A happy !slew Year to all the
readers .0f this column. If the
old year treriied you pretty well
may 1954 be even better. Or, if
in 1953 you had more than your
share of wry and trouble, may
the wheel of fortune keep turn-
ing until it brings you better
luck for the future, In any ease
the New Year is always a time
of hope, don't you think? We
may scoffat the old-fashioned
notions of turning over a new
leaf; or making new year reso-
lutions; or that queer idea of a
new year being like a clean sheet
Of blotting paper. Yes, outwardly
we 1nay ridicule old conceptions
of what a new year should sym-
bolize but yet, `deep down in our
hearts, I believe many of us
cling to the old traditions, We
are g1::id to welcome: a slate
wiped reran; we determine that
somehow we will do better this
year than ever before; Porges
grudges and show greater con-
sideration. We even make a few
new year resolutions that we
keep strictly to ourselves. not
wanting to be teased or laughed
at. Ali in all New Year's it a
pretty nice time — cant t ]tree y
when we remember that It will
be 338 days before Christmas
comes again. Wonderful, isn't it?
And don't you enjq, taking
time out at New Year's for *a
quiet little session with your
self? To live again the Christmas
just past; to remember the loo';
of contentment on Grandpa's
face because he was speeiells
remembered. And the children
what will they remember
most , .. toys, Santa Claus, the
story of the Christ Child. or the
Christmas feast? Or will it be
Christmas evening they ren em-
ber, when, tired with playing
they snuggle up on the chester-
field and listen to the same rec-
ord time and time again — a
melody of Christmas carols. And
there was Isabel and Win --- the
- in -sews — who, at Christmas time
forgot their differences after si e
weeks of not even being on speak-
ing terms. And the cards .
the beautiful cards. There is
time at New Year's to read them
over again •- to enjoy the verse::
and the little personal notes
Sentimental, perhaps, but then at
Christmas , , . surely one is al-
lowed a little sentiment at Christ-
mas.
And to those of us who come
from across the seas, we look
back over the years to other
Christmas and New Year cele-
brations. And we wonder . ,
leas'±irohe Wonder!

It was really a golden brown,
And the dressing . . , Mother

Mother's seasoning had to be real
thyme and parsley, dried, but
still retaining its original flavour.
And there was bread sauce,
flavoured with an onion stuck

sausages surrounded the chicken
on the platter. Cranberry sauce
was unheard of but we had tart

tang to off set the rich giblet

Then came' the plum pudding,
dark and appetising, a sprig of
holly on top. and permission was
always given even in teetotal
families for sixpenny worth of
brandy to be purchased to light
up the Christmas pudding. Oh,
the thrill of watching the danc-
ing red -blue flames! And then
came the dainty. individual
mince pies, filled with Mother's
own delectable mincemeat. And
after that there were nuts. candies
and fruit, until we were all, as
my brother used to say, "com-

food. But there weee six of as

New Year's we did not cele-

the Watch Night service. Or,
those of us who stayed at home
would wait up purposely to hear
the church bells ring in the New
Year. It was a joyous sound,
and a familiar one right across
England, from London's West-
minster chimes to every little
village church. We still think
it is a betterway to usher in the

centrated suds harden quickly and fast as longus the tree.

