Every Sunday a n d holiday he's out with his rod and gun, while 1 stay home and have a hot meal waiting. "He is the most thoughtless man un earth. He never has bought me any little thing for myself or for the house. fie has never paid a bill unless .Eve re- minded him; never asks if there's anything I'd like to do to break the monotony. If I ask him to take me anywhere, he's too tired or has to work -- but, he goes where he wants. We adopted an adorable baby who is now four. Since we've had her, I haven't been away from home for one evening of fun. Sometimes 1 think I'll break under the same New Paras Gine!

"My husband is a good pro- vider, and he doesn't drink or gamble, for which I'm grateful. For 13 years I worked. in a fac- tory to save enough for him to buy his own business. Now we have our home, and a nice in- come without having to work' too hard. "Of late I've considered leav- ing him, ur try to start over Pty• self. I am 37, and I don't feel that I should be buried the rest of my life. Please advise me. MRS. W. S." 1 hope you will not consider a. leaving home. No matter what e fortunate arrangements y o to —might have for living alone, you would be depriving your baby of advantages which she will need increasingly as she grows. As she mattu'es she will need "° both parents, too, - Even a e father who is seldom home has " his value. As she matures he is likely to find her more and • more interesting, and he would o be unnatural indeed if he did c' not arrange to spend more time e with her, e It is a pity that during all 0 these years, which have sped r' by, he formed the habit of spending all his leisure time * away from home. He has worked hard (and now with e his owe business he finds it e necessary, I expect, to assume * more responsibilities) but he • should have given some " thought to the boredom he forc- e' ed upon you. From my own e mail, I have about concluded * that more wives suffer from e neglect than actual cruelty, e and break tender the monotony "' of their circumscribed routines. 4' Dragging through their dull "' repetitious days. with nothing e to look forward to, strangles e the spirit and stifles the ins, • agination. Housewives need n relaxation with their husbands, * good times with their friends, e and continua' activity in the e world outside. * It is hard to predict your o husband's amazed reaction * when you tell him that you are * now at the breaking point a yourself, and hope he will plan 4' to take you out regularly, do- ing the things you both enjoy- * ey before you married. A more e active social life would benefit "' his business. too, I should e think, and it would surely be e helpful to your child's devel- * opment later on. Since he is " doing well, a baby-sitter can leave you free to enjoy these a nights out. You might remind a him that though financial sue - 4' cess is important, no man is * proud of a wife who is grow- n ing old before her time; that e is definitely a reflection upon • him. 4 If he remains adamant, then cultivate your old friends * again and enjoy, wholesome fun with them. ,lt' your married life Is not sat- isfactory, do something about it before discontent becomes a habit. One way is to ask Anne Hirst for ideas. She will be able lo' help—if you don't wait too long.

Among other things to look over the Christmas Cards before putting then away. You know it is i'ool- ish to keep them but you just can't throw them out for a little while anyway—not all those gay, -cheery cards with their lovely words of greeting. You fee] warm all over, don't you, at the number of friends who remem- ber you. Maybe you feel a little guilty too because a few weeks before Christmas you had been grumbling just a little bit at all the extra fuss and bother and wishing it was all over. Put of course that was all on the sur- face—deep down in your heart you knew there is no time quite like Christmas, and you wouldn't want to change it ever — now would you? Especially with next Christmas fifty weeks away! But after Christmas is a lovely time too, and as you look for- ward to the weeks ahead don't you feel a lift to the spirit, . . remembering anything can hap- pen in this bright, new year-- tt night even be the best year ever. ' In the meantime have you any plans for the -winter months that will help make it so? 1 know it seems a long time now until spring, hut days speed by—much faster than they used to—and unless you have a programme napped out for yourself, the winter will be gone before you know it. So how about getting out your patches and making a quilt—or try your skill at some of the new handicraft that you may have seen in a magazine article, at a friend's house, or at a sale of arts and crafts. Or you might even invent a brand new type of work yourself, Every- thing that was ever done was, to start with, somebody's brain- wave. The next one could be your own. A few weeks before Christmas I was completely fascinated by a display of nylon flowers at a handicraft sale. These were in the forth of little nosegays to tvear on dresses and coats, They were so light and dainty I came home determined that I was go- ing to find out how to make ny- lon Cowers--ncver having seen or heard of them before. And here is a curious thing, You will generally find that if you are r•anlly in earnest about what you want to know all roads lead to Koine, as it.wero. You eventually come across the inforrnstton you seek in the most unexpected quarters. Anyway, a day or two later, quite by accident, 1 dis- covered a young girl whom I knew very well had been making nylon flowers for several months and was quite willing to tell me the tricks of the trade. Since then I have been snaking nylon flow- ers "like crazy"—for my,ft'iends and my csousins; my nieces and in-laws—all have been presented with nylon nosegays for Christ- mas, 1 myself brad a present of an- other type of handicraft—a pic- ttu'e in "needle -painting." A beautiful little work of art on satin—a reproduction of Tom Titomson's "Moving Waters." As far es I can gather, the satin is bought with the picture an it, part of which is already painted but the train part of the picture has to be filled in with very fine wool work, In this picture the sky and the river were painted; the trees, shrubs and river banks were clone in wool-work—in a sort of satin -stitch. The finished picture was strikingly beautiful. Believe tee, from now on it will be shown to 01001 of the folic who visit our borne. Another interesting type of handiwork is felt work—especi- ally costume flowers done in felt. Not quite so new a craft perhaps but quite simple and very effec- tive. And of course there are all kinds of rugs that can be made —braided, hooked, woven and crocheted. And of quilts to be made there is no limit. We often hear the expression—"there is nothing new under the sun." Don't you believe it—not when it comes to handicraft—there is always something new. And do you know what? Taking up a new hobby; learning to do some- thing you have never done be- fore, is one gond way to stay young. Speaking of hobbies, the other Gwen, who is still with us,; was in Rochester last week, staying with a friend whose hobby of making .pottery later became a means of livelihood. Her house is like a museum, I was told — plates, dishes, cups and saucers, all of the most beautiful hand- made pottery. Now, due to ill - health, her working days are over, but, since she has been an expert in ceramics for so long, her beautiful work is eagerly sought after, and occasionally she is talked into selling one of her rare pieces, with a special type of glaze, which she perfected, and the secret of which is known 0013' to herself. Snooping On Flies The living habits of disease - carrying flies are being charted in Britain with the help of radio- active shots. In the experimental laboratory of the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research types of flies that spoil food and cause intestinal trouble are bred by the hundreds of thousands. When full-grown, they are giv- en radio -active shots and re- leased. Neighborhood butcher shops, hospitals, schools and fish- mongers have meanwhile been baited with liver and traps After a few days the traps are collected, the flies gassed and re- turned to the laboratory. Geiger counters detect those of the ori- ginal batch, so that it can be determined whether and when the flies flew. One fact already established is that blow -flies move over a populous area at a minimum rate of a mile a day, stopping at food establishments, shops, hospitals, schools and canteens en route.

