"He says he'll fight for a divorce,
and begs me to wait for it. Again,
he tells me he'd rather she get it;
if she refuses, he will go ahead
himself.
"I see hint three times a week.
He has so many plans for our
future! Ile says for me not to

* First, do you really think you

"In his last letter to me, he en-
closed two she has written him -
crazy love -letters that said she
would make him a better wife, and
why doesn't he realize it? She is

Linda Young, three-year-old
daughter of one of the New York's
leading printers, has a new En-
glish governess who is teaching
her perfect manners. -Hen parents
wonder if they are not a shade too
perfect. The other morning, she
followed her father to the ward-

may I borrow a clothes hanger for
a moment, please?" When he gave
her the hanger, she curtsied pret-
tily, took careful aim, and conked
her mother squarely on the head
with it. Then she returned it to her' „
father, saying, "Thank you ever so
much."

graceful nightdress in nylon tricot, will be shown in the textile
section of the 1952 British industries Fair from May 5 to 16. Both
negligee and nightdress were inspired by a dress worn by the
Empress Poppaea, Nero's wife, in the film, "Quo Vadis."

It is too cold for housecleaning;
too wet for seeding -or for raking
the lawns or flower beds, • but it
is a grand time for "redding up"
odds and ends that have accumulat-
ed during the winter. And how
they accumulate! Just recently
friends of our moved away from
their spacious farm home to much
smaller quarters. I just about Wilted
when I saw all the stuff that hai
to be sorted, and then sold, given
away or thrown out, according to
its usefulness or value. What an
ordeal! And yet how uninteresting
our homes would be if we didn't
hoard .anything at all. Imagine
housecleaning the boxroom of,;,„the
attic and having no' old letter", or
school books to look through: Or
patch work pieces to sort, or pic-
tures
iatures and snapshots to look over,
some of which had been almost
forgotten, What fun to take an-
other look at those old school -
group pictures; think of Mamie as '
she is now and see the shy little
girl she used to be -or the sturdy
youth who was such a puny little
boy. And of course .Old Country.
people waste (?) a lot of precious
time looking at postcards and
other relics of bygone days, taking
us back to the past and making
us wonder if we shall ever again
see those old familiar places, And
if we did would they have any
meaning for us now? Times and
places have changed a lot and in
manyrases the folk we Loved are
no 14ger.; yv te:re we left them.
I sgpos.e, ao, there are fashions
in hoat•.d~iag as~ in everything else.
The,flaiia*ra't we hoard now are
very diffe n.t':1rom those of grand-
mother's day. Then it was heavy
clothing to make over for the chil-
dren, or to be cut up during the
winter for rugs • and quilts.
Now in many . an attic; instead
of clothing there are antique pieces
of furniture waiting to, be refinish-
ed - probably. rescued frons the,
woodshed or picked up 'at an auc-
tion sale. The other day I saw
a beautiful cedar -lined, hand -carv-
ed oak chest. It had 'been brought
' over from England and had been
salvaged from an old back kitchen,
or scullery, where it had been used
as a handy place on which to cut
up the meat after an animal had
been - butchered!
The time we spend in "redding
up" depends to a great extent on
the weather. As long •as it stays
cold, 'wet, or stormy we are in-
clined to dawdle on the job, en-
joying it to the full. But let the
weather change and very soon sen-
timent gives way to ordinary,
everyday commnoll sense so that in
'our desire to speed up the work we
find ourselves a little more ruth-
less in discarding treasures of the
past. A little sunshine and we
really step around, especially after
a rainy_ spell such as we have had
just recently. .Of course spring is
really 'just around the corner. No
doubt it would have been here be-
fore but apparently an extensive
detour was necessary before it
could actually get here. But don't
worry -it is corning all right•
must be, Why? Well, three days
ago I heard geese going over , .
and snowdrops are blooming; daf-
fodils are itr' bud; rhubarb is peek-
ing rosy -red through : its whiter
bed, and the swamp frogs, though
silent now, have beett heard sing-
ing: 'ro say nothing of two cock
robins that were carrying out pre-
cision exercises on our front lawn
SALLY'S SALLIES
"If the cle_ •-I's would only shrink
their bills like they did thisl"
o n l y yesterday. The Mountie's
Musical Ride had nothing on these
two robins. They • ran, stopped-.
ran, stopped; left wheeled and
right wheeled as one bird. It was
'a fascinating exhibition to watch
-only by watching could one be-
lieve such a feat was'possible.
Today' I saw something else that
was equally extraordinary. Tippy
and a visiting dog were having a
little argument w Ii i c h showed
promise of developing into a first
class fight. However, before it had
a chance to materialize a black
streak of fury was upon them, back
arched, tail in the air and using
the most awful language, That
• streak was our Black Joe. Now, 1
thought, I've seen everything.
When dog chases cat, that's noth-
ing, But when one Ione cat chases
two big dogs and breaks up a fight,
that is really news. As soon as 'he
had the dogs separated, Black Joe
shinned up a chestnut tree and
stayed on guard.
,Today I watched as good a
feinting match as I ant ever likely
to see. Tippy came on a ground-
hog unawares. She caught it, then
dropped it. Arid then Tippy and
' the groundhop, circled and jockey-
ed for position with lightning
speed. Twice Tippy caught it and
dropped it again and the perfor-
mance was repeated until the third
and " last time, the groundhog
gamely fighting in defence of its
life. Poor little creature -1 would
like to have rescued it. So tiny
and yet so brave.
•
ONCE -BUT NOT NOW
..People of the theatrical and lit-
erary' worlds place the usual pre-
.mium on success, but they still
have time to show compassion and
understanding for those who no
longer can snake the grade. In
Hollywood, however, the competi-
tion ;is so fierce .and the sense of
insecurity so pervading that no-
body rlias. any time for fallen big -
shots of yesterday. A star who
has managed to hold his place
through the years unconsciously
summed up the Hollywood atti-
tude at a dinner party recently.
"The time to salt your money
away is when you're rolling along
on top," he announced. "You !never
know when you're going to hit the
skids. For example, take the pic-
ture I'm doing. 1t calls for a flock
of extras. I was looking them over
at the studio this morning -a mot-
ley crew -and you'd be amazed
to know how many of them were
once my friends!"

