It promised to make the gentleman not a gentleman who had the temerity to wear a tuxedo instead of a clawhammer coat to an evening affair. And it smiled with favor on the man brave en- ough to wear a '"'director's suit, sutaway coat, silk topper and all, to his daily stunt. "This report is the consensus of spinion of 1,000 of the foremost sartorial specialists of the nation snd prescribes precisely what the swanky dresser will wear in 1930, said the introduction. In 16 pages of closely printed type, the report did exactly that, told how wide the braid should be pn @& pair of evening trousers (three-quarters to an inch), en- couraged use of canes for all occa- sions, and decreed that members of aunt iclubs should wear scarlet svenifig dress coats at their din- gers and dances. After emphasizing 'need for for- mal attire for all occasions," the report found room to make a sweeping bow of gratitude to wo- men and their new long skirts, "This year, particularly, the ra- lical change which has occurred in women's dress is having a marked mfluence on the dress of men, aid the report.

The trend toward more wo- manly styles for women has caused an' increase in the vocabulary of clothes for the man." All of this, the tailors reported solemnly, will mean more serious thinking and a finer appreciation of art and music. The 'long-awaited report" was the final act of the tailors' conven- tion which has been in session for the past week. The delegates, in- cidentally, practiced what they preached and attended all sessions in full formal day dress, FRESH FROM WASTES OF .

He began by saying that the worst insult you could offer an Englishman was to tell him he had no sense of humior. This is because practically all the great English authors have this sense, e.g., Chaucer, Shakespeare, Fielding, Dickens, A sense of hu- mor makes a man an observer of all the world. In almost anything--how- ever common-place -- he can find something amusing. He possesses a catholicity of interest. He delights in the infinite variety of human na- ture, perhaps as much in the beggar and the villain as in the cultured gen- tleman, He demands of a character that it possess some sort of indivi- duality, something distinctive. The presence of a sense of humor even in serious Englishmen, lawyers, judges, scholars, churchmen, men of such diversity as Latimer, Burton, Dean Swift, Walton and Lamb, proves its importance in English life and character. A sense of humor also postulates a width of humanity and a nice sensc of proportion. It is_the reaction of sound common sense to narrow and fanatical enthusiasm, This is where the irony of many English writers, paritcularly Thomas Hardy, reveals itself, The English soldier in the trenches shows this irony when he pricks the bubble of high-flown sentiment, in- dulges in parodies of patriotic songs, and caystically asks why the emblem of some army corps, pushed back by the Germans, should not be the "grey-hound" rather than the "bull- dog." The lecturer referred to Sir John Falstaff, that reprobate so 'important to English humor. Here is the re- cognized fat clown of ordinary com- edy transformed by Shakespeare in- LECTURE ON ENGLISH HUMOUR EXTENSION CLASS HEARS A to the greatest comic figure of all. Though old in years, he has the spirit of inexhaustible youth, Though rea- dy for any villany, he has no scrap of malice, He is the enemy of any- thing that interferes with his ease and bitterly opposed to those who affirm that "life is real, life is ear- nest." But there is real philosophy in Falstaff's humor. This is well- seen in his dissection of honor, "What is honor? A. word, What is that word homor? Air, A trim reckoning !--who hath it? He that died o' Wednesday, Doth he feel it? No. Doth he hear it? No. Is it insensible? then? Yea, to the dead, But will it not live with the living? No. Why? Detraction will not sui- fer it--Therefore I'll none of it: hon- or is a mere scutcheon." The modern satirical writer is the present-day representative of the pro- fessional fool. He is allowed to whip and scourge the abuses of his time, so long as he remembers always to be humorous, An excellent example of this is Bernard Shaw, who is at once so comic and so serious. Charles Lamb is one of England's most charming humorists. Referring to the scoundrel who defrauded his family sof a large sum of money, he savs: "Better that I should be poor to- day than that I should not have ex- perienced that specious old rogue." Lamb reveals pre-eminently a sort of eccentricity, so important today in this age of levelling and standardiz- ing, of model schools and mode homes, when things tend to be trim- med to a uniform pattern of desolat- ing perfection. Here is a great work for the modern humorist to do, to keep standardizers and machine-like organizers in order. humorist, Stephen Leacock, that al- most blatant individualist who satir- izes the process of standardization and narrow specialization--a state 'of affairs that is even invading our uni- versities. Next week Professor Davies will lecture on Bernard Shaw. WEDDING DOYLE-REID A very attractive house wedding was held Saturday evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. William Reid, 7 William street cast, Osh- awa, at 7.30 p.m., when their youngest daughter, Eva Adele, be- came the bride of Harold Douglas Doyle, cldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Doyle, 805 Simcoe St. South.

The groom was attend- ed by the bride's brother, William Reld. After the ceremony a buffet luncheon was served and the even- ing was spent in dancing.

QUEBEC FARMERS NOW BREED MINK FOR THER FUR High Price Market Found For Pelts in New York Montreal, Que, Feb. 3--Quebec farmers are entering into another in- dustry this time the breeding of mink for their fur. Prince Edward Island led the way in the matter of produc- ing silver fox tor the fur trade, and this province has gone a long way in building up that industry, even to that extent that special regiations have had to be laid down by legisla- tion for the public protection in the matter of health, For some years there has been breeding of mink, and there is already one large sized mink farm in the Lake St. John district which has gained considerable prom- inence, and finds a ready and high- priced 'market for the sale of pelts in New York, even to the point that it is said that in a few years fox breed- ing will take second place to mink breeding from the lucrative point of view, though, it is admitted, the new- er fur industry is still largely ine the experimental stage. Evidence of con- fidence in the possibilities of the mink farms is shown by the fact that the provivessl Government has just in- corporated a company with a capita of $50,000 for the purpose of apa lishing mink farms in. the county of Beauce, though the company is not restricetd to operating in that coun- ty. It is evident that the new com- pany intend to enter the business in a scientific manner, since power has been secured to register animals and exchange the progeniture. Provision is also made whereby the company may deal in the fur of mink, and manufacture any articles relating to such business, and generally carry on any commercial operations connected directly or indirectly with such busi- ness. Argentine Business Plan Tour of Canada Montreal, ¥eb. 3.--Under the auspices of the Argentiné Chamber of Commerce, three hundred re- presentative citizens of the South American republic are expected to visit Canada. during the coming summer, probably in August or September, it was announced by Senor Luis J. Skinitzero, who has just returned from that country. Realizing the great benefits to be derived from closer commercial connections between Canadians and Latin-Americans, Senor Skinitzero sailed for Buenos Aires late in Sep- tember on an independent goodwill tour, but with recommendations from the Department of Trade and Commerce, which provided him numerous motion picture reels and other good publicity material, One result of his visit to Buenos Aires: is found in the decision of the Argentine Chamber to estab- lish an office in' Canada, with Senor Skinitzero as its accredited repre- sentative, and Montreal as his headquarters. It is the desire of this influential ody to ». "a clos er contacts with the Dominion, which has so much in common with Argentina. It js believed that Canada can supply the South Am- erican republie with better manu- factured materials than can be ob tained in the United States, Senor Skinitzero points out, and the new office here will be available to ex- porters and importers in both countries, and to others desiring information on commercial matters.
