El RI in -411 "Dear Anne Hirst: Many of your letters come from women who have failed in marriage, and blame, 'the other woman.' I am one of those. Prom the standpoint of convention, I am an outcast. "When I Icft my shiftless hus- band, I had two small children. It was impos- sible t o find work, so I start- ed going out with men . . A third child was born. "Now I've met a man who loves me and my children. He is willing to marry me and take care of us. He has a good position—but he is married, and has two grown boys. CAN'T GET FREE "His wife has refused a divorce. She has threatened me, too. She is the nagging kind, who pretends to be always sick. "Now I think I am to have his baby. Since he has always provi- ded for his family, and will con- tinue to, don't you think his first duty is to his unborn child? "How can we make his wife see that it would be best for all con- cerned to set him free to marry nie? We won't give each other up, M. G." * If this man can convince his * 'wife that she should free him to marry you, he will be one of * the very few who succeeded. 'Women are possessive creat- * ures. Once we acquire a man, we * won't let him go. She will be no * exception, I expect, particularly * because a baby is expected. When * she learns of that she is apt to * retort: "That's her lookout."

Modern Etiquette By ROBERTA LEE Q. Is it proper to use the type- writer for social correspondence? A. Yes, this is quite proper. There was a time when the type- writer was considered suitable for only business correspondence, but that time has passed. Of course, stationery should be used when only the single -sheet variety of typing a letter, and be sure to sign your name by hand. Q. If a girl has no parents and she has no means of giving a par- ty to announce her engagement, how can she make her announce- ment? A. The best way to do this is through the society -news page of her local paper. Q. When passing your plate at the dinner table for a second he: p- ing of some dish, what should you do with your silverware? A. Always. leave this on the plate. Q. What are the duties of the maid -of -honor while the marriage ceremony is taking place? A. She stands nearest the bride, takes her bouquet or prayer book while the ring is being put on, returning them at the proper time, and arranges the bride's train when she turns from the altar to proceed up the aisle after the ceremony. Q. Is it the min's or t h e woman's place to make the move to stop for conversation on the street? A. The man's. Q. Should the water glasses be filled before the guests are sum- moned to the table for a luncheon? A. Yes, the glasses are filled, and the butter is placed on the plates. Q. Shou'd the recipient of gifts at a birthday party open those " gifts immediately, or wait until af- ter the party? A. Under no circumstances should the gifts be opened later. They should be opened immediate- ly upon receipt, and each donor thanked sincerely. It would be an act of bad taste and thoughtless- ness not to allow your friends to witness the opening of their gifts. Q. I have heard that wearing a tuxedo is not proper on Sunday evenings. Is this correct? A. White tie and tails are very rarely worn on Sundays—but tux- edos are often worn, and quite properly. HRONICLES INGE F M 't Gtniartd.otitoe P Clothe More changesin our family life! This time Bob has provided the exitement — or maybe lack of it would be more correct — that is, insofar as we are concerned. Staying put isn't usually consi- dered exciting which is what we are most likely to do. But there may be excitement in store for Bob, as last. Thursday he started out for Alberta, alone, and driv- ing his own car. He intends stick- ing to Canadian roads all the way so the going is bound to be rough in spots. How wonderful 'to be footloose and free! Ever since'. he was in training at Wainwright during the war Bob has wanted to take a trip back to .Alberta. He expects to be away two "ionths -- but I have a feeling that the "two months" niay strtch out con- siderably. Of course we find it quite lone- _ some without him coming in and out, even though he wasn't'work- ing at home. But I suppose., we shall get used to it. Daughter phoned yesterday to see how we were standing up to it, and re- minded us that we ' still have a "son" even though Bob is away. Yes, that is something to remem- ber — and appreciate, Now Daughter is married and Bob headedwest perhaps we shall get down to work in a more. set- tled frame of mind. Of course the cows have been milked right along; haying done; house and meals looked after, but apart from those little "chores" many things have been put off. First, until after the wedding, and then until after Bob shall have departed for the west.' You folks will know what I mean. Naturally there have been things that couldn't wait. — tomatoes and peaches had to be done. But no pickles yet. Maybe the house will be reeking with onions and boiled vinegar some- time this week. Our unpredictable weather has changed again. Now it is really like fall. But who knows — we may be enduring another heat wave by the time this column gets into print. If so it won't be be- cause I want it — heaven forbid. I have had all the heat I want for awhile. Another unpredictable thing ... the cattle market. Prices down one to three dollars on beef. And yet we don't seem to get any more for our money at the butcher shops, I don't get it, Maybe som- one knows the answer — we cer- tainly don't, The drop in cattle prices is real- ly serious.

She is waiting for her mother, 'a German war bride, to take care of Iandinb, details. cattle just so long, and then they have to go. There be a definite reason — shortage of feed; lack of stable room; milkers that turn out to be boarders, or cows that fail to get in calf. If a farmer has to sell on a depressed market it means quite a loss. And the average farm- er cannot stand losses too well these days — not with operating costs so high. I often wonder what is likely to happen in the event of another depression, even on a lesser scale than before. I don't want to be gloomy but it does no harm to tcy to figure out things once in awhile. In fact, it sometimes helps considerably. Conditions having changed so Much since the "thirties" makes me wonder how well we would face up to reverses. The majority of farm folk now have so much . more — cars, hydro, radios, milk ing machines, coolers, refriger to tors, tractors, and in many cases • machinery with power' take -off. And we have become used to going places and seeing things. Very nice, and, to a certain extent, as it should be. But there is a snag. This "higher standard of living" if you can call it such — runs into money. If the. money isn't equal to future requirments, what then? How shall we retrench? especially when the one thing we did have plenty of in the thir- ties is no longer available. By that I mean labour. It has been said that in present day construction and building, 60% of the total cost is for labour. 1 wonder what percentage of farm 'costs are spent in custom work, or in operating high-priced machinery — the equivalent of labour? Who knows, co-operative, or group farming, niay yet be the • answer to the problems of tomor- row. If farm prices continue. to drop only big -business -farmers will be able to operate independently. Hundred -acre farmers will have to cut their costs, share machinery and change work as they did be- fore,, Looking back it seems to be there was more friendliness and cooperation among farmers then than there is now. The tendency these days is to beat the other fellows' time in getting the baler, the combine or in filling silo. • CAT STATIC Cats frequently change position and lick themselves incessantly just prior to a storm because the air is then overcharged with the e',ec- tric fluid to which cats are extreme- ly 'sensitive. Maybe that's where our weatherman gets his dope. And the RELIEF IS LASTING For fast, prolonged relief front* headache get INSTANTINE.
