Were there really seven clays
last week? I am beginning to
wonder. We seem to have lost
a few somewhere. Or is that
what generally happens when
one has company? We had visi-
tors for three days and then
when they returned to Toronto
I went with them, intending to
visit Daughter and come back
on the 6:30 train. But 1 cut
things too fine. A delayed street-
car added to my troubles so 1
missed my train by about two
minutes. The first time I have
done such a thing in years. For-
tunately Daughter's place is only
about 10 minutes ride from the
station so I went back until it
was time to leave for the mid-
night train. I had too much
wnrlt waiting at home for me to
stay overnight. However, wait-
ing for the late train allowed
me more time with Davey who
was quite happy to have an
extra person to play with. Then,
too, 1 was able to get a full eve-
ning with television, which 1
had not done before. But 1 can't
say I am any more sold on it.
Certainly there are programmes
that one naturally enjoys but 1
And the advertising even mare
annoying on '1.'V than it is on
the radio. A.s for good music I
much prefer the radio — and
that goes for newscasts too.
However. 1 did enjoy a presen-
tation featuring 11. L. Stevenson
on the island of Samoa, 1 stip-.
pose eventually we shall suc-
cumb to mass enthusiasm az,d
get a set of our own but at tl'e
moment neither Partner nor I
are too enthusiastic. Books,
papers, magazines and the radio
are about all we cnn brindle ,:t
present.
We have a little extra woik
right now — looking after two
atck •dogs. What ever ails them
I don't know unless it. is dis-
temper. They both have cougus
and look pretty miserable. Tippy
hasn't eaten anything for three
days. As for Honey. she would
.eat if she were at her last gasp.
Afterwards elm acts like a horse
with the heaves. Tippy is eleven
years old and Honey siker seven
so they are rather old for dis-
temper, especially as thee Weser

Stretchable Synthetic Knits Put Elasticity In The Budget
BY ;rDNA MILES
Sizes are the bane of any housewife's shopping excursion.
Getting exactly the right sizes in socks, shirts and pajamas for
the mole members of the family should be easy -but isn't.
If the fabric isn't sanforized, there must be allowance For
shrinkage, And in the interest of the budget, there frequently
must be allowance for growth. Sizes, too, run somewhat differ-.
eptly with merchandise from different manufacturers. All hi all,
a shopping trip can turn into a guessing game.
The new, stretchable knitted fabrics in nylon or a combin-
ation of nylon and dacron are removing much of the guesswork.
One garment stretches to be right fit for several sizes without
sagging or binding. Thus it can span several seasons instead of
just a couple of months,
Such fabrics are completely washable (by hand or ma-
chine), and need little or no ironing. They're done in both plain
and ribbed types and in solid colors and stripes. And they're
nice as gifts, since the stretch feature practically does away with
the size problem.
S -t -r -e -t -c -h the budget with children's T-shirts such as these:
Both are of same size, but stretchable knit fabric insures fit
duringseveral seasons of growth,
espicialiy with spring hi the
Offing.
Spring . . what a happy
thoughtl I suppose many ti.f yen
are already planning your work,
whether it be seeding. garden-
ing or housecleaning. Early
spring brings with it a renewal
of f a i t h in the year ahead.
Without it we could not vasty
cu. Tt is as necessary to our
well-briug as the air we
bt'era(he. A friend of mine gave
a series of talks on that vets
subject just recently and I Wats
• particularly imp re seed -with
some of her remarks. 1 think
they will appeal to you as well.
"There are three levels of faith
--faith in God. faith in others
and faith in ourselves. They all
work together', A strong faith
in Ckud makes a strong human
beim;. Then there is faith m
others. If you have faith in the
peepde around you, you trust and
respect them If you lack this
f'aitl't you mistrust and dcspiue
then". Sometimes an unfortu-
nate experience 'destroys year
faith in people. Don't, whatever
the provocation, let this happen
to you tor lack of faith can grew
like a bats weed and spoil your
relationship with all you moot.
Thou there is faith in youi'seif.
Without faith in yourself yc•u
became inadequate --• without
vitality and lacking the power
that you should be using, But
-you can develop faith in your-
self It is an act of will. You
can have faith or distrust: con-
fidence or fear. The pose ihui-
ties ere within your Mind. You
must have this triple faith --
faith in God, faith in others aid
faith in yotu'selt. You CAN have
it: faith can he developed and
with it comes an amazing powe't.
Faith is the ingredient which
mixed cith preye•, gives you
direct communication with the
Divine."

Where Women
Score -
What are the ten small but
important things which a wo-
man can do better than a slung
A romantic but rather cynical
Frenchman undertook to find
out. He studied women for five
years, reports a Paris cor'res•
pendent, and then compiled this
list of things which, he said,
women of all ages can do in-
comparably better than mere
men:
Dress lightly without eetching
cold.
Cry at the right moment.
Avoid an argument by a senile.
Choose a present.
Obtain a special dish for a
dog in a restaurant.
Write a long letter and say
nothing.
Remove a speck of dust from
another person's eye.
Choose underwear for the op
polite sex wi'thnut enlbari'nss.,ve
went.
Disturb a score of people in 51
cinema before finding a seat.
Drink very hot drinks without
flinching.
Well, that's leis list. What's
yours?

Arab nations of the Middle East until recently more or'less'solidly allied In the Arab League,
are now making faces at each other. Egypt, leader of the League, didn't like` it too mush when
Turkey and. Pakistan signed a mutual defense pact (1). But Egypt•couldn't do much about it,
because neither Turkey nor Pakistan is an Arab nation. The Western Allies liked it fine. Turkey
is in NATO and the pact furnished a missing Fink in the chain of Westerns defenses against
Russian aggression. Then Turkey turned around and made a similar pact (23 sent Iraq. egyht
