"Dear Anne. Hirst; When we
married over a year ago, we de-
cided to live with my parents until
we could afford our own 'home.
During that period my wife was
willing to live any place, just so
we could be alone,
"But when we
started looking,
she wouldn't set-
tle for anything
less than a five -
room house. She
considered only
the most expen-
sive
xpen-
sive furniture,
She decided my
clothes were not
fine enough. A id she didn't like
people. (She quit three jobs because
she couldn't get along with her co-
workers.)
"Now that we live alone, she
wants me to come home earlier, be-
cause she gets lonesome during the
day!
I have tried leaving her money
to run the house. But when the
month is up, she hasn't any left to
pay the bills. Her mother (who
works) and her sister (married) are
always wanting me to go on their
notes of security,
"What can I do- My wife won't
lake a job to help with finances and
I can't tell her another to stay
away. S.O.S."
LAY DOWN THE LAW
* Your wife was so anxious for
* a home of her own that she would
* have been grateful, you say, to
* move into a modest apartment.
* Ask her whether she would like
* to go back to your family's home
amv?
* If she keeps on spending as
* she is doing, you will not only
* be. unable to pay the rent, but
* you will be bankrupt. And then
she will have no choice about
* where you two must live.
* From what you tell me, she
* comes from a family of spend-
* thrifts, people accustomed to
* living beyond their income, tak-
* ing no thought of the future.
* And to obtain that end, they
o would borrow from anybody who
is foolish enough to lend them
* money.
* So perhaps your wife's irres-
* ponsibility is not entirely her
* own fault.
* She must, however, learn that
* she cannot spend money that she
* does not have. And you will
* have the difficult job of teaching
* her to do without those things.
* for which she cannot pay caste:
* Take over the handling of
* your income for a while: Close
* the charge accounts. Give her
* just enough to pay for the
* week's (or month's) household
'k expenses and stake her under-
* •stand that is all there is,
* Don't do this in anger, nor
* impatiently. Go over the figures
* of your income and living ex-
* penses, and, remind her that
* every month you must save a
* sum toward the future and any
* emergencies: You and she will
* want your owe home and family
* some day. Now is the time to
* provide for them.
* Remind your wife that she is
* your partner in an economic
* sense, too. That you depend on
* her to co-operate in this new and
*n'ireccssary arrangement, And that
* so long. as yen love each other
* and have a Place of your own,
* these "sacrifices" should hot be
*. sacridecs at all—but the chance
* to prove to each other that you
* understand and accept the true
'k essentials of life together.
* Her family must learn, and
* now, that they cannot look to
* you any further to help them out
* of their financial straits: If your
* wife will not tell them, you will
* have to.
* A man's social life is largely
* in the hands of his wife. This
* girl you married should be mak-
* ing friends through her church
* and neighborhood acquaintances
* —not only to keep her from
* being lonely, but to establish
* yourselves as an important social
* unit in your community. It will
* be hard for her at first, but it
* is the only answer to her childish
* dependence upon you. With your
* help and encouragement, she can
* gradually creep out of her shell
* and become the real helpmate
* that every man has the right to
* expect.
* In other words, you will have
* to help your wife grow up.
* Patience and gentleness, com-
* bined with firmness, should solve
* all your problems. •
If * *
If you find the girl you married
is still an adolescent dreamer, ask
Anne Hirst's advice. She under-
stands, and can be of practical
help. Write her at Box 1, 123
Eighteenth Street, New Toronto,
Ontario.
You've got to hand it to the
modern youngster. He refuses to
wait on himself.

