Three months ago I met a married man. He was honest and said he wasn't single, but it didn't make any difference to me; I let him come to see me, and I fell in love, "Last week I laid down the law - he'd have to choose be- tween me and his wife. He chose her, and said I must forget him! "Only now that I am alone do I realize what a fool 1 was. My reputation is gone, Only this crowd I got in with will go with me, and today I see what a cheap lot they are . . . I wish other girls would realize that no married man means a single girl any good. LOST" A ROUGH ROAD s The road back to 'loudness "is rough going.

FIGURES DO LIE A man who discovered Inc joys of fishing rather late in Ide became even more insistent than ordinary anglers -upon re- counting his many triumphs to sceptical acquaintances. Annoy- ed by their thinly -veiled hints that- he was untruthful, he bought a pair of scales and made his friends watch while he weighed the fish he had caught. One evening a neighbour burst in -excitedly and sought permis- ion. to borrow the scales. He was back in ten minutes, his face flushed with delight. "Congratulate me," he cried.

We get the tuil force of the cold winter winds so that even pansies give up the ghost. However, there is noth- ing like trying them out -- least I shall have the pleasure of looking at them all summer. Two other visitors last week came from Illinois. I'm begin- ning to think a few people meet read this colunm' 1 often think it would be nice to have plenty of time to work in the garden. One evening I went to see a friend's display of tulips. They were very belliillUT—ard- Must bring a great deal of satisfaction to the grower. Not that she has time on her hands but it is evidently the one hobby to which she gives the most • concentration. When time is limited that is about all one can do - decide on the hob- by that gives the greatest plea- sure and stay with it. Attempt too many things and we aehies, nothing at all. Thank goodnese, Partner Iris the cows out at last. Now be will have a little time for other things besides feeding, milking and caring for the cows. Or as a farmer would put it "he won't he tied to the cows' tails all day long." The extra jobs have started already. Saturday Bob was here and the two of them cut down an elm tree near the house whose branches were touching the high tension wires leading tram the house to the bare. ln a bad storm those branches might has' caused a short rivettit. Now the tree is down we have that worry off our mind-. The grass is also gettine the once-over. It had reached an unsightly length .leet, due to lack of rain, it was not yet unmanageable. Every- thing is crying out for rain - -pastures, . crops, gardens and forest tires. We haven't got our vegetable garden in yet. Not much good thinking about it while the ground is so dry. Un- lese, cif course, we water it, and that we will not attempt. Our mail -carrier tells inc the starlings are giving trouble again. We were not surprised to hear it as one day I went for the mail and found a starling had nested in our box. We soon put a stop to that. A few days later I met the matinees: at the road. As he gave Inc the mail he asked if there was anything in the box.- "No," 1 answered, "not even a starling." "That's good news," he re- marked, "because the other day I gave a starling a free ride for about a mile. It flew out of the mail -box and into the car." That would be startling to say the least. One of the pesky thinge got into our south bedroom last week. The storm window was still on and the only way the :bird could have got in was through the ventilation holes in the storm window. It takes a lot to atop a starling once it takes a notion to go places. I think birds must be getting tamer anyway.

Most blind peo- ple have an extraordinary sense of smell and at this time of the year the perfume - laden sir is different every week. Last week it was early Macs; this week lilies of the valley, late lilac, honeysuckle and double nar- cissi, When the doors open the ' sweet - scented air MN the house. It must be wonderful to smell the spring and summer if one is denied the ability to see. I think that idea of growing perfumed flowers for the blind was just lovely. We have a young friend who is blind and she loves to have flowers given her and of course the first thing she does is bury her faee in the blossoms to guess their identity from the smell.
