"Dear Anne Hirst: When I was
In high school, I ran away and
married a man my family did not
like. He was
most unhappy
at home; he
had a step-
mother whorl
he didn't get
along with. I
loved him, so I
disliked her in-
tensely. It be-
came evident
that she disliked me as much.
"After our little girls were born,
any 'husband became restless again
and I found he was turning to his
stepmother and father for consola-
tion.
"We had a lot of bad luck. He
joined the Army. His family seem-

said I could stay with them in re-
turn for my allotment cheque. I
turned them down. Since then, they

Letters Complicate
''Soon my husband's stepmother
began to write endearing letters to
him! I told him that I saw a couple
before he went overseas. He re-
plied, 'The old girl does get a bit
sloppy, doesn't she?' However, he
answered the letters and is still
writing her. None of them seem to
care about my feelings.
"Is there any way to show a man
that his wife and family should
conte first? Is there any way to
tell this woman that site is over-
stepping her place?
"He is still overseas. What I'd
really like to know is just what
place she really occupies in my
husband's life -mother, friend or
lover?"
CON FUSED."
flow differently you'd feel to-
* day if, when you read these let-
* ters, you and your husband had
* had a good laugh together -and
* dismissed the idea of their iuipor-
* tancc as ridiculous.
*, Ha.: it occurred to you that
* your husband is so relieved to
* be on friendly terms with his
* father's wife that he accepts her
* terms of endearment with a
* mental shrug? His reply to you
doesn't indicate he takes her
seriously.
* I know you are suspicious,
* and hurt as well. But if she is
* as malicious as you think, why
* don't you beat her at her own
* game?
* Keep your letters flying across
* to 'hien. Loving letters, brimming
* with news of his friends back
* home, gay with stories of the
children's latest tricks, and tell-
* ing hila in detail just what you've
been doing.
* Enclose amusing clippings,
* snapshots of you all -and remind
* him that you only live for the
* day he conies hoose. You know
* him better than anyone else does
* and can gauge his normal re-
* actions. So he sure that every
letter you send makes him feel
* that he's dropped in at home and
had a wonderful, refreshing visit
't' with you and the children.
*; No platter how tempted you
* are, never say anything about
* his family, except perhaps that
you saw them lately and they're
* all fine. Give hull the impression
* that the unpleasant past you all
* deplored has gone, and that so
* far as you are concerned, the
a future will larint a new feeling
all around,
You won't get anywhere re-
minding him that you and his
children come first, nor accenting
your rights or his wrongs. And
any attempt to tell his step-
mother off can only add new
fuel to the flame of her probable
hatred for you.. .
At least while thousands of
miles lie between you and your
" husband, take it for granted that
* no rivalry for his affections ex-
* ists. The chances are you will
* find it true.

In Chicago
In the dear dead days of long
ago when Prohilvtion was in its
glory, one of its chief beneficiaries,
. a gentleman named Al Capone.
gave a dinner dance attended by
the creme -de -la -creme of Cicero.
One extremely pretty girl, making
her debut ie this select society,
was the cynosure of all eyes, as
she fully expected to be. but as
the evening wore on, she grew
more attd more restive, The host,
Mr. Capone himself, had not ask-
ed her to dance with him.
"He's danced four times With
that frump with all the peroxide
burls and purple beads," she • com-
plained to her escort. "IIe hasn't
even looked at me. \''ou're a big
shot -or so you tell me. I)o some-
thing about it!"
Her hard-pressed escort had a
sudden inspiration. "If yon knew
what 11 meant, Capone dancing
with that lane so often," he told
her, "you wouldn't talk like that.
He's putting the finger on her! She
must know too much. Capone's
signalling the boys to give her a
ride. She's as good as gone right
now!" The girl paled, shuddered
with excitement, and whispered,
"Gee, honey, how was I to know?"
The young Machiavelli was so
pleased with his strategem, he
couldn't resist telling it to Al Ca-
pone, who promptly decified the
joke was too good to cut short,
He walked over to the girl, calmly
took her away from the man to
wltorn she was talking, and said
loudly, "This dance is with me!"
For four dances in succession,
• be whirled her around the floor,
at the end of which the young lady
was so frightened, she was utter-
ing ,incoherent sounds and her
eyes were popping from her head.
Capone appeared more and more
interested.
On the way home, much, much
later, the girl's escort let her in on
his whimsical little joke.
If you're looking for a' story
with a happy ending, this one has
it, I suppose. The girl achieved
some small measure of revenge
within twenty-four hours. Her boy
friend was found 'dead in an alley,
his body sprayed with a dozen
machine gun bullets. She was look-
ing sadly at his picture, and won-
dering what to wear to the funeral
when a messenger arrived with
four dozen long-stemmed American
Beauties. The enclosed card read,
"Mr. Capone expects .you to have
dinner with hint this evening."

