"Dear Anne Hirst: I have been
happily married for nearly 29
years to the only man I ever
loved. We never prospered until
lately, but we have always been
in love and have always gone
everywhere together. Neither of
us got past high school, but he
is kind to me, and has high
ideals. Ile is over 50, I am 42.
"For over a year zny husband
has been closely associated in
business with a highly educated
woman. I am very sure she is
in love with hien, and I'm afraid
he is beginning to yield. He is
not nearly so affectionate, and
he is hard to get along with,
and doesn't take me out often,
I am not in too good health just
now, and I an uneasy. I know
that men of middle age some-
times imagine themselves in
love with younger women. To
be truthful, this is driving me
so that I am actually afraid I
will lose my mind.
"I don't want to stand by and
lose hint now. I have thought of
selling out and moving, letting
him take whatever work he can
get . , , I am careful of my ap-
pearance, but you know it is
easier for a woman with no
home responsibilities to look her
best at all times . . , We have
an adopted child of four, and
we love her as our own. Some-
times I believe it Is only she
that is holding him to us now.
If you can advise me, Pll
try to do as you say.

CALM YOU1t FlaieltS
* From unprinted parts of
° your letter, I believe it is the
* present state of your nerves
* that has aroused these doubts.
" It is not unusual for a husband
* to be restrained. at times; if
s' he is worried for any reason
he is no mood to go places. —
* And what real reason have
* you for thinking this woman
o loves him?
" I urge you to try to over-
" conte your fears. If they have
* any foundation at all, you will
o learn it soon enough. Worry-
ing as you are worrying now
o can only unfit you to meet
* whatever erisis may arise,
° When we are not well our
" imagination plays havoc with
° our reason; mare than that,
o we are in no mental condition
* to make any vital decision,
* So I suggest you think no
° more of pulling up stakes and
° moving. Your husband is earn-
ing more now than he ever
* has, and he would undoubted
• ly resent such an idea,
o Your job is to take it for
o granted that everything is all
* right; that perhaps he is over-
* working, or concerned about
o new business problems. Give
* him the benefit of the doubt.
o If you do not control your
o anxiety, he is bound to sense
° it; and no matter how' things
* stand, that c an only make
° them harder for both of you.
o A wife's best protection
o against her husband's infidel.
° ity is believing in his into-
o grity. If she finds she was
° wrong at least she has played
° her part as she promised; and
° if she finds she was wrong at
° least she has played her part
° as she promised; and if she is
° right, she is doubly thankful
° she held on. Try to see this
° new, and relax , , . Write me
* again if you like. I under-

"Dear Anne Hirst: In my re-

and today I write to tell you
how much I appreciate your aid.
You told me to hold on, and I
did. You said my husband would
realize how much he loves me,
and he has, Everything is fine.
"Here is a bit of advice I'd
like to give other married cou-
ples who don't get along: Go to
church, and trust in God, I no-
tice you often advise this, and
I applaud you every time ,
That is what saved my mar-
riage; I kept praying, and wait-
ing for a change. Through my
patience, my husband started
going to church -- and God
made the change,

