CLAYTON LEE who was re-elected president of the Senior Woman's Association of Al- bert Street United Church recently, =-Photo by Campbell's Studio Authority Explains Why Fashions Change Speaking in "Radio Roundabout" in the BBC's Eastern Service re- cently, Mr. James Laver, Keeper of Prints in the Victoria and Albert Museum and one of the greatest living authorities on the history of fashion, discussed with Mrs. Rekha Menon, of the Eastern Service of the BBO, the reasons why he con- sidered fashion had constantly changed in the West and had stood still in the East. : Fashion as a changing mode of dress for women started no earlier than the 15th Century in the courts of Burgundy as a means of competition between the ladies of the Court to gain the patronage of the King and, therefore, to bring themselves into a position of some power. He believed that in a so- ciety in which women are quite hidden away there is no opportunity and no need for fashions to de- velop. Mr. Menon agreed that at that time there was practically no alter- ation in Indian fashions of dress for women, and change such as there had been was one of decora- tion rather than line. Fashion did, of course, in the Fast as in the West, serve to show off the position of a woman's husband by the wealth of the decoration and the fineness of material. In Mr, Laver's opinion, women have sald goodbye to gorgeous clothes, and they are now settling down to a more utilitarian sort of fashion. It is obviously much easier to board a bus in modern skirts than in a crinoline. Mrs, Menon sald that in India utility is very important, not only amongst the peasant community but also in the higher classes where women will wear only one piece of cloth, but the thickness, colour and mat- erial will be according to their needs. On the question of children's clothes, Mr. Laver explained that the history of fashiong for children was quite a short one, only about 200 years old. Before that time-- before Joan Jacques Rousseau -- children had been dressed as small replicas of their elders--complete "I'with sword and powdered wig. That was very much the case in India today, according to Mrs. Me- non. A few children-the more Wi taken to western clothes, but for the rest they were small editions of their parents.

B,, Dec. 17--(CP)-- The honor of being called Aunt Ma- ry by 125 persons would be novel to most Canadians, but not to Miss Mary Crisp, a trim, grey-haired wo- man who during the last 23 years has been both mother and father to more than 125 boys and girls. It all started at Christmas time, 1923, when Miss Crisp played host to a group of children from a Child- | ren's Aid Society home in near-by Moncton, Since then, 125 boys and girls who would 'otherwise have been left in the care of an institution have spent the early years of their lives as members of Miss Crisp's household here, Caring for others became Miss Crisp's task early in life, A daugh- ter of a Methodist minister, she be- came "mother" to her four younger brothers and sisters when her own mother died while she was a young girl at Andover, N. B. As Miss Crisps work became known -throughout New Brunswick, the problems of providing for a family which averaged as many as 12 children at one time has been lessened by timely donations from various organizations. Miss Crisp recalls with pride the 14 boys and one girl, her former charges, who served in the armed forces in the Second Great War, Murray .Cain Weds Miss Kay Davies The marriage of Lols Katherine Mary Davies, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Davies, to Leland Murray Cain, son of Mrs, Edna Cain of Bowmanville, took place at Christ Memorial Church last Satur- day.

The altar flowers were white and yellow chrysanthemums, Given in marriage by her father, the bride wore a gown of eggshell satin with a sweetheart neckline, Her fingertip veil fell from a Queen Anne headdress and she carried a white prayer book with streamers. She wore her mother's pearl neck- lace, and an expanding gold brace= let, the gift of the bridegroom. The matron of honor was Mrs. Rose Barnier, sister of the bride.' She wore Alice blue crepe and car- ried an old-fashioned nosegay. The bridesmaid was Miss Sylvia Davies, niece of the bride. Her gown was of Royal blue taffeta and she carried a similar nosegay. Both the attend- ants wore pearls, the gift of the bride. The best man was Mr, Ronald Cole, a cousin of the bridegroom, and the ushers were Mr, Edward Davies, the bride's brother, and Mr, Douglas Shackleton. The reception was held at the Betty Cake Shoppe where the bride's mother received the guests. She wore a street-length dress of black figured crepe and a corsage of chrysanthemums. She was as- sisted by Mrs. Louise Luxton, the bridegroom's. grandmother. The couple left on a trip to East- ern Ontario, the bride wearing an oyster-colored wool dress with black accessories. They will make their home in Bowmanville, SHARK FISHERS Port of Spain, Trinidad--(CP)-- 'Three demobilized English service- men who arrived in Trinidad re- cently have purchased a boat and ordered equipment from England in order to carry out large scale shark fishing.

Winter Fashions By JOAN SLOCOMBE Paris, Dec. 18-- (Reuters) -- With winter sports threatening to break all records this year in the Alps, skiing and skating clothes are finding a predominant place in Paris fashion displays. While the French style setters wonder what sports wear visitors abroad will bring with them, for- eignerg will notice many changes in the French outfits, It is obvious France has ac- cepted, as the smartest and most practical skiing trousers, the full length type which tapers into the wearers' boots, In jackets, popu- larity wavers between the full length shape and the short belted blouse or battledress variety, "The secret of an athlete's grace," said Jacques Falk, "lies in the economy of movement." Falk, a regular winter sports goer himself says bright colors are the recognized thing for the snow slopes this year.. Borrowing the idea from Win. ston Churchill's wartime siren suit, another well-known design- er shows a steel grey battledress complete with zipper fastenings and flap pockets. Fur promises to play an impor- tant role in ski wear this year. For skating, knitted woollen tights in bright red or bright green match sweaters generally knitted with white in the design. Brief circular skirts or corduroy or woollen material go with these Their Betrothal Announced FLT.-LT, K. D. HALFACREE, R.A.F. MISS DOROTHY MILNE whose engagement is announced today. FIt..Lt.
