One of the
party games I en-,
BEY joy most is that of
relating emb:
rassing moments, -

found a waggish husband ask-
ing how to spell her name as
they signed in at the honey-
moon hotel, or the man who
pinches the bottom of the
wrong woman,

Being of an outgoing and
somewhat impetuous nature
myself, the embarrassing mo-
ment has lurked around the
corner most of my life,

They say that pride goeth
before a fall and in my show-off.
days, there were many of
them—Irom the time I nursed a
weed along for four months and
entered it in the school horticul-
tural contest, to the time I
swam clear out of a newly-
knitted swim suit at the school
swim meet.

In 1946, when sailing to

Canada ina troop ship, my big
moment was entering the din-

ing room and seating myself at
the Captain's table. Came the
day of the storm when.I sat
down in a chair that had slid
away from me.

‘The two times I took part
in a protest march were dis-

asters, One was the occasion of ~

Kosikan’s visit to British Col-
umbla, when 9,000 ‘citizens
pickeled his hotel’ protesting
the persecution of Christians
and Jews in the U.S.S.R.

As-we assembled for. the
march, we were ordered to
hoist placards. ‘Two blocks
later, a friendly fellow picketer
rescued my wig from a.corner
of my placard, When I foined
the B.C, miners’ protesting
some harsh legislature, I dis-
covered that,my wooden pla-
card should have been  card-
board,

Our tives are fll of Tittle
moments that would em!

us if we were cost at it; like
talking into the wrong end of a
telephone, forgetting your best
friend's name when you want to
introduce. her or. discovering

“that you forgot to turn the heat
on under the vegetables after
you had announced the time
dinner would be served.

Have you ever gotten to
the office to have someone
point out that your sweater or
blouse was put‘on inside out?

Did you ever put a match in -

your mouth and try to light it
with a elgarette? Did you ever
comment upon Evelyn. Waugh
as a great female writer?
Then there was that em-
barrassing moment at the cock-
tail party’ while I half listened
lo a woman prattling about
some of the well-known people
she had -met. Having agreed
with her comments for the sake
of appearing tobe lstening, the

barracuda sald: “Oh, have you .

met her?"

To my regret, I replied:
“Yes, I'm Patricia Young!" To
this day, T don't know which of
us was more embarrassed!

For the most. part, the
development. of ‘a sense of
humor lessens our’ embarrass:
ing moments” ~

Is no exception... the British
Columbla Forest’ Service re-

minds you it’a against the law |

to ‘cut and ‘move ‘balsam ‘fir

take a dim view on the cutting

spectes from one part of the
province to another.

There's a good reason. The
ban on cutting balsam fir as
Christmas trees involves a
voracious ‘insect . called tho
