* Many a wife admires an at-

* loves beauty, and likes him to
share it. Doubt him? She
* would never insult him so
* More wives than yeti think
* do not let marriage prevent
"' their giving a second look at

All this may shock you. As

"Dear Anne Hirst: How about
the young man who told you he
wouldn't trust a girl if she let
him take liberties? The male
ego gets me clown!
"Why don't you and other
writers give these males a good
going-over? Three times out of
four it is they who need it, One
would think their feelings are
all that matter!

" Male readers of this column
* often charge me with favor-
* ing the women, while the lat-

* of the men. So evidently the
* opinions expressed here are
* pretty well balanced. It all de-
* pends on where you sit,
* doesn't it?
If you will continue reading
the column, I think you will
find that I do chastise the mod-
ern young man for his egoistic
attitude as often as I reprove
the feminine sex.... Intelligent
comments are always welcome;
thank you for yours.
Sometimes a man is driven to
deceit by his wife's ignorance of

Parking g a Spai i
In Canada motorists put a coin
into the parking -meter when
they park their cars; England has
car park attendants. But in Spain
when the motorist pulls up out-
side a shop he is usually ap-
proached by a noisy troop of
tough -looking kids who offer to
"guard" his car while he is away.
What they mean is that if he
pays them well enough they will
refrain from damaging his car.
The motorist selects the toughest
lad in the group and tips him to
keep the others off. This the lad
invariably does with the utmost
fidelity to the motorist — and to
his pals with whom he doubt-
less shares the proceeds after-
wards.

ialny moments, In pink and white, there's a matching make-up
Mase on a string, so the wearer can't be "hoodwinked" for lack
of adornment at the right moment.

Hasn't � it been wonderful —
one whole week of good weath-
er? And now the dust is flying
and farmers are ,hoping for rain,
The land is unbelievably dry. In
pasture fields there are deop
cracks all over the place Those
cracks . , it still gives me a
queer feeling to see them When
I was very young my brothers'
used to tell me to be careful —
those cracks in the earth Indi-
cated the possibirity that an
earthquake might come without
warning and where there were
extra big cracks the earth might
suddenly split wide open and
swallow me upl That was the
one of tlxe, unnecessary fears
that I carried around with me
in my childhood. Children some-
times become timid and' have
nightmares because of just such
frightening stories, If a child
shows signs of being unduly
nervous it is possible that fur -
there trouble might be avoided
if the young mother made e de-
termined effort to discover the
reason for her child's hidden
fear — and it generally is hid-
den,
But back to the land. We are
having some field work done on
our Firm this year. Our young
friend John, on a farm about
ten miles from here, wanted to
put our twelve -acre front field
into oats, That he has clone. Last
Saturday he came along with a
girl to drive the tractor on the
cultivator while he drove a
team of horses on the drill. He
left the horses here over the
week -end ready for harrowing
on Monday. We found it strange
to see horses in our barn again
and neither Partner nor 1 were
too happy in watering them. I
led Grey out while Partner fol-
lowed with Sandy. With only a
halter on his head Grey gave me
a queer, helpless feeling. I knew
if he decided to cut up I couldn't
control hit. Arid because of
chronic neuritis in one arm,
Partner had much the sante
feeling. We still like horses —
with someone else to handle
them! For ourselves we feel
more at home now with the car
and tractor.
Johnny much prefers horses, •
although he has a tractor too.
He says by using the tractor and
the horses he has put in thirty
acres of crop and used only fifty
gallons of gas. I suppose some
farmers think one way, some
another. Driving along a road in
Peel county last week 1 saw
one farm where two teams were
being used while just across the
road there were no less than
three tractors in one field, It
would be interesting to follow
that up and fmd out the net re-
turns from both fields.
Another thing I noticed in
Peel. I was on a gravel road; the
dust was terrific and the whole
district seemed more or les1
twenty-five years- behind the
times, Actually, no industrial
developments, no housing sub-
divisions, no paved roads, just
farm land, some well cultivated,
some not. But I wasn't deceived.
I knew that five miles further
on it was a defferent story. On
the =cared for land that I was
passing there was generally a
new house, the owner commut-
ing back and forth to Malton or
Brampton.
Another day I was In North
Halton and the country had a
genuine farm look — if you un-
derstand what I mean. The
houses had a "lived-in" appear-
ance, and the churches,, schools
and graveyards were tidy and
well cared for as if the com-
munity took pride in keeping
them that wey. And the wo-
men must be wonderful house-
keepers. That was obvious by
the lunch that was served that
day to the W.I. representative
4CL'I,a;144 1l:, D lri;1' ..ni,
How different from the ,visage
restaurant meal and at halt
the price. There were home-
made rolls "like mother used to
make.". We heard afterwards
that one of the ladies made no
less than 430 rolls!
Now the district annual is
over W.I. activities — except for
Branch meetings have more or
less come to an end. Which is just
as well as there comes a time
in the lives of farm women
when too many demands upon
their time becoming a burden.
There is so much extra work at
this time of the year that bay-
ing and harvest is upon us be •
-
fore we can turn around,
With the busy season upon us
I am wondering what is going
to happen down town where we
do our shopping. For years Sat-
urday night has been practical-
ly an institution in this district.
Farmers, along with their fami-
lies, get into 'good' clothes and
drive to town .-- to shop and to
visit until ten or eleven at night.
The week's work is behind them,
Sunday ahead of them, so that
Saturday night is very definite-
ly a time of. relaxation. Now
the merchants dorm town have
decreed that Friday is to be
open night Saturday they will
close at six. They can't see that
it will make any difference to
farm folk farmers can come
in Friday night just as easily
as Saturday. That we shall see
- the innovation comes into
effect next Saturday. It will not
affect us at all as we very rarely
do our shopping at night. Never-
theless I hate to see farm folk
deprived of this innocent pas-
time — the social Saturday
night. One thing I am sure of
— Friday night will never take
the place of Saturday night It
isn't the same thing at all.
'WE KNOW THE LINE!
He was travelling on a rail-
way line that was noted for its
discomfort and slowness.
After he had been an hour ac-
complishing a journey of only a
few miles; he eventually reached
the terminus.
"Well," he said to the ticket -
inspector at the barrier, "thank
goodness the worst part of the
journey is over."
The inspector looked interest-
ed.
"Is that so, sir?" he said. "And
where, if it's not a rude ques-
tion, are you bound for?"
"China!" snapped the traveller,
