"Dear Anne Hirst: My husband
has been ill for a long time. I've
taken care of him, also my chil-
dren, and it keeps me going from
morning to night. My problem is
his mother.
"She stays with us occasional-
ly. Then she visits his brothers
and sisters — and tells untruths
about me, charging me with
things I never said ... I like all
his family; they have done so
much to help out, and are so kind
and thoughtful. I'm afraid they
will take their mother's word be-
fore mine. What am I to do?
"I've always been nice to her.
and spoken well of her ... I've
said nothing about al] this, for
I felt by ignoring it she might
stop her childishness. She hasn't
yet. I feel she is being really
cruel; I have so much worry and
so much work, this just adds to
my burdens.

Answer To Many
Problems — Lemons!
You'd be surprised how often
a lemon is the answer to little
problems that crop up in and
around the nome — quite apart
from all the tunes you add it to
a recipe, sprinkle it over a piece
of fish, or use it as a rinse after
a shampoo.
Did you know that after a busy
afternoon's shopping there's no
more sqothing balm for aching
feet than bathing thein in tepid
water with a tablespoon of lem-
or juice and a little alcohol?
If corns are the trouble a.
lemon will do the trick again. Tie
a small piece of the fruit on the
corn for five nights. Then soak
the foot in warns water and the
corn can be easily removed.
Don't leave the soft skin un-
protected, or another corn :might
grow. Bind over it a piece of
cotton wool with "Vaseline."
Ii a fishbone sticks in some-
one's throat and all the back-slap-
ping and pieces of dry bread fail
to dislodge it, feed the sufferer
with a piece of lemon. It will
get rid of it immediately.
Glazed tiles in the bathroom or
round the fireplace which have
taken on disfiguring marks can be
made to glisten by rubbing over
with cut leinon. Leave for fifteen
minutes and then polish with a
soft duster.
Frost people know that a lem-
on in hot water is one of the
finest cures when there is a cold
in the ofliing, but it should be
borne in mind that the same bev-
erage is excellent for biliousness
or a headache.
Lemons have been used as a
cure for baldness. A little juice
is squeezed onto the hand and
massaged into the scalp.
And, finally, ladies, a little of
the juice on your hands applied
to your hair while still wet from
the final rinse is said to surpass
inany a made-up setting lotion.
Yes, the answer is undoubtedly
a lemon—more often than you
might have guessed,

readers of this column went-. to
the International Hobby Show

of shopping before the • crowds
arrived, and then on to the..Coli-
s::um. It was wonderful finding
ell the exhibits in one building
—so much easier on the 'feet. .
Even at that by 2 p.m. we were
glad to sit ixt at Mrs. Aitkin's
Cooking School and rest a bit.
Now what shall I tell you
about first? Naturally, if you
were there you don't need me
to tell you about anything. But
it you were not there you might'
like to know nay impressions of
this Hobby Show.
Leathercraft . everything
from wallets to pictures, in tool-
ed or carved leather. The pic-
tures were a new departure and
were most attractive. And there
were boxes et carved leather,
book covers, brief cases, over-
night cases and scores of smaller
articles. There was also a lady's
handbag, beanlifully tooled, done
by a man completely blind.
Paintings . all kinds of them
— in oils and water-colours —
portraits, scenery and still life.
We didn't see many of the futur-
istic variety. There were pic-
tures by Winston Churchill and
Viscount Alexander, our former
Governor - General. Churchill's'
were mostly of quiet, natural .
scenery—one could easily WA-
gine
itifagine how it rested his weary
mind to paint them. Alexander's
had more action --and in our,
humble opinion, they were the
better pictures,
Pottery . . obviously art from
the potter's wheel is far froian
dying out, There were several
wonderful displays.
Rugs ... hooked and braided—
or wool and rags; beautiful de-
signs and shading; What hours
of close work were involved in
Ilse making.
Quilts and crocheted table-
cloths. Not too many of either
but the work was of the best.

