This time he chewed the shirt instead of Willie, bttt the youngster says, -"No more pictures." as H RONICLES / Gwr, c 2n4otiP. C r a te t ke Last Friday was a lovely day — just pleasantly 'warm — and was I glad because it was my day for going to the Exhibition. So away I went on the 8:45 bus. I could have caught an earlier bus — but not after canning alt day Thursday! Anyway it was only 10:30 when I reached the Exhibition grounds — too early for it to be uncomfortably erowded. So for once in my life I was able to take my time in the Women's Building and really see all there was to see. Such beautiful work, and so much variety! Like everyone else I was absolutely sold on the beautiful little shell pictures made by an inmate of the Mercer reformatory, in fact had I been given the choice, I would• rather own the shell pictures than the fabulous Hope diamond! That dia- mond . . I looked at it, and looked at it, making several trips to do so, and to me there was something un= caniiy in its flashing blackness. One thinks of a diamond as being bright, with sparkling lights—but this was a greyish -black, hinting at some hidden but sinister beauty within its depths. It was very easy to connect the diamond with all its ill-fated hjstory. The display of period fashions through the centuries was very in- teresting—although I think they must have run out of shoes as the footwear on some models was very modern. The quilts were lovely — some of then quite new in design. The one that appealed to me most featured the crest and motto of the Women's Institute in the centre of the qult. The design was very cleverly car- ried out. ' The Canadian Handicraft Guild had a wonderful exhibit — everything made by hand, and made in Canada, From silver to wood- work, and pottery to weaving. There are a lot of clever fingers in Canada. There were two other exhibits that attracted me so much. One was an exhibit of wallpapers and the other was Canadian fabric used largely in making drapes. The de- signs on both the wallpapers and the drapes were really marvellous. What one could do with money to spend and a house to furnish! One wonders why anyone ever chooses anything that is drab and colourless when there are so matey beautiful things to choose from. After seeing all this — and plenty more I haven't even mentioned — I made my way to the tearoom where I had a luncheon date with the Exhibition! These luncheons are really something to enjoy — rooms with a restful setting, look- ing'out towards the lake, over the heads of the milling crowd. Good service, an appetising meal and in- teresting companions. This day was Press and Radio Day, and so there were !many people familiar to most of us by name who were there in the flesh. It was all very friendly and informal and I enjoyed every min- ute of it. I )net several lady edit- ors whom I knew — but it didn't really matter if you knew people or not — everybody talked to every- body else — press people are like that anyway. After lunch a little woman from Manitoba asked if she could walk around with inc a bit as she was atone. So we stayed together almost an hour and she thought everything was wonderful— on this, her first visit to the Exhibition. It was too cool to listen to the band for very long so I went into the buildings again through — the flower show and the Art Gallery. Then a cup of tea and away to get the bus clown town to 111cd1 dawrhter, so we could have the trip Monte to- gether. That bus trip down town was a bit of a nightmare — we got tied up'in the five-o'clock traffic and waited for ages on Front Street. You will notice 1 haven't men- tioned Partner. On farm we often have to divide forces, as it we're. This day that I had arranged to go to the Exhibition, Bob was away to a threshing and we were also ex- pecting a coal delivery, so Partner stayed at hone. But the next day Father and Daughter made the trip. And they did things properly. They not only went to the Exhibition but they took in dinner and a show down town. They had quite a day — thanks to our local bus service. Teen-agers swarmed the bus, leav- ing less nimble older folk standing room only. Coming home, Partner and Daughter were at the regular departure platform on time. No sign of the bus. When Daughter made inquiries she was first told it would be along any minute, and then that it had pulled in at a different platform and left — un- announced. So they had no choice but to wait for the late bus. Again there was standing room only. Partner refused to !get on and was then told another bus was on its way. It came— an hour later! Two . a.m. when they arrived home. Quite a day! LAST CHANCE "Dad, why was Adam made first?" "To give him a chance to say a word or two, I suppose."

TRUE COURTESY A United States film producer asked an English friend to look at one of his "society" films to see that everything was all right. After watching it for a while, the Englishman asked: "Why does that man keep his hat on when he's talking tto a lady in the drawing room?" "Because," said the producer, "he can't take it off — another lady's coming in presently and he's got tot raise his hat t her." HOTEL CLIFTON NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y.
