I would like to warn other girls that forget- ting the Golden Rule does not pay . . . I was a. widow, knew all the answers. 1 was just look- ing for someone to support me. When I met this man, he was en- aged to a girl whom everybody oved; 1 knew that, but I also knew he was wealthy. I used all my wiles to land him. "We are both miserable beings. His mind is always on her, even I can sense that. When we meet | any of her friends he pretends not to sce them; he is ashamed of me and of what we both have done. We have not even respect - for each other anymore --- and how can we have? : "Any woman whe, would come between an engaged couple would be just as quick to break up a marriage. 1 say to your readers: Before you interfere between two people who love each other, call on your self-respect to resist. You are always the loser, "This other girl got rid of a spineless skunk and I ani"stuck with him. SORRY NOW" Why are you "stuck with him?" It does happen occasion- ally that {wo guilty persons are bound together by the knowl.- edge of their guilt; perhaps that * in common. But why live with it! « Wouldn't you be a different person away: from this man?

God, believe me, "of sloths, the three-toed. or ai, at least you need not be daily reminded of it, as you are in his presence, Such a life is de- grading to you both. _, With a fresh start -- alone, and building up respect for yourself again--the day should not be far off when you will feel cleansed of this despair, and able to face your world with dignity and fortitude. "Dear Anne Hirst: | hope you can print my letter, so no other man will make the.mistake I did. They may never get the second chance TI got. "l married a girl of different faith, We were married in her church, and the children were baptized there; I even went with them occasionally. But after a while people poisoned my mind against her faith. 1 began to argue with her; she tried to rea- son with me,.but I would not lis- ten. 1 got her and myself in a desperate stdte. ! "l finally "stopped going to church at all, and didn't believe in anything anymore. She left me. She couldn't take my insults any longer. That is when I real- ized what a fool I'd been to let those interfering people influence me . . . "God must have given her spe- cial grace, for she has listened to my. please at last, and we are to- gether again; .we all go to her But I feel I can never make up for all the heartache I caused her . . . Men, there is only one A FOOL THAT WAS" . » * If you once made a grave mis- take, admit it, do what you can to wipe out the consequences, and make a fresh start.

RP ting x i UPSIDE-DOWN TRAVELLER Sloths are known for their pe- culiar way of hanging down when walking about the branches of the trees that form their home in the forests of Central and South America, There are two groups and the two toed, or unau. They travel while. hanging by their hooked claws. However, a sloth is not helpless on the ground. It Modern Etiquette ~ taken a bite of food - tation. { . 000 degrees. ~Q.. Is It out-of-date "now to teach boys and girls to say, "Yes, ma'am" and "No, ma'am," and "No, Sir" and "Yes, Sir" to adults? A, "Yes, sir" is still correct for a boy when speaking to his father or other men, but a girl should use the name of the per- son spoken to, as "Yes, Mrs. Jones." The word ,"Ma'am," is no longer in good form, and when a child "doesn't know the name of the person, he should add something to "yes" or "no" as, "Yes, it is," or "*No, 1 don't think so." Q. Is it permissible to 'sip water while one has food in his mouth? A. No, this is considered bad manners. Only when one has into the mouth that is too hot to handle is a sip of water condoned. : Q. When introduced to a per- son. for the second time, what should one say? A. You may say, "I've already had 'the pleasure of meeting Mr. Smith," or, "I think I met Mr. Smith last month." Q, Is it really necessary to ex- plain the reason for refusing an invitation? A." Yes, unless you really want nothing further to do with the person extending the invi- "I'm sorry, but 1 have another engagement" is usually good form. : Q. If tea is served and a guest does not care for it. would it be all vight for this guest to ask for a cup of coffee? A. Not unless the hostess asks if he or she would prefer coffee. Otherwise, drink the tea, or part of it, and express no preference. Q. Should a wedding invitation be mailed to parents? "A, Most certainly. They are as. much entitled to this cour- -tesy as any other guests. $ ~ Q. How long should one stay when making a call: of condo- lence at a friend's home? A. This call should be especi- ally brief -- not' longer than about 'ten oi fifteen minutes-- unless, of course, the bereaved friend asks you to stay longer. | Q. What are several forms for introdneing a married woman and a single woman? A. "Mrs, Johnson, may 1 in- troduct Miss Lee?" "Mrs. John- son, this is Miss Lee," Or, you may merely mention the names as, "Mrs. Johnson, Miss Lee." Q.-Is it all right to use the fork for taking: butter from (he butter plate? ; A.

