If. you. have followed this column lately you will know that we have been on the 'hunt for a really good' car at a: reasonable price, We had. heard! of and looked at several but none that we thought worth buying--not at the outrageous prices that were being asked. ~ But on Saturday a car was sent. up for : us to try out. With me, when I : * E » Tuesday, Thursday and Satur- day were my extra busy days last week. Tuesday' our W.I, catered for a lucheon at which entrance class students representing every school in the county were guests of the County. Council, This is an annual event., . * * * . Thursday was a still bigger day. It was the day of our W.I. District Annual, and a little special because of it being the 50th Aninjversary in' Canada. Our branch was hostess to the other twenty branches in the county so you can imagine we had plenty to do. It was a lovely day--not too hot--and we had a record attendance It is nice to sce rural' women so interested in such a worthwhile organization, .and lu these county affairs, the women get together and meet old friends and acquaintances whom they have not seen since the last District Annual "and might not sce again for dear knows how long if it were not for the D.A. Miss Anna P, Lewis, our new provincial superintendent, was there in person and we' found her a very - likable and easy to talk 'to sort of person. In the afternoon we were just one happy family out for a little j --fun--and: we: certainly -had "itAbout TTY a dozen: of the women. staged: a Wil meeting of by-gone days: with | all the members attired in old- fashioned costumes: There was also a dress parade -in costume -- The .audience was_ just about convulsed with laughter at different. times. Some of the women-nat only-dressed --|- the part, they acted 'it too: I thought as '[ watched them the art of dramatization isn't dead after all, but.it has certainly been dormant an awfully long time. One young woman, wearing a red silk dress and the most demure expression imagin- able, yet managed to surreptitiously lift the front of her floor length gown thereby revealing 'a fine pair of legs clad in knitted white silk stockings! The audience literally howled, but if it hadn't been for the girl's innocent expression it would not have been nearly so funny. She looked very like pictures of Queen Victoria in her younger days. * * * At four o'clock we had afternoob - tea--there were about two hundred "of us--and Miss Lewis. and the president and immediate past presi- 'dents of the district were in the receiving. line, greeting each guest individually. Around five 'o'clock the whole affair was over, seach of us going dur separate way; home to "the chores at thé farm; or. to a house in town; "in_any case back to our men and families--'"to each his own" but-all of us, | think, were far. more. relaxed than whén- we "sight! It was just such' a car as I had hoped for -- good tires, nice appearanice and 'easy to handle, Partner and I left Bob to worry about the mechanical end of things and I think he examined every bolt and bearing before he got through; Then we took the car out on the road and to my ears it just purréd along. We were quite satisfied, and now the car is ours. Jt is a coach with a trunk at the back which will just take a craté of eggs nicely. At first I was scared to drive it--all the do-dads on the dashboard con- fused me. 'But as soon as I learned how to handle it I found it far easier to drive than our old jalopy.

'TEEN-TOWN TOPICS There has been a'lot of advice spread around : about marriage; and ew note that this is the time of year that the journals usually try to help the prospective: bridal couple out -{--with a Jot of do's and dont's. One thing the writers fail to mention is who handles the dough.

The counter had a pile of those heavy jobs we used to see during the winter' at $10.50, After Christmas they went down to $7.50 and we bought them at this store for $4.50.

When the egg hatchés, father kiwi looks after the chick and won't let mother have anything 'to do. with it |. . Kiwis have a long beak, as you know, and right at the end of it are the two nostrils. At the other end-- _ néar--the eyes--are whiskers like a cat's, The birds are practically blind in daylight and only come out at night, That is the story of the kiwi, one of the strangest birds in the world." y ---- isin .
