you are when you say one c>. -
not know a man until she mar-
ries hints!
"Soon after my wedding 23
years ago, I found myself living
with a man I did not know, He
really is so conceited he thinks
nobody on earth compares with
him! I have spent all these
years trying to please him, and I
find it beyond me. , .
"He is anti -social, he has no
use for my friends, and I dis-
cover he has almost no friends
of his own.
"When we were going together
he was always polite to my fam-
ily, but ever since our marriage
he has objected to their visiting
us. When I get too hungry to
see them, I slip there on the sly,
which is degrading.
"It was even worse as our
children grew up. He stormed
if they went anywhere, and they
could only have their friends
here when he w a s away.
Throughout all these years, I
have tried to make him under-
stand that we could not live to
ourselves like this — and then
he declares that I only, want to
see other men!
"I did leave him once, but I
could not stay away because I
knew the children needed me.
Now they are all grown and on
their own (they left home as
soon as they could), and I am at
the point of leaving, too. I've a
little money and am perfectly
able to hold a job. What do you
think?
FINISHED".
* 1MIany a wife in such a spot
"` rebels at first and argues for
* a normal life; when she finds
* she cannot have it, she gives
* up. She allows herself to be-
* come a dull creature of habit
• fulfilling her duties like an
* automaton, bereft of all hope.
TOOTHSOME TOT — All set to

IN SUSPENSE
"Dear Anne Hirst: My hus-
band and 1 have been separated
for a year and seven months. I
can't go out and •have any fun,
because if he sees me with a man
he starts a scene. But when I
see him with any girl, I don't
sal; anything. •
"I've been `sweethearting'
ai. ound with him for a few
months now, but still he doesn't
say anything about our going
back together . , I'rn tired of
all this nonsense, but I don't
know what to do. Please give
one some advice.
LOU"
* The quickest way to bring
• your husband to bis senses is
* to tell him you are not going
* to date him at all.
* He is probably trying to
* make up his mind whether to
* live with you again or take up
"` your time with no sense of re-
* sponsibility for your future.
This is manifestly unfair. If
'^ you forbid him to see you he
* will soon find out the state of
his heart and ask -for another
* trial — or accept the verdict
* and not bother you again.
* Whatever his decision, it
* will relieve your mind, and you
* will know where your future
* lies — with him or without
"' hint.

Never let oppression get you
don. Keep your spirit alive, and
look forward to tomorrow. Anne
Hirst will help you gather the
courage to broaden and, brighten
your life. Write her at Box 1, 123

CANNED FIS}I BITING
While fishing in the Pacific,
near Ventura, California. Jess
Monahan felt a sluggish contact.
He struck solidly. His catch
wasn't putting up a running fight
but he had difficulty reeling it
in. It consisted of a gunny sack
in which were 144 cans of sar-
dines.
"I've done a lot worse!" was
Monahan's only comment.

side with their dolls and buggies,
Rusty, or whatever else takes
their fancy. And you never
know ... this morning 'Partner
found the two of them in the
dog -kennel with Rusty outside
chewing a bone. Yesterday Nan-
cy crawled through a rail fence
and was discovered heading for
the cows. There is never a dull
moment around here these days.
The rainless days have result-
ed in our cistern going dry —
that is rainless days, plus the
normal requirements of our
household; plus- daily baths for
two small children and big
washings every other day. Not
that it matters — when the soft
water gives out we connect the
hard water to the pressure sys-
tem and take it from there. That
was the way Partner had it ar-
ranged when we put the bath-
room in. I remember the plumb-
; ey saying he had never put in a
pressure system that way before
and wasn't sure whether it would
work. However he dict as Part-
ner directed and it has worked
out very well. Never yet have
we been short of water, and in
a farm home that is saying a lot
since our water supply has to be
shared with the livestock. We
know of cases in old farm houses
where pressure systems have
been installed without due re-
gard to the water supply and in
some cases the water gave out,
Few people realise what a thirs-
ty piece of equipment a bath-
room can be — especially if
there is much entertaining. City
visitors„ alas, invariably imagine
the farm water supply so be
unlimited, which can result in
an embarrassing situation.
There is a lovely thick carpet
of leaves' on our front Iawn, nicer
crunchy, crackly leaves that
rustle as we kick our way
through. Poplar, chestnut and
elm„ all mixed up together by
drifting winds. And of course
there are chestnuts, hundreds Of
them, Chestnuts that somehow
get carried into the house and
are found under kitchen chairs
and living -room furniture. If
they stayed under the furniture
it wouldn't be so bad but occa-
sionally they are left in the
middle of the floor — and a
chestnut isn't the most comfort-
able thing to step on in a hurry,
Of course chestnuts and fall-
ing Leaves bring with them a
note of warning . . . a warning
that if we have not already done
so the time has come to replen-
ish the oil tanks or'fill up the
coal bin, Even an bright, sunny
days when night clouds gather
there is a bite in the air that
hakes us welcome the comfort
of a warm .home, plait:, if we
have a set, the entertainment of-
fered by television. But even
TV provides us with problems.
Friday nights, .for instance ,
boxing bouts and Person to Per-
son conflict for part of the time.
Partner, of course, wants one
and I the other. We generally
reach a compromise in some way,
depending on what each program
has to offer. We haven't yet
reached the stage of thinking two
sets are necessary! In fact we
think ourselves lucky to have
even one. And there are times
when one is more than enough
if the choice of a program is be-
tween an inferior play or a va-
riety show. We are glad Omni-
bus, Perspective, Fighting Words
and Graphic are back on the
screen. Of course we always en-
joy the Buffalo University Panel
Discussion, also Toronto's Tab-
loid. And to think that this time
last year we stoutly maintained
that we had no desire for televi-
sion at all. Now we wouldn't
be without it for anything — and
it certainly comes in handy with
small children, if used in moder-
ation. When the small fry have
reached the stage of being over-
tired and cantankerous: Lassie,
Walt Disney or Clarabell invari-
ably save the day.'
Tomorrow is going to be an-•
other big day in our fancily. Ed-
ward is to be christened and we
are all going down for the cere-
mony. .Bob is to be one of the
godfathers. Later in the week it
will be David's third birthday.
How time flies! First a wedding
and then a christening: another
wedding, another christening —
and so it goes. Then come birth-
days and .anniversaries, extra
ones each year and you catch
yourself wondering about the
dates — have we forgotten thins
one or that? There seem to be
so many to remember, and none
that we would like to forget.
And at Christmas time the family
gathering gets a little bigger
every year so that it is no good
we who are older thinking we
can dispense with a Christmas
tree. Never a chance! Once
again we find ourselves in the
middle of it -all, only with an-
other generation, But thank
heaven, it is a generation we
can enjoy without assuming tote
much responsibility. Grandpar.
ents have their place In the
scheme of things but it is not a
place of .full control. Not if .we
are wise.
