AN EVENING HINT
I was admiring a very startling but smart evening ensemble
worn by a friend of mine the other night and in fear and trembl-
ing questioned the price (that, it seems, is the usural query,
these days) -and was agreeably surprised when she laughed and
gave me this very helpful accessory hint.
Get a couple of yards of sequin Cloth, coveer an old even-
ing bag. Put a wide band of it across the bottom of a silk scarf
and perhaps a narrow band of it around the cuffs of your black
velvet gloves.

THIS DAY AND AGE
Fifty-nine broken engagements have been announced itt
Na,g1 a n d this year -almost twice as many as in the .equivalent
Oetiod Of 1932.
The reasons have been: "It fizzled out!" "We felt a grow-
ing coldness". "We made a mistake".
It is nearly always add',d: "We are still the best of friends."
What is the mentality behind broken engagements? Why
are they increasing? These were two questions put to Dr. W.
Stephenson, of the Department of Psychology, University College,
London.
"For one thing," he replied, •"men no longer have the Vic-
torian sense of honor. They are much more free -minded.
"Fifty years ago a man would not have dared break off an
engagement. It always came from the woman, and it was a
serious thing. Now a man does not feel that an engagement is
binding. While the average male will not admit it, he desires
more than a girl who is sweet, fresh and who has simplicity of
character.
"We live in a more complicated age. Perhaps the man seeks
a woman of subtler temperament to be his wife.
"Men and women today live far more by emotional impulse
than by precept and axiom.
"But in the first place I think young men become engaged
almost without realizing it. They make promises under the im-
petus of their emotions which they regret when the relationship
has crystallized."
It would seem that the women of today are obliged to give
the gentlemen the benefit of the doubt!

ONTARIO NURSE IS PRESENTED AT COURT
How a Canadian nurse "went down to Buckingham Palace"
to witness the changing of the guard, not from the outside but
from a palace window, by permission of the King, is the interest-
ing story which Miss Priscilla Campbell, superintendent of the
Chatham General Hospital, writes home to friends.
Miss Campbell has been spending some months in England,
during which time she renewed acquaintanceship with Miss Black,
a graduate of the London Hospital and nurse to His Majesty the
King. Miss Black is in residence in Buckingham Palace and there
Miss Campbell was her guest at tea, privileged by permission of
Their Majesties to see through the palace and to walk in the
Queen's own garden. Later still more interesting adventures
were to open before the interested eyes of the nurse from Can-
ada, when also by permission of the King, she was invited by
MiSS Black to witness the famous changing of the guard from
inside the palace. On this second visit, she writes, she was ad-
mitted by one of the King's bodyguards, escorted to Miss Black's
apartments and with her to Prince George's living -room, on the
second floor, directly over the main entrance, where from a win-
dow she watched the historic ceremony.
With her hostess, Miss Campbell was summoned to the King's
apartments and presented to Their Majesties, who chatted in-
formally with the Canadian guest, showing particular interest in
the progress of nursing in Canada.
WATCH YOUR
DIET
By Bon Sante
Overweight is the physical indica-
tion of an incorrect, unhealthy diet.
Depend upon it: if you are overweight
you are being guilty of some serious
dietic indiscretions.
White bread is the chief offender in
producing 'superfluous flesh. By its
very character, lacking the bran and
shorts which have been taken away,
it induces overeating, One is never
satisfied. The more one eats, the
more one wants. On the other hand
whole wheat bread, which contains
the entire gain of the wheat, satisfies
quickly and one. simply cannot eat as
much.
White flour pastry is practically in
the same class as bread as a fat pro-
ducer for the same reasons, plus the
meat fats which have been added.
Avoid pastry if you would be slender
• and healthy,
The refined sugars of to -day, also
all forms of sweets made from sugar,
are another source of overweight. Cut
out sugar, or at least reduce it to an
absolute minimum, and you will be
lighter in weight and healthier. You
must use a sweetener honey is best.
