Family e i rt Dear Anne Hirst: About 8 months ago I married a woman with two daughters; I have three boys, Everything her girls do is OK, but Fey sons don't dare say a word about anything. She made life so miserable for the oldest lad (who was won- derful to me) that he has joined the Navy. My youngest should have a little loving, which nay wife promised before we mar- ried, but now she only bawls him out. When I am away she has even locked him out of the house!

He got interested . and everything else — after his wife died So she •eivoreed her husband. _end the man who was wait - for his wife to pass away suddenly died himself . .. Now this woman is sobbing on my shoulder because she is without a husband and has lost this man, too. She is considering remarry - ng her -husband if he will have her.. I guess she didn't like my comment, for I haver't heard from her' since. - "God Himself punished her This is what will happen to the one who wrote you. i cer- tainly hope she takes your ad- vice and gets wise to hereelt be- fore it is tori laic. MRS R T." In any remarriage, the wel- fare of the children should be the parent's first consideration. Anne Hirst understands this deli- cate problem, and her wisdom can be helpful. Write her at Box 1, 123 Eighteenth St., New • Toronto, Ontario.

Claxlce Life is lull of surprises—some good, some bad. I never know from one week to the next what this column will contain. So here we go again, with a little of each. I'll start off by telling you something that particularly ap- peals to my sense of humour. You may remember that some time ago we sold all our milk- ing cows. We were through with dairy farming , , , but definitely. Partner being so stiff with arth- ritis it seemed the only sate and sensible thing to do. But he re- lented to the point of keeping one cow, due to freshen in Sep- tember—just so we wouldn't have to buy milk all the time. So what happens? Yesterday our Jane calved right on sche- dule, in a secluded corner of the pasture. During the morn- ing Partner went over to see if she was all right, and what do you suppose he found? .. Twin calves, no less — and both of them heifers! So that's hbw are go out of dairy farming. One of the calves was erriskhtg around, the other was busily getting her first meal. My other main item of farm news is not so good. Rusty, our promising watch -dog puppy was hit by a car yesterday and has a broken leg as a result. Part- ner was down at the lane gate with the tractor. Both dogs were with him. Apparently Rusty ran on to the road just as a fast- moving car was approaching and he had it. It wasn't the driver's fault; Rusty just didn't have sense enough to get out of the way, He never has been car -conscious. H o w e v e r, al- though his leg is definitely frac- tured the 'vet' thinks if we keep him quiet the bone will knit of its own accord. We hope so any- way—he is ,just a happy, affec- tionate, over -grown puppy—and an excellent watch -dog. All this happened while I was at the Exhibition. Yes, I was there again. It being Press Day I thought it would be as well to put in an appearance. And I really had a wonderful time. And do you know what . I had a few words with Marilyn Bell! She is really and truly just a nice, unaffected little girl. Newspaper and radio reports to that effect haven't been exag- gerated one bit. I had no idea I was likely to meet her; it was just that Elsa Jenkins, head of the Women's . Division, C.N.E., conceived the bright idea of asking Marilyn Bell to be in the receiving line at the Press Wo- men's Tea. I had already ; been to the Grandstand Show for the express purpose of getting a glimpse of Marilyn but meeting, her at the tea was a hundred percent better. What else did I do at the "Ex" --just a few of the things we didn't have time for on opening day. The Art Gallery that is well worth a visit, if only to see M. J. Boylen's private collection of Krieghoff's pictures of pioneer days. There were also many pictures loaned by the Art Gallery of Toronto, And do you know I bought a dozen beautiful Christmas cards, reproductions of famous paint- ings. If any readers are inter- ested in getting similar cards white to the Art Gallery of Tor- onto, for their complete list, available from October 1. The address is Grange Park, Toronto 2B, Ontario. The cards are no more expensive than the usual line of good cards that you are probably used to buying. Of course I had to take in the Dog Show at the 'Ex'. Such yap- ping and barking you never heard! Apparently the smaller the dog the bigger the bark. Big dogs like German Shepherds, Dalmations and Collies were ly- ing quietly in their appointed places surveying the passing public either with resigned bore- dom or with watchful interest, but without making a sound. I looked around for a breed that would give me a clue as to Rusty's parentage and I am quite convinced that he is partly of the Doberman Pinscher type, al- though his mother was supposed to be e purebred collie. Oh well, it's a wise puppy t'iat knows its own father. Now What else? Oh es. 1 took a ride up to the lop of the yew Shell Oi.1 Tower --the view from the top was really wonderful. It was a bright, clear dee' and you eould see across the waters of the blue lake for mitrti. In. the Iibrhibitlon ground. cars and people looked like melee—ores. The elevator works will) sur- prising - ease, Once at the top you can stay on the observation platform as rung as lean please and there are two public tele- phones placed • there for your, convenience. -Just for fun I phoned Daughter from the top of the Towel' just to let her know where 1 was, Actually 1 was on my way out of the grounds when I decided to visit the Tower Once at the top f was so entranced with the view that I forgot all about time — and almost missed my train . in fact I would have only the train was late too. Good old C.P.R. — always so acconemo-, dating! Modern Etiquette Q. How is all service made at a dinner table, from the right or left? A. From the left, and using the left hand, Glasses are re- filled from the right, and with- out being picked up or moved. The dishes may be removed, however, from either right or left, whichever is more conveni- ent, and they should not be stacked, but removed singly Q. Should the first page of a letter be numbered? A. No; this is neither neces- sary nor proper. You may num- ber the succeeding pages it you wish. Q. When the brief form of introduction is used, as, "Mrs. Jones, Mrs, Smith In what svny can it be made apparent who is being introduced to whom? A. The more important per- son's name should be accentu- ated so that it will be as clear as though the words, "May I present," were used.
