HUSBAND'S INFIDELITYI"
"Dear Anne Hirst: V4re recently
anoved to this strange town. I ani
✓ ery lonely, and beset by bitter
anemories. This is why:
"Nearly a year ago we bought a
new house back
home, across the
street from our
best friends ..
Soon,I discover-
ed that the wife
was mostly at
our house while
I was working
-making love to
my husband!
"They went away together, for
two weeks ... I guess he got tired
of her. He came home and asked
that I stop work, and move away.
So I locked the door of our nice
new home, and came here to live
in a small apartment.
"He declares he loves me, and
I surely love him. But I am near-
ly crazy!

LONELY AND BITTER
"Here, nay husband works every
day, sometimes on Sunday. I am
left entirely alone with my memor-
ies, We enjoy our evenings, play-
ing records and reading, and we
like outdoor sports. He does not
smoke or drink, and he had never
sought any other woman. That one
threw herself at him, and I guess
he could only take it.
"But I can't forget what he did
to me! Can you help me to?
A. C."

PRAISE AND WARNING
"Dear Anne Hirst: What a pri-
vilege -and responsibility -is yours
in advising others in their problems!
"Far from being the laughable
position the movies so often show
it, your job involves the making
of constant decisions, the end re-
sults of which will be felt in the
lives of many.
"Remember to encourage others,
and (as you so often do) to find
their strength in the Lord, who is
indeed a 'very present help in time
of trouble.'
"May the Lord Mese nu with
n i.urlom.
A MOTHER WITH
MANY BLESSINGS"
* From my childhood, I was'
raised in my family's church, in
* which my grandfather was a
* deacon. Often I recommend faith
* and prayer as aids to any human
* problem-
* But usually 1 do so only when
" a reader indicates that religion is
* part of her thinking, 0: that she
has strayed. from the church she
* used to attend. 1 have no right
* to presume upon the duty of
" minister or priest.
* 1 do appreciate your comment,
*. and most warmly.
* You will be happy to know that
* in these days of confusion and
• instability. more and more people
* are turning, or returning, to the
* church for comfort and fresh
* rout age.
If you and your husband have
known trouble, branch out into a
more active life that will provide
new and thrilling interests ,