Bo -very careful in the use of pota-
toes. Have them baked or boiled and
eat them sparingly, Eat the skins -
they are, good for one.
Eat meat and the fats of meat spar -
Don't Ipare Milts and vegetahles.
Eat them in any reasonable quantity.
Eat them raW as often as convenient.
Drink plenty of frult
In deserts leave puddings alone, un-
less they have a big fruit content.
Take plenty of butter, but do not over
do.
Confine yourself to one big meal a
day -at night preferred, when the
tiara Work is done. Make your other
*WS as light a oss1blo Ityou 1&Y�
the courage to live on one meal a day
you will probably feel the better for
it, satisfying any pangs of hunger by
fruits and fruit juices at any time dur-
ing the day.
If you have an overpowering desire,
for sweets eat dates and raisins. They
are very satisfying and extremely
good for one.
If an.y of our readers havr.• any ques-
tions to ask regarding diet we shall
be pleased to answer them through
the columns of this oaper.

As Vire See It
° By ED, B. WARING.
The hockey season is now well un-
der way, teams all over Canada and
the United States aie battling away
for supremacy of their respective
gremps. Here in Toronto the Maple
Leafs got off to a good start and are
already playing to near capacity
andienees, The amateur teams around
here are serving up mid-season
hockey, but they seem to want to keep
their playing a secret as the spec-
tators at some of the games wouldn't
make up one of the well known "cor-
porals guard,"
So with hockey now in full swing
it is only appropriate that this week's
"stronger than fiction" story should
,concern a hockey player. The player
is unknown around here, his name is
Christopher P. Coodle and the story
is about his attempts to break into
big time professional hockey. We
Might mention that so far the only
thing Coodle has broken into is his
little brother's money box.
It appears from what we can
gather that Chris is one of things
which just happened. He reminds
one of a jig -saw puzzle with a piece
missing. His nertzy ideas could
probably be blamed on the fact that
he was once defeated in love.
Well Chris was born, raised and
from what ,we hear, still is on a farm
.Around the village store, where the
.boys all congregated after the day's
chores are finished, Christopher is a
well known character. Besides being
champion "Shakes and Ladder's'
player he was also vice-president of
the Dramatic Club, he was a great
actor, as you will see, and in fact he
had his nose into everything.
One cold winter evening with the
thermometer away below zero the boys
of the village all congregated around
the stove in the general store, as was
the case on such evenings, and there
they discussed everything in particu-
lar and nothing in general. In the
midst of all the arguing the door
swung open and in barged one, Joseph
J. Dope, better known as the "big
promoter." He promoted everything
from cat fights up and even promoted
himself to the presidency of the
Noughts and Crosses League. After
thawing himself out, the aforemen-
tioned Mr. Dope proceeded to tell the
boys of his latest venture into the
realm of promotion. Mr. Dope
thought it was about time the fair
village of Catfish had a hockey team
and he pointed out that they were
overburdened with hockey players
and he spurred the boys by telling
them that right there they had a
real championship contender. After
a lot of debating the boys decided
to stick with Mr. Dope and it was
decided to enter a team in the County
League. After nicking old man Slit,z
who was the big butter and egg man
of this particular village,. for the
siea'essary funds the team comnienced
to practice. The boys practiced so
hard that it was thought they would
be all burned out when the season
opened. Anyhow the first game was
against the neighboring village of
Muggsville, and this was like waving
a red flag at a bull.
During all this nothing was heard
of Chris Coodle. He was something
of an unknown quality,in the prac-
tices he had shown nothing, and in
fact five minutes before game time
it was doubtful if he would even get
in this important game. He was in
the dressing room pleading with Joe
Dope to let him play, but Dopey, the
wily old fox, was adamant and
wouldn't be rushed. Mr. Dope, it may
be mentioned, was rushed into marry-
ing the "belle" of the village who
always "told" and since he has re-
fused to be rushed. However, as the
minutes quickly ticked off and no
sign of his star player, Mr. Dope had
no alternative but to give Chris
Coodle lzis big' chance, Elated with
joy Chris pulled on the necessary
sweater and pads, in fact we are told
he slipped on a little more than the
necessary and it was with difficulty
he squeezed himself through the door.
