Seven years ago, when 1 was 16, I married a man 11 years older -- perhaps that isthe root of our trouble. Now we have two fine children, but we never get along well, "If a child 16.can love, I really loved him. But _he drinks heav- ily, and then he abuses me, be- slides using money we need for bills and medicines. He is turn- ing iy older child against me, but I am sure as the boy grows up he will see the truth ... My husband has never liked my fam- Ei te As you know, 1 do not sug-- gest divorce unless everything else has failed." Your marriage could still become a good mar- riage, if your husband did his part. He must realize that he is failing in that job. To attack a faithful wife who is doing the best she can, is monstrous; to spread shameful tales about her integrity is the act of a cad; 'to squandey money on drink when his family needs it is utterly selfish. And to turn a little son against his mother shows that he knows -he is the guilty one and is too cowardly, or vain, to admit it. Your - husband's. first step should be to acknowledge his own faults; his next is to ask you to forgive him, and help 'him correct them. If he would try, you would call on all your patience and faith to strength- en him I am sure. Let him know it--but let him know, too, that you cannot afford to wreck your health, nor. see your children grow up under the influence of a father such as he has been, If he cares for them as he claims, hé should he makes it obvious they are not welcome here. Yet I have always entertained his friends at dinner and often for weekends, and some of them are- a questionable lot, too. "Now he is in the Army, and on leaves he is worse than ever, He. accused me of dating other men--when I go nowhere but to movies now and then with my brother and his wife, though my husband will not go along. Once I left him. He gave me all kinds of big promises, so I came back. Now I am under the doctor's- care. oe __ "I would leave him, but the | __ children do love him -- though wouldn't they be better off never to find out what sort of father they have? Please tell me what to do, and I will ask him to read your opinion, The time to reform is today --not next month or next year. If he laughs off your threat to leave, you will have to make the threat good. * Meantime, don't submit to his cruelties. If he strikes you again, call the police. Our laws are for the protection of all citizens, and your husband 'MRS. R. T. handle him. If your husband, after read- ing this, has anything to say in his defense, I shall be glad to have his letter. Honest confession clears the soul--and is often the first step toward reform. If a husband or wife will confess faults humbly, the first move toward a more harmonious life has been taken .» Anne Hirst is here to help you toward that.

Partner would say--""What's the matter with your pies lately-- they are not a bit like the ones "you used to make?" And Bob .would add fuel to the fire by saying "Mrs. make a wonderful pie!" It was really quite a mystery as I had. always -rather prided myself on pastry. What had gone wrong? I did not know. Could it be the flour, or the shortening .--~ . was my oven too hot or too cool? I | bought different flour, tried various brands of lard and veg- etable shortening, experimented with the oven, but the result was still the same--tough, hard gave up the struggle and fell back on bakeshop pies. Then there were more complaints, "What are you buying pies for | all the time?" *Well," I would answer, "if you are going to grumble you might as well grum- ble at bakeshop pies as mine." ~ But just recently, with more time at my disposal, I started ex- perimenting again. I bought still another kind of shortening and followed the recipe on the pack- age which says to take out % cup of flour and mix with % cup of water and then sprinkle over the remainder of the flour and shortening. That method was en- tirely new to , and so help 'me, it worked¥"The puzzle of the pies is now 'past. My reputation is restored and my family once more enjoys pies like mother used to make, Why do I tell you all this? Be- cause I have discovered that I am not the only one who has experienced piecrust failure -- even the best of cooks admit it. Some say it is the flour, others the shortening. Whatever the reason they find that the method that had been .successful . for years is now a. failure. And the bakeshops dre'having a field day. . I have told you how I solved my problem but it may not work for you. Pastry has tempera- mental qualities which must be co-ordinated with the. art of the maker. So, if you are having trouble, find out--if you can-- the flour, the shortening and the Jnethod best suited to. your own personal needs. But remember, good pies bring about one defin- ite result -- the better the pies the faster they disappeay. So be | prepared. : - Well, baking pies Hay a a major problem but to follow their history down through the ages is rather interesting. Back in the days when butter-making was in vogue some cooks had a preference for buttermilk pastry, using buttermilk instead of water, with the addition of a little baking-soda, Another method was to use equal quantities of home-rendered lard and dairy butter. Over in England my mother-in-law insisted that she could not make good pastry un- less she used all butter, and it: had to be the best Danish cook- ing butter, which, in those days came in huge slabs and was sold over the counter in bulk. My own mother thoughf™all butter was too extravagant. She gen- erally used one-third butter and two-thirds clarified beef dripping. Anything but margarine! Hh Sometimes a pastry recipe is a closely guarded secret! When we first came to this district one "her. She always made her pastry - in this country®-Georgetown. It * knew there was an exhibit of an- "places. This was an exhibit that < were unguarded and within easy "country people regard their " friends. and neighbours. Blank can sure | "ISSUE 43 -- 1058 of our neighbours, long since passed away, made the best pies 1 ever tasted, but no amount of hinfing or complimentary re- marks would induce her to di- vulge her pastry-making method. It was a secret that died with when she was alone 8o-that even her own daughter didn't quite know how mother made her pies.

There were articles that had been prize-winning en- tries in the Industrial Exhibition of Toronto in 1888. Among them was a handsome shirt - blouse, fastened at the back, tiny pin- tucks down the front and stiff starched cuffs. There was also a crazypatch-work quilt exhibit- ed at local fairs in 1878 and 1882, Other items to delight the eye of a collector were a porcelain cheese dish, 150 years old; a pair of lustre vases, two cups and saucers brought from England in the last century; a black silk ums= brella with a four-inch lace fringe bought in Kansas city in 1893; a marvellous mauve silk hat, styled 1870, and the picture of a lady in a dress, the material "for which had been woven and madeup by the wearer 125 years ago. There was plenty of other stuff but I cannot describe it all, And yet all these priceless things reach of the public.
