"Dear Anne Hirst; I'>Ie heard
that only the perfect man is a
woman's first husband, but I
never dreamed it would happen
to me. Six years ago, at 55, I
married a widow 10 ye a r s
younger. She is forever praising
her deceased husband, how won-
derful he was and how much
more he did for her than 1 do.
It is getting me down.
"She has reason to complain. I
lost my health, and I cannot pro-
vide for her as 1 hoped to do;
I feel I'm a burden, and had bet-
ter get out. I am sure she doesn't
love me at all, but though she
is -so unkind 1 still care a good
deal for her.
"Do you think we should
divorce? Or what advice can you
give?
DISTRESSED".
. During the years when you
* want security and domestic
* peace, you are depressed by ill
* health and the knowledge that
* you are inadequate as a pro-
* vider. The victim of a nagging
* wgman who descends to a
Hot Tamale — Spicy, vivacious
Sarito Monteil keeps the boys
south of the border from dwell-
ing too much on the charms of
American movie actresses.
* cheap trick to keep you under
* her thumb, you live in turmoil.
" I do not wonder you feel like
* walking out.
* ' Divorce is naturally your
* first thought; but that is not
* easy to obtain, and it is costly.
* You could probably prove
* mental cruelty but that alone
* would not be sufficient.
* Would your wife rather you
* leave her, or stay? She is dis-
* appointed in her mariege; she
* thought she was to be taken
* care of to the rest of her life.
* Instead,' `she finds herself on
* the supporting end, more. or.
* less, and she resents it. She
* may be deliberately driving
* you to desperation so you wl11
* leave; on the other hand, she
* may be one of those creatures
* who finds her one satisfaction
* in berating and belittling you,
* and would be even more un-
* happy living alone,
* When you feel up to it, sug-
* gests that she might be more
* contented without you, and
* tell her that her continual
s taunting you withfailure is
* making you so miserable you
* would be glad to go. I think
* she will not hesitate to speak
* the truth. From all you write,
* it does seem that she has lost
* what affection she once had;
* yet one would think she could
* find some tenderness for a sick
* man who has done the best he
* could.
* Wouldn't you be happier liv-
* ing with a congenial family?
• Since you still have a small
* income, that might be arrang-
* ed. Put her to the test, settle
* the future, and end this wear-
* ing uncertainty.
*
One marries for better or for
worse. If you are disappointed
in your husband, remember your
vows and try to keep them.
Then, whatever happens, you
need not reproach yourself.. .

WHAT A GIFT!
"I'm afraid, doctor," said Mrs.
Brown, "that my husband has
some terrible mental affliction.
Sometimes I talk to him for
hours and then discover that he
hasn't heard a word."
"That isn't an affliction
madam," was the weary reply
"That's a gift."

"Scrap" May The
Ton From Royal
Castle
'Just over a hundred years
Balmoral Castle in Aberdeen-
shire has lasted as a favourite
Boyal residence. The estate was
bought in 1852 by the Prince
Consort, who at once set to work
to plan a house for Queen Vic-
toria. Now it has been practis
Cally abandoned by Queen Eliza-
beth, who will not spend nearly
as much time there as hereto-
fore, In fact, of late there have
been persistent rumours that the
Queen intends to sell it.
Some time ago Balmoral saw
its biggest spring-clean. The
aount of "scrap" removed from,
the castle amounted to seven
tons. Cellars and storesgave up
their useless cooking. and serv-
ing paraphernalia, which had
been unemployed for years.
Teapots and coffee-pots, sauce-
pans and frying -pans were
loaded on to two huge lorries by
Mr. George Stewart, of Huntley,
in Aberdeenshire. The price
was not revealed by the pur-
chaser.
But this mighty clear -out was
surpassed by Edward VII at
Windsor Castle when he came to
the throne, He made a thorough
job of it. All kinds of curious
relics were found in unused
rooms where they had slept
amid their cobwebs for -un-
counted years. In one cornet of
the castle was a heap of primi-
tive saddlery. Nobody knew
anything about it. At last an
ancient retainer indentified the
quaint horse -furniture as an an-
nual tribute from the king of a
tribe in some obscure corner of
the Empire.
Another "find" was a mass of
lithographed portraits of Queen
Victoria. These were intended
as presents for subject princes.'
Skins, savage weapons, . and
other gifts from outposts of Em-
pire lay mouldering in corners.
It was a long but interesting job.
NICE EASY JOB
In New York there's a man
who gets a regular wage for
lying down on his job. He's the
boss of a trouble squad sent out
by the Broadway Maintenance
Company whenever a New York
resident complains because a
street lamp is shining in his
window, and keeping him awake.
Cure is to put a shield on the
light to deflect its rays away
from the window. The squads
boss lies on the complainant's
bed and directs the electricians
until the shield is placed cor-
rectly.

