ORANGE PEKOE SAY ANNE HIRST HIR "Dear Anne Hirst: I've only |, as he rv. been married three years, and_I am sick of it. After the first year my husband worked only half the time, and we have not nearly enough to live on. I have made Bver- my clothes till they are fall- ing apart, and what he wears are a disgrace. . . , The place we live in has no conveniences, I do my best to keep it (and myself) neat and fresh but it is a losing job, I would love a nice home, but my husband only wants a place to eat and sleep in, If I were able to work, 1 would; but I can only take care of the housework. "He takes me to the grocery store, and to the movies once a week -- and I hate movies. 1 like to dance, play cards, and have friends in. My husband does not like people. Evenings I read to him, but he never talks about our future, or his business; if I ask him, he just shuts up. Before we married, he was not like this. We had good times like other couples, and 1 never dreamed I would have to live as I-do today. I even cried, and begged him to be Use remnants of seersucker, nylon, or cotton for play-tops and pants.

MISERABLE" I am afraid -that your hus- band's indifference, ; and his failure to provide a better liv- ing, are inherent traits. Perhaps a different approach will help. Tell himi 'how much you de- pend on him, how you know he can find extra work during the months he is unemployed. Remind him how industrious he was such a few years ago. A little flattery has its place. What he seems to need is more self-confidence, and" only you can stimulate that. Unless you can inspire him to greater effort, you will have to keep on doing without all the good things you yearn for and all the fun you want to have. Many a young wife struggles along with her husband and gladly, for she believes in him and his ability to succeed. Your husband is still in his 30's, too young to cease trying. What you have lost is your faith in your man; if you can recapture that (and let him know you have) it should pro- vide 'the incentive he needs. I recognize how dull is your present routine, and I sympa-_ thize. But try this idea -- ad-~ ding articulate affection ---- and see what happens. * * LE EE EE EE EE EE EE SE RE RE EEE TEE IEE EE NE BE JET JE EE EE BE IE JRE NE ER » HUSBAND TROUBLE "Dear Anne Hirst: My trouble is. my husband -- as isn't most wives? He is always cross. He says he has never been happy, and doesn't expect to be. He does not (frankly) ilke the children, and we have four, and he finds fault with al] of us. I like friends and fun, and he does not. "I would hate to break up our home, but I really cannot stand living like this. Can you under- stand, from this brief note, what I am up against?

You dare not let them down.

Is it correct for a woman in mourning to use black-edged letter paper and envelopes? A. While not incorrect, this custom -is not so popularly ob- - gorved as formerly. A woman in mourning is not required #0 advertise it. any more than a divorced woman 'would think it necessary to place some symbol of separation on her stationery. Q. Is it really proper for a business or rofessional woman, who marries, to retain her maid- en name for business purposes? A. This is quite proper, and is often done, especially when the maiden name has become estab- lished and has advertising value, Q. Should a person ever place his napkin on the table while the meal is in progress? . A. No; not yntil leaving the table. Q. When a woman guest is staying in one's home for a week or two, what is the best way to introduce her to one's friends? A. Jne of the best Cand most popular-ways is to hive an after- noon bridge or tea party in the guest's honor. ; Q. What is the amount of the fee a bridegroom gives the olergyman? A, There is no stipulated amount, although the fee should not be less than ten dollars. The size should depend upon the bridegroom's means. Q. When a woman is wearing not removing her right glove when she shakes hands? any attempt to remove the glove. Q. Would it be all right for me to give a boy my picture to take with him to college, and if so, how should I sign it? A. There.is no reason why you should not give him your pic- ture, it he is a good friend. But it is much better to leave it un- signed. who is dining alone in a res- taurant, to place her purse on the table? A. Never. The purse should be kept in the lap. : Q. Which is correct in an in- troduction, "Miss Jones, Mr. Smith," or, "Mr, Smith, Miss Jones?" : A. "Miss Jones, Mr. Smith." has a great many gifts to dis- play, to leave the cards of the donors attached to the gifts? A. This is quite all right, and practical, too -- since it- saves members of the family from constantly repeating the name of this or that donor to the guests who are viewing the gifts.

