certainly make a big hole in the
food, budget to keep a large
family supplied with fresh. Vega,:
tables or to buy the amount Of
pickles and canned or frozen
vegetables that a garden would
supply. But for two . Partner
says it is hardly worthwhile.
Maybe he is right but on the
ether hand It is very nice to get
your Vegetables straight from
the garden . beans that are-
crisp and green; peas tender and
swot and beets that are nulled
before they have a chance to
get "woody". And of course one's
family doesn't always stay at
two — there are bound to be
visitors every so often, So I
always say, never mind whether
it pays or not, at, least let us
have small garden. So we us-
ually end up by putting in is
few vegetables — but here
have to admit it is generally
Partner who does the hoeing!
Now when it comes to fruit
we don't do any worrying --
we' just take what nature pre-
vides op our farm and let it go
at that. We have early Rich-
mond cherries that provide
plenty of competition between
us and the starlings and robins.
.Our apple trees are old and
wormy, the aearly apples ere
plentiful but not very big. SO
pick up the windfalls, split
them in half- cut off the bruised
part and then cook them, skin*
cores and all: When done they
go through a rotary colander,
sugar is added to the pulp ---
and there's ' our apple sauce,,
Plenty pf it• too as it is a messy
job so I always do a good batch
while I'm at it.
Next week—the answers to a
few questions, about my trip, to
the Old Land, from notes taken
along -the .way.
BY ROberte'Lee
COMFORTING !
While I was in England my
only complaint was that I was
never really warm enough for
comfort, Since I returoede to
Canada 1 haven't had any rea-
son to grumble on that score!
For a whole week our theme-
meter registered a high of frOm
90 to 98. I would gladly have
changed a little of our Cana-
dian heat for L'oglande fresh,
cool breezes, However, today
the weather has been just per-
feet . . . may it ,so continue.
Now, maybe I shall be able to
get caught up on the extra work
that has accumulated during my
absence, and which I have been
promising myself I would do
"just as soon as it gets a little
cooler,"
It seems so strange not to
have the cows around any more.
I am not used to it even yet.
Of course there is a lot less work
for Partner, and much less worry,
for me. By now the heat and dry
dry weather would have meant
a falling off in milk production,
and probably a shortage of
-water. As it is there -is enough
of everything for the ydung
cattle — not to Mention our One
dry cowl Partner lead every in-,
tention of selling thou same cow
later on but now he thinks' per-
haps he will keep her as she is
due to freshen in September,
which -means we should have
milk for the ,house once again.
Not having the cows to. worry
about is One thing, but having
to buy milk as something else
again, I never.realized until now
how little milk there is In- a
quart bottle. If 'Partner and I
have one 'good drink there is
hardly ,enough left for the cats.
-Now how does this ,farm milk
''•Versus realy 'Work
out, I wonder? Just for fun,
let's figure it out.
Supposing we sell the cow,
maybe for $180. That $180
would , buy us quart °fa mine
every day for tweney-seven
months, at 22 cents a quart. At
the end of that `time there would
still be no prospect other than
to buy more milk,.•
But if we keep this cow and
she produces a calf and there-
after gives a normal supply of
milk, then we could have two
quarts of milk a day for the
house for at least nine months,
which at the present retail level
would be worth $118.80. In ad-
Aition to keeping the house sup-
plied the cow should give
enough milk to raise three veal
calves, two of which we would
naturally have to buy. When sold
the calves should realise ap-
proximately $50 a piece. At the
end of her lactation period we
could, if we wanted to, sell this
same .eOw on the stock , market
and probably still get $120 for
her. So our cow would bring us
in a total of $388.80 less her
feed, which for one cow wouldn't
amount to very much, possibly
$100 or $150. Sot since we
wouldn't be paying it out in
hard cash we would hardly be
likely to miss it. Of' Mute these
figures may. not agree with the
way farm . economists might
work things Out — it is merely
the way this farmer's wife looks
on' the situation after buying
milk by, the quart.
While we are on the sub-
ject of home production and con-
sumption, how about a vege-
table garden? Is it better he buy
what you need or grow your
own — and this applies to othere
besides farmers. The way we
figure it out it depends upon
the size of the farniy. It would

