My friends were all aston- ished. . . . Now I know it was a mistake; he promised to love me always, but he agrees we were hasty and he is in favor of a divorce, "Before I met him I knew a fine man my own age; he fell in love with me, and when I married the first time he said he was heartbroken. Since my present husband feels as he does, shall 1 give him his free- dom? (I am lonelier now than when we married). And shall 1 look up the other man? I am really -- ALL MIXED UP."

"SHALL I TELL?" "Dear Anne Hirst: I have been engaged to a man I dearly love for three months now, and we get along wonderfully. He has told me about other girls he dated, and why he didn't want to marry any one of them. I've had a lot of dates, of course, and I'm wondering whether I should confide in him, too. * "Nothing very important ever happened to me, but I don't want him to think I am conceal- ing anything. "Just how much of a gisl's life is her flance supposed to know? EUGENIE." *» It is wise for engaged peo- ple to confide any inhibitions that disturb them, for their love for each other often re- moves the cause. I have never, however, believed it necessary to reveal unpleasant experi- ences unles they affect one's marriage. Exchanging ideas on behav- jor and marriage in general, on religion,- budgets, enter- taining, ete. is customary and draws the two closer. Any- thing that will make for a bet- ter understanding them is salutary. Let these topics come up naturally. Don't try to pry into your flance's past life, as you will not expect Him to be curious about your own. You love each other as you are today. Leave it that way. 3 * RE J ¥ PEER EET EE EERE EEE Eas Loneliness. is -..not . reason enough to hasten into a second marriage.

Send order to 123 Eighteenth St, New Toronto, Ont, Quaker Humor Even Quakers can be crochety, and Uncle William, during a long ang cantankerous lifetime, had abused the privilege. Now he was being laid to rest, and an atmos- phere of strain pervaded the gathering. At last an elderly mourner spoke up: "Well, there's one good thing thee can say about William, He wasn't always as mean as he was sometimes." * * * Asked why she had never mar- ried, a Quaker spinster .explain- ed: "It takes a mighty good hus- band to be better than mone." LJ LJ] * A wealthy landowner, passing by a fine-looking farm, was gtartled to see a sign on it: "I will give this land to anyone who is truly content." Recov- ering from his surprise, he thought, "Well, I have every- thing I ned, so 1 ought to be .well qualified. I think I'll apply." Accordingly, he knocked on the door of the owner of the tra an elderly Quaker, and explained © hia presence. "And thee is truly content?" queried the Quaker, ' 'Indeed I am. There is nothing more that I desire." "In that case, Friend," count- ered the Quaker, "what does thee want with my land?"

After reading of your experience with 60 cy- cle conversion 1 feel that our little set-to was as nothing in comparison. Imagine your being left out altogether. That is real- ly one for the book! However, I suppose with such a tremen- dous undertaking we must ex- pect mistakes and faulty work- manship occasionally. That, I presume, we . must overlook. What I do object to is' the prac- tise of the Hydro Commission of sending these men out on a conversion late at night. A wo- man alone in an out-of-the-way farm house might be frightened to death to have someone come .rapping at the door. How is she _ . to know it is only one of the Hydro men? 'She cannot know who it is unless she opens the door -- and that she may be afraid to do. If the superinten- dent in-charge of the job in- tends sending men late at night then the occupants of the house should be notified in advance. This same correspondent de- plores the fact that so many peo- ple think dropping a dog or cat off on the highway is a good way of getting rid of it. She has reason to object as one of each has come to her home this win- ster, She wishes I would say something about it. Believe me, Mrs. F. . . ., I could say plenty. To me that is a callous and des- _ picable trick. And yet, strange- ly enough, I don't beleive these pet-droppers have any intention of being unkind, or would abuse an animal in their own home. They just think by this method the little creature will find a ° new home, knowing full well that few country people can re- sist giving shelter to the lost and friendless. : Some of these abandoned pets . are the result of parents having given in when children have begged for a cat or a dog of their own. Afterward mother finds it isn't such. a good idea after all. She may not know enough about cats to house- train a kitten properly. In the event of a puppy she finds neighbours object to having their flower beds ruined by a frisky little dog. So she appeals to father, unbeknown to the children -- to destroy the poor little creature. But father is too chicken-hearted to give it a merciful death, and he hasn't the sense to take it to the Hu- mane Society. Instead, some Sunday while the children are at Sunday School, he goes for a drive in the country; stops the car near a farmhouse or a coun- try home, drops the unwanted cat or puppy on the side of the road and drives off with never a backward glance. Quite a manly fellow, isn't he? The poor deserted little crea- ture crouches for awhile in the ditch, but eventually moves away, wandering from house to house, or hiding in farm. build- "ings, hungry, lonely and fright- ened, an easy prey to unfriend- Is dogs. When found nobody really wants it -- most people in the country have & cat or dog of their own. If a child finds it, the little animal is lucky. Then someone out of pity feeds the "stray" --- and then it fs theirs to keep. We have one such cat at the barn right now, We think there is something ab- normal. about it, as all it does is drink milk and: sleep, Partner . never sees it watching for mice as the other cats do. And I never saw anything as hungry . as that cat when it first came in off the road. Dogs or puppies, we are not bothered with at all, because Honey has such a jeal- ous disposition, she chases every dog away that comes any- where near the place. Of course we have visiting cats -- cats that come and go -- but visiting cats are different from strays. They know where they. belong, they don't expect to be fed or petted, and eventually they go back home. : Mothers, will you . please think twice before you consent to let John or Mary have a cute little puppy or kitten of their own? Nothing could be more desirable for your wee son or daughter -- .children - should have pets -- but a pet needs food, training and kindness. It will look to you for protection. If you are not prepared to give ' it the care it requires, then don't adopt a pet in the first place. If, in all good faith, you do allow--Johnny or Mary 'to have a kitten or a pup, and then unforseen circumstances . arise which makes it impossible for a to keep it, do remember the umane Society. or your local 'vet' is ready to help you in just such an emergency. We, as hu- mans, were created higher than the animals. Don't let us betray that trust by dropping helpless little creatures off on the road, leaving them to an uncertain fate. And now . .. oh, for goodness' sake! While I have been hold- ing forth on kindness to ani- mals, here's our cat--our Mit- ' taken®the smell out of paint, Painting With The Windows Shut Paint is 'quickest, easiest and least expensive means of- giving the 'house' -- and the housewife -- a mid-winter lift, Until recently, however, painting in winter just wasn't feasible; t odors made wide- open windows almost necessary and slow-drying paints dis- rupted the household for days. But now the chemists have worked three miracles: they've made it easy to apply with brush or roller, and produced paints which dry in less than an hour, An odorless 'paint means that baby can play in his pen while mother paints the nursery. The dining room can :be used for the family dinner the same day it has had its face-lifting. The bedrooms needn't be evacuated while paint odors dissipate, AH the ventilation necessary is enough air to let the paint dry quickly. The housewife with a yen to paint now has a tool which lets her compete with the' experts-- a paint roller which works like magic in the most inexperi- enced hand. It comes in a set together with a flat-bottomed pan propped up at one end. The approved technique calls for pouring enough paint into the pan to cover not more than the lower two-thirds.

A great advantage of this type is that it dries in minutes and .the drapes can go up again half an hour after the job is finished. It goes on so easily, with so little muss, that you can take your time and do.a wall a day, moving the furniture back in place immediately. It has no objectionable "painty' odor, Don't wait until spring to get out the paint pots. In the spring there'll be gardening' and sew- - ing and a 'dozen other projects claiming your attention.