Needlepoint and petit point
a marvellous exhibit. The
first thing that caught my eye
was "Queen Mary's Carpet" ---
but I knew it couldn't be. Upon
inquiry we were told that when
the original sheen Mary carpet
was on display at the C.N.E. two
years ago, a group of enterpris-
ing ladies studied it vers closely.
Then they bought a coloured
photograph of the carpet, and, by
means of a magnifying glass cop-
ied it on canvas, square by
square. Quite an ingenious under-
taking. But there was this dif-
ference between the original car-
pet 'and the copy. In the copy
the background is all one colour
(you remember, owing to war-
time difficulties ' Queen Mary
could not always match her back-
ground colours). And the copy
also has all the designs going one
way. Queen Nlary, if you remem-
ber, had her squares in reverse
from the centre of the rug.
At this same exhibit there was
a fascinating display of pictures
in petit-point—large and small,
even down the size of ear -rings
and cameo brooches. And all this
work was done by a group of ten
women in the Mount Pleasant
district of Toronto,
Lambert Lodgge ... a collec-
tion of work done by the aged at
Lambert Lodge. This was more
than an exhibit—it was tangible
proof of happy hours of occupa-
tion by busy fingers which Must
automatically have brought peace
of mind to the workers, We all
need to remember that something
to occupy the hands is fundamen-
tal to contentment in old age.
Shell work ... several exhibits
of this particular craft and much
of it very dainty and original—
particularly the pictures, dont
with the tiniest of shells.
Artificial flowers .. in cro-
chet, wax and nylon. + Very nice
indeed. Oh yes, and I every
found pillow lace at the Danish
exhibit.

collections, costume jewellery,
African violets, rabbits, hamsters

Says That Women Should Wait On ens
Fellows!. She's Got The Right idea!
Here at last is a fresh slant on
a film star's success story: nobody
discovered Corinne Calvet except
herself.
Two o'clock one morning she
woke up and decided that she
intuit become an actress. Picking
up a 'phone book, she thumbed
through it until she came to the
name of director Marc Allegret.
She rang up there and then and
bullied him into giving her an
audition, Allegret offered her a
role in his next picture, but as it
wasn't starting for several weeks
and Corinne didn't feel like wait-
ing—she turned him down.
Calling on another director, she
persuaded him to use her right
away. The following week she
was before the cameras. If it
so'iuicls too easy, remember that
it all happened in Paris.
For the last five years Corinne
Calvet has been in Hollywood.
She is married to American actor
John Bromfield, and says with
pride that she now lives like an
American and wants to think like
one. But some of the remarks
she makes show that she is still
a Frenchwoman at heart:
"A French girl would never
consider asking her husband to
wash the dishes. Waiting on a
snail is a woman's job. She should
let him know that it is hex
privilege and her -happiness to
care for him."
"Few inn complain of ton
much love."
"Jealousy is s t u p i d i t y. In
Europe, jealousy is considered an
illness that must be treated by a
doctor."
To meet , Corinne Calvet is a
livelsr, vivacious girl with the
Continental habit of clutching
your arni when she speaks a
sudden thought. Her favourite
actor is Donald Duck, and her
hobby is fishing.
Hollywood can probably be
criticised for treating her too
casually. She has been restricted
in the main to farces and light
comedies, • although her appear-
ances in Danny Kaye's "On the
Riviera" and the current remake
work, model trains and dolls—
impossible to mention then all
in detail—but they were there,
from England and Europe, Scan-
dinavia •and Asia. And if this
Bobby Show was a brain -child
from the fertile mind of Kate
Aitkins then we owe her a debt
of gratitude. This first show, was
good but it is my guess that next
year it will be "bigger and better
than ever.''
Leaving the Ciloseum we came
through a district that was like
a forest of television aerials, and
I wondered how much handicraft
was done in horns where there
was a television set—and if there
was any danger of television kill-
ing creative art. Personally I
don't think, where a hobby has
already been developed, it will
do much harm, but it may dis-
courage young folk from develop=
ing along the same lines.

she is by no means neglected.
A few months ago she sued Zee
Zsa Gabor for one million datlarna
on the grounds that she had been
slandered. Apparently M iss Gabor
alleged that Miss. Calvet was ti
Cockney, acid not, a dative o
France.
But this incident, as one United
States columnist so boldly put ife
"had all the earmarks of a sue••
cessf,ttl publicity stunt."
Miss Calvet, by the way, tool:
her name from a bottle of Calvet
wine. Tier father, Pierre Dibos, ea.
French businessman, didn't warm:
her to use the family name until
she had proved herself to be fa
success.
Last year he wrote to her,
saying how proud he was, and
that he'd be happy if she'd retict't
to being a Dibos again. "But i[
had to tel] him," said Corinne,
"that people know me as Calvet
and I can't change it: The studios
wouldn't let me."
Not only is she sticking to the
name of Calvet, but since marry-
ing
arrying John Bromfield she has be-
come a naturalised American.
"And I'm duly qualified." she
told the with a twinkle in her
eye. "I'm so busy now that I hard-
