* You •are not being unfair to
* resent your husband's continuous
* Sunday absences from house; it
* is the only day that he ran spend
* with you std the baby; and you
* miss him. It would seem natural
* that he ask someone in the family
* who has a car to drive itis mother
* to eamp now and then, 1'ihe prob-
* lets, though, should solve itself.
4' It isn't likely that his brother
* will stay in camp lunch longer,
* is it?
* • With a small child to raise., you
* cannot get out often to sec your
* friends, Or go to a movie, Tele-
* vision, however exciting, keeps
* you indoors. where you have
• spent most of the day. You need
* change of scene and people, a
* wider social life, and diversified
* amusements; then you would
*' have pleasant memories to live
* with when you must be alone.
it takes imagination for a bus-
* band to picture how dull his
* wife's routine can be. Ile should
* set aside a couple of evenings a
* week to take you to other places
* than to see his family. If you
* are forced to continue like this,
* you'll lose track of your own
* friends, and other contacts you
* will always need to keep your
mind active and your atl'ectioIs
* alive.
* If your husband must spend
4' every Sunday away from home
^' for any length of time, why don't
you invite your friends anyhow?
• It won't be as much fun as Fav-
* ing hint there, hut it will at least
*' provide you with the stimulation
* you need.
* In this in-law situation, try to
* get on more pleasantly with him,
* I understand how it has upset
* you, and become almost an oh-
* session: but it should never have
* reached the point where 111 be -
1 came defiant.
* During these troubled tines,
* we all have to sacrifice our de-
* sires to some degree ,and per-
* haps this burden is the one you
* nnust carry for a while. Keep
your husband in good humor
* when he is home, so he will feel
* more eager to be with you. And
* when he finally understands that
* you need to get out more ete-
t' nings, he will be nuns: aerecahle
* about taking you.
* In some families, these slum-
* tions become serious almost over-
* night. when a wife feels that her
a husband is taking advantage of
* her good nature. 'l'he trick is to
* make compromises nos and then,
* so the matter does not become an
issue between you.
Is your wife unhappy today be-
cause you don't take her out as

Harrogate with the - _Aril born
Baroness Agnes de tiro; ckl, who
married a Russian diplomat. Very
generous, kine!. and eager l0 Itelo
the needy, the Princess decided t0
tisk the local infirmary vett take
the instates gift;,
In the first room were ten old
ladies i1, bed. all washed and dress-
ed up for the occasion. "'\Cell, sty
dear, how are you?" H.R.I. asked
one. "Quite well,'' piped the tooth-
less dalne, "How long Imre you
been here, poor dear?" "Twenty
years." "Are you happy, poor dear?"
"Quite, indeed, 0017 happy." smiled
the old lady. "No, my poor dear,"
11.R,H. corrected, "you think you
arc happy but you are not. You
must miss your home,"
By this time the old lady was
sobbing—and the others, too, Whet'
It.R.II. and the _Baroness left e•very-
017e was howling and sobbing, and
the Princess. delighted, said: "It i;

those poor old souls."
That night the surgeon, Mr,
Franklin, rang the Baroness. say-
ing: "For God's sake don't let
the Princess conte near this place
again, The matron can't calm the
old women, They all say they used
to he so happy and now they are all
miserable."
Telling this story in her vivid
1nentoir5, "Not All Vanity." the
Baroness discloses that, at the time
of the big dock strike, Queen Alex-
andra gave a large sum to provide
loaves for the distressed, int the
gift had to be kept server as it
was helping the strikers.
What The Butler Said
Another story is of the Grand
Duke Michael, who gave a Ia1'ge
dinner for Russian officers from
the hospital he had established for
them in the south of France after.
the 1914 war. Towards the end the
butler told the Baroness's husband,
Sasha, who was waiting of the
Grand Duke, that silver spoons and
forks had vanished. 'When inform-
ed, the Grand Duke got ;neo an
awful state, ."I bet you," he cried,
"those fools have taken them as
souvenirs. You must get them
back." As they were leaving Sasha
waylaid the first, saying, "The
Grand Duke is very touched you
should wish to take a sou1011ir

the custom. The Grand Dttke will

Without shame one after the

guest unbuttoning his waistcoat
and bringing forth a gold plate!
In their native Caucasus, they ex-
plained. it was considered a great
compliment to walk off with sou-

"It's sickening the way any wife

"You're lucky. 'trine keep, 1,1101g

"Bane" Emotion—It was a sad farewell for 14 -year-old Herta
Clausen and her partner Jackie, a 55 -pound Syrian hear, as
they parted recently. Herta plays the part of Goldilocks in the
Shrine Circus but laddie has outgrown his role in the act. The
beat' was sent to the zoo where he can idle away his time
thinking of his acting clays.
