It is announced the Duke of Edinburgh is the "first gentleman of the British realm" when he is out with his wife, Queen Eliz- abeth. When she is not present the Dukes of Gloucester and VVind- sor, brothers of King George VI. take precedence. Buckingham Pal- ace explained the ranking.

J;

Last week I told you about the Canada standard label (C. s.) on clothing and textiles. Today I want to talk about standardisa- tion of sizes for children's and women's clothes.

Nowadays a woman never knows exactly what size she wears. In one brand of dress she wears size 16; in another, more liberally out. she wears size 14. This is not only unsatisfactory, it is annoying and confusing.

The United states government tackled this problem and as far back as 1937, decided that misfit clothing was costing the consumer and trade much trouble and mil- lions of dollars annually. They set up the first scientific study of body 7 measurements of American women ' and 59 measurements of 15,000 i
