She was happily mar- ried, but she took a position with a married man who had an invalid wife: He got interested car and everything else — after his wife died. So she divorced. her husband. "And the man who was wait- ing for his wife to pass away suddenly. died himself . . . New this woman is sobbing on my shoulder because she is without a husband and has lost this man, too. She is considering remarry- ing her husband if he will have her . .. I guess she didn't tike my comment, for I haver't heard • from her since. "God Himself punished her This`•fs what will happen to the one who wrote you. I cer- tainly hope she takes your ad- vice and gets wise to herself be- fore it is too late. MRS R. T." In any remarriage, the wel- fare of the children should be the parent's first consideration. Anne Hirst understands this deli- cate problem, and her wisdom can be helpful. Write her at Sox 1, 123 Eighteenth St., New Toronto, Ontario.

PARm G'�vc��t.cil- Life is full of surprises—some good, some bad. I never know from one week to the next what this column .will. contain. So here we go again, with" a little of each. I'll start off by telling you something that particularly ap- peals to my sense of humour. You may remember that some time ago we sold all our milk- ing cows. We were through with 'dairy farming . .. but definitely. Partner being so stiff with arth- ritis it seemed the only safe and sensible thing to do. But he re- lented to the point of keeping one cow, due to freshen in Sep- tember --just so we wouldn't have to buy milk all the time.. So what happens? Yesterday our Jane calved right on. sche- dule, in a secluded corner of the pasture. During the 'morn- ing Partner went over to see if she was all right, and what do you suppose he found? Twin calves, no less . =-" and both of them heifers! So that's how we go out of dairy farming. One of the calves was frisking around, the other was busily getting her first meal. My other main item of farm news ,is not so good. Rusty, our promising watch -dog puppy was hit by a car yesterday and has a broken leg as a result. Part- ner was down at the lane gate with the tractor. Both clogs were with him. Apparently Rusty ran on to the road just as a fast- moving car was approaching and he had it. It wasn't the driver's fault; Rusty just didn't have sense enough to get out of the way. He never has been car -conscious. H o w e v e r, al- though his leg is definitely frac- tured the `vet' thinks if we keep him quiet the bone will knit of its own accord. We hope so any- way—he is just a happy, affec- tionate, over -grown puppy --and an excellent watch -dog. All . this happened while I was at the Exhibition, Yes,, I was there again. It being Press Day I thought it would be as well to put in an appearance. And I really had a wonderful time.. And do you know what , , I had a few words with Marilyn Bell! She is really and truly just a nice, unaffected little girl. Newspaper and radio reports to that effect haven't been exag- gerated one bit, I had no idea I was likely to meet her; it was just that Elsa Jenkins, head of the Women's Division, C.N.E,, conceived the"bright idea of asking Marilyn Bell to be in the receiving line at the Press Wo- men's Tea. 1 had already been to the Grandstand Show for the express purpose of getting. .a herr at the tett Marilyn s but hundred percent better. What else did 1 do at the "Ex"—just a few of the. things we didn't have time for on opening day. The Art Gallery . that is well worth a visit, if only to see M. J, Boylen's private collection of Krieghoff's pictures of pioneer days, There were also many pictures • loaned by the Art Gallery of Toronto. And.:. do you know I bought a dozen beautiful Christmas cards, reproductions of famous paint- ings. If any readers are inter- ested in getting similar cards white to the Art Gallery of Tor- onto, for their complete list; available from October 1. The address is Grange Park, Toronto 2B, Ontario. The cards are no more expensive than the usual line of good cards that you are probably used to buying. Of course -I had to take in the Dog Show at the 'Ex'. Such yap- ping and barking,. you never heard! Apparently the smaller the dog the bigger the bark, Big dogs like German Shepherds, Dalniations and Collies were ly- ing quietly in their appointed places surveying the passing public either with resigned bore- dom or with watchful interest, but without making a sound. I looked around for a breed that would give me a clue as to Rusty's. parentage and I am quite convinced that he is partly of the Doberman Pinscher type, al- though his mother was supposed to be a purebred cell ie. puppy ,a knows i. own father. Now what else? 011 ; es. l took a ride up to the top of the new Shell Oil Tower—..the view 'Crozet the top was really wonderful. It - was a bright, clear clay and you could see across the waters of the blue. lake for miles. In the Exhibition ground. Q ars and people looked like miniatures. The elevator works with sur- prising ease. Once at the top you can stay on the obser; ation platform as long as you please and there are two public tele- phones placed there for your convenience. Just for fuu 1 phoned Daughter from the top of the Tower just to tet her know where 1 was, Actually .l was on my way out of the grounds when I decided to visit the Tower Once at the top I was• so entranced with the view that I forgot all about time — and almost missed my train . . in fact I would have only the train was late too.. Good old C.P.R. — always so accommo- dating! odernfitte Q. How is all service made at a dinner table, from the right or left? A. From the left, and using the left hand. GIasses are re- filled froth the right, and with- out being picked up or moved. The dishes may be removed, however, from either right or left, whichever is more conveni- ent, and they should not be stacked, but removed singly. . Q. Should the first page of a letter be numbered? A. No; this is neither neces- sary nor proper. You may num- ber the succeeding pages if you wish, Q. When the brief form of introduction is used, as, "Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Smith in what way can it be made apparent who is being introduced to whom? A. The more important per- son's name should be accentu- ated so that it will be as clear as though the words, "May I present,' were used.