One day I was in a local' butcher
store when another customer euro -
ed to ane and said --"What, you
here again, -Mrs. Clarke :.. do you
live downtown?" "Well, not quite,"
I answered, and then remembering
this other woman also carte front -
the country I added—"How about
you?" She laughed—"Yes, I de-
served that question—but it scents
every time I come downtown I
meet you in one or other of the
stores, so 1 just wondered .
thought maybe, you had moved to
town,",
* * *•
That started me thinking—just
wondering if I did make a lot of .
unnecessary trips. I remembered
the gas -rationing days—when I
never made a trip to town unless
'it was absolutely necessary and
always found it quite easy to keep
well within niy gas ration. But now,
although I begrudge the time it
takes to get dressed and go down
town, yct I do go- quite frequently
—on Saturdays sometimes two and
three tinges. Take last Saturday, for
instance. Business at the bank-
so I had to go down in the morn-
ing—banking hours being from
9:30 to 11. At the bakeshop we
have a standing order for. fruit
buns on Saturday but they are
never ready before 12 o'clock.- Na-
turally I couldn't wait for them—
there was dinner to get at home.
So I picked up a few groceries
and ambled back hone . , , I would
have to go dowii later.
* * *
About 4:30 I set out again—and
Thad to hurry because the library
closes at five—but I thought I
could change my books, pick up the
buns, get the evening paper and
be hone in plenty of tinge to get
supper. I got the books and buns
but the papers were late coming
in. I waited and waited, determined
not to make a third trip downtown.
That way 1 saved on gas but I
wasted a lot of time and barely
had supper on thetablebefore the
men came to to eat it.
:k * *
Or take any other day. Very
often if 1 miss the overnight mail
I take my letters to the 8:50 train
in the morning, Occasionally Part-
ner has said—"You might bring me
so-and-so from the drugstore."
Without thinking I agree. But
then I find the drugstore- don't
open until 9:30: Oh well, at least
the butcher store will be open and
I can get served there in a hurry
at this time in the morning. But one
man is very much occupied with
hacking up a side of beef and the
other fellow is constantly at the
telephone taking orders for the day.
Eventually they get arouad to
serving me. Perhaps another day
1 am busy at a paint job and leave
my trip to town until around 5:30.
There are only a few things to get
anyway. But, oh dear, the town
is busy—you don't know which
place to go first because they all
close at six. So 1 start at the post
office but get behind two people
• both Wanting money, orders—and
making out money orders is slow
business. From the post office X
go from store to store and appar-
ently I'm the only one in hurry
—certainly the ones behind the
counter are not. Jell, might as
well take back an evening paper
—they are sure to be in by this
time. "Paper?" says the girl at the
drugstore --"Oh, I'in sorry—they
came in early today and we have-
n't one left[" I give up and go
home,
So that's the way it goes wiled.
everyone is on an eight -hour -day
. except the farmer. Go down-
town early and you have to wait
for the stores to open: Go late and
you have to rush around to get
everything you want before the
doors close for the night. Back in
those leisurely, days when the main.
purpose of the storekeepers and
their assistants was to serve the
public rather than beat the time
clock, then you could do all your
business on just one trip to town.
In fact it was ' often possible to
make only one trip a week by
us:ng,a little forethought. In fact
1 do that even yet in ivittter-time
as I get Bob to pick up my orders
then. But in summer, with- cem-
pany coning and going all the
time, T like todo my. own shopping.
* ,
But, , ole dear, 1 shouldn't coni=
mete this column without men-
tion:ng what happens at the doc-
tor's office. Our doctor has his
office hours from 1- 4 and 7 - 9,
morning hours by appointment. So
to save time 1 get an appointment
for 10 a.m. Get there right on the
dot and there are- four people
ahead of mel "What time was your
appointment?" 1 asked one young
girl. "Ten o'clock," she answered.
The others said their appo'ntment
was 10 o'clock[ too. 1 begin to
wonder what good is an appoint-
ment if it as given to more than
one at the same time. "That's old
stuff," says . the young girl, "The
doctor says 10 o'clock but•he sees
you when he gets around to ie"
That may be true bet at (east we
can't grumble about - the . doctor's
hour's—I never knew one yet .who
had too much leisure time on his
hands.
EGGWHITE STJBSTITUTE
Eggwhae is albmnen, a protein.
What The Chemical and Engineer-
ing News describes as "synthetic
eggwhite" is now produced in Nor-
way from codfish. One pound of
this fish protein is equivalent to the
eggwhitecon tabled in 140 hen's eggs.
Nobody has even synthetized pro-
tein, The highly purified fish pro-
tein can be 'used for making bread,
cake, ice cream, mayonnaise, phar-
maceutical products, textiles, paints,
soap, cosmetics and paper. Trial
production of more than 600 pounds
of eggwhite a. day has been started
by two Norwegian firms. -

Experiments in household equip-

though it may be time -saving to
load the family washing machine to
capacity, it also means sacrificing
washer efficiency.
Nineteen machines, of various
types, had their effiiency tested with
different sized work loads. Maxi-
mum loads in most were nine'
pounds, or in some cases 10..
Summing up the experiment, Ka-
therine Taube, household equipment
specialist states:
"In general, a load of six or seven
pounds in a domestic washing ma-
chine will result in better soil
removal and, more even washing
than a heavier load." -
