But don't you think the man is more often tempted by some evil- minded girl? I am speaking from experience, "This good-for-nothing girl has gone so far as to tell a once - perfect husband lies about his iwn daughter—and his children are old enough to understand. For two years she has made catty remarks about his `unhappy mar- riage,' even attacking his wife's reputation. No plan could be as un- happy as she has made him think he is. He is; not the first married man she has run after ... Now he is the very opposite of all he was before. Some men are easy victims. A wife may hang on :for the children's sake,. but the scar still lives in her heart. "The husband I describe is un- happy, too, but he can't seem to get rid of this low female She wants his big car and his money, and she is ruining him and his :Family to get it. If she would only let him alone, all would be for- gotten; for his wife cannot have Iron -on Design 1557 4 k& • No embroidery!

"—If that girl who wrote you, hoping to land the married man, would only get out of his life before it is too late! A READER" A WIFE'S LAMENT * How I wish this piece today " could catch your husband's eye'. " I cannot believe he would not * be moved by the heartache and • despair it reveals. Enmeshed * as he still is in this girl's emu- * tonal grasp, his very soul * urould be stirred by its 'dIs- * closure of the suffering. he has * brought upon his wife, so * ready to forgive, and his four * children shocked by their fa- * ther's betrayal. It should give * him the courage he needs to * forswear, once and forever, the • wiles of a corrupt schemer, * I have known some, and heard of other immoral females * who deliberately set out to " separate a wealthy, honorable * man from his wife, and with * just such trickery as this girl * has practised. Men are weak * against such tactics, yes, But * a man who for years has been * the ideal husband and father * must feel heartrending re- * morse. * No wonde.t' your husband is * unhappy! Let us hope that his * better nature will soon prevail, * and bring him back to those * who would still love him. •,4 * 4 DON'T RUST[ MARRIAGE "Dear Anne Hirst: We are both 18, and very much in love. I graduated last year, and live with my mother who has been ill for years. We are so anxious to marry! Shall we wait till he is through school—or get married, secretly, now? HOMELY" Marriage is a practical busi- * ness, my young friend. What- * ever would you two• live on, when your boy friend hasn't * even a job? You could not * desert your ailing mother, to * get a position, you know, even * if he would approve. Or, do * you think he would want to * live in your home? There are "' entirely too many "Ifs" to * consider. You, like so many young * girls today, must wait to marry " until your future shows a yeas- * enable security — as you must * wait, too, until your twe fam- * ilies feel you both are ready * to assume the grave responsi- * bilities which every marriage * brings with it. You will need " all their good will after. you * do marry, so don't take the * chance of forfeiting it now. * For the same reason, never * consider a secret marriage. It " would hurt your mother and * also his people. Your wedding * should be solemnized with all * the dignity it deserves; if it is • not, you will be sorry the rest * of your life. '' Young as you are, be patient. • Your day will come, and it * will be all the sweeter for the * waiting. Stow sad it is that many an erring husband does not think of his suffering family, or realize how eager they are to welcome him home again! ... Anne Hirst is here to be told your troubles. She will do her best to help you. Write her at Box 1, 123 Eigh- teenth St., New Toronto, Ont.

HRONICLES ��-a'nn. o1.T.P D C1.&tyk,z Remember I said last week we needed a spell of bright; warm sunshine? Well, we got it all right, didn't we — 90 de- grees of it? But it was far from being dry — just hot and humid In the stable we had to spread straw on the cement floor for safe walking, both for the sake of ourselves and the cattle. The cows were slithering around on the sweating cement and. Part- ner and I were wearing rubber, boots — and my boots were fleece -lined! Every place was so wet the milk -truck driver thought the water tank had been leaking. Naturally with the in- tense .heat and humidity the Milk,. flow 'went ,.down. The cows, hied stead of foraging, preferred to laze away the day under the trees along the banks of the creek. As for the hens it didn't take them long to realize there are cooler jobs than sitting in nest boxes to lay eggs. But. we cumin. get any bad storms nor flattening rain so we stili have a lot to be thankful for. The house was comparatively cool if the doors and windows were kept closed but since we can't stand an airless house some of them were left open, once the sun was off them. We still haven't started haying but now the weather has cleared it won't be long before the tractot and mower are out in the field. Betty and Joy were here un- til yesterday and poor Betty was finding her shoulder -to -waist cast decidedly warm and un- comfortable. One time she said — "What shall I ever do if e mosquito gets down under the cast?" The thought appalled me — I couldn't imagine enything worse. Both girls have now moved on to Deep River until the time comes for Betty to have the cast removed. Betty has not been the only casualty around here. We nearly lost Mitchie-White. For twenty- four hours he had not been seen at all. Eventually we found hire, under the fanning mill, almost too weak to move. I picked the poor thing up and he just sort of whimpered in my arms, ob- viously in path. At the house he ' would neither eat nor drink and , lay stretched out on a chair cushion all night, We thought he would surely be dead by mor:n- ing but fortunately he w:ls not. Rallying all the reserve strength of his nine lives he gradually be- gan to eat and drink and is now almost recovered. We think be must have eaten mice or a rat that had been poisoned with warfarin, Partner hasn't put poison out for over a year but • there is still concealed bait around for the benefit of stray rats that might come for a visit, We understand that .warfarin - brings on internal haemorrhage which naturally results in sud- den weakness, and in most :cases, death. Our "vet' said there was nothing we could do for Olitchie except feed him all the cat's meat and milk he would drink - and hope for *the best.

It certainly lowered the price — a reduction of 20t a quart in one day. It is also a goon wild strawberry season — if or.e had time and energy to pick them or a few children around who would enjoy a tramp to the edge of the bush where the berries are at their best; and afterwards a dip in the creek and a picnic lunch. ,Bit those days•; belong to the past. Even if there were chil- dren , .here now that probably wouldn't be their idea of pleas- ure. So I imagine a greater♦, part irk the wild-strawberrycrop will be left to the birds to devour ' tinrithotlt let or hindrance. Speaking of "devourlt.g" was there -ever a greater number, or a greater variety, of ctevour- e:derad'insects than we have at the present tine:? -I think the `:'wretched things must • surely thrive on insecticides. Me aster plants 'have disappeared leaf_ by leaf, even though ;I dusted them with bug death. Hardy zinnias have also been affected anct some of the spider plants ,are having a hard time to survive. Probably my main trouble is that a big field of hay is immediately be-, hind the flower beds so all the red spiders, spittle bugs, cut- worms and other insects come over the hedge in search of more succulent feed than overgrown alfalfa. But apparently we have missed out on one kind of in- sect. One place in town lovely, healthy little spider plants had been set out. In a few days some kind of bug attacked the roots — not cut -worm — and the plants just withered and died. That variety of insect has not yet come our way. Seems to me to grow a good garden requires unlimited time, patience and constant vigilance, otherwise the insects move in and take over. However, One thing we have tried with good success. A wide- ly advertised soil conditioner -- guaranteed to loosen up the ' Hardest clay. It does just that. Even a policeman can make a mistake. On March 30th of this ;.year, traffic was held up outside :21+iombasa, East Africa, for three hours by a rampaging bull buf- falo. A load of shot from an ,Arab's 100 -year-old m u. s k et i.brought the animal to its knees, miid a European policeman ar- ved to finish it off. He fired, jinni down went the Arab, shot the leg. A striking and versatile summer style with many qualities. Chalk: white forms the background for black polka dots on the cool acetate fabric cut on slim flattering lines. The new stole jacket and collar are in black linen with red trim, Guaranteed to keels its fresh loveliness through innumerable hand washings.
