dy Though the letter that in-
* spired this piece today comes
' from a disgusted husband, my
*' reply is aimed at his wife's
• mother, who, he says, follows
• this column. In any disagree-
s meat, his young wife goes
e crying to her mother, and
* dashes back with, "Mom says
* I was perfectly right!"
e When will mothers let their
married children settle their
* own affairs?
"I've had about all I can take,
Anne Hirst," writes the husband.
`We've ben married less than a
year. As you often say, differ-
ences are bound to arise. In-
stead of discussing them ration-
ally, my wife runs to her mother
(who lives near) and cries on her
shoulder. I've found that she
rnisrepresents situations. Of
course her mother sympathizes
so it is I who am always wrong.
it things continue like this, our
marriage is never going to work
out. —Thought I know she loves
rine, and I love her.

SHALL THEY MOVE?
"I know we could settle things
ourselves, but my wife will not
face any issue; she runs out on
me. The arguments are never
important, but you know a
couple must reconcile newly
found differences if they are to
get along. Before we married,
she gave no sign of this infantil-
ism, or if she did I was too much
in love to see it.
"My father-in-law is my pal.
but his wife has him under her
thumb, too.
"I have an offer of another po-
sition 300 miles away, and thought
I'd rather stay here where I have
more security, I'm tempted to
move. What do you think?"
A MOTHER'S JOB
* When a girl marries, she
* leaves the house where she
* was a beloved daughter, and
* becomes .a wife. She and her
* husband are a team against
* the world. They meet the
* problems of early marriage
* that always arise, and out of
* their love they learn to corn-
* promise and get along together.
* By their own efforts, they make
• their marriage a beautiful ex-
* perience, or they let it fall.
* What chance has the team to
* win if a mother will not let
hoer daughter go? Who says, in
* effect, "Bring your troubles
* to me; I'll tell you what to do!"
* Instead of cutting the silver
* cord she tightens it, until the
* young wife, forgetting her first
* loyalty belongs to her husband,.
* blindly leans on her mother—
* which is exactly what that
* mother intends her to do.
* The wise parent says, "You
* are a wife now. You and your
*husband will have your
* troubles, but don't come whin-
* ing to me. Face them, and
* work them out together. That
* is marriage, and I expect you
* to stay 'married the rest of
* your life."
TO HER MOTHER:
m' In spite of your actions, E
* alp sure you want your daugh-
* ter to be happy. Her happi-
* ness depends on her getting
* along with her husband. You
* know little of men if you be-
* lieve this one is going to put
* up withyour childishness for-
• ever; first thing yotf know, she
* will be home again—and if
* that is what you want, you
* couldn't choose a better course
* than the one you are pursuing.
* Rememberthat she loves her
* husband, and would be miser-
* able away from him. Make her
* stand on her own feet; refuse
* to listen to her complaints.
* and tell her so. Otherwise, she
* will blame you for the failure
* of her marriage. That, I am
* sure, you could not take.
* * *
it .you married a cry-baby,

Friday, August 21, 1053 was
a day that will long be remem-
bered by members of the Wo-
men's Institute in Canada and,
we hope, by women from other
countries who were also present
in Toronto at that time, It was
"Canada Day," the day which
featured the pageant "Dominion
of Destiny" presented by .,,the
Federated Women's Institutes of
Canada.
Before noon bus -loads of W. I.
members began arriving in
Toronto. They came from every
part of Ontario, and from .Quebec
and across the Border to see this
action -story of Canada'shistory
which came as grand climax to
the eleven -day Conference of
the Associated Country Women.
of the World.
Twelve thousand women took
their seats in the Maple .Leal
Gardens . Friday night. M.eny of
them were also present in the
afternoon to hear the addresses.
The chairman, of course. was
Mrs. Hugh Summers, The speak-
er the Hon. Stuart Gerson, Min-
ister of Justice, Canada, whc o
eiaily opened the progranune, ht
is impossible, in this column, to
even give you a gist of the
speeches, which included greet-
ings from delegates of evety na-
tion represented at the Confer-
ence. You have probably been
following the proceedings by ra-
dio, television and press so I
will confine myself to interpret-
ing what I think was the atmo-
sphere" of the conference
I was speaking to many dele-
gates from other countries, and
from different parts of Canada
and they all said the same thing
— "We are having a wonoerful
time — the kindness and hospi-
tality we findeverywhere as mar-.
vellous." But this consideration
was not one-sided. Visiting dele-
gates returned kindness for kind-
ness by patiently answering the
many questions that were put
to them. But they also, asked
many questions about Canada.
Even from the U. S. came many
inquiries with the repeated re-
mark - "We had no idea Can-
ada was like this!"
However, the answer to many
of the inquiries was dramatically
given in the pageant itself as the
pages of history were turned
back and Canada's destiny re-
vealed in story and song.
One end of the arena was
shown as a rural setting — a
map of Canada against a back-
ground of beautiful evergreens,
particularly appropriate tor the
colourful and historic scenes that
were presented in proper se-
quence. The audience was thrill-
ed with the tribal costunies and
war -dance of the Indians. Then
came the Vikings, the explorers,
adventurers, priests and traders.
Cartier, Hudson, Champlain, La
Salle, Frontenac and Madeliene
de Versheres were realistically
portrayed. Scenes illustrating the
growth of Canada; the War of
1812; the corning of the United
Empire Loyalists, and scenes
typical of the
yp pioneer period up
to Confederation. Then came the
development of the country in
ways which today we take so
much for granted. The establish-
ment of the R.C.M.P., the build-
ing of the C.Iy.R,, the organiza-
tion of the W. I. at Stoney Creek;
development of culture arid, the
vrogress of art and education'

