RILEY FRY dat d OA nes BRAS) ANNE HIRST | Your Family Counselor. "Dear Anne Hirst: Like 'Un- happy, I married a Mamma's boy and he, too, was an only child. For 21 years we lived with my husband's mother, and in her home I bore our five chil- dren. I want to tell 'Unhappy' that I, too, felt like she does many a time. "But then again, my mother- in-law took care of the children whenever I wanted to go out. She darned their socks, nursed them when they were sick, and in a thousand ways she made things lighter for me. Yet often I felt I just MUST have my own home. "She was ill for a year with cancer, and I took entire charge of her. Since she has gone, there is a wonderful feeling of peace. Believe me, Anne Hirst, though I did all the hard work, I re- member her in a hundred ways for the little things she did for me, "So, 'Unhappy,' when you are older you will not regret stay- ing with your mother-in-law. The feeling that you made an older woman's life easier will be a comfort. "AT PEACE NOW" DUTY REWARDED ¢ It is tragic that most of us * do not appreciate our bless- ¢ ings while we have them.

Then all the "little things" she had done for you and the children swung into place, and-you have missed her as you would miss your right hand. She smoothed your. path in dozens of kindly ways, left you free to come and go as you pleased; she stepped in wherever she saw she was needed, and unobtrusively as- sumed responsibilities that might have proved too much for you alone. All this seemed natural to you, as you took her more and more for grant- ed. Now that she is gone, you are at peace with yourself. This peace is born of the knowledge that when she needed you, you stood by and made her last days more com- fortable with your unceasing care and your increasing affec- tion. *.)

HRONICLES ZGiNGERFARM Gwendoline P Right now 1 don't know from what point in Ontario this col- umn will be mailed. We came up to the cottage at Stoney Lake Saturday morning with Bob, Joy and the two babies -- to get away from the heat -- so we thought. But we didn't -- we found it waiting for us even by the lake. I don't know what the temperature has been but it has certainly been too hot and hu- mid for comfort. Now Joy and I are debating whether to stay here until Wednesday with the boys. If we do Partner and Bob will go home tonight and come back for us Tuesday, staying un- til the following day. Last night none of us got much sleep because of the heat -- and it if- was hot here we are won- dering what it would be like at home. There was rain and a thunderstorm five minutes after we got here. We watched the storm hoping it was also raining over the farms, lawns and gar- dens at home -- and in other parts of Ontario. We visited in widely separated points last week-end and in each district drought conditions pre- vailed. One visit was to a lovely home a few miles from Caledon East, complete with swimming pool and set among the green- est cedar trees I ever saw. It was not just a summer cottage -- it had been built as a permanent home, But how the people have the courage to live there all the year around I can't imagine. No close neighbours and the ap- proach to the property is a nar- row, winding lane from a rough road where construction work is in progress. Mr. and Mrs. . . . are a retired couple and they say they just love it there in the winter. Personally, I would ra- ther live in a built-up commun- ity during the winter -- in sum- mer too, for that matter, with occasional visits to a lake cot- tage, just as we are doing now. It is fascinating watching the various activities on the lake; speed boats creating a swell on the water, some of them with intrepid water-skiers in tow. There are also row-boats and fishing trawlers, and swimmers here and there bobbing around in the water. We have just come in from a row on the lake -- we couldn't stay out too long be- cause the merciless sun was beat- ing down on our defenceless heads and backs. Last evening. Partner and Bob went fishing just after sundown. They didn't catch any fish -- what they. did get was plenty of mosquito bites. Funny, what different night- noises there are in different dis- tricts. Last night 1 lay awake listening to noises I rarely hear. A bull-frog kept up a persistent croaking; two hound dogs were answering each other from ad- jacent "properties. 'Somewhere else an owl was looting, and fin- ally came the buzz of mosquitoes that had found their way into the cottage. 1 covered my head with the top sheet to escape them 'but unfortunately I cov- ered up a mosquito foo.

After that I was able to rest In peace, Another thing I noticed last night was the dark- ness of the night after the house lights went out, At home street 'lights make the house light enough that one can go from room to room without fear of stubbing one's toe.

Powder--Puff Air Derby This is the: way of woman-- or at least<of>J00 women -- in the aviation 'age. Once each year, they shed their household duties, climb into tiny aircraft and, with unladylike abandon, race from one coast of the U.S. to the other, They.zoom .in and out of obscure airports, scream at attendants to fill up their gas tanks, and roar through trea- cherous rainstorms. Since this annual female aerial madness be- gan in 1947, it has become. known as the Powder Puff Derby. Last month, as the thirteenth Powder Puff flight ended in Spokane, Wash. (after a 2,470- mile trip from Lawrence, Mass.),' the new champions were two San Diego housewives 'sharing a Cessna: Aileen Saunders, 32, who has 800 flying hours and had finished 23rd in the 1958 Derby, and Jerelyn Cassell, 27, a student pilot with only 35 hours flying time, ... Under Powder Puff rules the women hayé four and a hal? days to 'complete the transcon- tinental flight. The woman with' the highest" average speed in re- lation to the par speed (based on horsepower and model) of her plane is the winner. Only flying .time is counted. in com- puting the average speed. Along the route, there are specified airports where the girls can 'check in, rest for the night (they fly only in daylight,) and check: 'out. Because all time between checking out and checking in counts as flying time, there is a popular 'theory 'that the race is actually won on 'the ground. Whoever runs the fastest from her plane to the check-in table. saves valuable seconds. - In last month's race, Mrs. Saunders stuck to the flying and let Mrs. Cassell -handle the running.

Apply liberally. Today, public opinion is behind the . female quest for glamor. In the 18th century England, a touch of rouge could have sent a woman to jail! An incredible statute was passed by Parliament, reading in part: '"All women of whatsoever: rank "or degree that shall seduce or betray into matri- mony any of his magesty's sub- jects by scents, paints, cosmetic washes, artificial teeth, false hair, Spanish_waol;-iron- stays, hoops.. high-heeled shoes and bolstered hips, shall-incur the penalty of the, law' ini: force. against witch- craft and like: demeanors, and the marriage upon. conviction shall stand null and void."

When lettuce, parsley or watercress is placed around an item of food as a 'garnish, is it proper to eat this? A. Certainly, it is, if the gar- nish is a part of your individual service. But you should not mar the appearance of a serving dish by plucking out some of its garnish. Q. What apology should one make after a sudden sneeze in public? A. "Pardon me" is sufficient, 0 | Q.
