"He is the most thoughtless man on earth, He never has bought me any little thing for myself or for the house. He has never paid a bill unless I've re- minded him; never asks if there's anything I'd like to do to break the monotony. If 1 ask him to take me anywhere, he's too tired or has to work -- but, he goes where he wants. We adopted an adorable baby who is now four.

No matter what fortunate arrangements you might have for living alone, you would be depriving your baby of advantages which she -will need increasingly as she grows. ; 4 As she matures she will need both parents, too. Even a father who is seldom home has his value, As she maturcs- he is likely to find her more and more interesting, and he would be unnatural indeed if he=did not arrange to spend more time with her. ? e 8 ££ 0 2 8B pF "BE ores these years, which have sped by, he formed the habit of spending all his leisure time away from: home, He his own business- he finds it necessary, I expect, to assume more responsibilities) but he should have given some thought to the boredom he force- ed upon you, 'From my own mail, 1 have about concluded that more wives suffer from neglect than actual cruelty, repetitious days, with nothing to look forward to, strangles the spirit and stifles the im- agination.

You might remind him that though financial suc- cess is important, no man is proud of a wife who is grow- ing old before her time; that is definitely a reflectigq upon him. # If he remains adamant, then cultivate your old friends again and enjoy wholesome fun with them.

Largest of seals, it can attain a length . of- over twenty feet, "weights several tons, and car- - ries beneath its skin a thick blan- ket of blubber from which valu- able oil is extracted. nH There's good money to be made from hunting ° elephant seals. Bat as Dr. Harrison Matthews, Director of the London Zoo, dis- covered--aflter three years with sealers in the glacier - ridden South Atlanti¢--there are easier ways of makihg a living. A thousand miles east of the Falkland Islands, South Georgia is a mountainous, hundred-mile- long island -buried in everlasting snows and icefields. Its climate is fierce; and when it's not being torn by blizzards: it's blanketed in fog. In his tascinating account of his adventure, "Sea Elephant" Matthews describes how the whaler's red - hot galley-stove was more than worth its weight in_ gold... "We used to get the cabin so hot we could~ hardly breathe when we turned in," he says, "and when we woke at three in the morning, after it had burnt out, we were glad to pull on extra blankets. "Our breath made. icicles and hoar {frost on the deck - beams above our heads." ? To kill their quarry they had to stalk them on foot on the beaches -- a _tricky occupation since elephant Seals: can move fast for short distances, strike like" lighthing and rip" a man open with their tusks. Cutting up the carcasses was by no means a pleasant operation; nor was returning the blubber to the par- ent ship. Once, in a sudden squall, it took them three hours, rowing like galley - slaves, to cover 300 yards in their flat-bot- tamed boat, Ever-present was the- hazard of caving glaciers--thousands of tons of ice cascading into the sea, sweeping giant waves up the beaches. And at some times, tem- - porarily marooned, their supplies ran out and they wére forced fo live on coarse seal meat.

