Anne Hirst: I am a con- & trite hushand, back with my wife, and wondering how crazy a man can get ... We have been mar- ried 18 years, and have two chil- dren. My wife is a grand per- son--yet two months ago I fell in love with another woman, and lost my head. "I told my wife I_was leaving. She said nothing, just stood there "and listened. . . . The woman and I went off together for -over a month; I felt like a boy again, relieved of responsibilities, and 'renewing my youth, I even prom- ised to get free somehow -an marry her, and T really intended==] to. "Then, suddenly, my love for her was gone. One day she seem- ed like a stranger, . my senses, and brought - her back fast. She is a nice girly and I couldn't bring myself to tell her the truth--that I would never be content with any wom- an but my wife. "WHAT'S NOW?" . "My wife has forgiven me, and only God in His mercy knows why. Since then, I've done all I could to make up for my folly. "But what of. the girl? I feel responsible. I thought I had to see her now and then, to break off gently. I know she cares for me, and I feel how grieved and bewildered she is. No one is to blame but me. What can I do?" 4 R.D.T." * You can be a loyal husband * again, in every sense of the * word.

Don't Scrub Floors Sponge Em Many women who arc accus- tomed to automatic washers and ironers, electric mixers and pres= sure cookers, still get down, on their hands and knees with an old-fashioned brush 'and pail to scrub the floor. A few are able to turn this chore over to a weekly cleaning woman. The rest just don old clothing and perhaps a pair of Tubber gloves and double as their own scrubwoman. " Out. of chemistry's continuous _xesearch program for removing "the drudgery from housework 'has come the cellulose sponge, now a familiar kitchen and bath- room accessory. ERS - When equipped by manufac- turers with a long handle and a small hand-operating 'wringer this same cellulose sponge will keep the housewife's knees off hard floors and her hands out of - grimy water. Py Scrubbing a floor this way be- comes about as easy as sweeping it with a broom. Hands never {ouch the mop end or the water and the whole operation is per- formed from an erect position. The mop is simply dipped into a pail containing a mild cleaning solution and rubbed==over the floor. To lap up the loosenéd dirt "and water, the mop end is first rinsed and then wrung out with a flip of the automatic squeezer. Since cellulose sponges soak up 20 times their weight in water, wringing is reduced to a mini- mum. These sponge mops are becom- ing as versatile as the popular . cellulose hand sponge. When moisténed with clear water and squeezed until all the water has been expelled, they make excel- lent rug cleaners and floor dust- ers. The sponge has such an at- traction for dust, dirt and lint that the mop should be rinsed clean periodically under. the kitchen tap. Their long handles make them convenient for wash- ing - walls, windows, ceiling and other awkward areas. The auto- matic squeezer makes it easy for the housewife to control their moisture content. Sponge mops are also. handy liquid wax appliers With usage they become saturatéd' with the liquid and result in a saving of wax which is often wasted when other appliers are tossed out.

Noi the only one who gives thanks for a meal is a beg- gar. Do mot say, "Thank you for the delicious dinner," stead, "I've had a wonderful time," or, "It has been nite being with you." It is more proper to indicate your éenjoyment of the visit, than of the fact that you've been fed. Q. Are relatives and friends obligated to send gifts to an &n- gaged girl? . : A. No. Just before the wed- ding, and upon receipt of an in- vitation is time enough for this. Q. Is it ever "permissible to leave the spoon in the coffee cup? A. "Never; the spoon should always be placed in the saucer. Q. Will you please explain the proper manner of eating soup? : | A. Dip the farther edge ot the spoon into the soup and di- rect it away from you and_to- wards the outer. edge of the plate. Do not fill the spoon to the brim.

Confer- ence -- this time in connection with the visit of the delegates to the very spot 'where the Mother Institute was organized. To my mind this was one of the high- 'lights of the Conference. Judging by its well-woqoded ° surroundings the terrain of Stoney Creek has changed very little since the decisive battle of 1812-14. It is a beautiful little village, and, if one knew nothing at all of its history, one would be ~ inclined to pause awhile because of the magnificent scenery. And ~ then, having paused, it would be . only natural to inquire about the imposing monument that stands high upon a hill in Baftlefield Park. This monument'is in the form of a massive stone column, rising from a -dense growth of trees and shrubs and was erected to commemorate the Battle of Stoney Creek between the Ame- rican and Canadian Forces in June, 1813. But it has still an- other 'meaning, of possibly even greater significance. It com- memorates the beginning of the 'kb ponsibility. . sidering these and later circum- (35¢) in coins (stamps. cannot be accepted) for this pattern.

