First home on the tour map was that of Mr. and Mrs. John Shaw, Maryvale Crescent. The Shaw home houses a beautiful collection or original Canadian paintings. including several by members of the Group of Seven, and a unique collection of oriental rugs which were dis- played throughout the house as were many other interesting treasurers from abroad.

The home of Mrs. Howard Godfrey. Old Yonge Street. was next to be visited. This delight- ful old home. which overlooks the Thornhill Golf Course, has been in the family for 40 years and provides a perfect setting for the collection of antique furniture. Of special interest were the hand crocheted cur- tains in the living room which were made by Mrs. Godfrey. The William A r m s ti‘ on g studio. also included in the tour, is part of the Godfrey home, and was in fact, until two years ago, a garage. It has now been converted into a light and airy studio in which Mr. Armstrong’s work is displayed. An added bonus to this part of the tour was the fact that the artist was present in his studio and visi- tors were therefore able to meet and chat with him.
