HOME BEAUTIFUL

SOME HINTS ON TASTEFUL DECORATION

CURTAIN HANGERS

Who is not proud of a beauti- ful home, and how often do we see a house-wife, slaving herself in order to make her home the envy of her neighbours and her friends?

We want our homes to be taste- fully decorated; we spend a large sum of money on our furnitures. above all, on our curtains. The our carpets, our linens, and, last named is a necessity and in most homes we find expensive curtains. Yet, with all the care and money spent on a home, we still find that there is something lacking; something not in har- The story itself is said to con- mony.

PRINCE'S TRIBUTE

HIGH PRAISE FOR BRITAIN'S "MERCHANT NAVY"

SPECIAL WAR WORK

London, Yesterday. The Prinec of Wales (who is Master of the Merchant Navy and Fishing Fleets) in the foreword to the third and final volume of Sir. Archibald Hurd's work "The Mer- chant Navy" also recalls that in first stage of the War the British Beaman recognised that nothing more was being asked of him than to accept the usual hazards of naval conflict. With the arrival ou the scene of the submarine and the indiscriminate use of the mine the whole position for the merchant seaman' was changed. He found himself faced by hazards. and perils as he had never before ex- perienced or indeed had ever con- ceived as possible. With the in- tensification of the enemy's cam- paign the British sailor saw-him- self directly involved in the whole frightful mechanism of the War, whose grim operation reached its climax in the phase of unrestricted submarine attack.

Special mention is made of the suxiliary patrol which in its-com- plete development was manned by nearly 50,000 officers and men.

Watching and Hunting Describing it as une of the most striking and certainly one of the most successful of the many pieces of war time improvisation, which history will place to the

credit of the British nation, the Prince observed: "Here was indeed medley of sal! vessels, trawlers fresh from our fishing grounds, drifters, whalers, paddle steamers, 80. familiar to channel excursionists, yachts, motor launches and motor boats,

"Their hazardous duties were as varied as their types. In their long hours of patrol, they watch- ed the foe and hanted German sub- marines, searched for and, drag- ged mines, fought hostile, aircraft, controlled and examined millions of tons of shipping navigating the narrow geas, and in many other ways aplendidly seconded efforts of the Grand Fleet. Vari- ed indeed these craft were in type, but the crews were animated by one heart and one spirit."British Wireless Service,

Try the "Zimbo" extending curtain rail for one of your win- dows. It does not matter whether it is a casement, bay, or just an ordinary square window, "Zimbo" is bound to fit in and beautify your home.

For a fashionable valance and curtains,Į just use a "Zimbo" double rail. You will be delighted with the re- sult, and at once equip all the re-i maining window in your home with "Zimbo."

There is a "Zimbo" to meet every window requirement, and all the stores in the Colony, sell them. "Zimbo" window rail is light, rigid, and inexpensive, and looks particularly attractive in its satin gold finish.
