ANNE 1411:2ST
yam.. Family anivinAari,
"Dear Anne Eirst: My trouble
is my daughter-in-law. Our only
son was so sweet to us until he
married her.
Now he cannot
be and live
with his wife.
"We gave
him a college
education, and
his wife is a
college grad-
uate, too. We
could not af-
ford that for
ourselves, so in her sight we are
very mediocre. We are just good,
common, Christian folks, with a
nice home and a good living—but
to her, we are poor, white trash.
"We wanted a daughter-in-law
so badly—and now we seem to
have no son ! We tried so hard
to make her feel at home, and
gave them so many nice things.

But the more I do, the worse she
seems to hate me.
"This is grieving me almost to
death. If I cannot see my son and
be with hini now and then, life is
hardly worth while.
"I have never said one word
about this to him, for I would
net cause him any unhappiness.
I know he cannot be contented
as things are, but he" can't help
himself.
"Do you think a girl really
loves her husband when she
treats his people se coldly? What
do you think I should do?

* You are helpless in this sit-
'" nation. You dare not visit your
* son's home too often, for you
* know his wife does not wel-
* come you. Your boy may be
* unhappy as you believe, but,
* as you say, he is helpless, too.
* This is one of those predica-
* ments where to do nothing is
* the wisest coulee to take—and
* the hardest.
* I expect his wife does love
* him, but with a jealous, pos-
* sessive love that, sooner or
* later, may consume itself.
* It would be such a relief to
* let the boy know how well you
* understand, and assure him
* that his happiness is all that
* matters. Yet you can let him
* feel your sympathy without
* putting it into words. After all,
what could he do but apologize
for his wife? That would make
.a
* you more miserable than you
* are.
" As time goes on, he will, 1
* expect, resent his wife's un-
* kindness more and more deep-
'* ly. He may feel, one day, that
* he has to take a stand against
* it, declare his loyalty to his
* parents, and visit you as often
* as he wants to, even though he
* must come alone. But that day
* is not yet,
• Many a young wife has dug
'' the grave of her marriage
* through just such crude tactics.
* You would not want this to
happen as long as your son
* loves his wife; but how long
* can a wife hope to unsurp the
* place that her husband's family
* holds in his heart?
* I hope you two will defib-
* erately broaden your social life,
* and interest yourself in other
* activities that will occupy so
* much time that there will be
* little left to indulge the sadness
* you know now. (After all, you
* have each -ether.). „Hein _ aId
pray that you son's inherent
* goodness will end in• more hap-
* piness for him and more free-
* don to see him for you.

NOT SO FUNNY
A guest at Grossinger's con-

had a funny dream last night.
She dreamed she had married a

"my wife dreams that in the day-

Last Monday we had to call
a "vet" to one of our cows. She
was not exactly sick but so full'
anything could have happened.
Partner asked if the cow could
be given an injection of some
kind — something that would
work fast and do away with
"dreinching". "I can't handle the
critters like 1 used to," he said.
Doc shook his head. "Can't treat
a cow that way on account of
her having four stomachs."
(What a mercy people are not
like cows — some folk have
enough trouble with one
stomach !) So we were given
powder to be dissolved every six
hours and given as a drench; and
tablets, crushed and . dissolved
every, four hours, also as a
drench; and tablets, crushed and
dissolved every four hours, also
as a drench. "Start with the
powder right away," said Doc.
With what I thought was a flash
of near -genius. I interrupted— threatened shortage of water.

probably thinking he would just
show us how simple it is to
drench a cow—if you go at it the
right way—even with a big, fat
Durham.
Twisting Drowsey's head
4
around he proceeded to drench
her—a few swallows at a time.
Apparently the dose was pretty
pungent. Drowsey snuffed and
snorted and finally gave a mighty
cough. As a result it was Doc
and not the cow that got drench-
ed that time. Partner' and I
stood by and chuckled, remem-
bering how often through the
years the same thing had hap-
pened to us. But of course, our
time came again—but definitely.
To snake things a little easier we
invested in a "humbug." Farm-
ers will know what I mean but I
imagine that name will keep
other folk guessing. Between us
we have been drenching Drow-
sey all week—and the end of
this little job is not yet in sight.
Otherwork has had to be ar-
ranged in between rinses. Before
I could help with a W.I. banquet
the cow had to be dosed. And
I had to come home early for the
same reason. Tomorrow I am
supposed to go to Toronto on
business but it looks as if bossie
will keep me at home. Partner
says if Drowsey doestet come
back to her milk when she is
better, then we shall have to
ship her out. And then we shall
have reasonto know what has
been happening to the cattle

not every farm is so blessed.
When I get a letter from some-
one where farming is still done
the hard way it makes me feel
ashamed—as if in my column I
had been guilty of being "smug"
I hope no one ever does, or ever
will, think that. It is not so
very long since we had very few
conveniences ourselves—not so
long but what I can still remem-
ber filling coal -oil lamps and
trimming wicks that never would
burn straight. Far from being
smug I never cease to marvel
that we have managed to acquire
so many things in. our time to
make farm life more convenient
and comfortable. For those at
present less fortunate my feeling
is not pity but confidence that
with the passing years they, too,
will know greater comfort and
convenience in their homes.
Modern Etiquette
Q. What should two persons do
if introduced to each other for
the second time?
A. If the occasion is a formal
one, they both acknowledge the
introduction and do not attempt
any explanations that would be
embarrassing to the person mak-
ing the introduction. However,
if the.occasion is an informal
one, it is all right to recall the
previous meeting.
Q. At a widow's second mar-
„riage, Icer, -first husband being
deceased; should Sion 'invite the'
family of her first husband?
A. Yes, indeed, if the relation-
ship has always been pleasant.
Furthermore, these people
should make every effort to at-
tend.
Q. How do men and women
seat themselves in a restaurant
that has sofa seats?
A. The women always sit
against the wall (or partition),
and the men sit on the chairs
facing them.
Q. How does one properly re-
move the bones from a fish at
the dinner table?
A. Lift the end of the bone
with a fork, and then pinching
it between the fork and the
knife, lift it all the way out. In
some stubborn eases you may,
have to use the fingers, and this
is quite all right if you do not
allow the fingers to touch the
fish.
Q. When meeting college pro-
fessors socially—for instance, en-
tertaining them at tea--- how
does one address them, as "Pro-
fessor" or "Mister"?
A. If he bears the title of Doc-
tor, call him that; otherwise, call
him "Professor." If he is an in-
structor, call him "Mister."
Q. Is it all right to write invi-
tations to tea on one's visiting
card?
A. Yes, this is quite all right,.
Q. Are women supposed t.
wear gloves to a formal dinner!
A. Yes, and they take them oft
at the table—entirely off, It
improper to leave thele on the
arm, merely turning back the
hands.
