Desarmeau of Sudbury, USED WHEN FRYING Chit Chat (02 New Fire Hazard on Hot Days HOW WOULD YOU LIKE SOMEBODY TO WALK UP behind you on the street and lift your brand new hat right off your head? Nowadays, when it takes so much energy to get one of those cagey lids perched properly on elegant coiffures it would be indeed no joke. But that very thing happened to a certain Miss Phyllis Parker of London, England, who was strolling the other day in Hyde Park to get a spot of cool.

But all with good reason. A pedestrian walking behind her saw a stream of smoke rising from the hat, and despite Miss Parker's spirited "How dare you, dashed up to snatch the burning headgear from her head. 'Twas really a fire. A small glass ornament on the hat had caught the hot sun's rays and acted as a burning glass. And Miss Parker was saved from what would likely have been serious head burns.

Pearls Were His Gift PARTING NOTES ABOUT ALYCE AND REG Mayne's wedding the other day. Reg's gift to her was a string of magnificent real pearls- not the ones she wore to the wedding. He presented them on the way from the church to the reception and when we saw Alyce she'd mislaid them for the minute--we certainly hope for only a minute. Describing her bridal get-up we neglected to tell you she wore earl ivory nail polish -which is a rather unusual sight but was really quite lovely, particularly with her ivory satin wedding gown. No Delegate at C.W.L.

Convention AS FAR AS OFFICERS KNOW NOW. NORTH BAY'S Catholic Women's League won't have a representative at the annual C.W.L. convention In Winnipeg next week. The convention goes on from June 25 to June 30. Mrs.

J. J. Saya, president of this subdivision, represented North Bay at Quebec's convention last year, but won't be in Winnipeg for this year's sessions. Mrs. T.

P. Doyle of Sudbury, who's diocesan president, will be delegate from Sault Ste. Marie diocese. Women from all over the Dominion will be there. Each subdivision sends a voting delegate- Mrs.

Doyle is Sudbury's -but any other C.W.L. members may attend, of course. Sudbury's also sending Mrs. R. J.

Regan, as representative of Christ the King branch. Mrs. W. R. Maher of North Bay is treasurer of this diocese, but she won't be able to attend either.

National officers will be elected by the voting delegates and the usual convention business carried on. All of which will be mixed up with numerous social functions for the visiting ladies. Sudbury's Mrs. Doyle has attended several of these conventions, Victoria, Ottawa, Quebec, but this is Mrs. Regan's first venture.

It promises to be an unusually interesting week for the ladies, and we certainly hope that North Bay will have a delegate there next year. Electric Toaster For Lillian WE'RE HEARING ABOUT ANOTHER JUNE wedding. Lillian Ison's to Rocco Calvello. There've been several parties Lillian, but none nicer than the one Alva Runciman, May Forrest and Myrtle Buchanan had for her the other night. Lillian's a teacher and guests were 24 girls of that profession.

It was at Alva's home, 42 Third avenue east. An electric toaster was the gift from the guests to the bride-to-be. It was a gay evening with all kinds of novel contests, each last one of them having to do with brides or June weddings. They Flew From Cleveland IF YOU HAVE FOUR HOURS TO SPARE AND IF YOU ARE 8 resident of Cleveland, it's a good idea to hop in a plane and come to North Bay -that is, if you have a plane. Mr.

and Mrs. John Yoast of Cleveland did just that the other day. Mrs. Yoast was Hazel Edwards and North Bay is her home town, so she and hubby took a little jaunt up this way in their plane. They arrived about noon and circled the Edwards' home three times when they arrived so the family would know it was they and go out to the airport to pick them up.

Their plane is an Aeronca-a grand shade of red and it's just big enough for the two of them plus a limited amount of baggage. Hazel and John were quite impressed with our new airport and said it was definitely something for the city to be proud of. They've gone back now, but maybe we'll be seeing lots of Hazel from now on.

After a reception in the Empire Hotel for the 75 wedding guests, Rose and Frank are leaving for a honeymoon--two weeks at the New York World's Fair.

Then back to Northern Ontario and Timmins to the task of setting up housekeeping. Through the Stomach BRIDES COULD TAKE A LOOK AT THIS -IT'S A DIAMONDring course in the do's and don'ts of the kitchen.

They say that A thick, juicy steak is still the best way to make the lovelight glow In hubby's eyes. So for new wives they give this advice.

Don't forget he's a man and he likes a square meal. Don't try out your pet specialties on him the first night in your new home--and this from an ex-bride whose pride was custard pie. didn't know her brand new husband abhorred it and it made him sick. Have one hot meal every day -even if it's only small. It aids his digestion and improves his disposition.

Don't give him light, fancy desserts. Most men don't care 8 whoop about their waistlines. They like pies and puddings-or at least ice cream. Don't serve fussy and effeminate foods. Men like food they can really sink their teeth into a sandwich he can get his fist over, or a cookie with at least two bites.

And here's something that'll please the ladies. The Association says to lie in bed mornings and take it easy in the afternoons. Getting dinner ready will be easier and besides, any husband expects his wife to be a good companion in the evening. WILL HAVE CHARGE OF SUMMER SCHOOL F. S.
