"Dear Anne Hirst: I believed an
a married man once, and fell in
love . . When he found how
much he had hurt me, he didn't
have time even to comfort me.
1 was decent and respectable, and
all he did was to make me ;heap.
What do men like this deserve?
"Please write a good, strong
article criticizing married men
for starting these affairs.

IT TAKES TWO
* No married man who tries
* to entice a girl into an affair
* can succeed unless she eon-
* sents. He usually wins by
* battery, complains that his
* wife does not understand him
* (or he has fallen out of love
* with her) and he swears he has
* never cared for any other
.* woman as he cares for the girl.
* But it cannot result in her be-
* ing "cheap" without her yield
-
ing.
* You hate this man because
* you feel he made you the vic-
w;; tim of his blandishments. You
* yielded, though you knew it
* was wrong. How couldy ou
* have been so gullible as to
* trust a man who was betray-
* ing his wife? Dishonor was in
* him. Why did you believe he
* would be more loyal to you
* than to the woman he promis-
* ed to cherish for the rest of
* his life—who by all the moral
* laws had a claim on his fidel-
* ity?
* Why allow this bitter anger
* to consume you? Instead of
* harboring such destructive
* thoughts, you should admit
* your own guilt, and regret you
* were such a fool as to be taken
* in by the husband of another
* woman.
* You say you have read this
* column for some time. You
* must have found in it, over and
* over again, the heartbreaking
* stories of other girls whose
* faith was betrayed. Presumab-
* ly, like many of them. you
* thought you really loved the
* man, and were convinced that
* your love was returned. Now
a that you are left flat, why not
*lock the door on the conse-
* quences of your folly?
* It is sad that you did not an-
* ticipate the usual finale, and
* end the affair yourself.
* Any married man who tries
* to win a girl is a despicable
character. Occasionally, the
love he declares is an honest
• love; but unless he knows he
* can fulfill the promises he
a makes to her, the decent thing
• is to withdraw, and leave her
• free to rise from the ashes of
* her memories and start a new
? and better life.
• Perhaps this is what the man
* has done. At any rate, if he
* has any decency in him, he is
* suffering now for the grief he
* caused you. So why hate him?
"Rather hate yourself for being
so weak; admit your own re-
* sponsibility, and go on, a
• wiser girl, from now on.
* One other truth: If you had
* really Ioved him, you would
* wish him well, despite your
* present anguish.
Affairs with married ,nail al-
most invariably result in the
girl's anguish and humiliation.
Be warned. Ann Hirst sympa-
thizes, and will help you get back

We feel much happier now
than we did a week ago — hap-
pier because one big field of hay
has been baled and most of the
bales stacked away in the barn.
Of course it was not first quality
hay -- although there was never
a better field — but hay that is
soaked and then bleached soon
deteriorates. However, what it
lacked in quality was made up
for in quantity. Partner said he
'never handled such heavy bales.
Come on in .. , the wafer's finel
It is a dull, grey 'morning right
now, and the robins are singing,
so 1 imagine we shall get more
rain before the field is finished.
Ever noticed how the robins sing
before a rain? We shall be glad
to have all the hay off the field
so the second crop can have a
chance to grow -- and here's
hoping we have better weather
to take it 01T.
While all the hay was still out
something rather strange hap-
pened around here. One night,
while Partner was milking, I
drove over to the next conces-
sion for some strawberries that
had been ordered. On the way
home it began to rain. Before I
had the car in the garage it was
raining heavily and I had to
make a quick run from the driv-
ing -shed to the house. The rain
pelted down for about ten min-
utes. But it didn't rain at the
barn! Partner was halfway to
the house before he noticed his
boots getting wet; He could hard-
ly believe the evidence of his
own eyes We have often heard
of one farm getting rain, and
maybe the farm across thr road
not getting it, but that was our
first experience of a sharp divid-
ing line on own. property.
Well, one has only to look
around the country these days
to realize the season is well on
its way. Wheat is ripening fast
-- and wheat is the beginning of
the end. insofar as the harvest
is concerned. Pretty soon we
shall be looking around and
wondering where the summon
has gone to. Don't we always do
that, year after year? But Ido
hope when it comes to August 21,
those of us who have tickets for
"Canada Day" will have nothing
come up to prevent our using
them; and if we start planning
now maybe we are not as likely
to be disappointed. Of course 1
am referring to the Women's In-
stitute pageant that is being
staged in Toronto for the Asso-
ciated Country Won of the
"World. From a _ . utrtr, t. as have
come my way this tren:.ond
undertaking is now well and
way. Ticketsv are selling like h
cakes. Chartered busses nave
ready been spoken for. So n
it only remains for farm worn
to make their own individ
plans. For goodness 'sake do
take the attitude that the lat
part of August' is a busy ti
and that you probably won't
able to take a day off anyw
You certainly won't if you a
cept it as a foregone conclusio
You know, staying home b
comes a habit — just as runni
around too much also becom
a habit,. And it is usually
woman who is to blame, Yo
can't expect a busy farmer
keep track of Institute and W.
meetings. So if his wife st
home he thinks it is because sh
doesn't want to go. How man
farmers know anything Owthis big event coming up i
August? Well, Mr. Farmer,
you should happen to read th
column, and your over-conscien
tious wife hasn't told you tha
she would like to be away o
August 21, then I'm telling yo
now. Just ask her about it
what is more give her a. littl
shove if necessary. If she is to
late to get a ticket for the 21s
then she could still take in th
Pageant on the 22nd. This oppor
tunity may not occur again f
possibly another fifteen years.
And while we are on the sub-
ject of the Pageant have you any
old pioneer relics stowed away
in the attic? If so get them out of
mothballs because t h e W. I.
would like to borrow them,
whether you are an Institute
member or not. An historical
event of this magnitude 'requires
a lot of antiques so the W. L is
asking for all kinds of old-time
clothing — for men and women
too, also uniforms of the fight-
ing forces for any period up to
1929. Indian dress and headgear
is also required, as are black
suits, hats and bonnets of the
Mennonites. The pageant also
needs spinning wheels, churns,
cradles, old fashioned farm im-
plements, powder horns and lan-
terns. There is a collection centre
in Toronto and all the loaned
articles will be treated with care
and returned to their owners
after the pageant. Perhaps each
branch could canvass its mem-
bers and send in a collection as
representatives of their own par-
ticular branch. I have been in
many ,homes where they have
some wonderful relics of the
past. I am sure great -grandma
and great -grandpa would be
bully honoured if; their could
ow their homespun garments and 'pioneer farm implements are
helping to reveal the past to our
present generation.

