WT. asks: "What will I use to take head marks off the back of a cllesterfield chap' which is env- meet oweyed with a colonel wool and rayon romp ?" Answer: Carlton tetrachloride is non inflammable. Moisten to piece of clean cloth and beginning well out- side the spot, rub in circles towards the centre. bl(•s. J. T. says; ":;ince tie, coal has been put in the cellar the stairs tore greasy, They have been washed several times. Wll(11 211a11 1 use?" Answer: What kind of wood Itre these steps, Mrs. J. T.? A grease 11 101 may be due to the amount of soap left on. A clean cloth and a basin of cleat' hot water should be used to rinse off any soapy water. Lye tied to small amount of soap in the water is the best solution. Remember to fol- low directions on the lye tin and use a brush instead of a scrub cloth, TAKE A TIP 1, Do not send matches ---they are forbidden in the mails, 2. send a mending kit in your sold- ier box, they often take a stitch in lime. 3. Candy that is made with enrol syrup seems to keep best. 4, If foods and soap products or even shoe laces are peeked in the salve parcel, be careful to wrap everything In waxed paper. then put i(1 tins. The tins may be kept in Place by using crushed paper. 5. Do not watt to flnd out your friend's need and talus send a belated Christmas parcel.

HIRING DRESSES FOR COPYING Brings American Dollars to Britain 14iring out dresses for copying is the latestscheme Inc bringing Am- erican dollars to Britain. -1t is the idea of Miss Raymond Ralrvis, a leading l,onllon fashion - designer, who left 1nl' New York with fifty dress models and forty coats, to- gether with hats and other acces- sories. all autumn designs, for day and evening wear. Miss Rahvis will exhibit her dresses h1 New 'York and charge Am- erican designers $100 entrance fee, Which will enable them to copy one dress. Afterwards, she will take the dresses to Chicago. Hollywood. New Orleans and Kansas City. This "Hire to Copy" achene win be run ideal form of export to Britain, for it entails very little use of mat- erials; it is, in effect, an export of British ideas, The models emphasise the dropped shoulder, achieved with trimming placed down the sleeves, yokes and insets of contrasting colour. Collars have incrustations in the shape of labels and considerable attention has been given to embroidery, The tweed ensembles feature mustn't contrasts like grey herring -bone for the skh't and brown herringbone for the jacket.

Paving To Port Albert, -- The Sterling Construction Co. of Windsor has moved in much equip moot preparatory to paving the five - odd mile; at the north card of the Dunlop -Port Albert airport road. (ince everything is in readiness for the laying of the hot asphalt of is expected that one-third of a mile> per (lay can be done. The Sterling cnntrar 1 amounts to $49,- e()0, according to James Ballantyne, M.P.I'. Total cost. taking into ac- count work and material provided by the Department of Highways, is $07,((00, The Sterling contract has recently been extended and now in- eludes some of the mileage which the Department originally intended to do itself, but which it has given up owing to the uncertainty of the weather. The Department's cold -mix road north from Dunlop has now been completed nearly to Sheppard - ton and will b1. finished in to few days. Latest advice is that both hills approaching Port Albert. village and the highway within the village is to be paved.

Ivan, who loves a wager, went to the front door, scanned the skies and returned to say, "The bet's on." The two men put up their money with Mr. Robins and waited, an eye on the clock. Twenty-five minutes passed and Mr. Papernick was in high glee—but not for long. At twenty-seven minutes it began to sprinkle and at twenty-nine minutes it was pouring. The weather man collected the ten dollars and shortly atter bid his friends good night. Walking in the Highlands a man found that his watch had stopped.
