EAR EEA ARR 0 Hs or AEs "CANNE HIRST) "Dear Anne Hirst: I am -des- perately in need of advice. 1 have been married seven years and . have three lovely children. But my husband is insanely jealous. "He is jealous of the fact that my sister and 1 are very close; - he resents my talking 80 often on the phone to my mother; he make a scene if I say hello to a former classmate on the street. He has no cause to be jealous; he was my first and only love. I love him so much--but I can- "not convince him of it. "We've had a lot of medical expenses the past few years, and - I've taken a part-time job even- ings to help us get out of debt. In- stead of appreciating this, my husband accuges me of working so I can meet other men! This is ridiculous. After a busy day, * with six rooms to clean and three "children to care for, I'd much rather relax at home with my family than rush out to work, If there are men working in the same department, I cannot help it; I do no more than speak to them. TS bi Always Loyal "I have never cheated on him, even before we were married and he was away in service. His accusations aré driving us apart. Besides, my love for him and my children and my religious faith would never allow me to be even slightly interested in another man. Why can't he see this? "I hope you can help me. I do not want to leave him, but I am miserable and half crazy with his questioning every move I make. I-don't know how much longer I ¢an take it. He claims he loves. me. If he did, wouldn't he believe me and trust me? 1 IRON-ON designs in sunny yellow, bold black and bright red!

It cannot - always. be * permanently cured; but it can' * be modified by a wife's in- * creased attentions, by judicious ¢ flattery, by : consulting her * husband on even trivial de- * cisions, and in other ways * showing him that he reigns * supreme in his home. * A man's suspicions that his ¢ wife could be interested in * other men is perhaps the most ¢ difficult assumption to com- * bat. He does not reason, he ¢ only fears. He believes his wife * "is so attractive that other males ; * cannot help but look at her. * twice and, doubting his abil- ¢ ity to hold her, he insults her * by questioning her loyalty. - ¢ You can help diminish your ¢ husband's suspicions by giving * him all your attention when he' * js home, and by using tact. ¢ Refrain, for instance, from * mentioning that you saw your * sister yesterday. Tell your * mother you will call her only * during the day. Remind your * husband that you cannot ig- * nore old friends you meet, and * do not intend. to. Encourage * the children to show their love * for their father. : - * If worse comes 'to worst, * you may have to threaten to ¢ leave -him_ I sincerely * you will not have to: but he * must understand that his jeal- * ousy is making you miserably. * 'unhappy and you cannot be a + helpful mate, nor an adecuate * mother, so long-as he subjects * + * * * * * you to its strain. Some hus- bands- have been convinced by -- such a threat, and by this ex- planation, and' have finally conquered their jealousy al- most entirely, I hope this hapn- pens to yours. oT Understanding and patience have brought mony a jealove bus. band to terms.

Post Office Trouble r A publication called the Wolf Magazine of Letters specializes in reproducing unusual missives of every description. The follow- ing; sent by a postmaster in a remote Kentucky hamlet to a customer of the U.S. mails in Dover, Delaware, was more un- usual than most: Dear Sir: The next time yon send toads through this post of- fice, please see that they are not' " only wrapped securely, but car- ry sufficient postage to possible additions to chandise in transit. : I don't know how many of the darned things you mailed origin- ally, but when the package burst this morning there were: fifteen.

