SOLDIER'S BIRTHDAY
"Dear Anne Hirst: I have been
going steady with a soldier who
is now overseas. My 17th birth-
day was a few months ago, but
not knowing about it he did
not get me anything.
"His own birthday comes soon
and I don't know whether to
send him something, or just a
card. What do you suggest?
"I think you are doing a won-
derful job for us youngsters, and
for my part I thank you."
WONDERING"
Send the soldier a birthday
* cad by airmail. It may arrive
* late, so write a pretty note on
• it.
* Say you have just learned
* about his anniversary and the
* card may not get there in
* time; therefore, you want him
* to know you are thinking of
* him and looking forward to
* the time you two can celebrate
* birthdays together.
* This will be a gracious ges-
* ture, and the more welcome
* because it is unexpected.
* * *
There is no substitute for be-
ing good; it is as simple as that.
Don't set the stage for tempta-
ion, and if it comes run away
from it . . In any hour of
trouble, ask Anne Hirst for cour-
age and the strength to do right.

CAMPAIGNS TO "FORGIVE GIRARD" — At Kagohara, Japan,
Fukuli Shimitzu, a member of an ultra -nationalistic youth party
that has launched a "ForgiveGirard" campaign, shows one of
his posters to Haru "Candy" Sueyama, sweetheart of U.S. Army
Specialist 3/C William Girard, who is accused of accidentally
killing a Japanese woman.

Not more than fifty feet fronel

ever since we came killdeer have
been very busy on .our lawn --71
and they are so tame-. Have you
ever seen a killdeer's nest—that '
is if you can call what we see
a nest? In a slight hollow in the
grass the mother birdhas laid'
four speckled eggs — big eggs.

No attempt has been made lot:

known it was there except thal

a couple of grass snakes—and
mosquitoes. When we are waterl
ing the plants we think there
are plenty but compared with the •
farm we know they are nail,'
over -abundant. Any time we
drop in at the farm to look
around the mosquitoes greet usr
in swarms. They get a good mea1
while we are there but what,
do they live on 1 wonder when,
there are no people around?,
Quite apart from the result'
of the Federal Election (1) last'
week was quite interesting — in
the places we went and the,
people we met. One visit was
near here, to a home where'
they kep white rabbits, chinchil-
las and a dog like Rusty. Some'
of the chinchillas are worth
$500 a piece. Lovely litttle
things with fur like chiffon -
velvet. Apparently they are easy
to feed and keep clean—much
less work than rabbits. But ima-
gine one of those wee things,
being worth as much as many '
a highly bred registered cowl
It doesn't seem reasonable but
there it is. And think what it
would mean to lose one.
As for the rabbits — I have
always had a sneaking fancy for
rabbits so I think Partner was
quite relieved when we came
away without any. There was a
new litter too — little white
bits of fluff with beady pink
eyes so 1 imagine 1 might have
bought a pair had we wanted
them. It is really rattier fatal
to show one's interest in domes -
fleeted livestock. I have already
been offered a kitten and been
promised a canary. A bird would
he something new in our house.
At the moment we don't want
anything at all to tie us down.
We are to busy doing some of
the things together we have al-
• ways wanted to, but never could,
because, as Partner used to say
"he was tied to the cows' tail."
Last Friday we spent the day
on a farm near Shelburne. We
were almost in time for break-
fast! The weather was grand
when we left here but north of
Orangeville we drove through
heavy rain. We thought it was
coming as the lovely Caleden
hills were shrouded in mist.,
Partner managed to milk three
cows before we came home and
found he hadn't forgotten the
art. The cows were registered
Jerseys — and the calves like
• little fawns — veithout any spots
• of course. During the day the
• skies cleared and we were able
to feast our eyes on ,the lovely
scenery. But then the humidity
closed in and the drive home was
not too pleasant. We got back
soon after eight, meeting a con-
siderable amount of traffic head-
ing north, presumably to sum-
• mer cottages, which I hope they
found less stifling than our
house when we got back. With
unsettled weather in the offing
we left the place shut up and
the curtains drawn. It took a
while to cool the place as there
• wasn't a breath of air anywhere.
Suddenly, it is summer.
Another interesting event was
a W.I. meeting at a lovely farm
• home not far from Ginger Farm.
It was a striking example of
eVehat can be clone with old farm
ouses if one is prepared to
spend the money. Much the same
could have been done at our
• place. We knew it but what
would have been the use with
the new highway right at the
front door? So we have gone
modern instead and have al-
ready discovered that modern
conveniences can be very in-
convenient. At Ginger Farm we
had an old-fashioned roll -edge
bathtub — easy to get out of
by grabbing the edges. Here
we have a full-length stream-
lined affair which Partner finds
is not the safest thing for arthri-
tic joints. The first thing I did
was to buy a suction rubber bath
mat but even that isn't the an-
swer. What he needs ig some-
• thing to hang on to to raise
• himself up. There is a big tap,
of course, but how can one be
sure the tap wouldn't come away
from the wall? Has anyone any
suggestions to offer? Seems to
me this is something that might
be taken up by Good House-
keeping or a Welfare Agency.
There is no doubt about it,
stream -lined bathtubs are a
menace to eldgely or partially
disabled person' irreepective of
• age. Too often broken bones
have been the result of slipping
in the bathtub. Somebody to the
rescue, please.

Modern Etiquette
by KoLerta Lee
Q. Will you please list some of
the expenses of the bride's par-
ents for he wedding?
A. The invitations, the bride's
trousseau, decorations for the
church, soloists and organists at
church, transportation for the
bridal party, the wedding re-
ception, dinner or breakfast,
the bride's presents to her
bridesmaids, and a wedding
present to the couple.
Q. If one is served a cup of
coffee filled to the brim, would
it be all right to bend over the
cup and take a few sips so as
to avoid any danger of spillage
when lifting the cup?
A. You must not bend over.
Take a sufficient number of
spoonfuls of coffee and sip these,
until you are sure you can lift
the cup without spilling.
Q. When having a piece of
silver for a baby inarked with
only one initial, should it be the
first or the last?
A. The first.
Q. How does a woman secre-
tary identify herself on the tele-
phone to other business people,
as Miss Adams, or as Helen
Adams?
A. Usually, as Miss Adams.
However, if she is well ae-
quainted with the other per -
Sons and they know her by her
first name, it is quite all right
for her to announce herself as
Helen Adams.
Q. Is It necessary for a bride -
elect to reply to notes of good
wishes from friends who have
seen her engagement announce-
ment in the newspaper?
A. While not necessary to
write notes, she may telephone
some of her friends and she
most certainly should thank all
those whom she meets.
Q. Is it correct to pour gravy
from a gravy pitcher, or must
one use a gravy ladle?
A. Either way is correct.
Q. When one has received an
invitation two weeks In advance
of a large dinner party in a
friend's home when should one
acknowledge this invitation?
A. Immediately. There is
nothing so inconsiderate as
keeping a hostess waiting for a
reply to such an invitation.
Q. What should a girl do when
a man calls -at her home unex-
pectedly, and she has a pre-
vious engagement?
A. Tell him immediately that
she is sorry, but that she has
an engagement. She may, if she
wishes, invite him to gall again.
Q. Our son has just become
engaged, and so far we have not
met the family of the girl. Isn't
it our son's .obligation to take
us to meet his fiancee's family?
A. Certainly it is, and as soon
as possible.
A generous tipper at a rettOrt
hotel found a new waiter serving
him at breakfast one morning,
and said: "Where's ray regular
waiter, that boy called Lew?"
the new waiter replied, "Sor-
ry, sir, Lew won't be serving
you any more. I wan you in a
crap game last night."
