Walton acoredl about half way in the first period, and then again about 10 minutes later. It would appear they had run out of goals right then, as they did not score again during, the game. 1dse towel rushed one in !before the end of the first half, to make it 2-1 at half time. The boys played strenu- ous football, each side trying very hard. However, Listowel put one paait McDonald, to tie the score 2.2. It was noted, with no little amuyement by the crowd, that the President of the league, Ed. Rich- ards, played in Menet for the visi- tors. This was due to the fadt of a shortage of players. It would seem that these teams, are evenly matched, as the first game played in Ethel ended in a score of 1-0 against Listowel.

Mrs. John Laing, the former Margaret Scott, was married in 1901 in this dress of organdy, which is worn tonight by Elinor Henderson. We have a copy of the original write-up which appeared in The Huron Expositor in 1901. Mrs. Laing adds a word of her own regarding the large bouquet of flowers carried by the bride. The bridal flowers were ordered from the Mitchell Nursery, to be called for on the day of the wedding. The night before, a severe frost cut down the blooms. and the nursery was not able to fill the order. Here was a dilemna, but some friends of the bride role to tdie occasion and gathered what flowers they could find that had escaped the frost, and so the bride was able to walk to the altar carrying "a large bouquet of flowers". Mrs. Laing also gave us informa- tion on the cost of the dress, item by item. This, too, is quite interest- ing. The material for this model consisted of: 7% yards organdie at 35c yard, $2.71; yard overlace at 50c yard, 25c; 25 yards lace at 3c yard, 75c; 10 yards insertion at 4c yard, 40c; 1/2 dozen buttons, 7c; featherbone for collar., 11c; ribbon for belt, 15c; thread, 6c; total, $4.50. It was made in Stratford by Miss McGee who charged $1.50 - total cost of gown, $6.00. The dress was two-piece, waist and skirt. An embroidered camisole was worn under the waist. In those days, in order to make the skirts set out nicely, it was necessary to wear at least two starched underskirts - white petticoats they were called. Mrs. Laing wore two. They were handmade and required for the making of each: 2 yards bleached cotton at 8c yard, 16c; 4 yards cot- ton embroidery at 28c yard, $1.12; 6 yards cotton insertion at 10c yard, 60c; total cost of each $1,88.

She had a teeny-weeny wire affair, 'Which she wore for several years after she was married, in fact until it wore out. Had it not worn out she might still be wearing it on dress occasions, as I suppose I have the same flat or hollow back (whichever I thought it was) as I had 53 years ago. I have no re- collection of ever having traded it in for a later model. 13. Our next gown is being mod- elled by Isabel Shannon, the grand- daughter of the original owner, who was Mrs. John Shannon, mother of Hiram Shannon. She was forYnerly Elmira Blanchard and was married in 1901. The material in the dress is cream brocaded wool cashmere. Lovely, isn't it? Did you notice the bustle? 14.

Mrs. Ada Reid (formerly Ada Galbraith) is wearing her own dress which was first worn in 1926. The material is chiffon with silver pleating. Isn't that a gorgeous shade? 24. Now this creation was the height of fashion when it was first worn in 1928. It belongs to Mrs. Ross Savauge, the former Gladys Holland, and is being worn tonight by her daughter, Sandra. The ma- terial is silk lace over crepe. 25. We have another gown of 1928 era, and this dress which Bar- bara Hillis is wearing 'belonged to her mother; Mrs. Richard Hillis, the former Ella Turnbull, Both Mrs.• Hillis and Mrs. Savauge were mar- ried by the Rev. W. P. Lane, a for- mer minister of Northside United Church. Mrs. J. A. Stewart is our bride at this point; 1930 is the year she and Jim were married. She was supposed to wear her own wedding gown of taffeta with an overdress of, pink point d'esprit. However, when she went to put the dress on tonight, it fell to pieces, so she is wearing instead this pretty dress of blue crepe with pink rosebuds. This was the dress she wore to her sister -in-l'aw's wedding. 27. ,Our next gown which is be- ing worry tonight by Betty Lang- ford, is of imported French lace and belongs to Mrs. J. C.

Hart, another Seaforth girl, the former Mary Matthews, who was married in 1933. It is of silk velvet and is being worn tonight by Joan Tal- bot. Can't you ima.gine it as be- coming on Mary as it is on Joan? 30. Mrs. W. Arthur Wright is the owner of the next dress. She is the former Gladys Ducklow, and was married in 1934. The dress is of georgette and our model is Mar- ilyn Hillis. 31. Now we have the dress of Mrs. J. F. Scot, the former Mabel Livingstone. This pink lace gown which Sheila McFadden le model- ling, was first worn in 19351, and must have looked very lovely on Mrs. Scott. 32. Our next model is wearing her own wedding dress which is of silk crepe. Mrs. William Leeming, the former Margaret Love, was married in 1935. Imagine changing your name from 'Love'. 33. Helen McGonigle, our next model in this gown of lace, is wearing the dress first worn by Mrs. Elmore Stephenson, the for- mer Margaret Robinson, who was married in 1935. 34. Here is another model wear- ing her mother's dress. Margaret Stuart is modelling this satin gown first worn by Mrs. W. J. Stuart, formerly Sadie Murphy, in 1936. 35. Here is another model we all know well. In 1937 Mrs. John Stinson, formerly Isabelle Morris, wore this gown whimh was then white lace, complete with veil of fine embroidered net, worn over the face. Perhaps you would like to hear some points of interest in connection with this wedding and gown. Mr. and Mrs.. Stinson were married by the Rev. E. Crossley Hunter in First "United Church, Hamilton, It was an extremely hot day and there were 2,00.0 people crowded into the church. The bride and groom left Immediately for China. In China the dress was cop- ied exactly by a Chinese tailor for a W.M.S. bride. who wore Mrs. Stinson's veil with it. It. then grac- ed the heads of 11 Chinese brides. The dress was packed away in a dugout due to the Japanese air raids. A bomb closed one entrance and a landslide closed the other. As rain fell heaviry for three days, the dugout filled with water. When the wedding dress was rescued it was a mottled, pink, having lain near a red Chinese skirt. Bleaches failed to remove all dye. On return from furlough, it was dyed brown.. The 40 satin buttons were rusted and replaced. with Chinese band - carved peach stones. The last Chin, ese bride to wear the veil did not return it -it had rotted In the dug- i„r; 11, �.1 l+igar7, 1N1 "GAUi "T" SHIRTS For Simmer Wear Cable string knits, eyelet knits, Jersey knits, le plain shades er two- tone colors.