Our faces, exposed to cold, do get cold, but they do not feel cold because the nerves by which we feel cold are accustomed to this state of affairs and take no notice of it. In fact, all nerves act in this way; messages travel along them only when there is a change in the usual condition of the body. We tolerate, with. out noticing them, degrees of cold to which we are accustomed "in our face and hands; but we actually feel that our feet are cold if we expose them. Yet people who 'are accustomed' to bare feet feel no more and suffer no more: from them than we do from bare hands. On a winter day we may not notice that our noses and eartips are cold; éven _ when they are quite cold. You soon find that they are if you . put a warm hand against them. There is a tremendous difference between being cold and feeling - "cold.

At last, however, the country, man gets used to the noise and the townsman gets used to the silence, and both sleep soundly. Half-Size Fashion!

Changeable weather, of course -- all 'the way from cool, clammy fog to heat and humidity. There is quite a lot of hay down in this district but we haven't started yet.

What a change in the 'gardens - from a week ago: = everything growing fast to make up for the late season.' It is lovely at this .. time of thei year to see so many well.kept gardens, -- flower and: vegetable. too, Not here though, my nice gardén is a thing of the past. I have long since given up the struggle. However, with the help of a; power lawn-mower Partner keeps the lawns well cut and that always gives any place a tidy 'appearance. 4 : I had occasion to do a. bit of travelling on our country roa last week and came. to! the: con-: clusion there are very few places more beautiful than our own lit, tle county of Halton. There is nothing really spectacular in our scenery but once you get off the beaten track there is such a quiet restfulness --: such greenness in the well-wooded roads. And then there are the lovely little churches, schools, and well-kept graveyards. Some of them, that is. On one road I passed an old pioneer cemetery. Mercifully a thick row of poplars had grown up along the road fense so that most people would pass by the graveyard without noticing it at all, But I stopped and did a lit- tle exploring. there were more than twenty graves all told, and most of the tombstones were broken or knock- ed over. It seems to me"it should be the responsibility of town- ship councils to see that old ceme- teries are not allowed to become neglected, Weed-spraying machines are used to. keep down noxious growth on country roads -- why not a good spraying for the' old pioneer cemeteries? Not that we particu- . larly favour the weed-spraying unless it is followed by a clean- up job on the unsightly debris of dead weeds and shrubs that are lett. behind. In the case of ceme- teries that could easily be done, In some districts burial grounds have been cleared of weeds and underbrush and the tombstones gathered together to form a cairn, A respectful tribute to the found- ers of the district and a credit to the people now living in the com- munity. Which is all to the good since to the stranger a communi- ty'is often judged by the appear- ance of its countryside. How. ,vever, appearances can be decep- tive. Well kept homes and farm buildings used to be an indication of a prosperous farm community. But conditions are occupied by people who are not farming at all. In some cases farm property has been split up i= house and buildings belonging to one man. who may be working in an indusirial plant a few miles away -- and farm acreage sold to a neighboring farmer, 'All this may not be obvidus to tht motor- ing public but farm people' can see pretty well what is going on: "1 visited one little village last week, at one time thé centie of a farming community, and 1 was told that not one of the adjacent farms was now being cultivated, , the older folk being past heavy work and the younger folk attrag- ted by the wages paid in nearby ' industrial'plants. Of course, & headtof "the club at the rate of. | "of the farmers hve most of their fields down in grass and keep a ' I don't suppose : weed-infested areas. ° have changed." Quite a number of farm houses 3 few cattle. I suppose we may be still have fifteen head of cattle. However, this year we gave "a junior farmer" a chance to put in twelve acres of oats for A self and pasture for seven head of cattle. This young fellow is not a junior farmer in the sense i that that term is generally un, derstood. He is just a yo "chap trying to make a go of on. his own. It would appear there are two types of junior farmers. In one type we find the sons of successful farmers, who not having the sole responsibility - " of the home farm on their shoul- ders are thus able to get out and take advantage of short courses, demonstrations and fleld days in connection with the various branches of agriculture and ani- mal husbandry. : There is also another type of junior farmer struggling along unassisted, who deserves to be encouraged. It might be said of him that he is learning the hard way as he is too busy making a living to take in short courses or compete with organized junior farmers at fairs and exhibitions, He is not necessarily ignorant or "less interested. \He can read. ARTICLES in farm magazines or keep up with the modern farm- .ing methods by radio -- and usu- ally does. Ten years from now it will be interesting to note which type of young fellow has made the better farmer. Here is a note of comfort -- just in: case 'you are feeling the heat! This is the longest day -- the year -is half gone already. It won't be long before we are shovelling snow again and laying in our winter's supply of oil or coal, : How Far Can . You See? As we stand on the seashore the sky and the sea seem to meet,' way off in the distance. The meeting-place is the horizon. It we stand on a level plain we can, if there are no trees or buildings in the way, see where the end of the land seems to touch the bot- "tom rim of the dome we call the sky. That also is the norizon. The distance to the horizon depends on how high our eyes are above the level of the sea or above the level of the land across which. we are lookipg.
