"Dear Anne Hirst: F c r six months I've been going with a wonderful girl — and then my brother carne home from I{orea. She met him, and now they are inseparable! I feel sure they love each other. "I had not told her (or any- body) that I loved her because I wasn't sure, but this inter- ference has crystallized my af- fection. I don't see haw I can go on without her! Yet I want her to be happy, even if it must be with someone else. "Don't you think he should have been more loyal? I feel I've been double-crossed by a brother I've always been close to."

A good cattle dog is also generally a good house dog too. Our Tippy is just that sort of dog. Re- member I told you a few weeks back how she carne to the res- cue when Partner was dealing with a strange bull. And of course no one could visit the house or the barn without Tippy giving us fair warning, That's fine for the average vis itor, but when the caller hap- pens to be afraid of clogs and there is no one around, that's a different story. Last Sunday was the Harveat Festival at our church. After supper I went down to rhe evening service but Partner 4 survivors from fraigbier ors ac e sa[ak off eareNro semi, went out to milk his cows, (Those cows interfere with so many things we should like to do to- gether.) About seven -forty- five visitors arrived. The Man at the Wheel was going on to make another call while his wife and daughter visited with me. L— was nearly up to the house when Tippy carne on the run from the woodshed, bark- ing furiously. L— hurriedly wedged herself between the screen -door and the inside door, knocking with repeated ur- gency, But of course there was no one to answer the door -ex- cept Honey. Honey, hearing Tippy barking outside decided she might as well do her share from the inside, So there they were—a perfect trio. Tippy, Honey and L—, frantically calling to her husband to come and get her. But the Man at the Wheel was afraid of dogs too so all he did was sit there and shout encouragement to his wife—over the barking of the dogs --to come on back to the car, the dogs wouldn't hurt her! Which was true. Fortunately Partner heard the commotion and left the barn to investigate the cause. In a little while all was peace and quietness. And thus I found things when I returned home half an hour later. But I am not too sure that our friends agree with the idea the every farm family should have a good dog. Naturally we were sorry our friends found themselves in such a predicament but we still feel it was unnecessary. We also think that a person might as well not keep a dog at all as keep one that doesn't bark. Doge of course have a great in- stinct regarding human reaction to their watchdog tactics. A dog knows very well when a person is afraid of him—and the more fear the person shows the more the dog barks. Walk up to a house or barn and take ab- solutely no notice of any dog that runs out to meet you and the chances are he will just go about his business satisfied that you have no evil designs upon the house or its occupants. For my part the only kind of dog I am afraid of is the kind that slinks along behind me and doesn't bark. That sort of dog needs watching, Well, we seem to be getting plenty of rain these days, but was there ever a fall that was more beautiful? The few nights of white frost that we gat it little while ago really did the trick. And now the current spell of warm weather is pro. longing the season of colour and charm. And what is left in tits garcinit 18 still growing, Last week 1 was busy potting the geranium slips I had rooted in the ,gerden. And speaking of geraniums we have one small bed at the back of the house, hard as clay, and yet it grows the biggest geraniums I ever saw. I picked two leaves the other clay --one measured Steven inches across the other six and a hal!' One plant had 32 heads in full bloom at one time. And theft, just its it was at the height of its glory something began happening to my lovely ger minor. 0 n e by one the !crus:: neeied brown and died, but they dial not drop off.

Yield - 4 servings. Always Dependable it was no longer a thing of beauty nor could it possibly be a joy forever, so I pulled the plant up by the roots, Turning it upside down I examined the woody stalks and found a dozen or more creamy -white insects in and around the roots—insects like miniature centipedes — lots of legs and a pairtof prong-like feelers. Without a doubt these insects had been responsible for the slow death of the plant, But what were they and how does one get at the things to stop their work as. destruction? If anyone knows the answer I should be glad of advice as I hope to have a lot of geraniums bedded out next year, and it would be awful if they al] went the same way. Our grandson was here yes- terday and he must be getting to know his grandma as he went to sleep in my arms while his mummy and daddy were out picking apples. How Can ? Q. How can I wash suede jackets? A. Wash in warm water and soap suds, to which has been added about one tablespoon of household ammonia to a gallon of water. Rinse and stretch to the desired size to dry, Q. How can I avoid wasting cream? A. Rinse the cream pitcher with cold water before pouring the cream in it. This will pre- vent the cream from sticking to the sides of the pitcher. Q. How can I make the ceil- ing of a room look much high- er? A. Hang the curtains from the top of the window to the floor instead of stopping at the bottom of the window, Q. How can I prevent coal from burning too quickly? A. This will not happen if a solution of one-half pound of washing soda to a gallon of water is sprinkled over the coal a few days before burning. It will also /give more heat. Q. How can I hasten the coop- ing when using a double boiler? A, The cooking will be quick- ened if salt water is put in the outer part of the double boiler. It will create a greater heat than if ordinary water is used, Q. How can I remove ink stains that are on wood? A. Apply equal parts of lin- seed oil and vinegar. Use a soft cloth. Q. Row can I clean white felt? Decorate your ceiling with balloons for children's party. Inflated balloons will stick to the ceiling without cellulose tape, if you lightly rub each balloon over your hair to create electricity. .
