Across the Hitchen Table BY MRS. MAC Here I am, back on the job, af- ter a holiday trip with my son which took us over 1200. miles through Ontario, many of them on roads that I had never travel- led before. And incidentally, $15.75 paid for all the gas little Sally Volkswagen consumed, and she didn't give us one bit 'of trouble all the way there and back. And when-we got home, my son bought 'a Volkswagen too! Going down by way of Muskoka, I was disappointed that the trees had not started to color, but com- ing back made .up for it. Around | G@arleton Place and Almonte, the ' coloring was really breathtaking, but do you: know where the most- ' gorgeous display was? On No. 11 Highway on this side of North Bay. At Dunnville I had the 'qondeut ful experience of visiting Mrs: Al- dee Dean, a most interesting per-| . gon, 83 years young, whose home _ would drive an antique collector _ mad. I have never seen so many beautiful articles in my life, and Joving old things as I do, I just wandered from one part of her home to another, exclaiming over the beauty of these priceless ob- jects, until I ran out of adjectives. Glassware, pewter, silver, china, wood, needlework, (I think every chair in the house was unholstered in needlepoint), lamps, swords, tables, pictures -- I couldn't des- cribe them all in a year. And she knows the history of every one of them! She also has'a col- lection of old buttons, all mount- ed on sheets of bristol board, and described. When I asked her how many she had, her reply was: "Oh, I haven't very. many now. I sold quite a few of them. I have only about 25,000; I used to have over 30, 000. 9 Hews from the Lrelyn Shoppe HAILEYBURY We still think Grandma 'had -the : right idea when she brought out » her flanelette nightie at the first hint of winter, and WE have a Grandma nightie, in blue and red polka. dots on~white with smart sleeveless duster in plain red or blue to wear over it. This set, in waltz-length, has all the earmarks of smart, modern styling and we're sure even Grandma would nod her head in approval: The price is! right too, only $5.98 for the set, and a pair of Lyons slippers in blending hue of fluffy nylon pile fabric, would make such a smart ensemble. Many other lines of stylish sleepwear are now in also, as well as a good selection of Lyons packaged slippers. You must see our Boutique dis- play of that special, different small gift, starting as low as $1:00. You will be amazed at the colléction of unusual gifts and you will find many of them so useful that you will want them for yourself. These are very popular se shop early for the best choice. Ask to see the new contoured _ slacks by Miss Sun Valley 'and.the Petite dresses from. size-five by+4 Jack Poslun, Have you seen the warm lamin- ated wool jersey scarf coat at Evelyn's? Or the smart thirty-six inch length by Poslun's? These come with warm Borg linings, or laminated and quilted linings. In the life of the busy housewife, a sport coat is really necessary and is perfect for the hurried: trip up town. And we have sports: hats of all sorts to wear with your oas- ual clothes, all very new and dif- ferent. Watch our windows for new ar- theles arriving daily, or better still, make your next stop, Evelyn's, when down town. My hostess, Mrs. Cowell and her friend Mrs. Ramsay, are cellect- ing articles to help furnish an old log cabin recently acquired by the Dunnville Historical Society, and they were delighted to say the least, when Mrs. Dean gave them an old lantern. (The type used by 'Lucy Gray" when she went to meet-her mother), candle molds, a stone warming jug, one of the first stone sealers with screw top; and several other equally interest- ing articles. As we were coming along the Queen Elizabeth on our way to Carleton Place, my son had the wind taken out of his sails in no uncertain manner. We were skim- ming along at 65, (he was driving of course) and suddenly another Volkswagen, driven by an old white-haired lady, went past us with a. whoosh, and in less time than it takes to téll it, she had disappeared around the next cor- ner, so from. now on, I'm con- sidering myself «a~ very~ tonserva- tive driver. (But that will be the only Conservative thing about me.) At Carleton, I attended my cous- in's golden wedding anniversary, and met several cousins and other friends whom JI had not seen for years. But then I had a bit of an experience which wasn't so pleas- ant. I slammed the door of my eousin's-ecar on my thumb, eutting it so badly that it had to be amp- utated between the nail and the first joint. However, I am very. thankful that it was the left thumb instead of the right, and it could so easily have been all the finger- 'tips instead of just the thumb. When._it happened, I was. right across the street from the office of the one doctor I knew in Carle- ton, and-incidentaly, he's a. second cousin of Pete MecEwen's.. Fortun- ately, I am experiencing very little '|inconvenience in either typing or driving. My family feels a lot worse about it than I do. -How- ever, I do hope that this is the last time I do such-a stupid thing. It's the: third time it's happened and I have no one but myself to -blame. ae af Since-I came back, I have been up to my eans in preparations for our New Liskeard Women's Insti- tute Bazaar. and Tea, which is be- ing held in the Community Hall on Saturday, October 21st. It is the first time that we have 'attempt- ed such an undertaking and I hope that everyone in this area who reads this will try to attend it, from 2:30 to 4:00 p.m. Letter to the Editor October 17, 1961.
