After reading a few lines of poetry, and at the appropriate time, Miss Dorothy Skinner and Mrs. Alf. Brown presented the bride and bridegroom with several gifts of silver and glass. Miss Nancy Lake, a niece, pre- sented the bride with a bouquet of pink and white chrysanthemums and Master Jack Brown, a nephew, pinned a boutonniere on the bride- groom's lapel. Mr. and Mrs. Skinner responded in a most. gracious manner to the sincere good wishes with words of appreciation and gratitude for the kindly thoughts which prompted such an expression of love and friendship. At this time "For They Are Jolly Good Fellows" was sung and three cheers given the bride and bridegroom. An enjoyable time was spent together for the remain- der of the evening.

She's fed up with cod- fish. The author, former Windsor re- sident who now calls London home, expressed her opinion of codfish in an interview in which she praised Canada's generosity in responding to appeals for food in Britain. The worst part about Britain's meagre rations was planning meals to pro- vide variety and "if I never .see codfish again it will be too soon." She added: "I don't think anyone in Canada can realize how much food parcels mean to the people in England. "The Canadian people gave more per capital to England than any '| other country, and make no mis- take, the English people are con- _| scious of this." Miss Burton, spending Christmas with her parents here, has writ- ten six novels under the pen names of Elizabeth Burton and Susan Ker- by. She regards her last, "Mr. Kronion," as her best. It will be published in June, Her other works are "Cling to Her Waiting," "Fortnight in Frascati," "Miss Carter and the Ifrit," "For- tune's Gift," and "The Roaring Dove." ' Miss Burton, who has had novels published in both Britain and, the United States, started her writing career in Windsor. She contributed to the Windsor Star's Fourth Col- umn before leaving for England 14 years ago.

Mrs. Russel Worsley, Gifford Street, entertained the members of the W. A. of Cedar Dale United Church, at their annual Christ- mas party on Wednesday evening. The carol singing was much en- joyed and during. the. evening games and contests were played. Prizes were won by the following: Mrs. William Judd, Mrs. Edmund Jackson, Mrs, Leonard Lester, Mrs Richard Bailey, Mrs. Harry Blan- chard, Mrs. Earl Hoy, Mrs. Robert Worsley, Mrs. George Irvine, Mrs. Roy Zellan, Mrs. Allan Leavitt, Mrs. Angus McLean, Mrs. Ber- nard Heintz, Mrs. Frank Singer, Jr. The members discovered their unknown sister of 1948 and names were drawn for the following year. Santa was played by Mrs. An- drews Jr, and gifts were ex- changed. Lunch was served by Mrs. Arthur Pitman and her committee. Mrs. Mrs. Ralph Boneham presented Mrs. Worsley with a fancy plate in appreciation of her kindness. The evening closed with the singing of "She's a Jolly Good Fellow." Wearing a Stole A Graceful Art The biggest talking point in "fashions '49" has been and will be the stole. A most practical and cer- tainly most flattering addition to an ensemble, stoles are designed in fur, wool, silk, velvet and gold and silver lames. How a 'stole is 'worn is quite as | important as what a stole is made of. When wearing a fur stole one mustn't look like a moth in a co- coon. It should be worn gracefully over one shoulder, passed across the back and wrapped carelessly about the other arm just above or below the elbow. With a sleeveless decollete eve- ning dress, drape the stole across the bosem and wind it about the arms barber-pole fashion. With a fitted coat or coat-dress, tie the stole in an ascot and it will accent figure contours without add- ing bulk. With a belted coat or dress, the stole is worn over the back of the shoulders and down the front. Pass it under the belt and it becomes an integral part of the costume. A scarf becomes a stole in a bril- liant cruisewear dress designed by Paul Parnes (left). The triangular duo accents the bright one-piece pure silk print and shantung com- bination, with slim waistline ac- cented by a contoured patent lea- ther belt. Keep Cheese Off Ice Say Dairy Experts A well-known commercial about never put bananas in the refrig- erator was brought to mind yester- day when the Department of Agri- culture warned against putting cheese on ice. Experts in the Dairy Branch, as a tip to. any one buying cheese for Christmas use, suggested keeping it in.a cool pantry or on a shelf in the cellar. The temperature should never go below 50 degrees and the atmosphere should not be too dry. If the cheese is purchased in small quantities remove the paper and place it in a china dish, with cover. This permits air to get to it, In the larger cheeses, once a per- tion is cut for immediate use, the exposed surface should be waxed over to prevent drying out. Ordi- nary paraffin wax, melted, is recom- Old Santa Holds Magic Sway " One thing that