Further evidence of the friendly relationship be- tween two great border countries can be found in the burial ground across the road, where GCana- dian and American soldiers, who once fought against each other,' -now sleep side by side, having given their lives for what each considered a just cause. On the battlefield where they fell a Monument has been erected in their memory. Following the grim aftermath of war the people of Stoney Creek settled down to again wrest a living from the soil. Many of the early settlers were United Empire Loyalists and among them was a widow, Mary Jones Gage, who, with her two children, James and Elizabeth, came to Canada from Albany in the year 1790 and were granted Crown Lands in Stoney Creek." 'The /home where the "Gage family lived, and endured great danger: and hardship during: the war, is now known as Battle- field House and is preserved as' a Museum, most of the pioneer furnishings having been con-, tributed by various members of the Gage family. Mary Gage was a courageous woman. _ After losing "her loya= list husband, John Gage, she put what possessions: she could handle into a canoe, and, with her children and two brothers, made her way along: the old- time water route 'from Albany to Canada. finally to the head- of-the-Lakes and thus to Stoney Creek. Here = she. sect #bout clearing the land and tilling the soil until her son James was old enough to take over the res- How _ fitting, con- stances during the war; that the motto of the Gage family was, and presumably still is, "Cou- rage without Fear." = Possibly that motto would ap- ply equally well to many other pioneer Stoney Creek revidents, and particularly, to; Erland Lee. It was Mr. Leé who first recog- "nized the need' for a women's organization, whosé func- tion should be to study and im- prove! rural living. In. the fall of 1896, with this conviction still firmly rooted in his mind, Er- "SAFES Protest your BODKS and CASA from ne Roe of TuRvEs, "We ogi Fin a Dons, Visit ws ov write for bries, eta, to J.6J TAYLOR LIMITED T0RONTO SAFE WORKS EL | to devote just one. more - peaceful era that has existed be- ~ land Lee attended a meeting of the Experimental Union, at the 0.A.C. in Guelph, "where he heard address a meeting on the need of having Domestic Economy taught in schools as one means of rais=- ing the rural standard of living. Mr. Lee was so impressed by Mrs. Hoodlgss' stirring and for- thright address that he arrang- ed for her to address a meeting of the Farmer's Institute in Stoney Creek, to which the wo- men were invited. And from that small beginning emerged the Stoney Creek Women's In- stitute." News of this new 'ven- ture got around and women in other districts were fired with enthusiasm. One after another new branches were-formed. Now, the W.I1, affiliated with other rural = organizations, constitutes the ACW.W, the largest wo- men's organization in the world. . How fitting then, that the A.C.W.W. should visit the site of the Mother Institute. Here, in the grounds of Battlefield House, at the foot of the hill upon which stands. the Memorial Column, - women of all nations met with the present members of Stoney Creek W. I. Here, also, were the five - remaining charter members of the Mother Institute, the first to carry the torch, led by the. inspired' Adelaide HoodleSs, "who, from bitter" experience, had re- cognized - the need: for greater knowledge among women -- of nursing, medicine and a- better way of living, Here, too, to ~greet the "delegates -'was--Mar---|- jorie "Lee, daughter of Erland Lee; Mrs. Gordon Conant of Oshawa; daughter of Mrs. : D. Smith, the first W.

Perhaps Mrs. Raymond Sayre felt it too as she said in her address -- "The Story of Stoney Creek gives us four important points to remember. First, the power of an idea; se- cond, the power of a woman; third, the*power_ptan individual; --and fourth, it pEOyes :that every- one must begin where they are, . and with what they have." i VALUABLE CHIPS Tim Bramer, aged seven, was enjoying 'his bag of potato crisps until he bit on something altogether unlike the cruchy wa- fers--a diamond ring. An indignant boy took himself off to the potato chip company's offices to. protest. was soon dispelled by the pre- -sgentation of a fat monetary re- ward given him by the employee who had lost her engagement ring while working' in the plant. Mrs. Adelaide Hoodless * His annoyance' "Honeymoons That Weren't Too Sweet Perhaps the shortest honey moon on record was that of the ° Portsmouth soldier who jumped his unit to get married. Thirty minutes after the ceremony he was in cells awaiting an escort back to 'barracks. - In the same -class were Alex Hinney and his bride, Constance Fleet, of Las'Vegas, Alex and his wife went through the mar- riage seryice to benefit under the terms of a will. They collected the cash on a 150-minute honeymoon and then made a bee-line for the divorce court. " The most uncomfortable noney=- moon was spent by the jester of Empress Anne of Russia. The empress didn't like his sense of humour; and she forced him into marrying an old crone. The couple were compelled to spend their honeymoon in a house made of ice on the frozen . surface of the river Neva Just to make it worse, a bed was in- stalled which was carved out of a block of ice. - What about the longest honey- moon? Surely the Gosport couple who cruised round the world in a converted: lifeboat are candi- . dates here. They were away for. four years. Possibly the busiest honey- moon' was spent by Maureen O'Ryan when she took Ernest Johnson to be her lawfu: hus- band. He was the manager and she was the assistant on a Dodg- - em track at the Festival Gardens. They chose the height of the sea- son to marry, so after the ser- vice: they both went back to a spell of overtime. 3 ¢ One of.the oddest honeymoons was the choice of London clippie ~ Elsie 'Hansen,' after she married a bus driver. Elsie held four London Transport athletic cham- ,_ pionships, and she had to travel 3 to Osterley, Middlesex, to defend them after leaving the church. The queerest spot for the wed- ding night was chosen _by an Austrian farm-labourer, who took his bride home to a stable: to be bed-mates.- with his fav- ourite horse. Home to Mother But even she was lucky com- pared to June Neam, of Mem- phis. Her husband hada passion for bull-terriers as well as his bride, and he took six of them with him on the honeymoon. June didn't mind that so much, but she drew the line at having the dogs in bed. She hopped out and went home to mother.
