ordinary everyday chores un der the circumstances it was quite enough however i did manage to get in a few hours in toronto last friday actually more than i had hoped for not to have gone would have been a great disappointment as i had been invited to attend an exhibit of hooked rugs which had come from almost every wj dis tnet in ontario in response to a competition sponsored by the sa lada tea company the rules of the competition were simple the rugs had to be onginal in design hooked with rags and made by a w i group entries were limited to one rug from each district previously judged to be the best entry from the various branch es in each district i wish you could have seen those rugs they were marvellous in design and of beautiful workman ship sixty four in all from points as far distant as thunder bay tim- iskaming perth and port arthur however the winning entries were not announced that day nor will they be made public until the fall so we were able to amuse ourselves m trying to gue- which would win the awards twtrof the fudges were present mrs d macpherson of dutton and miss ina hodgins of carp they knew which were the prize winning entries but neither of them so much as blinked an eyelid at the various comments passing back and forth and yet some folk say women cant keep a secret if only i could describe each one of those 64 rugs they were all so good many of the entries featured coronation designs others worked in the w i motto for home and country and some managed de sign around the letters acww some of the rugs were meant for the floor only you would

remember years ago when the water was carried by pail to the house many homemak ers used tartaric add and epsom salts to perk up the flavor of fruit juice and probably to make the drink more tart
