Queen Elizabeth II, since she
left the sehoolroom, has had to
wear clothes influenced to some
extent by the circumstance; of
her public engagements.
First she must eensider those .
ubiquitous. cameras. Her clothes
must show up well against a
crowd in black and white pile-
tegraphe. For this reason the
Queen often chooses light colors,
People who wait hours to see
the Queen pass by want to sae
her face and catch a glimpse of
her smile. Her hats, therefore.
must be either small or have off--
the-face brims.
Since her wedding, the Queen
has been more adventurous in
her styling and many here credit
the good dress sense of her hus-
band, the Duks of Edinburgh for'
this.
For her current tour India.•
Pakistan, Tibet, and Iran, the
Queen bad more than 90 •outfits,
with special dresses for each bag
function, and a variety. of _Cli-
mates had to be considered, too.
Queen Elizabeth's chief dress-
maker is the usually cheerful,
smiling Norman Hartnett, •As

,itiv has been seen AU„ Mrs.
Kennedy during h anom suer filet ie
or`or`more as a resident of the
White House, but her presence
has been felt in . a very positive
way.
For she is obviously a rather
positive woman, with a strong
feeling for • the artistic fitness of
things, This was apparent al-
'most immediately,
Like any wife .coming into, a
new home, .she looked it over
and saw things to be done, First
of ell she Was struck by the lack
of dautelliq ir en.istitea'pseprinobdiffeuntue the
in
rooms.
A quick tour of the White
House brought to light hidden
""treasures" in downstairs rooms
and tucked. away in locked cab,
inets, As a result some of these
have . been brought forward for
use as public display. She saw
paintings which she felt • could
be more prominently displayed
to advantage in other parts of
the house.
Soon the American public
• began to realize that this young
woman with her quiet, elmost
shy appearance is a person with
a mind of her own and not
afraid to express- it,.
Indeed, of all the nation's First
Ladies, it ie doubtful if any has
come into the White House and.
given it the imprint of her own
personality in so short a time.
Each First Lady has, in some.
way, left her signature there in
some contribution to its historic
mosaic, but this has generally
come over the course at years;
not weeks. Mrs. Eisenhower, for
instance, made it her project to
complete the china collection so
that there are now pieces rep,
resenting all first families.
Jacqueline Kennedy . plunged,
into White Houses housekeeping
like an art collector into an an-
tique shop, She immediately
came upon a historic desk made
from the timbers of the British
ship Resolute.
The desk was one given to
President Hayes in 1878,. and
used by many Presidents since.
But during the remodelling of
the White House in the Truman
adthinistration it was moved.
downstairs to what is known as
the "broadcast room."
• Mrs., Kennedy saw it not only
as appropriate 'for the President's
office because of its historic
value, but also because of its
connection . with the sea. The
President, as a Navy man, had
requested her to -secure some
paintings of naval battle scenes
for his office. • These she found
among White House art. but the
desk was an unexpected die-
covery.
Many tourists have long ad-
mired the lovely Howard. Chan-
dler Christie nortrait of Mrs.
Calvin Coolidge on the ground
floor corridor. So did Mrs, Ken;
nedy, and promptly had it hung
in the more elegant setting of
the Red Room.
Mast significant of all, per-
haps, is her conclusion that
something should be done . to
remedy the lack of authentic
period 'furniture in the first floor
rooms—that is, the East Room,
the Red, Blue,. and Green Rooms,
and the State Dining Room,
Mrs. Kennedy was by no
-means the first to note the un-
fortunate contrast between the
beauty Of these rooms and the
rather nondescript furniture in
them. This has been deplored by
visitors and by previous admin-
istration.s, writes. Josephine Rip-
ley in the Christian Science
1Vioni tor.
Now the present First Lady
has taken the initiative toward
remedying this deficiency. She
has been in close touch with the
Fine Arts Commission in all 'of
"Heck, I don't _know if I have
liability insurance!" The other
girl took over the form and fill-
ed. in the answers without ask-
ing any questions! I had my in-
surance policy with me as well
as the voucher because last year
our agent hadn't given ,enough
inforMation and I had to gp back
for the policy. This year I came
prepared and sure enough it was
needed. Our agent is going to
hear about that, believe me.
Another thing, next year-, I'll be
getting my plates the first week
in January as I have done other
years — that is, D.V. and wea-
ther permitting.
What's the sense of putting it
off? One might just as well pay
first as last. Money is just as
hard to find one time as another.
Well, here we go, back to farm
topics. You know, sometimes
when I watch- "Country Time"
on TV it almost scares me. The
progress that has taken place
since we were actively engaged
in farming is astounding. Eggs
never touched by human - hands
except when taken from. the hens
— even that wouldn't be neces-
sary with trap-nests. Suction
cups pick up eggs; conveyor
belts take them from one opera-
tion to another; 'eggs Moved
from hens to packing plants in
48 hours. It would-,take a wise
hen these days to know her own
eggs. Efficiency . wonderful,
but I wouldn't want it. Foe the
sheer joy of farming give me
the days . when we worked. with•
our biddies like buddies, with
names for those with unusual
characteristics. And they were
never scared when we walked
among them, Thirty years ago
most -small flocks had the run of
the farm,. laying somewhat strong
flavoured eggs, But •oh; the joy
of it when we found a motherly
hen venturing forth with a clutch
of fluffy ethic.ks hatched in a nest

