Some of them have done no work for seven or eight years. It is stated in excuse, that conditions here are * peculiarly unfavorable to the em- ployment of women, The staple in- dustries have little scope for wo- n's labor at the best of times, and iii depression, with the economies pd amalgamations which have en- sued, has further diminished the num- ber of women on the payrolls of in- dustry. Bit there is one form of employment which still appeals urg- ently for more workers. It has been shown that in every part of the coun- try there are many positions, with a good livelihood, domestic work, wait- ing for women ready and willing to take them, but comparatively few women and girls are willing to go in- to. domestic service. The majority, according to official returns, would rather be kept in idleness on the "dole," than earn their living by fill- ing the domestic positions that can -be found for them. Employment will be normal in the oe but will fall off in dhe golf geason.--Brandon Sun. NEW SPRING COATS AND DRESSES Many styles td Choose from. Our prices are right. THE FASHION SHOPPE 84 Simcoe St, S, Sheer Chiffon Full Fashioned HOSIERY As ATKINS HOSIERY & LINGERIE SHOP WOMEN IN LATE TWENTIES DIE HAIR Toronto, Ont., March 10.--~The man who, 10 years ago, cut Irene Castle's hair in bobbed style, and so set a world-wide fashion--Francesco Serra of Detroit--while in this city at the hairdresser's convention said: "By the time a woman reaches her later twenties her hair has become drab. That's a natural process and after that she dyes or tints her hair if she wishes it to retain its original brilliance. Of course, its the excep- tional woman who is honest with her- self about the matter. Most of them won't even admit to themselves that they use a bleach. So "It's part of the psychology of the hair expert never to use the word 'dye.' That brings shuddering excla- mations of horror from his fair-haired female clientele. You just touch her hair up a bit: Some women are so panicky about hair dye that you can't even wear rubber gloves when apply- ing it. Or else they will think 'it must be poison for he uses rubber gloves." Women Took to Needle . From Sheer Boredom Toronto, Ont, 'March 10.--"From sheer boredom women (up to the Re- naissance) took to the needle," said Miss Ruth Home, "lecturing at the Royal Ontario Museum. "No read- ing, no cleaning, few social activities, no cards or theatres!" There are in the museum marvel- | lous examples of the industry of the women of the east, work so fine, so accurate, so beautiful in coloration and design that at first it is well nigh impossible to believe that it is needle wprk, Perhaps the most interesting ot the European embroideries are those of the Georgian period when gentlemen wore waistcoats, knee breeches and coat, all sprigged and decorated with the finest of needle- work. The work of the east and west can easily be differentiated by the design, that of the east essen- tially decorated -- conventionalized Near Cor.

Mounties Visit Daily Sick Eskimo Woman Edmonton, Alta, March 10--Mem- bers of the R.C_M.P.'s northern de- tachments have many more duties than the mere maintenance of law and order in the hinterland, a report just received from the Arctic regions indicates. An Eskimo ' woman, ill, was brought into Cambridge Bay from a nearby fish camp. Although she and her family asked nothing, the woman was visited daily by the moun- ties, who supplied her with medicine, condensed milk and biscuits until the time of her death shortly afterwards, TINY TORENS The memory of a kindly For long gone bj, The fragrance of a faded flower Sent lovingly, The gleaming of a sudden smile, or sudden tear.

