'Other girls have a ring, or a

are going steady, but though he
owns a class ring, I have nothing.
The girls all wonder why. Also,
he claims he would see me more
often, but doesn't want me to
fail in my studies. (I'm in my

him very much ... Does .he love
me, or what? I am so worried!

' gives you the same loyalty he

Painting A Wall?
Start At Bottom
When you wash or paint a wall,
do you mount a stepladder and
start at the top? If so, you'd
better mend. your ways.
A tip from the 'U.S. `.General
Services Administration coin-
cides with advice from experi-
enced wall painters. A wise house-
wife will start at the bottom.?
This is not so unreasonable, as
it sounds. When you wash a wall
from the bottom up, you just.
easily and neatly clean up the
muss as you go along, never add-
ing muddy trickles to soiled sur-
faces and never accumulating
more dirt in streaks.. If your
lower surfaces are entirely clean
as you operate on upper wall
areas, dripping sponges will do
less damage and any small
trickles can be wiped off at once,
with no remaining stains.
Similarly when you paint on
an upward spiral, there is little
danger that too much thinning
will occur at the top in, contrast
with heavy paint surfaces due to
accumulation of downward drip-
ping.
Don't be a doubting Thomas !
Try the unproved method !

li this column seems a tittle
disconnected the reason is not
far to seek. Yesterday we were a
family of seven and here is what
happened. About 7.30 a.m. Bob
took our two visitors to the train
as they were spending the day
in Toronto—that, of course, `was
after a mad scramble for early
morning breakfast and going
away preparations, Then Bob
came back, finished his own last
minute packing, which consisted
of piling all his possessions into
his car, and then he was ready
for a long trip North. While this
was going on Daughter and
Arthur carne down hunting
breakfast and Partner came in
from the barn where he had been
wrestling with a fresh cow with
a hard. quarter. Almost im-
mediately afterwards Bob set• off
on his trip and it is quite pos•
-
sible we amay,aotw see hurl' again
for six months. The rest of the
day was comparatively quiet—
Partner, Daughter, Arthur and
myself just talking—family talk,
over this thing and that. After
supper Dee and Art set out for
Toronto and then the whole house
was very, very quiet. I sat down
with my thoughts and a needle
and thread to mend a pair of
pyjamas that Partner had fallen
through. I wondered as I worked
how soon Partner would be up
from the barn and whether our
friends would be late getting
back from Toronto. And then the
telephone rang. A friend that I
thought was a hundred miles
away asked if I would like a
couple of tramps for the night !
"But why ... where are you?" I
asked in surprise.
My friend laughed—"Well, as
a matter of fact we have taken a
house down here—only just at
present we are here and the
furniture isn't" Of course I said
to come right along so inside of
fifteen minutes Lillian and her
daughter were on our doorstep,
leaving the pian of the house to
wait for the furniture and look
after things.
Of course we had to do a bit
of hustling . , . beds to make . , and the .furnace given an extra
stoking against the cold north
winds. A nice hot cup of tea com-
pleted our w e 1 c o m e. In the
middle of things Partner came in
from the barn, ourother friends
returned from Toronto, all of
them wondering at the sudden
flurry of activity and who the
newest arrivals might be. Now it
is the morning after and we are
still busy getting ourselves sorted
out—and of course attending to
the baker, the dairy man, the egg -
man and the vet—all of whom
seemed to arrive one atter: an-
other. It is really a great life if.
you don't weaken ---and if your
supply of sheets doesn't give out,
and if you can keep awake tong
enough to be properly polite. The

