Or standing at high noon admittedly only twice a year, on the spring and fall equi noxes — and casting no sha dow while the sun is pre cisely overhead. Long ago, Ecuador realized it could cash in on its geo graphy, and placed a monu ment on the equator to attract tourists. A bigger monument went up five years ago, and more than 120,000 people visit each year, contributing millions of dollars to the debt-strapped country Restaurants on the zero. degree latitude are named Middle of the World, and stalls sell “diplomas” certi fying that the bearer “set his feet on the maximum line of zero latitude of the planet Earth.” The equator goes through many other countries — Colombia and Brazil in Latin America; Gabon, Zaire, Uganda and Kenya in Africa; Indonesia in Asja.

Many visitors, associating the equator with dense trop ical jungle, are surprised to find the monument in a valley surrounded by desert moun. tains. At analtitude of nearly 2,500 metres, the valley is often shrouded in mist, and nights are chilly. The approach to the monu ment is a concrete prom enade lined with 14 busts of explorers and topped by a large metal globe. In fact, satellite observa tion has established that the equatorial line passes some 15 metres north of the monu. ment, the national observa tory says. INDIANS KNEW Long before Europeans landed in Ecuador — even before the Inca conquest — the Quitu Indians, whose descendants now sell colorful ponchos to tourists, knew about the dividing line. Centuries ago, they mea: sured time by the angle of sun and studied stars in the northern and southern hemi- spheres. They probably knew the earth was spherical long before Columbus.

So John Perks feels well qualififed to teach others how to be a professional butler or nanny, capable of managing a household with traditional flair but minus the “Victorian mishmash.” Perks, a native of Kent, Eng., has been in domestic service since. he finished school at age 14 and went to work as a footman. Over the years he worked his way up to the job of butler, a position he held for 15 years at homes in Europe and North Ameri. ca. Perks, 54, moved to Hali fax from Boston last October and set up the Atlantic Academy of Household Man agement. He chose Halifax partly because he enjoys living nearly the sea and partly because he likes the city’s sedateness and links with its Victorian past. “For this business, Halifax has a very good image,” Perks said in an interview. “You say that Halifax is where you train governesses and butlers and it gives a substantial feeling.” “Toronto or Ottawa would be all right, but aren't as traditional,” From the moment the door swings open to an office tastifully decorated with Victorian-era mahogany furniture, Perks embodies the classical servant. His greeting exudes a little warmth and a lot of effi ciency. His suit and manner command the deseription: well appointed. Although demand has de clined for traditional ser. vants, like a butler wearing white gloves and tailed coat, Perks said people still hire domestic help — especially professional couples with small children. “It's important to know the background of the trade but all the Victorian mishmash is obselete.” He remembers from his own youth when the butler in charge of the house would occasionally beat his sub- ordinates with a cane and ex. pected them to use their days off to attend church. “That sort of thing doesn't exist any more, except in remote regions of England perhaps.” The academy's first classes for butlers and nannies starts Feb. 22. Each lasts four months with tuition of $2,600. Perks said there's room in each course for six butlers and 10 nannies. More than half the positions for the first courses have been filled. He foresees no problem for graduates to find work. “For every nanny we train there are six to 10° jobs waiting all over North America. A couple of weeks ago I got a call from Carmel, Calif., — two were needed right away.” There's less demand for butlers but Perks said there'll be jobs for the 15 he expects to train each year. Training for butlers in cludes how to manage house- hold expenses, etiquette, care for clothing and shoes, first aid, driving, selecting wines and liquor and sending or receiving invitations. There are basics like how to unplug a toilet, or “what you say when the mistress of the house says one thing and the master says. another.” Training for nannies is similar but includes profes- sional instruction in child de- velopment techniques. Fashions return to ‘50s KITCHENER, Ont. (CP) — Believe it or not, spring fash ions will be a return to the 1950s, says Canadian de- signer Tom D'Auria. It's the Grace Kelly look all over againy-from the sleek hairstyle to the boat-necked shirtwaist dress to the flared skirt and the demure smock. It meané an alternative to mini-skirt ‘ di cation of pretty, fashions that are definitely wearable. The new season of style is well-prescribed in D’Aura's collection. In his words, it also is an “open season” — dedicated equally to those women who sometimes enjoy girlish dressing and to those who want to look more lady- long-legged women will like D'Auria’s perky gingham dresses with the short, full skirts, nipped waists, trim trim, ST.

Then there are the women who will enjoy the feminine swirl of D'Auria’s dresses with wrap ped bodices, bowed backs and low-cut decolletage. The dresses, the designer says, are all “open to inter- pretation.” Some may be worn with white socks and Maryjanes, others with sheer. stockings and low-heeled pumps. For those women who want sophistication, there are tea dresses — modern tea dresses, designed for the woman who no doubt works more than she drinks tea, but who nevertheless desires the soft elegance such dressing denotes. This look is achieved by using skillfully draped prints to achieve a look that is structured, yet untailored. D’Auria’s 1950s look is not the '50s of rock‘n’roll, but the style of ‘50s classic in which wide boat necks and tent-like toppers all played their part. Explaining the open season spring fashions, D'Auria’'s acknowledges short skirts, but accents them with knife pleats and frill cuffs. A slim skirt with a gored hem pro- vides a certain panache, while circular hems caught and turned under, form a sort of moderated puff. Another D'Auria variation of skirt shapes is the lantern skirt, wide through the hips and narrowing at the knees.
