My husband's mother is: almost an exact duplicate. Before marriage she accepted me, but on . our very wedding day she chang- od to a vicious animal. She sowed seeds of hate immediately and successfully, "She also is neurotic, and car- ries on until she gets her way. My husband admits she is wrong, but he never took my side, and excused everything with 'She's my mother.' "I had put my heart and soul into my marriage. I worked and prayed hard for it to be a suc- cess, but to no avail. She created such ill will that I lost all res- t for her and alsé for my hus- and I saw him as he: was, a spineless jellyfish. She kept us at each others' throats when 1 was pregnant, and she, too, told: me her son was too good for me, Her attacks gnawed. They left Four Snappy-Sews! | FOUR gay aprons in this one pattern!

I-broke with her before we were mar- ried two years"1 have never re- gretted the step. "Soorl 'we will have been mar- ried tive years. The nightmare is slowly fading. My faith has been restored, and since I no longer hear her ugly lies and unkind words, I. am growing normal again, "My husband continues to pay his respects to her, but our boy does not know his grandmother. I have borrowed her phrase, 'My son is too good for you.' I never dreamed it would end this way, but she brought it on herself. I am made of flesh, too, and there is a limit to my endurance. She is lucky she was not sued for alienation of affections. "God bless your good work, Anne Hirst, and your patience and understanding of - human spirits.

You made the clean break that took courage and determination, for you - were risking your hus- band's acceptance of it, too, How lucky you are that he understands and approves! It is unfortunate that your little son cannot know his fath- er's mother; children need grandparents--but not those who might exert a tainted influ- ence upon their young minds.

'Shine Up" Children: For ; Safety's Sake It was twilight in Columbils, Ohio. Visibility is always bad for a motorist at twilight, and it was particularly bad on this night, Dr. Warren Wheeler hard- . ly saw the dark-clothed boy be- fore he hit him, Jimmy Jordan was scious for weeks, but he recov- ered, thanks largely to er's seeing to it that the boy had the best medical care. But out of a chance remark the mo- torist made to a reporter at the time of the accident, something even more important than one boy has emerged. . "Why, why couldn't that child have been wearing some kind of clothes or identification that would stand out at night!" he . said. Eventually a campaign got under way to cut the rising toll of children run down by motor- ists: zhecause._ of poor visibility Its purpose is to affix strips of Nite-Ray, like the luminous red stuff one sees on motor-car bumpers, to the outer clothing of all children under 14. The idea is that headlights will readily pick' up the luminous strips -- white in a this case -- the child is 'wear- ~ ing and reduce the toll of traf- fic deaths, The big drive is to continue through the four months of poor- est evening driving visibility A few months after Jimmy Jordan's accident, samples of cloth manufactured by a com- pany which makes "red. 'strips for bumpers arrived in Colum- They had impregnated the same light-re- flecting qualities possessed by the bumper strips. The blind *people at Monnet House, Columbus, eager to help save the lives of children they could never sce, went to work cutting the luminous cloth into strips, and_ fixing the strips in sets of two to pieces of' coloured . cardboard bearing directions for their use and a traffic safety pledge to be. signed. by the reci- fis pient. All of the local newspapei's : carrier" boys are - wearing . the Nite-Ray strips, .- usually. sewn "around the shoulder seams and sleeves of their coats, and other- wise voicing the campaign bat-. tle cry, "Be Safe - Be Seen." One woman made rosettes of " the material and sewed them to the shoulders of her daughter's Another made up floral ear-rings. A third tied her daughter's pigtails with ribbons made of the material. _Iron-on Designs ~~ in 3 colors by Cowra Wiel IRON them right on +- no ems broidery!