back to cooking for two after
!laving been used to five — or
seven—isn't going to be so easy.
One new arrival I haven't men-
tidned—and it has given us more
fun than a picnic, This new
arrival is in the form of a little
clockwork bear. Wind it up and
>t ambles slowly across the floor,
head keeping pace with its
heavy foot movements. Honey,
Tap and Mitchie-White think it is
a wonderful plaything, but their
reactions are very different.
Mitchie evidently thought it was
• some sort of kitten and was quite
ready to play with it. But when
its little motor ran down and it
showed no more sign of move-
ment Mitchie lost interest al-
though he did try licking it back
to life. Tippy wanted to grab it
and shake it like a ground -hog
.and we had to rescue the poor
little bear. It was Honey that
• caused the greatest fun. She
whimpered at the noise of the
motor. Then, greatly daring, she
pawed the little bear with her
foot and rolled it over. The legs
still kept moving and Honey sat
back in. surprise. Partner said,
All tch it 'here !" 1loney stereggled
her stump of a tail in delight,
nosed the bear this way and that,
finally found that its, tail was
easier to grab than any part of
its mechanical body, so she picked
up the bear by its tail and bore
it in triumph to Partner. Later
on, • tired of playing, Honey sat
down beside the bear on the rug.
Presently Mitchie-White came in;
and Honey growled as loudly and
fiercely* as if she were guarding
a nice, fresh juicy bone.
Maybe; come Tuesday', I shall
be glad to have Honey and the
bear to amuse me, as after that
day Partner and I will be all
alone, that being the time when
our. friends wl1 leave us, as they
•are crossing the border over to
the United States. On the other
hand I may not have time for
amusements — you know how
sewing and mending. has a way of
piling up when one has company
around. What with Christmas and
everything I have got so that I
look the other way whenever I
pass my mending basket.
Took The Chorus Girls Out Of Tights
.._Put Them. Into Shirts instead
Just a hundred years ago, ac-
coZfl.infr to the Nerves. 1n Ocieloor
of 1852, was born the showman
who had a bigger impact upon
the British stage than anybody
else. Genius is not too big a
worci for him.
He was not a dramatist; he
was not an actor; but he had a
wonderful flair for knowing
what audiences wanted, even if
they did not know themselves!
As an instance of his craving
for perfection, take his action
when one of his shows had reach-
ed dress -rehearsal stage and he
suddenly took a dislike to the
"set" for the second act, He
ordered the whole lot to be
scrapped, and a new set to be
built and painted. The scenery
was not finished until time came
for the curtain to .rise on the
play, there was a small delay,
resented by the gallery, but
George Edwardes had had his
autocratic way.
Walked lees! tens .,
He brought glamour and a
kick to the chorus, and created
the famous "Gaitey Girl." Up
to then, the chorus of a musical
show had' been the butt of every
cheap wit; the "back row of the
chorus" had been a synonym for
knock-kneed inefficiency. Ed-
wardes selected his chorus girls
with the greatest care. Beautiful
"creations" took the place of the
old -tyle cotton tights, and Ed-
wardes was astute enough to
know that long skirts over
frothy, .frilly petticoats had in-
finitely more allure than these.
The girls walked like queens;
their poise was wonderful. Ed-
wardes saw to that. Before they
were allowed to step upon the
stage of the Gaiety or Daly's
they were taught deportment,
dancing and singing — every-
thing, in fact, to make them more
glamorous.
11'I.nsieai Comedy e rr,
Edwardes is generally believ-
ed to be the inventor of what
we know as musical comedy, but
that is quite wrong. The idea
sprouted in the fertile brain of
Frank Osmond Carr. Carr was
among the first of the current
composers of light music, and
already had "Morocco Bound"
and "Isis Excellency" to his
tuneful credit. (He was the com-
poser whom D'Oyly Carte pick-
ed to collaborate with Sir si'. 5.
Gilbert when that temperamen-
tal author had his notorious quar-
rel with Sullivan.)
Carr saw that the old-fashioned
burlesque or operetta was doom-
. ed; why not have a musical piece
in which everybody wore mod-
ern clothes? Edwardes would
have none of it. But Frank Carr
believed in his idea, and kept
Edwardes until the manager con-
sented to give the mad thing a
trial. "In. Town" was produced
at the Prince of Wales over which
Edwardes then had control, and
the public "ate it up''! Musical
Comedy was born.
George Edwardes ran Daly's
as well as the Gaiety, and was
so successful that he only put
on eleven shows in fiften years.
People said that if a Daly's piece
did not run fur two yvu:'s he
thought he had staged a flop.
The manager, unlike some other
theatrical magnates, had little
idea of the value of money He
wanted the very best, no matter
what it cost. Naturally, he wag
sometimes hard up, One of those
times was just before he pro-
duced "The Merry Widow" at
Daly's. All in the theatre knew
that things were desperate and
• feared for the beloved "Guv'nor:'
But the show ran for no fewer
than 778 performances!
Franz Leber, the composer, at
first objected to Joe Coyne being
engaged, and was told that the
comedian was " a very 1"tinn;ly
man." "I have not written funny
music," scowled the great musi•-
cian.
Money Didn't Matter
.Part of Edwardes' disregard
for money was shown in his ec-
centric generosity, Seeing to
chorus girl looking rather lugu-
brious one day, and being told
that she felt far from bright, he
said: "What you want, my dears,
is a breath of fresh air. There's*
half an hour before you are want-
ed—so jump into a hansom and
drive up and down the Embank-
ment." And he promptly gave
her two pounds for the fare!
He arranged with the proprie-
tor of the famous Romano's res-
taurant that his girls should dine
there under a special tariff, He
paid for their hair -do's at the
best places in the West -end, in
fact did all he could to exploit
the loveliness of the Gaiety
chorus. The result was that tt
gained a reputation for glamour
that no chorus had had before—
or since.
