And he drinks. e squanders his money, is in debt, and hasn't bought me a single thing since we married. He is abusive, and suspicious.

Should your husband refuse to pay hospital bills, your father can handle him, legally if neces- sary; a man of your husband's nature will usually squirm be- fore the law, knowing he is licked before he starts. You want your baby. Keep that wonderful day before you when you will hold him in your arms, and you will know that all you have suffered has been worth while. Refuse to concern yourself about your economic, or emotional future; as. the time draws near, you will find it easier to relax and to hope, and that is your first need. -You still love your husband, with that unreasoning love that some whole-souled women can contain, Whether you will re- turn to him, lies in the lap of the gods.

When news reached the Queen's ears that jokes were be- ing made about 'Mrs, Brown," she characteristically gave him greater authority. : Lesser .mortals gazed in aston- ishment. During a royal visit to the Duke of Richmond the Queen's luggage, including her 'nightclothes, went astray and the Queen refused to undress.

"What .are ye doing with- that black dress on again?" he de- manded on another - occasion, "It's green-moulded!"

Just what was behind the mystery. that surrounded the widowed Queen and her strange Highland retainer? A scurrilous pamphlet on the Queen, entitled "Mrs, John Brown," lent cre- dence to the baseless story that they were secretly married. "What else, peoplé argued, could explain the position of a manservant - so privileged that _]- he could give the Queen orders, a Court favourite who could treat statesmen and generals with insolence, As a gillie Brown had led the Queen's party to mountain-side . picnics, putting nips of whisky "in the royal tea and at one time "actually carrying the Queen ac- ross the rushing waters of a burn. ; By the Prince Consort's order Brown was soon appointed to attend the Queen's carriage at all 'times.

"One report on what a ypical food shopper looks for was givea 'in Chicago recently at the Na- tional Packaging Exposition. And the report came up with some , interesting facts. For example, this typical shop- 'per -- the lady who pushes Jua- ior around the local supermar- - ket in a tote cart -- likes her crackers and -cookies 'in inner- sealed packs. The reason 'given was that these packs keep the contents fresh and crisp. ; She also likes her fresh meats, fruits. and vegetakles neatly pre- packaged so she can pick thems up quickly and speed 'up her shopping, She likes to see the bread she buys. And, what's more, when the store manager isn't looking she even squeezes the loaf to sea it it's fresh! In general, the factors she looks for are visibility, such as provided by packages wrapped in "cellulose film, convenience, 'freshness, variety and economy. And here are some of the rea- sons why she turns down some items in favor of others: "Can't see 'what's in the package" -- "quantity is too large" -- "not "number of servings not men- tioned" --- 'no recipes" --- and: Today's shopper has a lot of home and social duties to fit in- to her busy day.
