I re- member it as if It were yester, day, Gert Siddall (the nurse) had said she would come over to help me if Partner would pick her up on his way home from the village — which lie did, It had already started to. storm. Driving up to the backdoor with the team and sleigh, he left the horses standing' while he brought groceries and bletikete into the house. In that few minutes a blizzard blew up and when Partner went out the horses were nowhere to be seen. Presumably they had headed for the shelter of the stable, But they 'got lost. It was pot until the storm was over that Partner dar- ed to look for them or he would have got lost too. He found the horses in a field near the barn where they had run round and round in circles. The sleigh had upset and one shaft was broken. You have to knoW . the west to realize 'how a thing like that could happen — and how easy it is to get lost. Somethimes, in a storm, Partner would set up a . rope line from the house to the barn. It was the only way he could be sure of finding his way • back again. In spite of it all, it was a wonderful life.

They were .hor special guests at tea ,only recently--`the first time in thirty years, it was said, that wives of the musicians have been entertained at the White House. One unusual White house guest, some years ago, was the wife of a soldier in Koree whose invitation to tea with the First Lady followed receipt of a letter from the soldier requesting the invitation as a kind of Christmas present for his wife. While the women of the press were disappointed that Mrs, Eisenhower did not hold press' conferences, they • •owe to the• • present First Lady the only in- invitation they ever had to a formal luncheon at the White House, complete with the best china, elaborate table. decora- tions, and White House special- ties on the menu, Fashionwise Mrs, Eisenhower has dressed to suit her own style, and always been listed among the ''ten best-dressed wo- men!' Her clothes have been smart and simple in deeign, full- skirted and generally colorful. She likes colors and veears them well, even bright red. • Because she is petite she chooses small hats. And if she has established a fashion trade- mark of her own it is in the colored gloves often chosen to match these hats. In decor her liking for pink is well known, An article in 'the current issue of Good House- keeping tells of a White House servant who was sent out to buy some flannel for bags to cover the mops, When he returned with pink flannel the housekeeper express- ed surprise, "But everything else around here is pink," he said, "so we may as well have pink mops." Many events, personal as web as political, have marked the Eisenhower tenancy of the White House, Mrs. Eisenhower has seen her husband recover from two. illnesses during the past eight years; she has known the thrill of having a grandchild born at this famous address. Now, moving to Gettysburg will be "just going home—to a private life at long last. Well, I suppose everyone within a fifty mile radius of Toronto has been experimenting with television's Channel 9 over the week-eneAnd with different results, I imagine.

And then, by sheer accident, we sud- denly found. we could get Chan- nel 9 programmes quite clearly on Channel 8! Probably the aerial needs adjusting to bring in the new wave length but we don't want to 'take a chance on not getting the other stations so we'll just wait for awhile and see what happens. We are still able to get Channel 6 without too much interference. Looking over the week's pro- grarrirning we are glad to see For Half-Sizes PRINTED PATTERN Grocious Hoop** 14sives.

Moving out of the White House, for that reason, will be far less of a change for her than many previous first ladies, Mamie- Eisenhower has been a First Lady with a strong sense of history.. It was the first thing that awed. her, on corning to live in, the White House—that feeling of "being a part of history," as she once put it to a friend. Evidence of her feeling is the energetic way in which she went about securing missing china representing previous W h i t e House tenants. Through her ef- forts the -record, is now complete with piecee of china from the Coolidge, Harding, Taft, and Johnson families sa that every administration is now represeet- ed in the display on the ground floor. • The Eisenlaowers themselves are leaving as their contribution the stunning pieces of gold caes tleton china used at White House dinners during their cc- cupency. Mamie Eisenhower will carry with her into retirement the gl memories of one of the most glamorous social eras the White House has 'ever known. No President and First Lady have ever entertained as many high- ranking foreign guests as the Elsenhowers. And when it conies to enter- taining Mrs. Eisenhower is a perfectionist. Everything must • be in place, with not even the brush of a footprint on the rug. No one underestimated her feel- ings on this score. Newswomen who came to view the table ,decorations before a state dinner were invariably and firmly cautioned by Mrs. Mary Jane McCaffree, Mrs. Eisenhowe er's social secretary, "not. to step on the .rug;" Mamie Eisenhower will go down in history as one of the most gracious hostesses t h e White . House has ever had. She had a gift for making a guest feel welcome. And when feted at luncheon, after luncheon and fashion show after fashion show, she always had managed to con- vey the impression of genuine enjoyment.

Following a much-publicized illness that held up production of "Cleopatra" for seven weeks (and led to a still-unsettled dis- pute between Twentieth Cen- tury-Fox and Lloyd's of London over a $2,380,000 insurance claim), film star Elizabeth Tay- lor reported back to work—her temperamental teeth chattering. It was so chilly (40. degrees) in the British studio where the pic- ture is being made that Liz sat bundled in her dressing room for hours; only after the heat came up did she go through with the day's main chore—trying on flimsy Egyptian gowns. Children Should Be Taught Thrift Has 'thrift become out-model? Is it far too old-fashioned for the tempo of modern life? In a day when almost anything you want can be acquired without the expenditure of a nickel — immediately, that is — it won't seem to surprising, if many peo- ple say they can't be bothered to save money, and pay cash when they buy something. But thrift is not a dead issue, although it could become one. Take children, for instance, Columnist Sylvia Porter asks if parents are doing .their duty by instilling :thrifty habits In their children? Not as much as they • should, Children should be warned against over-indulgence in the 'buy-now-pay-later" phil- osophy. Can children save? Certainly they can. Small boys are hoard- ers by nature. Think not? Turn out their pockets and see what 'yobn !find. Look in their hicley- : holes and wonder at the loot stored there. This hoarding In- stinct can be turned to good account.

Nowadays a baby is backward if he doesn't walk at a year old or cut his first ' teeth at six to eight months, Why the, difference? What else can it be but improved feeding? Dee had little else but reek, cream 'of wheat and cod- dled eggs for the first 18 months. Canned baby food didh't exist et that time; However she grew and thrived but at a slower pace. One entry mentions meas- les, Temperature 104 — and I didn't have a doctor. She also had frequent attacks of croup there were only practical -nurses on the night shift. "I found the nurse had put uncovered -hot- water bottles next to the pati- ent. He had two second-degree burns on the right thigh and flank. I treated t h a bullet wound and the burns," Dr. Kas- tine said, "By daybreak, it was clear that Brown would reecv- er." Then the patient's well--to-do- 'wife arrived, demanded the best care for her husband, and said she would be responsible for all bills. "For the "next four and one- half months, Brown got the very best care, including more hospi- tal and office visits than 1 can count," relates Kastine bitterly. "Everything went welt." When it came time to send a bill, Dr. Kastine discussed the amount with Brown himself, The figure agreed on was. $750, and Brown not only thought it was fair, but wanted to give t(astine a present as well, Two years went by. The bill was not paid. Then Kastine was served With a subpoena on a charge of Malpractice. Why/ Simply because Brown's wife (who had divorced Brown to Marry the man who had shot him) had reneged on her pros inise to pay, "Of course, the burns the patient suffered due to my 'carelessness' Were the basis of the -Wit,' explains Kee- tied. When the full Story came out, Brown's lawyer urged him to drop the case. "Bat nothing can erase My reeold of havirig been sued for malpractice,`" says Kee- tine.
