She herself owned to "plump," her dressmaker called her "stoutish," and the horrid girl in the underclothing department said she was "outsize." That damsel had bitten her lip hard when her irate customer demanded why they didn't call extra small women "midget size,' and extra thin, ones "skinny size"7 and replied:-,' "I don't know, madam.. ,"Small wo-- men; 'Women, and 'Outsize' are the standard sizes." "Wihat• their standard is, Ti cannot imagine," said Aunt Povey 'at home, recounting this."Painters usually paint the figures they most admire. .Look at Ruben's women! I'm not nearly en plump as they are, yet no- body calls them `outsize'!" "I believe," said her nephew, Fred, "that the Venus of Milo is the stand- ard for beautiful proportion in wo- men." His sitter Mary agreed with him. "The Venus of Milo!" elel'aimed Aunt Povey. "I've seen prettier figures than hers! What about shape- ly. arms? She has none!" "No,." teased Meese "and her feet aro unite big, and you .can't see her legs.>, "You can see quite enough of her," said Aunt Povey, severely. Now it is a singular fact that, not- withstanding her defence of plump- ness. ss, ort Poveysecretly yearned to be slim. She .often gazed with wist- ful envy at the's'lender figures of her niece and nephew, and sighed as she contemplated her own bulk in the mirrer.It was not foe want of try - ng to reduce, that she still remained fat. There was hardly an advertised remedy that she did not try most prescrveringly. Unfortunately she altvays omitted the essentials of ex- ercise and dieting. So the various stuff vanished, without taking with them one single ounce of the poor woman's -adipose tissue. Walking tired her, and being a first-class cook she could not bring herself to foredo the pleasure of the table. For five years now she had lived with her niece and nephew„ since the death of their widowed mother, and surprised and delighted thein with her splendid eoolcdng. Mary, busy making her trousseau, was pleased when Aunt Fowey took entire charge of the kitchen. Janet, the maid, was shrewd enough to dis- cern a teacher from whom she could learn much. r Cleaning and Pressing Suits. Coats and Dresser DRY CLEANED AND REPAIR= W. J.

