But knitâ€" ting was known long before these countries became civilized, and is mentioned in the Bible. The fishing nets of the Pharaohs were manufactured on this prinâ€" ciple, and in the account of the Crucifixion we are told that Our Lord wore a" garment "without seam, woven from the top throughout." We know, too, that the Angloâ€"Saxons knitted, for WARTIME MATERIALS Another result of the war is alâ€" most exclusive use of Canadian, British and American woollen maâ€" terials in daytime gowns, suits and coats.

A new kind of sequin which looks like a bit of black motherâ€"ofâ€"pearl is catching on while wooden and leather substitutes as well as glass and celluloid novelties are taking the place of the European accesâ€" sories. It looks as though the stock of beads and cut stones heretofore used extensively for dress decoraâ€" tion may not hoid out. Until 1938 most of the heads and colored stones came from Czechoâ€"Slovakia. Nailheads and rivets in silver, gilt and black make good substitutes. Such commonplace things as nail heads and ministure "rivets" will be part of the wellâ€"dressed Canadâ€" fian qvomen‘s costume during the wirter, and according to the dress trade, the war is responsible.

Many were already married when they came overseas, and a fow have brought their wives over to be with them. As for the troops, bored with tedium, a little flattering feminine attention is far from unwelcome. "As a matter of fact," he admitâ€" ted, "when we arrive at a town, they seem to have all the girls rounded up in no time. They don‘t even wait to cat." "There have been only two marâ€" riages in my unit in the year we‘ve been here," a major of the First Division told me. "But that doesn‘t mean the boys don‘t get around." "DON‘T WAIT TO EAT" The military statistics branch maintains no special department for matrimonial records. Members of the C.A.S.F. who wish to marry, however, must first receive permisâ€" sion, and the general impression around headquarters is that the number of applications has been a good deal less than excessive. There was some discussion a while ago as to the rapidity with which a portion of the C. A. S. F. was being led down the aisle by the Mother Country‘s daughters. It now appears, however, that the marriage rate for Canadian troops is far from reaching epidemic proâ€" portions. CAN‘T FORGET GIRLS AT HOME Apparently no khaki shoulder with the neat "Canada" tab need suffer from the lack of a blonde head to rest on it, but the records seem to indicate that nothing very permanent comes of it.