About the middle of last week
I thought the main topic of niy
column today would be the
International' Ploughing Match.
Could anything be further from
the truth? "hurricane Hazel"
washed out the ploughing match
—literally, and certainly as a
news item. At least temporarily.
But after the story of destruc-
tion north and west of Toronto
has been told and retold, the
loss of life and human suffering
assessed — if it can ever be
assessed — then the time will
come when someone will re-
member the ploughing match
and the disappointment and loss
it brought to so many people.
Partner and I went to Bres-
lau on the only good day there
was last week, We were only
there a few hours but enjoyed
it. And we thought how well
everything had been organized.
The police had perfect control
Of the traffic and parking and
the Bailey Bridge contributed
immensely to the safety of the
public, We drove home through
autumn scenery and all seem-
ed right with the world.
But that night it rained again,
Our concern at the time was
only for those organizing and
attending the ploughing match.
Then storm warnings by radio
became more serious and insist-
ent. It rained and it rained.
At first a drizzle that looked as
if it could either clear up or
get worse. As you know, it got
worse, much worse. At Ginger
Farm the wind blew and drove
the rain under the shingles and
down the chimneys. The kitchen
roof leaked badly, raindrops
dripping monotonously into
pails and pans. We thought that
was all the damage in the house
until I went into the living
room and there around the fire-
place was a deepening pool of
creosote water coming down
from the chimney, The same,
to a lesser extent, in the dining
room, I went upstairs—watery
creosote working its way in
from the chimneys in two bed-
rooms,
Partner came in from the
barn . , - the ditch was full and
the creek was away over the
bridge in the back lane. Weather
reports were getting more
•serious all the time; Partner
decided the cows would be
safer if left in •the ,barn, At
least he would know where
they were, If the bridge went
out during the night he would
have trouble in getting them
home, We spent the rest of the
time up to midnight mopping
up water and creosote and
listening to the radio, Tu our
Immense relief both the hydro
and telephone continued to
function, although soon after
midnight the hydro went off for
about an hour and a half, But
we went to bed, so tired we
actually went to sleep. -
The next morning , , . water
in the cellar, fences either side
of the back lane carried away.
The top of the bridge almost
Intact but the approach to it on
either side just a deep gully.
We were certainly glad the
cows were in the stable, The
barnyard, of course, was flood-
ed. Bob and Art phoned to' in-
quire haw we had fared and
asked what they could do to
help. We needed help, all right,
but what had to be done had
to be attended to right away,
A temporary fence of post and
barbed wire had t0 be put up
in a hurry as the cows were
getting restive and needed a
drink. That was, .and is, all
that can be done until the
weather clears and some of the
mud dries up. Fixing the bridge
will be quite a job.
But what were our troubles
compared with the poor souls
in Etobicoke, Thistletown and
Whitby? It just seems impos-
sible that such a tragedy could
occur in Ontario. And that, I
believe, was half the trouble—
no one believed it could happen
despite the storm warnings.
But of course storm warnings
could not avert the disaster.
People have reached the stage
when they pay so little atten-
tion to the weather. I know
there were many people around
here, anyway, who had arrang-
ed an evening out last Friday,
and they set out regardless.
Some may not even have heard
the storm warnings. I have
noticed young people in parti-
cular who have the radio going
hour after hour but at any tine
a station finishes a variety pro-
gramme and announces a news-
cast the dial is tuned in to an-
other station—and more variety!
Well, that is about all I can
tell you about the effect of the
storm around here — • flooded
basements and mired fields are

about the worst damage. At
Ginger harm, except for the
damages already mentioned, we
have fared not too badly—ex-
cept that Partner has an ugly
barbed-wire cut on his' hand
and I have developed quite a
nasty attack of lumbagos This
column is being written under
difficulties, believe nee. Lum-
bago is often the subject for
jesting but anyone who has
had it knows it is no joke. And
recovery is one thing you can't
hurry. Patience is the main re-
quisite — and patience is one
thing I don't possess in any
great quantity—not for things
like lumbago, anyway.

Modern Etiquette
Q. I have a very good, friend
Who Is ooustantly making glar-
lug errors of grammar in her
sl>eeeb. Wouldn't it be an rigb*
for the to &tempt to correct
her?
A. I don't know how close
your friend is, but in many
cases this would quickly end a
"beautiful friendship." Strictly
speaking, it is very rude to cor-
rect another 'person's speech,
unless specifically requested to
do so.
Q, When a young woman IS
seated at a table in a public
diningroom and another woman
stops at her table to chat for st
minute, should the y o u n g
woman rise?
A. I5'o* unles the woman who
stops is elderly.
% 'Is it all right to stack the
dishes when clearing a dinner
table?
A. No; the person who is
clearing the table should take
no Imre than one plate in each
hand at a time,
Q. When unfolding a napkin
at the dinner table, should 1t
be above or below the table?
A. Below the table.
Q. Can you please tell uses
how to fold napkins into various.
Iancy designs?
A. I could probably suggest
a few "fancy" folds, butthis
practice is frowned upon by
good society. It is far prefer-
able =e make a plain, squares
fold of the napkin.
Q. Is it the man's or alta
woman's place to make the
nm've to stop for eouversatos*
when they meet on the street?
A. Either one may do this.
Q. If there is to be in) eater.
lug service engaged for a wed.
ding reception, Is it permissible
to ask friends of the bride or
bridegroom to help out?
A. This would depend upon
how close these friends are and
upon their personal reactions to
such a request. Some people
would consider it an honor to
be asked, while others might
think it an imposition.
Q. Should totthpicks be
placed on the dinner table?
A. Certainly not! Since it
is not good form to be seen
using a toothpick in public, . ' - -a
they do not have any place on
the table.
Q. le 11 correct for a span to
use the double -sheet type of
stationery for Itis personal cor-
respondence?
A. While this is all right,
men usually prefer the singlet
sheet variety.
