. PAGE SIX 4 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE 'Overture to Fashion' Arranged By the T.S.O. Women's Committee Ann Delafield, the only beautic- jan in the world who is a trained dietician and physical education teacher, is coming to Toronto on September 28 to Oct. 2 to star in the women's committee, Toronto Symphony Orchestra "Overture to Fashion" in the Eaton Auditorium. More than ten thousand women will hear and see this lovely ex- ample of beauty at its best -- and will depart with renewed determ- ination to pare down the points and pin up the personality. Miss Delefield, dynamic diseuse of the DuBarry Success School which has shown more than 70,000 women how to be lovely and make it last, debunks the idea that beau- ty comes out of a jar alone. Beauty, she claims, is the result of clean, well-circulating blood streams, ef- fortless poise and good health, These ingredients, add up to the joy of living, not merely existing. Overture to Fashion is a gigantic fashion presentation, dressed up in full-bloom lavishness and sumptu- ous stage settings. Dramatic ac- cent on fall and winter styles will be produced on a scale never before seen in Toronto.. Mrs. Roy B. Whitehead, immedi- ate past president of the women's committee, Toronto Symphony Or- chestra, is convening the event, with Mrs. John R. Brockie of the T. Eaton Company as its producer. Among committee members assist- ing are Mrs. Bethune Smith, Mrs. E. L. Frankel, store liaison, Mrs. H. Thomson Leslie, tickets, Mrs. Ter- rance Sheard, program, Mrs. 8S. Hersenhoren, publicity. ' So great was the success of the 1947 Overture to Fashion, that the committee enters the autumn sea- son once again with an even more ANN DELAFIELD * hb lavish display. "A show within a show" will give each of the parti- cipating Toronto concerns a chance to "show their stuff" separate from one another. Each store will pre- sent its entire group before the next one takes over. Mrs. Terrence Sheard is training some of the gla- morous members of the women's committee to commentate for the different stores, so that variety will be the keynote at the microphone during the entire unique presenta- tion, Miss Delafield will speak to the audience at the commencement of each performance, so that close on the heels of her inspiring words will come the beautuous ladies of fashion wearing the latest styles-- to prove that "beauty is more than skin deep, and that it is within the reach of every woman to be lovely and to be loved." Golden Links Clas: Hear Talk on China The guest speaker for the first monthly meeting of the Golden Links Bible Class was Mrs. Owen, who was formerly a missionary to China. She gave an illustrated talk on some of the phases of her life in China, Eighty per cent of the people of China, she said, are peas- ants of the Buddhist religion, very illiterate and backward in their mode of living and working. Only one, per cent of the people are won over to the Christian way of life as yet. She explained the old and new way of marriage among the Chinese people. The scenery of some of the slides was beautiful and the conditions the people live under are very hard. She explained the reason for China suffering so much from famine and what some of the districts do to alleviate this condition. The work the missionaries are do- DANCING REGISTER NOW Classes in ® BALLET eo TOE eo TAP Sat., Sept. 18 -- 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. at CHRIST PARISH HALL Mary and Hillcroft Streets Irenie Harvey School ing is a good and great work, but very slow due to the illiteracy of the peoples of China. The equip- ment the teachers, doctors and min- isters have to work with is very in- adequate, Especially during the war years when bombing raids injured so many that the hospital was over- flowing and patients had to be ac- commocated on the floors of the corridors. The meeting opened on Tuesday evening with the president, Mrs. Lawson Parks, presiding. She turned the meeting over to Mrs. Charles Fleming, devotional convener, for group 1. Mrs. Fleming opened with a hymn, followed by - the Lord's Prayer in unison. The Scripture was read by Mrs. Ross Clark. To round out an enlightening de- votional program, Mrs. S. Boneham played variations on the hymn, The Sweet By and By. Mrs. James Scott moved a vote of thanks for the ladies who had spent so much of their time to bring us their mes- sage and music. Mrs. Ross Clarke, secretary, read the minutes of the last meeting and roll call. Arrangements were made for the hostess' tea to he held on Wednesday, September 29, in the Sunday School rooms. The meeting closed with Mizpah benediction. Refreshments were served by group 1. RY & JU KING ST. EAST Bloom in next Spring's color now! ELIZABETH ARDEN'S NEW FALL SHADE . » What! Lilacs in winter?

