I handle ours, and it's a big nuisance. My husband did not want to be bothered with' it, so I took it on when we mar- ried tw o years ago. I am too impatient to en- joy it; more than once I've made bad mistakes that landed us in a hole. He never scolds, just goes over the figures and straightens me out, "Once I got so discouraged I asked him to take over. He did, for two months—and forgot to pay important bills! He does have a responsible position, and often works at night. I'ni willing enough, but the job irks me and I've come to hate it, • "We never quarrel about money. I give hint an allowance, and if he needs more I hand that out too. I spend little on myself, because that makes me feel guilty, "I'd feel better if he'd do the whole thing, and I ask him for what I want. He is so indulgent that I'm sure I wouldn't mind, "Is there any easy way to mans age? BAD BOOKKEEPER" FIGURES ARE COMFORTING * The word budget scares you, * I expect.

SHALLOW WATER A motor -cyclist in Devon came to a stream flowing across the road. "Is it deep?" he asked a yokel. "No, only about two inches," the chap replied. The man rode on and the water carte up to his ears. "I thought you said it wasn't deep?" he shouted. "Well," said the yokel, "it only conies halfway up our ducks." How empty learning, how vain is art, but as it mends the life and guides the heart. —Young Performers AiI—Left to right are seen Tallulah Bankhead, Lucienne Boyer and Margaret Truman, the President's daughter who plans a busy season this Fall on the Concert stage. � . evu2r doline, 0 Cls. b;,e --- Well, maybe I had better let -the rest of the week take care of itself and devote my attention to last Friday. That was the day we.went to the C. N. E. But first let. me tell you how we went. Our,. first thought was to leave the car at home and go by bus—the traffic is far too heavy for me these days. Then I remembered our young neighbours—no car, but the man a careful and experienced transport driver. So wasn't that a perfect set- up ... Our car, good driver, room for four other passengers and a free pass to the grounds• on my -press day invitation? The day was hot and humid, but quite bearable—no sun and a cool- ing breeze off the' lake. Whei" the car was packed we all parted `Com- pany, going our separate wads to take in whatever interested us Most. Many folk have long since realized it is the only way to make the `best use of their time at the Big Fair, Early morning is a comfortable time for seeing exhibits, especially in the Women's Division. A (6t of handiwork does not receive the , at- tention it deserves as each onye pf us has only one pair of eyes4aiid feet—and both give out all ; too soon. But remember those ezrliibits . think of the hours and hours of work by literally hundreds . of busy fingers that made those exhi- bits possible. Pottery, quilts, sew- ing, shellcraft, weaving ... impos- sible to list them all. Even a straight exhibit, like the reproduc- tion of a portion of Princess Eliza- beth's furniture and table appoint- ments means a lot of work—{list to give us a glimpse of gracious and royal living. There was one exhibit which both delighted and disappointed me -the Crown Jewels. In replica, of course. 999,,aeetvoeam ea Raised light and fender with new est DRY Yeast! • There's a new twist in doughnuts— a new thrill in all your baking! Say goodbye to perishable yeast — Fleischmann's Fast Rising Dry Yeast keeps full strength until you use it — fast -acting when you use it. Get a dozen packages —. it keeps in your cupboard! Years ago I saw the original Crown Jewels in the Tower of London but visitors there get little chance to examine theist closely—so little room and so many people to view this historc and fascinating collec- tion. Now, at the Exhibition, I shall have my opportunity, I ' thought, What natter if the Jewels are only copies—that at least give people a chance to know what the real ones look like. 1 expected to find the Jewels in a prominent place and given all kinds of publicity. But where were they? In an out -of -the way corner of the Women's Building! How many men go through 'the women's sec-' tion—except out of courtesy to their wives? Partner wanted to see the Jewels but he would pro- bably have missed them had I not told him where they were. And they are certainly worth seeing. But I wonder . , . how many know of the history, intrigue, romance and adventure connected with the Crown jewels? I would have liked to see this exhibit in the British section with an official in charge handing out printed leaflets, giving a brief history of the,Crown Jewels. It would have been, highly educe.- ' •tional and given the Canadian public a better understanding of the importance of each Crown and sceptre. For instance, the abortive attempt -of Colonel Blood to steal the Crown Jewels during the reign of Charles II is more thrilling than any modern detective novel, But ou with the show. For me another highlight of the day was the Press luncheon where one ean always be sure of meeting old friends and acquaintances and of being introduced to others whom one had known only by repute through thr medium of radio and reading. Many of theist are also known to those who read this col- umn . , . Edna Jaques, Ethel Chap- man, "Cherry," Jane Weston, Mrs. G. A. Dills, Lillian Foster, Lillian C. Gray, Margaret Aitken, Mona Gould, Mrs. Catherine Marsden, joy Trantet', and, of course, the in- comparable Kate Aitkens and the irrepressible Horace Lapp. There is always plenty of fun and laughter at this luncheon, and the setting is ideal for a hot day—on a bal- ' cony overlooking the lake, During the afternoon many of us return- ed for a leisurely cup of tea, with still greater opportunity for meeting and. chatting with friends both old and new. About 5 p.m. our little party met at the appointed place and started for home. Somewhere near Port Credit, on the Queen Eliza- beth we ran into a traffic jam. The cause was nine eastbound cars in a string, radiators and rear ends jam- med together. Tow trucks and traf- fic officers were having a sweet time. The police certainly have their problems on our super four -lane highways—highways that were built primarily for speed and safety! Giant Gooseberries Lancashire was the champion county for giant gooseberries when they were in fashion among fac- tory workers and miners. At some of the gooseberry shows the exhi- bits were "as big as pumpkins, There was an art in growing' these giants, and the shower's greatest difficulty was to feed the berries to the last stages of plumpness with- out bursting the skin. Size and weight of the fruit in- creased if, when the berries were breathing—at sunrise and sunset— the unsetthe tops of each were dipped into a teaspoonful of milk, "They sup- ped it up 'like as if it was humans wi' ale!'" It was sheer waste feed. ing theist on beer, for the berries burst their sides with taking too much, •• After such fuss and preparation it was little wonder that the open- ing hour of the gooseberry show was "as tense and as weird as a funeral." Music must take rank as the highest of the fine arts—as the one which, more than any other, rain-, isters to human welfare. —Herbert Spencer HAS SERVICE PL,Pr.N EVASIO»lf Goodness, Me.—Oswald Q.
