Ideas For Shower Gifts Bridal showers make for a busy season. And this means gifts a plenty, gifts that take very special thought. There are so many basic things essential to setting up a new household. Yet how much more fun it is to give shower gifts that are attractive to open and exciting to have. So why not combine the two and give gifts that are both practical and pretty? Fortunately, today's manufacturers are right there with a helping hand and almost everything that is needed In a home is available In a good-looking form. Take laundry equipment, for Instance. What could be more mundane? What could be more necessary for the new homemaker? And what could be better looking than some of today's laundry aids? One gift that you might select Is a hamper in brilliant Italian or Mexican straw. For the bride who can't plan jon having a dryer right away you might just give a length of clothesline with an assortment of colourful plastic clothespins or a large plastic clothesbasket. An ironing board in brightly painted metal would surely be a successful choice You might also join forces with another shower guest and present the bride with one of the new good looking steam, dry and spray irons or give an assortment of ironing aids packed in a sturdy, colourful basket The basket itself can then be used again and again as a handy storage spot for everything needed at Ironing time. The basket might be filled with any number of things. A pretty 'Th^pvertisemen^^ by the Liquor Control Board orT^heGovernment ot BHtisrCoiunibia" say for Cautling Pilsener SUdl A British Columbia favorite for more than Forty years. pastel ironing board cover would certainly be appreciated. To go with it you might add one of the new flower-bedecked ironing board dust covers. You might also include a press mit or a "ham". These come in both plaids and prints and they are wonderful to have on hand for pressing shaped garment areas. A press cloth is another essential. Heavy cheese cloth is an excellent press cloth and will be an inexpensive addition to the basket. And don't forget spray starch. This, too, comes in attractive containers. Another basic Ingredient for the homemaker's ironing set isa sprinkling can. Even these are available in "exotic" shapes and can be found in everything from glass to brass. For the traditional minded bride you might choose an antique,bottle and add a sprinkler cap, for the modern girl a brass spray can. Then as a final touch, pop in a long hand led brush or a sponge to use in catching flecks and lint while Ironing. f)is is to crrtif)' llint 93rd.

Here the couple had their youngest son, Ed, who now lives with his family on the farm.

QUESNEL KINETTES celebrate in swinging style the 18th birthday of their club. The party, held at Peony Gardens last Wednesday featured Chinese food, entertainment provided by Mr. Paul Gagnon of Prince George, and the members dressed in similar clothes of what they wore 18 years ago. Pictured above, back row, left to right are the Mesdames: Georgie McFarland, Lorna Anderson, Judy Hilborn of Vancouver, Ruth Harder, Pauline Murray, Anne Anatooshkin, Sue Griffith, Robbie Minion, WITH KATE ANDRADE After last weekend, I'm convinced tliat every Canadian woman should go on a camping trip at least once a year! And if you think I say that because it's an "enjoyable experience", you're wrong. Unfortunately, I'm not the nature lover or the hardy type who revels in "roughing it" in the great outdoors. But it's a wonderful lesson to those -- like me -- who take com mon luxuries and modern conveniences for granted. Believe me, after just three days of camping, even the most rustic indoor plumbing, lukewarm water, the funniest shaped bathtub, or the saggiest bed looks out of this world. Doctors say the human body is marvellous at adapting it self to different living conditions. Well, mine didn't adapt ~ It only rel)elled. For some reason, tlie experience of sleeping on a hard, cold sleeping bag in a chilly tent filled with mosquitoes didn't nil me with blissful joy. And oddly enough, the opportunity to brush my teeth, wash my face, or do the dishes in a cold river didn't excite me one bit. Call me a softie, an oddball, a coward, or a city girl, but I won't change my mind. I just prefer snuggling up to warm blankets, turning a tap for hot water, using indoor plumbing, and having a closet full of clean clothes, that's all. I'm not discouraging or criticizing those who like camp ing — far from it. Rather, I admire their makeup and ability to make the most of it. But from now on, this gal will let the others do the pioneer ing while she enjoys the ordinary, dull, lifeless existence of appreciating civilization. * * * Personal observations gleaned from the recent Teen Town 55-mile hike to Barkerville. 1. The average woman is undoubtedly more money minded than a man. While selling booklets of poetry it was usually the woman who sweetly refused whereas the man seldom said no. I wonder if most men are really poets at heart, or if the women are just more practical??? 2. Boys will always l)e boys where girls are concerned. . . Although our fathers and grandfathers like to think of them selves as dashing debonalre Don Juans in their day, they would be surprised at the stiff competition offered by some of their teenage sons and grandsons. The trip was not without some humorous and inter osting examples of the way in which the modern male continues to pursue his hobby -- girls. 3. Some person will make a million when he invents a port able electric blanket made especially for camping trips. Besides that, hundi'eds of cold-blooded females (like me) will adore him. • * • Fashions, as with most other things in life, usually go in cycles. And so it is witli batliing suits. . . . For the many "modern" swimmers who aren't aware of the fascinating history behind their swim wear, a group of researchers recently discovered some revealing facts about iMithing suits. —The bikini isn't as modern as most people think. Wall frescoes in the ruins of Pompeii, dating back to 79 A.D.,- show a bathing beauty in an abbreviated two piece swimming costume. --People of the Middle Ages didn't swim and rarely bathed, because they feared it would help to spread the Plague. In stead, they used perfumes to keep themselves "sweet." --People of the early 1800's regarded a dip in the ocean as a health measure. The ladies of that time dove into the surf wearing long flannel cloaks which reached to their heels. —In the mid-19th century, men in striped woollen trou sers, reaching to mid-calf (can't you just imagine your father?) ogled the bathing beauties who were dressed in about 30 pounds of blouse, skirt, pantaloons, and stockings. --In 1920, beach regulations barred suits -- men's or women's — which came lower on the chest than a line with the armpits or more than four inches above the knees. Police sometimes patrolled the beaches carrying yardsticks. --Bikinis were "discovered" in the 1940's, as was the use of a diatomite filter to remove unwanted organisms from water. —And then, of course, in the early 1960's, along came the toplesses, which would complete the cycle started by Adam and Eve.
