If your husband is the kind that enjoys last-minute dates, he should be more con- siderate of the strain they im- pose on, you. - The male animal surely can be aggravating »in small ways, and his thoughtlessness is. as "trying as if it were deliberate. It 'would be simple for your husband to say at breakfast that he'd like to go out to- night; even if he telephoned after lunch, you could find time for those little touches to your appearance that give a woman the self-confidence so important to her morale. | Answering your query. men are not all alike, Most of them are inured to a woman's need to "primp," and from long experience ( and the im- pulse to be kind), they have learned to put up with it pa- tiently. When your husband, for instance, is so tactless as to admire others, you be forgiven if you remind him that those girls probably took a full hour to freshen up and dress for the occasion, as you did when he was calling for you. It is the little things that matter in marriage. Here is one small fault, yet how far- reaching its consequences! ® ee ee Oe 8 0 ew how simply he can correct it, and how you would love him for it?

Stops Family Rows Science has perfected a won- derful new way of patching up quarrels that sometimes take place"between newlyweds. In- stead of rushing off to her mo- ther for sympathy, the tearful young bride merely has to play - - over the gramophone record of her wedding. This usually has a magical ef- fect. Listening once more to the - solemn. ceremony - and the sin- cerely uttered "I wills," she quickly forgets the silly quarrel which has led to a .temporary rift and welcomes hubby with open arms when he comes home from work. .

