ct THE WINNIPEG EVENING TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1923 7 -CLUBS- UPPOSE we stop picking on the her delicatessen flapper husband bride cold canned who meats soup serves and stead of home-made bread and pot roasts and place the blame where it belongs on the husband. It's his fault that woman thinks more of her clothes than she does of her cookbook, because her husband appreciates a smart frock more than an elaborate dessert. A cook on praise and appreciation thrives, much as a singer or an actor. There is no incentive to develop one's talents unless the audience is responsive. The average man has little discrimination about food.

You can feed him steak and potatoes every night and he never conplains, or you can feed him from tin cans and paper boxes and he stands for thatfor a least. His tolerance, makes him most agreeable, does not develop a race of superlative cooks. The wife develops along the lines of her husband's appreciation, and until he alizes the art in cookery, he will find himself paying for the college educazion of his delicatessen merchant's son. St. Luke's branch of the Mothers' anion will hold a business meeting Tuesday afternoon at 3 o'clock.

BRAUND, LIMITED Wholesale Distributors, Winnipeg, Manitoba Discusses Life of Indian Settlers Miss Frances Nickawa Talks of Her Recent Trip to Oxford House Interesting sidelights on the life and customs among the Indian settiers at Norway House and Oxford House were vividly described by Miss Frances Nickawa, the well-known young Bush Cree Indian elocutionist, speaking on her career and varied to a Tribune reporter toexperiences day.

Miss Nickawa in her previous visits Winnipeg established a name for herself through her splendid renditions of Indian poems and legends as "Pauline Johnson's worthy successor." At present she is the guest of Mrs. R. T. Riley at her summer, home at engagement Bird's Hill will and be her an dian addrecubeforepthio, 10, when she will the Women's Canaspeak on her recent trip to Norway House and Oxford House. Typically Indian On first meeting Miss Nickawa one 18 chiefly impressed by the simplicity natural charm of her manner, and her absolute freeness from ostentation.

In appearance she is typically Indian, with coal black crinkly hair, expressive brown eyes and that deeply tanned skin showing generations of outdoor life. Her costume, however, belles her race, as her tive attire is donned only during her recitals. For every-day wear she ad'heres to the mode of her adopted people, and when interviewed today she looked particularly charming in a "King Tut" overblouse fashioned by herself, and a smart white sport skirt. "I love clothes, especially vivid ones," she said in her low musical voice, "but it really would save a good deal of bother if one followed the custom of the Indian women and wore the same styles year after year. No need of worrying about new fall hats then.

An Indian woman would, however, beg, borrow or steal black silk shawl. They prefer them infinitely more than the brilliant scarves nearly always associated with them, and on Sundays one sees throngs of them wending their way the settlement church, each black shrouded head vieing with one another in elaborations of silk work and heavy corded fringes." Born at York House was such attended the church first that day Miss of Nickawa her visit to Norway House this summer. She and a party of five others left Winnipeg, June 20, arriving at their first destination three days later. delegation, consisting of the minister and his wife, the school staff and pupils, received them and after the visit to the church they were escorted to the school house, a three-story building equipped with all modern conveniences. "This was especially interesting to me," Miss Nickawa explained, "because it was at an earlier school built on the same spot that my own education was begun." Born at York Factory, a matter of 9 to 10 days' canoe journey from Norway House, I was taken to a boarding school at the latter settlement at the age of three years.

Who would have thought to look at poor little Indian baby with nothing' on the immediate future but years of training in an Indian settlement, that just over the horizon were waiting the promise of glorious trips, a visit across the sea, and the privilege of long and valued friendships. But six months after my arrival at Norway House the unexpected happened, and I was adopted by Miss H. T. Riley, a sister of Mr. Riley of Winnipeg, who has been my benefactor and constant companion ever since." School at Norway House Miss Nickawa was very much impressed by the new school at Norway and especially in the relationship between the pupils and the staff.

"There is a marvellous spirit of friendliness between them," she said, "which perhaps is due in part to the attitude of Mr. Blackford, the principal. He has got past the stage of thinking they are Indians. To him they are just God's little children. and, after seeing the affection he lavishes on them, one does not wonder at the atmosphere of happiness and freedom in the school." The establishment is kept up by government and the Methodist churchy and accomodates 105 pupils, ranging from the ages of 5 to 15 years, and a staff of nine or ten.

After the visit at Norway House there followed five wonderful days and four long, starry nights, out on the trail by canoe from Norway House to Oxford House. "We covered a distance of 620 miles," she said, "and every single detail of the journey was an experience to me. Shooting the rapids especially wonderful. I had imagined we would be shaken and tumbled about, but instead we got out of the boats and walked across the portage while the men, after tying a rope to the bow and the stern, walked along the edge of the rapids guiding the canoe." Finally, after many such portages, the party arrived at Oxford House, where they spent three weeks FRANCES NICKAWA Edinburgh. Lover of Solitude studying the prevalent conditions at the little Indian settlement there.