made for the Indian visit.
As soon as the Queen has
chosen the materials, Mr. Hart-
nell retires, usually to his eosin-
try house not far from Windsor
Castle, to make delicate water-
color sketches of the suggested
models.
Much discussion goes on when
the Queen 'sees these. Each
design is conned in detail and

ground in which it is likely to
be worn. Far the Indian visit
there were gorgeous settings,
and eastern trappings, for which

and white with gold or silver
for evening to show up ,well
against the .strong reds, greens.
and blues worn by British and
Indian guests.
For her first State banquet in
Pakistan the Queen chose a.
white satin evening gown with
a dramatic folded train of ems
erald satin flowing from the
deep neckline, writes Ruth Jor-
dan in the Christian Science
Monitor.
Another evening dress was a
slender sheath, white crepe em-
broidered in crystal brilliants
and 'emeralds to match the
Queen's emerald and diamond
tiara.
For day wear the Queen chose
loose, collarless coats over cool-
looking dresses, one in gold
shantung and another in peri-
winkle blue.
Once the Queen has decided.
on the styles, there is bustling
activity in Mr. Hartnell's work-
rooms, behind the gray and sil-
ver salon with its crystal chan-
deliers. Madame Vera is•linchpin
of this activity,
Skilful fitters go from the
salon to the Palace at intervals
where fittings are carried out
under the watchful eye of Mr.
Harteeil and Madame Vera..
Although there is a dummy of
the Queen's figure, she has the
usual number of fittings as ma-
terials do not respond to an in-
animate shape as they do to a
moving figure.
Only these who have seen the
Queen at close range realize how
petite she is and how small her
waist:
Ac many 'of those thousands
of people who flock to see the
Queen only see her head even
when she stands up in the limou-
sine as she has been doing in her
Indian tour her hate are most
Imo-en:ant.
The Queen chose quite frivo-
lous models of petals and flowers
in pale colors. These sat high on
her head and held their own
against a background of mag-
nificent bright turbans worn by
the Indians. Many of the Queen's
hats are made by Claude St. Cyr,
of Paris, who has a Londcn salon.
on the ground floor of Mr. Hart-
neras house.
Queen Elizabeth's relaxed and
simple manner makes a fitting.
at Buckingham Palace an enjoy-
able session. Often she keeps the
company laughing at her amus-
ing remarks. She herself clear-
ly enjoys every minute of plan-
ning, and fitting. Those who
serve her experience a charming
relaxed gaiety and are warmed
by a sweet smile which is neces-
sarily missing from solemn pub-
lic appearances.

Friday, March 3, was a record
day in Ontario insofar as warm
air and bright sunshine were
concerned. Partner was out for
a walk late that afternoon and
stopped to talk to a neighbour.
Fred remarked on the lovely
spring-like day. "Yes," agreed'
Partner, "but there's rough wea-
ther ahead,"
"Rough weather:" repeated
Fred incredulously.
"Yes," answered Partner —
and added "Ever heard of sun-
dogs, Fred?"
"I've heard of them but I can't
say I really know what they
are."
"Look Over towards the west
and you'll see them."
Fred looked, and there on
either side of the setting sun
were two perpendicular bars of
red-gold light. "Those are sun-
dogs," explained Partner. "When-
ever you see them you may look
for rough weather within about
twenty-four hours."
And we got it — snow and
wind during the night, followed
by rain with the promise of
freezing rain later cn . . and
Chicago' got its tornado.
We don't often see sun-dogs
in Ontario. Out west we used to
watch for them. After they aps
peered many a farmer would
make a hurried trip to -town to
get supplies before the weather
chanced, Scmetimes the change
might be delayed forty-eight
hours, but it always came.
Well, I'm glad the weather
stayed fine here until I had my
special little chore accomplished.
That is, getting my new licence
plates for the car. Yes, I was
one of the late-getters, not from
choice but necessity. I couldn't
very well get them while I was
confined to bed.
I got to our local office about
ten o'clock on the morning of
March a The' parking lot ac-
commodates about 100 cars. 1
drove in and around three times
but never a space could I find.
Finally I double-parked while
went to' speak to a teethe officer,
"Isn't there ever any let-up
around here?' I asked. Cate
were still rolling in,
"No, ma'am!"
"Then when is the best time to
come — can you tell me that?"
"Eight-thirty in the Morning
— that's when we open"
So I came away and went back
next morning. arriving at eight-
twenty-five. Even so' there were
nine men ahead of me waiting
on the steps for the doors to
open. I got in the line-up, In
about twenty minulees I was out
again, my precious plates clutch-
ed jealousy in my arms. By that
time the 'office. and lobby were
fun and all the perking space
