sea . Mothers-in-law, present and prospective, often find it difficult or impossible to accept whole- heartedly the girls their sons marry or even get engaged to. The spirit is willing enough, bat they are concerned chiefly with their boys' lifelong happiness, and too often they have legiti- mate complaints. Ong aggravated mother writes: : "I wonder how many other mothers are astounded by the modern girl's attitude toward marriage, The girl my son is engaged to is a nice child and well-mannered, but never in her life has she so much as made a pot of coffee, She knows nothing about cooking or marketing, and seems to think that some miracle will descend upon ner the day they come home from the honey- moon. My son makes an ade- quate income, but it is practi- cally impossible to hire a cook these days at almost. any price!" OTHER COMPLAINTS This mother explains that the" girl is from a well-to-do family, but is completely untrained for her job as a wife. She has never made her own clothes, nor learn- ed to keep house, nor even cared for her own room. She has al- ways had an allowance, aug- mented as she desires.

' * many facets. - * ially indignant because, &s she explains, she herself has a won- derful husband and her son knows the meaning of marriage, "He is as thoughtful of my com- fort as his father, he i§ affection= ate and reliable, He is no angel, but he controls his temper, con- siders other people's rights, and is kind. He can clean up his own room, look after his own clothes, and help with the dishes without, being asked. I know he will be a good husband, but I cannot believe he is getting a fair deal in this marriage." . It does sometimes seem that too many girls these days con- sider marriage as their reason for being, and take little thought of its obligations. Their 'parents insist that the young man they choose be presentable, reliable, hard- working, have a good position with a future, and money in the bank. It is too much to expect mothers to educate their daughters to the idea that marriage is a prize that must be earned? Added to an amiable dis- position "and a loving heart, working knowledge of the practical aspects of -house- keeping; she: should be able to plan and cook nourishing meals, keep her .new home clean and comfortable, and know the value of moaey.

But one night he didn't behave himself, and I sent him away without telling. him why. "Should I have explained? Shall I now? We had never had any quarrels about anything be- fore ...I am so mixed up (and so lonesome) that I don't know the right thing to do. Please tell me. JERRY." The young man knows why he was dismissed. If he had really loved you he would have asked your forgiveness, and given his word that you could trust him completely. Certainly he would not have permitted even one month to pass without trying to make amends. A man in love can make a mistake once, but if he is sincerely sorry he never offends again. You will not want to believe it, but I am afraid he would have found some excuse to avoid marrying you at all . . . I am sorry. It is a devastating shock to realize he did not deserve. your love. : * * * Instead of wondering what kind of husband your daughter will marry, ask yourself what kind of wife she will make the ERE EER REE EEE REE R EER lad. You owe it to her to help prepare for this role--and how she will bless you for it later on!

It was a long time before the sun climbed high enough over the-gorge to warm the camp, and we watched with cagerness a searchlight advanc- ing on us like a transforming ray, picking up grey rocks and autumn.tints in a wave of color that overspread us and changed the frosted grasses in an instant . to diamonds. Red-billed choughs cackled like a tribe of merry jackdaws at the arrival of sud- den warmth, and from the stream came a torrent of song in the wild notes of the whistling thrush, Like whirling snow- flakes, the sun on their white ~wings, a flock of snow pigeons twisted and turned against tne crags, hundreds of them in 'a joyful unison of motion . . . _ At this height of approximate~ ly 13,000 feet the bird life was of outstanding interest. Most birds of the Himalaya tend to have a vertical migration, in 'contrast to the niore normal horizontal migration we are familiar with at home. By mere- Himalayan bird can: change its -season in an hour or two, mak- ing in that short time a change of food supply, habitat and temperature that in other lands can be normally achieved only "PERSONALITY" -- "Sheer per- sonality" and nothing else is what made Francis X. Bushman the "first movie star" and past- generation "pin-up boy" of thousands of today's grandmas, he says. Now 74, the still handsome veteran declares to- day's actors are not great pér- sonalities. They are overshad- owed by the directors' style. by an immense flight across oceans or large land masses. One would naturally expect to find the high regions of the Himalaya almost denuded of bird life in the hard frosts of winter, but either the rhythm of migration is less definite among vertical migrants than among horizontal ones, 'or we saw a great many contradictions. Here, for example, at an alti- tude of over 10,000 feet were three kinds of red-starts--white capped, blue-fronted and plumb- cous--in October still occupying their normal summer terrain. Amongst the scrub there were still plenty of tits and warblers, and a beautiful little orange- breasted hedge sparrow with red legs that sang with hurried song like our own British bird. There were babblers and thrushes, and quite a number of birds I could not identify, including some plain-looking mountain finches of a meally color, Tibetan ravens barked round the houses and ~lammergeier soarer overhead. The latter is one of the biggest birds in the Himalaya, capable of adaptation: to its structure that enable it to live at heights of over 27,000 feet above sea level . .. To watch the lammergeier soar. on' pointe | wings, banking and gliding, each twist directed by the long and distinctively wedge-shaped tail, is to.see an absolute mastery of the air of the great mountains. --From 'East of Katmandu' by Tom Weir.

Beyond turning on the outside water-tap 'a few times they got into very little mischief, although there were -a few scraps. The weather was .ideal and that helped a lot--most of the shouting and laughter being outside and not in. 'As long as his playmates were around David was well content to play outside. But one night when he was alone he came to the house and was talking to his Dad on the telephone -- generally considered _a great privilege. However, this time, the conversation came to an abrupt end as David said ex- citedly----*"I gotta go, Daddy . .. the girls are calling . . . good- bye, Daddy, goodbye!" and away he went. Poor father, neglected so early in life in favor of his son's girl friends! pretty hectic for awhile when David's family came to pick him up on their way to Midland for a two-week holiday. As far as I can see no cartoonist has ever exaggerated the situation that exists when a family with small childrn starts out on vacation. There was Art's car, loaded to the limit--toys, clothes, pro- visions, baby's car-seat, commode chair and the crib and mattress on top of the car--plus two ex- cited little boy passengers and an over-sized cocker spaniel in- side. Well, everyone to his taste but it definitely wouldn't be my idea of a holiday--nor has it been at any time, When our children were small we couldn't have done-it anyway---not with the farm and livestock on our hands. You know how it is, the farm families' busiest time al- are vacationing. But I don't think our children suffered too much as a result, They had plenty of fun with neighbour- children, and with their dogs, cats and kittens, to say nothing of an occasional ride, 16 and from the field on Prince, their favorite horse., No doubt there were times when our children were envious of their holiday- bound playmates at school but we heard little about it, What did upset them a bit was the fact that the children on the next farm could play all the time--they never had any little chores to do at the house or the barn. Naturally we often used to hear "Why do we have to {fill the woodbox--why must we feed the chickens--Tommy and Dick don't have to!"
