But the wedge shape has not been manufactured in Canada for about 80 years, according to Paris, because of the expense involved in making such a shape. Many of us are consequently more familiar I i with the rectangular-shaped coffin. Paris' special collection of over 30 coffins serves a dual purpose. « They are on display for students to look at, and are used as teaching aids. Paris added that many coffins were custom-made in the 'old days', and that the familiar jokes about the Funeral Director or Undertaker with the tape measure "are true!" Joking aside, however, Paris is obviously proud of his unique collection, which includes one of the most intriguing coffins one can ever hope to see.

Heads up! SAC is playing K. A.O.S. , and they got our picture! Gadzooks, they've even called our "journalistic integrity" into question. And a SAC rep has specifically fingered this space as a purveyor of "d^rogratory (sac) drivel." Neat word, drivel. A moist word, one might say. Drivel, Random House drools ickily, is "saliva flowing from the mouth or mucus from the nose." So who's not playing fair?

There is a piano downstairs between the fireplace and brass coatrack. It's the embodiment of the 'live' weekend entertainment. Reinforcing this livingroom away from home ambience is rich- colored carpeting, overhead fans and swag lamps, and numerous phones (free) around the stand-up bar. In the best of British pub tradition, Madison's is open 365 days a year, and boasts league darts. The place is split into three sections; the smaller upstairs pub (with full bar), the larger, more decorative downstairs pub (also with full bar), and an outdoor summer patio on two levels, accessi- ble from both the upstairs and downstairs. The tables outside on the wooden deck are high and covered by Dubonnet umbrellas (shh! that's illegal, remember?).

Madison's has about 1 5 beers on draught at any given time, both domestic and imported. The former is $2.95 a pint, the latter $3.90 a pint. Also submitted for your approval are nine cheesecake flavors. The food is good and cheap, with prices varying at different times of the day. A great bargain is the 98 cent chilli, available weekdays (except Tuesdays) from 3p.m. to7p.m. The regular menu and daily specials are listed on blackboards. Especially tasty at lunchtime are the mussells and salads (under four dollars). There's a brunch menu on weekends, and food is served in all sections of the bar. The servers wear white shirts and black ties, are friendly and prompt, and seldom too busy to cheerfully recite the numerous beers on tap.