GOLF PROBLEM
Surgeons in Germany recently

lovely Fraulein's nose—bitten off

The pair quarrelled over a
kiss at a village fair. It was given
by the maiden to another young

When a Wanton becomes really
jealous, strange things can hap-
pen,
Quite the handsomest player
in a French orchestra was a cer-
tain young saxophonist. The
gips fell foe him, especially a
pebvoeative midinette whose
slim figure was often held by
his roving eye at dances where
he played.
They met. They became mut-
ually infatuated. But after Ogle,"
teen months he began to. tire of
her, rneinly because of' her, leas-
es-ion for smart clothes which he
found expensive. So he drOpped
her. '
Months passed. He met another
lovely who was, he thought, more
intelligent, more4musical, more
understanding than the other
fashion-conscious girl, He pro-
posed and the wedding date was
fixed.
It was a gorgeous day with the
sun slanting through• the church
windows as he led his bride to
the altar in the presence of a big
congregation.
Suddenly his former sweet-
heart, superbly dressed as usual
but with eyes burning with hat-
red, aPpeared. She ripped the
startled bride's veil from her
and tore it in pieces, shouting:
"You have stolen the man I
Before anyone could stop her,
she slashed at the bride's wed-
ding dress with a penknife and
then struck her in the face,
blackening her eye.
Court proceedings followed
and she, was charged with as-

all the.""eviderice he quoted the
well-known, 1411ell /hath no fliry

discharged ,the prisoner after

doctor's bill.
To prove her love for her hus-
band and to calm his jealousy
because men were continually
admiring her beauty the young
auburn-haired wife of a rich
Swiss manufacturer disfigured
`herself with acid.
These facts' were revealed in
court when the wife's mother
summoned her jealous son-in-law
for alleged cruelty towards his'
wife.' '
"I could not prevent men from
admiring my beauty and, from
complimenting me about it,"- the
wife told the court. "But in fu-
ture I know that 10 other man
will look, at me—and I shall be
happy." The "case was dismissed '
and husband and wife reunited,
The ideal lover is never jeal-
ous, we're told. Perhaps not. But
it's significant that most of the
great lovers of history have been
jealous.
So- jealous was an AUSti:aan
whose beautiful wife was 'a night
nurse in a hospital, that he bit-
terly resented' the'fact,that her
job brought her into contact
with -men.
He therefore staged fake rob-
beries at their flat, paying a pro-
fessional burglar to steal all
her pretty dresses, her Under-
clothes, shoes and stockings and
even the cheap jewellery she
sometimes wore.
But the burglar let the hus-
band down. He confessed his
part in the jealous husband's
conspiracy. Result: both hus-
band and burglar were sent to
prison.

Q. Is it ever permissible for
the man to walk on the inside
of the pavement when accom-
panying a woman?
A. Only if they are inakirfg
their way through a.rough, jostl-
ing crowd, and the man can bet-
ter protect the woman by keep-
ing on the inside.
Q. Which is the correct form
of introduction, ;`Mrs. White,
this is my husband," or "Mrs.
White, this is Mr. Walker"-
A. The correct form is, "Mrs.
White, this is my husband."
4. When should the bride-
groom, give his gifts to his best
man and,ushers?
A. Usually, these gifts are put
at the men's places at the bach-
elor dinner.
Q. If a man, is accompanying
a girl who is driving her own
car, should he make an offer to
do the driving?
A, It would be better not.
Some women are sensitive about
their driving and might think
such an offer reflects on their
ability to drive. Of course, if the
woman suggests that he drive,
then it is all right.
Q. Some of my girl friends,
who have become engaged re-
cently, have given their fiances
engagements presents. Is this
a new custom—and proper?
A. This is neither a new cus-
tom nor necessary. There is no-
thing improper about it, how-
ever, if the girl wishes to do so.
Q. It a man offers his hand
first to a woman, upon being in-
troduced, 3vhat should she do?
A. She should accept it, of

contributions towards the gift,
asking this person to thank the
others.
Q. Is it necessary for a hostess
to rise *hen greeting a guest

A. Yes, always. A hostess is
very discourteous who does not
rise to greet every guest.
Q. Is it 'all right to use the
telephone 'to, acknowledge re,
ceipt of a gift?
A. A sincere, personally writ-
ten note of _thanks in much
