Late Ann Bradley Fooste By MARGARET I. McLEAN Ole! But Mind The Prickles! a blue and silver brocade jack- eted dress worn by Mrs. Claire Moore was particularly charm- ing. with a matching hat of the same material. Pat Cunningham appeared in a cream and gold brocade outfit, a sheath dress with the neckline dipping low in the back over which was worn a short jacket, the sleeves trimmed with mink. On her hair, Pat wore a small mink shell hat. A very swish theatre icostume in gold and black bro- }cade was modelled by Mrs. Viv- ian Wright. Luxurious Furl “Celebrities in Fur" was cer- tainly well named. High point was the full length coat of aut- umn haze mink modelled by Vivian Wright. With its luxur- ious shawl collar. easy flowing back and spiral sleeves it look- ed every bit its price tag of $2.700. Mrs. Wright also mod- elled a full length coat of Can- adian ermine, in a deep rich shade of brown with a shirred shawl collar with adjustable sleeves swirled from deep arm- holes.

Casual, young and elegant was the three quarter length muskrat coat with a wide not- ched collar, priced at $350. A grey lamb full length coat with a swinging flare and a shawl collar of sapphire mink was priced at $850. The clothes for less dressy occasions were equally elegant. Mrs. Dorothy Sowdon was an example of urban elegance in a chocolate brown tweed stroll- er suit with a velvet collar. Mrs. Isobel Huckvale showed a teal blue coat of flowing cape cut and caplet sleeves and black muskrat collar and cuffs which any woman in the audience would be happy to own. With it she wore a high crowned hat of black dyed mink with an off- the-face brim. Mrs. Audrey Davis was com- pletely chic in the camel-toned skirt, blouse and jerkin topped by a gay, young raccoon coat. The black and white tweed suit trimmed with fox was the ul- timate in smart sophistication. A very smart brown boucle suit with frog closings was mod- elled by Mrs. Ruthann Walker. Completing the costume was an exquisite mink stole. Another stunning outfit she modelled was a tea] blue and black bro- cade costume. Casual clothes were all ex- tremely smart. Pat Cunning- ham’s grey skirt with jerkin and blouse, topped by a leopard fabric coat began the parade. Next Audrey Davis modelled camel-toned slims, also with a jerkin, and this time a print blouse and shag sweater. Coats were both sensible and elegant. from the taupe coat with fox collar worn by Ruthann Walker to the smart brown diagonal weave coat and mink collar worn by Claire Moore.

Quebec." reported Sam Carlisle. an associate and general sales manager for 15 years. In the early summer this year, the firm moved to their new and larger Thornhill of- fices in the former Riddell house which they purchased, substantially renovated and added a large parking lot. According to Mr. Carlisle. the move has had many re- actions mixed with sentiment among the McLean staff but it was felt necessary to move to the heart of the new de- veloping commercial net. Street, in Toronto and the Richmond Heights Shopping Centre. The fascinating hats were from Georgena Spearn Millinery of 2520 Yonge Street, at St. Clements, in Toronto and also at the Richmond Heights Shopping Centre. The fact that these stores are such close neighbours made it possible to have so many matching hats \and dresses. The glamorous furs were kindly loaned by Ken Stiff Furs Limited of 1760 Avenue Road and the Richmond Heights Shopping Centre. Marie Fash- ion Wigs at Lothian Mews, 96 Bloor St. W. supplied the wigs seen on some of the models. Jewellery was by Bond-Boyd & Company Limited and Mar- vella. The stage decor added much to the show. It consisted of hanging baskets of flowers in brilliant tones and was the work of Mrs. Eileen Peer and her inspired committee. Music throughout the even- ing was supplied â€" most ad- equately -â€" by Mrs. Peggy Hooper at the piano. As each lady entered the hall she was presented with a tube of lip- stick provide-d by Richard Hud- nut and following intermission the ladies were given a demon- stration of “the magic of make- up" by Miss Louise Dwyer of Richard fiudnut, with Sue Robson as her model. Captain of the models, who must have had a very busy time, but managed things with the utmost smoothness, was Mrs. Shirley Killer, while Mrs. Betty Ball was in charge of the dressing room. Mrs. Barb- ara Manning was in\charge of the program, Mrs. Bea Tre- maine looked after the sale of tickets and Mrs. Ruth Joynt designed the attractive prog- rams. All in all, the convener of the show. Mrs. Betty Craw- ford, could have been nothing but proud of the fine work done by all these ladies, in pro- viding such an enjoyable show.

And while I see by the papers that registration at the night school classes was disappointing, this certainly could not be said of the class in Conversa- tional French held at Thornhill Secondary School. About 25 people turned out the first night and have been having a real “ball” ever since. The teacher, Mr. J. Turko, in a manner witty and amusing, manag- ed to put his variety of students at their ease rap- idly, and while at first there was a slight tenden- cy on the part of most of them to sit with a slightly dropping lower jaw at his spate of rapid French, they shortly began to real- ize that they could under- stand at least some of it and started to enjoy them- selves. The first hour of each class is devoted to oral and written instruction in French convers- ation. This is followed by an hour spent in the newly-opened "Language Laboratory". Here each student sits in a separate cubicle equipped with ear-i phones and a microphone. They listen to tape recordings wher- ein a teacher asks a question in French and the student re- plies (in what he hopes is French). The teacher then re- peats the reply as it should have been and then repeats this again. It is possible to play as many as four different tapes at a time, so that students of varying abilities can listen to a tape at their own level. The ‘teacher is able to listen in on any particular student at any time and give individual assist- ance where necessary. The laboratory sessions have’ proved very popular with stud- ents at both day and night clas- ses. Part of this is of course because all of us, I think, em‘ joy using a new gadget; but mainly because we are able to utter our horribly mangled French phrases in private, ‘without feeling a complete fool, and the teacher’s corrections on the tape are so impersonal. and the teacher's corrections Aurora, walked off with the top on the tape are so impersonal. award for coins at the Greater And while some of the stud- Toronto Coin "1d Stamp Exhib- ents myself especially, felt the ition in Tom. u. you can heat water electrically as fast as average use demands with the new “Cascade 40" is flameless, clean, silent.
