SPRING PRELUDEby Elsie Worthington

Take a soft shapelessstraw bag, invert it, pinchit here and there, add a tuckat some strategic point, putin a pin or two, decoratewith gorgeous flowers, andpresto! -an up-to-the-min-ute spring chapeau is creat-ed.

The secret lies in know-ing just where to "pinch" &"tuck" and "pin" to achievethat chic look that sets a

' hat apart. That secret is oneof the things the ladies ofthe night school millinery

'class are learning. Workingunder instructor Mrs. C.J.Wrightson the students havefinished making winter hatsand are now busy wi th springtonnets .

After choosing a stylethe ladies go to work on the"foundation". This may beonly a wire frame, but is us-ually a "shape" made ofbuckram (stiffened cotton or

linen material). One student

is using a piece of fibreglasswindow screen purchased ata local harware counter.This has the advantage ofbeing firm; softer than buck-ram for sewing, and is notaffected by dampness.

One attractive wide-brimmed hat that would dojustice to any lovely brides-fnr-'-r* was in use by *he '--

Having made the hat form,the student then covers itvithsilk, satin, fancy straw

structor as a demonstrationmodel. I was told that thecrown of softly draped silkmesh was made of curtain-ing!

or straw cloth. Wide bandsof fine mohair braid; lovely;coloured plaited straw; rib-bon; feathers, and a galaxyof artificial flowers providea rather bewildering select-ion for the trimming of mi-lady's hat. In making achoice , personal taste isguided by the experience ofMrs. Wrightson, who I earn-ed millinery craft from "thelining out".

Students are also learn-ing the technique of remod-elling an old hat/into amore fashionable style. Iwatched the changing of anoutmoded felt into a morestylish shape by means of akettle of steam and a roundblock of wood. Here again,the fingers played an im-portant part, pulling andcoaxing the hat into its newshape.

When the ladies appearin their new Easter bonnetsthey should receive praise; .,,not only for the stunningcreations they have achiev-ed , but also for ingenuityin using anything that comesto hand, be it tKe windowscreen or the bedroom cur-tain I

Of course, a new .hatcol Is for new shoes; and agal needs a matching hand-bag,, doesn't she?And nat-urally there must be a newdress to go with the ensemb-le. That's why a new hatdoes so much for a woman's

morale. And she ca n saveu»oney by making it herself!

WHAT'S COOKING ONSALT SPRING ISLAND

LEFTOVERS - The thrif-ty housewife hates to throwanything away, but what canbe done with tiny bits ofleftovers? Try these sugges-tions:Poultry stuffing gives a newflavour to soup.Add applesauce or cannedfruit (chopped) to a batchof cookies. Use less milk.Chop or grind ham or baconstir into beaten egg and fry.Makes a change for sand-wich filling.Stir grated cheese into break-fast hotcake batter. If thefamily doesn't like itleast it will wake them upenough to protest!

Mrs. H. J. Carlin andMrs. E. Worthington attend-ed the government receptionheld following the openingof the Legislature in Victoria.Other Salt Spring residentsnoticed among the throng of3000 packed into the CrystalBallroom, were Mr. &Mrs.P.G. James and Mr. and Mrs.J.D, Fletcher.

One day he arrived at work wild-eyed with excitement felling the crew, in

great detail, of a big bear that had attacked his cabin the night before, and ex-plained how he had finally driven it off with a club. His friends never did re-veal to him that they, themselves created the commotion, scratching and growl-ing behind his cabin, and he stayed inside every minute, venturing only a fewtimid cries of, "Go away".

WORDS OF INSPIRATION"I the Lord will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee,

Fear not; I will help thee". Isaia.h 41:13.Do not look forward to the changes and chances of thM

life infegi;; rather look to them with full hope that, as they

arise, Cfed, whose you are, will deliver you out of them.He has kdpt you hitherto, -do you but hold fast to His hand,and He will lead you safely through all things; and whenyou cannot stand, He will bear you in His arms. Do notlook forward to what may happen tomorrow; the same ever-lasting Father who cares for you today, will take care ofyou tomorrow, and every day. Either He will shield youfrom suffering, or He will give you unfailing strength tobear it. Be at peace then, and put aside all anxious thought.

Francis de Sales.

PRESS CLUB MEETINGby Bea Hamilton

Elsie Worthington and Iwent to the meeting of theCanadian Women's Press Clubin the Press Building in Vic-toria last week-end. Wefound that they had made$65on the recent draw of thecake baked by Mrs. MurielWilson - this goes toward abursery for some graduatestudent who wishes to cont-inue her studies in journal-ism. One or two Victoriapeople won the prizes. MissBess Forbes, of the Times,moved a vote of thanks to allwho had bought tickets etc.Elsie and I had a good time& met many of the Press wo-men. Also we met our guest

speaker, Lance Whittaker ofthe Oak Bay Leader. We en-joyed his excellent talk onthe Doukhoborproblem. Elsieis writing his talk out - andit will be worth reading.There seems to be two sidesto the Doukhobors - inside &outside - and the trouble isthat when the Doukhoborscome inside-out, they areminus clothes- and it is justtheir way of .protesting be-cause we numbskulls cannotgrasp the message they aretrying to give us - even whenthey give us the bare facts!Oh, well-"This B.C. Gov-ernment, "says Mr. Whittak-er, "is doing more to helpthe Doukhobor problem thanany government so far. Andit is a very real problem. "

LETTERS-TO-THE-EDITOR"-Dear Sir: I am not what mymother would have called a"natural born grumbler".Still 'n all, I do feel that acertain gentleman who drivesdown Fulford Hill could usea little more restraint in theuse of his horn.

Last evening, while try-ingto rest after a particular-ly tiring day, three stridentand prolonged blasts fromthat blankity-blank hornjust about took the top of myhead off.

Mr. Motorist, if youmust warn your friends ofyour approach, why not senda runner ahead of you, or onbright days, light a signal

fire?These methods would

not disturb the peace andharmony that go towardsmaking Fulford Hill such adelightful place in which tolive. (Signed) Winifred

Colmer".