Star, Gg ~ 3 REFUSAL TO ALLOW WOMAN AT BAR MAY BE FOUGHT Principle Involved of More Concern Than Practical Value, Paper Says Montreal, Que., March 10.--Under the caption "Women's Bill Beaten" the Gazette says editorially of the proposed legislation regarding wo-" men lawyers: Though the campaign has failed for this season, no doubt it. will be revived or renewed from year to year until success is achiev- ed. The principle involved is of more concern than the practical va- lue of the right sought. The num- ber of wonren affected is small, and the existing prohibition against them becoming members of the Bar has the effect of barring them only from pleading in the courts,. Women who haye studied law. the universities may do legal w. rk in the law offices, and, in fact, there are sore, possibly all qualified, who have such positions, and in the matter of obtaining posi- tions they are in the same position as male graduates. The handicap of not being able to appear in court is not as' great as it appears, since, these days, so much law work is done in the offices, Commercial and company law form the great attrac- tions for the legal mind in this con:- mercialized age. The most lucrative forms of legal work are admitted by the legal fra- | ternity generally to be office worl. For this reason the material loss to women skilled in the law by the ac- | tion of the Legislature is smaller | than appears at first sight, but this | does not weaken the principle, Wo- | men are admitted in this province to 'the practice of medicine, and this is often cited as a reason for open- ing the legal profession to them, | even though the special consideration | which justified legislation to enable women to be physicians may not ap- ply with equal force in the ficld of | law, { Chinese Cafe Owners Have Equal Rights To Employ White Girls Toronto, Ont., Mar. 7--Chinese cafe owners have the same right to employ white women as restau- ranteurs of other nationalities, contends the Eastern Canada Chinese mission in a resolution ad- dressed to the Toronto police eom- mission.' The present by-law for- bidding Chinese to employ white women in their cafes is termed a discrimination. "The Chinese, es- pecially those professing Christian- ity, have proven themselves as good and law-abiding people as the average white op other races," the motion reads. 'Such discrimin- ation is likely to intensify the pre- sent somewhat bittef feeling among the Chinese both in Canada and in China itself." THE DOUGHMAN We made him out cf cooky-dough with lovely currant eyes, And my, he looked so beautiful and well-behaved and wise That Nannee said and I said, "Ob, hurry, get him in." (We couldn't BEAR to roll him out with any rolilng-pin.) The oven puffed and sizzled and the oven cracked and popped, At ten o'clock we peeped inside the door and out he hopped, And Nannee said and I said, "Oh, well, we'll let him stay." (We couldn't BEAR to leave him there much longer anyway.) And now he dances on the wall. We hung him there with string, And if you go up close he smiles and bows like enything; But Nannee says and I say, "We've lost our appetite." (We couldn't BEAR to eat him when he's acting so polite!) --Anne Sutherland DREAM RIVER Wind-silvered willows hedge stream, And all within is hushed and cool.

NECESSARY FOOD ELLEMENTS There are three oclements which) must be present in our diet, if we would be well: mineral salts, roughage, and vitamins.

Its contents re- presented folk songs, dances, and scenes from Cossack operas. The chorus was under the direction of Mr. Stanley Mozewsky. The first part of the program consisted ot three numbers by the chorus, which titles, when translated are "The Black Crow is Flying," "The Sun is Setting," and "The Shepherd." A quartette composed of Miss Mary Kalenko, Mr, and Mrs, Stas- ick, and Mr. Stanley Mozews rendered a beautiful selection, popular love song, "The Sun Low." The theme of this last was | "As the sun sets the silvér moon | arises, a fluttering lover impatient- ly awaits, for this romantic mos ment, he sends a love call lo his | Sweet One® to : hurry Into the grove."

Anwa Stasick, sang a group of songs displaying not only a clear sympathetic so- prano voice, but the marked tal- ent of dramatic interpretation. She also appeared with Stanley Mozewsky in a scene from an op- eretta, "A Cossack Across the Dan- ube." Although some of the hu- mour of these scene was lost by those lacking the ability to under- stand the language, they could ga- ther most of the story by the vivid portrayal of both roles. little Miss | Alder- | iv so soon es Ee | a eir selection was foHow= ed by three more from the chorus.

The music for the dances and solo numbers was supplied by three instruments, a piano, a violin and a zither. Mrs. Carnell, organist of Christ Church, presided at the piano. It was quite evident that the visitors were hjghly delighted with the concert hy their hearty ap- plause, and there Is no doubt that as all left the hall it was with a very friendly feeling toward these new citizens and a keener interest than before for Oshawa's "Littld Ukraine." * Notice !