Maybe it sotiods crazy, but 1 just
feel as if I want to write only
about the weather --- it is so
beautiful. And there is no better
place to appreciate it than right
here at home. Not only that but 1
have a new vantage point from
which to enjoy the weather - that
is, our rebuilt sunroom, which
faces south-east. It is a job that
has needed doing for years. The
front was falling apart and plaster
chopping off the ceiling but until
now there always seemed to be
some other more in need •of urgent
attention. So the sunroom degener-
ated into a catch-all for the un-
wanted overflow, from other rooms.
The main part of the rebuilding is
done but we still have to wait a
before we can get wiudow sash for
our picture window - it} feet by
5. The. location of the sunroom is
ideal. From one corner we can
see the highway; .from the oppos-
ite corner there is a lovely view
of our neighbour's bush tvitich
borders part of our farm, provid-
ing a good shelter belt and a love-
ly background for our pasture
fields. The immediate foreground •
is• not so good. There is the winter
ashpilc, also an incinerator where
1 have been burning rubbish for
three days! Fortunately such un-
sightly scenery is easily removed.
l don't know how much use the
rest of the family will make of our
sunroom but l know it is going to
be wonderful for me. I have never
been able to sit out in the garden
with my mending, writing or read-
ing because the pesky mosquitoes
torment hie to such an extent that
I have to seek refuge in the house.
Now I shall be able to work, re
lax or do a spot of bird -watching
and enjoy the fresh air and sun-
shine - that is, once the windows
and screens are on. It is going to
be wonderful!
The sunroom is where 1 am sit-
ting now, without benefit of win-
dows and my first visitor has ar-
rived through the empty window
space - a noisy bumble -bee flit-
ting busily back and forth. • Froin
the chestnut tree the starlings are
holding a family con`erence. By
the way, have you noticed that
starlings have one call that is an
exact imitation of the come -hither
whistle commonly used by boys
on the street to attract attention
from the girls passing by. Now I
wonder -are -boys imitating the
starlings, or is it the other way
round.
On April 24th Partner reported
the return of the barn swallows.
At least one swallow was back and
was immediately busy houseclean-
ing. And 1 mean exactly that, This
little swallow was in and out of
the cow stable, pecking vigorously
at the accumulated rubbish in one
of last year's nests, flying away
with it or just letting it drop to
the floor. I wonder if ifr. Swallow
objects to housecleaning as strenu-
ously as some other males - and
with as little result.
Well, there is one thing we can-
not get used to this spring - that
is the hum of neighbour tractors
all around us while our own trac-
tor sits silently in the driving -shed.
As I may have mentioned before
we are not putting in any crop at
all this year as we have the entire
farm down in grass. We should,
at least, have plenty of hay and
pasture. However, the fact that we
are not doing any seeding doesn't
ocean there is no work to do around
here. There are, in fact, enough
clearing up jobs to do to keep

from daylight to dark. Which
reminds rte, five have survived the
first two mornings of daylight sav-
ing time - and we found the'
change -over quite painless, Wt
discovered it is just as easy to
get up at 5.30 D.S.T. as at 5.30
standard time. But we may find it
harder to go to bed at 10.30. which
is our theoretical hour for retiring,
although I always tell Partner he
gets in one sleep before bedtime
and the rest of it afterwards, How-
ever, for that I ane very thankful
because 1 ani sure it is Partner's
ability to sleep that has kept slim
going ever since World War L
What a blessing to go to bed and
drop right off to sleep. "1 can't
sleep!" is such a common com-
plaint - although matly people
would sleep a lot better if they
didn't worry about keeping awake.
If sleepless folk would only tell
themselves that lying awake is not
a major disaster, that they are at
least resting their bodies, then that
thought alone would relax their
nervous systems and in a little
while sleep would surely follow.
Time To Haul Out
In Montgomery, Alabama, P.
wealthy general strode confident-
ly into his bank and sought to cash
his check for a hundred dollars. An
efficiency expert had revolutionized
the bank's system, 'however, and
the paying teller declared, "I'll
have to ask for your identification,
please." "Dammit," roared the gen-
neral, "I've been a depositor here
for years and you know hie per-
fectly well." "Kindly see the sec-
ond vice-president," said the teller.
The second vice-president took
the general to the first vice-presid-
ent and the first vice-president took
him to the president. The presid-
ent okayed the check just in time
to keep the general from having
an apoplectic stroke.
As lie raked in his hundred dol-
lars, the general suddenly demand-
ed, "What's my balance here now?"
The teller investigated and report-
ed rather sheepishly, "$234,405.47,
sir." The general made out a new
cheque for $234,405.47, and said,
"Now, dantmit, get the president
to okay this one. 1 want it in
cash." The frightened president
came pattering over on the double
• and protested, "General, you're
withdrawing your entire balance
with us!"
"I certainly am," said hte gen-
eral. "I figure 1 better grab it while
there's still one idiot in this bank
who seems to recognize me."
They passed her in the park.
"That's Perry's wife," said Carter.
"Thinks" the world of her hus-
band."
"Does she?"
"Rather. She even believes the
parrot taught him to swear."
