MO ENT TffE CANfADIAM STATESMAN. 30 WMA1"VILLE. OTARIO lHR=SDAY, MAR. Ith.- 195-' by ELSIX CAEEUTHERI LIJNNE COTJLD IT BE SPRING? Perhaps it was because of the Pashion Show last week, or rnaybe because we heard num- erous crows cawing from the Woods by the creek one bright maorning, or because we were startled to find that the sun was setting opposite our kit- chen window once more in- stead of south-west in the di- rection of Oklahoma; or may- be the March wind blowing great swirls of winter sand in our face on King Street put us in mind of it-anyway, we went uip to the attic an Sat- urday ta see what we had in the way of spring bats. We could remember perfect- ly the one that our better haif made a discouraging remark about, but we did have another one. Now what did it look like? Ah, ves. Here it was, grey to go with th-e grey suit, and the blue suit too. With curiosity and a littie trepidation %ve stood before the mirror. Last year's bats have the queercst habit of looking quite peculiar the following seasan. First the black one, somnething like an averturned, crinkled flower bowl. Not bad, really. Men say the funniest things about hats. Then the grev. Ah, yes. Quite ahl rigbt, andf it xvould look a lot better with the suits 'than with this old skirt and a blouse corne awry in the dusting. The no- tion to try on the hats we have in stock usually strikes us when we are in our oldest clothes. And bere's a frothy little num- ber in yellow we made last spring to go ta a tea. Hmm. On the right occasion it would prabably look quite acceptable. But naturally we must have a new hat. In the meantime, these will do to go on with, as the British say. And there's FINE QUALITY MONUMENTS AND MARKERS A tm.ff uism. k. oe STAFFORD Lieulur Stafford Bras.

And speaking of the English, we are a strong supporter of their traditional custom of af- ternoon tea. Not that we don't like coffee, we do. There is notbing in tbe world ike the fragrance of good coffee, espe- cialiy as one cornes into the bouse on a crisp night. But we have always feit that tea was the right drink for afternoon, preferably from a pretty tea pot and drunk from pretty cups. The loud laughter you hear is from aour fellow office work- ers who know that at the of- fice we bave succumbed ta the canvenience of a coffee mug--- thick and sturdy, the kind that doesn't upset easily. But we are ail for the praper rituai and accampaniments at borne. There is sornetbing not quite civilized about drinking tea from a mug. And it wouid be quite un- thinkable to make tea from tea crystals put into a cup witb bot water poured on, as witb in- stant coffee. We beg the man- ufacturers' pardan, but we can't go aiong witb the latter product at ail. To true coffee loyers, it just isn't-well, it just isn't. The same might be true, we fear, of the proposed tea crystals. Ceylon is eonsidering the idea in order ta increase ber tea sales. Coffee bas been gain- ing as a drink in some court- tries. and England is one of them. But the English have rallied round the flag and the teapot on hearing of the Cey- Ion proposal. The Manchester Guardian writes: "O0ur tea cere- mony yields nothing ta the Ja- panese in reverence, although it may in dignity. The pot," the editorial continues, "is ah- most apotbeosized." (That's deified, we looked it Up.) "It must be warmed and cossetted, and denands its own special spoonful. But naw, as our Col- ombo correspondent reports, tbere is a movement in Cey- Ion ta subvert the cuit . . . so that tea making will be reduc- ed ta the status of mixing a dose of saits." Quite rigbt. Why, do you know that in somne restaurants in the United States you sub- merge a littie cube wrapped in tinfoil into a cup of bat, nat even boiing water, and tbey cail the resuit tea? They can make coffee mind yau.

We bave neyer seen the Blue Grosbeak, so this is mast inter- esting. Earlier in the winter there was just one Evening Grosbeak, then he disappeared for two weeks, "but apparently he wenti to inform the athers," Mrs, Dewell writes, "for they came back la flocks and bave stay-J ed on. There will be 40 or 50 at a time. Aitbaugh called Eve- ning Grasheaks, they put ani tbeir greatest show in thel morning. Tbey are quite tane and appear ta like tbe music on the radio, but are great - scrappers." The brigbt red of tbe Car- dinal, blue of the Jays and brigbt yellaw and black of the Grosbeaks has made a brilliant winter pîcture for Mrs. Dew- eli. One of tbe fernalê Gros- beaks was banded.
