Mrs Grace Gemmell intro­ duced guest speaker for the evening Mrs Margaret Smith, who is well-known in the area as the producer of mystery plays at Whal- lcy Abbey and many other productions involving young people. Her talk was most fascinating regarding the evolution in fashion from 1300 to the present day. This was illustrated by meticulously designed large displays of the costumes. Members heard that dur­ ing the one era when high wigs were fashionable, they served as a home for mice and cockroaches. Besides describing the fashions dis­ played Mrs Smith explained the history of the materials used during each

era. Members heard how the popularity of the June


bride came into being. Once a year on the last day of May the whole population would partake of an annual bath thereby ensuring that a June bride would be cleaner than in any other


month. An enthusiastic thank-


you was given by Mrs Ruth


Mansley. Members were reminded
