum. A val- ley gleans and shimmers with gold from swamp willow and sycamore, a whole ,broad valley full and -brim- ming. An upland pasture lined with .briars and blueberries is twenty acres .of green and forty mods of purple .and crimson. And when the winds of October blotto,• -even the wind is full, of color. The north is so full of•color it can scatter it to the skies and rustle it underfoot Even the sides :of October, once the rains have cleared September's dust, are the bluest.of all skies, with the whitest of all huge clouds. October is a long month, as oqr months run. But few Octobers are - long enough .to wear out their wet - ,conte. Sun -ripe and.color-bold, Oct - 'ober holds a special place in our affections. 4609 SIZES /� X24"— 28' 446441. -%iq/c .1*.,$ A good skirt—the foundation of your separates wardrobe!

HOW TO PUT A FOOT IN YOUR MOUTH A speaker was addressing a local farts women's group. He felt rather pleased wit', himself as the lecture progressed and thought he had tilt audience -in the palm of his hand. When he concluded, a woman rush- ed up to bins. He beamed in antici- pation of the usual complimentary remarks, but her words were, "1 didn't like what you said, and 1 certainly didn't like the way you said it!" The Mortified and flustered chair- man, seeking to reassure the speak- er, whispered, "Don't pay any at- tention to that crackpot.

Cyt HRONICL As INGIERFAIIM ei Gaendolfts.e P Cto eke One day I was in a local butcher store when another customer turn- ed to nee and said—"What, you "here again, Mrs. Clarke , .. do you live downtown?" 'Well, not quite," 1 answered, and then remembering this other woman also carate from the country I added—"How about you?" She laughed—"Yes, I de- served that question—but it seems every time I come downtown I meet you in one or other -of the stores, so I just wondered . thought maybe you had moved to town•" That started me thinking—just . wondering if I did make a lot of • unnecessary trips. I remembered_-'. the -gas-rationing days—when I - never made a trip to town unless it was absolutely necessary and always found it quite easy to keep well within my gas ration. But no, although I begrudge the -'time it takes to get dressed and go down town, yet I do go quite frequently —on Saturdays sometimes two and three times. Take last Saturday, for instance. Business at the bank— so I had to go down in the morn- ing—banking (tours being from 9:30 to 11. At the bakeshop -we have a standing order for fruit buns on Saturday but they are never ready 'before 12 o'clock, Na- turally I couldn't wait for them— there was dinner to get at home. So I picked up a few groceries and ambled -back hone . , . I would have to go down later. * * M About 4:30 I set out again—and I had to" hurry because the library closed' at five—but I thought I coulsi Orange my books, pick up the buns,: get the evening . paper and be -hone in plenty of time to 'get suppbf. 1 got the books and buns but• the papers were late coming in. 1 waited and waited, determined not to make a third trip downtown. That way I saved on gas but I wasted a lot of time and barely had supper on the table before the men came in to eat it, 5 * Or take any other day, \ cry often if I miss the overnight mail I take my letters to the 8:50 train in the morning. Occasionally Part- ner has said—"You might bring me so-and-so from the drugstore." Without thinking 1 agree.' 13151 then T find the drugstore, don't open until 9:30. Oh well, at least the butcher store will be open and 1 can get served there in a hurry at this time in the morning. But one man is very much occupied with hacking up a side of beef and the other fellow is constantly at the telephone taking orders for the day. Eventually they get around to serving me. Perhaps another day I ant busy at a paint job and leave my trip t0 town until around 5:30, There are only a few things to get anyway. But, oh dear, the town is busy—you don't know which place to go first because they all close at six. So I start at the post office but get behind two people both wanting money orders—and making out stoney orders is slow business. From the post office 1 go from store to store and appar- ently ]'m the only one in r hurry —certainly the ones behind' tine counter are not, Jell, might as well take back an evening paper —they are stile to be in by this time. "Paper?" says the girl at the drugstore—"Oh, I'm sorry—they carne in early today and we have n't one left!" X give up and go home, So that's the way it goes when everyone is on an eight -hour -day except the farmer. Go down- town early and you have to wait for the stores to open. Go late and you have to rush around to get everything you want before the doors close for the night, Back in those Ieisurely days when the main purpose- of the storekeepers and their assistants was to serve the public rather than beat the time clock, then you could do all your business on just one trip to town. Lt fact it was often possible to make only one trip a week by us:ng a little forethought. In fact I do that even yet in winter -time as I get Bob to pick up my orders then, But in summer, with com- pany coating and going all the time, I like to do my own shopping. * * * But, oh dear, I shouldn't com- plete this column without men- - tinning what happens at the doc- tor's office. Our doctor has his office hours from 1- 4 and 7 - 9, morning hours by appointment. So to save time I get an appointment for 10 a.m. Get there right on the dot . , - and there are four people ahead of mel '"What time was your appointment?" I asked one young. girl. "Ten o'clock," she answered.' The others said their appointment was 10 o'clock too. I begin to wonder what good is all appoint- ment if it is given to more than one at the same time. "That's old stuff," says the young girl, "The doctor says 10 o'clock but he sees you when he gets around to it." That may be true but at least we can't grumble about the doctor's hours—I never knew one yet who had too much leisure time on his hands, EGGWHITE SUBSTITUTE Eggwhite is albumen, a protein. What The Chemical and Engineer- ing News describes as "synthetic eggwhite" is now produced in Nor- way from codfish. One pound of this fish protein is equivalent to the eggwhite contained in 140 hen'seggs. Nobody has even synthetizcd pro- tein. The highly purified fish pro- tein can be used for snaking breads, cake, ice creast, mayonnaise, phar- maceutical products, textiles, paints, soap, cosmetics and paper. Trial production of more than 600 pounds of eggwhite a day has been started by two Norwegian firms.
