Don't misunderstand me — I don't doubt his Iove, and we have wonderful times together. But marriage should mean more than that. • "I've known that he likes to drink too much now and then. I've also seen how close he is to his men friends, even break- ing our dates to play cards with them. They are all single, and I'm wondering whether, as his wife, I'd spend more evenings waiting for him to eeme home. s That isn't my idea of being married. "I want a home with him, not without him. I love children, and I want mine to have a father they grow up with. He and I have had few evenings to discuss things that matter — planning our house, talking about his business affairs, and the intimate give-and-take of two peopde who expect to spend the rest of time under one roof. Most evenings we've been at parties or shows, always on the go (his choice, not mine), and without that communion of spirit on which a sound marriage should be built. We don't eyen go to church together. . . . In Other words, I see how little we New "Needle Art" rel rea.tr a W1 "Paint" a colorful picture with needle and wool — fascinating hobby!

Your picture of mar- * riage is sharing a home with * your husband, raising a fern- * ily and making that home the * centre of your life and theirs. * There must be love, of course, * but love alone cannot guar- * antee a good life for either of * you. If your fiance expects to * continue finding his pleasure * mingling with his men friends, • * you two would be in conflict * from the start. * What you want is content- * ontent* ment within your own walls, a * spiritual companionship, a * sense of well-being based on * just being together. * Can it be that you two dif- * fer so widely that you haven't • anything in common but ` a physical love? Gather up * your courage and find out * whether he intends to be a * part-time husband whose home e is a place to eat and sleep, or * if he is willing to give up play- * ing at life and follow the de- * sign of mature couples who * find their reward' in a rich * family relationship for them- * selves and their children. * If two people have not some mutual interests and do not en- * joy spending their leisure to- * gether, marriage soon becomes.

Some- how he got the idea I wanted to go steady; he didn't, so we part- ed. I see him often, 'though. He doesn't avoid me, but I miss him so! "I'd be thankful' if you would tell me how I can find out if he still likes me, and how to get lum back. I know he -doesn't go out much with any other girl "There are two other boys that want to date me. Shall I accept their offer? LONESOME" • Girls your age have lots * more fun and are more popu- * lar if they don't give the im- * pression they want to mon opolize all a boy's time. Boys •in their teens aren't ready to * settle down and they resent * possessiveness, so the girl who * seems too eager puts them on the spot. Keep in mind that * it is his place to suggest go- * ing steady, and you'll save * yourself — and your beau — * a lot of misunderstanding. * This boy may grow interest - 'r ed again when he sees you go- * ing around with the other two. * Be smart and do that. If he * should call you, have a con- * venient engagement that even- " ing, and hereafter let him real- * ize he is just one of several * friends. Otherwise, I'm afraid * you'll not have him take you * out again. * * * Marriage is not for adolescents whose happiness consists of good times. It is for grownups ready to settle down and share the richest experience life holds for any of us.