and rowdyism that• passes for

Well, dear popple, the best I
can do now is to wish you all,
once again, a vekgi Happy New
Year. Since this column goes to
press well ahead of time I shall
have to tell you about pur Christ-
mas and New Year festivities at
a later date.
"Dear Anne Hirst: What's the
mat. =.r wee the men nowadays?
I've been working ever since I
married four years ago. Two
months ago I had a baby, and
thought now I'd be able to stay
home and care for it.
"But no! My husband wants me
to go back to work as soon as
possible. He actually resents my
staying home ... It is not that
I have to work; my husband
makes a very good salary. It's
just that I worked for so long
that now he takes for granted
that I'll work for ever.
"Where are the good old-fash-
ioned men who marry a girl and
want her to be home? So many
men seem to expect their wives
to get out and work, (I'm not
Madding those who are going to
college, that's different.)
"How can I convince my hus-
band that I've done my share,
and can stay home now? If I
don't find a solution I'll go crazy.
Discouraged."
Your husband's attitude is
amazing and heartless. Most
men expect to support their
wives, and take pride in it.
Complaints that reach me from
those who marry business girls
are usually that their wives in-
sist on keeping their jobs, find-
ing them more exciting than
any household routine. Conse-
quently, they neglect their
homes. feed their husbands
makeshift meals, and entertain
them with glib recitals of What
happened at the office today.
Quoting from one recent let-
ter, "I married the girl because
I loved her, but I also expected
a real home and children. What
sort of marriage is this?"
Whatever reason a wife may
have for wanting to stay home,
*- the noblest of them all is to

wise enough nowadays to arrive
at agreements before marriage as

What Is Coniong
in Shoe Styles
Everyone likes to peer into the
future. So, we think you' would
like to luntim what's underfoot
for.you next spring.-
The' tanners who produce the
leather that goes into 'bur shoes,
and the manufacturers who.
make then, are always months
ahead of us. And :this year even
more so. That's why we were able.
to get a peek recently at the love-
ly new leather shoes they have
dreamed up for next year.
The big news is' that for Spring,
1954, leather will be lighter in
weight, and lighter in colour, and
shoes using these new leathers'
will be lighter in construction —
beautiful to look at, .wonderful
to wear.
Leading leathers for spring will
be the aniline -dyed calfskin,
glove soft kidskin, supple cattle -
hide, rich glowing velvety suede
leathers, patent an& the entire
reptile family, with special erh-
phasis on lizard and snakeskins.
The most important colours for
your leather shoes and accessories
will be in the pale blonde tones,
the beige, honey and into the
lighter brown shades in the ani-
line calfs and kids. Suede shoes
will be seen predominantly in
black.
For cocktail and evening, you'll+
find every pastel shade in the
spectrum of pale pinks, blues,
greens, yellows, silver, as well
as the glowing gunmetals and
burnished bronzes' in glove soft
kid leathers. These shoes will
double in brass as they can be
worn with your most formal
gown and equally well with your
afternoon woollens, jerseys and
dressmaker suits.
The all -white leather shoe came
back into the fashion picture last
spring with just a whisper — but
by this spring it will be heard
in a loud voice. You'll find the
white shoe in calf and buckskin
for daytime in casual, spectator
and pump designs, and you'll see
it again at night in -lovely soft
kid leather stripping sandals and
sling backs.
You'll see white leather com-
bined with other colours -in com-
bination textures such as white
buckskin with navy, brown and
black calf, in smart town specta-
tors; beige calf leather opera
pumps with lacy white kid trim-
ming around the throat and col-
lar. You'll see white kid leather
stripping sandals worked' with
underlays of brilliant suede
leather designs, studded with
rhinestones or touched with brit- -
liant gleaming black patent
leather,
TH1n1K IT OVER
The finest exercise _ you can
give your heart is when you
reach down and lift somebody
up.
Grandfather Hives
A Swarm Of Bees

and ,lookedswped upthe atbGrandfathereehatout.