"The housekeeping doesn't cost any more than it did before Auntie came. And I'm ' sure the coolcings wonderful!" Nov, thongh they were so heartily appreciative it grieved and puezled the good lady that neither of her young relatives grew .the least bit fatter for all the good things she cooked for them. "What do you do to keep your- selv , so slim?" she exclaimed one Jae when riding clown to rest after eloper. "You and it'red eat as much 's I d'. but it never makes you any I tuni 'r:" Mary was going out for a tramp thrc'ngh the woods; she laughed as she replied: "Do, Anntie? Take regu- ler exercise, that's all. And of course Feed melees a lot. Come out with me for a brisk walk; it would be bet- ter for you than sitting here at home!" M;iss Povey shuddered, and the rising gale rattled the windows, "Go cut in this weather!" she cried. "N'o. n", Mary, I prefer a rest after din- ner. But surely, it isn't exercise ou- 'iy that kenos you so slim? Don't you take anything? T've been trying Blank's lately,' she added, hoping for some return .secret, But Mary lust laughed and went on her way. after a good-natured raid on her ouniSs. box of chocolates. FOOTLOOSE, ETC. 'Soon—"Say dad, what does it mean .when the paper says Some man went to a convention as a delegate -at - large?" • Dad "It means his wife didn't go twitlt Arius, son." "Go across to the farm and get some." Having cleverly arranged the short- age of milk, Janet went on her er- rand with Alacrity.' The fa men's ;;on was very companionable. Left in peace at last, Aunt P'o'et', was in no mood for further slumbers. Realizing that she was alone in the. house, a daring idea took shape in her mind. The studio was forbidden ground to her, far shewas, though kind-hearted,• both inquisitive and meddlesome, with, a mania for wash- ing things, which, though commend- able in her own department, was dis- astrous in a 'Studio. So that door was kept locked. Now, as she stole along the passage, feeling rather guilty but delightfully adventurous', Aent Povey saw that, as she had surmised, Mary had.left the key in the loek. She paused a second. Bad Fred returned? True, she had not heard him come in; but neither had she heard him go out! She listened, but there was no sound, so, softly un- locking the door, she entered the forbidden domain. There on the ta- ble lay the damaged parcel. She fin- gered it curiously, then undid the carelessly tied, string and eeamined the contents. Severna attractive lit- tle pots, a .broken bottle from which e ude:l a thick oily sulvsta.nc;ethen a lrvgr'. flattish bottle whose label was obliterated• by the oily stuff. But round its neck was an unspoilt blast; label, on which stood out three words in clear white letters. Aunt Povey 'stood transfixed. So tbey had something to take, after alll That was what Fred was expect - 'ng! She knew it wasn't exercise on- ly! Rather mean of Mary not to tell her. But now that she knew, she could keep that bottle; yes, she would steal it, and wouldn't they be sur- r:ri'scd when a slender, elegant :cunt came amongst them dressed in one of those sheath -like gowns she had long Yearned to wear. And then, the hor- rid girl in the underclothing depart, ment would have to admit she was nr, lenges "outsize"! Aunt Povey's fingers trembled as she secured her treasure,, hastily re- tied the parcel, end gained her own "nom in safety, to conceal her booty, with many fat chuckles. When Fred and Mary returned, the plump thief was waiting. in the drawing -room ready to dispense an appetizing ten. Aunt Pettey was not very well next day, and all that week had rather e tr..or appetite. She suffered in her - ole silence; but began to lose her pret- ty, fresh colour. But when, en San - day, two weeks later, she heti a viol- ent fit of sickness and refused anv breakfast, Mary net alarmed and 'sent for the doctor. He was Mary's fiance and he spoke to her in a puzzled way alter examining his patient, Aunt Povey settled herself to en- joy her novel; and the latest cookery beet:. Her mode of reading was pe - taller to herself. When a meal was introducer], of which the dishes were not detailed, she looked up a suitable menu .and read that over; if the dish- es were mentioned and did not meet with her a.ppvovad, she changed then, to her own satisfaction before- pro- ceeding with the story. To her :rela- tives, who 'teased, her about this, she said earnestly„ "Yoe know, my dears, if people only had proper meal's when they axe tired or distressed, there weelrin't itsr so• many accidents and suicide. There's great comfort in a mond dinner!' Her peaceful slumber was present- ly cli,eturbed. Eby Mary's' return, "Did Ion hear :'Fred go out?"; she asked hurriedly. "That cheeky post bot. shOyed7 a parcel into my hand hd ran off! Something seems broken and Fred _malces such e. fuss about nerves. Ile exnocted rein /thin: special this` week. Wiell, eshe isn't here. I'll just put it in the studio for him to 'find.." ' So saving Mary departed with the eke-sasv'ctnai"'I and resumed her in- terrupted walk, white her aunt tried 4n resume be • interrupted slumber, She was not left long in ranee.

