week! And so it went!

Now, there was Helen Smallman - Helen took to millinery as a duck to water, and at the last count, had produced 15 originals.

Vera Smallman was very thorough in everything she did, and she was able to get from table to table to get ideas from each aspirant. Not sure, think 2 was Vera’s quota.

Now Audrey Weeks started out with a purpose - to make a Mauve Tartan hat to match her new suit. It took all of Audrey’s patience, coupled with your guidance, to complete this project - tres, trés, chique, Audrey!

Mrs. Oscar Gallant had some previous experience in millinery and came to the group with the intention of trying to 'make-do' - could there be a wee drop of Scotch blood in your ancestry, Helen? Nice work!

I am sure that Helen MacDonald must have presented quite a challenge with her polka dots - ‘line them up’ - 'get them straight’ - 'watch that cast, I don’t want to trip over it!’ Finally, it was complete.

Margaret Barbour wound up with 2 creations. It took patience on her part and patience on the part of the instructress - Fold here! Pleat there! Put your pins in first! etc., and so it went!

Laura Rayner tried, Lord only knows she tried, but neither she nor you could get the posies to match the cloth. Mother nature came to Laura's rescue, so we will never know how beautiful that hat might have been. One and all wish [aura a speedy recovery.

Mrs. James Gard came from the Mill River to try her hand at millinery, and so apt was she at cutting on the bias, pleating, pin- ning, etc., that you did not have too much difficulty there. Her cre- ations were A-One.

Olga Gard came to the school full of enthusiasm, and from what we can learn, she left full of the same enthusiasm - so much so, that she completed at least 3 originals, and had enough for some unmen- tionables.

Floy Maclsaac came in and really proved her ability - her silver and black original was a real gem. Have you seen it? Floy really draws raves with this one and her later creations.

Claretta Maclsaac had one ambition, and that was to l’Create an Original” for Easter. Did anyone see the result of her labors?

Now, Joyce Harris, one of our busiest mothers, designed the per- fect turban-she draped it, she tucked it, and was told on the final analysis that she had her pleats backwards. How many of your friends noticed, Joyce?

Marie Phillips started with a Silk and Silver. How did it go, Marie,