Modern Etiquette
By Roberta Lee
Q. Are showers for prospective
bridegrooms appropriate?
A. They are growing in popular-
ity, although mostly humorous in
character. Usually they consist of
socks too gaudy to wear, "dainty"
handkerchiefs, budget books, hall -
and -chain, and the like. Of course,
the shower of useful gifts is also
appropriate -such as a book shower,
smoking - necessities shower, or
works hip -tool shower.
Q. I've been told it is permissible
to leave the soup spoon in the soup
bowl. Is this correct?
A. If the plate on which the bowl
rests is wide, it is better to lay the`
spoon on it. If very narrow, how-
ever, it is all right to leave the
spoon in the bowl.
Q. Is it necessary that a pall-
bearer at a funeral wear a black
suit?
A. No; any dark business suit is
appropriate.
Q. How should one take the
olive stone from the mouth?
A. It should be removed from the
mouth with the thumb and fore-
finger, and laid on the plate. Never
be guilty of ejecting it from the
mouth directly to the plate, or into
the palm of the hand!
Q. If several members of a family
go together to buy a wedding gift,
is it all right for the bride to write
a note of thanks to just one of
them and ask her to thank the other
members of the family?
A. No; the bride' must write a
separate note of thanks to each
person.
Q. Is it correct to have a mono-
gram engraved on the envelope of
social stationery?
A. No; the monogram should be
engraved only on the note paper.
Q. When you are talking with
someone whose name you cannot
remember ,readily, ..and . another
friend joins you, should you at-
tempt an introduction?
A. It is better to attempt an in-
troduction than, to leave two per-
sons standing awkwardly staring
at each other. Here you can say,
"1 am very sorry, but for the
moment I cannot recall your
name."
Q. What is the correct way to
address a letter to a friend whose
husband has recently passed away?
A. The same as always -"Mrs.
Frank T. Wilson."
Q. What is the proper way to
eat an apple at the table?
A. Cut the apple into quarters,
then peel it. The pieces are then
conveyed to the mouth with the
fingers,
Q. What is customary to use as
a centerpiece for the wedding
breakfast table?
A. The wedding cake.
Petticoat • Hints
When yott go shopping for an
iinportant petticoat to set off an
important dress, he sure it takes
to soap and water. Look for a
fabric that's made to he washed,
that won't wilt at the first wetting,
or lose its crispy rustle. A petti-
coat that can't be sudsed like other
undies is a luxury few women can
afford.
Take time also to look for easy -
washable trim such as permanent-
ly pleated ruffles which will save
valuable time at the 'ironing board,
or choose a fabric that needs no
ironing at all.
Care of Coats
Before tucking away that old pet
hunting coat in moth -balls and
putting it in the family cedar chest,
be sure to give it a coat of good
canvas water -proofing such as is
used for tents. This will not only
preserve the material but will keep
those blood-soaked places at the
bottoms of the game pockets from
rotting.
DIDN'T KNOW THEIR OATS
When you eat your oatmeal just
thank your stars that the old Ro-
man farmers clicln't have weed
sprayers. The Rotnans figured oats
were weeds -but. they never quite
killed them all off. These days
Canadian and U.S. farmers grow
about 13 billion bushels of oats
yearly.
For Cleaner Rugs
A brush is better than a cloth
for removing stains from a deep -
pile carpet, according to Miss
Florence King, noted clothing
specialist. She also advises wash-
ing the soiled areas in the direr•'
tion of the pile --not crosswise to
it•,
Use a thick soaplcss lather, she
says, for the first step in removing
the stain. After you finish the
lather treatment, wipe the spot
with a clean cloth that has been
dipped into clear warm water and
squeezed to remove excess mois-
ture.
If this treatment does not re-
move all of the stain, follow with
a grease solvent, such as carbon
tetrachloride. Use a brush to get
the solvent well into the pile.
If these two treatments do not
completely remove the stain, start
all over again. Repeat the lather
and solvent treatment to remove
the remaining stain,
SPEEDSTER
A woman was talking with a
friend about the athletic achieve-
ments of the latter's son.
"Your boy must be an excep-
tionally fast runner; I see by this
morning's paper that he fairly
burned up the track with his record
breaking speed. I suppose you saw
him do it?"
"No, I didn't see him do it,"
replied the boy's mother, "hut 1
saw the track this morning and
there was nothing but cinders
there."
