"Dear Anne Hirst: For live
yea -•s I had a husband who was
very much in love witih me. He
did everything to make our lit-
tle boy and me happy, taking us
anywhere he could, and keeping
the baby for me when he didn't
feel like going out. He seemed
to enjoy staying home with us.
"This past year he has changed
completely, He stays out until
the small hours, sometimes all
night. I don't know the cause
of this change; when I ask him
he just says he doesn't know!
"Of course, I believe there is
another woman in the picture,
but I do not know how to cope
With the situation. He refuses to
take me out with hint, and he..
never stays home. He only eats
and sleeps here.
SON MISSES HIM
"This is very hard on our five-
year-old boy, for his father has
always been very attentive; now
he doesn't see his daddy except
about an hour each evening.
"I do not want to break up our
marriage, but I am at the end
of my patience. I try every way
I know to win back his love. If
you have any "advice at all, please
print it. I need it so much,
N. L. N,"
* That another woman, has
tg your husband in her toils Is
* naturally your first thought: the
"x hours he keeps, his refusal to

riege have made him restless;
* he himself may not understand

so. But he certainly owes you
* the truth. He must guess your

t' A year is a long time for a

* that you curb your impatience,
* for patience is your supreme
* need now.
* If you can hold on (without
* questioning him again) and
* believe that any affair he is
* having will end soon, you will
perhaps keep a husband who
* will be more fully yours than
* ever, and eternally grateful
* for your loyalty and restraint,
* This means accepting things as
* they are; never complaining
* of his absences; going your
* awn way with head high, and
.maintaining the dignity of your
* position of wife and mother.
• If you cannot do this, re.
, member that in this country,
* there exist few grounds for a
wife to sue for divorce. Adul-
• tery, which you suspect, would
* have to be proved, a difficult
'1' and expensive undertaking.
* If you should lose the case, you
* would alienate your husband
* perhaps permantently; if you
* win, the consequences would
• separate your son from We
* :father, a costly price to pay for
* freedom.
* You may decide to threaten
* divorce, and take your chances.
* The prospect of losing his son
* will weigh heavily in your bus-
* band's reaction.

If a husband is bored with his

T E GREAT
WHITE • .I RD
Have you ever seen—outside a
museum --a snowy owl? They are
the largest of all owls, approach-
ing the size of an eagle. They
stand a good two feet high, and
their wings spread as much as
five and a half feet. Lacking trees
in their Arctic homeland, they
alight on knolls and walk along
the ground. Their food is chiefly
rodents -- mice, lemmings. and
Arctic hares.
In flight they are spectacular.
For then their few dark markings
do not show. And they appear as
snow-white navigators of the .sky
as they flap away on their great
wings with that paradoxical
whispering noiselessness pecul-
lar to their kind.
If you see one, look hard and
rejoice at the opportunity that
has been yours. For but once in
four years do many snowy owls
wing their way far south into the
United States. responding as they
do to the mysterious lifecycle
of the lemmings. And because
the big owls are extraordinary
and because they fly and hunt in
the daytime as well as at night,
few of them, says the National
Audubon Society, escape those
who seeing Mint shout. Ilence
few return to their native haunts.
One of the great values of beau-
ty to mankind is that it can be
enjoyed without being possessed
—a truth that applies with par-
ticular force to all the beauties of
nature. Let the snowy owl, go
in peace to be enjoyed in great-
er number: by more people every
succeeding goedrenniten- --From

Stay Afloat -• Sure to make a bit hit with nonswimmers is the
floating quality of a new swimsuit demonstrated by three models
who are floating in water with their hands tied over their heads.
The new suit, which is almost identical in appearance to the
regular suit, uses captive oir cells within the sift material to pro-
vide the buoyancy. There is frothing to inflate and manufacturers
say the buoyancy is permanent.
Harbinger Of Spring — Lambing on many farms in the Pacific
Northwest started two weeks early this year, an indication of
an early spring. Above, Wilma Starnes holds one of the 20 Iambs

