"Dear ,Anne Hirst: I am des, i want a happy marriage, and I
am willing to try anything.
Desperate.'
Jealousy is a disease that at-
* tacks many husbands who feel
* inferior to their wives and
* Who must have daily proof that
* they stand first in her affec-
* tion, her thoughts, and her
plans. It cannot always be
• permanently tiered; but it can
* be modified by a wife's in-
* creased attentions, by judicious
i4' flattery, by consulting • her
* husband on even trivial de-
* eisigns, and in Other Ways
* showing him that he reigns
* supreme In his home.
* A man's suspicions that his
* wife could be interested in
* other men is perhaps the most
* difficult assumption to com-
* bat. He does not reason, he
* only fears. He believes his wife
* is so attractive that other males
* cannot help but look at her
* twice and, doubting his Mail-
* ity to hold her, he insults her
* by questioning her loyalty.
* You can help diminish your
* husband's suspicions by giving
* him all your attention when he
* is home, and by using tact.
* Refrain, for instance, from
* mentioning that you, saw your
* sister yesterday, Tell your
* mother you will call her only
during the day, Remind your
* husband that you cannot ig-
nore old friends you meet, and
* do not intend to. Encourage
* the children to show their love
* for their father..
* If worse comes to worst,
* you may have to threaten to
* leave him, I sincerely hope
* you will not have to; but he
* must understand that his Jeal-
* ousy is making you miserably
* unhappy and you cannot be a
* helpful mate, nor an adequate
* mother, so long as he subjects
* you to its strain. Some hes-
* bands have been convinced by
* such a threat, and by this ex-
* planation, and have finally
'* conquered their jealousy al-
* most entirely. I hope this hap-
* pens to yours.
Understanding and patience
have brought many a jealous bus -
band to terms. Remember, he is
suffering, too ... Anne Hirst's
sympathy and experience fit her
especially to bring harmony in-
to family life. Write her at Box 1,
123 Elehteenth Stret, New To-
ronto, Ont.
perately in need of advice, I have
been married seven years and
have three lovely children. But
MY husband Is insanely jealous,
"Ile is jealous of the fat that
my sister and I are very close;
he resents my talking so often
on the phone to mymother; he
make a scene if I say hello to a
former elassmate en the street,
He has no cause to be jealous;
he was my first and only love.
I love him so much—but I can-
not convince him of it
"We've had a lot of medioal
expenses the past few years, and
I've taken a part-time job even-,
hags to help us get out of debt, In-
stead Of '.appreciating this, my
husband acessies me of working
so 3 can meet other men! This
is ridiculous, After a busy day,
with six rooms to clean and three
children to care for, I'd much
rather relax at home with my
family than rush out to work If
there are men working in the
same department, I cannot help
it; I do no more than speak to
them,
Always Loyal
"I have never cheated on him,
even before we were married
and he was away in service. His
accusations are driving us apart,
Besides, my love for him and my
children and my religious faith
would never allow me to be even
slightly interested . in another
man. Why can't he see this?
"I hope you can help me. I do
not want to leave him, but I
am miserable and half crazy with
his questioning every move I
make. I don't know how much
longer I can take it. Ile claims
he loves me. If he did, wouldn't
he believe me and trust me? I

Post Office Trouble
A publication called the Wolf
Magazine of Letters specializes
in reproducing unusual missives
of every descripfion. The follow-
ing, sent by a postmaster in 'a
remote Kentucky hamlet to a
customer of the U.S. mails in
Dover, Delaware, was more un-
usual than most:
Dear Sir: The next time you
send toads through this post of-
fice, please see that they are not
only wrapped securely, but car-
ry sufficient postage to cover
possible additions to the mer-
chandise in transit.
I don't know how many of the
darned things you mailed origin-
ally, but when the package burst
this morning there were fifteen.
Our Mr. Denny, who spent the
day catching flies for them, has
developed warts.
If you ever tried to run a can-
cellation machine, you will
realize the difficulty we had try-
ing to stamp your toads. Every
time we tried to cancel one, he
jumped into the money order
department. This place sounded
more like a mill pond than a
post office.
Please remit 28 cents postage
due, and you'd better add 10
cents for a bottle of wart -remover
for our M'r. Denny.
I won't' charge you a cent for
handling because I'm going to
try one of the toads for bass
fishing this Saturday. Respect-

With the aid of a class c•.L sniffs
ing students at Reading Uni-
versity, Dr. G. 11. Cheesmen is
trying to discover just why a
rose smells so sweet or d clogged
drain sq bad.
So richly rewarding are his
researches . that Dr. Cheesman
believes we can soon estabilsh a
Stan d az' d measurement for
smells similar to the wattage

cibels of sound,
With an instrument called the
olfactometer, such chemicals as

In Boston, ter. Repeat .Crocker
has worked out a "spectrum"
of smelling with thirty-two
standard odours. All smells, he
argues, are merely combinations
of four primary: sensations! frog:
rant, sour) burnt and "goaty."
Another expert has launched a
smell society to encourage en-
thusiasts in the appreciation of
smells. A seaside' resort 8onsult-

