These papers frequently refer to the history of Toronto houses and the people who lived in them when the huge city was "Muddy York". Kingston has a rich historic past, many stories of interest are simply waiting to be told, and the Kingston Histori- cal Society has surely many members quite capable of telling them in an in- teresting way. That the weather is still rather cool for housecleaning but still some of our notable housewives arg hard at it. Few people turn the house out of the win. dows as they used to and are more in. clined to follow the English method of spring cleaning, which is to do one room at a time. Clean fresh chintz, curtains and rugs brighten up a house wonderfully, but beware of letting fires out until the weather is warmer. That the people responsible for the unpleasantness suffered by women travellers crossing from one country to another at our border line between Canada and the United States are the women who smuggle goods across the line. The guilty ones are usually mark. ed and on being asked to declare their purchases, fail to do so. The only course which seems open to the cus. toms officers is to treat everyone as guilty if they refuse to declare their goods. This appears a reverse of the British idea that everyone is innocent until he is proved guilty, but the cases are difficult to deal with, especially as many women who would never dream of breaking any other law of their Country, seem to think smuggling quite justifiable.

The following sug- gestions deal omly with the ncces- sary china and glass. There are many pieces, such as after-dinner coffee cups, parfait glasses, high iced-tea glasses, finger bowls, boui- llon cups and Saucers, a large punch bowl and celery and roll trays, which are ideal to have--but which for most newly married people to whom a penny means something, The tena- ency, to-day, is to serve salad on glass plates; and to have the china plates for various courses harmon- ize, but not necessarily' match. For instance, plain green dinner plgtes are pretty, with perhaps green- banded soup plates, and dessert plates in some green-leaf or flower- and-leaf pattern. It is not necessary to our whole "dinner sets" as our ancestors did. Necessary China: Plates. Six cereal dishes. Twelve breakfast plates (also used for tunch and suppér). 'Twelve bread and butter plates. Six salad plates (also used for desserts if desired). Six soup plates. Twelve coffee cups, with saucers.

VIVID COSTUMES STRESSED AT PARIS EASTER RACES Paris, April 17.--Although many of the smart set were absent from Paris, the Easter races attracted a distinctly fashionable gathering. The dominant style note was the emphasis given color, many" entire costumes being developed in ma- donna blue, bright red, the new greens, pinky beiges and mauves, Smart Americans and English- women strongly endorsed this color movement. Not only was the dominance of color true of the more formal types, but it was featured in tailored top- coats and suits of lightweight wool- ens. Felt or velour hats in a matching or slightly darker shade led in mil- inery, purple hats with mauve cos- tumes being smart examples of the latter. Occasionally one noted kid pumps matching the costume, carrying out the ensemble note. Beige and grey costumes with the I cn, - Women's Silk Vests chid and White. cdalfor,..... .