Ga,¢ndolix.e D. Clarke I am very happy to say there was quite a lot of threshing done in this district during the . latter part of last week. It is not finished by a long.'way but at lease there was a little pro- gress. Here's hoping the wea- ther stays fine so thatall fare mers can salvage what's- left of their siring crop. It was also good weather for the wind-up of the C.N.E. From all accounts it was a very good show but 'I cannot' speak from experience as this was. one time we did not • go -thee e semed so many other things this year to take up our attention—business affairs, vis- itors' coming and going, peaches, pickles and fixing fences. Even though we are .no longer en- gaged 'r farming on a full time basis there is still plenty to do. Perhaps too, we see and do , more in other ways. And it may be we are learning more about our own locality. As to that how well do any of us know the district in which we live? I was wondering this the other day when 1 was looking for peaches —and there wasn't a peach in town. Knowing this a friend said to 'me --"Why don't you get peaches from the S ... farm , —they have lovely fruit!" That was news to me although the S . . farm is only about six or seven miles from here and . they have been growing orch- ard fruits for quite a number of, years. So there you are, good fruit right in our own. neighbourhood aid I didn't know it. But I do know quite a lot of folk are still driving .all the way to the Niagara fruit belt just to get a few bas- kets of peaches. That is only one. example but enough • to prove that it might be worth _our while to make a few in- quiries and explore the pos- sibilities of our own district be- fore travelling farther afield. Of Bourse it didn't take me long to spread the good peach .news around in our own im- mediate family. As a result Bob and Joy came up and we went after more peaches. But it wasn't a straight trip there and back —not with Bobdriving! We climbed the "mountain" by one road and came down by an- other. If it could be called a road. To be it was more like a rocky windingtrail through the bush. Of coursd the view was magnificent the view al- ways is from practically in- accessible places. At the foot of the hills 'we found many isol- ated ranch -type . houses built among the shelter of the trees. Very nice, especially. in sum- mer—et that is what a person likes. But in winter : I took one' look and had visions of snow -filled roads with no ac- cess co civilization except by car—and how would a car get through on seldom -travelled roads? Supposing provisions ran low—or worse someone was suddenly taken ill? People seem to go to such extremes in choosing a place to live. Surely there is a happy medium be- tween living in a congested sub- division and away out in some. neck of the woods? However, it is a case of everyone to 'his taste, I suppose. Come to think of it I visited one family last week who had found the happy medium. It was a farm house, well hidden from the road and yet only ;the distance of the farm lane stood between the occupants and . a '•eeery- busy two-lane highway, vxe11 serviced by buses runp;Mt.;�ti'orth and south. ` `' -F It was a W.I. `meeting that took me to this very, nice coun- try home and it was one of the best meetings I ever attended. Good because the members were so alert to the important part of W.I. work and also to affairs pertaining. to country women as a whole. This was evident by the intelligent discussion of re- solutions sent, in from the Dis- trict area pending their pre- sentation at the forthcofning Convention. The pros and cons of every resolution were con- sidered in detail, and the ells - elusion which arose was most enlightening, Another thing I liked , .. evidently a few min- utes at every meeting is given over to ' studying the Institute Handbook. That .is a wonderful idea. Too many members have only a hazy idea of what lies between the covers of that most important little book—until they are called on to take office. Then it is more than likely the incoming, president or secretary gets in a panic and studies the book from beginning to end. But however much she studies, she cannot, in one gulp, gain the same amount of knowledge from the book that she would have done had it been taken in small doses over a period of years. Maybe the W.I. Hand- book should carry an additional slogan besides "For Home and Country". Perhaps is should carry . The advise—"This book to be read, marked and inwardly digested—by easy stages." By the 'way,how are all the television fans liking the new Channel 6? We are absolutely disgusted. With- Channel 9 . we got a marvellous reception. With Channel 6 itis painful to watch most of the time. It 'is partic- ularly annoying because CBLT has always been our • favourite station. Now the poor reception is driving us to Buffalo. • Make Her Laugh And Win 55,000 I-IacI a good laugh lately? It so, you ought to be feeling pretty fit. Laughter's not only a fine tonic, but it's also a life -length- ener according to an expert who has conducted exhaustive re- search into the value of laughter. So serious is a Paris professor about this laughter business that he has been giving lessons on how to laugh. First he gets his "pupils" — mainly tired business men and women to relax. Then he plays a laughing record on a gramophone and soon every- body is laughing, If people would only exchange more jokes and have more fun in all they do, misunderstandings would vanish from the world, thinks Mr. George Lewis. chief of The National Laughter Foun- datio What is laughter? Take a deep breath and read this ancient technical description; "It's a spasmodic movement of various muscles of the body beginning with those which half close the eyes and those which draw back- wards and upwards the sides of the mouth and then open it to expose the teeth, next affecting those of respiration so as to pro- duce short, rapidly succeeding expirations accompanid by sound...." So now you know!' nA small outcast trib of Ceylon, known as the Veddas, never laugh. When asked why, they reply; "What is there to laugh at?" A sum of $5,000 was once of- fered to anybody who could make a certain woman laugh. Hundreds of people tried to vainly cracking jokes. She list- ened with a serious face to lead- ing New York comedians wise- cracking — and never even smiled. Nobody won the prize. The reason? Because she was incap- able . of laughter. Her facial muscles had been paralyzed ever since she was a girl. Q. I have a figured lamp t wish to place in front of a pic- ture window. Should it face to- ward the living room or the outside? A.
