I have joined clubs and organi- zations, but it is lonely with no future to plan for with someone. I am interested in music, which helps a good deal, and I love to cook. But I feel strange with married couples I have known, for the adjustment is difficult. "I've known a well-educated man who is separated from his wife. For three years he has talked of getting a divorce, but it has not yet happened, I hear his wife has found someone else, and now he pays more attention to me. Should 1 play second fid- dle?" CONFUSED What little you say about this man gives the idea that he seems to be more concerned * with his own welfare than with yours. Do you really love him? * Many a divorcee finds her 4' new life an emotional as well * as a social problem. It takes * a long while to adjust one's * self. For even an unfortunate * marriage furnishes some com- panionship, if only in its fric- tions. You need to bolster * your selfsconfidence. Face the " future bravely, and make the *• most of outside interests to fill 4the void. Do you and the boys attend * church regularly? Are you an active church member? Your musical talents might be used * there, and you would find the contribution spiritually help- ful, Have you thought of join- ing a local musical group, or * taking on a few young pupils? " That might balance your club " associations nicely. * Try to overcome feeling * strange with the mars ie d * couples you know. Divorcees * are net new to them, and with 4 your experience. you could • "' share mutual problems that in- " duce friendships. Don't in- dulge in the inclination to 4 stand them off. These first months are the • hardest. Mingle more with * people, with friendliness and * you will find your place. AS * your boys grow older they " will need more and more the affectionate understanding you * can give them. You owe it to * them — broaden your interests * outside the home. and be an " alert and enthusiastic partici- * pant A divorced wife, with o.r with- out ehildren, may not find her new life meets her expectations, Anne Hirst's sympathy, her ex- perience and her observation, can be helpful.

The great outdoors is full of promise after a wonderful rain . . now • all we have to do is keep pace with it! We also have with us daylight-saving time — a help or a hindrance; according to what we make of it. In haying time it is undoubtedly a • hin- drance to farmers but right now I can't see that it makes much difference one way or another. Another unfailing sign of spring. . . the swallows are back to the barn — or rather one swal- low. has returned. Partner -says the same thing happens every spring—he is milking, hears a little chirp now and then, looks up and sees one little swallow, flying in and out, first to one beam and then another. This one reconnoitering swallow s t a y s around for a day or two and then disappears. But eventually it returns in company with its brothers and sisters, its cousins and its aunts. Love -making is soon underway and then comes the serious business of setting up house and raising a family. Life has -few complications for the swallow Jamily — their swift flight and the location of their nests defies even the barnyard cat — perhaps that is why Shakespeare spoke of them as symbolic of hope — "True hope is swift, and flies with wal- low's wings." But the swallows are not the only ones around here with plans for setting up house. Son Bob is doing the same thing — only, unlike the swallows, he is batch- ing it, at least for the present, He has .a nice. little bungalow. on the outskirts of Oakville, only a few hundred yards from the construction plant where he worke, which means saving time and gas that would ordinarily be used if he were commuting 'from here. Such a nice little bungalow, four rooms and a bathroom and a full-size base.. ment. The ground -floor front windows look out across a pas- ture field where there are sev- eral lovely big trees; beyond that stretches the Queen Elizabeth Way with its constantly ntoving traffic. But the kitchen and Bob's bedroom have quite a different outlook, which Bob finds rathet amusing — that is, a view of thr LOGY, 1.1STLESS OUT OF LOVE WT',' LIFE?

"The flowers that bloom in the spring, tra-la-la, have nothing to do with the case" — not from the rear view of Bob's little house. There are only five other houses in the immediate vicinity so the district is not overcrowded . as yet. We, too, have 'been moving house but only within our own four walls. We bought an extra piece of new bedroom furniture and removed some .of the old. 1 shifted and rearranged the re - rosining furniture three times on three different days before I was satisfied with the result.

My only tool was a screwdriver, yet, inside of thirty minutes, I had all the legs oil, also the extension slides and the table top in two sec- ft tions. I wished I had looked at it properly years ago. Bob took the table away knocked down, Now he can re -finish it, reassem- ble it as one big table or make it into two ,Smaller ones — and he thinks the surplus legs can be cut down to make bases for table tamps. So, if you people have any old furniture that can do with a little re:modelling you will probably find it can be taken apart just as easily as this table of ours. Or give it away and let someone else have the fern and satisfaction of working on it. Through the years, on farms in particular, we accumulate a lot of stuff that might just as well be shared with the younger onee as they leave the old place to make homes for themselves. Thank you, P. W. for your kind words — I am glad you were able to assure English readers that Ginger Farm actually does exist —and I am also glad to know it is read and liked in the Old Cou ntry. HOW CAN 1? Q.