However, none of , the daily papers gave it the pub- licity it deserved because, as you know, the daily press has mur- political issues, wars and peace settlements to cover and things that belong to yesterday are more or less crowded out. The weekly papers did a little better. but of course they have their own community news to cover and so their space is limited too. So I wonder . . . would you like me to tell you a little more about the Elora Museum? I'll take a chance anyway. Wellington County, as you may know, was celebrating its: Cen- tennial on July 16, 17 and 18. The opening of the museum at Elora was part of that celebration, Elora is only a small village but one of the loveliest in Ontario. It is the centre of a park development undertaken by the Grand Valley Conservation Authority. A trip to Elora has always been worth- while just to sce the 'magnificent rocks and limestone cliffs. there is an added attraction -- the Museum. Considering the size of the village the enterprising citizens certainly had courage to undertake such a project. The Museum is housed in what was once a store' and is located right "next to the new bridge. The build- ing has been: painted and decor- ated throughout in a style en- tirely in keeping with its pur-- pose. Board flooring was donated and laid down -- not new floor- ing but lovely old pine boards, sanded and polished. There are some wonderful old doors too that were: also- donated, But we had better start down in the basement and work up. The basement is large and roomy "and in it we found a wonderful collection of old-time tools, for carpentry and for use around the farm. There were also farm im: plements of the smaller type -- a cradle, a flail, ox-yokes; and of course there were pioneer kitchen pots, pans and skillet, Al- * most 'everything had a descrip- tive label. Upstairs on the ground floor there were fire- -arms, china, glass, 'carriage lanterns, coins, old furniture, marble fireplace and a beautifully illustrated book, showing in picture form the his- tory of Elora since early settle- ment. It was a wonderful -book. Upstairs 'there was one large room and one small room. The small room was furnished just as if it were a pioneer bedroom. It had a rope 'bed; complete with straw tick and feather mattress. 'Finely embroidered. pillow. shams, home-spun blankets, knitted quilt, patchwork quilt, and spread out on the bed ready for my lady to retire. was a cotton "nightgown, complete with tucks:and embroi-- dery, and: of course long full sleeves, There: was a commode chair, washstand with lovely old bedroom dishes and a beautiful walnut dresser. Also a glass ca- binet containing eile .and glass- ware, and some old Willow ware, In the big room' there were: full-sized models complete with old-time costumes. -- men and women too. And there was a splendid display of; fancy work of th» Victorian period. There wes aoa lose hiftgicel | box. The Now . Not For This Bird -- Strictly for the other two-legged "birds" of New York City, as far as: this 'pigeon is concerned Is a-"Kee Off" sign in Central Park. It's also a fine place from which to watch for peanuts, or cats -- and = anyway, "Pouter" can't read. date on it was -- I don't know whether it was in working order but it was certainly in good con- dition. On one wall was a Currier and Ives print and on another a wreath made from various seeds, Well, that is about all I can think of at the moment but df course 'there are' many, many things that I haven't even men- tioned. "Well," you may "ask, "what's 80 wonderful about it? You see the same sort of things in any other museum?" Yes, that is frue -- how could' it: be: otherwise? After all the tools, dishes, clothes: and implements that: pioneers used were much the same in every district, But yet there was a dif- ference. The articles on display \ at the Elora Museum: belonged to the people of Elora. They had' been used by the early. settlers, by the pioneers who had roughed it in the bush and lived in the first log cabins, Perhaps some: of the articles displayed may have . been used by Roswell Mathews and his' two sons who were the first to clear the land, or by the family of Captain William Gilkin- son who built the' first house in the settlement. Every dish, every tool had an intimate history that belonged only to the people of Elora. Now instead of gathering dust in various attics they. are being cared for and shown to the public and will serve an excellent educational purpose. s What" Elora has done could be accomplished in every county in Ontario. People who: never. think of visifing city museums might, at first for decency's sake, visit their own small local museum. Eventually they would take a pride in the display as part of their heritage. After all, to ap- preciate the present one must have some knowledge and under- standing' of the past. And so, my dear friends, if you are anywhere near Elora do stop ° long enough to look over the Museum. It may inspire you with enthusiasm for getting a similar project started in your own dis- trict, . - - © GENTLE RETORT An English lady, one of those self-appointed morality commis- sioners, accused a workman of .having | become a drunkard be- cause; "With my oww eyes1 saw: his * wheelbarrow standing. out- side: aniinn.!' no direet defense.

Al- most every family owns one and dyes it bright colours. It may, for instance, have green ears, a red muzzle, a blue tail, and a yel- 10w body, Streets are a riot of colour as children tdke their pet sheep for a walk. WAIT AND SEA Signora Anne Pisano's ship has come home, but until she. makes the return voyage on it the. for- tune of $1,200,000 left to her by an uncle remains unclaimed. Anna: lives in Salerno, Italy, and the money is held in trust in America, a provision: of' the will being that she. must: go: to America to: claim it. This she won't do because she is "afraid of the sea." So, until she allays her fears, Anna continues to work as a maid, and the wealth is but a dream. sii BAD, WORSE, WORST Harold Murphy, a resident of Kentucky, decided it was. high time he took a rest to catch up with his shattered nerves. In one week he'd lost his job, had his house razed to the ground by fire, been 'involved in a road ac cident, which resulted: in his car being smashed up; the climax came when hig seven children were put to bed with chicken pox. ; ; THE BARE TRUTH ~ Police had to be called: the other day to a cinema in Beau- lieu, France, where they arrested a young farmer who was sitting in the auditorium completely nude apart from the socks 'he was" wearing. © The film shown was about life in a nudist camp, The farmer's- excuse was that he became 80 en- grossed in it that he had adsent- mindedly disrobed himself in the darkness: of the cinema. HIS EXCUSE The manager of a large. New York theatre was walking down the aisle one morning when he saw a boy of about ten years old sitting in the theater, watch- ing the picture with rapt atten- tion, The man went over, tapped 'the boy on shoulder; and asked: "Why aren't you 'in school?" "It's okay, mister," the boy as- gured him. "I've got the measles." FLAMING AGE The - wealthy Mr. Lctsabucks sat in his wheelchair beside the open: window. A pretty girl pass- ed "by, 'and "Lotsabucks pulled frantically at the bellrope' on: the! wall. . The butler appeared. 'Quick, - George, my teqth," Lotsabucks - commanded. "I want to whistle."

Joe had never heard: of the famous tenor, and he sid- led up and whispered to a stage- hand: i "What does he do?" The stagehand looked astonish- ed, then: replied: "He's a singer."
