Anyway it was only 10:30 when I reached the Exhibition grounds — too early for it to be uncomfortably crowded. So for once in my life I was able to take my time in the Women's Building and really see all there was to see. Such beautiful work, and so much variety! Like everyone else I was absolutely sold on the beautiful little shell pictures made by an inmate of the Mercer reformatory, in. fact had 1 been given the choice, I would rather own the shell pictures that: the fabulous Hope diamond! That dia- mond , . , I looked at it, and looked at it, making several trips to do so, and to me there was something un- canny in its flashing blackness, One thinks of a diamond as being bright, with sparkling lights—but this was a greyish -black, hinting at some hidden but sinister beauty within its depths. It was very easy to connect the diamond with all its ill-fated history, The display of period fashions through the centuries was very in- teresting—although 1 thiuk they :trust have run out of shoes as the footwear on some models was very modern. The quilts were lovely —some of then: quite new in design. The one that appealed to me most featured the crest and motto of the Women's Institute in the centre of the quit. The design was very -cleverly car- ried out. The Canadian Handicraft Guild had a wonderful exhibit— everything made by hand, and made in Canada, From silver to wood- work, and pottery to weaving. There are a lot of clever fingers in Canada. There were two other exhibits that attracted me so notch. One was an exhibit of wallpapers and the Encore Performance—After Willie Garrison was bitten in the a 'm by a mule named 13111, a photographer was sent out to get _a picture of the two staking up. Just as he was about to snap the peacemaking picture of Willie and Bill, the mule took another lite Pt the hoy. This time he chewed the shirt instead of Willie, but the youngster says, "No more pictures." other was •Canadian fabric used largely its making drapes, The de- signs on both the wallpapers and the drapes were really marvellous. What one could do with stoney_ to spend and a house to furnish) One wonders why anyone ever chooses attytlting that is drab and colourless when there are so ninny beautiful things to choose from. After seeing all this—and plenty more I haven't even mentioned — I made my way to the tearoom Where I had a luncheon date with the Exhibition! These luncheons are really something to enjoy — rooms with a restful setting, look- ing out towards the lake, over the heads of the milling crowd. Good service, an appetising meal and in- teresting companions. This day was Press and Radio Day, and so there were many people familiar to most of us by name who were there in the flesh, It was all very friendly and informal and I enjoyed every min- ute of it, I stet several lady edit- ors whom I knew—but it didn't really matter if you knew people or not — everybody talked to every- body else — press people are like that anyway, After lunch a little woman from Manitoba asked if site could walk around with Isle a bit as site was alone. So we stayed together almost an hour and she thought everything was rsondcrful--on this, her first visit to the Exhibition. It was too cool to listen to the band for very long so I went into the buildings again through — the flower show and the Art Gallery, Then a cup of tea and away to get the bus clown town to meet daughter, so we could have the trip home to- gether. That bus trip down town was a bit of a nightmare — we got tied up in the five-o'clock traffic and waited for ages on Front Street. You will notice I haven't men- tioned Partner. On farms we often have to divide forces,as it were. This day that I had arranged to go to the Exhibition, Bob was away to a threshing and we were also ex- pecting a coal delivery, so Partner stayed at home. But the next day Father and Daughter made the trip. And they did things properly, They not only went to the Exhibition but they' took in dinner and a show down town. They had quite a day — thanks to our local bus service. Teen-agers swarmed the bus, leav- ing less nimble older folk standing room only. Corning home, Partner and Daughter were at the regular departure platform on time. No sign of the bus. When Daughter made inquiries she was first told it would be along any minute, and then that It had pulled in at a different platform and left—un- announced, So they had no choke 'What disconcerting discoveries we snake in the first year of mar- riage I The ador- ing mar who was so perfect in our eyes re- veals traits Which arnate and confuse us.

One such young husband sets down on paper his disillusions: His wife doesn't start getting din- ner until he arrives hone, and the menu, he complains, "belongs in a tea room"; Her afternoons belong to her bridge club (Ile has not yet found what she does in the n;orning) and the bedroom is not straightened up before night: Often, coating in his front door, he hears her at the telephone chat- ting with her old boy friends; She dresses up after dinner (leave ing the dishes in the sink) and is ready to go places—while he yearns for the quiet evenings of rich conn- panionship they used to know.

Again there was standing room only, Partner refused to get on and was then told another bus was on its way. It came—an hour later! Two a,nt. when they arrived home. Quite a day! TRUE COURTESY A United States filer producer asked an English friend to look at one of his society" filing to see that everything was all right. After watching it for a while, the Englishman asked: "Why does that man keep his hat on when he's talking tto a lady in the drawing room?" "Because," said the producer, "ire can't take it off—another lady's coining its presently and he's got tot raise his hat t her." Alb TO HOOPER RATING Radio comedian Bob Hope says he is very interested in the reports that an Air Forces plane has exceeded the speed of sound. "This means," says Bob, "that I could tell a joke here in Hollywood, real- ize that it wasn't funny, and send a plane out to shoot it down over Chicago." HOTEL CLIFTON NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y.
