Some weeks he dosen't bring home anything, other times over $150; but his yearly average is less than. half that. I have done some figuring, but he always insists that a see:tried man never gets any- w::ere, think it is because when he +=tee home from the war he made. a great deal of money fast. It is true that he gambled it all away, but he still believes he Mil repeat that luck. I have triad to get him to work for a salary for just one year so we can pay our debts. He won't. -.Tor two years now I have held a job, which I took so we could have a little place of our own. I don't mind working, and being alone with him is worth it, although I would far rather stay home and raise a family.

He isn't good-looking and he hasn't any, money, but when we are together we are perfectly happy. "My family is objecting vio- lently. If I should marry him, I would have to give them up, and perhaps all my friends, "Don't you think we could make a go of it? WILHELMINA". * It is not likely. One can ac- * quire the social amenities;.but one cannot change one's blood. * Suppose you marry this man * and have his children? Don't * you realize that they too, * could be social outcasts? Our * civilization in this country * doesn't seem to have arrived * yet at the point where it * readily accepts children of * mixed races. * As for you, you would have * to live as the man's own * people live; accept them as * your own (and with complete * loyalty) and cut yourself off * from all those you love now. I do not doubt you love him, * but marriage is not just a mat- * ter between two people; it is * a family affair, and It con- * cerns the community too. You * know this, I expect, but you * have tried not to think about * it. * I hope you will break off * this friendship iminediately. * * * It is regretable that so few men have high regard for their wives' business acumen.

Oc.ean Travel Heavy Next Year Reservations now being placed with Cunard offices across Can- ada fore berths to Europenext year 'indicate that passenger traffie on the historic St. Law- rence river route will be ex- tremely brisk during the 1958. summer season, the Cunard , Line said today. From April 16 to Nov. 28 next season four 22,000 -ton Cunard vessels -- the Saxonia, Iver- nia, Carinthia and the new"Syl-' vania — will make 43 eastbound sailings out of Montreal.. The Carinthia and the Syl- vania will run between Mon- treal and. Liverpool via Gree- nock, Scotland, while the Saxo- nia and ,Ivernia will sail re- gularly to Southampton via Le Havre. On herr April 24 sailing fron Montreal the • Ivernia will sail to London (Tilbury) - via Le Havre and the Saxonia will have the same ports of call when she leaves Montreal May 8. On several westbound sailings next season Cunard steamers w i 11' call at Cobh, Ireland, to embark passengers for Canaria. Calls at Quebec on eastbound sailings of the Ivernia and Sax- onia, introduced this year for the convenience of passengers wish- ing to visit the historic city be- fore embarking for Europe,. have proved popular with travellers and the practice will be continu- ed during the 1958 summer sea- son with the same steamers scheduled to stop at Wolfe's Cove.

Could anything b better? Second marriages late in .1 are not always desirable, p' ticularly if the parties are ii well acquainted. Sometimes,. happens there man — or .t woman r- marries for ulter, motives — for a home, or housekeeper or for a comfor able income. Tragic family fri; tion is sometimes the inevitab result. But where a widow a a widower have known ea other for years; realize and it derstand each other's loneline then marriage seems a most sirable solution — and one tl a should be welcomed by the grown children. The next surprise was not ae pleasant. A phone call from ati old neighbour . . would I come;; , down to see his sister — shk was not at all well. Here was 4 brother and sister, over seventy,,'- sharing a.home but neither reale': ly able to look after the other. I found an unhappy situation and so little I could actually, do in a day's visit. Nor did I feel any better when the poor little soul said to her doctor --. "If this woman (meaning .me); would stay for a month I would soon be on my feet." I came home that night wishing I could be in three places at once "as Dee and her family could also do with a little assistance right,: now. However David will prob, ably be coming for another visit soon and next month we shall' have Eddie to take care of.

That morn- ing I took the bus into Toronto, had lunch with Dee and the boys, and then off to the Annual Salada Tea given in connection with a cempetition sponsbred by that corhifany and open to W.I. Branches across Ontario. _ This year the competiion took the form of a layette. There were 102. entries. The best had been chosen for display in the Salada Club rooms. Such wonderful work! Dainty little dresses, smocked '"nighties, knitted sets and • neatly hemmed diapers — $o good ,1 couldn't imagine tom ;the judges ever reached a „Cislon. However they did and the first prize -- $100 --- was awarded to Fonthill W,I. Second prize — $50 — to Belwoods W.I. There were also ten branches who received honor- able mention. The prize-win- ning entries were all -white. It was impossible to see the work very closely as each one was wrapped in cellophane. How- ever, I rather think the Fonthill entry was hand -sewn. That re- vived a few personal memories. When I was getting ready for my first baby's arrival every- thing I made was hand -sewn. No machine made garments were going on my baby! I still think hand -sewn makes a neat- er and smoother finish for baby clothes. Unless great care is. taken run and fell seams done by machine can be hard and cumbersome. Following the prize awards and brief addresses by F.W,I. President Mrs. James Haggerty and Home Economics Director, Miss Helen McKercher, W.I. members were the guests of the Salada-Sheriff-Horsey company for afternoon tea. It was a good cup of tea . I wonder why! We thought the tea was the fine al touch to a very pleasant af- ternoon. But no, as we came away each guest was presented with a carton about 12 inches square. I had no idea what was in it until I got home. Then I found 1 hadbeen carrying around a regular surprise pack- et — cake mix, pie -crust mix, jelly and pudding powders, pie filling, apple jelly, marmalade; orange juice,' flavouring — and of course a packet' of tea bags. Can you imagine such generos- ity? $150 in prize money, tea served to approximately a hun- dred guests, plus this lovely surprise packet for each one\to take away. It certainly looks as if the company goes all out in its efforts to encourage mem- bers fo the W.I. Another pleasant feature of the ,afternoon was renewing, ac- quanitances with W.I. members from 'other' parts of the prov- ince, some of whom had come quite a distance. It was easy to pick out the W.I. girls at the bus terminal — so many wo- men clutching in their arms a mystery carton 12 inches square! Heavy, but cheerfully carried. Well, I see our next-door neighbours are home. Now I'll be out of my goldfish -baby-sit- ting job. The three little fish survived my anxious care and are still contentedly swimming around in their little glass bowl. Thank goodness for that. "My .husband is a friction writer."
