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.

We are not surprised as, 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. considering the size of the bird,,, No attempt has been made lot: line the nest. It is just a har1il,'1' • dry hollow on a rough piece d A lawn. We would never hav known it was there except thal 'the mother and frther bird carr arid chased Partner away w he was mowing the grassi a l are very few cats in this ziei bourhood so we are hoping th nest will be left undisturbed, Other species of wild life around • here are a family of cotton tails, 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. r 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.
