"Dear Anne Hirst: I have one
big fault—I'm jealous. I try not
to be, but you know how it is;
little things run in your mind,
and the first thing you know they
are too big to cope with, Talking
Lt Out with someone can help
more than anything.
"My husband works for a com-
pany that employs women, too.
He often talks about how much
fun the men and women have to-
gether, and I can't help but won-
der whether he does. He claims
he never flirts, but you know
how a man loves to he noticed,
and a clever woman can always
flatter them into having an af-
fair.
"And what can a poor wife do
with two small children, a lot of
=housework, and no time to fix
herself up? Welting girls have
Money to spend" on tbemsehes.
The housewife never has a penny
to buy pretty clothes with:
"My husband can be the Life
of any party when others are
around. but at-home he doesn't
exert himself to have fun with
us... , Please help= me.
Worried Wife and Mother."
• .The jealousy between wives
* and husiness girls has existed
* foretwo geno-rations, and it is
* likely to continue—so long as
• wives envy single girls their
* pretty clothes and "freedom,"
* and suspect husbands of phil-
* andering at every opportunity,
* Yet where is the wife who
• hasn't first chance to keep her
* man contented at home?
It's not difficult, as you say,
for a clever woman to flatter
a man; he loves to be noticed.
' I wonder whether you have ap-
' plied this psychology to your
T husband? If a man is the Life
' of the party it is because he
enjoys the applause of the
' crowd; if he gets applause at
' home, he is not apt to fall a
victim to any designing wont-
' en.
' Since you suspect your bus-
' band of flirting with his co-
' workers why not take time out
to flatter him yourself? Build
' him up aslord 'of the manor.
" Don't let a day pass that you
a do not say (or •imply) how
e proud you are of him, how the
* children look forward to his
homecoming. Dwell an his at-
* traetivenes,, and show him you
* are still attractive, too. Instead
* of decrying your lack of spend- i
* ing money, take 15 minutes out
* to freshen up for his arrival, 1
* put on a welcoming smile, and
* make him glad he it. home.
* You will object that you
* haven't time for such nonsense.
* It is really only tact and come
* mon sense; with a little effort
4
you can lighten
e
' rt
en his mood,
make
* him conscious of yourself and
* the children and keep him in
* a Nirvana of content.
* The fact that he comments
* on the fun they have in the of-
* fico indicates, to my Mind, how
* Iightly he takes it. If he were
* guilty of philandering, it is not
* likely he'd mention it at all.
Instead of doubting him, and
* imagining evil where no evil
* exists, be a trusting wife. Your
* best protection is to take it for
* granted that he is entirely loyal
* to you, and letting him know
* you think so. Many a suspicious
* wife has"driven her man to
*• infidelity by sowing the seeds
* in -bee mind.
rknone that raring for small
* children and a home is an ex-
hausting and often a dull job.
* But a wife has to create an
* atmosphere of pleasantness and
* even gaiety in the home; if you
* will spend more effort on this
* angle you will find your hus-
* band more like the man who
• courted you, and a closer ram
* panion than he has been, 1
* don't know of any attitude that
* brings richer rewards.
* I wish 1 could devote this
* whole column today to your
" problem, but these ideas will
* help you if you weigh them
* practically and seriously.
* 4 +t
A suspicious wife can change
a loyal husband into an unfaithful
one; it takes a cad to betray a
trusting wife . . Write to Anne

More important than sewing a
fine seam is sewing a strong .ane.
This means that sewing thread
should be at least as strong as
the fibre in the fabric. Then,
seams and hems will last for the
life of the garment.
Nylon garments sewn with
nylon thread will give better
satisfaction because the thread
and the fabric are equal in
strength., By snatching thread to
fabric, • there,. is little danger of
strong nylon fibres cutting
Weaker threads and causing
sweep to.pop. Nylon Thread also
dries at the same rate -as nylon
fairies,- This eliminates,. the pos-
sfbility of mildew and deteriora-
tion if the''ithread happens to be
still "damp when the garment is
stored.' r '
There are a few' tips home

manufacturers, An .,- increasing
number of these Canadian ,firms
are using nylon thread 'on till
types of" fabfics ' to reduce the
number 'of returns due to seam
failures. Size for size, nylon
thread. is three. times as strong
as..the thread mgst of them' used
in the past, and is between three
and four times more elastic. This
elasticity, they found, prevents
seams at armholes and other
points of strain • from splitting
open. It gives garments made of
stretchy materials, like jersey
-
and crepe stretchy seams s too.
The thread's' extia strength keeps
buttons from falling off and
going astray.
Manufacturers t have also learn•
ed that the send -transparency of
nylon thread cuts dowers on the
number of colors they previous-•
ly had to stock Although the
thread is ayaslable in, some 40
colors, it isn't ahvac necaesat'v

