We seem to have lost a few somewhere. Or is that what generally happens when one has company? We had visi- tors for three days and then when they returned to Toronto I went with them, intending to visit Daughter and come back on the 6:30 train. But 1 cut things too fine. A delayed street- car added to my troubles so 1 missed my train by about two minutes. The first time I have done such a thing in years. For- tunately Daughter's place is only about 10 minutes ride from the station so I went back until it was time to leave for the mid- night train. I had too much wnrlt waiting at home for me to stay overnight. However, wait- ing for the late train allowed me more time with Davey who was quite happy to have an extra person to play with. Then, too, 1 was able to get a full eve- ning with television, which 1 had not done before. But 1 can't say I am any more sold on it. Certainly there are programmes that one naturally enjoys but 1 And the advertising even mare annoying on '1.'V than it is on the radio. A.s for good music I much prefer the radio — and that goes for newscasts too. However. 1 did enjoy a presen- tation featuring 11. L. Stevenson on the island of Samoa, 1 stip-. pose eventually we shall suc- cumb to mass enthusiasm az,d get a set of our own but at tl'e moment neither Partner nor I are too enthusiastic. Books, papers, magazines and the radio are about all we cnn brindle ,:t present. We have a little extra woik right now — looking after two atck •dogs. What ever ails them I don't know unless it. is dis- temper. They both have cougus and look pretty miserable. Tippy hasn't eaten anything for three days. As for Honey. she would .eat if she were at her last gasp. Afterwards elm acts like a horse with the heaves. Tippy is eleven years old and Honey siker seven so they are rather old for dis- temper, especially as thee Weser boil; inoti,tated for it es pups pies, Well, 1 guess the roll: Schaal tor this Caurty is over -for an- other ear and I didn't get to it at all.

Getting exactly the right sizes in socks, shirts and pajamas for the mole members of the family should be easy -but isn't. If the fabric isn't sanforized, there must be allowance For shrinkage, And in the interest of the budget, there frequently must be allowance for growth. Sizes, too, run somewhat differ-. eptly with merchandise from different manufacturers. All hi all, a shopping trip can turn into a guessing game. The new, stretchable knitted fabrics in nylon or a combin- ation of nylon and dacron are removing much of the guesswork. One garment stretches to be right fit for several sizes without sagging or binding. Thus it can span several seasons instead of just a couple of months, Such fabrics are completely washable (by hand or ma- chine), and need little or no ironing. They're done in both plain and ribbed types and in solid colors and stripes. And they're nice as gifts, since the stretch feature practically does away with the size problem. S -t -r -e -t -c -h the budget with children's T-shirts such as these: Both are of same size, but stretchable knit fabric insures fit duringseveral seasons of growth, espicialiy with spring hi the Offing. Spring . . what a happy thoughtl I suppose many ti.f yen are already planning your work, whether it be seeding. garden- ing or housecleaning. Early spring brings with it a renewal of f a i t h in the year ahead. Without it we could not vasty cu. Tt is as necessary to our well-briug as the air we bt'era(he. A friend of mine gave a series of talks on that vets subject just recently and I Wats • particularly imp re seed -with some of her remarks. 1 think they will appeal to you as well. "There are three levels of faith --faith in God. faith in others and faith in ourselves. They all work together', A strong faith in Ckud makes a strong human beim;. Then there is faith m others. If you have faith in the peepde around you, you trust and respect them If you lack this f'aitl't you mistrust and dcspiue then". Sometimes an unfortu- nate experience 'destroys year faith in people. Don't, whatever the provocation, let this happen to you tor lack of faith can grew like a bats weed and spoil your relationship with all you moot. Thou there is faith in youi'seif. Without faith in yourself yc•u became inadequate --• without vitality and lacking the power that you should be using, But -you can develop faith in your- self It is an act of will. You can have faith or distrust: con- fidence or fear. The pose ihui- ties ere within your Mind. You must have this triple faith -- faith in God, faith in others aid faith in yotu'selt. You CAN have it: faith can he developed and with it comes an amazing powe't. Faith is the ingredient which mixed cith preye•, gives you direct communication with the Divine." Well, 1. don't think I need add anything to these remarks — thee ^reel: fin themselves.

Where Women Score - What are the ten small but important things which a wo- man can do better than a slung A romantic but rather cynical Frenchman undertook to find out. He studied women for five years, reports a Paris cor'res• pendent, and then compiled this list of things which, he said, women of all ages can do in- comparably better than mere men: Dress lightly without eetching cold. Cry at the right moment. Avoid an argument by a senile. Choose a present. Obtain a special dish for a dog in a restaurant. Write a long letter and say nothing. Remove a speck of dust from another person's eye. Choose underwear for the op polite sex wi'thnut enlbari'nss.,ve went. Disturb a score of people in 51 cinema before finding a seat.
