"Dear Arnie Hirst; I have been
happily married for nearly 29
years to the only man I ever
loved. We never prospered until
lately, but we have always been
in love and have always gone
everywhere together. Neither of
us got past high school, but he
is kind to me, and has high
ideals. He is over 50, I am 42,
"For over a year my husband
has been closely associated in
business with a highly educated
woman. I am very sure she is
in love with him, and I'm afraid
he is beginning to yield. He is
not nearly so affectionate, and
he is hard to get along with,
and doesn't take me out often.
I am not in too good health just
now, and I am uneasy. I know
that men of middle age some-
times imagine themselves in
lova with younger women. To
be truthful, this is driving me
so that I am actually afraid I
will lose my mind.
"I don't want to stand by and
lose him now. I have thotiehr of

About the middle of last week
I thought the main topic of my
column today would be the
International Ploughing Match.
Could anything be further from
the truth? `Hurricane Hazel"
washed out the ploughing match
—literally, and certainly as a
news item. At least temporarily.
But after the story of destruc-
tion north and west of Toronto
has been told and retold, the
loss of life and human suffering
assessed — if it can ever be
assessed — then the time will
come when someone will re-
member the ploughing match
and the disappointment and loss
it brought to so many people.
Partner and I went to Bres-
Iau on the only good day there
was last week. We were only
there a few hours but enjoyed
it. And we thought how well ;
everything had been organized {
The police had perfect control !
of the traffic and parking and
the Bailey Bridge contributed
immensely to the safety of the
l public. We drove home -through
autumn scenery and all seem-
ed right with rite world.
But that night it rained again.
Our concern at the time was
only for those organizing and
attending the ploughing match.
Then storm warnings by radio
because more serious and insist-
ent. It rained and it rained.
At first a drizzle that looked as
if it could either clear up or
get worse. As you know, it got
worse, mucic worse. At Ginger
Fartn the wind blew and drove
•
the rain under the shingles and
down the chimneys. The kitchen
roof leaked badly- raindrops
dripping monotonously into
pails and pans. We thought that
was all the damage in the house
Until I went into the living
room and they around the fire-
place was a deepening pool of
creosote water coming down
from the chimney. The same.

room. I went upstairs—watery

rooms. i O
Partner Caine' in Iran, the
barn .. , the ditch was full and t
the creek was away over the . s
bridge in the back lane. Weather b
i reports were getting more
iserious all the time. Partner
decided the cows would be
safer if left in the barn, At
1 least he would know where
1 they were. If the bridge went
out during .the night he would
have trouble in getting them
home. We spent the rest of the
time up to midnight mopping
up water and creosote and
listening to the radio. To our
immense relief both the hydro
and telephone continued to
function, although soon after
midnight the hydro werrt off for
about an hour and a half. But
we went to bed, so tired we
actually went to sleep.
The next morning , , water
In the cellar, fences either side
of the back lane carried away.
The top of the bridge almost
intact'but the approach to it on
either side just a deep gully,
We were certainly glad the
cows were in the stable. The
barnyard, of course, was flood-
ed. Bob and Art phoned to in-
quire how we had fared and
asked what they could do to
help. We needed help, all right,
but what had to be done had
to be attended to right away.
A temporary fence of post and
barbed wire had to be put up
in a hurry as the cows were
getting restive and needed a
drink. That was, and is, ail
that can be done until the
weather clears and some of the
mud dries up. Fixing the bridge
will be quite a job.
But what were our troubles
compared with the poor souls
in Etobicoke, Thistletown and
'ii'hitby? It just seems impos-
sible that such a tragedy could
occur in Ontario. And that, I
believe, was half the trouble—
no one believed it could happen
despite the storm warnings.
But of course storm warnings
could not avert the disaster.
People have reached the stage
when they pay so little atten-
tion to the weather. I know
there were many people around
here. anyway, who had arrang-
ed an evening out last Friday,
and they set out• regardless.
Seine
may not even have heard
the storm warnings. I have d
niked young people in parti-
cular who have the radio going
hour after hour but at any time
a station finishes a variety pro-
gramme and announces a news-
cast the dial is tuned in to an-
ther station—and more variety!
Well, that is about all I can
ell you about the effect of the
torm around here — flooded

about the worst damage, At
Ginger Farm, except for the
damages already mentioned, we
have fared not too badly—ex-
cept that Partner has an ugly
barbed-wire ° cut on his .. hand
and I have developed quite a
nasty attack of lumbago. This
column is being written under
difficulties, believe me. Lum-
bago is often the subject for
jesting but anyone who has
had it knows it is no joke. And
recovery is one thing you can't
hurry. Patience' is the main re-
quisite — and patience is one
thing I don't possess in any
great quantity—not for things
like lumbago, anyway.

ing errors of grammar in her
Meech. Wouldn't 1t be all right
for one to attempt t0 correct,

A I don't know how close
your friend is, but in many'
cases this would quicltly end a
"beautiful friendship," Strictly
speaking, it is very rude t0 cer-
met another person's speeds,
unless specifically requested to

Q. When a young woman is

stops at her table to chat for s

Woman rise? -
A; 11001 utiles the woman who
stops is elderly. .
Q. Is it all right to stook the
dishes when during a dinner
table?
A. No; the person* who is
clearing the table should take
no more than one plate in each
hand at a, time. .,. e
Q. When unfolding a napkin
at the dinner table, should 1t
be above or below the table? tL
A, Below the table.
Q. Can you please tell me
how to fold napkins into various
fancy designs?
A. I could probably suggest
a few "fancy" folds, but this ,
practice is frowned upon,. by
good society. 'It is far prefer..

A. Either one may do this.
Q. If there is to be no cater-

A. This would depend upon
hew close these friends are and
upon their personal reactions to
such a request. Some people
would consider it an honor to
be asked, while others might,
think it an imposition.
Q. Should toothpicks Ins
