But.even--in a case like that there is no need to panic, Ellen-had only: to wait at her destination for Mary to come on by the next train -- possibly a matter--of five or seven minutes, But this I must say -- it isn't wise to read the evening paper as you ride, Far better to watch for your statien on the wall of every platform or-first thing you know you will find yourself at Eglinton in- stead of Bloor or College or wherever you intended to get off, ; Back to the country*. . ; spring seems to. have been so, late in coming 'the last few' years. And a late spring makes such a rush job of seeding. Not enough of the right kind of weather for a long enough time is really what causes the trouble. It just doesn't leave 'any--margin. A breakdown with 'a tractor for even a few hours can mean a week's delay in getting a field seeded if rain should come before the repair job is done. No doubt this feeling of having to beat the weather is responsible for a few fields here and there not being worked up as well as A 'lot depends on the soil of course -- and it could be that farmers with clay- - loam look enviously on while neighbours, perhaps no farther away than the next concession, work with. very little interrup- tian on their sandy-loam fields. But then comes a dry spell and "it is the clay-loam farmers who reap the benefit. No one can win all the time, In the long run the law of averages evens things up pretty well. And that applies to more than farming ."... it applies to every aspect of 'life, . eT We can all think of people we know who are blessed with plenty of this world's godds but there may be ill-health in the - family, dissension in family cir- cles; tragedy or loss of life. Or we may know others who ap- pear to have so little--but yet seem so happy. Because of their religious beliefs, or their philo- sophy of life, to them every day is a new beginning, A beauti- ful sunset means more to them than a movie; a well-written book better than a television show; a friendly call from a neighbour more than a bridge party. There are also people so busy all the time that physical tiredness. and a mind at peace with itself brings sound sleep at night. And there are those with too much leisure and, too much 'social life who hardly know what it is to get a good night's rest without the aid of sleeping pills. The law of- averages again . . . what you gain on the swings you lose on the roundabouts. Well, it_is raining again but Partner says there is nothing for farmers to worry about. He says according to what he has heard: from old-time farmers if Easter is early, seeding is not likely to start" until 'a week of two afterwards, And in those dgys seeding took weeks -, .' our modern tractor-farmers ex- pect to get the job done in two weeks anyway.

His constant companion in this ' rugged territory was a 'donkey, his means of transport. He grew fond of the animal. One day, badly wounded, he just managed to drag himself on to the don- key's back. She carried him to a base hospital and thereby saved £ i SEER ie But when he recovered the donkey had disappeared. Years later, visiting a local market with his pretty wife, he saw his donkey, clearly marked still with his initials "V.S," It was for sale, price $12. This was more than Vlajko could afford, and he tried to beat the price down, without success. Then he noticed that the vendor a young man named. Stojimir Pantich, was looking admiringly at his wife--and offered to do a straight "swap." Stojimir, with amazed delight, agreed. Only then did .Vlajko explain why he wanted the donkey so badly.