perennially res- cues the big city Christmas season from the mire of commercialism, writes Laura Haddock in the Chris- tian Science Monitor, is the ex- pression in the eyes of little chil- dren taken to see Santa Claus. Anyone weary of Christmas bar- gain - hunting, fed - up with the crowding and the overspending that are so likely to accompany the pres- ent-day observance of the holy season, should find some way to watch four-year-olds shyly whisper their wants into' the silky. .beard of a professional Santa. Here is at focus all the confidence of inno- cence, the tremulous hope, and the timidity that are included in child- hood. With some exceptions, of course. . ¥ There are children who aren't timid at all. There are children who have been inured to the fact that there isn't any Santa Claus, who have never received a doll or a railroad train for Christmas, and who join the line in Santa's Castle just for the adventure of telling Santa he's nothing but a big fake. Hard to Handle These children are hard to handle, but the Santas know how to do it, and have enough compassion for them and enough understanding of what made them that way, to go on thinking children are fine anyway. The usual procedure of Santa '| claus, as the toddler approaches is to take him on his lap and in a hearty voice say, "Now, here's a fine little man. And how are you today, sonny? Have you been a good boy?" And the "little man," visibly trying to accustom himself to this flow of white beard and a distract- ingly bright red suit, lisps that he has been, or just contents himself with nodding big-eyed, and stealing a reassuring glance at Mommy or Dad on the sidelines. Then Santa asks, "And what do you want for Christmas?" Then is when the youngster, sometimes almost swamped in shyness, really works hard. He tries to steer his thoughts back to all the toys he has looked -at in the toy depart- ment outside, and remember which of them he wanted most. "I want a little ball," he says, "and a big twain." Santa bends his head to catch the timid syllables, "And do you want Santa to bring something for Mummy, too?"" The child nods vigorously. Many of them say, "And I want a 'doll for my sister. She couldn't come because she's too little." In Bluff Approval Santa nods in bluff approval, and says: "Well, now, I'll see what I can do. But you must go on being a good boy, won't you?" Another nod, and the child is boosted down out of Santa's arms and into the hands of a proud par- ent. And the next child takes his place. The parents -- ah, they are the ones to watch, too. Especially the fathers; for this is the season when father takes a day off from work and pilots a small' son or daughter through the mazes of toyland. It would be hard to say which gets the more pleasure out of the excursion, Pop or the little one. Fathers are almost unanimously inclined to drool happily over the accomplishments of their sons if the latter make a good showing before Santa Claus. "That's Daddy's good boy," beamed one young father as he shepherded his tweed-clad son away from Santa's sleigh. "He answered all the questions like a little man, didn't he? That's a good boy!" Mothers, more accustomed to their children's prowess, take it calmly and content themselves with a proud gleam in their eye. Watch the Crowds Stand in front any of the fascin- ating show windows that display Santa Claus stamping: letters or mended. coming down the chimney or pre- Till the End of Shopping Days siding over a candy kitchen, and watch the crowds. It is the fathers and mothers with children on their shouiders who laugh delightedly and exclaim over Santa Claus and all his works. The chidren are the quiet ones. Within the toy departments there is not a little salesmanship being exercised by the children upon their parents. One young miss of about 11, dressed in her best and conduct- ing her father on a tour of the doll section, pointed to an elaborate creature cestumed in bright green satin and lace and asked quite seri- ously, "I would love to have a doll like that, wouldn't you?" Her father merely muttered something unin- telligible. But at 11, a girl is hard to discourage and he probably knew his fate was sealed. Back of this pictures lies a nebue lous land, not widely seen, where children's fathers have no interest in taking their children to the shops, where mothers careless and neglectful can't be bothered to bring their young ones into the crowded stores to see what Christmas is like, or, if they would do so, have no money to satisfy their little dreams. For them a beneficent segment of the public have provided thou- sands of dolls, dozens of Christmas parties, and gifts of goodies, through the city's many settlement houses and social agencies. The spirit of Christmas giving that we mean when we speak of Santa Claus is abroad and will reach many children even through bare riers of poverty and neglect.
