For over a year I've been engaged to a man 'I'm crazy about but we can't find a place to live! (I am an orphan, and have had a couple of rooms of my own.) My fiance is a successful engi- neer of 31 (I'm 22) and for some years he's been living with a widowed sister who has two children; he practically supports them. He expects me to move in with them, but the more I see of her the less inclined I am. She is shiftless, the children are neglected, and also (quite a jolt) I feel she is as opposed to my coming as 1 am. "1 hvaen't explained this in de- tail, for my fiance dismisses any attempts with a wave of his hand, saying 'Of course you'll be happy there!' I'd be glad to hold on to the good job I have, although later I want a family. I have never cared for parties, I just want a spot of my own with the man I love. "And at this point that dream scenes so far away! I have even Wardrobe 'order PRINTED PATTERN fril,„-‘744,..$ eilake ,a wonderful new ward- a3be from this PRINTED Pat - ern!

Then he ob- jected furiously because she seemed to prefer • me, and we don't see each other much. But yesterday he called me up and told me shocking tales about her.

C Seems to me the weather of- fice and the C.N.E. officials shculd have put their heads to- gether and come up with more accurate weather forecasts for the Big Fair. Here follows our own experience. The first Sat- urday of the Ex. there was an early morning mist. The "probs" called for clearing by noon - Well, as you know it rained, and rained, and, as I told ,you last week, Partner and I get: soaked. The following Thursday Bob and his family planned a trip to the Ex. Overnight fore- cast was for rain all day. It . wasn't possible for them to choose another. day so they took a chance and went. It didn't rain at all! They had a wonderful time. Friday Partner and 1 thought we would have a second day at the Fair. But the day, dawned foggy and wet. We gave up all 'idea of taking the early morning special exhibition bus. Later, as I had an invitation to the Press Tea I took the noon bus.

ISSUE 39 1957 was wishing that Partner had come along 'with me. Weather did not provide the only prob- lems. Last Saturday our near- est neighbours set out to drive to the C.N E, But when they got to Sunnyside traffic officers stopped them from going any farther with the car. They put it into a parking lot and walked the rest of the way — approxi- mately two miles — mother, father aged a seven year old girl, That's what I call getting pleasure the hard way. Come to think of it farm folk on a rainy day, are better off than most people at the Ex. That is if they are content to stay in the Coliseum where it is quite possible to put in the whole day — looking at the livestock, watching the judging; admiring the many fine horses and ex- claiming at the wonderful ex- hibits and demonstrations put on by 'the 4-H Clubs. Modern farm- ing requires modern methods — tractors and high-powered ma- chinery, but how uninteresting they appear compared with the sturdy, well-groomed Clydes- dale and Percheron horses. Just as well we have the Exhibition and the Royal Winter Fair, isn't it, otherwise some children on farms might never know what a good team looks like? Speaking of children, they will be back to school this week and family life will settle down to a well' -established pattern. Young enthusiasts will arrive at school long before the doors are open; dawdlers will rush in at the last minute, just a few sec- onds ahead of the bell. Little tots, hesitant but inwardly ex- cited, experience their first day at school—with mother fearful as to their reaction. Little John —or maybe Betty—has been her baby until school clays began. Now her boy or girl have their 'Teet on the first rung of the lad- der of independence. Life at home is more orderly but for quite awhile mother finds there is a quietness and loneliness that tugs at her heartstrings. However, even without chil- • droll at home life isn't always • orderly, That 1 discovered one morning. A ring at the doorbell. I opened the door, there stood the milkman a sheepish look on his face, He had dropped a quart bottle of milk on the front porch. Such a mess! He gathered up the broken glass with a broom and dustpan and then Partner turned the hose on to the cement floor of the porch. Soon after ,that 1 was getting fish ready to fry. I had my back to the stove and was listening to Gordon Sinclair at the same time. The pan was heating and I turned round just in time to see the grease burst into flames, about a foot high. Frankly I was curious because it had never happened to me before. I knew there v : no danger of fire as there was nothing near the stove to catch fire. In a matter of seconds I remembered the important thing was to smother the flames. A close -fitting lid did the trick. But then I had the smoke to -.contend with First I carried the covered pan outside. Then 1 opened the doors and windows But the air was heavy and the smoke ,wouldn't budge. So I shut off the furnace and turned an the fan. In ten min- utes the house was free of smoke. When Partner came in he didn't know until I told him that I had tried to burn the house down. How and why did it happen? I'll tell you it may make some other woman more cautious. You see we have a new electric stove with an extra quick ele- ment. My old stove had solid burners that took forever to heat. Fat in the pan would never catch fire on that stove. But this one . . . well, Gordon Sinclair was partly to blame. A startling news story told with his usual dramatic detail caused my at- tention to wander. The Story? An eleven year old girl gave birth to a baby. Enough to make any woman forget what she was doing, wasn't it? So friends if you have a quick heating element, watch out. Keep ern Etiquette by Roberta Lee Q. Should a 'bride -elect writs notes of thanks to all the guests who attend a shower in hes honor? A. This is not necessary. Her thanks at the affair itself should be sincere and gracious enough. She must, however, write a note of appreciation to the hostess oR the shower, and she' can latex entertain the guests at a lunch- eon or bridge party, either be- fore or after the wedding. Q. When someone to whom one has been introduced take: leave of one by saying, "1 very glad to have met you,°P what is an appropriate response9 A. "Thank you," or, "I've en. joyed meeting YOU." Q. At which side of a persons at the table are the beverages placed, filled, and removed? A, At his right. Q. When someone telephones: a member of the family who is absent, should one ask who k calling? A. If the caller has not identi- fied himself, • rather than ask„ "Who is this," it is much better to ask, "May I tell him who called," or "Would you care to leave your number?" Q .When are bread and rota served at dinner? A. As soon as the soup be served, the rolls or bread are passed. Most popular container nowadays is a shallow wicker basket that has a fringed nap - .kin laid in it and several sorts of bread displayed. a lid handy, shut off the air and smother the flames. Still more important shut off the heat -- either that of Gordon Sinclair or the stove. Both going at one. might lead to spontaneous com- bustion!