' Last week I was telling you
about the Officers Conference at
Guelph but 1 forgot to tell you
that at these W.I. affairs 1 se
Often meet readers of this col-
umn — different ones from time
to time. One reader' I was talk-
ing with last week came from
near Ottawa and I was so
amused at this little story she
told me. One . day .last fall a
neighbour phoned her and said
"Well, its come!" ' `-That's
come?" was the obvious , ques-
tion. "The baby, of •.course.
Haven't you read "Ginger -Farm"
yet?" So David's arrival seems
to have been quite an event to
others besides his immediate
family, And then I always get
this — "Let's hear more about
your grandson — you don't say
half enough." Well . . I never
expected you folks to be so in-
terested. But you asked for it,
so here goes — sorry I couldn't
work it in last week.
It was Mother's Day and Part-
ner and I were just going to sit
down alone — Bob and Joy, we
knew, had gone to Niagara, and
we didn't expect the Toronto
folks. Then a car drove in. Out
of it came Dee, Arthur, David
and two friends, Bill and June
— plus part of the baby's buggy,
bottles, baby f o o d, diapers,
nightie, shawls and blankets.
Cigars for Partner, chocolates
for me and cooked ham for sup-
per.
After the excitement had died
down and David had been fuss-
ed over and admired then
Daughter told Grandpa with
great glee — "Look, Dad —
David's got something y o u -.
haven't got!" "All right," . said
Partner, "so what? He may have
a couple of teeth but I've got
more hair than he has anyway!"
David has also put on a few
pounds — twenty pounds at six
and a half months .. . and yet
he isn't fat. The poor finite was
tired and fretful for awhile —
much to his mother's . disgust
But, rested and fed, he was soon
laughing and cooing again
chuckling with delight when-
ever one of the dogs Came near
him. They stayed until about
eight o'clock so we saw David in
all his; moods — good, bad and
indifferent. Daughter also in-
fermed me that her troop of
Browniee is camping out for a
week -end in July. They want
her to go with them so would I
like to have David for the week-
end? Would I? I shall he able
to answer that question better
latex not It is a long time since
I had ,tiler charge of a baby but

will be elerig as moral support.

haw already been sown That
er fn rt,nate• as we had really
teen wandering icI how many
kart fertilizer had been refitting
around, and how many hags of
treated Spring grain was wait-
ing to bre mown. Fertilizer
doesin't take kindly to a a long
spell of damp weather and
treated grain is no use as feed
for chickens if it should hap•
pen that it can't be used ler
seeding. And yet ever since
January, by press and radio,
farmers have been urged to "or-
der fertilizer now ... treat your
grain early and be readyfor the
spring -Seeding rush. What rush
— can you tell me?
Now if the word 'rush" were
used in connection with sub-
division construction work we
could understand, 'even though a
rush job seems as • inadvisable
in building as it does on the
land. Basements are scooped out.
A heavy downpour of rain in-
variably follows, and yet next
thing we know cement is being
pouried in. Didieet there used to
be an idea that the earth had
to 'settle" before cement was
used? And isn't the term "solid
brick house" a little misleading
when the walls are only two
bricks thick? We just wonder
how 'solid" a modern solid brick
- house can be. Many of the older
houses, some --of them past the
century mark, are from four to
six bricks thick, Not that I
would suggest modern houses
should be four bricks thick. At
the present level of construction
costs that would mean even a
five -room bungalow would run
to about $40,000! And after all
people seem to be quite happy
with what they are getting —
convenient, compact dwelling
units. And I don't think young
couples need to worry too much.
Times change so rapidly . .
people move around, so that a
house very rarely becomes a
permanent home. Something like
the mad -hatter's teaparty — if
and when the diners wanted a
clean plate, they moved on. So
it is with houses and home-
owners.
Speaking of moving arbund
isn't it wonderful our Queen
and h e r family has arrived
home safe and sound? I am sure
we are all very much relieved,
especially after the threat at
Gibraltar.

This Mary Reale
Started Something
There have been thousands of
Mary Joneses in the world, , but
Perhaps the most falnous was
the girl who, many years ago,.
braved biting winds to tramp
from her cottage home at Lian-
fllrangel, clamber over Ceder
Idris's gaunt slopes, and on to
Bala.
There, with a few pennies in
"her pocket, saved through
months of thrift, she sought out
the Rev, Charles Thomas He,
she'd heard, had copies el the
Bible for sale, To buy one was
her drab life's burning hope.
He had none left,
Her tears, flowing fast and un-
dhecked, were his spur. As a
result, this unknown Welsh pas-
tor • became instrumental in
forming on March 7th, 150 years
ago, the British and Foreign
Bibl('Society, Since .then, the
Society has delivered hope and
faith to millions in all contin-
ents.
To -day its agents distribute
Bibles in • 1,130 languages, And
the 'worldcirculation of Bibles,
a .felehundreds a year in 'Many
Jones's day, exceeds an annual '
figure now of twenty-three mil-
lions.
American air power continues
to grow. At the moment it occu-
pies well over a thousand air
bases. In Europe alone, G.T. air-

lie strategically close to Russia's
precious oilfields fringing Batum
and Baku. -
The latest country to admit
G.I. bomber crews and mainten-
ance staffs in return for valu-
able trading conce$sions, is Spain..

"Hi-ya Bud" may be the pass-

Chance Of A
Lifetime
A small island off the coast of
Mexico, San Benedicto, last year
suffered a volcanic eruption that
wiped out almost every -vestige
ofllife. But it has given botanists
the chance of morethan a M.
time.
In 1925 the University of Cali-
fornia had made a full study of
the vegetation on San Benedicto,'
Then there were eleven different
species of plants covering the
whole of the island including
five-foot tall ,grasses. After the
volcanic eruption, only two hun-
dred` plants in all were still liv-
ing' on the threesmiles long
island, and these represented
only five of the eleven previous-
ly thriving species.
Now the natural process of re-
vegetation can be studied. Will
the shores be the first part Of
the island to grow green? If so,
it . will mean that seeds - washed
in bythesea are the main tactor
in bringing plant life to the
island.
But if higher land on hills and
above the cliffs become green
again first it will mean that
wind and birds bring seeds more
readily than the waves,