Now sewing ma e manufacturers are turning out machines and attachments that will do almost every intri- cate 'itch and job hitherto per- formed only in the professional There are rufflers which can ruffle 10 yards of material in one" minute, and binders which not only bind over the edge of the - fabric but sew it down in an at- tractive zigzag stitch at the same time, Buitonholes do not have to present the inevitable problem any 'more either, since one of the most practical attachments 'now being put out is the button- holer, which can be adjusted to any size required. Machine Quilting You can practically make your owh fabrics today, too, thanks to the inventiveness of the sewing machine industry, On the mar- ket now is a gulding prong for the home machine which guides the needle along the stitching lines required for quilted mater- ial. Since quilted fabrics are be- ing used more \and more in the clothes field, thik new gadget en- ables any woman to take her . favorite fabric and quilt it pro- fessionally. i ditty Illustrative of the many johs 'attachments is the new booklet entitled "Sewing Magic for Teen- Agers," written by Mildred Ryan and - published .by the Greist Manufacturing Company, It ex- plains how to use cloth guides, adjustable zipper ahd cording feet, scissors cutting gauges, gath- ering feet, various types of hem- mers, tuckers, quilters, edge : ers, and rufflers. 83 But wonderful as all these are, they are really the frosting on the sewing cake.. Any woman can start to sew with only a sewing machine -- of whatever vintage--and a little imagination and patience. One of the fallacies held about -gome sewing -- mainly, I believe, | by those who think they can't sew --is that to be professional looking a garment.has to have a lot of detail or be of an intricate design. Actually the contrary is true. One of the most important aspects of sewing is not the ac- tual machine or hand-work, but picking out a pattern and mater- ial that are, so to speak, made Try Sleeveless Dress i For a beginner, there is no bet- ter place to start than on a sum- mer dress. When deciding on a pattern, choose one that has no sleeves, Or, if you feel you must. have some sleeves, select a pat- tern that has the sleeves cut right onto the bodice. A home- - made look will show up first in a sleeve badly or bunchily. set "into a-shoulder. : Collars can be tricky, too, and it you feel you don't want to tackle one on your first try, choose a plain round neckline or perhaps one that is slit down the. front and which can be dressed up with jewelry to take away the plainness. Gathered skirts are usually easy and so are flared ones por ones with unpressed pleats. But skirts made in tiers or with rut- fles around the bottom can be difficult for the beginner and are hard to iron. ! 'Now, if you have a pattern that can choose a material that is practically a work of art in it- self. One of the enormously. wide 'range of fabrics to choose from, not only in design but also in the fibers. ' Cotton. is still one of the most wearable and easy-to-take-care- of materials on 'the market. : Synthetic fabrics have jumped into the yard goods world with J force since War. lon is becoming more versa- le with Bgerant weaves now being offe as w tterned and plain mate {fade up- ih. a "simple summey take care of and for traveling simply cannot be : 1t you do want a pattern with a little more detail to it, the nearest sewing center will coves Attendants will also give you 'advice if you get bogged down. _ There is one experience in sewing however, that every woman must steel herself to face. That is the movement -- just as you feel you have finally achiev- ed a Fifth Avenue look in your designs -- when some dear friend comes rushing up and exclaims, "What a 'lovely dress, did you make it yourself?" Had Their Music Despite The Law Holland has just passed a law under which it is strictly pro- "hibited to create a noise of any kind on a Sunday morning. The definition of "noise" in this in. stance is a sound that can be of origin. Dutch village on the German border, were dismayed 'when they heard about the new law. . It has always been a cherished custom in Kerkrade for couples celebrating their golden wed- ding anniversary to attend church on the nearest Sunday morning accompanied by all the villagers -and the joyous music of a brass band. ! =" Especially disgruntled were Mr, and Mrs. Crutzen, of Kerk- * rade's Nieuw Straat, who were .about to celebrate their golden wedding in traditional manner. Then - an ingenious: fellow- citizen had an idea. Since the runs through the village, the brass band belonging to the Ger- man part was engaged for the occasion." 'And while the vener- able couple headed the silent procession to church along the left side of the wire fence sep- arating the Dutch and Germdn - halves of the village, members. of the brass band of the Dutch vil- lage followed in silence wiith their instruments reversed. But on the other side of the fence the band of the German marching musfc in defiance of the new Dutch law. __THE SEVEN WONDERS The -Seven Wonders of the ancient world were: the Pyra- mids of Egypt; the Hanging Gar- dens of Babylon, a series of ter- dred feet. above the ground, said to have been built by Nebu- chadnezzar to please his wife, Amytis, who wearied of the Artemis (Diana) at Ephesus; the Statue of Jupiter by Phidias at Olympia; the Colossus of Rhodes, a gigantic statue of bronze over one hundred feet high, and towering above the entrance to the harbor; -the Mausoleum, or tomb "of Mausolus, at' Haljcar- .nassus; and the Pharos of Alex- andria. i : IT MAY BE If life's not werth living ' it; may be your liver) Die & 480 10 keg yous Sores onl fire .