from ender hie arm; and was
holding the open end of the
veil around the little hole as
the bees swarmed out. There
were still more bees coming out
Of the hole after the veil had
become a sackful. I'd been so
interested that Pd forgotten to
go down any farther. Grand-
father olosed the mouth of the
veil and slacked his rope off
enough to let It slip a foot or so.
"Go on down, Ralphie( Go on
down!" he told me. "Your old
grampa's got 'ein- Cal'late the
queen's somewheres in the hat"
When he was far enough down
to hook his' free arm around the
ladder rung, Grandfather un-
tied the safety rope and let it
fall. All around lehn, the air was
thick with bees, but he seemed
to pay no attention to them as
he name slowly, rung by rung,
As his foot reached the ground,
he let out a long breath, and
half whispered, "There, by gor-
ry, Ralphiel Guess we showed
'en „what kind of logs makes
wide shingles," He lifted the
cover, and dumped part of the
bees into the hive. Then he
knelt, placed the throat of the
veil before the stoop of the bee-
hive, and stepped back.
"Sit you down, Ralphie," he
said, as he stepped over to a
big stump. "Sit you; down with
your old grampa and let's mark
'em for a spell. Happen I got
the queen on the inside, they'll
all follow her in," .
The sun had gone down: The
sky, through the branches of
the trees, was still bright blue;
but light was spreading through
the woods. A thrush, from some-
where toward. the meadow, sang
her evening song. Frogs tuned
their fiddles in the swale along
the brook. From higher up the
ridge, a crow cawed three, even-
ly spaced, harsh notes. They
were gone for a moment. Then,
when the woods across the val-
ley echoed them back, there was
music in, them. Listening to the
twilight sounds, I'd forgotten all
about the bees till' Grandfather
whispered. "Curious , . , bees.
Mark how they're a -piling up
in front of the hive?" After sit-
ting quiet a few minutes, he
went on. "Was all men as res-
pecting of the Almighty as bees
is of their queen, there'd be no
call for neither jails nor court-
houses."'
"Why didn't they sting you
when you went up there with-
out your bee veil on?" I asked
him.
"Gorryl Why would they?" he
asked. "It's the cool of the even-
ing, and I wa'n't scairt of 'em.
Bees won't generally sting you
lest you're scairt. Cal'late they
smell the scare en you, same as
a dog does." From "The Fields
of Home" by Ralph Moody.

By Rev R, B Warren, ILA., S.D.
Thy ICingdom Colne
Matthew 6:8.10; 28;16-20; John
17:18-21; Acts 1:6-8; Revelation
11:15b,
Memory Selection: The king-
doms of this world are become
the kingdoms of our Lord, and
of his Christ; and he shall reign
for ever; and ever. Revelation
11:15, •
It is to be noted that in the
prayer which Jesus taught his
disciples, the petition, 'Thy king -
done come', precedes 'Give us
this day our daily bread'. But.
how many of us actually place
the interests of the kingdom
above our own needs. Jesus
said, "Seek ye first the kingdom
of God, and .his righteousness;
and all these things shall be
added unto you". Matt, 11:33,
But it is not enough to pray,
We must go and teach. In India
the number of unbelievers is
increasing daily, The population
is increasing so rapidly that the
spread of Christianity is not
keeping pace with it;
Jesus prayed that his disciples
might be sanctified producing a
oneness which would lead the
world to believe on Hint, Com-
plete dedication to God and
purification of one's heart leads
to oneness with those of like
mind. Empowered by the Holy
Spirit it is our task to send the
message of the gospel through-
out the world. The early church
sets us an example of what God
can do through His people. We
need the Holy Spirit to cleanse
the church today from its pet-
tishness and its fault-finding.
Only as we are endued with
power from on high can we hope
to see the strongholds of Satan
overthrown,
The lesson closes with ' -a note
of assurance that the' kingdoms
ofo''this world will become tete
kingdoms of our Lord' and of
His -Christ. Sometimes we are
tempted to wonder if righteous-
ness will prevail. It will prevail,
Jesus Christ will reign for ever
and ever.
SHOCKED BISHOP
When Dr, A. M. Ramsay, Bis-
hop of Durham, interrogated one
of his clergy not long ago, he
found that the clergyman was
unable to recite the Ten Com,-
mandments by heart.' "I was
very shocked," confessed the
Bishop, •
If a hundred adults in . the
street were stopped and ques-
tioned, it is doubtful whether
any of them would be able to
repeat. the Commandments. The
only one that most people know
is the eleventh: "Thou shalt not
be found out," Can YOU recite
them?