High in the recesses of the

municates by nerve •misulses
with the brain. Though We
know that the ' radiations by
which we enjoy the stent of new -
mown hay or of eau -de -Cologne
are probably akin to light or
sound, scientists still know no-
thing about the speed or energy
of the smell -waves.
An Australian aborigine can
smell water a mile away. By
contrast, the civilised nose is
untrained and well-nigh useless.
An interesting discovery, made
at Reading University, is that
the nose tires easily and is
quickly saturated by to much of
one smell. Some people have a
good memory for odours and can
quickly -summon' up in the ima-
gination the smell of, say, the
seaside orthe mixed odours of
a country grocer's shop.
Research into smell psycholo-
gy is already proving of com-
mercial use. In a recent test a
London department store placed
two sets of identical rayon stock-
ings on sale. One smelled slightly

manufacture. The other" had
been deodorised with a soft,

covered that the other day when
a travelling salesman who, hap -
'pens to read this column stopped
in with his wares. Apparently
he has travelled quite a bit; knew
the places I had been to—and a

told me of so many, lovely and

a person: You start out with the
raw product and .in.. course• of
time, by, your ownsktijl and
perseverance, you have' jars and
jars of vitamins and "minerals
and such like stored away for
winter use, Then you-take.'them
down cellar, come across a few
more empty jars here apd, there,
and you are seized with an urge
to fill those jars whether you
need mere fruit or not Tomatoes
cost so little, whether you grow
or buy them, and home -preserved
fruit and pickles are so .much
nicer than the factory -canned
variety you wonder that the
stores sell ahy canned stuff at
all. Buy a can of tomatoes and
' what have you"...... about three
tomatoes and a lot of liquid.
The same applies t0 fruit.
Of course some folk get away
from canning by quick-freezing
fruits and vegetables. That is fine
if you have a home -freezer, We
would like one ourselves but at
this stage of the game we think
we can manage without.'We did
rent a locker for a number of
years, and it was quite satisfac-

HOW ONE WOMAN STARTED D A
SUCCESSFUL CANDY DusmESS
The youthful bead et r. sue-
cessfui candy business, Gladys
.Damon Casabona, finds it an in-
spiring career because sweets

plebrii)• hers, Casabotla is her owe
most onthusiestic supporter, exs.
perlmenting, eating, and serving
her 75 vanities of handmade
chocolate eandY centres with in-
terest, apprecidtion, and pleas -
tire.
Daughter of Mrs'. Bertha 'Das
mon, one of Greater Cleveland's
most respected restaurant chinas
far a generation, Mrs, Casabona
comes by her talent and train-
ing naturally, writes Mary Hirsch-
field in The 'Christian Science
Monitor,,
When she was still a teen-ager,
she helped in her mother's . res-
taurant, learning the business!
Mrs. Damon employed a candy
maker, for she handled her own
line of chocolates, and her (laugh-' ,
ter was especially attentive to
the intricacies of that particular
job.
In 1945, Mrs, Casabona, who
had decided to take charge of
the candy department in her
mother's Cleveland Heights res-
taurant, went back to Boston
and New York, for special candy
courses. She also got seyeral fac-
tory jobs to learn about choco-
late dipping,
Returning home she branched
out almost immediately into her
own operators and naturally the
first customer was her mother.
Today, throughout northern Ohio
there are 65 clubs and dining
rooms handling the Damon sil-
ver (white for mints) packages.
People visiting the store are
invited to go into the adjoining,
air-conditioned, spick-and-span
candy kitchen to see how the
delicacies are made and packed.
They are also invited to "taste
one."
Neighborhood youngsters are
delighted with that generous
custom. When they come.. ih to
make a purchase and cannot be
satisfied with what is on display,
they as to look around the kitch-
en for something ease and, •,of
course end up sampling.
There are from 18 to 42 em-
ployees, depending upon thesea-
sen, including six chocolate dip-
pers and three packers. They
use 700 pounds of sugar weekly.
Every -two months a new
confection is put on the market
The .two latest are black walnut
creams andalmondpaste mixed
with vanilla cream. and a little
cinnamon.

others. Mrs. Casabona always

about 125 pounds are made daily.
The acquaintance, unkhc`wn to
her at first, was a quiet man who
took an hour's street -car ride
one day tr show her, now to
make marshmallow. An ., em-
ployee of Mrs. Damon's had told
him how her daughter was star%.:'
ing out, so he came' td ofter'a bit
of help
Wartime rationing was -still
in force but when he asked ,for.
'25 pounds of sugar, it was hand-
ed to him .--- net, however, with-
out misgivings,
She watched him attentively
and when he was through every
fiat surfape in the icitolten, ex-
cept the floor and ceiling, was
covered with marshmallow, In
fact the employees had to be
sent home for there'waS no room
for them to work.
Finally the marshmallows gen-
ius departed, Mrs, Casabona
looked at Mrs. Damon and ask-
ed, "What will I do with all this
marshmallow?"
"Cover with chocolate," was
the prompt reply, and so the
best seller came into being, At
present it can be had with toast-
ed co, cput or, in vanilla, pepper-
mint, and pineapple flavors.
Employees,areencouraged t0
invent new concoctions and
when they do and one passes all
tests, the sueeessful inventor is

THE REASON WRY
A SCHOOL inspector was
questioning some boys. "Can you
take your warm' overcoats off?"
"Yes, sir. b
"Can the bear take .his warm
overcoat Off?"
"No, sir."
"Why not."
This poser met with a long
silence. Finally a little fellow
spoke up, "Please, sir, because
only God knows where the but-
tons are.".
THE MORAL
A MINISTER ` and his wife
were discussing two men who
were in the news.
"Yes," said the minister, "I
knew thein both as. boys. One
was, a plover, handsome fellow;
the' ether a steady, hard worker:
The clever lad was left behind
in the race, but the hard worker
well, he died and left sixty thou-
sand pounds to his widow. It's .
a great moral, you know,"
"Yes," replied his wife, with a
smile, "it is. I heard this morn-
ing that the clever one is going
to marry the widow."