THURS., AUG. 31, 1935 speaks the Mexican language very fluently and numbers among his most intimate friends many influen- tial men of Mexico. Lloyd' Guest and Gordon Moffatt, two of the four who are known as the "Rhythm Aces quartet" (heard with Russ Gerow's "Say It With Music" programs from London every other week) rescued a young boy from drowning in the River Thames recently. They had their pictures in the local papers and were highly praised for their prompt action. Jim Houde, manager of the Cont - mission's Quebec City station, tells a story about a quite rural looking young man who recently paid a visit to the studios in the Chateau F'ron- tenac. There was a distressed look on his face when he entered the re- ception room, Jim received him cordially, thinking he was perhaps. original material worth an audition. "Did you see anyone looking for any- body" the youth solemnly asked, Jim replied, with equal somemnity: "Wlell I saw someone looking for somebody." The !fellow's shoulders drooped and he sighed deeply. "No, that can't be him," he said. Then he turned and walked out. Jim just about passed out! "Jack and, Jake," comedians • featured on "Summer Follies," a Canadian Radio Commission program nriginaring each Saturday at 9.30 p.m. EST in the Montreal studios and heard over the Commission's national 'net- work and through the facilities of the National Broadcasting Company DOTN1GS IN THE SCOUT in the United States. .Jack, whesc real name is George Temple, also WORLD writes: the comedy scripts,which explains the penciland paper. To his. creditors, Jake is known as Jack Sadoff. Bravo for "Sumner Follies" There is no greater a. yardstick bI' whichto maure the popularity Yof a radio program than by the elejectiona' raiscd when it is suddenly and for no apparent i•rasen withdrawn frctn the airwaves. Two weeks ago it was anonunced in this column that "'Summer Follies," produced in the Montreal studios of the Canadian Radio Commission ant_ fed to the National Broadcasting Company in the United States, had completed its run of 13 weeks and had been blue-penciled 'from the schedule. Almost overni_ht, follow- ing the announcement of the demise of "Sumner Follies," ;; barrage ef protest was received by Commission etficials. Indignant listeners hotly objected and demanded the early re- turn of the program. Public sentiment is not to be re gardcd lightly, and se "Summer Fol- lies," complete -with its racy eotnecly, sparkling music, and pleasing gong, stars, returns to tho networks. There will be many who will welcome it back .for "Sumner Follies" was ., good show. "Alt the sympt ins of irritant 'eels- -nine to said; "what has she been taking?" "A lot of anti -fat remedies, I know," "Quito harmless, all those things" raid the doctor, "and the advertised ones are effective, bat nothing can cope with for too .little exercise and ^ar too much food, said from what I know •of your aunt! Anyhow, there's no advertised remedy that would 0a.use such an upset as the poor little seal is suffering from now. I'll try' warm milk and white of egg, and if that won't do it must be the stomach pump." It took the 'stomach pump and sev- eral months .of careful nursing and strict dieting to restore the invalid.

Opening ef Fall Schedule Delayed The fall schedule of programs of the Canadian Radio Commission, which was' to have commenced Sep- tember 29, will not be launched until October 13, program officials have announced. The postponement• is due to the extension of the general elec- tion campaign, during which time the Commission's networks will be tied up with the sale of time for election addresses, who was one of the finest and most the man accomplishedo f y students to have been associated with him in i the course of his long career.

A START "Well, .old man, what are you do- ing these days?" "I'm selling furniture." "Are you selling much?" "Only my own, so far" suppose it hurt me' more than you, because I was so plump!" "Whet on earth aro you talking a- bout, Auntie?" began bred, but Aunt Povey interrupted with a touch of her old asperity. "Mary, will you fetch .the locked bag from my ward- rdbe?" When this was opened Istary cried:' Oh, poor. deur Auntie,. ]row you must have sttffered!" But Fred and the doctor' could hardly restrain their astouished laughter. ;For there lay a large flat 'bottle, the label of which, containing instructions for the vise n'f its contents with some - special kind of enamel, bad.been completely obliterated by some oily substance.

It pays the rents and the salaries and all the other costs of all, stores in our city. It informs the owners of these store's what to buy and at what price to sell. And it demand"s' from all retailers a communication service—meaning news of what re- tailers have in stock, and what their prices are. And of course it does most of its business with those retailers who report to it, regu- larly and fully --by the agency off advertisements in our newspaper. And if any retailer says in effect—"I'll not give you—the real own- ers el my business --any niformation about my business;" then the buying public 'says—in effect--t"Right you are. As for us, we shall go in largest numbers to those retailers who communicate to us regularly and adequately via the medium of our local newspapers" This way of putting it is not just fanciful, It is stern fact. Retailers who decline to maintain communication with the public by means of the newspaper which it reads lose business to those who aro faithfully communicative, .Someretail business is dangu.ishine today—unnecessarily. Its attitude to the public is wrong. It says in effect—to the public. 'You come and find us," and the pu.blit's attitude is: "You tell us about your business and your merchandise. You are our employee. Report to us regularly and adequately on how you are serving us. if you .convince us that you are our faithful and efficient servant, well keep on employing you,. and will -pay you well." Tho -way of making a business grow and making it healthy is as plain as is the nose on one's face. It is the way of Maintaining a steady •eommunicatian relationship with one's employers :via the one effective and economical agency—'our advertisements columns. he Chllton de S4IeOOFd A FINE MEDIUM FOR ADVERTISING. -READ ADS IN THIS ISSUE.