' When the Horse Ruled the World If a neatly adjusted time ma- chine could take you batk to the Main Street of an American town in 1900, to look about you with your - present-day eyes, your first exclamation would 'probably be, "But look at all those horses !"" For in that year, 1900, there were registered in the whole United States only 13,824 auto- mobiles (as compared with over 44 million in 1950) and they were really few and far be- tween except in the larger cities and the well-to-do resorts. . . . There 'were almost no paved © highways outside the cities, and of course there were no road- side 'garages or filling stations; every automobilist 'must be his own desperate mechanic. Prob- ably half the men and women of America had never seen a car. When William Allen White organized a street fair in Em- poria, Kansas, in 1899, the auto- mobile which was brought there for the occasion--and proved to be the most exciting exhibit of the fair--came from Chicago by "rail; it was the first automobile ever to have crossed the Mis- souri River. But horses were everywhere, pulling surreys, democrats, bug- gies, cabs, delivery wagons of every sort on Main Street, and pulling harvesters on the trac- torless farms out in the country- side.--From "The Big Change," by Frederick Lewis Allen. Four-Cornered Eggs in Plastic Imagine buying your fresh eggs in rectangular shells -- or, actually without shells -- eggs which, in all probability, will cost less, and will keep fresh longer. ) Sich are the so-called "naked "eggs," now being sold in 12- compartment plastic packets and tested for consumer reac- tion in several selected retail outlets in Ithaca, N.Y. Tr Even though such . plastic containers sold at a five-cent premium over other types of cartons, they accounted for as high as 47 per cent of egg sales. The same type of 'test was repeated in Maine, with slight- ly over 'half the eggs sold in" plastic cartons at the five-cent premium, clear proof that many persons like to see just what they are buying, and are will- ing to pay extra for the privi- lege of doing so. The 12 compartments in the packet, each holding an egg, or two, measure two by three inches, and are about quarters of an inch deep. A machine breaks open the eggs and drops them into the indi- vidual compartments, which are then sealed by a machine with strong film. No hands touch the eggs at any time. The new shell-less eggs pro- vide many advantages beyond settling the '"egg-old" question of which are best--the brown- shelled or the white - shelled 'variety. The. plastic "shells" are perfectly transparent and color- less. The 12-egg packet occupies about half the refrigerator space of the conventional divided cardboard cartoh which it is de- signed to. replace. Egg breakages are "zero," since they've been broken. The new package also offers a real opportunity for increased sales of pee-wee eggs, for two of these may be placed in each compartment, thus making a "double-yolked" egg available cut 'to already --- three- top of thé compartment. to consumers at about the large- egg price. . Normally, pee-wees' are' more "difficult to sell for home use than medium or large eggs. Although the 'naked eggs" can be kept without refrigera- tion, they "will remain fresh longer if refrigerated, accord- ing to Prof. L. B. Darrah, of Cornell University, who devel- oped the idea. There's also the added con- venience of not having to dis- * pose of egg shells, and the housewife's work is streamlined still' further by her ability to . boil or poach the egg right in the sealed plastic containers. After cooking, the top film is removed, and the eggs may be eaten right from the container, thus saving dishes. . When the eggs are separated for cakes. icings, or souffles, the whites may be drained off merely by cuffting a hole in the The eggs must be removed from the , container, however, for frying or scrambling, or when they are used. for other cooking pur- poses. : This new egg package is just one of the newest developments in rigid plastic containers, use of which, it is predicted, will . increase from five to 10-fold in the next five years. } Modern Etiquette... "By 'Robert Lee Q. Is it all right for a man te remove his glove to" shake hanks when being introduced. A. Yes, if he can do so quickly and without making it too ob- vious. He need not, however, de- lay the introduction and it is in good form for him to shake hands with his glove on -- -nor does he have to apologize for it. Q. If one fails to hear a name in an introduction, is it all right to ask the one who is making . the introduction to repeat it? A. You should address your question to the person being in- troduced to you, as, "I'm sorry, but I did not hear your name clearly." Q. Is it always obligatory to make a call: on a good friend who has been bereaved? A. Yes. A brief note of sym- pathy is sufficient before the funeral, and a call of condolence should be made soon after the funeral. ' Q. Is it all right to ask, "Who is this," or, "What number is this," when making a telephose call and someone answers whose voice you do not recognize? A. This is too often done, and it is extremely ill-bred. The correct thing always is to ask for the person with whom one wishes to speak. : Q. If one is attenling church services that are not familiar, should one copy the movements of the members of the congrega- tion, or just remain stationary? A. Do what the others do, and you will show more courtesy and will be less conspicuous. : Q. When is the spoon for the after-dinner coffee the table? 4 A. This spoon is brought in with = the coffee' when it is served. Q. What is the correct size of the place card at a dinner? A. Usually about two inches long and an inch and a half high. It is usually plain white, it may be embossed in white or gold with a monogram or crest, Place cards are. inscribed In longhand. ' ISSUE 11 -- 1956 placed on Wats "UHRONICLES ARM Clarke "Ginger I wondered when we, in this corner of the globe, would start hearing about storms on the sur- "face of the sun. Quite a while' ago I read in arf English maga- zine that our little planet was likely to experience a series of atmospheric disturbancgs be- cause of' these solar storms. - Well, judging by last week's weather the series seem to have started all right -- and we don't care how soon they quit. Actu- ally, the weather is fine just now. I have just come in after Jommning around and the air was ovely, crisp and cold, and birds were singing as if they were confident the storms were over and good weather on the way. Here's "hoping the birds are right. Nobody wants a repetition of last Friday's freezing rain. Of course I had to go down town that day -- to a funeral, no less. For that little trip, I called a taxi and got a ride home .with a neighbour. I wouldn't -let our neighbour drive me up' the lane because I was afraid he might slide into the ditch. So I got out of the car at the road, and there 1 was, absolutely scared to take a step, Farther up there was crunchy snow either side of the lane -- if I could only get to it. But that was a big 'if'. And then I saw Partner coming down the lane to meet me. Was 1 ever glad. I might have been on the ice yet if he hadn't ap- peared on the scene. , Before the ice storm there was quite a bit of activity around here what with visitors, insur- ance agents and real estate men . coming along trying out their persuasive powers with Partner. And while the weather was good our barnyard. population was considerably reduced. John- ny rrived-one day and took his four heifers back home. The' next day we sent a veal calf to market, and then we got an- "other one to take 'its place, The hens were laying particularly well but because of the icy roads the egg man did not col- lect the eggs. Can't say that I blames him -- after all - who would want to take a chance on sliding - off the road with =a truck-load of eggs? And then, as if the ice-storm wasn't enough to deal with our cats and dogs got 'into trouble -- just to re- lieve-the monotony, I suppose. It was this way: Black Joe picked a fight with a stray feline up in the barn and between them they upset a small open can of crank- case oil all over themselves -- oil that Partner uses to paint the hen roosts. And then .Joe came t6 the house for sympathy and first aid! Now I ask you -- what could a person do for a poor _liftle pussycat plastered with crankcase oil? It couldn't be washed off. Coal oil might have helped but what would the coal oil have done to the poor cat's skin? The best I could do was to rub poor Joe with an old towel, And then I had to put him outside because we cauldn't stand the smell of him around. Nor could I have him leaving an oil: patch behind him where- ever he sat. Finally for the next few days Joe did what a cat al- ways does--Ilicked himself clean. In doing so he also made himself sick so that he couldn't eat. Now, thank goodness, the oil has disap- LJ peared -- but so has a lot of Joe's fur. The next excitement was caus- ed by Rusty who ran into the house bringing with him an odour of skunk. Fortunately it wasn't very strong so that with fresh air, and by rolling around in the snow, Rusty got rid of the smell. While all this activity was going on with 'our various ani- mals we had a visitor from Tor- onto for a couple of days" 4& visitor who lives in a well-ap- pointed apartment where < cats' and dogs are unknown, We man-, aged to protect her from contam- ination.

There was -Ter- ° tainly 'plenty for the mind' in that discussion. 'Country Cal. endar" . . . we think it could do with a little less talk and-a little more action, "Omnibus" is wonderful but sqme of the half-hour dramas are positively inane. However, television has a terrific audience so there has to be variety -- always remem- bering that one man's meat is another man's poison, and that - it is entirely up to ourselves whether or not we watch any particular program. Stop Press News! Partner just looked in to téll me that spring i on the way ... he just saw a crow fly over! Now who are we to trust--the crows who think that spring is in the air or ex-- perts who tell us that storms on the sun are going to have a bad influence on the earth's weather pattern for the next few months? It may be wishful thinking but I'll put my faith in the old black crow. After all he has quite a bit of backing- because down town someone was .telling me a robin was seen last - week. Maybe the robin and. the crow had a little conference and -decided that we mortals needed a little cheering up about the weather, ! SLOW--DOWN Harrison met Johnson after several years.