How du people get bored?
Sometimes I wish I knew
condition of temporary boredom
might be restful ..for a change..
What prompted that inquiry?
Just this: One day last week
there was a dense :fog, with a
forecast of colder weather. The
roads were icy and naturally
the visibility was poor. And yet
this is what happened. A ser•
tain gentleman was driving to
Fergus on business and his wife
had planned to go with him.
When it turned out to be so fog-
gy I remarked •— "I suppose this
awful weather upsets your plans
for the day?" To my surprise
came the answer, "Oh no, why
should I? My husband has to go
anyway, I might as well go al-
, ong for the drive as sit around
home doing nothing!" That
really set me back on my heels
to he so bored it long drive
in dangerously foggy weather
-was considered preferable to stay-
ing comfortably at home. And
bored , . when there are so
many interesting things to see,
and hear, and do that one life-
time isn't long enough to take
then all in. Even what we were
doing that day was better than
driving around in the fog. Clean-
ing furnace pipes. no less. We
always clean then et least once
during the winter, choosing a
Mild day so we can let the Inc.
nate out. It is quite a job as
there are four elbows and twenty-
one lengths of pipe, extending
from the cellar to the roof. Gen-
erally we don't have too much
trouble as Partner has a system
that works out pretty well. But
this time we had to replace an
elbow and one length of pipe —
and do you think they would fir
together. I'm telling you vex
were quite warm enough evi'u
with the furnace out! But 1, re
is something I must tell you girls.
There is a white protective paste
on the market to rub over your
hands on just such an occasion.
It works like a charm. Here was

sweep and yet, a quick wash
with soap and water, and the dirt
was gone. No ingrained dirt to
worry irbout so 00 scrubbing or
abrasives were u cessery. Be-

ervative aluminum paint eau be

ply. Economical ton - half a
pint goes- a lour, tray.
Well nut', let's sec whet else
there is to keep boredom at hay
For farm fulls there are rnauy
kinds of activities. Have you
noticed there is a regular epi-
demic el conventions just now?
As Mr, Watsus Porter observed,
"it would be unwise to start any
more farm organizations for there
aren't arty dates left to hold the
annual conventions!" However,
the ones that are, or have been
held, deserve more their casual
attention. If we cannot attend
these conventions we can at least
read about thein and by so doing
keep ourselves abreast of agri-
cultural activities. Personally 1
am hoping that something will

didn't know it that cattle
prices are down; the market
flooded with mills; potatoes al-
most itt •the give-away level and
mare along the same lines, So
what happens 'Having been
schooled to expect lower prices,
when we have something to sell
we accept what we get with grati-
tude, thankful it isn't any less.
It is a psychological angle that
has its effect upon producer and
consumer alike. I don't like it.
It is the basis for underselling
and cut-rate prices.
But on with the show, Other
activities in the planning stage
are Folic Schools and Kate Alt -
kin's Hobby Show. I think the
-'bobby Show was a wonderful
idea. To anyone interested in
hobbies it is inspirational to see
what other folk are accomplish-
ing — a hobby quite often devel-
ops into a profitable side -line. A
woman not far from here started
pottery work as a hobby, now she
is working on. a commercial
basis and has more order's than
she can handle.
And then we have the Folk
Schools, of special interest to
farm folk generally and to young
p e o.p 1 o in particular. Folk
schools are gaining in popularity
combining as they do fun and
education; social activities and
historical research; religious ob-
servance and cultural pro-
grammes. Many young folk who
could go to Folk School fail to
do so because they don't know
what it is all about. There is one
good way to find out — go to it.
Experiende is still the best
teacher.
Still on the subject of handi-
craft: Are there any readers of
this column who would care for
embroidery transfer designs —
the iron -on variety? I. have a
number to give away to anyone

