"Dear Anne Hirst:
"For over a year I have been
ill with 'a dreaded disease: When-
ever I speak of feeling bad, my
husband says I atm lazy.
"lie has been
like that for the
31 years of our
marriage. IT e
nags all t h e
time and finds
fault with
everything I
say or do. He
jealous that he
has accused me
of dating my own relatives,
and any man that comesto the
house! He gives me no spending
money; I have to buy all my own
clothes.
"I have raised six children, of
whom 1 am very proud.
"I have worked hard to help
pay for our home, and I honestly
believe I have done everything
possible to have peace. But noth-
ing seems to help.
I've read your column for
years, and have had much help
from it, But now I'm ready to give
up. A WORRIED WIFE."
BEYOND ENDURANCE
* I suppose the responsibility of
* raising your large family is the
* only reason you have put up with
* your husband all these years.
* There does come a day when
* even a woman of your courage
* can take no more-
* Gather your children around
* you, and discuss the situation:
* Long ago they must have Ms-
* covered how callous and cruel
* their father was, so you should
* have all their sympathy and
* moral support in putting an end
* to this unbearable Situation. Your
* physical suffering is enough to
* bear, without being exposed to
* your husband's heartless perse-
* cutions.
* He should' be advised, frank-
* ly, of the nature and extent of
* your disease; your physician is
* the -one to tell him, He will re-
* wind fun that your health will
* deteriorate rapidly unless he
* ceases his inhuman behavior,
* and shows you the kindness and
* understanding your condition

LOVE COMES LATE
"Dear Anne Hirst:
"Last summer a man asked me to
marry him. 1 wasn't sure of myself
{and' I take marriage seriously) so
I put him off. Finally he got tired
of waiting, and walked out.
"Then I knew 1 loved him.
"I have used every opportunity
to be friendly with him since, and
let him realize that I see differently
now. But he is bitter, and wants
nothing to do with me. (1 think he
still cares for me, though). He is
going with another girl now (who
is not right for him) and I'm afraid
he will marry her.
'is there anything I can do?
Or must I just lose everything?
I'm not a child. I'm 25, and
know what I want. SORRY".
* 1 cannon believe this man
* loves you, or he would jump at
* the chance of getting you back.
* If I am mistaken, then he is be-
* ing spiteful—and who wants to
* marry a man who would hurt
* you so?
* I think that what has happened
* is for the best.
* You cannot do more than you
* have done. So face the truth,
* and plan a different future for
* yourself. I am sorry.
* e *
If your husband has turned
against you, your children, who
owe you so much, should be your
comfort . .. Anne Hirst's sym-
pathy is yours for the asking.

Most people in Ontario will
remember the summer of 1952" if
for no other reason than for its
long spell" of excessively hot and
Humid weather. Unless my memory
is playing tricks this weather made
its debut on. June 22 so we have
had exactleea month of unpleasant-
ly sticky weather; I remember that
date—June 22—because it followed
the -first official day of . summer,
when the house was so cool , we
were_ glad to put a few sticks of
wood in the furnace! The next day
—and ever since -what a different
story:_ And the heat is with us yet.
But we have had rain at last, thank
goodness—in fact too much for
those .who have wheat in the stooks.
And in sonue,parts of the.coutltry
the weatherman sent, more than
rain—that we realized yesterday on
our way home from Guelph.
We had been to visit a friend,
lately returned from England, and
since Bob was our driver we did
not stick to the main highways. For
one thing, we went to see what at-
tractions Puslinch Lake had to
offer—we had heard of it so often
but had never seen it. It is a lovely
.spot, especially for those who 'en-
joy swimming and boating. So many
motor -boats skimming their way
over the 'vast ttkpanse of water.
There was also a bathing beach; a
baseball diamond; a race track for
motor cycles; slides, swings and a
merry-go-round for the childrn;
't refreshment booth and plenty of
shady spots, complete with tables
and benches, .for those who enjoy
picnic lunches. There is also a small
admission fee which includes Park=
ing s,.ate,
I mentioned not sticking to the
highways so we were hardly pre-
pared for the amount pf traffic we
met on the narrow township roads.
However, after awhile we discover-
ed the reason. We came to an area
where a freak storm last week had
done a terrific amount of damage
in just a little while. Trees were
uprooted — such huge trees, that
even a bulldozer would have quite
a time in lifting. Telephone. poles
toppled over, roofs blown off and a
barn reduced to matchwood. Just

Hornby district near dere last year.
From the scene of devastation we
travelled on towards Galt and then
by circuitous' means began our
homeward drive. When we were
only about five miles from home
Bob took us up the Mountain—for
about a mile we travelled in creep-
er gear, along a road where two
cars could not possibly pass. The
view from the precipitous rocky
slopes Was well worth the climb—
just so long as I wasn't driving,
said I to myself! We also visited
a couple of gravel ;site where father

equipment necessary for gouging,
