I had to have him arrested for non support of the children, and he was sen- tenced to two years. Until a few months ago I heard nothing from him. "Now he tells me that he has learned his les- son. He said he would set other women alone, and would make a living for me and the children—IF 1 would give him another chance. "Ile broke my heart once I have got accustomed to being away from him, and raising the boys by myself. "Would you give him another chance? Just Blue Eyes."

Blood Will Tell What is claimed to be a foolproof test for drunkenness has been de- signed by scientists at Yale Uni- versity. They call it an intoxication - meter. An individual suspected of drunk- enness has to blow into a tube. From the percentage of alcohol in his breath the macjtine calculates exactly the alcoholic content of his blood. These are the recognized percen- tages of absorbed' alcohol: .05, sober; 0.5 to .15, a little tipsy; above .15, indisputably drunk, While intoxication -meter tests will obviously not help drunks, it is pointed out that they will be useful in clearing people who may be staggering or incoherent for other reasons.

What is wrong with these two introductions; (a) "Miss Jones, meet Mr, Lee": and (b) "Mr. Lee, Miss Jones"? A. ta) I this instance, the wort! "meet" is the jarring note, It is much better to say, "Miss Jones, may I present Mr. Leel." lb) Al- ways mention the name of the wo- man first, so as to prrsrnt the man to the woman, Q. Is it proper to rest the fore- finger upon the blade of the knife when cutting meat? A. No; the fingers should all rest Upon the handle, neeer upon the blade, Q. Should a man bow from the waist as he lifts his hat, when acknowledging a woman acquain- tance he meets on the street? A. No; he should lift his hat and incline his head slightly. Q. What is the correct wording for an announcement of a wedding? A. "Mr. and Mrs. Horace Green have the honor to announce the marriage of their daughter, J udith Rose, to Mr, Richard Hemingway on Tuesday, the twenty-seventh of December, in the City of Toronto. Q. How does a widow register at a hotel, as Mrs. Anne M. Rogers, or does she continue to use her be band's full name? k, She should register as Mrs. Herbert H. Rogers. Q. It is necessary to repeat the name of the person to whom one is being introduced? A. It is not necessary, but pre- ferable if the mune is heard clearly. Q. Should a woman always re- move her hat in a theatre? A. Yes. It is considered bad form to keep the hat on, no matter how small it is. And in the case of some hats, it is very inconsiderate of those seated in back of you if the hat is kept on and retards their view. • Q. Is it considered good man- ners always to leave a little food on one's plate? A. Absolutely not. It is always a compliment to the hostess or the cook to eat everything on the plate. Q. On which side of the bride- groom should the bride stand dur- ing the wedding ceremony? A. She should stand at the left of the bridegroom, facing the min - later. Q. just what are the duties of a godparent?. A. The duties are not many. He promises to befriend the child al- ways and advise it at any time he is called upon. At the christening he gives the baby a gift, usually a silver Mug, a knife, fork and spoon, some suitable piece of jew- elry, or some money to start a bank account. Too Fussy A man bought a canary from a pet store. "You're sure this bird can sing?” he said, suspiciously, "He's a grand singer," he was told. The customer left.' A week later he reappeared. "Say'. This confounded bird you sold me is Iameb" "Well, what do you want—a sing- er or a dancer?" d.taWI6 VM She'll be prettier than ever in this!

I just got word that Gladys (or Betty, or Joy, or Margaret, as the ease may be) is coming for the weekend!" So that ends that—our Daughter is a very popular girl now she has a house in which to entertain! And of course she loves it. One day pretty soon I shall be sampling her hospitality myself as I have not bean to the city since New Year's Day. Niece Betty, front Lit Cave, phoned us front Toronto yesterday —wanted to know how we had put in the winter. I told her I had been snaking quilts, blankets and rugs and Partner had been helping by washing the dishes, "Yes," said Betty, "and you set up a quilt in the bedroom and my poor uncle had to crawl under it to get his socks!" "And how do you know that:" I asked is' surprise. "Oh, one of the girls at the house here gets the paper that has your column in it, so of course I have just been reading it!" Soon there will be no secrets around here at all—but at least the fact that my friends and relations read this column should save me writing a few letters. My latest venture in handicraft has been knitting a rug. I wonder how many of you know what I mean You use carpet warp to knit with and in every other row, and in every other stitch, you keit in a little piece of material 91 an inch wide and 1% inches long. My mat- erial was old socks and sweaters —the machine knit variety. So far 1 have done one small mat just big enough to fit in the doorway, and in a hit-and-miss pattern. It is useable the way it is but yet I can make it bigger at any time so long as I don't add the border. It is quite possible to knit in some kind of pattern but that way you would have to decide on the size and colour of your mat before you began, otherwise you plight find yourself without enough of the right colour material to finish the job. Since this was my first attempt I settled for something easy. Now 1 have run out of socks so I must, perforce, forget my rug -knitting for awhile. Which maybe is lust as well because there are a few other jobs around here that are possibly more urgent. As, for in- stance, housecleaning, Yes, I am afraid housecleaning time is fast approaching for when the sun shines and the days length- en one gets "the urge" without any trouble at all. I have heard rune ours already of some housewives going into action with paper and paint. So far the extent of my activities has been "residing up" one cupboard—and 1 kept the fur- nace going nearly all one day with what I cleaned out—papers, maga- zines and other junlc. 1 also have Clearly a hundred books ready to pass on to a place where they will probably do more good than they are likely to collecting dust on our bookshelves. How 1 hate to destroy reading material!

Do female functional monthly ailments make you feel so nervous strangely restless, so tense and weak a few days just before your period? Then start taking Lydia E.

Vegetable Compelled the stuff at all. Leafing through magazines to see if there is any- thing 1 want to keep is fatal. There always is . so when 1 really want to stake a thorough job of things I steel my heart and don't look at them at all, "What the eye doesn't see the heart doesn't grieve for." Well, housecleaning is rape sign of approaching spring but there have also been others around here. The other day 1 saw several crows, and Partner heard a robin chirp. And I notice many of the younger generation seem to be getting the wander -lust. Strange, isn't it, that when one is young distant fields are always green. But as We get older we realise that if, and when, we could reach those distant fields —and look back—then the fields we left behind would also take on a brighter hue. Well, globe-trotting is all right for those who have the opportunity but I guess Partner and I must content ourselves with globe-trot- ting by books and by radio. Right now Partner is busy with Winston Churchill's memoirs, and last week I was reading "The Rains Came" which, as you probably know, is a story of India in the monsoon season, followed by an earthquake and graphically written by Louis Bromfield. He is certainly a won- derful writer and, as H. H. Hannam pointed out over Farm Radio For- um, the revenue from his books has doubtless helped the author to also become a wonderful farmer. And speaking again of spring . - could that be the answer to the re -appearance of "Flying Saucers"? Maybe our friends from Mars get spring -fever, plusl HOW CAN 1? By Anne Ashley Q, How can I reshape a straw hat? A. The shape of a straw hat can be changed by pouring hot water over it, and while it is still' hot and pliable, bending it to any shape desired.