Laughter and Music Lead to Discovery Laughter peeling through the windows of Centre Street School auditorium on Tuesday evening led your roving reporter to join the crowd of youngsters peering through the openings to find out what was going on. No wonder they were interested; the sight that met our eyes held us transfixed too. While 60 or more men and women of all ages stood back and laughed, Mrs. Jack Reid, leading contralto of St. Andrew's Church, was belaying Mr. Charles Joliffe, a respected member of the staff of the 0.C.V.1, with--of all things--a pa- per fan and calling him a treacher- ous wretch. Not satisfied with that she grabbed the unfortunate fellow who was kneeling 'down and at a distinct disadvantage, by the scuff of the neck and banged his head on the floor--not once, but several times. Ever ready to defend the under- dog we dashed to the entrance to proclaim that such procedure was definitely "not cricket," buts our dramatic entrance was brought to an abrupt halt by the familiar mu- sic of Sir Arthur Sullivan,. Gil bert's partner, rippling like: sun- shine on the lake, being played on the piano. . 8 On enquiry we found that this has been a weekly affair since early in May when a group ofs public | spirited enthusiasts decided to put on "The Mikado" in the fall. Direc- tor of this intrepid band is Mr. Charles Joliffe who is also singing the role of Ko-Ko, while Lyona Hunt Mangan, musical director «of previous successful shows is pro- ducing mellifluous tones from the assortment of would-be Savoyards who compose the big chorus. What a happy crowd! What a gay show! Something very, 'very good is in store for Oshawa. Many Guests Attend PrettyRaglan Wedding The home of Mr. and Mrs. Rus- sell Davidson, ' Raglan, was the scene of the wedding 'of their daughter, Florence Larraine, and Mr. Percy Gordon Collins, son ef Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Collins of Scugog; on Saturday afternoon. The setting for the ceremony, perfermed by the Rev. G. W. Gardner, was an arch of cedars entwined with "gwers and white streamers, while fhe bride's grandfather, Mr. H. Collett of Galt, Ont, played the wedding music. . The bride was given in marriage by her father. She wore a gown of white sheer with a sweetheart neck- line and long sleeves and gathered lace in the skirt. A circlet head- dress held her long veil and she carried a large bouquet of red roses and white asters. Mrs. Ralph Lee attended her sister. She- wore a flowered tur- quoise frock with a -bandeau of white flowers on her hair softened | with ribbon and veiling. Mer bou- quet was of pink roses and light mauve asters. The best man was My. Wallacé Collins. The bride's mother, wearing rose crepe with white accessories, re- ceived the guests on the lawn: She was assisted by the bridegroom's mother in blue with black acces- sories. Guests were present from Galt, Orillia, Oshawa, Port Perry, Blackstock, Prince Albert, Toronto, Whitby, Brooklin and Nestleton. Later when the couple left on their - honeymoon the bride was wearing a blue two piece dress with white = accessories, Mr. and Mrs. Collins will make their home in Port Perry. Before leaving, the bride and her matron of honor presented their bouquets to their grand- mother and the grandmother of the bridegroom. SHORT CUTS The man who never gets lost in Loudon, 60-year-old Mr. Frank L. Moody, of Putney, was given the job of finding the handiest lamp- posts on which to hang direction signs along the . routes leading across London to the Olympic Games at Wembley and Harringay.