Cheesman is trying to' discover just why a rose smells so sweet or a clogged ; drain so" bad. So richly rewarding 'are his researches that Dr. Chegsman believes we can soon establish a . standard measurement for smells similar to the wattage measurement of light or the de- cibels of sound. t ss With an instrument called the olfactometer, such chemicals as either and acétone, alcohol and chloroform are diluted with . water and air. Dr. Cheesman then discovers the precise' strength at which students no- tice the smell, The results are re- markably constant. In Boston, Dr. Ernest. Crocker has worked out a "spectrum" of smelling with thirty-two standard odours. 'All smells, he argues, are merely combinations of four primary sensations: frag- rant, sour, burnt and "goaty." Another expert has launched a smell society to encourage en- thusiasts in the appreciation of smells. A scaside resort zonsult- ed it recently when the authori- ties wished to identify a stench on their promenade which drove away visitors. 2 High in-the recesses ot the nose 'the olfactory bulb com- municates by. nerve moulses with the brain. - Though we know that the radiations by which we enjoy the scent of new- -mown hay or of eau-de-Ccologne are probably akin to lght or sound, scientists still. know no- thing about the speed or energy of the smell-waves. An Ausiralian aborigine can smell water a mile away. - By contrast, the civilised nose is untrained and well-nigh useless. An interesting discovery, made at Reading*4University, 1s that the nose tires easily and is quickly saturated by too much of one smell. Some people nave a good memory for odours and can quickly summon up in -the ima- gination' the smell of, say, the "seaside or the mixed odours of a country~grocer's shop. Research into smell psycholo- gy is already proving -of com- mercial use. In a recent test a London department store placed twa. sets of identical rayon stodk- ings on sale. One smelled slightly of the fininshing oil used in manufacture. The other had been deodorised with a soft, silky smell_specially blended by perfumers. The latter sold out immediale--- ly to customers--who considered them of far superior grade. Here perhaps is a new line for commercial chemists -- giving products the smell that sells!

A layer of clay is applied to a wood framework, a pattern drawn in the clay, and flower petals and small bits of greenery stuck in place. The exhibit was made to further the Westminster Abbey Fund Appeal. b= xs 'HRONICLES %GiNGERFARM ~~ past week has been mostly with pickles, pears and tomatoes, with a two-weeks' wash and an odd meeting or two to attend thrown in for good measure. Running around is just fine until the time comes for catching-up with the der was it worth. while. How- -ever, if we really took that at- titude no one would ever get anywhere--and what a pity that would be as a few days away . from home, seeing new places and new things, gives a person satisfying memories for months to come It also opens up new avenues for conversation and an exchange of experiences with other folk who.at some time have =fravelled the same road. 1 dis- covered that the other day when a travelling salesman who haps in with his wares. Apparently he has travelled quite a bit; knew the places I had been to--and a good many others--in fact he told me of so many lovely and interesting places I really had "was able to settle down again to work' at all. ah But finally I managed it -- pretty nearly had to as I had pro- ~ mised to can tomatoes- for Bob and his wife (who are still hon- eymooning) and for Dee and Arthur, as, in the latter case, a small apartment doesn't add to the conveniences of canning and pickling. Of course, the hard part is getting started. Once over that hugp preserving becomes a fas- . cinating art--and it grows on a person. You start out with the raw -roduct and in course of time, by your own skill and perseverance, you have jars and jars of vitamins and minerals and such like stored away for winter use. Then you take them down cellar, come across a few more empty jars here and there, and you are seized with an urge to fill those jars whether you need more fruit or not. Tomatoes or buy them, and home-presesved fruit and pickles are so much nicer than the factory-canned Well, my song and dance" this : work and then you begin to won-- pens to read this column stopped ~ itching feet--it-was a wonder I 'cost so little," whether you grow | of them were Ayrshires and one was a Durham. All were about the same age but the difference between the Ayrshires and the Durham was really striking. The Durham was rolling in fat and weighed 30 pounds more than his two companions. So I guess it is true what we always hear --"it's the breed that counts." Also the sex, bull calves naturally make better veal than their sis- ters. Incidentally, every calf born ° -|--on our farm this year has been "a male, which is rather unbsual 'generally. they run about fifty- fifty. We still have two vealers down the barn--just in case any- one would like a few veal cut- lets. Incidentally, two neighbours " and I were talking about differ- ent cuts of meat which brought up the subject of veal Said one, "I never buy veal. One time we | had such a pet of a calf, it would' follow the children everywhere, and then the men butchered. it" for home consumption, But the . children and I never did eat any of that calf, and we haven't had any stomach for- veal ever since." : = Well . . . I can understand the sentiment, but I think the real moral of that story is hot to make a pet of an animal whose func- tion in life is to provide meat for. the table. .There are plenty of domesti. animals upon which to lavish affection and thus avoid grief when a pet lamb or pig ~ has to be killed or sold. Children naturally love baby animals but baby animals have a way of growing up, so, to avoid the in- evitable heartbreak, it is kinder. in the long run, to discourage voungsters from niaking vets of barnyard stock. I learnt that les- . son years ago. We had a tame drake but no ducks. We couldn't keep the drake over the winter --and it would have choked us to eat it--so we chose the lesser of two evils and sold it alive.

