"Dear Anne Hirst: Many of your
letters come from women who have
failed in marriage, and blame, 'the
other woman.' I am one of those.
From the standpoint of convention,
I am an outcast.
"When I left
my shiftless hus-
band, I clad two
small children.
It was impos-
sible t o find
work, so I start-
ed going out
with men .
A third child was
born.
"Now I've met a man who loves
me and my children. He is willing
to marry me and take care of us.
He has a good position—but he is
married, and has two grown boys,
CANT GET FREE
".Elis wife has refused a divorce.
She has threatened me, too. She
is the nagging kind, who pretends
to be always sick.
"Now I think 1 am to have his
baby. Since he has always provi-
ded for his family, and will con-
tinue to, don't you think his first
duty is to his unborn child?
"How can we make his wife see
that it would be best for all con-
cerned to set him free to marry me?
We won't give each other up.
NI. G."
o If this man can convince his
* wife that she should free him
* to marry you, he will be one of
.* the very few who succeeded.
* Women are possessive creat-
* ures. Once we acquire a man, we
* won't let him go. She will be no
* exception, I expect, particularly
* because a baby is expected. When
4 she learns of that she is apt to
* retort: "That's her lookout."

Modern Etiquette
By ROBERTA LEE
Q. Is it proper to use the type-
writer for social correspondence?
A, Yes, this is quite proper.
There was a time when the type-
writer was considered suitable for
only business correspandence, but
that time has passed. Of course,
stationery should be used when
only the single -sheet variety of
typing. a letter, and be sure to
sign your name by hand.
Q. If a girl has no parents and
she has no means of giving a par-
ty to announce her engagement,
how can she make her announce-
ment?
A. The best way to do this is
through the society -news page of
her local paper.
Q. When passing your plate at
the dinner table for a second he-p-
ing
ep-
ing of some dish, what should you
do with your silverware?
At Always leave this on the
piste.
Q. What are the duties of the
maid -of -honor while the marriage
ceremony is taking place?
A. She stands nearest the bride,
takes her bouquet or prayer book
while the ring is being put on,
•returning them at the proper time,
and arranges the bride's train when
she turns from the altar to proceed
up the aisle after the ceremony.
Q. Is it the man's or t h e
woman's place to make the move
to stop for conversation on °the
street?
A. The man's
Q. Should the water glasses be
filled before the guests are sum-
moned to the table for a luncheon?
A. Yes, the glasses are filled,
and the butter is placed on the
plates.
Q. Shou'd the recipient of gifts
at a birthday party open those
gifts immediately, or wait until af-
ter the party?
A. Under no circumstances
should the gifts be opened later.
They should be opened immediate-
ly upon receipt, and each donor
thanked sincerely, It would be an
act of bad taste and thoughtless-
ness not to allow your friends to
witness the opening of their gifts.
Q. I have heard that wearing
a tuxedo is not proper on Sunday
evenings. Is this correct?
A. White tie and tails are very
rarely worn on Sundays—but tux-
edos are often worn, and quite
properly.

More changes in our family
life! This time Bob has provided
the exitement — or maybe lack of
it would be more correct — that
is, insofar as we are concerned.
Staying put isn't usually consi-
dered exciting — which is what
we are most likely to do. But there
may be excitement in store for
Bob, as last Thursday he started
out for Alberta, alone, and driv-
ing his own car. He intends stick-
ing to Canadian roads all the way
so the going is bound to be rough
in spots. How wonderful to be
footloose and free! 'Ever since he
was in training at Wainwright
during the war Bob has wanted
to take a trip back. to Alberta. He
expects to be away two -'tenths
— but I have a feeling that the
"two months" may strtch out con-
siderably.
Of course we find it quite lone-
some without hint coming in and
out, even though be wasn't work-
ing at home. But I suppose we
shall get used to it. Daughter
phoned yesterday to sec how we
were standing up to it, and re-
minded us that we still have a
"son" even though Bob is away.
Yes, that is something to remem-
ber — and appreciate,
Now Daughter is married and
Bob headed west perhaps we shall
get down towork in a more set-
. tied frame of mind, Of course the
cows have been milked right
along;, haying done; house and
meals looked after, but apart from
those little "chores" many things
have been put off. First, until
after the wedding, and then until
after Bob shall have departed for
the west. You folks will know
what I mean. Naturally there have
been things that couldn't wait —
tnmatoes and peaches had to be
done. But no pickles yet. Maybe
the house will be reeking with
onions and boiled vinegar some-
time this week.
Our unpredictable weather has
changed again. Now it is really
like fall. But who knows - we
may be enduring . another heat
wave by the time this column gets
into print. If so it won't he be-
cause I want it — heaven forbid.
I have had all the heat I want for
awhile. Another unpredictable thing
. the cattle market. Prices down
one to three dollars on beef. And
yet we don't seem to get any more
for our money at the butcher
shops. •I don't get it. Maybe som-
one knows the answer — we cer-
tainly don't.
The drop in cattle prices is real-
ly serious. A fernier can keep his

cattle just so long, and then they
have to go. There be a definite
reason shortage of feed; lack of
stable room; milkers that turn out
to be boarders, or cows that fail
to get in calf...If a farmer has to
sell on a depressed market it means
quite a loss. And the average farm-
er cannot stand losses too well
these days — not with operating
costs so high.
I often wonder what is likely
to happen in the event of another
depression, even on a lesser scale
than before. I don't •want,, to be
gloomy but it does no harm to
lay to figure out things otice in
awhile, In fact, it sometimes helps
considerably.
Conditions having changed so
much since the "thirties" makes
me wonder how well we would
face up to reverses. The Majority
of ferin folk now have so much
more — cars, hydro, radios, milk-
iug machines, coolers, refrigera-
tors, trackers, and in many cases
machinery with power take -off.
And we have become used to going
Pinata ,and seeing things. Very
nice, and,to a certain extent, as
it should be, But there is a snag.
This "higher standard of living"
-- if you can call it such — runs
into looney, If the money isn't
equal to future requirmouts, what
then? How shall we retrench?
especially when the one thing we
did have plenty of in the thir-
ties is no longer available, By that
I moan labour, It has been said
that in present day construction
and building, 607o of the total
cost is for labour. I wonder what
percentage of farm costs are spent
in custom work, or in operating
high-priced machinery — the
equivalent of labour?
Who knows, co-operative, or
group farming, may yet be the
answer to the problems of tomor-
row. If farm prices continue to
drop only big -business -farmers will
be able to operate independently.
Hundred -acre farmers will have to
cut their costs, share machinery
and change work as they did be-
fore. Looking back it seems to be
there was more friendliness and
cooperation among farmers then
than there is now, The tendency
these days is to beat the other
fellows' time in getting the baler,
the . combine or in filling silo.
CAT STATIC
Cats frequently change position
and lick themselves incessantly just
prior to a storm because the air
is then overcharged with the elec-
tric fluid to which cats are extreme-
ly sensitive. Maybe that's where
our weatherman gets his dope,
