INGO" -CF MItK< -194o lhi UHRONICLL ~INGE AR2 Last Tuesday f had my ride on the new Toronto way. On the whole,. I thet it was gracd. Just imagie boarded the train at Mil arrîved at Union Station, the Subway te Coilege anc" able to keep an appein without once getting ,ou the pouring vain It was derful. Now for reasons for an'lt against the Subway. I liked tt clean, reomy, fast - movh coaches. I liked th mysteries distant rumble of the train as approaches the plafforim. I liket> the escalators - but I defînite- ly didn't like the steep stone steps.' In saime stations there are two flights to chmnb. Actual- ly the steps are my only objec- tion to an otherwise pedec method of transportation. The: were, however a few things th worried me that could be pre vented - passengers stand' to cjose te the edge of tht form; methers allowing chil tee much freedomn while ing for a trains- children ing too roughly could push each other on to the- ..with fast trains c every two minutes tht to great. 0f course there are stis people every day taking first ride and some of them .s -realize there ls more than one door. There are aise people keeping away f rom the Subway entirely, havmg heard rumeurs of doors that automatically open and close hardly giving passen- ges time to get on and off. That is just nonsense, of course. Nov in there any needfor wvhat hap- pened te Ellen and Mary who were taking their first ride on the subway. Ellen got on tht train but Mary was left behind on the platform! But even in a case like that jthere is no need te panic. Ellen had only te wait at her destination fer Mary 'to comve on by the next trim -- pessibly a matter ef five or seven minutes. But this I must say - it isn't wise to rend the evening paper as you vide. Far better to watch for your station on the wall et every platform or first thing yeu know yo will fnd yourself at Eglinton in- stead et Bloor or' College or wherever yeu imnended te get off, Back te tht country,.. spring seems te have been se Iate in coming the last few years. And a late spring makes such a rush job ef seeding. Not enough cf the righit kind of weather fro a long enough time is realy what causes tht trouble. It Mt doesnt lea.ve any margin A breakdown with a traci for even a few heurs can men a week's delay la getting a fîeld seeded if vain should come befere the repair job is dene. No dout this feeling of having te beft the weathur is responsible for a few tields liere and fhere not being worked up as well au they mnight be.

Home sewng experienced a rivival during World War Il when inexpensive and well-made mauufactured clothes were hard te flnd, and has been mushroom- ing ever sice. Now sewing ma- chine manufacturers are turning ont machines and attachments that will do almost every intri- cate stitch and job hitherto per- fovmed only la the protessienal workshops. There are rufflers whieh can ruffle 10 yards of material in e minute, and binders which not only bind over the edge of tht tabric but sew it down in an at- tractive zigzag stitch at the came time. Buttonheles do not have te present the inevitable problen any more either, since ne o the most practical attachments now being put eut is tht button- haler, which can be adjusted to any size vequired. frx22fe Quilting You ean practically make your own fabries today, tee, thanks to tht inventiveness o! thtesewing machins industry. On the mar- ket now i a guiding prong for the home machine which guides the needîe along the stitching lines required fer quilted mater- li. Sine quilted fabrics ave te- ing used more ad mort lu the clothes field, this new gadget e- ables any woman te take hr favorite fabric and quilt it pro- fessionally. Illustrative of the many jobs whîch can be done with machine attachments is the new teoklet entitled "Sewing Magie for Teen- Agers," written byv Mildred Ryan and publîshea by the Greisi Manufacturing Company. Itie- plains how te use cloth guides, adjustable zipper and cording fest, scisors cutting gauges, gath- ering feet, varions types et hem- mers, tuckers, quilters, e d g e stitchers, multiple slotted biud- ers, and ruflers. But wdondrful as ail these are, they are really the frosting oun ~he sewing cake. Any womn Can start to esw with only n sewing machine -- et whateve vintage-aud a 1ittle imagination snd patience. Ontet tht tallacies held about sans sewing - mainly, I believe, by those who think they can't s5ew -is that te be professonul 'eking a garment has te have a .ot et detail or tbe f an intricat lesign. Actually the contrary ls 4-rus. Onteto tht mot important aspects of sewing sle not the av- ual machine or hnd-work, but oicking eut a pattern and mater- ai that are, so te speak, made Uer nch other. yry Sieevelese Dress Fer n beginuer, there le ne bet- ter pLace to start than ou a sun- mer dress. When deciding on a pattera, choose one that bas ne sleeves. Or, if yen feel yen muet have sonsesleeves, select a pat- tera that bas the sleeves cnt rig'ht ente the bedice. A home- made look will show up firet la a sieeve badly or buuchly set it a shoulder. Collars can be tricky, tee. and If yen teel yen don't want te tackle eue ou your first tr-y, choose a plain round neckline or perhaps one thati slit down the front sad which eau te dressed up with jewelry te take away the plainaess. Gatered skirts are usually easy and se are flared ones or anse with unpressed pieute. But skirte made la titra or wîth rut- *flesJa arpyd the bettom càn te ditiult for the beginger aad arelh-.to iron. w if you have a pattera that can choose a materia that is practically a work of art in it- self. One of the enornously wide range of fabrices t choose from, not only la design but alse in the fibers. Cotton is still onetO the most wearable and easy-to-take-care- of materials on tht market. Sewlng Centers Help Synthetic fabrics have jumped io the yard goods world with amazing force since the war, Nylon is becoming more versa- tile with different weaves now being offered, as well as both patterned and plain materiaL. Made up in a simple summer pattern, a nylon dress is a joy te take care of and for traveling simply cannot be matched. If you do want a pattern with a little more detail te if, the nearest sewing center wil] cover buttons and belts and make but- tonholes for a very smal fee, Attendants will also give you advice if yeu get bogged down. There is ont experience i sewing however, that e v e r y woman must steel herseif to tace That ei tht movement - jst as you fesel yeu have finally achiev- ed a Fifth Avenue look in your designs - when seome dear friend comes rushing up and exclaim, "What a lovely drees, did you make it yourself?" Had Their usic Despite The Lawv Holland bas just passedt a law under which if ls strictly pro- hibited to create a noise et any kind on a Sunday morning. The definition of "noise" in his in- stance is a sound that can be heard 200 yards froi the point of or.igin. The ged folk et Kerkrade, a Dutch village on tht Cerman border, were dismayed when they heard about tht new !aw. It has alwaye been a cheished eustom in Kerkrade for couples celebratipg their golden wed- ding anniversary to attend church on the nearest Sunday morning accompanied by al the viUgers and the joyous music of a brass band. Especially disgruntled ,w e r e Mv. and Mrs. Crutzen, oftKerk- rade's Nieuw Straat, who were about te celebrate their golden wedding la traditiena] manner. Then an ingenious felìow- citizen had an idea, Since the German - Dutch border aetually runs through the village, the brase band belonging te the Ger- man part was engaged for the occasion. And while the vener able couple headed tht silent procession toe churcl along the le Ft side of tht wire feue cep- arating the Dutch and German halves f the village, members o! tht brase band of the Dutch vil- lage followed in silence wiith their instruments reversed. But on the other side of the tence tht band of tht German half et the village played lusty marchiug music lu deñlance of the new Dutech law.
