Some weeks he dosen't bring home anything, other times over $150; but his yearly average is less than half that. I have done some figuring, but he always insists that a salaried man never gets any- where. "I think it is because when he came home from the war he made a great deal of money fast. It is true that he gambled it all away, but he still believes he can repeat that luck. I have tried to get him to work for a salary for just one year so we can pay our debts, He won't. "For two years now I have held a job, which I took so we could have a little place of our own. I don't mind working, and being alone with" him is worth it, although I would far rather stay home and raise a family. He is a good man and smart with a fine personality, and I know he loves me more than anything in the world. He is 31 now, and comes from a poor family.

Ocean Travel Heavy Next Year Reservations now being placed with Cunard offices across Can- ada for berths to Europe next year indicate that passenger traffic on the: historic St. Law- rence river route will be ex- tremely brisk during the 1958 summer season, the Cunard Line said today. .From April 168 to Nov. 28 next season four 22,000-ton Cunard vessels -- the Saxonia, Iver- nia, Carinthia and the new Syl- vania -- will make 43 eastbound sailings out of Montreal. The Carinthia and the Syl- vania will run between Mon- treal and Liverpool via Gree- nock, Scotland, while the Saxo- nia and Ivernia will sail re- gularly to Southampton via Le Havre. On her April 24 sailing from Montreal the Ivernia will sail to London (Tilbury) via Le Havre and the Saxonia will have the same ports of call"when she leaves Montreal May 8. - On several westbound sailings next season Cunard steamers will call at Cobh, Ireland, to embark passengers for Canada. Calls at Quebec on eastbound sailings of the Ivernia and Sax- onia, introduced this year for the convenience of passengers wish- ing to visit the historic city be- fore embarking for Europe, have proved popular with travellers and the practice will be continu- ed during the 1958 summer seca- son with the same steamers scheduled to stop at Wolfe's Cove. . . dea IN SUNNY ITALY--The famous shape of one of the most breathtaking sights of Rome is the background for languid Cuban actress Chelo, who's known to her appreciative fans as the "Cuban H-Bomb".

Only since visitors have brought modern dress styles'and short hair to Ibiza has a hair- dresser become necessary. There is, of course, the '"barberia" for the men. The country girls still wear their jet black hair parted in the middle and in long pigtails with bright bows on the ends. These bows of flame pink, Medi- terranean blue, bright green, or lemon are commonly said to de- note whether a girl is married or "going steady" or still hope- ful, but local people assured me this was not so, - Now that the younger girls of San Antonio have begun to give up their traditional long black dresses, shawls, and aprons, they have also cut their hair short and need to have it dressed. So a sign hangs out under the balcony in the narrow, cobbled street, It says: "Tonio -- coiffure de dames -- ladys (sic) hair." 1 read it, pulled aside the bead curtain, and climbed the steep, narrow stairway. Tonio's salon than a corridor, about enough for three customers to, sit comfortably in chairs before the mirror. I checked my watch with Tonio's, a necessary precaution on an island where all watches tell a different story and there are no. public clocks. I would return for a shampoo and set in half an hour by Tonio's watch, in an hour by mine. was no more As I climbed the stairs a sec- - ond time, I suddenly wondered where the basins were and de- cided there must be another room for shampooing. But I was mistaken. Maria, Tonio's small daughter, invited me to sit in a chair writes Melita Knowles -in The Christian Science Monitor. She went to a door leading to a staircase onto the roof and fetched a shaped basin apd ewers containing shampoo and water. I put my head back into - this basin and Maria washed the hair, while the "water ran through a pipe from the basin' into a bucket. The shampoo fin- ished, she removed the basin and _ went outside to dispose of the water and polish the ewers ready for the next customers. : Tonio then took over. One customer was still under the drier and I saw. another was waiting with her hair pinned up. A few minutes later Tonio took the drier and passed it onto the next customer. : There was only one drier. Wires from it were connected to - two large batteries on the floor. Extra supplies of fuel oil were poured in for each customer. A bag of white calico was attached to the hood of the drier and this was tied around the forehead, so the heat wouldn't escape. The drier was remarkably ef- ficient" and in 20 minutes each customer cmerged, with red cheeks and puffing with the heat. I had learned the words "mas corta" (shorter) from my Span- ish dictionary so pointed to my thick locks and murmured these words. I opened and closed my fingers to indicate scissors. Tonio took an old-fashioned strop razor and proceeded to shape the hair into the latest Italian style. With deft fingers he pinned the strands into little whirls, and eventually T took my turn under the drier. Out on the balcony, Maria re- moved the sun blind as the eve- ning breeze freshened. Tonio took out the curling pins and dropped them into -a little bas- ket. He combed out the curls. The result was one of the best hairdo's I have ecver had---and all for forty pesetas--Iless than a dollar.

We thought the tea was the fin- al touch to a very pleasant af- " ternoon, But no, as we came away each guest was presented with a carton about 12 inches square, I had no idea what was in it until I got home. Then I found I had been carrying around a regular surprise pack- et -- cake mix, pie-crust mix, jelly and pudding powders, pie filling, apple jelly, marmalade, orange juice, flavouring -- and of course a packet of tea bags.

"My husband is a friction Bast week was a week of sur- prices. It began when we were shopping' in the vicinity of Ginger Farm. In one of the - stores we met a man -- a wid- ower -- whom we had known for years and years. He came over to us and said "I have I waited ~ some news for you." anxiously. He continued . .. "I know you have always been very good friends of Mrs. . . , 50 I thought you might like to know we are getting married next Saturday!" Like to know -- Wwe were over-joyed. Two friends of long standing, both past middle-age, both had had a considerable amount of their separate lives. Now they were to be married. They will enjoy . each other's' companionship for, we hope, a good many years as both are comparatively well and active. Companionship . . . end- ing the loneliness of two sepa- rate lives. Could anything be better? Second marriages late in life are not always desirable, par- ticularly if the parties are not well acquainted: Sometimes it happens that a man -- or the woman -- marries for ulterior motives -- for a home, or a "housekeeper or for a comfort- able income. Tragic family fric- tion is sometimes the inevitable result. But where a widow and a widower, have known cach other for years; realize and un- derstand each other's loneliness, . then marriage seems a most de- sirable solution -- and one that should be welcomed by their grown children. The next surprise was not so pleasant. A phone call from an old neighbour . .. would I come down to see his sister -- she was not at all well. Here was a brother and sister, over seventy, sharing a home but neither real- ly able to look after the other. I found an unhappy situation -- and so little I could actually do in a day's visit. Nor did I feel any better when the poor little soul said to her doctor -- "If this woman (meaning me) -would stay for a month I would soon be on my feet" I came home that night wishing I could be in three places at once as Dee and her family could also do with a little assistance right now. However David will prob- ably be coming for another visit soon and next month we shall have Eddie to take care of.