Among other things to look over the Christmas Cards before putting them away. You know it is fool- ish to keep them: but you just' can't throw them out for a little while anyway---not all those gay, cheery cards with - their lovely words of greeting. You feel warm all over, don't you, at the number of friends who remem- ber you. Maybe you feel a little guilty too because a few weeks before Christmas you had been grumbling just a little bit at all the extra fuss and bother. and + wishing it was all over. But of course that was all on the sur- face--deep down in your heart vou knew there is no time quite like Christmas, and you wouldn't . want to change it ever -- now would you? Especially with next Christmas. fifty weeks away! But after Chrisiinas'is a lovely time too, and as you look for- ward to the weeks ahead don't. you feel a lift to 'the spirit . . . remembering anything. can hap- pen in this bright, new year-- it might even be the best year ever, In the-meantime have you any plans for the winter months that will help make it so? 1 know it seems. a long time now until spring, but days speed by--much faster than they used to--and unless you have 'a programme mapped out for yourself, the winter will be gone -before you know it. So how about getting out your patches and making a quilt--or try your skill at some --of -the- new -handicraft that you -|- may have seen in a magazine article, at a friend's house, or at .a sale of arts and crafts. Or you might even invent a brand new type of work yourself. Every- thing that was ever done "was, to start with, somebody's brain- wave. The next one could be your own, A few weeks before Christmas + I was. cempletely fascinated by a display of nylon flowers at a handicraft sale, These were in the form of little nosegays to wear on dresses and coats. They were so light and dainty I came home determined that 1 was go- ing tp find out how fo make ny- lon flowers--never having seen or heard of them before. And here is a.curious thing. You will generally find that if you are really in earnest about what you _ want to know all: roads-lead to Rome, as it were. You eventually come across. the information you seek in the most unexpected 'quarters. Anyway, a day or two: later, quite by 'accident, 1 dis- covered a young girl whom 1 'knew very well had been maging nylon flowers for §éveral months and was quite willing 'to tell me the tricks of the trade. Since then I have been making nylon flow- ers "like'crazy"---for my friends and my cousins; my nieces and in-laws--all have been presented with nylon nosegays for Christ- mas. : ] I myself had a present of an- other type of handicraft--a pic- ture in '"needle-painting." A beautiful little work of art on satin--a reproduction -of Tom «Thomson's "Moving Waters." Ase far as I can gather, the satin is bought . with the picture on it, part of which is already painted but the main. part of the picture has to be filled in with very fine wool work. In this pfétuse" the sky and the river were painted; v he or ~ her beautiful ° work «Cartes vee Pils. Always have this the trees, shrubs and river banks were done in wool-work--in a sort of satin-stitch. The finished picture was strikingly beautiful. Believe me, from now on it will _ be shown to most of the folk who visit our home. . Another' interesting type of handiwork is felt work--especi- ally costume flowers done in felt. Not-quite so new a craft perhaps but quite simple ahd-very effec- tive. And of course there" are - all kinds of rugs that can be made --braided, hooked, woven and crocheted. And of quilts to 'be made there is no limit. We often hear the expression--"there is nothing . new under the sun," Don't yeu bélieve it--not when it comes to handicraft--there is always something new. And do you know what? Taking up a new hobby; learning to do some- thing you have never done be- fore, is one good way to stay young. Speaking of hobbies, the other Gwen, who is still with us, was "in Rochester last week, staying with a friend whose hobby of making pottéry later became a means of livelihood. Her house is like a museum, 1 was told -- plates, dishes, cups and saucers, all of the most beautiful hand- made pottery. Now, due to ill- health, her working days are over, but, since she has been-ag-- expert in ceramics for so long, is eagerly sought after, and occasionally she is talked into selling one of her "Tare pieces," with a special type of glaze; which she perfected, and the secret of which is known only to herself. Snooping On Flies ~~ The living habits of disease- | carrying flies are being charted in Britain with the help of radio- active shots. In the experimental laboratory of the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research types of flies that spoil-food and cause intestinal trouble are bred by the hundreds of thousands. When full-grown, they are giv< en radio-active shots and re- leased. Neighborhood butcher shops, hospitals, schools and fish- mongers have meanwhile been baited with liver and traps After a few days the traps are collected, the flies gassed and re- turned to the laboratory. Geiger counters detect those of the ori- ginal "batch, so that it can be determined whethér and when the flies flew. One fact already established is that blow-flies move over a populous area at a minimum rate of a mile a day, stopping at food establishments, shops, hospitals, - schools . and canteens en route. He was quarreling with his wife, and - not doing any, too well. "You didn't have a rag on your back when 1 married you," he said, hcidly. "No," she tetorted, plenty now."