ISS1311 3 — 1953 Kept Camera Turn ing Twenty' -Five Years Wluu '8ucicinl;htun tra 1 a c needed a small boy at the Cor- onation festivities of King George V to light the official -match to set off the fireworks, the choice fell on the then Prime Minis- ter's youngest son, a bird -bright child named Anthony Asquith. Today, this same Anthony As- quith is practically the only movie -maker in Britain who has battled all the way from fliekery silents to the .CV age. And it's appropriate that the first 'full- seale British movie to be made in the new Elizabethan feign was his star-studded Technicolor production of Oscar Wilde's "The Importance of Being Earnest" You can count on one hand the movie directors who have work- ed out a quarter-century in the studios . and survived. Cecil 13. de Mille, Alfred Hitchcock and then who? Anthony Asquith enters these distinguished ranks fresh with the laurels he gained by making "The Browning Ver - cion.'" And the movies steadily revive such former triumphs of his as "Pygmalion," "The Win- slow Boy,' "Fanny by Gaslight," and "French Without Tears." An eminent' critic once listed Britain's six best movie directors and accidentally omitted Asquith. Then his "The Woman in Ques- tion" hit the screen. Jean Kent starred as a woman seen through the eyes of different people, a demonstration of Asquith's vir- tuosity in getting six different performances out of one actress. In handsome apology; the critic reprinted bis list with Asquith's name first! In the studios, Asquith wears a tough -looking boiler suit, but works amid polite efficiency. With puckish charm, he allays bursts of artistic temperament. Most directors yell the tradi-. tion: "Camera! Roll 'em!" As- quith merely calls, "I'm ready when you are!" Old friends are apt to appear again and again in his pictures. "Mr. Asquith al- ways tries to find a part for me," says a veteran actresss, He's had her in every film for twenty-five years! Characteristically, An t h o n y Asquith was once hauled into court for speeding, but could not leave before he had paid the fine in the case ahead of him, a poor man ch 1i'ged with not having a dog licence. Such gee-, tures have' endeared him to the film industry. No other movie -maker ever started with the strange initial disadvantage of having a father — the famous "wait and see" Asquith — who had been eight years Prime Minister. Brought tip as the youngest child in a household that blended states- manship and scholarship. Lady Oxford and Asquith considered discipline for young Anthony unwise. Politicians sometimes looked up from their anxious deliberations to gaze in horror at a small boy swinging reck- lessly from the plane tree out- side the window, apparently about to break his neck. At the age of six "little Put - lin" danced a Spanish dance with great verve before assembled politicians in the Cabinet room at No. 10. At eleven, with born self-assurance, he gave a lecture on the construction of aircraft.. Yet, until the won a scholar- ship to Oxford, he had rarely seen a movie. Then they feats- nated luta so much that he al- most forgot his exams. He went out to Hollywood. stayed with Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks at Pickfaie, played the piano to Chaplin and danced with Lilian Gish. But back home Anthony Asquith soon found that anyone train•• ing in pictures had to 'be highly adaptable. When a double was needed for the star in a picture about Boadicea, he donned to shaggy blonde wig and skirts, stepped imperiously into a char- iot and careered madly acrosts Salisbury Plain! Ultimately, he direeted some of the earliest English films that gained world attention. Once he even wrote a script with Win- ston Churchill for a i or:da fllm•- life of King George V. In fact„ Anthony Asquith has made morts films than he ever remembers. Yet, after twenty-five yearn Asquith still considers his fu- ture pictures more important than those he's completed. He plans to make Britain's first ericketing film, another set in the opera -and -vegetable market locale of Covent Garden, and perhaps a 009 fines drama about an ageing football star. But sometimes, when he longe to get away from it ail, he sim- ply steps right outside his pro- fessional life and thumbs a lift to Joe's transport cafe on the Great North Road. Joe has u wife and three rids, l'it .here's a spare bedroom for Asquith, At 6,30 am. Anthony gets up to deliver the newspaper's, serve the lorry -drivers their break- fast and help with the washing up. "I'm enjoying myself," he explains. "It's such a complete chang!"
