TO LIVE IN BELLEVILLE Mr. George Goulding and his bride, the former Miss Eleanor Enid Williams, whose marriage was solemnized recently at St. Thomas Anglican Church, Belle- ville, Ontario. The bride is the youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Sheldon Williams of De-' | morestville, Ontario, and the * bridegroom is the son of Mrs. George Goulding of Oshawa, and | the late Mr. Goulding. : KEEP IN TRIM An Incentive Makes Reducing An Exciting Challenge BY IDA JEAN KAIN This 'success story of a bride's mother should inspire any over- weight 'to come to terms wi % poundage. We start with her letter dated January 25. "Two years ago I wrote you with regard to losing weight. . . . I am ashamed to tell you that 1 have let time slip by and I am still FAT. Now for my reason for this letter to you: My daughter (who incidentally is lovely and slim) is getting married May 8, and I have finally awakened to what a mess I will look unless something is done to my figure in the next 15 weeks, I am 5° 2", and did weigh 197% pounds, but have already lost 8 pounds. If I can lose 3 pounds.a week, I will be down to 144 for the wedding. Still a lot of weight, but I should be able to get into a Size 16A dress. I now wear 20%. NEEDS GUIDANCE "] am about food like an al- * coholic is about drink. I must abe stain from fattening fogds entirely or'I go on an eating binge. I need your guidance desperately. With no time to lose, we started * «the figure fixing progtem, e dietitian cautioned her not to try to reduce 3 pounds a week, a pace which she could not keep up. Rather, she should aim at wearing size 16% through loss of incher as well as pounds. A reply soon came, dated Feb, 9. "You must have had insight on how much I would need your letter that arrived Saturday. Mon- day morning when I stepped on the scales, I found my loss for the week--% pound. Woe is me! But I've got to quit complain- ing. Though I'm not the ideal th | loser, my will-power grows day by day. This time I feel I' will really reach my goal (eventually). _. members of the Chicago TOPS club to which I belong help to keep me inspired." On a much happier note was the letter dated February 27. TRIUMPH AT LAST "I have been - plodding along, slowly but surely, and can now report that a total of 16% pounds has left this hefty body of mine, but more exciting, I've slimmed off many bulky inches. The weight graph I made looks nice--a down- ward slope all the way." And then--the triumphant lettep dated July 1. "I am so happy to tell you that I was able to wear 16% dress for the wedding; and, though I didn't get anywhere near my weight goal, it did fit--surprisingly The dress has an eight gore skirt, which left ample room for my more than ample hips. I was thrilled that I was able to look half- yay presentable on that important ay. "Since then I have lost an addi- tional 11 pounds, and now weigh 160. I am more than halfway that I will complete the job. It's very much easier dieting now than it was in January. I am feeling wonderful, mentally and physically. Thank you again for all your in- spiring advice and help." A joyous ending! An incentive always makes reducing an excit- ing challenge. FIRST AID FOR KNIVES Preparing fruits and vegetables for summer salads is .a snap if you have the proper tools. Knives should be kept sharp and their handles strong and rigid. The «+ blades of paring knives, especially, have, an uncanny way of working loose' from _ the handles. Push a | little plastic wood well into the ! crevice of the handle and let it dry for a few hours. The knife will be as strong as new. Children may" not understand all about germs but they can be taught not to share their combs, facecloths, towels or other toilet articles with other children or adults. 4 ois. through, and I am really positive | B.

TIMES CHANGE At one time politics would have been an impossible interest for an {eastern woman, but times have ichanged. They have changed so much that a friend of Mrs. Baig's | was recently offered a cabinet post. { "She didn't accept it though, be- {cause she would have been tied down to the party," explained Mrs. aig. "Nien regard politics as a career, but women regard it either as a hobby or an ideal. They feel they can serve the country better if they can speak freely when they {don ¢ agree with the party. After |all, the country comes before the party." Mrs. Baig has been in Canada since last September. Educated in England she has travelled to every continent except Australia, and lived in Paris at different fimes. She was in Washington ' before coming to Ottawa, and finds the comparative quiet of Canada's cap- ital "a blessing--not nearly such a hectic life as in . ashington."

Guerin is fond of outdoor life and feels Canadians have a great opportunity .to enjoy it. However, fishing is one activity she leaves to her husband. "l am quite prepared to eat them but catching them is a sport |1 assuredly do not enjoy," she said. She became serious as she spoke of one of her main interests, wel- fare work among crippled chil- dren, She is an active member of the French Red Cross which does such work to help crippled chil-!f French Ambassador's Wite Happy Working In Garden At Ottawa dren and to prepare them to earn a living.

HAS ACTIVE TIME As a member of the Canadian Red Cross she spends some time each week working in the Ottawa "superfluity" shop. Much of her remaining time is taken up by the many social duties that befall the diplomat, including luncheons, teas and dinner parties at the embassy. "Then there is also the enter- taining of delegations from France," she said. 'I do not know what it is about my compatriots, but they seem to be on the sea, in the air or on the rail all the time." Mme. Guerin herself has had a lot of travel. During her husband's diplomatic careers she has been in Brazil, Holland, England, Finland, Italy and the United States. Since coming to Canada 4% years ago she has travelled from coast to coast. She plans a trip to Paris soon to arrange for displays of French clothing and jewelry at an interna- fiona) exhibition in Montreal next Prov. Chapter IODE Awards Scholarships Mrs. R.

Blatant Advertising May Be Cheapening The Use Of Perfume REGINA (CP) -- Capadian wo- men nay be perfume-shy, and Ro- land Haumont, Canadian represen- tative of a famous French manu- facturer, would like to find out why. . Mr. Haumont is touring Cana- dian cities to find an answer to"the situation. But he has a few ideas of his own. For ope thing, he admits high prices may be a factor. High prices cannot be remedied 2asily, he says. Manufacture of perfumes is a costly nrocess, in- volving skiller laboratory tech- nicians, puchases of costly formu- las and high tariffs and govern- ment taxes. Another factor is the elaborate packaging. Experience has shown that purchasers insist on the trim- mings, he said. TOO MUCH EMPHASIS It's possible Canadian women may be chary of buying. perfume because advertising campaigns put too much emphasis on sex, Mr. Haumont says. "Many women have reached the stage: where they feel that to use perfume is a little, shall we say, too obvious and not quite in good taste. "This is what comes of having blatant promotion that tells the woman to use this fragrance at her own peril." In an effort to woo the' women away from this apparent aversion, perfume manufacturers have re- sorted to a variety of disguises. Perfume now is sold as an essence, a cologne--really #a diluted ° fume--sachet, a liquid and powder form, perfumed creams, dusting powders, lotions, bath salts and even talcums. Mr. Haumont says the use of dusting powder and talcum is strictly Anglo-Saxon. French wo- men never use them or anv of the by products of the real thing, with the exception of cologne. French women have a '"'dainty habit" of putting a liberal dash of cologne in water when rinsing lingerie. Perfumes come from one of three basic essences, orris root, ambergris and musk, To these are added the proper proportion of al- cohol and a little water. Some per- fumes are applied better to fabrics than to the skin which may. turn it rancid. But some perfumes re- act the other way. Russian aris- tocracy introduced the use of per- fumes with furs before the First World War, each odor comple- menting the other.