Fis Fou ros Corin Kept Camera Turning Twenty-Five Years When ~ Buckingham Palace needed a small boy at the Cor- onation festivities of King George V- to-light the official-match to set off the fireworks, the choice fell on' the then Prime Minis- ter's youngest son, a bird-bright child named Anthony Asquith, Today, this same Anthony As- quith movie-maker.in Britain who has battled all the silents to the appropriate that scale British movie to in the new Elizabethan reign was his star-studded Technicolor production of Oscar Wilde's "The Importance of Being Earnest." You can count on one hand the movié directors who have work- ed out a quarter-century _in the studios . . . and survived. Cecil B. de Mille, Alfred Hitchcock . . . and then who? Anthony Asquith enters these distinguished ranks fresh with the laurels he gained by making "The Browning Ver- sion." And the movies steadily revive such former triumphs of his as "Pygmalion," "The Win- slow Boy," "Fanny by Gaslight," and "French Without Tears." An eminent critic once listed Britain's six best movie directors and accidentally omitted Asquith: Then his 'The -Woman in Ques- tion" hit the screen. Jean Kent starred as a woman seen through the eyes of different people, a demonstration of Asquith's vir- ~ tuosity in getting six different performances- out of one actress. In handsome apology, the critic reprinted his list with Asquith's name first! : In the studios, Asquith wears a tough-looking boiler suit, but ,works amid. polite efficiency. With puckish charm, - he allays' bursts of artistic temperament. Most directors yell the tradi- tion: "Camera! Roll 'em!" As- quith merely. calls, , "I'm ready when you are!" Old friends are apt to appear again and: again in his pictures. "Mr. Asquith al- ways tries to find a part for me," says a veteran actresss. He's had her in every film for twenty-five years! i Characteristically, Anthony Asquith was once. hauled into court. for speeding, but could not leave before he had paid the fine in the case ahead of him; a poor man 'charged with not having a dog licence. Such ges- tures have endeared him to the film industry. os No other movie-maker "éver "started with the strange initial disadvantage of having a father -- the famous "wait and see" __ Asquith _--- who had heen eight Brought ° years Prime Minister. up as the youngest child in a household that blended states- manship -and scholarship." Lady ° Oxford and Asquith considered discipline for young Anthony unwise. Politicians sometimes looked up from their anxious deliberations to gaze in horror at. a small boy swinging reck- lessly from the plane tree out- side - the window, . apparently about to break his neck. At the age of six "little Pul- is practically the only |) ~ on the construction of until he won a scholar- fin" danced a Spanish dance with great verve before assembled politicians in the Cabinet rooms . at No. 10. At eleven, with borm self-assurance, he gave a lecture craft. Yet, ship to Oxford, he had rarely. seen a movie. Then they fascl- " nated him so much' that he al- most forgot his exams. ° He: went out to Hollywood, stayed with M Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks at Pickfair, played the piano to Chaplin and danced with Lilian Gish. But back home Anthony Asquith soon found that anyone train- ing in pictures had to be highly adaptable. When a double was needed for the star in a picture about Boadicea, he donned a shaggy blonde wig and skirts, - stepped imperiously into a char- jot 'and careered madly across Salisbury Plain! : Ultimately, he directed - some "of the earliest English films that gained world attention. Once ha even wrote a script with Wia- ston Churchill for a Korda film- lite of King George V. In fact, Anthony Asquith has made more films than he ever remembers. Yet, after twenty-five years Asquith still considers his fu- turd pictures more than those he's completed. He plans to make Britain's first cricketing film, another set im the opera-and-vegetable market locale of Covent Garden, and perhaps a cup final drama about . an ageing football star. But sometimes, when he longs to get away from it all, he sim- ply steps right outside his pro- fessional lifa and thumbs a lift to .Joe's transport 'cafe on the Great North Road. Joe has a wife and three kids, but there's a spare bedroom for Asquith. At 8.30 a.m. Anthony. gets up to deliver the newspapers, the lorryv-drivers their break. fast and help with the washing up.
