r It would be passing' strange, acid
what might be termed a reverse play, if
a renaissance in lacrosse should be in-
spired in this year of grace by the fair
Ilex. And yet, it's possible.
Here is Canada, we don't assoeiate
lacrosse, marked as it Is by hard check-
ing, with the girls, As played in these
Dominions, lacrosse Is no placefor a lady,
But in England, it's quite different. While lacrosse is
played to a surprising extent by the male athletes on the
other side, it is also a very popular game among the girls,
to the point that a team of English women players is due to
tour the United States this year, starting this month or next,
while a male American team shuttles to England.
Possibly one of the reasons for dislike of vigorous body
checking in British lacrosse (and this dislike applies to
hockey, too) is that it has been developed primarily as a
woman's game.
St. Leonard's School, St. Andrews, Scotland and Princess
Helena College, England, were the first British girls' schools
to take to lacrosse after Queen Victoria had many years ago
watched a game between teams of French Canadians and
Iroquois Indians.
The schools did so because it was considered an ideal
and rhythmic recreation for young ladies. "Lacrosse" It
was stated, 'Thad movements based on the natural body
movement, and both sides of the body are brought into play.'
Its development was hampered by prejudices against the
participation of women in sport, which no doubt was typical
of the Victorian era, but following the collapse of most of
such prejudices through events of World War I, lacrosse for
girls began to establish itself;
By 1930, there were national associations flourishing in
all /our countries of the United Kingdom,
And today, the game rates the third most popular of all
women's team games behind netball and field hockey, with
He- own "international", Strange, isn't It, that the mother
country should in recent years have taken with more favor
to Canada's own national game, than we in Canada!

Well, it looks very much as
though the ancient and hallowed
sport of cricket is going to get
a bit of a face-lifting; and we
Ban imagine the shudder pass-
ing through the frames of those
purists who love to recall, over
their port, how the Duke of
Wellington said that the Battle
of Waterloo was won on the
playing -fields of ' Eton, (Per-
sonally, we always thought the
Duke was misquoted and that it
was the "bargain basement at
1Caton's" he recommended as a
training -ground f o r war, b u t
never mind that)

jazzed -up, to a certain extent,
and we do not refer to the fans
down in British Guiana who
s'ecently showered a cricket um-

and here we digress once again
to wonder why it is all these
bottle -heavers, in any line of
wort, are always such rotten

some time been troubled with a
slight attack of the shorts. The
folks over there, who hold the
game in such reverence, just do
not turn out in paying quanti-
ties. There are some seventeen
counties in English big-time
cricket and, until last year, more
than a dozen of them were in
the habit of finishing in the red,

Last year the Australians
visited England, and proved to
be such box-office draws that

example Warwickshire had an
average attendance of around

But, alas, the Aussies will be
elsewhere occupied this Summer,
and the lads who back the clubs
have been looking gloomily at
the prospect of further deficits.
So now a group of business men,
who love cricket but think it
could do with a bit more ginger,
have come forwards with an
offer of Trophies and Cash, And,
far from being soundly spanked
and sent to stand in a corner,
those making the offer have been
warmly welcomed by the

As everybody knows --(we just
learned it a couple of seconds
ago) - the Marylebone Cricket
Club is recognized as the holy -
of -holies in cricket, and If any-
body would be likely to frown
on such innovations it would be
the M.C.C. Yet here is how Mr.
Ronald Aird, secretary of that
august body, looks at it:
"The M.C.C. does not recog-
nize prizes for cricket but,
speaking personally, I imagine
that anything which will infuse
life into the game at the present
time must be a good thing. This
news could not have come at a
more opportune moment."

And now for those awards;
they haven't got around to call-
ing them the "Vezina Trophy"
or the like, but that will mesh -
ably come in time. But, we note
with approval that the sponsors
have had the decency to offer
the cash in the form of the
classic "guinea" rather than the
plebeian pound. Just a slight
touch of "Old School Tie" but
welcome for all that.