1 , Nylon thread is different from
others and requires slightly dif-
ferent sewing techniques. When
sewing by hand, a shorter length
of thread will help overcome
tangling. Nylon thread should
always he cut with a pair of
scissors. It can be broken by
tugging hard, but this method
will stretch the thread and may
cause the cream to pucker when
the threats relates. When teeing

needle and bobbin threads Lo low

power machines do when they

When sewing a stronger seam,

Every -inut•nisgc 1 use the top
milk from .a quart jug -for our
coffee --milk, that, hes, been stand-
ing for 24 hours to give the
cream •time to rise and thicken.
,As a rule,' it -mikes 'good table
cream. One- day- last- week was
an• exception.- The "dream". was
little better ..than straight milk.
I was puzzled. ," 3Yhat happened
to the milk this Morning?" I ask-
ed.' Partner, "there's heftily any
cream ' on 'it-- -at all." Partner
•thought for -a, minuteand then
he answered, -"Well, I„ guess I
must have brought you Mrs.
May's milk." Mrs. May was the
cow that freshened about ten
days • ago. So that started me
thinking—about • the way Mother
Nature has of keeping a nice bal-
ance, when permitted to do so.
What I am saying will not be
news to farm folk hut it may
surprise a few otbcrs..
It's this • way. Baby calves are
much the same as• other babies --
milk for them must, not be too
rich or digestive trouble follows,
A cow cannot make up' special
formulas or dilute over -rich milk,
so in her case Mother Nature
takes over and provides the cow
with milk teat is low in butter-
fat content—in other words, it is
just right for a baby calf. Ae the
calf gets older the mother's intik
-gets richer. Not only that - but
the normal lactation period for
a cow is nine to ten months —
just long enough to give the calf
a good start in life, or until such
time as it can eat hay, oats 'or
grass. That. was en ideal 'arrange-
ment in- the days •when r_at,lc
roamed at Will and bred and
raised families according to the
laws of nature. Noir', however.
the cow is a- milk -producing ma-
chine, so the; farmer has to space
the arrival of calves and thus
prevent tori many cows from
freshening at approximately the
same time. I# he- doesn't, down
goes the butterfat content in
every eight gallon ,can of milk,
and ahat means a lower milk
price to the farmer.
It is queer.'too, the tet; f:,sh
ions change even in regard to
milk. Time was when dn'.ries
would .advertise "rich, creamy
Jersey milk." Now that same milk
is recognized as being too rich
for young children and tun fat-
tening for adelts. Skint milk.

Halton Centennial Manor is
one of the newest and most up-
to-date homes' for the aged in the
provinces. Those who live there
are well-fed and well -cared for.
That day every room -was com-
fortably warm, although it was
zero outside. Yet there is this
to remember: Elderly people in
this and other homes must con-
form to certain rules and regula-
'tione. Gone is the freedom they
knew in their own homes. in its
place there is a certain amount
of unavoidable monotony. It is
Nes monotony that friends, re-
lc.tives and organizations can do
much to alleviate. 01,1 people
crave to be renrsmbeeed, to know
that •someone cures. little atten-
tions to nusiie them feel they still
"belong"—to their families and
their communities—to prevent .
that out-of-date idea of stigma at-
taching to living in a home for
the aged.
To those who take the trouble
to visit the old folk it may even
be as bread upon the waters, for
many of our elderly citizens have
charm, dignity and wisdom that
comes only in the sunset years
of a full and useful life,
There is another way in which
friends can help. That is to sug-
gest, and encourage, ways in
which older folk can oceupy their
time -any kind of handcraft for
the women, Cards checkers, bin-
go, whittling or light. carpentry
for the men; And in summer—
gardening, Flowers and vege-
tables too, to occupy their time
and interest,. with help for the

If land for this purpose is not
available then the Board of Man-
agement should be approached se
that facilities for light gardening
may be provided,
