Two years ago I married a man I'd known only a short time. I had been a professional woman for years, very successful, but I had. never met a man I loved.

Soon he will be discharged from service after five years there, He takes a glass of beer occasionally, but says he will stop if I ask it; Mother doesn't believe him.

I had visions of Art getting a bad attack of arthritis and the boys coming down with coughs and sniffles. Wet weather wasn't a very good start for the Royal Winter Fair either. However, weather isn't so important to the Royal as it is to the C,N.E. Once you get to the Fair the weather this is what I found written. "Winter in December, January, February or March isn't so bad, but winter early in November, that's somehting else again. The birds, like ourselves, seem hard- ly to know what to make of this white blanketted world and fly hurriedly from tree to fence and fence to tree again. The snow as it fails is settling on to any tiny leaf or branch that will hold a snowflake." That was published November 16 but turning back the pages again I find winter had really set in even earlier than that. November 2nd of that same year I mentioned fetching Daughter from a Girl Guide meeting and driving home in thick, slushy snow, facing the storm, driving with one hand, and with the other working the hand-operat- ' ed windshieldwipers on the old Model TI That nigh; there was a wild scramble to find last year's gum rubbers, overshoes, heavy oversocks and winter work boots. Next morning the che- dren set out for school with mitts and rubbers, neavy coats and windbreakers and whoops of ,toy. Winter had come! Inci- dental.ty, they had to walk a mile and a half -- there wasn't ens' school bus to pick them up in those days Just imagine, all that I have mentioned happened twenty-five years ago and yet 1 remember that drive ,lust as if it were vesterdee. We used to rail our Model T. "the Optimist". We gave $75 for it. 1l was our first car and after three Half-hour lessons I took it on tee road try myself. Possibly "the optimist" rpplicd to the driver as well as the car. Isn't it too bad one man's meat is nearly always another man's. poison? This ra]n, which we find so cold and unpleasant, is really very badly needed. Many wells in the country and suburbs errs dangerously low, in some cases completely, dry. But why did it have to rain for the big Santa Claus parade. spoiling the fun for thousands of children, eager- ly looking forward' to this color- ful event? Of course, there was television coverage, but that isn't nearly as good as it used to be. However, it was better than nothing and more or less satis- fied our grandsons.

Speaking of T.V, what do you think of present - day. pro- gramtnes? Don't you get fright- fully tired of Westerns and so- called variety shows? And also some of the C.B.C.'s "gulture" programmes -dramas and trage- dies that begin in the middle and have no proper ending at all. Or with an ending that leaves a bad taste in the mouth. No, 1 can't say we appreciate C.B.C. drama but at the same time we do think C.B.C. programmes 00 the whole are better than any U.S. network, We specially enjoy Open House, Tabloid, Front Page Challenge and Fighting Words. As for sports coverage it is second to none—and that applies to the news too, especial- ly since the six o'clock Metro- politan news was inaugurated. Of course there are times when we do plenty of criticizing. Tabloid can be awfully boring at times — uninteresting inter- views go on and on but an inter- view that has, you sitting on the edge of your chair is often cut to five minutes. On the other networks we like to listen to the Firestone Hour, Murray's Dance Party, Round Table Discussion, Perry Masen and What's My Line — and some of the hour-long dramas, We thoroughly enjoyed "The Wins- low Boy". We were not too up- set when the Quiz programs went off the air. I wonder what Hal March will do now? It must be quite a blow to an M.C, when a popular program folds up. Modern Etiquette by Roberta Lee Q. Are all plates removed from a dinner table before serving the dessert? A. Yes, the table should be placeless. The salt cellars, pep- per pots, unused flat silver, are taken off the table, and the crumbs are brushed off each place at the table with a folded napkin onto a tray held ander the table edge. Q, Should a man precede a woman he is with through a re- volyine door, in ordet that he might do the pushing? A. No; he should start the door off With a push, and then allow the woman to precede him, Q. Is ]t proper for a woman to shake hands with her, gloves on? A, This is quite proper — and without any excuses for the gloves either. Q. Is it all right to type social letters? A. This is quite all right. Typed letters should be written on a single sheet, with only one side of the paper used. And be sure that your signature at the end of the letter is written by hand. Q. When a man is walking along the street with two woe men, does he walk between them? A. No; he should keep to the curb side, so as to avoid turning his back on one of the women while talking with the other. Wise Cows: Five cows, kept in a pasture neara country house, were given a ration of salt every Sunday morning. As a handful of sett to a cow is as tasty as a bar of chocolate to a child, the cows be- gan to look forward in their Sunday treat. After a while the cows started to anticipate the salt. For six days, whenever milking time came round, they had to be rounded up, but on Sundays they came voluntarily towards the house and stood about with an air of expectation. If the cow- man forgot to bring the salt, the cows, instead of going straight back to the pasture after milking as they did on other days, stood about for an hour or so—waiting for their Sundry treat. The cows lived in an isolated part of the country and Dr. A, 8, Hudson, who records this story, says that as far as he could judge there was nothing to help the cowsto distinguish Sunday from any other day. The only explanation seems to be that they developed a time -sense that told them that Sunday was Saltday.
