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.

"Thank You!" 'Dear Anne Hirst: Three years ago, when I was in love with a married man, I wrote you. You told me what to do—and at this late day, I write to thank you. "I event completely haywire.

My husband learned about ' it, and was so patient, But I must have hurt him terribly .. "You won't remember me but 1 took your advice, and it work- ed ...

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, Here' Read Relief for ARTHRITIC RHEUMATI( PAINS -STIFFNESS W. K.

Quite a number, I hope, as it vies . well worth going to A friend and I took time off last Friday to visit Toronto,—and we had quite a day. Went by early morning train, did a bit. 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.

PINEX FOR CHILDREN'S 'COLIO 6 ISM 0.,.:1052 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.

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.

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.