Transform A House
Positive Colors
Decorators now are treating
bathrooms and kitchens as full-
fledged rooms - no matter what
their size. Fast disappearing is
the notion thhey must look like
clinics in order to be efficient,
Color is banishing that antiseptic
appearance and becoming as im-
portant as comfort and conveni-
ence,
Paint can accomplish more in
bathrooms and kitchens than in
any other rooms in the house
since the areas are small, nom
'nal amounts of material and
labor are involved.
A Canadian paint company has
just introduced a fresh palette
of positive colors guaranteed to
cure the inferiority complex of
any bathroom or kitchen suffer-
ing from a severe case of faded
pastels.
Each of the 17 co-ordinated
colors harmonizes with all the
others. SO anyone can select a
color scheme for a bathroom or a
kitchen blindfold, if she wishes,
and still win the approval of a
professional decorator. The col-
as' card also shows how most of
these shades can be intermixed
in equal parts to obtain a second
palette of adventurous colors.
Real red figures prominently
in the color card under the names
of Peking red and cherry red.
This would dispel the old wives'
tale that red is too hot for kit-
chens. On the contrary, red is
the color which probably gives
the greatest decorating value per
painted inch when used with in-
telligence and taste.
Green tuns the gamut from a
cool, clean sea spray through
Chinese jade to a rich, dark ever-
green. Sea spray would make a
beautiful backdrop for those with
burnished copperware they wish
to show off to advantage. Or, a
color scheme composed of ever-
green and shell pink would do
much to conceal the age of a
bathroom or a kitchen.
In the blue family there is
cadet blue, Dresden blue and sky
blue, which decorators these days
are using alongside chestnut
brown or jersey cream with such
eye -delighting results, Orange as
an important decorating color is
reprd'sented with a flaming Tam-
pa tone to blend successfully
with pearl grey, white or sea
spray as suggestions. Among the
other shades that sing with vital-
ity and decorating value are tur-
quoise, chartreuse and buttercup
yellow.
A newly -painted bathroom may
call for a new stock of towels
since they are such good accent
colors in themselves.
The color -scheme of a kitchen
should be an expression of the
homemaker herself because she's
the one who must live with it all
day as she prepares a grand total
of 1,095 meals a year.
How Can 1 ?
Q. How can I clean pewter?
A. Pewter may be cleaned by
using any fine abrasive such as
the cleaning powder and soaps
which are advertised as non -
scratchers, or whiting and any
fine steel wool and oil. Wash
carefully in clean, hot soapsuds
afterwards, rinse and dry.
Q. What can I use as a sub-
stitute when wax Is not avail-
able for a floor that is to be used
for dancing?
A. Powdered borax may be
used, and will prove a good sub-
stitute.
Q. How can I remove a grease
spot from wallpaper?
A, This can often be removed
by dipping a flannel rag into
alcohol and rubbing gently, or
by applying flour and allowing
to remain until it absorbs the
grease.
Q. How can I remove ehoco-
late stains from fabrics?
A. Soak the material in cold
strong borax water for half an
hour. Pour boiling water through
and wash in the usual manner.
For stains on silks, or other non -
washable fabrics, sponge with
chloroform. (CAUTION: chloro-
form is an anesthetic),
Q. How can I clean steel which
has become very rusty?
A, First rub with a cut onion
and leave for a day. Then polish
it with paraffin, Or turpentine
and br'ickdust, whichever y O tI
happen to have on hand.
Q. What is a good tonic for the
liver?
A. Drink the juice of one-half
a lemon in a cup of hot water
the first thing in the morning.
Q. How can I remove a heat
at a in from a highly -polished
article of furniture?
A. Apply the following in
order, using a separate cloth for
each: Kerosene, alcohol, and
sweet or linseed oil. Rub the
last in well until the spot is no
longer visible.
Q. How can I prevent the dry-
ing out of children's rubber
shoes?
A. A little glycerin rubbed
over the rubbers before putting
them away will keep the rubber
from drying out, and they will
also wear much longer.
Q. How can I make a fine-
grained sour milk cake?
A, When making a sour milk
cake, dissolve the soda in the
milk and whip with en egg
beater. This will assure a fine-
grained cake.
Q. How can I make apple balls
for a garnish?
A. Cook one -inch apple balls
until tender in sugar syrup
colored red or green. Use them
for touching up appetizers,
salads, or dessert, or for garnish-
ing roast or vegetable dishes.
Alternate the colors when deco-
rating.
