"She stays with us occasional- ly, Then she visits his brothers and sisters — and tells untruths about me, charging me with things I never said ... I like all his family; they have done so much to help out, and are so kind and thoughtful. I'm afraid they will take their mother's word be- fore mine. What am I to do? "I've always been nice to her. and spoken well of her ... I've said nothing about all this, for 1 felt by ignoring it she might stop her childishness. She hasn't yet.

You'd be surprised how often a lemon is the answer to little problems that crop up in and around the home — quite apart from all the times you add it to a recipe, sprinkle it over a piece of fish, or use it as a rinse after a shampoo. Did you know that after a busy afternoon's shopping there's no more soothing balm for aching feet than bathing therm in tepid water with a tablespoon of lem- or juice and a little alcohol? If corns are the trouble a lemon will do the trick again. Tie a small piece of the fruit on the corn for five nights. Then soak the foot in warm water and the corn can be easily removed. Don't leave the soft skin un- protected, or another corn might grow. Bind over it a piece Of cotton wool with "Vaseline." It a fishbone sticks in some- one's throat and all the back-slap- ping and pieces of dry bread fail to dislodge it, feed the sufferer with a piece of lemon. It will i ;;et rid of it immediately. Glazed tiles in the bathroom or round the fireplace which have taken on disfiguring marks can he reede to glisten by rubbing over with cut lemon. Leave for fifteen tainutes and then prilish with a ,oft duster. Most people know that a lem- on in hot water is one of the finest cures when there is a cold in the offiing. but it should be borne in mind that the same bev- erage is excellent for biliousness or a headache. Lemons nave been used as a cure for baldness. A little juice k squeezed onto the hand and massaged into the scalp. And, finally, ladies, a little of the ,juice on your hands applied to your hair while still wet from the final rinse is said to surpass marry a made-up setting lotion. Yes, the answer is undoubtedly a lemon—more often than yen might have guessed.

Quite a number, I hope, as it n es well worth going to A friend and I took time off last Friday to visit Toronto—and we had quite n day. Went' by early morning train, ciid a bit of shopping before the crowds arrived, and then on to the Coli- seum. It war wonderful finding all the exhibits in one building —so much eaoier on the feet. Even at that by 2 p.m. we were glad to sit in at Mrs. Aitkin's Cooking School and rest a bit. Now what shall I tell you about first? Naturally, if you were there you don't need me to tell you abort anything. But it 3'ou were not there you aright like to know my impressions of tins Hobby Show. Leathercraft . . , everything from wallets to pictures, in tool- ed or carved leather. The pic- tures were a new departure and were most attractive. And there were boxes 01 carved leather, book covers. brief cases, over- night cases and scores of smaller articles. There was also a lady's handbag, beautifully tooled, done by a man Completely blind. Paintings . all kinds of them —in oils and water-colours — portraits, scenery and still life. We didn't see many of the futur- istic variety. There were pie - tures by Winston Churchill and Viscount Alexander, our former Governor - General Churchill's were mostly of quiet, natural scenery—one could easily ima- gine how it rested his weary mind to paint them. Alexander's had more action—and in our humble opinion, they were the better pictures. Pottery . . obviously art from the potter's wheel is far from dying out. 'There were several wonderful displays. Rugs ... hooked and braided— or wool and rags; beautiful de- signs and shading. What hours of close work were involved in the making. Quilts and crocheted table- cloths.

The first thing that caught my eye was "Queen Mary's Carpet"— but I knew it couldn't be. Upon inquiry we were told that when the original Queen Mary carpet was on display at the C.N.E. two years ago, a group of enterpris- ing ladies studied 11 very closely. Then they bought a coloured photograph of the carpet, and, by means of a magnifying glass cop- ied it on canvas, square by square. Quite an ingenious under- taking. But there was this dif- ference between the original car- pet and the copy. In the copy the background is all one colour (you remember, owing to war- time difficulties Queen Mary could not always match her back- ground colours). And the copy also has all the designs going one way. Queen Mary, if you remem- ber, had her squares in reverse from the centre 01 the rug. At this same exhibit there was a fascinating display of pictures in petit-point—large and small, even down the size of ear -rings and cameo brooches. And all this work was done by a group of ten women fn the Mount Pleasant district of Toronto. Lambert Lodgge . , a collec- tion of work done by the aged at Lambert Lodge. This was more than an exhibit—it was tangible proof of happy hours of occupa- tion by busy fingers which must automatically have brought peace of mind to the workers. We all need to remember that something to occupy the hands is fundamen- tal to contentment in old age. Shell work ... several exhibits of this particular craft and much of it very dainty and original— particularly the pictures, done with the tiniest of shells. Artificial flowers . in cro- chet, wax and nylon. Very nice indeed. Oh yes, and I even. found pillow lace at the Danish exhibit.

Fellows! • She's Got The Right Ideal Here et last is a fresh slant on a film star's success story: nobody discovered Corinne Calvet except herself. Two o'clock one Morning she woke up and deciddd that she must become an 'actress: Pieking up a 'phone book, she thumbed through it until she tame to the name ,of director Mare Allegret. She rang up there and then and bullied him into giving her an audition. Allegret otllefed her a role in his next picture, but as it wasn't starting for several Weeks and Corinne didn't feel like wait- ing—she turned him down, Calling on another director, she persuaded him to use her right away. The following week she was before the cameras. If it sounds too easy, remember that it all happened in Paris. For the last five years Corinne Calvet has been in Hollywood. She is married to American actor John Bromfield, and says with pride that she now lives like an American and wants to think like one. But some of the remarks she makes show that she is still a Frenchwoman at heart: "A French girl would never consider asking her husband to wash the dishes. Waiting on a man is a woman's job, She should let him know that it is her privilege and her happiness to rare for him." ".Few mon comp! a in of too much love." "Jealousy is 0tupidity. In Europe, jealousy is considered an illness that trust he treated by a doctor," To meet , Corinne Calvet is a Lively, vivacious girl with the Continental habit of clutching your arm when she speaks a sudden thought. Her favourite actor is Donald Duck, and her hobby is fishing. Hollywood can probably be criticised for treating her too casually. She has been restricted in the main to farces and light comedies, although her appear- ances in Danny Kaye's "On the Riviera" and the current remake work, model trains and dolls— impossible to mention them all in detail -but they were there, from England and Europe, Scan- dinavia and Asia. And if this Hobby Show was a brain -child from the fertile mind of Kate Aitkins then we owe her a debt of gratitude. This first show was good but it is my guess that next year it will be "bigger and better than ever." Leaving the Ciloseum we carne through a district that was like a forest of television aerials, and I wondered how much handicraft was done in homes where there was a television set—and if there was any danger of television kill- ing creative art. Personally I don't think, where a hobby has already been developed, it will do much harm, but it may dis- courage young folk from develop- ing along the same lines.

A few months ago she sued Zee Zan Gabor Sar one million d s'larra on the grounds that slse had been, slandered. Apparently Miss Gabor alleged that Miss Calvet was t+t Cockney, and not a native of France. But this incident, as one (MitetB States columnist so boldly put it, "had all the earmarks of a suc- cessful publicity stunt." Miss Calvet, by the way, took her name from a bottle of Calvet wine, Her father, Pierre Dibos, a French businessman, didn't want her to use the family name until she had proved herself to he to success. Last year he wrote to her,. saying how proud he was, and that he'd be happy if she'd revert to being a Dibos again. "'But ) had to tell him," said Corinne, "that people know me as- Calvet and I can't change if, The studios wouldn't let me." Not only is she sticking to the name of Calvet, but since many- Ing arrying John Bromfield she has be- come a naturalised American.