milk? Both of them live at the home of Mrs, Olive Kirsche.
ILIRONICLES
%INGERFARM Gw.¢
Last week, while the weather
was still cool, we spent the better
part of the day fixing up window
screens and putting them where
they belonged. And not a day too
soon. No sooner were the screens
on the windows than the weather
turned' hot and humid. However,
with air getting into the house from
all directions we are now quite
comfortably cool. In fact, although
it is 88 degrees outside I have just
found it necessary to don a light-
weight sweater.
Different people have different
ideas about how to keep the house
cool in summer. We have often
been told that the only way is
to shut the doors and windows and
thus keep the heat out Well, I've
tried it, and we don't like that way
at all. The house stays cool all
right but we find it suffocating. At
such a time Partner has often conte
in and exclaimed - "For heaven's
sake get some air in here!" So
now, however hot it is the doors
and windows stay open -with the
blinds half down. Last Saturday I
did not realize how hot it was
until 1 got down town. I was shop-
ping as usual and the heat was in-
sufferable, And so was the parking!
As to that, is there any ;small
country town where parking has
not already become quite a prob-
lem?
In our local shopping centre park-
ing has been more nr less flee and
easy up to the preesnt but just
recently parking restrictions have
been imposed. Now we go down
town, look up and down the street
. ah, what luck, there's an empty
space .. . we drive up to it only
to be confronted with a newly in-
stalled standard -"No parking on
this side of the street." 1 suppose
that is as it should be and is for
the protection of every person using
the street, but it still doesn't solve
the parking problem, Back streets
are being used more and more for
this purpose and, since many of
them are narrow, this practise also
presents a hazard. Maybe the time
will come when every shopping
district will have a drive-in park-
ing area similar to Simpson's on
Richmond Street, in Toronto! Any-
thing rather than parking meters -
or "steel pick -pockets" as Gordon
Sinclair calls them.
One reason for the increasing
numbers of cars in small towns -
and the resultant parking conges-
tion -is the ever-increasing number
of people from the country who
drive to their nearest town instead
of doing most of their shopping at
the local "corner s..7re" as they
used to. One reason for this is
sn they may take advantage of the
cheaper prices offered by chain
stores in many lines of staples
in these days of high living
costs can you blame anyone for
shopping where prices are lower?
To give one instance that was
brought to my attention. One
country store was selling a well-
known brand of coffee at $1.15 a
pound. That same brand could be
bought for 99c in a nearby town -
not only from chain stores but from
an independent grocer, The count-
ry storekeeper when approached
insisted he could not sell goods any
cheaper and still stay in business.
Not 'having the experience of a
country storekeeper I am not in a
position to judge but yet it seems
obvious to nee that no man running
a country store can hope to be in
business if he loss customers by
having prices out of litre with stores
in nearby shopping centres. Grant-
ed his daily, or weekly, turnover
must be considerably less, but then
surely his overhead expenses must
also be less.
The busy little country corner
store has been almost a national in-
stitution for so many years -1 .hate
to think of it as one more thing
that may pass away. And yet the
writing is on the wall -unless
country storekeepers and rural
shoppers can meet each other half-
way in regard to selling prices.
Personally, if we had a little store
within easy reach of us, and with
prices that were reasonable, I would
certainly deal there in .preference
to going down town where one
must waste time driving around
looking for a place to park, and
then waste more time waiting to
be served. Or if one must park on
a side street, then one is faced with
the alternative of carrying parcels
a block or more to the car. And
that often means making two or
three trips, depending upon the
amount of shopping that has been
done.
There is room in the country
for up-and-coming general mer-
chants -but the easy-going cracker-
barrel type has surely had its day.
SKIRTS
Sociologists have proved that
scientists and artists "respond un-
wittingly to the aspirations and the
reasoning of the world in which
they live. It is .no accident that
Italian artists of the fifteenth cen-
tury painted many madonnas and
saints, or that Louis XV danced
the minuet and not the waltz. The
last report of Cycles indicates that
all this applies to fashions in wo-
men's clothes as well as to the
subject -matter of art. If the coutur-
iers of the Rue de la Paix imagine
that they are free agents they will -
be disillusioned by this report,
which is a recapitulation of the
findings of Mrs. Agnes Brooks
Young. ' The couturiers probably
don't know ite but what Mrs. Young
calls the present bell-shaped skirt
will endure until perhaps 1970. If
the couturiers want to know the
shape of the skirts that they will
be designing in 1980 and thereafter
Mrs. Young is the woman to tell
then.
There is no guessing about this.
Mrs. Young has plotted fashion
cycles from 1760 on, and shown
that skirts change ' in style every
third of a century or so. Why every
third of a century? Because there
are only three types of skirt con-
tours and shapes -what she calls
"back -fullness," "tubular" and the'
"bell," •which went as far as it could
go with the hoop skirt. If Mrs.
Young had taken the trouble to
go back to ancient times she would
have found bell skirts and hoop
skirts in some very old Greek
statuary. Within her cycles there
are variations, but they are held
within an iron framework. The
transitions are not sudden, which
helps to create the illusion that the
fashion designers may be as whim-
sical as they please. Back in 1937,
when the tubular skirt was still
with us, Mrs. Young predicted that
bell skirts would "come in" again.
They did.
All this supplements the work
that Dr. Alfred Kroeber and other
social anthropologists did years
ago. Like Mi•s. Young, they dis-
pelled the idea that the fashion de-
signers are free agents. Who dictat-
es what will be worn? The common
people, it seems. They do it -but
how? There is no answer --they
just do it.

CRASH SAFETY
E. B, Dye, of the Cornell Aero-
nautical Laboratory, has developed
a so-called "beam pad" principle
for aircraft helmets to protect the
bead against severe blows. "Beam
pad" helmets reduce effects of im-
pact four or five told compared
with ordinary helmets and with a
reduction of helmet weight. The
Cornell Committee For Transpor-
tation Safety Research believes
that the same principles can be
applied in designing automobiles
and planes.
How Can I?
By Roberta Lee
Q. • How can I make a rose
jar, or potpourri?
A. Select a large -mouthed jar,
and put in a layer of rose leaves
one inch thick. Sprinkle with
salt, and add one or two cloves.
Repeat this process until the lar
is full. Let stand for about 10
days, then remove to permanent
jar, and if desired add one ounce
essence of roses. Tar should be
kept tightly closed, opening for
a few minutes each day, as frag-
rance is desired.
Q. How can I make a moth-
proof bag?
A. Newspapers, stitched to-
gether, can be made into very
serviceable mothproof bags for
storing garments out of sea*oe,
due to the fact that moths are
not fond of newsprint,
Q. How can I make use of dis-
carded umbrel'a ribs?
A. These ribs make good and
lasting supports for trailing
flowers. If they are painted a soft
green, they will hardly be noticed
in the garden.
Q. How can I prevent window
screens from rusting,
A. They will not rust, and will
look like new, if a coat of linseed
oil is applied to them.
Q. Ho'v can I store my funs
for the summer, instead of leaving
them at a fur house?
A. See that the furs are thor-
oughly cleaned; sprinkled freely
with powdered tobacco; place in a
suit box with close -fitting lid; theca
wrap securely in seval thicknesses
of newspaper.
Q. How can I clean reed and
rattan furniture?
A. Use a stiff brush dipped its '
furniture polish. This not only
cleans the furniture well, but gives
it an added gloss.
Q. How can 1 remedy cotton
goods that has become badly
scorched?
A. Dip the goods into cold wa-
ter and hang it in the sun to drip
and dry. Repeat this process sev-
eral times if necessary.