Well, to make a short story shorter,
Chris, as is usual in such cases, played
a sensational game, scoring four goals
and enabling Catfish to win a tight
struggle by ten to one.
With the plaudits of the multitudes
ringing in his ears our hero wended
his way home to tell his father of his
great playing. Apparently they don't
have publicity agents around this part
of the country. After his papa had
given him stock letter number four,
which Papas reserve for such occa-
sions, you know the one, a few words
of congratulations and then "I re-
member when I used to play." Chris
retired for the night to sleep the
sleep of heroes, which we are told is
a little different from any other
sleep.
Coodle, as is natural, became a sen-
sation overnight, as they say in the
big city, and like some wines, he im-
proved with age, scoring at least one
goal in every game. His stickhandling
was superb and he had so many fake
shots the fans christened him "Fake"
Coodle, which led one wag to remark
the monicker fitted Coodle perfectly
as he was one big fake.
Well, like all other good amateur
hockey players, Coodle began casting
longing eyes in the direction of pro-
fessional hockey. His was one league
in which the amateur standing of
players wasn't questioned, and this
is where we enter the story.
He got in touch with our special
operative in this vicinity and asked
him to try and get him some publicity
in the big city before he came down
to try his chances. After hearing
the foregoing from our friend we de-
cided that an interview would be the
proper way to start such publicity, so
we mailed a letter to "Fake" Coodle,
but as yet we have got no answer,
However, he hopes to have it by next
week, when we will delve further into
the life of this new sensation on the
hockey horizon. Even if his letter
doesn't arrive, we will be able to con-
tinue with this enthralling drama.
So, as the hockey players say, "stick
with us."

London County Council
Issues Report on Measles
Measles launched a fresh attack on
London; England, every second year,
and the next big epidemic is due to
start. By way of preparation the
London County Council has issued a
report on the facts collected in 1931-
1932.
The lesson which will be brought
home to parents is that measles is a
serious disease, especially for young
children. A group of 55,500 oases
was analyzed and it was found that
among children under two years of
age more than eight died out of
every 100. On the other hand, be-
tween the ages of two and three the
death -rate was less than three per
100, and between the ages of five
and 14 it was only • two per 1,000.
These figures should dispose, once
for all, of the theory that "it is bet:
ter to get it over early."
The actual treatment given has
not clanged during the last few
years, though the report includes an
encouraging account of experiments
with a vitamin extract which seem-
ed very useful in a small series of
cases. Ivor prevention" however,
there is a comparatively new method
which is of great importance.
Sport Garb Must Be
In Tune With Nature
New York. -Women's sports clothes
seemed a little too fancy to Amelia
Earhart Putnam -and so to -day she is
designing some herself.
"Nature," she says, "is essentially
simple, and clothes to be worn in na-
tural surroundings must be completely
harmonious with nature,"
For the last three months, the noted
Byer disclosed, she has been working
on designs for sports clothes simple
and serviceable in style. One is a new
type of overall suit for aviators.
Others are Ingenious garments for
travel and all other outdoor activities.
The new undertaking, she said, will
not conflict with her plans for broad-
ening the scope of aviation, but will
definitely complement that interest.
It was from the practical standpoint
of the pilot and the woman who
spends a great deal of time out-of-
doors that she first gave attention to
the cut and material of sports clothes.
Apparel for both spectators and
participants, she concluded, was fre-
quently over -ornamented and was de-
signed without reference to conditions
in which the garments were to be
worn.
She is going to exhibit her collec-
tion of designs late next month,
