According to your views (apparently) they can safely ruin someone else's life and then go back to being the perfect husband and father. "What of the other woman? The men don't owe then a thing? — Or do they? "One of the sweetest girls I knew took her life after such an affair. I, for one, hope there is just retribution for such men. DISGUSTED" * Shocking consequences can and sometimes do follow extra- marital affairs, and often t h e nicest girls find themselves in- volved. Yet surely there is proof enough (in this column alone) to warn all women what grave chances they take when they date other women's husbands. * I have only sypmathy and * pity for such a girl as your * friend was. But what of the * innocent wife who is guilty * only of being loyal? * ': * Young love can be thrilling, but it is character one has to live with. Be sure your new young man is a real MAN who will cherish you in all honour and kindness. In time of turmoil ask Anne Hirst's counsel, at Box 1, 123 Eighteenth St., New Toronto, Ontario.

Should a business woman rise to greet a man who enters her office, and she is . already talking with- someone else? A. This depends upon -circum- stances. If she is seated at her desk with others around her, she would be likely to rise, but would merely motion to an empty chair. If, however, all are seated casually, she could rise, herself. Q. How long before the wed- ding should the ushers appear at the church? A. They should be on hand at least an hour beforehand. It is part of their duty to welcome the guests and conduct them to their seats. Q. Where do the relatives of the deceased sit during the fun- eral service at the church? A. The relatives occupy the front pews on the right of the center aisle. Q. How should the invitations be worded if the bride is a young widow? A. They should be issued in the names of her parents, just as the invitations to her first wedding were. Thus: "Mr. and Mrs. Paul J. Moore request -the honour of your presence at the marriage of their daughter, Mary Moore Johnson, to, etc." Q. Someone has told me it is Improper to send a man patient at a hospital flowers. Is this cor- rect? A. Illness is the one occasion when flowers — and especially a plant — are in good taste to send to a man. Q. Should the napkin be used at the table before drinking water? A. Yes; the napkin should be used to wipe the mouth before drinking, in order to avoid any shear on the glass. Q. To whom does a bride show preference when choosing h e r maid -of -honour? A. Her sister should have the preference. If she has no sister, she usually chooses her most in- timate friend. Flo . People Behave in Supermarkets That peculiar American insti- tution, the supermarket, has just been given a going-over by a group of marketing experts. They have been studying the habits of the American housewife and her spouse. They have come up with some interesting observa- tion, and are now aware of the things that irritate Mr. and Mrs. America most. The checkout line is the bottle- neck and the pain in the neck. Running second in complaints is the feeling that two-way traf- fic in the aisles is a nuisance, particularly for Hien who beef that women walk along aimless- ly (just like women driver:, one fellow said). Nearly everybody can find fault with nearly everybody else. The clerks say the women can't find their money. They say that men pile the goods im- properly, and spoil a lot of stuff. The men say the women congre- gate with their wagons and stall traffic. The women say the clerks punch out the cost too fast so they don't know if they're being charged the correct rates, They also complain that men seem to have extra large orders, and it's murder to get in the checkout line behind . the male shopper, The experts gave nut three - pronged advice: 1. Make out a list and put the meat purchases down first, the others in the order they will be met, ISSUE 15 1955 2. At the counter, place canned goods near the clerk, then the bulky ones, then the perish- ables. That's the way they go into the bag. 3. Milk cartons and cellophane packages should be stood on end. Finally, if you don't like stand- ing in line, say the experts, do your shopping in the early morning before school starts. Other housewives are busy at home getting the kids to school, and youcan have the place to yourself, nearly. ONICLES fz flNG Geneee.dolin.e D. Ctearlys "Distant fields are always green"—an adage as true today as it ever was. During the last ten years or so some of our farm friends have been very un- settled. They were undecided whether to stay on the farm or sell out. Some felt theywere getting too old for farming , . too much hard work; scarcity of farm help, most of it inex- perienced, added to their trou- bles. Farm properties were fetching good prices. It might be a good idea to cash in on a good opportunity — move to town, get a smaller house, less work for tired Mrs. Housewife and likely there would be an easier job in town for Mr, Ex - Farmer. He would need some- thing to fill in his time anyway. So, some of these friends of ours did sell out, others are still sitting on the fence. So what happens? Extracts from recent letters tell their• own story. "We so often wish we were still on the farm. It would be wonder- ful to get away from this 'con- venient' noisy suburban area. There are so many noises—the everlasting hum of the air -con- ditioner, the fan on the furnace, constant murmur of traffic, roar of the planes taking off from a nearby airport and static in- terference on the radio or tele- vision as a nearby neighbour uses his electric razor." Another letter: "I would trade this city job any day to be back with the cows; to hear the steady rustling sound of cows nosing the hay in their mangers. I am making good money at my present job but I realize now that money isn't everything." ' Then I meet and talk with a former farm -wife. In reply to my questions I get an answer something like this:: "Yes, our house is very convenient, warm and comfortable even with a north-west blowing. And of course, there is far less worts, But a house in a subdivision means living a life very differ- ent from what it was on the farm, Sometimes I stand at the open door, loot: along the street to other houses very like our ' own, and I long with everything that's in me for the good, clean country air;; to be in a house that isn't hemmed in by other houses. I just have au almost unbearable craving to get out of the house and into the coun- try." Then from the "fence -sitters" we hear this: "Well, we have practically decided to list the farm. We have looked out a tot in town and we think we'll build this summer. Anything will be better than slaving our hearts out the way we are now." Well, that is what the other group thought too --,the ones who have already • sold out. Then why, after a few months away from the farm did they ehange7 It seems to me the change is the natural result of the difference Sift into a baw1,1 c. plus 2 tbs. once -sifted cake flour, 1 tsps.

Always Dependable SeeNk between fatigue and rest. Pre- vious worry and overwork while on the farm resulted in a condition to which the only solution seemed to be to quit farming. At first the change seemed quite satisfactory. Then as mind and body became rest- ed reaction followed. Less work meant more time to think. Pre- sently strange surroundings and a new way of life began to pall. Eventually there came a rest- lessess born of years of living close to Mother Earth; and, of daily dealings with creatures belonging to farm life—caring for them, knowing their wel- fare depended upon you, their master. And the farmer's wife . for many years hers had been a life that, in spite of hard work, had yet been a life of comparative freedom, Even a hundred acres could not make a boundary line for beyond it there was the horizon, and, with the rising sun, and the beauty and promise of a new day. Or at night the restful fading away of the setting sun, which can never be seen to the same ex- tent from the steps of a subur- ban home, hemmed in by sim- ilar houses, and by factories and other buildings. Last year, one friend who moved from the city to the country wrote to me— "You know, Gwen, until we came to live in the country, I never realized how beautiful a sunset could be!" What is the solution for farm- ers? Unfortunately it is a prob- lem that can only be worked out by the persons concerned. But wouldn't it help consider- ably if there were a rest period between one move and the next? For instance, if a farmer sold his stock and implements in the fall but did not give up possession of his property until the spring he would get the necessary rest and not have to make snap decisions at a time when he was physically and mentally too tired to cope with his problems. But in most cases we find farm work goes on until an auction sale brings it to a close. One day the farmer has his usual number of cattle, the next day he has nothing. No young stuff to feed, no cows to milk—and probably by the next week he has moved off the farm. The change is too drastic. It takes a strong personality to absorb such a shock—especially after preparing for an auction sale, which is more of a nervous strain than a year's work. SAAL Y 5 SAMS "Am I late?
