Jide Sard B40 hi ENE RELL SOREN 35 Sis SEAT A | ie PAA) i [ ANNE HIRST #Dear Anne Hirst: I am near- ly frantic' because I am afraid our marriage is falling apart. I'm only 16, 'and two years ago married a widower, 22, who had a child of three whom I love so much. Now we have a young baby. . . . much I have to do, but if my husband=would appreciate it a little I wouldn't mind at all. Before he went into service he used to criticize me and fuss about many things, and now that he is home he is worse than ever. Nothing I do pleases him, and he hurts me so that some days I. think he really hates me, He is forever compar- ing me with his first wife, who seems to have been a wonder- ful girl, but I could be a better wife than I am if he'd give me half a chance. ' "Another thing: He spends more than I think he should on his clothes and buys only the best; but he gives, me very little money at a time and I cannot afford anything but cheap dresses or coats, which you - know cost more in the long run. He never agrees with the way I spend what little I get. . " "I do love him dearly, and 1 - want our marriage to be a fine one on account of the children, too. I pray you to help me.

"But Mr. Olefson;" protested the butcher, "you've got nine children. What are you going to do with the tiny scrap of meat I can give you for a dime?" "This ain't for eating purposes," explained: Mr. Olef- son. "I just like to have the -smell in the house when company comes."

A Lon- don: shopkeeper requested .the public "not to confound this, shop with that of another swindler, who has established himself on" the other side of the street." Citizens with "wants" write some of the queerest things when let loose in the small-ad col- umns of the newspapers. 'Wan- ted a good girl to cook, who will make a good roast or broil, or will stew well." wrote one. "Two girls want washing," an- nounced anather. An issue sof "The Jingo lowing advertisement: "Pianoforte, Cot- tage, 7 Octaves, the property of a Lady leaving England in re- markably elegant walnut case on carved supports. The tone is superb "and eminently adapted for anyone requiring a first- class instrument." A ranch owner said 'he was looking for "a boss hand over 5,000 sheep that can speak Span- ish fluently." In a "For Sale" ¢olumn of a boys' magazine the proud father of a lad who had made a violi without assistance said that h had "made _it.out of his own head and has enough wood left over for another." - Doubtful descriptions in _ad- vertisements include: -- .

An advertisement in'a Dublin newspaper announced that a well-known spirit merchant had for sale "a small quantity of the whiskey which was drunk by pie late Majesty, while in Dub- in," !

I was wondering what I was likely to write in my column this week--wonder- ing because of Hurricane Con- nie. But Connie, as you know, wasn't nearly so obstreperous as she might have been, except along the shores of Lake Ontario and 'Lake Erie. We got a' good stiff wind: here-.and plenty of rain but 'it didn't even put the hydro power out of commission. So how we are busy counting our blessings' once again -- and hoping "Diane" will be just as ladylike in her behaviour, if and when she comes this way. These hurricane warnings are really quite disturbing. At, times you don't know whether you should change whatever plans you have made or not. You don't want to, but on the other hand hurricane warnings can hardly be treated lightly. I was chiefly concerned on Saturday about a School Reunion that was taking place in this district. Of course such inclement weather would mean a much smaller attend- "ance -than had been anticipated.' Unfortunately all such reunions are completely at the mercy of the weather. On Saturday - it must have been very disap- pointing for those from distant points who had expected to be present -- and for those who had planned the Centennial pro- gramme. . --T was in Toronto all day Fri- day and I wouldn't have been at all happy had "Connie" kicked over the traces while I was away from home. As it was I had a most interesting after- noon -- at a Tea and W.I. Rug Exhibit sponsored by the Salada Tea Company. There were 69 rugs entered in the competition. Just think of the hours and hours of work -that went Into those -59 rugs . . . and of the fun, chatter and laughter that. would emerge from 59 groups of women gathered together on this worthwhile project! There were rugs there from right across Ontario -- from Went- worth area, London, Ottawa and "points in between, right through to Fort William. I looked them over casually at first, then more carefully, trying to decide which two in my humble opinion were the best rugs -- in craftsman- ship and design. To my surprise I picked the two rugs that were later announced as the winners. The first prize rug was made by the Winona W.I; second prize, Varency W-I1. -- both these branches are from the Hamil ton Area. First prize rug was circular, about forty inches in diameter, featuring a large twelve-pointed star and between each point of the star. the rep- resentative flower of each pro- vince, To equalize twelve points among the ten provinces two points each were given to On- tario- and Quebec as being the largest provinces. The second prize-winning rug featured the Lion and: the Uni- corn with the Maple Leaf and the Fleur de Lis between them. A very striking and unique de- sign. Both pugs showed excel- lent workmanship, as did most of the others. Bi As usually happens my visit. to Toronto was a combination of business and pleasure. But I firrd it increasingly difficult to get very much business done in one day. Trains on slow time and offices and stores on fast time makes a very short day. True, the returning train is an oh | ISSUE 36 -- 1055 to see our grandson . hour later at night but by that time offices are closed so the extra time is. just wasted, At least, insofar as business is con- cerned. Actually my time in town is never wasted now be- cause 1 generally take a run out : . and his parents, of course. They. had. just returned after spending a week at Midland. From all ac, counts there was quite 'a set-to" every time Dave and Honey 'were brought away from: the water, Yes, Honey: went on holi- 'day too, and 'being a bird dog - she had the greatest time chas- ing the sea-gulls! David's in-" terest was divided between the lake and the ponies. One time Dee hired a saddle horse for herself and a pony for Dave Art walked along leading the pony for Dave, who lost in- terest in his own ride when he saw Mummy on a horse. Well, we" have just received a- disturbing piece of informa- tion -- which we hope is not correct. Those who read this column will 'remember that a little over two months ago Part- : ner sold all his milking cows. They were shipped out to a buyer in' the Cochrane district. This morning we heard that the. "very district to which our cows were taken has been' devastated by forest fires. Unless the cows were turned loose there is every possibility they lost their lives in the fire. Our poor cows and heifers that Partner had raised himself! We hate to think of them -- trapped and frightened by flames." And of course there is the-loss to the farmer himself, but at least he would have more chance to escape. : +3 The cows were sold -- and we have the money. But money isn't everything. Had we known. the fate that awaited them they would still have been here -- or sold to another buyer. 1 . THE MIGHTY SEA The sea lies all about us. The commerce of all lands must cross it. The very winds that move over the.lands have been cradled on its broad expanse and seek ever to return to it. The continents themselves "dis- solve and .pass to the. sea, in grain after grain of eroded land . . . In its mysterious past it encompasses all the dim origins of life and. receives in the end, after, it may be, many trans- mutations, the dead husks of that same life.
