"ALL IS VANITY"
The young man is an in-
* incurable romanticist, and like
* the rest of thein he cannot re-
* sist flaunting his charms be-
* fore all females present. His
4' vanity must be fed; he may
* vow fidelity to you, but at
* one smile from another pret-
* ty face he is off to the con-
* quest. This heartless trait is
4 . usually born in the masculine
* nature, and it doesn't dimin-
* ish. It is egoism which trans-
* cends every other quality.
* Pity the girl he marries.
4' She is doomed to a life of
* faith given and betrayed, hope
* renewed only to be lost. In
* every other way he is, I ex-
* pect, honorable; but when
* temptation comes he will con-
* tinue to pursue the mirage
*.leaving you exasperated and
* heartbroken. Such men are
* contemptible yet pathetic fig-
* ures. What intelligent girl
* would choose to share their
* ignoble fate?
* If you really think of mar-
* rying him, could you bear
* down through the years to be
* pitied by all who love you and
* called a fool by those who
* don't? Send him on the way
* he has chosen. And don't fear
* he will not exist without your
4' love. He will always manage
* to corral another worshipper
* to nourish his ego as you have,
* and to insult as he has been
* insulting you.
* You can live without such
* a love, once you see him as
* he is. I hope one day this con-
* suming passion you can feel
* will be bestowed upon a man
* who will honor it.

Some Odd Ways Of
Making A Living
It was found recently that
there was too much unnecessary
noise in a large south of Eng-
land hospital, so the committee
decided to appoint a "preventive
maintenance man."
His job? To spend the day
going round every part of the
hospital with an oil -can and
screwdriver attending to all
squeaking doors and banging
windows. It keeps him very
busy. To his friends he jokes:
"Mine's a hush-hush job."
There's . no end to the novel
ways' in which men and women
can . earn a living. In London
there's a man who makes a good
income writing other people's
love letters, 1n New York a pret-
ty and shapely girl spends many
of her working ,hours in water
—testing bathing costumes. She
has to report whether they are
proof against shrinking.
In a fishing village near Cape-
town lives a man who is paid
to gaze out over the sea through
binoculars. His job is 1•o watch
for shoals of fish and signal their
presentee to fishermen.
Some women who signed on
at an employment exchange ones
autumn day explained that dur-
ing the summer they were em-
ployed at a big fun fair as "pro-
fessional screamers." They had
been paid to% "provoke excite-
ment" on flip -flaps, roundabouts
and joy wheels. •
A firm of bird dealers in
Australia employs two men to
teach parrots and buderigars to
talk. The men are linguists and
teach the birds various langu-
ages so that- they can be sold
overseas
How would you like to make
skeletons for a living'? A man in
London who does • so sells them
to medical students and profes-
sors studying anatomy.

Well, we .Dever know from
one week to the next what my
next column will be about. And
maybe that is just as well, There
are times when, if we were
forewarned we might be fore-
armed. On the other hand -I
think it is better that a merci-
ful providence hides the future
from our mortal eyes. It might
be nice to know the good things
that lie in store for us. But to
,know the bad • ... how could we
take it?
• bast: Tuesday, I took the early
dui to Toronto. Generally I do
i:business first and finish the
o,g a couple of'hours
t3augliter just before train
tea' But last Tuesday, while
travelling along in the train, for
• no' special reason at all I 'sud-
denly decided I would stop off
'Parkdale and visit Daughter
first. I was met at the door by,
Arthur and Dave and greeted
with the news that Daughter
was in hospital; had gone in the
day before as an ' emergency.
Some people might say •I was
psychic but I would prefer to
think an Unseen Power directed
my plans that day. I didn't
know about Daughter being in
the hospital because she has the
foolish notion that Mother and
Dad shouldn't be worried un-
necessarily therefore we were
not to be told, especially as she
expected to be home again on
the Thursday. In the meantime
Joy was coming in to take
charge of Dave. But things
didn't pan out that way Daugh-
ter didn't get along as well as
was expected and is still in the
.hospital. There had to be blood
transfusions, penicillin and so
on. However, she is coming
along fine now and expects to
be out Monday or Tuesday. Joy
and Bob took David home to
Oakville with them. They were
here yesterday and they all
seemed to be getting along to-
gether very nicely, There is
only one drawback — Dave has
been denied the brother or sister
he might have had come fall—
but thank heaven, he still has
a mother. So, in spite of upsett-
ing events, we can still count
our blessings. It is no trouble
at all to 'name them one by one'.
Yes, last week was a busy

to again last Friday -just to the
hospital. Saturday 1 was more

especially the first few days. At
one time.the change -over served
a good purpose --during the war
and when there was a definite
shortage of hydro power. Later
it was argued that daylight sav-
ing time gave working people
more opportunity for gardening
and working around the home.
But now, with a five day work

Heat shortening (it should be at least two inches deep)

saving time is now a greater
disadvantage than at any time
in its history. If the powers that
be would experiment for just
one year by staying on standard
time all the year round then we
would have some means of com-
parison, some way to determine
which is the better way for
everyone concerned under pre-
sent living and working condi-
tions.
Onie thing is certain, the sea-
sons don't follow the calendar
any more. Here it is nearly the
first of May (will be before this
gets into print), the land is prac-
tically water-logged, and yet
more rain fell , last night and
still more is predicted for today,
so we are bound to have a very
late seeding But the birds are
faithful to the seasons, come
wind or weather. Last Saturday
Partner saw one poor exhausted
little swallow return to the
barn. He said the poor little
thing was so "beat up" there
wasn't a twitter out of it. It
just sat on a beam in the stable
and rested quietly all the time
he was milking. That nearly
always happens—one wee swal-
low returns and two or three
days later the rest of the fam-
ily follow. I wonder does the
first swallow go back to tell his
friends it is all right toome
back to their summer quarters.

We had another calf last
week, and we sold our hens ex-
cept for a few to keep the house
supplied. The hens persisted in
feather -pulling — a habit, they
developed before we bought
them, but which we thought
they would outgrow. We tried
everything, external and inter-
nal, but they 'wouldn't stop. So
we sold them before they all
died of cannibalism. Free range
might have cured them but
birds on free range produce
dark yolks; dark yolks means

to public demand and confine
our hens. As to that, we don't
