Stricken "beyond cure, she. lies helpless, bereft of ac- tive living. "Her one 'happiness dies in the belief that her hus- band still loves her. Would you destroy that faith? If you try,'I believe the man, in spite of 'his deceit, would :never look you in-the face again, Perhaps he is not divorcing her Qecause he has no grounds; or beneath his sense of guilt, he has not the heart to deal her such a blow. Why should he? You have been a willing partner in his duplicity. For him, the situation is well in hand. a Many a reader charges me with blaming the other woman in an- affair, and excusing the man; but after all, when a man suggests an illicit alliance, the decision is the woman's. You went into this with your eyes wide open and, loving him, I can understand you be- lieved in his promises of mar- riage. But when three long years have passed with no ac- tion, you should be smart enough - to see where you stand Tell him that you know it now, and you are through waiting. You may find life back home as dull as you expect. But at least 'you will not know the shame of destroying another woman's faith. » v - Ld WHY NOT, PARENTS? "Dear Anne Hirst: 1 will 'soon be 15.

The writer had good reason for asking that question as her family seems to have more than its share of -trouble of various kinds. Long after I had read the letter the query she had raised remained. in my mind and TI wondered how many of us, in - our own -time, have asked the same {hing--and generally in connection with family problems, from which none of us escapes-- sickness, accidents," financial dif- ficulties, or quite often a com- bination of all three, for it. would seem that trouble never comes singly. Often it is one thing after another and we think, even if -we don't say it -- "Why does - everything happen to us?" Isn't that right, friends, haven't you, more than once, had occasion to, ask the very same' thing? ; But supposing Lady Luck has smiled upon us--supposing the things we worried about never happened; the loved one who was ill made a remarkable recovery; the lack of farm Help was sudden- who had worked for us years ago; or housing accomodation was relieved in a miraculous way by an offer to those who shared: our home. An unexpected -legacy- --or perhaps we hit it lucky on a radio programme! Or it could be that some member of out fam- ily< escaped unhurt .in an auto- mobile accident, Now 1 wonder, when good, instead of bad luck, to ourselves--"Why does every- to guess that few of us even think of asking such a question under those conditions. We take it all for .granted and go merrily on our way. Such illogical-uréatures as most of us are! . But then, we are no more in- consistent than the weather. Here we are, after an almost snowless winter--that is, in Ontario's ba- nana belt--ready and anxious to get on with our outdoor 'spring chores, and what sort of weather do we get?

I venture- winds. Too cold and rough to work outside with any degree. of pleasure--or even. inside with- out fires or furnace. In fact we might well say with Samuel Cole- ridge--"The spring comes slowly up this way". Or is it that we "are a little previous in our an- ticipation of its coming? Most of us looked for an early spring, but, as so often happens, our expec- tations fell short. - Yesterday, for a cold, miserable day--not much chance ot visitors, 'we thought, But, by three o'clock we had a party of four, and, while I was getting tea .for them, three more arrived, Today, Monday, we have ex- tra jobs to do. Right now, a man of heifers. Ayrshire cattle grow such wicked horns. You would think, after years of domesticity, cattle would stop growing horns --like the 'Polled Angus. Horns are not only a menace to farmers but also a menace to the cattle themselves. A cow, nearing calv- ing time, can receive injury by a bossy stable-mate, a little too busy with her horns. And what these same horns can do to a fence isn't funny. Sometimes we main tulip beds are larger and _ colors with other lesser colors Ottawa during tulip time can see the Cherry Blossom Festival: in instance--such is at the barn dehorning a couple ' stop the growth of horns when the calves are little and some- times we don't. If we have a run of several bull calves in succes- . gion we have lost the habit by the" time a heifer calf comes along. Another job on hand for today is an electrical check-up. We find "that switch boxes down the barn . gradually "get choked with dusts] 'and chaff, and when this becomes dantp, " through humidity, or by repeated freezing and thawing, a short circuit will sometimes result--so we try to get ahead of the game if 'we can. It is often quite a job to find an electrician who isn't too busy for these small jobs s0 when we do get a man here I generally have a job or: two lined up for him myself. This time it is an outlet in "my little office--at present I have ex- "tension cords trailing across the floor because my room is the back half of what was one big room when the house was wired. I re- -- member when the wiring was done the electrician said--'"Don't ever be afraid of having too many, outlets--and I'll guarantee that 'no matter how many I put in you will still find, as time goes on, that you haven't enough." He was right, there were 45 outlets to. start with--and we are still adding to that number. people do 'little odd electrical i our family no one feels he knows enough about the work to do a safe job. For which I am very thankful. [ would rather we paid to have a job done by ah' expert than have 4#t bungled by an ama- teur.

Durante ap- peared upon the stage with a. mammoth elephant in tow, sup- * posedly stolen from a circus owner who was holding out on Jimmy's back salary. A constable stopped him and demanded, "Where did you get that ele- phant?" Durante, the picture of outraged innocence, answered, "What elephant?" "That was such a wonderful line," recalls Jimmy, "that even the elephant busted "out laughin' a coupla time a "week." ies At one performance the ele- -phant, named Tuffy, forgot that - he had been house-broken. Dur- ante sent the audience into hy- _sterics _by exclaiming, "Hey, "Tuffy, no ad libbing."