The name of Annie's father is "Lord Nelson" and he lives at Maple, Ontario, Annié. has a nice, fluffy white fur coat with a few reddish-brown - patches here and _ there, and she is really very act- ive considering she is only two :- ; days old. 'Actually Annie: wasn't too anxious to enter this. cold, and managed to. © postpone 'her' drrival for two whole days, After that the.forces ° snowy world' of nature were too strong for: her and she finally made her appear- ance, unaided and alone. We thought perhaps.she might bring a brother or sister along with her for company. But no, she came by herself and was quite proud of her achievement. In fgct it wasn't long before she was standing on --} her feet, ambling around her mother, gazing at her somewhat boastfully, saying just as plain as could be, "Hey Ma! I did it!" Boastfulness, however, -soon gave way to the pangs of hunger, as in calf language she said to her mother, "Look, Ma, now I'm here, what's to eat, and where do I get it?" bh Well, that was one incident in 'connection with our. anniversary. The other occurred when Bob and . Joy walked--in with a gorgeous bunch of daffodils, Why is it that spring flowers look so much love- lier in the middle' of winter?" Never have daffodils looked so yellow and cheer ful as the ones "that adorn our--house today. We also had a disappointment. Dee, Art and David were to have come out for the day and then at the last minute they had to cancel their plans, so as a sort of con- 'golation prize we got. a lovely. card and a picture of our grand- son. Apparently the young tinker is growing out.of all recognition 80 we are getting quite impatient to see him, We are still not very happy about the weather, not knowing quite what to expect from day to day. Big trucks and little trucks have been getting through the lane but when I tried to get out with the car, oh, that was quite i I got about a quayter of the way out and there I sat, wheels digging and spin- ning like fury. Presently Partner came to the rescue, thought if he dug here and dug there I could get out all right. But all the dig- ging 1 would let him do was to . dig a path for me back to the \ garage. And théra the car will stay until I can get out in com' fort. I am getting lots of exercise as a result. Down to the mail-box: with letters to post, Down again to get the day's mail.

The was a time when we would have thought nothing of it--mft not now, Come to think of it, time is very considerate and suits our needs to our years, Out west, when we were first married, we used to get our mall once a 'week, ' and then only if we drove nine 3 miles across the open prairie to wet It.

An ordinary rubber sponge, such as can be bought at any ten- cent store, the tight sort that has a good resistance, is excellent for keeping the suede shoes clean. It will remove all the dust and as so many of the very stiff brushes are inclined to do, Q. What can I use as a sub- stitute for olive oil? Ai: When your supply of olive oil i§ running low, when making salad dressing, melt butter and add it to the oil. It makes a gdod substitute, Q. How can I prepare some- thing different in the way of dessert? : A; Try a combination chocolate ice cream and orange sherbet. It makes a very colorful dessert; and a delicious one. Q. How can I make an at- tractive garnish with cranberry jelly? A. Slice and cut into fancy shapes with cookie cutter or a knife, and you will have an unusual and attrac: tive garnish for salads and des- serts. : Q.) How can I relieve a head- ache? . A. A home remedy that often brings relief is to place a pinch of salt-on the tongue 'and allow it to dissolve. In about ten min- utes, take a drink of cold water. | Q. How cab" I avoid the un- pleasant smoke that sometimes . arises when cooking hotcakes? A. By tying some salt in a bag and rubbing the griddle with this instead' of' greasing it. It is quite satisfactory. = Q. How can 1 prevent era ks in the enamel of 'a stove? A. Never try to wipe off the enamelled range with a wet cloth while it is still hot.

Her Knees Creak, So She Stays Single You must possess many friends who, although in their late twenties, thirties or even forties; 'havent: married. Do you assume, in the case of a man, that he's been turned down; -and in the case of a woman that' she hasn't been asked? ; If s0, you might be doing them an injustice: Some folk remain single because their standards are high. What about Yvonne de Carlo?, No .one could be more glamorous, so why is sha still a bachelor girl? Because her ideal man must have the voice of Laurence Olivier, the looks of ° _ Robert Taylor, the humour of Aly Khan and the physique of 'Rock Hudson! Another attractive cavacHiad. actress, Dora Bryan, who joined .the "Much Binding" programme! with Richard Murdoch and Ken- neth Horne, and is now in the revue "At The Lyric," declared, "I'm too busy, and I don't want to marry anyone in show busi- ness." :And then Dora changed her mind -- for it was recently. announced that she is to marry her boyhood friend Bill Lawton, the Lancashire' League profes- sional cricketer, Gloria Nord, who. starred in- the ice show. "Chu Chin Chow" "at 'the Empire Pool, Wembley, holds a somewhat similar point of view, She likes skating too much and feels it's impossible to pursue a career and run a home at the same time, Then * there's Sophie, said to be: the only woman: dress de- signer in Egypt. She has just held her first showing of clothes made from Egyptian textiles. Twenty-seven years old 'and - very pleasing in appearance, she. says her career means that she will probably never. marry.
