ANNE RUST
t c tth, atianzegot, .....
"Dear Anne 'Hirst: I certainly
agree with your advice to 'Be-
wildered Wife' about her mother-
in-law. My husband's mother is
almost an exact duplicate. Before
marriage she accepted me, but on
our very wedding day she chang-
ed to a vicious animal. She sowed
seeds of hate immediately and
successfully.
"She also is neurotic, and car-
ries on until she gets her way.
My husband admits she is wrong,
but he never took my side, and
excused everything with 'She's
my mother.'
"I had put my heart and soul
into my marriage. I worked and
prayed hard for it to be a suc-
cess, but to no avail. She created
such ill will that I Iost all res-
pect for her and also for my hus-
band I saw him as he was, a
spineless jellyfish. She kept us
at each others' throats when I
was pregnant, and she, too, told
me her son was too good for me.
Her attacks gnawed. They left

nue a broken person, without faith
in God or huznanity.
"Finally I realized it was fruit-
less to try to please her. I broke
with her before we were mar-
ried two years, I have never re-
gretted the step.
"Soon we will have been mar-
ried five years. The nightmare is
slowly fading, My faith has been
restored, and since I no longer
hear her ugly lies and unkind
words, 1 ain growing normal
again,
"My husband continues to pay
his respects to her, but our boy
does not know his grandmother.
I have borrowed her phrase, 'My
son is too good for you.' I never
dreamed it would end this way,

A new addition has been added
to our fancily. We have named her
"Annie" because she was born on
the eve of our wedding anniver-
sary. Her mother's name is May
and she is a direct descendant
of Daisy Durham, who was one
of the first members 'to join our
family when we started fanning
in Ontario just over 30 long years
ago. The name of Amzie's father
is "Lord Nelson" and he lives at
Maple, Ontario, Annie has a nice,
fluffy white fur coat with a few
reddish -brown patches here and
there, and she is really very act-
ive considering she is only two
days old. Actually .Annie wasn't
too anxious to enter this cold,
snowy world and managed to
postpone her arrival for two
whole days., After that the forces
of nature were tdo strong for her
and she finally made her appear-
ance, unaided and alone. We
thought perhaps she might bring
a brother or sister along with her
for company. But no, she came by
herself and was quite proud of
her achievement. In fast it wasn't
long before she was standing on.
her feet, ambling around her
mother, gazing at her somewhat
boastfully, saying just as plain as
could be, "Hey Ma! I did it!"
Boastfulness, however, soon
gave way to the pangs of hunger,
as in calf language site said to
her'mother, "Look, Ma, now Pm
here, what's to eat, and where do
I get it?"
Well, that, was one incident in
connection with our anniversary.
The other occurred when Bob and
Joy walked in with a gorgeous
bunch of daffodils. Why is it that.
spring flowers look so much love-
lier in the middle of winter?
Never have daffodils looked so
yellow and eliem:fel as the ones
that adorn our house- today. We
also had a disappointment. Dee,
Art and David were to have coma
out for the day and then at the
last minute they had to 'cancel
their plans, so as a sort of con-
solation prize we got a lovely
card and a picture of our grand-
son. Apparently the young tinker
is growing out. of all recognition
se we are getting quite impatient
to see bite. -
We arc still not very happy
about the weather, not knowing
quite what to expect front day to
day. Bit trucks and little trucks

meil-bur. I wouldn't like to live
on a sideroad and have to walk
half -a -mile .for our mail. That
would be jure too muesli. There
was a time adieu we would have
thought, nothing of it --hut not
now. Coins to tliutk of it, time is
very considerate and snits ottr

when we -were first married, We
used to got rem mall once a week,
and then only if we drove nine
miles across the open prairie to

