"Dear Anne Hirst: I am 25,
have been married 10 years ---
and all I have is five wonderful
children, aged from one year to
eight. My husband provides
food, clothing and shelter. But
he is a person with a "So -what?"
attitude. If something happens,
O.K.; if it doesn't, who cares?
"We met when I was 13. He
never asked me to go steady, but
we did. I don't even know how
we came to marry; we didn't
have to, and it was not love, for
that never existed ... He always
seemed older, and I never could
say to him what I really felt
All these years, he has cri-
ticized everything I do.
"I find myself tired of mar-
riage. I long for a lover's kiss
and tenderness. I want to be
wanted, not just taken for grant-
ed; I know it is wrong to have
such thoughts, but I cannot help
it. I can't eat or sleep properly,

"' It is a problem, indeed to
" bring love and tenderness into
* a 10 -year inarriage that start-
"' ed with neither. Except for his
" habit of criticizing you (which
is probably only a habit) your
husband seems satisfied with
things as they are. He seems
to have no conception of a
woman's emotional needs, and
if you explain them, he may
shrug then off with a superior
smile. Yet what can you do but
try to make him understand
how empty of meaning is your
present existence? No woman
enjoys being treated like an
old chair that is ,set in place
and expected to stay there.
Your marriage may have
been a grave mistake. But now
* you have five children to raise,
x and their. enjoyment in life
* depends largely upon how
c+ their parents get along to-
• gether. The comping years can
* be so much happier for you
" two if your husband will ack-
" nowledge that his marriage
faces a crisis which can only
* be met by his appreciation and
'r kindness, and those little at-
• tentions which warm a Wom-
an's heart.
" As one reader put it recent-
* ly, "Why don't these wives
* make their husbands want
*• them?" It has its points.
* Can't you see your husband
",ale the rightful source of -the'
* tenderness and lovemaking
* you crave? Whether the idea
* appeals or not, study him all
"' over again, as though you had
* just met him. Flatter him a bit;
* adjust yourself to his moods;
'' praise him in front of the
* children, so that he feels im-
* portant to you all. Unless he
is inhumanly callous, he
" begets appreciation more of-
" ten than you think, and some
* latent sympathetic sentiment
* may stir within hits and rise
* to expression.
* It is a long chance, I admit,
" But you have to live with him
for the children's sake, so why
* not take it?' Can't you confide
* frankly in your doctor; He
• might well talk to your buss
* band, stressing your need for
* articulate affection and regu-
lar recreation, and so bring.
• you both closer than you have
'' ever been.
If your husband's neglect !ts
troubling you, examine yourself
honestly and see where the rea-
son lies . .. Anne Hirst's long
experience and observation are
at your service, and often she
can save a mnarriage. Write her,

Maybe I had better say a
word or two about our grandson
or someone will think he has
been shipped down sto Montreal.
But that couldn't be . . . $3,000
wouldn't pay for our David.
David, Dee- and Arthur were
out for the' day two, weeks ago,
and what a change we saw in
him. Strong, sturdy, active and
good-tempered. I don't think.
babies come any better than our
grandson. Of course, that may
be a slightly biased opinion—but
would you expect anything else
from me? His grandpa - thinks
the same way, I am sure: But
admit it? No, not he. "What's
:all. the fuss about?" :nye Peet -
nen "the little tike is just
another baby!"
Last week I was in the city
and stayed overnight with
Daughter. It was seven p.m.
when I arrived and I was greet-
ed like this ---"Oh, I'm so glad
you've come in time. Art can't
get home until late so will you
'baby-sit' while I go shopping?.
David's all right—fast asleep in
his cot." While she was talking
Daughter was also getting her
coat on and was out of the
house before I could agree or
disagree.
I looked at my sleeping grand-
son and couldn't believe that
'two weeks could make so much
difference. Four months old that
very day and he looked six or
seven. Fifteen ninutes later he
was awake and crying. "Oh
dear," I thought, "now what's
going to happen when he finds
it isn't mother taking care of
him?" I bent over his cot; Daviel
looked up, stopped crying and •
began smiling and gurgling quite
happily. From then on it was
easy going. 1 knew the • early
evening was often his wakeful
period so I put hint down on the
• big bed and for the next hour
we really . enjoyed Ourselves as
we both had quite a lot to talk
about.
I was amazed that David did
not "make strange" with nne, as
apparently he does with some
people, Could it be s o m e
instinct made him realise I was
the next best thing to his
mother; did he know that be-
tween us there was a real kin-
ship? If so he didn't have much
consideration for his gran d -
mother during the night. At four
o'clock in the morning he was
giving an active demonstration
of what a healthy pair of lungs
can do. But I stayed put! 'That

after them, sew and knit for
them, baby-sit or take them for
walks, but during the night they
are their mother's responsibility
—father's ton, for that matter.
However, I know of one grand -
=Other who gets up and ,goes
to the parents' rooms if she hears
the baby crying during the
night. :r might acid her solici-

eon and daughter -In-law.
Looking after David brought
back to me one of ro;y' deepest
regrets - that my mother- never