Mrs. Casabona is her own most enthusiastic 'supporter, ex-: perimenting, eating, and serving her 75 varities of handmade chocolate candy centres with in- terest, appreciation, and pleas- ure. Bh mon, one of Greater Cleveland's * most respected restaurant names for a generation, Mrs, Casabona. comes by her talent and train- ing naturally, writes Mary Hirsch- field in The Christian Science Monitor, . When she was still a teen-ager, she helped in her mother's res- taurant, learning the business, Mrs. Damon employed a candy maker, for she handled her own line of chocolates, and her daugh- ter was especially attentive to the intricacies of that particular job. = . TIn-}1945, Mrs. Casabona, who had decided to take charge of the candy department in her mother's Cleveland Heights res- taurant, went back to Boston and New York, for special candy courses. She also got several fac- tory jobs to learn about choco- Nate dipping. : : Returning home she branched out almost immediately into her own operators and naturally the first customer was her mother. Today, throughout northern Ohio there are 65 clubs and dining rooms. handling the Damon sil- ver - (white for mints) packages, People visiting the store are invited to go into the adjoining, air-conditioned,' spick-and-span candy kitchen to sée how the «gelicacies are made and packed. They are also invited to "taste one." Neighborhood youngsters are" delighted with ® that - generous custom. When they come in to make a purchase and cannot be satisfied with what is on display," they as to look around the kitch- en for something else and, of course end up sampling. There are from 18 to 42 em- ployees, depending upon the sea-i son, including six chocolate dip- . pers and three packers. They use 700 pounds of sugar weekly.' Every two months a new confection is put on the market. - The two latest are black walnut. creams and almond paste mixed with vanilla cream and a little . cinnamon. : ~ Ever alert to ideas offered by Casabona always pays tribute to an acquaintance for her best seller, - chocolate covered marshmellow, of which about 125 pounds are made: daily. The acquaintance, unknown to her at first, was a quiet man who took an hour's street-car ride one day to show her how to make . marshmallow. An em- ployee of: Mrs. Damon's had told him how her daughter was start- ing out, so he came to offer a bit of help. __ Wartime rationing was : in force but when he asked for 25 pounds of sugar, it was hand- Daughter of Mrs. Bertha Da- : still - ~ Box 5, Dept. 50 NDY BUSINESS ed to him -- not, however, with- out misgivings. She watched him attentively and when he was through every 'flat surface in the kitchen, 'ex-' cept the floor and ceiling, was covered with marshmallow, In fact the employees had to be sent Home for there was no room for them to work. ty Finally the marshmallows gen- jus departed. Mrs. Casabona looked at Mrs. Damon and ask- ed, "What will I do with all this oe marshmallow?" | "Cover with chocolate," was the prompt reply, and so the best seller came into being. At present it can be had with toast- ed cocnut or in vanilla, pepper=- mint, and pineapple flavors. ¢ .Employees are encouraged to invent new concoctions and when they do and one passes all tests, the successful inventor is put in-charge of its production. THE REASON WHY A SCHOOL inspector was questioning some boys. "Can you take your warm overcoats off?" "Yes, sir." "Can the bear take his warm overcoat off?" "No, sir." ty "Why not."