many other things—cold, short-
age of fuel, and only the bare
necessities of life. I remember
that sometimes I used to wear
mitts in the house to keep my
hands warm. If we bad to live
tinder the same conditions today
we could not do it. To those days
belonged hard work, many pri-
vations, but a greater peace of
mind. We had no car, no radio,
very few neighbours, our only
means of communication was the
telephone and our only news-
paper the good old Family Her-
ald and Weekly Star. Disasters in
other parts of the world did not
affect us at all:—sometimes we
didn't 'even hear of them until
they had ceased .o be news. Our
worries were purely local -- the
weather, the price of wheat and
oats, harvesting our crops and
the health of our families. Today
we have the same worries, plus
the pressure of modern living.
News comes to us 1101 off the
wires. To keep pace with it we
need a brain as agile as a cricket
Whether we live in the city or
country makes little difference.
For this reason don't you think
we should make an effort to get
a little more quietness into our
Iives, quietness that isn't pos-
sible if radio sob stories fill our
minds hour after hour, day after
day? Quietness has become almost
an unknown quantity we need
to treasure what little of it re-
mains.
How Can 1?
Q. Row can I clean suede
shoes without injuring the suede?
A. An ordinary rubber sponge,
such as can be bought at any ten -
cent store, the tight sort that has
a good resistance, is excellent for
keeping the suede shoes clean.
It will remove all the dust and
soil without harming the fabric,
as so many of the very stiff
brushes are inclined to do.
Q. What can I use as a sub-
stitute for olive oil?
A, When your supply of olive
oil is running low, when making
salad dressing, melt butter and
add it to the oil. It makes a good
substitute,
Q. Row can I prepare some-
thing different in the way of
dessert?
A, Tr y a combination of
chocolate ice cream and orange
sherbet. It makes a very colorful
dessert, and a delicious one.
Q. Bow can I matte an at-
tractive garnish with cranberry
jelly?
A. Slice the cranberry jelly
and cut into fancy shapes with e
cookie cutter or a knife, and yott
will have an unusual and attrac-
tive garnish for salads and des-
serts,
Q. )low ran I relieve a head-
ache?
A. A hone remedy that often
brings relief is to place a pinch
of salt on the tongue and allow
it to dissolve. In about ten mins
utes, take a drink of cold water,
Q. Dow can 1 avoid the un-
pleasant smoke that sometimes
arises when cooking hoteakes?
A. B,v tying some salt in e
bag and rubbing the griddle with
this instead of greasing it. It
is quite satisfactory.
Q. Ilow can I prevent cracks
in the enamel of a stove?
A. Never try to wipe off the
enamelled range with a wet
cloth while it is still hot, The
fine enamel surface may become
marI'ed by unsightly cracks,
Q. How can I protect the wall
paper over the conch from porn•
ade that men use ou their beads?
A, By placing a tapestry over
this place. This is much easier
to clean than the groasy spots
on wall paper.

Her Knees Creak,
So She Stays Single
You must posses: many
friends who, although in their
late twenties, thirties or evert
forties, haven't married. Do you
assume, in the ease of a man,
that he's been turned down,
and in the ease of a woman that
she hasn't been asked?
If so, you might be doing them
an injustice, Some folk remain
single because their standards
are high. What about Yvonne de
Carlo?. No one could be more
glamorous, so Why is she still a
bachelor girl? -Because her ideal
man must have the voice of
Laurence Olivier, the looks of
Robert Taylor, the humour of
Aly Khan and the physique of
Rock Hudson!
Another attractive unmarried
actress, Dora Bryan, who joined
the "Mttoh Binding" programme
with Richard Murdoch and Ken-
neth Horne, and is now in the
revue "At The Lyric," declared,
"I'nt too busy, and I don't want
to marry anyone in show busi-
ness." And then Dora changed
her mind — for it was recently
announced that she is to marry
her boyhood friend Bill Lawton,
the Lancashire League profes-
sional cricketer.
Gloria Nord, who starred in
the ice show "Chu Chin Chow"
at the Empire Pool, Wembley,
holds a somewhat similar point
of view. She likes skating too
much and feels it's impossible
to pursue a career and run a
home at the same time,
Then there's Sophie, said to
be the only woman dress de-
signer in Egypt, She has just
held her first showing of clothes
znacle from Egyptian textiles,
Twenty-seven years old and
very pleasing in appearance, she
says her career means that she
will probably never merry,
"An Egyptian husband," she
sighs, "would never allow me t0
continue with it. It would be
considered unsuitable,"
When it comes to people
whose names don't hit the head-
lines, their reasons for remain-
ing unmarried are often the last
you'd imagine.
One girl wrote to the papers
not very long ago to say that
every time she knelt down, her
knees creaked and she'd feel
such a fool in church. She
doesn't seem to have considered
a register office ceremony.
A most down-to-earth ex-
planation was given by a bache-
lor in Northern Ireland —
farmer, He was, he said, far
too busy looking after his pigs.
Besides, their upkeep was
cheaper than that of a wife and
when a pig grew fat you could
sell it.
Unless you know where he
hails from, you'll never guess
why Dan Covington is still
without a wife. It's because he
doesn't think polygamy is prac-
tical nowadys. Last July it was
said that Dan was the only
bachelor in Short Creek, Arizo-
na, the Mormon settlement
which was raided and broken up
by the police. Thitry-six men
there possessed eighty-six wives.
.Are you single? Maybe the
married state doesn't appeal to
you. But suppose you've been
hankering secretly after it, then
take a trip abroad this summer.
A little town in southern Hol-
land has thought up a wonder-
ful scheme. Last year the town
staged a Lonely hearts Con-
gress, attended by 800 bachelors
and spinsters from five coun-
tries.
Some of the guests announced
quite frankly that they hoped to
find someone to their' Mete. A
Belgian labourer said he'd
saved $450 as a preparation for
marriage, but had so far been
too shy to ask anyone at home.
SLIMMING DOWN
"Reduce while you work" is the
idea behind the plastic "slim-
ming suit" demonstrated below
by Adrienne Germaine, in Lon-
don, England. Doing household
,chores in the air -tight garment
induces heavy perspiration,
which is supposed to take off the
pounds.
Use the plastic slim suit and .. °
. , off conies excess weight.
