Your careless re- * marks that you did not need * him came like a stab in the * heart; they confused him ut- * terly, made him feel inade- * quate and unwanted. He must * have felt he had received a * mortal wound, and from his * bride of a few weeks. * Time is the only remedy for * the state he is in. It is almost * inconceivable that when his * anger cools and he can ration- * alize things, he will not accept * your explanation. Even the * most arrogant male should * not refuse to listen to a wife * who is sincerely repentent. * If you feel you must keep * in touch, write him a letter * assuring him of your deep * remorse and your humiliation * that you offended him so. Tell * him you realize now how * much you.do need him, and if * he will come home you will * prove it. * The first year of marriage is * said to be the hardest.

"Dear Anne Hirst; I am very unhappy, for I had to lie about my age and said I was two years" older.

"I was over to see his mother, and I guess he was uneasy with me there, for he went out. His mother and I are good friends, but even she doesn't know how old I am. I am afraid to tell him.

Sprite Is in a chamber of Parliament. later on, "engineering What Is Your Pet Superstition ? The bride looked radiant as she relaxed against the cushions of the luxurious hired car which was to take her to the church three miles distant. But sudden- ly she gasped and gripped her father's arm as she noticed the colour of the chauffeur's hair It was a vivid red. "A "red - haired man," she gasped, with terror in® her voice. "Red is my * unluckly colour. Stop the carl We must get another driver" at once." Her father was astounded and annoyed at his daughter's ab- surd prejudice against the driv- er's hair, "Don't be silly, my dear," he told her. "You mustn't let let such a little thing bother you on such an important day in your life. Why it's absolutely a red-letter day," he added, hoping that his little joke would make her smile. "Don't mention red to me," said the -girl hysterically. "I hate itt" . He then saw that she was really alarmed. Swiftly he arrangements with the astonsh- ed driver to get a substitute, tipping him lavishly for his trouble. : With the second driver at the wheel, the bride, still looking very agitated, arrived at the church with her father five minutes late for the ceremony. She has never told her bride- groom the real reason for her unpunctuality. . Incredible as it seems in 1957, there are still plenty of people who have unaccountable aver- sions or fads which come to the fore on important occasions in their lives. : While a Birmingham business girl was on holiday at Black- pool ceme years ago she met the only man she had ever really. "fallen" for--a young student who was also taking a rest by the sea. Within two days he had pro- posed. Then she said: "How silly, Jack, you haven't yet told me your surname." "It's Green," he replied. "Then I can never marry you, although I love you," she sigh- "ed. "You see, green has always been my unlucky colour and it brought bad luck to my par- ents, who went to live in a green-painted house when they were married. It was broken into by a 'burglar later on.- He took 'all their savings which were hidden in a green tin." He pointed out that thousands of people named Green have plenty of luck in their lives.- But the superstitious girl sadly shook her. head. He offered to have his name changed by deed poll to Grey, White, Brown or any other col- our she- preferred if she would alter her mind. She still re- fused to marry him, saying: "Even if you did that, 1 would still have a mother-in-law and father-in-law named Green." And so the pair parted--and the young man vowed he would never marry anyone else. He has kept his vow. Different, but. equally quaint prejudices are other people and sometimes they lead to equally awkward sit- uations. ; In Rome lived a woman who had a peculiar dread of a little statuette of an Egyptian god which her father had given her as a present when they were on holiday together in Cairo. She used to declare that the statuette was evil and would only bring misfortune. Some years later she was found dead on a lonely island in the He- brides. "The two things I hate above all others are getting my hair cut and buying a postal order," a famous politician once de- clared, From his tone there was no doubt about the truth of his statement. It seems that the more civil- ized we become the more we are afflicted with queer kinds of phobias. A man who won a medal for bravery in the war cowered in his chair and perspired wtih terror when she saw a moth flutter its wings against a win- dow-pane. Other pcople have aversions to open spaces, closed doors, lizards, bats, spiders, and the sound of water running through a pipe. : What is the cause of these strange fears? The experts as- sert that they can. be trac.d back to some forgotten incident of childhood. That may be so in some instances, but the ex- planation is by no means all- sufficient. It was the peculiar fad of 'a Londoner some years ago that he would have neither a knock- er nor a bell at his house. «#1 dislike them," was his only ex- planation. When he came home late he would blow three times on a shrill whistle to arouse his housekeeper, He never carried a key, believing that keys were the cause of endless trouble to everyone owning one, harboured by "YOU THERE?"--These fencers in Paris, Fance, seem to be trying to make sure each is there.

