"Dear Anne Hirst: I certainly
agree with your advice to 'Be-
wildered Wife' about her mother-
in-law. My husband's mother is
almost an exact duplicate. Before
marriage she accepted me, but on
our very wedding day she chang-
ed to a vicious animal. She sowed
seeds of hate immediately and
successfully.
"She also is neurotic, and car-
ries on until she gets her way.
My husband admits she is wrong,
but he never took my side, and
excused everything with `She's
my mother.'
"I had put niy heart and soul
into my marriage. I worked and
prayed hard for it to be a suc-
cess, but to no avail. She created
such ill will that I lost all res-
pect for her and also for my hus-
band I saw him as he was, a
spineless jellyfish. She kept us
at each others' throats when I
was pregnant, and she, too, told
me her son was too good for me.
Her attacks gnawed. They left

me a broken person, without faith
in God or humanity.
"Finally I realized it was fruit-
less to try to please her. I broke
with her before we were mar-
ried two years. I have never re-
gretted the step.
"Soon we will have been mar-
ried five years. The .nightmare is
slowly fading. My faith has been
restored,- and since 'I no longer
hear her ugly Hes and unkind
words, I am growing normal
again.
"My husband continues to pay
his respects to her; but our boy
does not know his grandmother.
I have borrowed her phrase, 'My
son is too good for you.' I never
dreamed it would end this way,
but she brought it on herself. I
ani made of flesh, too, and there
is a limit to my endurance. She
is lucky she was not sued for
alienation of affections.
"God bless your good work,
Anne Hirst, and your patience
and understanding of human
spirits.

A new addition has been added
to our family. We have named her
"Annie" because she was born on
the eve of our wedding anniver-
sary. Her mother's name is May
and she is a direct descendant
of Daisy Durham, who was one
of the first members to join our
family when we started farming
in Ontario just over 30 long years
ago. The name of Annie's father.
is "Lord Nelson" and he lives at
Maple, Ontario. Annie has a nice
fluffy white fur coat with a few
reddish -brown patches here and
there, and she is really very . act-
ive considering she is only two
days old. Actually Annie wasn't
too anxious to enter thia cold;
snowy world and managed • to
postpone her • arrival for two
whole days. After that the forces
of nature were too_ strong fee he
and she finally arida 'her" appearic
ance, unaided and alone. We
thought perhaps she might bring'
a brother or sister along with her
for company. But no, she came by
herself and was quite proud of
her achievement. In fact it wasn't
long before she was standing on
her feet, ambling around her
mother, gazing at her somewhat
boastfully, saying just as plain as
could be, "Hey Ma! I did it!"
Boastfulness, however, soon
gave way to the pangs of hunger,
as in calf language she said to
her mother, "Look, Ma, now I'm
here, what's to eat, and where de
I get it?"
Well, that was one incident in
connection with our anniversary.
The other occurred when Bob and
Joy walked in with a gorgeous
bunch of daffodils. Why is it that
spring flowers look so much love-
lier in the middle of winter?
Never have daffodils looked so
yellow and cheerful as the ones -
that adorn our house today. We
also had a disappointment. Dee,
Art and David were to have come
out for the day and then at the
lastminute they had to cancel
their pians, so as a sort of con-
solation prize we got a lovely
card and a picture of our grand-
son. Apparently the young tinker
is growing out of all recognition
so we are getting quite impatient
to see him.
We are still not very happy
about the weather, not knowing
quite what to expect from day to
day, Big trucks and little trucks
have been getting through the
lane but when I tried to get out
with the car, oh, that was quite
a different story. I got about a
quarter of the way out and there
I sat, wheels digging and spin-
ning like fury. Presently Partner
came to the rescue, thought if
he dug here and dug there I could
get out all right. But al:. the dig-
ging I would let him do was to
dig a pai;h for me back to the
garage.. And there the car will
stay until I can get out in com-
fort. I am getting lots of exercise
as a result. Down to the mail -box
with letters to post. Down again
to get the day's mail. Down again
for 'the evening paper -and quite .
often down again fox something
or other that has been left in our
mail -box. I wouldn't like to live
on a sideroad and have to walk
half -a -mile for our mail. That
would be just toe much. There
was a time when we would have
thought nothing of it .but not
now. Come to think of it, time is
very considerate and suits our
needs to our years, Out west,
when we were first married, we
used to get our mail once a week,
and then. Only if we drove nine
miles across the open prairie to
get it, We didn't think it any
.great hardship. That, and a good
many, other things—cold, short-
age of fuel, and only the bare
necessities of life. I remember
that sometimes I used to wear
mitts in the house to keep my
hands warm. If we had to live
under the same conditions today
we could not do it. To those days
belonged hard work, many pri-
vatiohs, but a greater peace of
mind. We had no car, no radio,
very few neighbours, our. only
.means of communication was the
telephone and our only news-
paper the good old Family Her-
ald and Weekly Star. Disasters in
• other parts of the world did not
affect ••us at all—sometimes we
didn't even hear of them until
'they had ceased .o be news. Our
worries were purely local — the
'weather, the price of wheat and
,oats, harvesting our crops and
`the health of our families. Today
iwe have the same worries, plus
the pressure of modern living.
News `comes to us hot off the
'wires. TO keep pace with it we
,Sneed a.'brain as agile as a cricket.
i"Whether, we live in the city or
ountry , makes little difference.
02.1„, this reason don't ,you think
e''^should make an' effort to get •
r i little more quietness into our
fives, quietness that • isn't pos-
' ible if radio sob stories fill our
,minds hour after hour, day after
iday? Quietness has become almost
an "unknown quantity—we need
'to treasure what little of it re-
mains.
How Can 1?
Q. How can I clean suede
shoes without injuring the suede?
A. An ordinary rubber sponge,
such -as can be bought at any ten -
cent store, the tight sort that has
a good resistance, is excellent for
-'keeping the suede shoes clean.
It will remove all the dust and
.soil without harming the fabric,
as so many of the very stiff
brushes are inclined to do.
Q. What can I use as a sub-
stitute for olive oil?
'A. When your supply of olive
oil is running low, when making
'salad •dressing, melt butter and
add it to the oil: It makes a good
substitute.
Q. How can I prepare some-
thing different in -the way of
dessert?
A. Tr y a combination of
chocolate ice cream and orange
sherbet. It makes a very colorful
dessert, and a delicious one.
Q. How can I make an at-
tractive garnish with cranberry
jelly?
A. Slice the cranberry jelly
and cut into fancy shapes with a
cookie cutter or a knife, and you
will have an unusual and attrac-
tive garnish for salads and des-
serts.
Q. How can I relieve a head-:
ache? '
A. A home remedy that often
brings relief is to place a pinch
of salt on the tongue and allow
it to dissolve. In about ten min-
utes, take a drink of cold water.
Q. How can I avoid the un-
pleasant smoke that sometimes
arises when cooking hotcakes?
A. By tying some salt in a
bag and rubbing the griddle with
this instead of greasing it. It
Is quite satisfactory.
Q. How can I prevent cracks
in the enamel of a stove?
A. Never try to wipe off the
enamelled range with a wet
cloth while it is still hot. The
fine enamel surface may become
marred by unsightly cracks.
Q. How can I protect the wall
paper over the coach front pow'
ade that mien use on their heads?
A. By placing a tapestry over
this place, This is much easier.
to clean than the greasy spots
on wall paper. .,

