I am desolate with- out them. "During last summer, we spent our week ends in a near- by town where her parents liked to visit their own families; they all were congenial, and I. thought it was fine for our son to get out of the city and live a rural life. My wife never seemed to want to go, .but when she arrived I thought she en- joyed it as much; it solved sev- eral problems we had, and I knew her parents wanted us along. "On a recent visit, though, 1 had an angry disagreement,. with her father. I lost my tem- per and made a fine fool of my- self. My wife is devoted to him, and it made her furious. When we got home she told me she hadn't loved me for a long while and she wanted a divorce. My only excuse is that I was nervously and physically ex- hausted and had several things on my mind — which is no ex- cuse at all. "I love my wife devotedly, and had no idea I had ever seri- ously offended her.... I am ut- terly lost. I visit her and my "Flower" Apron Ou .

DRIVE WITH CARE HRONIODES O1NGERF» M r QoatatadnLtr.Q D C Lea rk e CHRONICLES OF Ginger Farm Sunday was a very happy day for us. Our grandson was here for a brief visit. And such a jolly little boy. Still white and rather thin but with more pep than he had shown for several months. The minutehe was in the house he made a bee -line for the place where we keep his toys. j think if even one were missing he would know it. But none was missing, in fact we had added a few building blocks to the small collection of 'playthings. These: pleased him so much that he refused to be parted from them when it was time to go home. The dogs also came in for plenty of attention—Rusty and Dave sort of playing hide-and-seek around the kitchen and dining - room. Now that Dave is coming along so well we are hoping we shall see a little more of him at Ginger Farm—just so long as the weather holds good. Well, that was our bright spot for the week. Other occasions were not quite so satisfactory. Johnny's . heifers, for instance. Ever since last spring Johnny has had eleven yearling heifers pasturing here. They had easy access to water so all Partner had to do was count them every so often to make sure they were all there. Than one day last week—a cold and windy day— Johnny decided he had better load the heifers and take them home -home being the farm he is working ten miles from here. So over he came. with his small truck and •a hired man. But the heifers had other ideas. Di- rectly the `round -up' started they went completely wild. So Johnny got two other men to help' him. The result was the sante--only more so. The heifers either broke down fences or jumped over them, got into a neighbour's field and on the whole gave the men a real old merry chase. The heifers won out by a wide margins. So now they will probably remain in undisputed possession of the pasture until such time as a storm makes them seek shelter. We have our own heifers in an- other field but they are like lambs by comparison. Strangely enough' we have heard of other farmers who, this year, have had more trouble than usual rounding up young cattle.' Our own barnyard problem was not heifers but our cow with the three -months -old twin cal- ves. The cow suddenly decided to get sick. So there was a ses- sion with the `vet,' liniment to use, medicine to give, and the calves to wean. Now, after a week of extra attention Bossy is well on the road to recovery. The next excitement was last Thursday night. Partner and 1 were out in the kitchen getting a 'night-cap'—hot milk and a buscuit, if you're curious. I sniffed suspiciously—"I smell Skunk." "Could be gas from the stove," said Partner. "No, it isn't gas, it's skunk," I repeated. Both dogs. I am glad to say, were asleep by the kitch- en stove. But I remembered the open—could door was a skunk have come so close to ' the house? I opened the kitchen door leading to the woodshed and in rushed—no, not a skunk, but poor Mitchie-White. What a sight! One eye completely closed, the other, half shut and streaked with red. Mitchie ran straight to his milk dish. "Put him out!" said Partner—but I noticed HE did not make a move. "Wait," I said, "let the poor thing have a •drink first. The damage is done now anyway." Presently, using an old ragas protective cover- ing I picked up poor Mitchie- White and put him outside again, honing the cold air would act as a deodorant. In the mean- time Partner was exploring the woodshed with a flashlight - fortunately without any disas- trous result. First thing next morning Mitchie was back in the house. His eyos were back to normal with only a red streak down the side of his face to. mark the spot. And glory be, the odour was hardly noticeable — just so long as we kept him at a distance. Nearly all that day Mitchie hardly left the house. He had evidently learnt his les- son—and learnt it the hard way. The next incident shows how women love to get something far nothing. I happened to be down town early Saturday morning and suddenly remem-• bered a new store was being opened that day. So, with the rest of the curious people, I went in to have a look around. As. an excuse I made a small purchase and then at the . cash desk, to my surprise I was pre- sented with a shopping bag containing a variety of items. I had completely forgotten the first 250 customers were to re- ceive a gift of miscellaneous merchandise. It was quite a good collection, of samples. But what amused me was the delight of the lucky first -comers, It didn't matter what was in the bag just so long as it was a give-away treat. In a grocery store one woman said to another—"Look what I've got—(showing her bag) have you been in the new stere yet? No? Well, you'd better hurry—the bags are go- ing out fast!" Before I had bought all my groceries, the second woman was back, tickled pink because she, too, had got a . grab bag! How foolish can we get? BOUNCY CHEESECAKE — Looks, but tastes terrible.