Path
•f Love
Often ten {*!. tom• y. N W +D
Thu path of true love earl be
pretty humpy at times, but° it
Is smooth compared to the path
of true hate. When two love-
birds turn into battling bantams,
it's every man (and woman) for
himself.
Consider the grounds for div-
orce that turned up in divorce
courts in 1953. It's a perfect ex -
envie of man's inhumanity to
woman, and vice versa,
Let's start with Mrs. Doris
Lindsay, of Boston, who had a
pretty good reason to want a
divorce, She told the judge that
her husband bit her in the face
with a cat, rubbed her face with
a fish and locked her in the
pantry with a mouse.
Animals play a big part in
divorces. Walter Sprinkel got a
divorce when he told the judge
his wife insisted on taking her
cats to bed with her. But the
cat was on the other foot in
Detroit; where Mrs. Retha Dren-
ring said that her husband took
the cat to bed with him. When
the cat bit her an the foot,
Drenning forced her to apologize
to it.
It was a dog that shattered the
marital bliss of the Boos. Mrs,
Goldie Boo said that her hus-
band insisted en having ''ootsie,
her little pup, sit at the break-
fast table and lap up his coffee.
And another type of living
thing sent Cupid scurrying for
his life from the Kenneth Nor-
ton household. Mrs. Norton said -
that her husband spent all his
pay on food for his 10,000 earth-
worms,
A London - man got his div-
orce when he told how his lit-
tle woman kicked him, bit him,
threw a poker at hint, broke a
pot over his head and stuck a
knife in his back. •
One Merrick Gilbey was a
little apprehensive when he no-
ticed that his wife went to bed
with a butcher knife tucked
handily beneath her pillow. Gil
lory said he couldn't sleep. He
got his divorce,
Cruelty often assumed strange
shapes. In Miami, Mrs. Doris
Denio sued for divorce because
her husband dyed his hair green.
Denio is an entertainer, but
his wife said that green hair,
no matter what the excuse,
doesn't contribute to the peace
and happiness of a marriage.
A Chicago wife got a divorce
because she swiped her hus-
band's toupee. After Mrs. Helen
Lucas took it — as a precaution
so he wouldn't date another wo-
man — her husband beat her
when she wouldn't tell him
where she hid it,
One marriage that had a close
shave — then lost - was that
of some Browns. A Mrs, Frank
Brown told the judge that her
husband forced her to shave
hire every day for 13 years.
Husbands' laziness is frequent-
ly cited as grounds for ctivoree.
Mrs. Erma Gentle said her hus-
band exercised so much with
dumb -bolls he was too exhaust-
ed for anything else, And Mrs.
Bessie Sigel declared that her
husband made her serve him his
meals, cut into bite -size mor-
sels, as he reclined on the couch.
On the other hand, a hus-
band was granted a divorce be-
cause, he affirmed, his wife play-
ed skittles on Thursday, Friday
and Sunday nights as well as on
Sunday afternoons.
Amofbg the oldest couples to
split were the Kochs. Mrs, Marie
Kochs, 80, won a divorce by
testifying that her 80 -year-old
husband let her lie without help
for four months after she fell
down stairs,
"Those things add up." she
said.
And probably the shortest -
lived marriage to end in 1953
was that of the Hughletts. Mrs.
Lillian Hughlett won her div-
orce when she told how her
marriage went sour a few hours
after,, they were united. It hap-
pened as they began their
honeymoon and stopped to eat.
Her husband wouldn't let her
put lemon in her tea. Divorce

REAL POVERTY
A well-known woman was
famous for her charity to those
less fortunate than herself. She
couldn't bear to know of the
distress of ethers without doing
something to relieve it. She re-
turned to her table in a night
club recently and informed her
husband that she had just given
$100 to the woman in charge of
the ladies' cloak -room.
"What's the matter with you?"
asked her husband, a 11 g r i 1 y.
"What's the idea of spending
money like that?"
The woman's eyes began to
dim with tears. "The poor thing,"
she explained, "told me she had
no television set,"