Clarke Today, this column might more properly be called "the joys of being a grandmother". Or may- be I should say grandparents as Partner is having his share too in looking after seventeen- months-old Eddie, who is stay- ing with us awaiting the arrival of a baby sister -- we hope! David, when the time comes, will be going to stay with Aunt Joy and Uncle Bob. We were only too willing to have Eddie here but we were also a little apprehensive as he had never been} away from his mother at all, not even for a day, so we wondered how well he would adjust. However he has accepted grandma as a fairly good substi- tute for mother and so far we have managed to get along quite well. He is naturally a happy little fellow, reminding us very much of his mother when she was the same age. Of course the house is already looking a bit of a shambles; small . toys rolling into unex- pected places, waiting to- trip, the unwary. The kitchen floor is somewhat patchy where milk has been spilt and hastily wiped up. There are smears and smud- ges on the picture windows and the television - screen. Door handles are apt to be a trifle sticky, all of which are minor details, easily remedied." Just so long as our little fellow stays well, happy and reasonably good we shall be more than satisfied. ad Saturday was the day he cam to stay but before his arrival Partner and I/managed to get to Milton Fair. It was a perfect day and the attendance "was good. Apparently there were more entries of every kind than ever before and there was some- thing going on all the time, either on the track or in. the judging rings. The Fair was offi- cially opened by Jean Peterson, recently crowned Dairy Queen of Ontario. This capable and attractive young lady was givén a great ovation --- which was only natural as she came from a farm at Hornby, just a few miles from Milton. We were very pleased with the demon- strations and the display of live- stock for, which the 4-H Clubs and the Junior Farmers had been responsible. It is nice to know so many young girls and boys are taking such a keen in- terest in farming activities. We hear and see so much about in- dustrial concerns that at times we almost feel as if agriculture is taking a backseat. But then we go to. the Coliseum, or the Royal Winter Fair, or maybe no more than our own local fairs and we come away reassured that agriculture is still very much alive. Different, certainly, from what it used to be but very much in line with all the + recent advances made in science, industry and commerce. And that, of course, is as-it should be. -Agriculture must keep pace with the times. And yet, for those who have a yen for old- tfme farming, there Ms nothing to stop anyone buying a place in the country and stocking it with a few horses," cows and other livestock, just for the joy of farming can afford it. Farming can be an expensive hobby. A genera= tion ago hobby farmers were --~ that is, if they \ not exactly welcome. Today they are less of a detriment to the country than the owners of th- occupied land who allow weeds to flourish and spread all arqund the neighbourhood.~ * Speaking of weeds, we were up to Ginger Farm earlier in the week. Our previously well- kept farm lane is now. little more than a track through a wilderness of weeds. As for the garden . . . the less said the better. There are tenants in the house - at present but nautrally. they are not doing too much around the place as they never know when the Department of Highways might come along and serve them with a notice to vacate the premises, Work has . already started on an overpass at the C.N.R. tracks just back of our old farm. It will be in- teresting to go back from time to: time to see how the work is progressing. Construction work 'will be easier to look at than a forest of weeds. Well, I thought I was going to get this typing done before young Eddie woke up. But it was not to be. Either he was less tired or 'maybe the tapping of the typewriter woke him. Be that as it may he had to be changed, cuddled, given a drink of milk and then put out in his playpen with his toys and a bunch of clothes' pegs. He didn't think too much of the idea until a little, neighbour girl came across and started playing with him. Now Partner has come to the rescue so 1 imagine this column will finally get done and into. the mail. How do mothers with two or three young chil- dren ever get their work done? It makes me wonder. And yet I did it too years ago -- and farm chores too. Come to think - of it' young mothers acconiplish an awful lot of work in their waking hours and yet they seem to take it all in their stride. And I think most of them are quite thankful if there is a gran- nie or Aunt Mary around -- they' come in pretty useful sometimes! Religion And Auto Driving John 'T. Kenna of Chicago, di- rector of the new church safety activities division of the National Safety Council, said in Portland recently that motorists ought to drive as though "God is in the front seat with you." We have ridden with people who drive that way, only they figure that with God on hand, nothing can happen to them no matter what they do. This, of course, is not what Kenna meant, If one senses the presence of God, his manners and behavior will be different than if God is out.of mind. Manners and behavior behind automabile wheels have a lot to do with whether thousands of people live or die every year. Kenna and his division of the NSC are working on the moral "approach to safety, "We want people to take their religious con- victions, whether they be Catho- lie, Protestant or Jew, and apply them to driving, behavior at work and even walking." They are trying to enlist the religious leadership of the nation ONICLES * in such a crusade, believing that it can cut accidents and deaths as much as one third. "Anything that has to do with human be-" havior isa moral consideration and quite properly belongs to the churches," says Kenna. ' There ought to be a fertile field here, for we have not noticed that persons who have high stan- dards of conduct on most mat- ters apply these standards to automobile driving. Included am- ong those who fail on this score are at least some ministers, who feel that their tight schedules impel them to step on the gas. And there is the lay "pillar" of bout having tried out his new ar on a straight stretch, getting the needle up to 100 miles an hour. 5 S Unfortunate.y, many "solid ci- tizens," including those who are faithful in religious matters, fail to see that religion and morality have anything to do with auto- mobile = driving. But religion ought to have a bearing on every facet of life. It ought to make a difference in how people behave under all circumstances. This should include automobile driv- ing and, as we said before, this can have a lot to do with whether thousands live or die. -- Oregon Journal hz church who + quietly tells SALLY'S SALLIES [PERFUMES Tra Tong Pomme akon be Wold + fn monn "I don't know what my huss' band likes, but I always buy his perfumes."