t think a daughter, mora so than
- soli, is never completely satis-
fied'.until she can more or less

share her love and pride in her
children with her O 11 mother.
When that is impossible it stays
with her as an everlasting regret.
What a time I have arranging
to get away when it will be
the least inconvenient to Part-
izer . and then I don't bit it
right I made plans for my two-
day trip to the city earlier in
the week but did not go because
a man was coming to delio'rn
some heifers. On such an occa-
sion i like to be around in case
anyone gets hurt or needs help
in any way. So I waited until
Friday—and then what happens?
While Partner had all his own
work to do, plus getting meals
and attending to the fire and
furnace, another cow had a calf;
a new neighbor caine to return a
call while Partner was still at
the barn; there wasa telephone
call . from a friend living in
Toronto who was visiting in Mil-
ton and expected to see me
befere she returned, Incidentally
I „v is phening that.• same friend
izm `troxonto, `;only to learn she
`was in 1Vj�ilton! The baker, the
egg -man and the Fuller -Brush
man made' their customary calls,
and the mailman left a whole
pile of "fan -nail" --also a mys-
terious parcel. The parcel was
a cardboard box about a foot
square. . Inside the many paper
wrappings were two glass
tunmblers. One was inscribed—
"Partner, Ginger Farm" — and
the other, "Gwendoline, Ginger
Farm"! 'That's all .. , not a hint
as to the identity of the donor,
and even the postmark was
illegible and gave no clue. Part-
ner said --• "Someone's pulling
your leg!" Well, maybe -- may-
be not. Anyway we used the
glasses today. So to our unknown
benefactor we say "thanks a
lot". It was fun, anyway, com-
ing hoine to a nice little surprise.
As to the .rest of niy '"fan -
mail'", most of it was in answer
to my offer of transfers in return
for stamped envelope, And I
have come to the conclusion that
a great number of my readers
are very interested in fancy-
work! The requests were more
numerous than I expected. How-
ever, -I have divided the ' trans-
.ferrs as fairly as I could so that
each- person will at least be suf-
ficiently repaid to cover the cost
of postage involved.
Strange fird.Life
ki Austrafla
The emu takes precedence over
all other Australian birds. Its
image appears with that of the
kangaroo on the Commonwealth
coat cu. arms. It can't fly, but
can run as fast as a galloping
horse, It is about five feet tall
and its whole body is covered
with soft grey -brown feathers.
These are of a peculiar structure
two appearing to spring from
a single shaft.
The emu is among the few
birds of which the female does
the courting. The male looks
after the .,,young. The female
emu does her courting by boom-
ing or calling -up the male. This
is done by enlarging the air
sacs in her neck. She seeks a
f ''sh mate each season; and lays
a • titch of eggs ranging in num-
bee from six to eighteen. In -
lasts about eight weeks,
and when the chicks emerge the
male cares for them, lavishing on
them an 'attention no mother
could exceed.
Perhaps the most intriguing of
all Australian birds is the lyre
bird—bird of a thousand voices,
Unquestionably the prince of
mocking -birds, the l y re bird
mimics all bush noises. It will
interrupt its own melodious song
to mimic the chopping of trees,
sawing of logs, barking of dogs,
clucking of hens, the whistle of
a train or .the laugh of a kooka-
in"rrn., followed- by the delight-
ful, clear notes of the thrush or
u.1t:Y;mmt:.
The lyre bird lays only one
egg, in a domed nest. It builds
its dancing mounds sometimes
to a height of thirty feet from
the ground. The male has a
magnificent plumage with a lyre -
shaped tail, bigger than the bird
itself. He displays this adorn-
ment in a strutting dance to im-
press the female, a small, homely
bred lacking any finery.
A close look at various birds'
nests imp the Australian bush
reveals some interesting features,
The golden -headed fantail warb-
ler, after building its coined nest,
sews on leaves using cobwebs
and gossamers for thread and its
beak for a needle. Because of
its deftness in the use of the
needle and thread, it is fre-
quently referred to as Australia's
tailor bird.
The white -eared honey -eaters,
found in districts known as
heathlands, including the scrub
country around Sydney's Middle
Harbour, are called "hairdress-
ers" by bushmen. These odd
birds generally use animal hair
for lining their nests, but much
prefer human hair if available
They have no compunction about
alighting on a person's head and
snatching a tuft of .hair!
No other place on earth can
boast the giant earthworm found
in South Gippsland, Victoria.
Sometimes known as barking
worms, they grows, to twelve
feet in length and several inches
thick.
Walking near a colony of
these creatures, one can hear
the loud gurgling sounds which
always betray the giant worms'
presence—a weird kind of groan-
ing under one's feet, like the
lament of some strange animal.
These noises, which account for
the term "barking" worm, are
produced by the worm's progres-
s i o n through the burrow. A
scientist cut one of these giant
worms into a dozen pieces and
each section developed into a
complete worm. If several 'are
cut up together, two heads will
sometimes join with a tail be-
tween. On the other hand, two
tails might join without a heads
