Graýsart *wha Is a teachý- er af Spanish and French at Ontario Ladies' College, Whit-I by, was boru in Yorksl4ire but received ber university educa- tion iu Canada, being a grad- uate af Queen's. 1I came te Canada ta see what It was like," she related. "I liked what I faund, and I stayed." Mrs. Grosart has studied in France and visited it mauy times. She has also travelled in Spain, and during the war years, she spent a gooti deal af time in thef by-ways of Que- bec. Fnom persanal observa- tions made in these places, she spoke on '"Some Aspects ai Family Lufe in France. Spain aud Quebec."1 Her keen sensel af humor, vivaciaus persouality aud ability as a raconteur de- lighted her audience and brought ber- prolonged ap- plause at the conclusion of- ber informal talk. Qune cf the most strikiug things about Frenchmen is their individuality, Mrs. Gros- art felt. They prefer games for individuals nather than teams, and their strong indîvidual op- inions are perhaps lu part re- sponsible for the lack ai agree- mnt iu their government. Family Close Unit The French woman is very chic, on a small amaunt of meney, is a marvellous cook and regards her home as ber career, Mrs. Grosart said. The family is a close unit and mar- riages are still anranged by par- ents lun France. "I try ta tell ny students-who. should know better than the parents," Mrs. nrosart said laughing, "but they lon't agree with me. It. works well in France, but perhaps it wouldn't ber.." Ifi both France and Spain ne of the moat stniking things te au outsider was the polit.- ness and good manuers met with. It was especially notice-' able lu the childreu ai bath countnies. "In Spain manuers are a necessity ofi lue," the speaker -said. lu the begiunriug children'are very much spailed by having everytbing doue for theni by a sSrvant. even in average income homes, since wages are low, but "somewhere along the lin. they get trained anti are convertet into extreme- [y well manuered atiults. Et must be somewbere in the edu- cational - system, sud 1 I ould like te know just w-here, but Land cf Tomorrew Convenieuces such as plumb. ing,. central heating and refrig. eration, in bath France and Spain are shocking by au- standards. Spain af course È the 4country af "manana" (to- marrow), everything will get done sometime, and noboci: worries. I"We had a erfectly lovely bathtub whýere îIstayed in Spain. But it wasn't cohnect- ed! Some day it would be." The Spanish and French are extremely witty, which is quite different from the "bu- mer" of the Englishman. Other conclusions which Mrs. Gros- art reached about living in these couhtries. as contrasted wîth aur Canadian way of life, were that we might emulate their feeling ai time instead of rushing about so frantically. Also, we might be warnec against s0 much spectator en- joyment, and against mistaking luxuries for necessities. Iu Quebec famuly life reach- es a high peak, Mrs. Grosart said, aud the size of families is much larger than in France. French housewives have a big job and few rights. Only ir, December, 1954 did Quebec legislation delete married wom- en from the same class as idiots and minors with regard ta cer- tain legal rights. The Frenchi- man is a republican at heart, Mrs. Grasart stated, but the French Canadian is an ardent monarchist. This was amply shown in the reception given ta King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, and ta Princess Eli- zabeth, uaw the Queen, when they visited Canada. Thingi That Unit. "Values differ with different types of people," Mrs. Grosart said in conclusion. "But we arc ail uuited in such thiugs as striving ta do the best we can for aur cblîdren, educationally and saeially. There is a funda- mental loving kinduess and un- derstandiug which is outside language and country. We trust that it will spread from home ta home, sud land ta land until it encompasses tl4e earth." Mrs. Grosart was thariked for her address which was fiiled flot ouly- with information but witty anecdote, by James Aber- nethy, vice-president of the club.' He also presented Mrs. Grosart wîth a corsage. W4lbert Teeple expressed thanks ta the baya who cooked dinner, tiiose who assisted and those who tock part in the prograni. The evening concluded with another solo by Glen Prout, #A Perfect Day", and the benediction pro. naunced by the minister, Rev. rHarold Turner. ,Dishe s tili remained ta bfe dont., but were made short wez'k by 9msy wUIhn nI. cf that nature at a protesting member'a summer cottage.