How You Can Keep
White Nylon WHITE
Summer means more white
garments in the laundry and
greater washing care. Since white
is the Most fragile color to main-
tain, improper laundering of any
white fabric soon will result in
discoloration. Despite its well-
known washing ease, white nylon
is no exception.
Whenever white nylon garm-
ents lose their original gleam
and become slightly yellow or
grey, laundry methods should be
examined.
White nylon clothing should be
washed frequently in creamy
suds and water hot enough to
remove dirt thoroughly. If a
water softener or a detergent
containing one hasn't been used
in an area where the water is
hard, then the soap curds may
be responsible for the off-white
shade. The rule of washing color-
ed and white garments separ-
ately also applies to nylon, as it
to tends to pick up dyes readily.
As nylon is strong even when
wet, clothing can be washed vig-
orously when necessary. Nylon
garments can be put in the wash-
ing machine provided seams and
trimmings are securely stitched
and in no danger of fraying or
tearing. To avoid unnecessary
wrinkling, squeeze water out by
hand instead of using the wring-
er or spin drier. It is, of course,
wiser to wash sweaters, stockings
and socks by hand.
Like other white fabrics, nylon
garments require thorough rins-
ing. A single rinsing will not re-
move all soap from shampooed
hair, nor is it enough for white
nylon. Two rinsings in clear,
warm water are considered a
minimum.
Strong bleaches should be
avoided as they will weaken ny-
lon as much as any other fibre.
They should be used carefully
when necessary, following direc-
tions for cotton if none are given
for nylon. There are whitening
agents compounded to improve
the appearance of garments that
have been worn many times and
have become slightly discolored.
When washing tricot shirts and
blouses, extra soiled collars and
cuffs can be rubbed briskly with
a cellulose sponge. Ironing can
be skipped altogether by hanging
them to drip-dry on a hanger
without squeezing out the water.
BRIDAL ERROR
A newly -married society girl
was determined to prove to her
husband what an accomplished
cook she was, and on the ser-
vant's day off, set about cooking
a chicken for his dinner. She
plucked the fowl carefully, ar-
ranged it neatly in a pot, and put
it in the oven.
Two hours later she heard a
loud banging on the oven door,
Investigation proved that the
disturbance was being made by
the chicken. "Lady," it cried
piteously, "either give me back
my feathers or turn on the gas.
I'm freezing to death in this
oven.,'
Link With Past
Romantic link with one of tie
most fascinating eras of the Bri-
tish stage, is revealed by the
news that Edward Gordon Craig,
son of Ellen Terry, is still alive
and living quietly in a boarding
house at Vence,' a small town
perched in the hills behind Nice.
He is eighty-one and has not
been in England since 1951. He
says he is too old to return
now. But he treasures memories
of his illustrious mother — the
actress who for years was the
English stage's First Lady
He likes to recall that she was
a good cook. "How she couldi
cook an apple tart, and now ae-
licious the crust was!" he says.
Ellen Terry played her first
stage part at the age of eight,
receiving 15s. a week. It was a
small part in "The Winter's Tale"
and she played it for 102 per-
formances, never being absent.
