"Dear Anne Hirst: My husband
has been ill for a long time. I've
taken care ot him, also my chil-
dren, and it keeps me going from
morning to night. My problem is
his mother.
"She stays with us occasional.
ly, Then she visits his brothers
and sisters — and tells untruths
about me, charging me with
things I never said ... I like all
his family; they have clone so
much to help out, and are so kind
and thoughtful. I'm afraid they
will take their mother's word be-
fore mine. What ant I to do?
"I've always been nice to her,
and spoken well of her ... I've
said nothing about all this, for
I felt by ignoring it she might
stop her childishness. She hasn't
yet. I feel she is being really
cruel; I have so much worry and
so much work, this just adds to
my burdens.

Answer To Many
Problems — Lemons!
You'd be surprised how often
a lemon is the answer to little
problems that crop up in and
around the home — quite apart
from all the times you add it to
a recipe, sprinkle it over a piece
of fish, or use it as a rinse after
a shampoo.
Did you know that after a busy
afternoon's shopping there's no
more soothing balm for aching
feet than bathing them in tepid
water with a tablespoon of !em -
or juice and a little alcohol?
If corns are the trouble a
lemon will do the trick again, Tie
a small piece of the fruit on the
corn for five nights. Then soak
the foot in warm water and the
corn can be easily removed.
Don't leave the soft skin un-
protected, or another corn might
grow. Bind over it a piece of
cotton wool with "Vaseline."
It a fishbone- sticks in some-
one's throat and all the hack -slap-
ping and pieces of dry bread fail
to dislodge it. feed the sufferer
with a piece Of lemon. It will
get rid of it immediately.
Glazed tiles in the bathroom or
round the fireplace which have .
taken on disfiguring marks can be
made to gluten by rubhing over
with cut lemon. Leave for diteer,
minutes and the nr'.i'h with a
r,ft duster.

February Songster
The tree "sparrows are now
regular customers at most bird.
feeding stations; and on a warm,
sunny afternoon the tree sparrow
will occasionally pay for his
meals with sweet music, . some-
what rasping in tone at this time
of year but still with an unmis-
takable canary quality. As days
grow wanner, the song will grow
sweeter.
Along with this patron one will
occasionally see the field spar-
rows, though ntost of them are
resident farthest south at this
time of year. The field sparrow
and the tree sparrow look, at first
glance; much alike, both having
the same ruddy cap, the same
white wing bars, the same gray
throats. But the tree sparrow is
a trifle larger and he has a sin-
gle dark spot, on his breast, a
single button on his weskit, while
the field spi:rnw• hes no buttons
at all.
Both are need ants, Arid the tree
sparrow soon will be moving
north again. It nests in the ex-
treme north, just below the tun-
dra aloiig the Arctic coast. It
winters on occasion as far south
as South Carolina, but seems to
like this area. The field sparrow
is a less hardy bird, nesting not
much farther north than Quebec
and wintering as far south as
Louisiana.
The tree sparrow at this time
ot year often flies with the jun-
cos. Mixed flocks are seen on
brushy hillsides and in river bot-
toms and working an the weed
heads of old pastures and fence
rows, At the feeding station they
are less skittish than the juncos,
almost as tame at times as the
chickadees. They are always
welcome, doubly so in February
when they begin to sing on a fine
day. Their song can't compare
with that of a song sparrow or a
white -throat, but it is a sweet
song and any bird song is doub-
ly sweet in February. —Frohn
The New York Times.
THE REAL THING
For the past few months rest-
aurant -keepers in France have
been regarding the visiting
Briton with doubtful stares. Why,
they wonder, is he so fussy these
days about his food? Is it a result
of not being able to get all he
wants in his own country?
They still remember the
Englishman who complained to a
Paris innkeeper that the rabbit
he was eating tasted like old cat.
The hotelier was a sympathetic
man, and with the minimum of
delay a dish was set before the
guest.
"Is it better this time?" inquir-
ed the manager.
"Yes—it's good this time." said
the perceptive Briton.
The manager smiled, and ex-
plained: "Because this time it is
old cat."

Weil, I wu.,uc•i no:many
readers of this column went to
the International Hobby Show
in Toronto. Quite a number, 1
hope, as it was well worth going
to A friend and I took time off
last Friday to visit Toronto—and
we had quite a day. ' Went by
early morning train, did a bit
of shopping ,before the crowds
arrived, and then on to the Coli-
seum. It was wonderful finding
All the exhibits in one building'
—so much easier on the feet.
Even at that by 2 p.m, we were
glad to sit in at Mrs. Aitkin's
Cooking School and rest a bit.
Now what shall I tell you
about first? Naturally, if you
were there you don't need me
to tell you about anything. But
ii you were not 'there you might
like to know my impressions of
this Hobby Show.
Leathercraft . . . everything
from wallets to pictures, in tool-
ed or carved leather. The pic-
tures were a new departure and
were most attractive. And there
were boxes of carved leather,
book covers, brief cases, over-
night cases and scores of smaller
articles. There was also a lady's
handbag, beautifully tooled, done
by a man completely blind.
Paintings ... all kinds of them
—in oils and water -colours --
portraits, scenery and still life.
We didn't see many of the futur-
istic variety. There were pic-
tures by Winston Churchill and
Viscount Alexander, our former
Governor - General. Churchill's
were mostly of quiet, natural
scenery—one could easily ima-
girie how it rested his weedy
mind t0 paint them. Alexander's
had more action—and in our
humble opinion, they were the
better pictures.
Pottery , . obviously art from
the potter's wheel is far from
dying out There were .several
wonderful displays.
Rugs ... hooked and braided—
or wool and rags; beautiful de-
signs and shading. What hours
of close work were involved in
the making.
Quilts and crocheted table-
cloths. Not too many of either
but the work was of the best.

