But Simmy suppose you got the gong. I should weep. And much as I love you darling»â€" What can you do on the radio?” “Plenty,” said Simmy. A few weeks later the aunts re- ceived a message from their tremble- some nephew, suggesting that they tune in on a certain station at a certain time. “Probany he wants us to hear that girl,” said Aunt Amelia. “Wait four years for you. Don’t be silly. Some other chap would grab you up in. the first four days. No, my pretty this is a matter for im- mediate action. I’m getting the flick- er of an idea.

You’ll get another one and until thenâ€"” They listened through an amateur Simmy confided the ultimatum to Glory when she had finished her broadcast that night. She was rather bewildered. Her own name was Ryan and the Ryans of Flatbush were a pretty proud lot too but not to the point of butting into each other’s marital plans. And as for money, the Ryans had always shared what little there was without a check rein. “That’s our ultimatum,” said Aunt Janet. “As 'I get it the Qehuo iq tha+ i“ I marry: Gloria I lose my income from the estate.

Tough Aunt Amelia recalled little after the first shock. Aunt Janet remained grimly consci- ous to the end. “There has been a black streak in the Gerards for two generations,” she observed. “It was bred in with the Waley strain.

Simmy pursued the career of Uncle Eben to its climax with the bareback riding bridle. The aunts heard the studio audience laugh.

ANNIE HILBORN ACCEPTING NO BRIBES N EWTONBROOK Senator Pat Burns of Calgary who died on February 24th left an estate of about 4 million dollars. A large portion is left to Roman Catholic and other charitable and religious insti- tutions and} relatives. About one third of the estate goes to form a “Burns Memorial Trust.” Executors of the estate include a nephew, Michael John Burns, and! the Rt. Hon. R. B. Bennett. The upholstery of the chairs were held to sombre tones, gayety being introduced in the room through the use of flowers. Draperies, rugs and upholstery were in shades of gray, brown and white, with antique gold accessories. RICHMOND HILL Monday, Nlay 24- The fireplace was black tile, which did not conflict with the colours used in the room’s decorations. A wallpaper in silver and gray stripes covered the walls. Against this neutral background the fine woods of the furniture stood out in bold relief. The woodwork was done in antique white.

The moulding of the shelves conâ€" formed to the columns of the man- tel. No mirror was hung over the mantel because the housewife planned to reserve the space for a family portrait. , This was the problem a home- owner was faced with recently. The furniture, most of which had been in the family for generations, was Georgian, while the room itself was rather nondescript. The housewife decided to change the room comâ€" pletely. If your room does not suit your furniture, funds may be obtained from any Canadian bank under the generous terms of the Home Im- provement Plan to redecorate or mod- ernize. Mast home-owners purchav furni- ture to suit the house but occasion- ally the home is acquired after the furniture. In such cases, rooms must frequently be made to conform with the type of surroundings which are available. I R. W.
