* You are attracted to him,

MARRIED MEN ARE OUT
"Dear Anne Hirst: Why not
pin a medal on married men
who have affairs with other
women? 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

odern Etiquette
Q. 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.

"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

Always Dependable

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.