"It's only a tiny place," she explained, "but set up on a high cliff, with a lovely beachy shore below. The main buildings consist of the mission and the Hudson's Bay store and the Indian settlers earn their money by freighting for the Hudson'e Bay company, the mission and other traders." And as for the Indian people themselves, they have improved in many ways since I last saw them 13 years ago. They have certainly learnt more of modern culture, but that finer courtesy which is at once so noticeable among them seems to have been born in them and cannot be rivalled by any other nation in the world. Is Extensive Traveller Although this to Miss Nickawa was one of her most Interesting trips, taking her back as it did to the scenes of her childhood, it is by no means her longest. All her life she has travelled extensively.

Her first trip any distance was taken at the age of five years, when she visited Winnipeg, and gave a recital at Grace church. This was the first time she seen a gallery and she was 80 taken back that all she could do Aikins, stand and who gasp was until chairman, Sir took her by the hand and said, "Well, my dear little girl, and what are you going to do now?" The comforting assurance of his voice brought back poise to the youthful entertainer and she says she will always owe a debt of gratitude to Sir James for helping her over her first experience of stage fright. At eight years old she accompanied Miss Riley to Vancouver, and it was there, a few years later, she was discovered by Harold Nelson Shaw, of the vancouver School of Expression. For five years she studled with him, and, possessing remarkable ability and the gift of depicting every emotion, she soon gained fame as one of the most clever of elocutionists on the continent. Her first public tour took place four years ago, when she visited various western cities, and the following September she through as far as Ontario.

In 1920, she went to England and established a name for herself which almost outrivalled the one won on this side of the water, Throngs crowded to Queen's Hall, London, to hear the famous young Indian girl and she was received with unbounded enthusiasm during her three visits to But, after all, in spite of the enthusiastic ovations which greet her on all sides, Miss Nickawa, although she delights in her work, loves nothing better than to escape from everybody and seek rest and peace in the companionship of nature. "I naturally am sensitive to meetIng people," she said, "and I am never, never lonely if I lie out under the sky and talk to the birds and trees. People say I am different, but I can gain just as much from tiny living things of the earth as I can from talking to the millions of casual acquaintances one meets every day. As for Winnipeg, it is a lovely citybut oh, so busy. All one hears 1s rattle, rattle, rattle all the time.

Everything is a constant bustle and no one is ever still." Miss Nickawa war expected to leave Winnipeg shortly after her address before the Canadian club, and on her return trip plans to visit in Calgary, Portage and Brandon. In February she will make a tour of Australia, and then will proceed to England, where she intends to take up singing in addition to her elocution. drew's church will Monday The Ladies' Aid society. of St. Anafternoon, at 3 o'clock, at the home of Mrs.

Dingwall values represents not only intrinsic worth they embody utmost desirability, attractiveness, and authority. 40 years of consistent value-giving to the people of Winnipeg and Western Canada is the record of this establishment. DR Dingwall, WINNIPEG PARIS BUILDING HOLIDAYS NOT COMPLETE REST Majority Feel Worn Out After Return From Annual Vacation In theory, of course, everybody ought to return from the annual hollday refreshed and reinvigorated, and quite ready to carry on wtih the common task for another eleven months or 80. It 1s beautiful theory; but, like so many of them, It is liable to be badly punctured by inexorable truth.

As matter of fact, many people complain of actual Illness during week or so after return from the the lakeside or the country. It is not the contrast between the office and the lakeside that causes that feeling of nausea; it springs from purely physical origins. For many people. It is a question of diet. The country air or the lake breezes create a feeling of hunger to which the -bred people" (as Mr.

Kipling 50 rudely calls them) have long been strangers. The unaccustomed food tempts to daring experiment: and the net result 18 to put it bluntly-overeating. Even if the holiday is spent at some hotel or boarding-house, there is a tendency to consume more food; the air and change of scene sharpen the appetite, and there are 50 many picnics and other festivities that the routine of home is utterly abandoned. After spending a fortnight in this way the vacationist returns to stuffy city office and suburban home, with his digestive apparatus reeking with all sorts of toxins set up by, injudicious He has brought back wth him an Improved appetite, which he continues to gratify, though he no longer lives out of doors in the pure lakeside or country air. This is why some delicate people upset and puzzle their friends by falling to derive any beneft from a holiday.

The lake air and plenty of good country food, seem to have no beneficial effect; and the person has an attack of nasal catarrh, or some other allment, directly upon the return home. The only explanation that the doctor can find that there is such a numerous invasion of the allmentary canal by armies of germs that they overflow Into the blood and tissues, and, as the saying goes, "fly to the weakest spot." Thus, if the person is subject to asthma -for instance--an attack of that ailment is coincident with the return from the vacation. It follows, therefore, hollday -maker should be 'especially careful about his, or her, eating and drinking while away from home. Perhaps some of the fun of being away would be missed if one ate precisely the same kind of meals as one gets nt home; but there is no necessity to fling all caution to the winds. Perhaps some scoffer will say that at some boarding: -houses it is impossible to but doubtless this is a base slander upon a hard- workIng and deserving class of women.