Royal Blue Sails For Elizabeth's Yacht Sails for Princess Elizabeth's wedding-gift yacht Bluebottle have been sent toa North Midlands fac. tory to be dyed royal blue, but Blue- bottle will not be the first to hoist celoured sails. More than 100 small craft on the South Coast are already wearing several different shades of canvas. The man who has popularized the colour idea among yaclitsmen is Mr. Elienne B. de Hamel, 55-year-old textile manufacturer who sails from Poole when he can spare time, Coloured sails are not new, but Mr. de Hamel (Gas developed pro- cesses: which make them fast to light and less liable to gain weight by_absorption of water than un- tréated sails--important since the elimination of top weight increases a craft's sailing efficiency. Fall Tea Planned By Christ Church Guild Mrs. Gordon Summers presided at a meeting of the members of Christ Church Afternoon Guild, at which plans were discussed to hold a social tea on October 6, at "The Sign of the Gate." This 1s a newly opened guest house on King- ston Road East, and was formerly the home of Mrs. Ronald Moffat, who is now living in Toronto. The present owner is Mrs. Hilda Ristow who is generously co-operating with the members of the Guild to make the tea attractive and successful. The home is set in four and one- quarter acres of beautiful wooded land which should be # magnificent sight by early October, and the house itself is spacious and ideal for receptions. Mrs. J. I. Hirst.is convening a committee to carrygout the neces~ sary arrangements.

Miss - Gertrude Tucker, Public Health Nurse, was the guest speak. er at the first fall meeting of the Cedar Dale Home and School Asso- ciation, which was held on Monday evening in the school, Mrs. J. N, Flintoff presided and welcomed the members, particularly welcoming the mothers of Grade I pupils, who are newcomers to the association. It was decided to have the mo- thers of each grade responsible for refreshments, to be served at the meetings for the coming year, and each mother was asked to try to have a good representation from her grade at the future meetings. Plans were made to start the fall euchre parties, These are to be held in the school with the commit- tee of Mrs. Frank Grant, Mrs, Nor- man Magee and Mrs. Warner Wil- liams, A letter was read from the staff of the school expressing their ap- preciation to the members of the association, who made drapes for the teachers' room. Mrs. William Badour introduced Miss Gertrude Tucker, who gave an enlightening talk. on National Health Immunization Week, spon- sored by the Health League of Can. ada in co-operation with the Depart- ments of Health and Education, and with the support of other voluntary associations, the press and the radio, It is designed to impress the Cana- dian people with the importance of taking advantage of the discoveries in the field of preventative medi- cine, which make it possible to pre- vent such diseases as diphtheria, whooping cough and smallpox. Wheoping cough kills twice as many children as diphtheria, three times as many as measles and five times as many as scarlet fever, and six times as many as infantile paraly- sis. Since 1944 the number of cases of diphtheria has decreased from 3,211 to 1,500 in 1947. Whooping cough has jumped from 12,197 in 1944 to 103,270 cases in 1947. Miss Tucker asid it was tragic that there should have been 139 deaths from diphtheria last year and 221 deaths from whooping cough. During the same year there have been only 90 deaths from polio. So far a pre- ventative has not been found for pclio, but there are preventatives for diphtheria, smallpox and whoop- ing cough. The speaker voiced the hope that during National Health Immuniza- tion Week, this year, parents would co-operate with gtire authorities in having their children immunized, and concluded by saying that this service is free. Tae child should be immunized before starting to school, as the pre-school child has less re- sistance than the older child. Mr. E: G. Higgins expressed the appreciation of the association to Miss Tucker for her fine address. Speaking briefly to the members, Mr. Higgins welcomed the mothers of the children who are starting to school, and emphasized this is a big occasion in the life of a child, bis first day at school, and he thought that parents do not make a big enough occasion of it. He compared the teacher to a foster parent, who is leading the child into a life of happy adulthood, giving training that a parent cannot give themselves. r. Higgins concluded his remar by hoping the parents would fin the Home and Schooj 'Association, a point of contact between the home ard the school. : The new teachers were then in- trcduced, Miss Helen Pardon and Miss Joan Adamson. Room prize Was won by Miss Joan Adamson's Room, Grade IV. Refreshments were served by the iiuLive of the association, contest was conducted Mrs, Stephen Ritzie and Mrs, ho &cri Eoneham won the prize. \ : Social Notices $1.00 Marriage Announcements $1.00 ENGAGEMENTS Mr, and Mrs. Robert Killen of Zion announce the engagement of their daughter, Margaret, to Doug- las Clair Currie, son of Mr. and Mrs. John A.
