C'�/, HRONICLES °, IG Gwandoline P Cl.et'iitc This has Leen a very busy week —busy in so many ways. \Ve have visited and been visiting; have been buying and selling —gearing our- selves in preparation for a very de- finite change in our way of living, This has all come about because son Boh, in a very few days, will be heading north for new worlds to conquer. After having hint at hcmne, week in and week out, for five years, being without him is going to take a little getting used u . But then if the wander -Inst is in his blood should we stake a Poor mouth and say—"011 no, don't leave home—we need your No, we haven't said that—but we were anxious for Bob to consider well the step he was taking. Finally, he definitely decided that he wanted to stake a move, How Partner and I will make out by ourselves remains to be seen. When it conies to long-distance planning Partner is hard to beat but even planning cannot add to t?e atnount of strength it takes to cover a day's work. As we see it, a. wise move for a couple working alone is to cut down on the over- head so that less work and less income is required to maintain the farm and themselves. How long Bob will be gem, we do not know. Whether the lure of the land will call him back again in six months remains to be seem, Incidentally, we hate been very itterested in tate various comments expressed by friends when first they heard of Bob's intention of going away. Not a few of thcna have sha- ken their heads—"Too bad," they said, "you may find out after you get away that the farm wasn't such a bad place after all." Another said —"I don't know that I blame you for going north—there isn't much in farming for a young fellow these days!" Sometimes one wonders if there will be any young farriers at all after a while. Tail Of Woe—It's It's hard to tell who is wagging who but you can tell at a glance that both "Spot" and his mistress, Pris- cilla Wheeler are very ttn- happy about the whole situa- tion. The woeful tail crone to a happy ending when the 'och broke away, to the relief of all concerned, With all these changes in the off- ing you can understand it has been a busy week trying to get last- minute jobs done in the short time left to us --and then having the house full over the weekend. Among other thing, 1 went to the city — staying overnight with daughter and because Bob Via driv- ing me down I was even able to take Honey ,:siting, Eve" since we got Honey, slaughter has been wor., rying int to take her down so she could introduce her te, everyone at the house. Now it so happens that the very person who raised Honey as a puppy was rooming with daughter for the winter and I knew she would like to see her. Ilow' did Honey behave? Just beautifully. She played with the little boys, begged when she was told, made herself quite at home and was happy with eveything and everybody. At least she was once she had her way in one little matter. When we first got into the car Bob bad an old coat on the back seat for her to sit on. This, however, did not suit Honey. She was no back-seat pas- senger . no, sir! But, yet she was afraid to protest too loudly. So she stood up on her hind legs with her nose and front paws on top of the front scat. Presently she began panting. .f didn't think I could take that all the way to Tor- onto. Finally I said to Bob, "honey isn't used to riding iii the hack seat —she is panting because she is ner- vouse. Better let her come in with the—she w'on't be any trouble," So Honey came over to the front seat —and from then on there was no trouble. She just curled tip and went to sleet,. %Ville 1 was in Toronto and browsing around a new book store that was recently opened on Yonge Street, 1 had rather a funny experi- ence. A salesclerk said to me— "Have you seen, our second -floor display?" I told hint I hadn't but that 1 would go up after seeing all there was to see on the first floor. Coming to the end of the floor I noticed two people ahead disap- peared all of a sudden, Following in the sante direction 1 presently found myself in a small elevator— alone. Thinking the attendant was just around the corner 1 waited. Suddenly to my surprise, the doors closed and the elevator started its upward climb, "For goodness sake," 1 said to myself, "this must be one of those automatic contraptions. But now what do I do?" 1 looked at the push-buttons—one red and three black. Was I supposed to manipulate any of then,—it so which one? What would happen if 1 pushed tate strong out: W .I was still wondering the doors flew open and there was a workman waiting to get in. "Well, i ant glad to see someone around," i exclaim- ed, "I wondered if I was going to ride around in this thing for the rest of tine afternoon!" The ratan laughed, and then expla'ncd the 'mechanism of the thing. Very simple, once yon know how—but it certainly gives you a queer feel- ing to be sht,t up in a two-by-four bo- and not know )tow to open it. Daughter said -.."'.That num must have thought you a hick!' Maybe but need I worry?