Needlepoint and petit .point
a marvellous exhibit. The
first thing that caught my eye
was "Queen Mary's Carpet"—
but I knew it couldn't be. Upon
inquiry we were told that when
the original Queen Mary carpet
was on display at the C.N.E. two
years ago, a group of enterpris-
ing ladies studied it vele closely.
Then they bought a uoloured
photograph of the carpet, and, by
means of a magnifying glass cop-
ied it on canvas, square by
square. Quite an ingenious under-
taking. But there was this dif-
ference bettdeen the original car-
pet and the copy. In the copy.
the background is all one colour '
(you remember, owing to war-
time difficulties Queen Mary
could not always match her back-
ground colours). And the copy
also has all the designs going one
way. Queen Mary, if you remem-
ber, had her squares in reverse
from the centre of the rug.
At this same exhibit there was
a fascinating display of pictures
in petit-point—large and small,
even down the size of ear -rings
and cameo brooches. And all this
work was done by a group of ten
women in the Mount Pleasant
district of Toronto.
Lambert Lodgge ... a collec-
tion of work done by the aged at
Lambert Lodge. This was more
than an exhibit—it was tangible
proof of happy hours of occupa-
tion by busy fingers which must
automatically .have brought peace
of mind to the workers. We all
need to remember that something
to occupy the hands is fundamen-
tal to contentment in old age.
Shell work , .. several exhibits
of this particular craft and. much
of it very dainty and origindi—
particularly: the pictures, clone
with the tiniest of shells.
.Artificial flowers . . in cro-
chet, wax and nylon. Very nice
'indeed. Oh yes, and I evert
found pillow lace at the Danish
exhibit.

Says That Women Should Wait On Men!
Fellows! -- She's Got The Right Idem
Here at last is a fresh slant on
0 titin star's success story: nobody
discovered Corinne Calvet except
herself.
Two o'eloek one morning she
woke up and decided that she
must become an actress. Picking
up a 'phone book, she thumbed
. through it until she carne to the
name of director Marc Aijegret,
She rang up there and then and
bullied him into giving her an
audition, Allegrot offered her a
role in his next picture, but as it
wasn't starting for several weeks
and Corinne didn't feel like wait-
ing -she turned him down.
Calling on another director, she
persitaded his to use leer right
away. The following week she
was before the cameras. If it
sounds too easy, remember that
it all happened' in Paris.
For thelast five years Corinne
Calvet has beer; in Hollywood.
She is married to American actor
John Bromfield, and says with
pride that she now lives like an
American and, wants to think like
one. But some of the remarks
she makes show that she -le still
a Frenchwoman at heart: 1
"A French girl would never
considerasking her husband to
wash the dishes. Waiting on a
man is a woman's job. She should
let him know that it is her
privilege and her happiness to
care for him."
"Few men complain of too
much love,"
"Jealousy is s t u p Id i t y. In
Europe, jealousy is considered an
illness that must be treated by a
doctor."
To meet , Corinne Calvet is a
lively, vivacious girl with the
Continental habit of clutching
your arm when she speaks a
sudden thought. Her favourite
actor is Donald Duck, end her
hobby is fishing.
Hollywood can probably be
criticised for treating her too
casually. ,She has been restricted
in the main to farces and light
comedies, although her appear-
ances in Danny Raye's "On the
Riviera" and the current remake
work, model trains and dolls—
. impossible to mention them all
he detail—but they were there,
from England and Europe, Scan-
dinavia and Asia. And if this
Hobby Show was a brain -child
from the fertile mind of `hate
Aitluns then we owe her a debt
of gratitude. This first show was
good but it is my guess that next
year it will be "bigger and better
than ever."
Leaving the Ciloseum we came
through a district that was like
a forest of television aerials, and
I wondered how much handicraft
was done in homes where there
was a. television set—and if there
was any danger of television kill-
ing creative art. Personally 1
don't think, where a bobby has
already been developed, it will
do much harm, but it may dis-
courage young folk from develop-
ing along the same lines.

A few months ago she sued Zsa
Zsa Gabor for one soiliioh d+liara
en the grounds that she
slandered, Apparently Miss]tad Crbeenabor
alleged that Miss Calvet was
Cockney, and not a native OR
Trance,
But this incident, as one United
States columnist so boldly put it,
"bad all the earmarks of a suc-
cessfulepublidity stunt."
Miss Calvet, by the way, took
her name from a bottle of Calvet
wine, iter father, Pierre Dibos, a
French businessman, didn't want
her to use the family name until
she had proved herself to be is
success.
Last year he wrote to her,
saying how proud he was, and
that he'd be snappy if she'd `overt
to being a lithosdgain. "But r
had to tell him," said Corinne,
"that people know me as Calvet
and I can't change it. The studios
wouldn't let me,"
Not only is she sticking to the
name of Calvet, but since marry-
ing John Bromfield she, has be-
come a naturalised American.
"And I'm duly qualified." she
told me with a twinkle in her
eye. "I'm so busy now that 1 hard-