Her Knees Creak,
So She Stays Single
Your Must possess many
friends who, although in their
late twenties, thirties or even
forties, haven't married. Do you
assume, in the case of a man,
that he's been turned down,
and in the case of a woman that
she hasn't been asked?
If so, you might be doing them
an injustice. Some folk remain
single because their standards
are high. What about Yvonne de
Carlo?. No one could be more
glamorous, so why is she still a
bachelor girl? Because her ideal
man must have the voice of
Laurence Olivier, the looks of
Robert Taylor, the humour of
Aly Khan and the physique of
Rock Hudson!
Another attractive unmarried
actress, Dora Bryan, who joined
the "Much .Binding" programme
with Richard Murdoch and Ken-
neth Horne, and is now in the
revue "At The Lyric," ,;declared,
"I'm too busy, and I don't want
-to marry anyone in show busi-
ness." And then Dora changed
her mind — for it was recently
announced that she is to marry
her boyhood friend Bill Lawton,
the Lancashire League profes-
sional cricketer.
Gloria Nord, who starred in
the ice show "Chu Chin Chow"
at the Empire Pool, Wembley,
holds a somewhat similar point
of view. She likes skating too
much and feels it's impossible
to pursue a career and run a
home at the same time.
Then there's Sophie, said to
be the only woman dress de-
signer in . Egypt. She has just
held her first showing • of clothes
made from Egyptian textiles. •
Twenty-seven years old and
very pleasing in appearance, she
says her career means that she
will probably never marry.
"Ani Egyptian husband," she
sighs, "would never allow me to
continue with it. It would be
considered unsuitable."
When it comes to people
whose navies don't hit the head-
lines, their reasons for remain-
ing unmarried are often the last
you'd imagine. '
One girl wrote to the papers
not very long ago to say that
every time she knelt down, her
knees creaked and she'd feel
such a fool in church. She
doesn't seem to have considered
a register office ceremony.
A most down-to-earth ex-
planation „was given by a bache-
lor in Northern Ireland _ a
farmer. He was, he', said, far
too busy looking after his pigs.
Besides, their upkeep was
cheaper than that of a wife and
when a pig grew fat you, could
sell it.
Unless you know where he
hails from, you'll never guess
why Dan Covington is still
without a wife. It's because he
doesn't think polygamy is prac-
tical nowadys. Last July it was
said that Dan was the only
bachelor in Short Creek, Arizo-
na, the Mormon settlement
which was raided and broken up
by the police. Thitry-six men
there possessed eighty-six wives.
.Are you single? Maybe the
married state doesn't appeal t4
you, But suppose you've been
hankering secretly after it, them
take a trip abroad this summer.
A little town in southern I -101 -
land has thought up a wonder-,
ful scheme. Last year the town
staged a . Lonely Hearts Con-
gress, attended by 800 bachelors
and spinsters fromlive coun-
tries. -
Some of the guests announced
quite frankly that they hoped to
find someone to their taste. A
Belgian labourer said he'd
saved $450 as a preparation for
marriage, but had so far been
too shy to ask anyone at home.
SLIMMING DOWN
"Reduce while you work" is the
ideabehind the plastic "slim-
ming suit" demonstrated below
by Adrienne Germaine, in Lon-
don, England. Doing household
chores in the air -tight garment
induces heavy perspiration,
which is supposed to take off the
pounds.
Use the plastic slim suit and ...
. . off comes excess weight.
