MARRIAGE DISAPPOINTS
"Dear Anne Hirst; We've not
been married six months; and
my husband is, I'nh afraid, just
plain selfish. He never takes me
anywhere unless I beg him to;
we used to dance once a week
regularly and I've asked him to
keep that up, but he won't. He
goes alone, however, whenever
he feels like it.
"All my friends ask him about
me and wonder why I'm not with,
him. I am ashamed to tell them.
Ile excuses himself by saying he
doesn't want any other .man to
look at me! I don't see how I
can live like this much longer. I
think I'm going to have a baby,
and if that is true I shan't be
able to go anywhere.
"I have had many hints from
your column, and thank you for
them now. Please tell we what
to do. EDITH"
* Your husband is being plain
* selfish in not taking you out.
* He knows you love dancing
* and people, and he hides you
* as though he were ashamed to
* be seen with you, That isn't
* fair, nor is it kind.
* The happiest marriages are
* between two people who are
* so thoughtful of each other
* that they plan the other's hap-
* piness ahead, and find their
* own joy in giving such plea-
* sure. Your husband is robbing
* himself as well as you and, if
* he will practice the above idea,
* he will soon find how well it
* pays off, These are the days
* he should indulge you, while
* you are able to get about, Ask
* him to read this today, and
* think about it.

If misfortune has attacked your
marriage, stand by your man. He
depends on you now as he never
did before, and he looks to you
for comfort and hope . Anne

on. Write her at Box 1, 123

It must have been the heat
what else would make me '
do what I. did? My' usual invi-
tation came along from the
C.N.E. —: Tor Press and Radio
Day. Too- hot' to go, I thought.
And then — but it won't be any
hotter there than here, So I
took the mid-morning tins; pres-
ented, my pass at _the -.gates, The
man took it, looked :at it; looked
at me and then — "Lady," he
said, "this isn't any good to y.ru

ference that probably saved the
management quite a, lot tat
money. The cards applied to any
day — after the blanks had been
filled in by hand with the name
and date for their presentation.
Well, I thought, I'm here so I
may as well make the most of
my day.
My first trip was to see the
flotilla of destroyers lying at
anchor in the bay. They were
slightly shrouded in mist whico
somehow added .to their at-
tractiveness — grey ghosts on
the water. There is something
about ships at sea — or boats
on the bay' — that stirs the
emotional imagination. I can't
describe it — it is something
you feel — or you don't feel.
They are so many things — aus-
tere, protective and magnifi-
cent. Maybe my feelings go
back to early childhood when it
was instilled into us that Brit-
ain was "mistress of the seas"
and we sang "Rule Brittania"
with pride and assurance. Be
that as it may the boats had
more fascination for me than
the planes and nuclear weapons
that were on display.
Presently I left the water-
front in search of a place to
eat - cool and not too crowd-
ed. At the Exhibition .. what
a hope! You might be surprised.
as I was. I found a new place
in the Manufacturers' Building.
Air-conditioned, good food, good
service, overlooking the lake and
not too crowded — probably be-
cause meal -hunting folk have
not yet discovered its where-
abouts. I thought it was quite a
find and came out rested and re-
freshed, ready to visit the ex-
hibits in the Queen Elizabeth
Building. But there my enthu-
siasm soon gave out and I head-
ed for the Fashion Show, where

thoroughly enjoyed, — a Jap-
anese children's teaparty. The
lighting, costumes and charac-
terization were delightful. Then
came the, tea where I'met several
people I knew. (I had had my
card changed at the executive
office,)..
My next trip was to the Elec-

Show — by Auto-train.'I want-

around anyway, just in case. By
that time I was ready to call
it a day and took a cab over to
Dee's place as Arthur had prom-
ised to run me home. Ten min-
utes later a terrific storm blew
up. Rain pelted down so fast
the gutters couldn't take it. I
sat on the veranda watching.

three years old, running, soaked

.'Thought you might like to

rain," I said to him on the phone.
"Rain — what rain?" says he.
"Don't tell me it hasn't been
raining there," I exclaimed.
"Just a few drops, nothing to
speak of."
I could hardly believe it. But
that, of course, has been the
weather pattern for most of this
summer.
And it is still hot and hor-

Friday night, while driving me
home, Art stopped at Dixie
shopping centre to get a few
supplies and I went into the
grocery store with him. How
people go through that ordeal

ing for the shortest line-up and

a queue everywhere and all
the double -deck carts are loaded

at least, came away thankful I
can shop in the daytime. I put

sations of retirement.
Q. Just what is the correct
way to eat an olive? Does one
put the whole olive into the
mouth at once, or does one take
only small bites out of it while
holding it in the fingers?
A. A very small stuffed olive
may be put into the mouth
whole. A larger stuffed one
should be eaten in two bites.
A plain olive is held in the
fingers and pieces bitten off
around the stone.
Worth Twice Their
Weight In Coil
Little animals whose silky,
dense fur was once used to fa-
shion robes for Inca royalty in.
South America are rocketing to
popularity in many parts of the
world,
They are chinchillas, whose
natural home is in the sunny
altitudes of the Andes, where
they 1 i v e at an elevation of
nearly 19,000 ft. There's a world
b 00 m in their precious fur,
which is so light that a square
yard of chinchilla fabric weighs
no more than a square yard of
rayon.
Chinchilla pelts were first im-
ported from Chile early last
century. Today the breeding of
chinchillas inmany plaees is
booming on a greater scale than
ever before.
The demand for chinchilla fur,
because of its remarkable light-
ness and, fine quality, is coming
not only from furriers bast from
exclusive dress and hat design-
. ers as well, There is a world
market for millions of chinchil-
la pelts.
Because of their value chin-
chillas were once nearly trap-
ped out of existence. Because
of the height at which they hiv-
ed, many of the trappers themt-
selves perished — victims of the
extreme cold,
Forty years ago chinchillas
were just about the rarest ani-
mals in the world. The govern-
ment of Chile had already pass-
ed strict laws forbidding the
export, dead or alive, of these
almost extinct creatures which
look a cross between a squirrel
and a bush baby.
So serious, also, became the
problem of the disappearance of
chinchillas from Peru, Ecuador
and 'Bolivia t hat the govern-
, ments there prohibited export
and trapping on pain of the loss
of a hand for the first offence
and death for the second. The
,export by sea and air of chin-
chillas had at one time reached
400,000 pelts.
Today the t in y but highly
prized chinchillas are being
bred in large ' numbers on
farms in many parts of America.

themagket price for every
breedirig' pair sold was between
$250 .,and„ $300,' that'the limeyanimals :Were worth about twice
