Let's ' Chat
A 'Woman's Viewpoint on This and That
By MBA
Children playing on the high-
way is something no adult likes
to see for obvious reasons
• When we Were raking leaves
Saturday afternoon, six or seven
young lads were playing cops -
and -robbers, or whatever young-
sters play with guns nowadays...
And were jumping from a con-
struction stand at the side of the
road onto the highway right in
front of passing cars . . The
ttraffic was slow—fortunately
but when the new pavement is
finished it certainly won't be...
a :e a
Speaking of raking leaves, the
English poet, Rupert Brooke, in
his poem "The Great Lover,"
spoke of the smell of burning
leaves in autumn, was one of his
"loves" . Maybe we're not
poetic, but we feel that Mr.
Brooke possibly didn't rake the
leaves himself or else he didn't
have the contributions of nine
full-sized trees to worry about..,
Highlights in fall fashions, as
displayed at the Fashion Shaw,
', sponsored by the RCAF Officers'
Wives Auxiliary, included
trim black afternoon dresses of
crepe, taffeta or satin, accented
by tucks, large pockets, shawl
collars . . smartly lined color-
ful wool jerseys.. . fitted coats
of broadcloth are back, some
trimmed with fur . chic belt-
ed raincoats with detached hoods
in satin and nylon . . . colorful
satin and moire housecoats and
lounging pyjamas . ;floor -
length formals in pastel shades
of taffeta, moire . , . sophisticat-
ed black crepe and lace "cock-
tail dresses" . smart full-
length and shortie fur coats. .
The Fashion Show. Was as ef-
fectively staged at the RCAF
Station Theatre, as :any profes-
sional show we have seen . ,
Opened by two young trumpeters;
iVie'v Lou Sills and Pat Meir,
Seaforth, the first scene revealed
a group of juniors in 'housecoats'
and pyjemas . . . These models
were Alice Ann and Jeanie Nixon,
Elizabeth Stewart, all of Sea -
'forth, and Suzanne Parrot and
Wendy Carpenter .
Mrs. George MoLay wearing a
red dinner dress with gold and
red sequin belt and corsage of
white carnations• made an excel-
lent commentator . Flt. Lieut.
Harding played soft organ music
throughout the show . . .
a a
Ending the first half of the
show was a wedding party . .
I The bride in traditional white
satin . . the guests in pastel
formals . However, the groom,
in formal evening wear stole the
show .. . His woe begone facial
expressions exclaiming only too
fordibly "What am I doing here?"
--brought the house down . . .
The models who carried on like
professionals were Mrs. A.C. Hull,
Mrs. H, Bracken, Mrs. E. A. Mc -
