"Dear Anne Hirst: I have one
big fault—I'm jealous. I try not
be, but you know how it is;
little things run in your mind,
se¢ad the first thing you know they
care too big to cope with. Talking
le out with someone can help
more than anything.
°"IVI r husband works for a com-
pany that employs women, too.
He often talks about how much
fun the men and women have to-
gether, and I can't help but won-
der whether he does. He claims
he never flirts, but you know
how a man loves to be noticed,
and e. clever woman can always
.flatter thein into having an af-
fair.
"And what can a poor wife do
with two small children, a lot of
housework, and no time to fix
herself up? Working girls have
money t� spend on themselves,
The housewife never has a penny
to buy pretty clothes with!
"My husband can be the Life
of any party when others are
around, but at home he doesn't
exert himself to have fun with
us. . , Please help me.
Worried Wife and Mother."
a The jealousy between wives
e and business girls has existed
* for two generations, and it is
* likely to continue -so long as
• wives envy single girls their
o pretty clothes and "freedom,"
e, and suspect husbands of phil-
a andering at every opportunity.
• Yet where is the wife who
* hasn't first chance to keep her
e man contented at home?
* It's not difficult, as you say,
* for a clever woman to flatter
a xnan; he loves to be noticed.
o I wonder whether you have ap-
o plied this psychology to your
•e husband? If •a man is the life
ao of the party it is because he
* enjoys the applause of the
e crowd; if he gets applause at
e home, he Is not apt to fall a
*victim to any designing worn-
*
. • Since you suspect your hus-
e band of flirting with his co-
o workers why not take time out
0 to flatter him yourself? Build
him up -as lord of the manor.
* Don't let a day pass that you
* do not say (or imply) how
* proud you are of him, how the
" children look forward to his
• homecoming. Dwell on his at-
* tractiveness, and show him you
are still attractive; too. Instead
* of decrying your lack of spend- "
* ing money, take 15 minutes out
" to freshen up for . his arrival,
* put on a welcoming smile, and
* make him glad he i:. home.
* You will object • that ., you
* haven't time for such nonsense.
". It is really only tact and corn-
* mon sense; with a little effort
* you can lighten his mood, make
* him conscious of. yourself.- and
* the children and keep him in
' a Nirvana of. content.
* The fact that he comments
* on the fun they have in the of-,
* fice indicates, to nay mind, how
* lightly he takes it. If he were
* guilty of philandering, it is not
* likely he'd mention it at all.
• Instead of doubting him, and
* imagining evil where no evil
* exists, be a trusting wife. Your
* 'best protection is to take it for .
* granted that he is entirely loyal
* to you, and letting him know
°' you think so. Many a suspicious
* wife has driven her man to
4 infidelity by sowing the seeds
* . in his mind.
* I know that caring :for small
* children and a' home. is an ex-
* hausting and often a dull job.
* But a wife has to create an
t, atmosphere of pleasantness and
" even gaiety in the home; if you
* will spend more effort on this
• angle you will find your hus-
" band more like the man who
* colleted you, and a • closer com
* panion than • he shass been I
* don't know of any attitude that
* brings richer rewards.
* I wish I could devote this
* whole column today to your
a problem, but these ideas will
help you if you weigh them
* practically and seriously,
* * *
A suspicious wife can change
a loyal husband into an unfaithful
one; it takes a cad to betray a
trusting wife ... Write to Anne

Every morning. 1. use the top
milk from a quart jug for our
coffee—milk that has been stand-
ing for 24 hours to give the
cream time to rise and thicken,
As a rule it" makes good table
cream. One day last week was
an exception. The "cream" was
little better than straight milk.
I was puzzled. "What happened
to the milk this morning?" I ask-
ed Partner, "there's hardly any
cream on it at all," Partner
thought for a minute and then
he answered, "Well, I guess I
must have brought you Mrs.
May's milk." Mrs. May was the
cow that freshened about ten
days ago. So that. started me
thinking --about the way Mother:
Nat ire has of keeping ss.;nice ja,1l
ante, when permitted 'to do so.
What I ani saying will not be
news to farm folk but it znay
surprise a few others.
It's this way. Baby calves arca,
much the same as other babies,--
- milk for them must; not be too
rich or digestive trouble follows.
A cow cannot make up special
formulas or dilute over -rich milk,
so in her case Mother Nature
takes over and provides the cow
with milk that is .low in butter-
fat content—in other words, it is
just right for a baby calf. As the
calf gets older the mother's milk
gets richer. Not only that but
the normal lactation period for
a cow is nine to ten months —
just long enough to give the calf
a good start in life, or until such
time as it can eat hay, oats or
grass. That was an ideal arrange-
ment in the days when cattle
roamed at will and bred and
raised families according to the
laws of nature. Now, however,
the cow is a milk -producing ma-
chine, • so the farmer has to space
the arrival of calves and thus
prevent too ;many cows from
freshening at approximately the
same time. If • he doesn't, down
goes the butterfat content in
every eight gallon can of milk,
and that means a lower milk
price to . the farrier,
It Ls queer, too, the way fash-
ions change even in regard to
milk. Time was when dairies
would advertise "rich, creamy
Jersey milk." Now Haat same milk
is recognized as being too rich
for young children and too ' fat-
tening for adults. Skim milk,.
that we wouldn't have put on
our tables years ago, is now con-
sidered as ideal for invalids, ul-
cers, 'reducers and elderly folk
Speaking of elderly folk .
we had the grandest W.I. meet-
ing last week at our County Home
for the Aged. There were 23
elderly ladies and/about 25 WI.

meanbers present. Our program
was aixanged to give pleasure to
our guests, although we had our
busineils session as .usual, Busi-
ness over, we served refresh-
ments --tea, sandwiches and little
tarts. Several of the ladies ex-
claimed. with delight, "My, but
that was a good cup of tea!" Tea
was followed by a short program.
One of our ladies, who has a
lovely; mellow . voice, sang sev-
eral songs—old time favourites—
and I:•noticed several old ladies
furtively wiping an eye as they
listened, to the closing number,
"When I grow too old to dream."
Another W.I. member gave as
humorous recitation that provok-
ed a good deal of laughter. There
was also community singing and
a roll call. It being close to St.
Valentine's Day, each member,as
her name was called, got up and
presented ,a valentine to the lady
whose name_ was given to her.
One dear`":old"lady got up and
thanked, our W.I: members "for.
the lovely afternoon you have
given ,us.",•, I imagine 'the little

Halton Centennial Manor is
one of ::the newest and most up-
to-date :homes for the aged in the
provinces. Those who live there
are well-fed and well -cared • for,
That day every' room was com-
fortably warm, although it was
zero outside, Yet there is this
'to remember: Elderly people in
this and other homes must con-
form to certain rules and regula-
tions. Gone is the freedom they
knew in their own homes, In its
place there is a certain amount
of unavoidable monotony. It is
this monotony that friends, ,re-
latives and organizations can do
much to alleviate. Old people
crave to be remembered, to know
that someone 'cares, litele atten-
tions to make them feel they still
"belong"—to their families and
their connnunities---to prevent
that out-of-date idea of stigma at-
taching to living in a home for
the aged.
To those who take the trouble
to visit the old folk it may even
be as bread upon the waters, for

' There is another way in which
"'"'friends can help. That is to sug-
gest, and encourage, ways in
which older folk can occupy their
tinge—any kind of handcraft for
the women. Cards checkers, bin-
go, whittling or light carpentry
for the men. Arid in summer—
gardening. Flowers and vege-
tables too, to occupy their time
and interest, with help for the
