To "G.M.: You have lots of com-
pany l; Most nice women do not dis-
cuss their private lives with even.
close friends, and resent any com-
ments or enquiries about it.
It is largely a matter of tempera-
ment, and of their home training.
You were brought up to believe
that ,your private life is your own,
'too intimate for open discussion.
To those who persist in comment-
ing, say: "I'm sorry, but I'm just
one of those old-fashioned girls who
don't tajlt about it" -and change the
subject. Most of them will get the
point. Those who are too thick-
skinned are not worth your friend-
ship.
It is a delicate situation, and I
sympathize. If you look about and
find new acuaintances, I think you
will discover that these indelicate
people are in the minority.

If your husband has offended,
make up your own mind whether
to forgive him or not, Friends are
eager to advise, but only you know

Metals In Your Hair
Results of a two-year study of the
metallic content of Bair. 'skin and
nails were presented before the So-
ciety for Investigative Dematology; •
by Dr. Raymond WW'. Goidblurii,'i`
Minute quantities of heavy metals.'"
such as silver, lead, tin, zinc, iron,
upper and aluminum were among
nineteen found in hair. Many of the
heavy metals participate in the
chemical processes of the skin. A
better understanding of the kinds
and relative amounts of the different
metal` that normally are found in
hair, nails and skin will enable doc-
tors to barn more about various
skin diseases, Dr, Goldhlnnr said.
A hospital in Memphis unexpect-
edly received a $25,000 gift from an
aged oil man. He explained he
owed it to the institution because
he had been a charity patient there
sixty years before.

It happened again! 1 was up to
my ears in paper and paint, doing

laugh -never thinking such a coin-

definitely. But the next, afternoon
there he was! .1 had just finished

lock at aur dining -room 1 feel
1 have aelfeved something. It is
one of those old fashioned rooms
with wood -panelling all around -
and six doors, two windows,, three
cupboards and a big. closed -up
fireplace. So there is plenty of

dark room and 1 was determined
to brighten it somehow. So here
is how 1 (I'd it. Ceiling peach;

the hack of glass cupboard, will
be deep coral -when 1 can get it.
The cretonne rurta.ns, cottage

mentioned. The floor is maple,
and is being treated to a coat of
hard finish -slow drying stuff, so
I lead to leave a track for us to
walk on to get in and out of the
var''ous rooms. I didn't think Part-
ner would take too k ndly to the
idea of having to'go out the front
door first thing in the morning and
ali around the house to get to the
kitchen! After all, we women
have to make our decorating or-
gies as pa'nless as possible for our
menfolk.

don't get as much kick out of

it is hard work -but with compen-

Vases, pictures, wastepaper bas-
kets, inherited or bequeathed, that
never did fit in anywhere before,
are often found to be just right
for the new -colour woodwork or
walls. And it is surprising what
treaeures can be unearthed from
attics and cellars, A cracked mir-
ror can be cut and squared to form
alt attractive table centre -piece; an
old vegetable tureen filled with
flowers or fixed up as a miniature
garden completes the picture,
Well, it is the week -end again --
and by working early and late I
managed to get the house straight-
ened around. Daughter was to
come out on Sunday -but missed
the bus. Bob wasn't sure whether
he could get home . . . and then
he came. Our unpredictable child-
ren!
This afternoon Partner and 1
explored the new highway that
runs past our gate. Then we cut
across country to the sandhills
from whence the construction com-
pany. operates. It being Sunday
there was no actual, work going
on but a watchman on duty explain-
ed to us all the intricate details
of the huge "hot -mix" machinery.
The boiler for the mixer was still
going full blast -the mixer has'
to be kept hot, weekdays and Sun-
days -if it were allowed to cool
the asphalt would harden and be
worse than useless as it would then
gum things up completely.
Itt the sandhills,which had hem
left exposed by the power shovels,
we noticed dozens and dozens ok
holes in the sides of the bills-
nests of the sand -martins, The
little birds were flying bade an4
forth by the hundred, I azo sore,.
Darting in and out of their nests,
chattering among themselves and
generally having a great time, So
was Honey, who was with us,
Suddenly she took after a swallow
that was flying low. It zoomed
over a sandbank. We called Hon-
ey just in time to stop her zooming
over the bank as well.
The country is still very lovely
with luxuriant growth in lelds,
pastures and woods. The wheat,
to my surprise, is already in head.
Plenty of work in sight.

Tribute from Calvert to Canadians of Icelandic descent
CANADA'S strength steins largely
from her ability to blend the racial
and cultural heritages of people
from many lands. •
Icelandic culture marches cord•
sally with that of settlers from
other nations, proudly .linked by a
common citizenship in the great
Canadian Family.
The first settlers from Iceland
arrived in 1870. Within a few years
they were joined by hundreds more
and settled at Gimli on the shores
of, Lake Winnipeg. One of the
more famous Icelandic Canadians,
l
V'ilbjalmur Stefansson, added nituch
to Canada's knowledge of her North-
land,
orth,.land, by his Arctic. explorations.
The Icelanders, whose forefather:,
founded parliamentary institutions
over a thousand years ago, are
prominent in business as_ bankers,
grain brokers and rnerchants, and '
have made notable progress in the
professions as doctors, engineers,
lawyers and, teachers, 4