And so we came to the shadows
•
cast by two world wars: to the
rumble of guns and the sound of
marching feet. And then the.
'valiant attempt of peace -loving
peoples to form the nucleus of
the United Nations. The Peace
Bridge, symbolic of so many
miles of . undefended border be-
"tween the U.S.A. and •.lanada.
To visitors from foreign coun-
tries this was one of the amaz-
ing highlights of their trip Said
• a delegate from Europe — "But
do you actually mean you have
an entirely undefended border
— no armed guardsanywhere
at all?" It was explained to her
that for extended visits trom one
country to another identification
was necessary; there were also
trade restrictions and custom
regulations respected by both
countries but they were certain-
ly not enforced by armed guards
on either side. "Wonderful — ale
most unbelievable!" exclaimed
the European delegate.
The last scene of the pageant,
previou r to the finale, was a
tribute io the Coronation of Eli-
zabeth II., Queen of Great Bei-'
tain and of Canada. In the finale
we saw again the many organi-
atjons, that had . taken part in
the pageant and to whom Canada
owes so much — the Red Cross,
Girl Guides and Boy Scouts, the
Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. the
"Mounties" .and a host of others.
And so a heart-warming, soul -
stirring day came to a close, and
12,000 women left -the Gardens
in search of buses, trains, planes
and cars to carry them home, and
maybe in the heart of each one
there came a sense of pride — of
National pride — as thro'lgh the
Medium of this great pageant
came the realization that Can-
ada is a wonderful country; and
to be a Canadian is a definite
privilege but a privilege that
carries with it obligations.
Quem Ciiected
Stray Horseshoes
That the late Queen Mary was
an ardent and enthusiastic col-
lector is well known; her expert
knowledge- and appreciation of
antique furniture and china were
warmly appraised by connois-
seurs.
Yet, in her younger days, Her
Majesty .found an irresistible at-
traction in a most unusual and
odd item. When horses were a
common sight, ambling or jog -
trotting along the roads, Queen
Mary would seldom pass a
"thrown" horseshoe without
stopping to pick it up. On nu-
merous occasions she would halt
her carriage to acquire a cast
horseshoe that her keen eyes had
'noticed lying in the roadway.
This was one of the few super-
stitions Her Majesty would ob-
serve, writes Marguerite D. Pea-
cocke in • her. . entertaining and
beautifully illustrated book,
"Queen Mary -Her Life and,
Times". -
In te small family -room at
Sandringham were to be found
quite .a number of horseshoes,
each carefully labelled and re-
cording - the place where it was
foundlabels bearing place-
names as far apart as Salisbury
Plain and Canada. '

When Bees Held Up
An Adv roO g Army
It is difficult to imagine any-
thing more vulnerable than a
naked man attacked by bees.
That was almost the predica-
ment of the passengers of the
liner Kenya when 25,000 bees
cleared the decks and zoomed
over the swimming pool, sting-
ing—as one report has it—"ex-
posed parts." Eventually the bees
congregated in one corner of the
bath, giving the crew time to
couple fire hoses and sweep
them into the water.
Few things are more terrify-
ing than a mass -attack by bees.
Animals usually panic when
attacked by bees. Some time
ago four horses dragging a
threshing machine were badly
stung. They ran in all directions
till they fell dead from exhaus-
tion. And in 1930 bees held up
a train at Amershaf. They drove
the driver and fireman from the
engine, invaded carriages su that
people could neither enter nor
leave, and 'dislocated the entire
service until enticed back into
the hive. ,
In 1914 hundreds of swarms of
bees in Tanganyika attacked an
advancing British army and
stung the troops, who were forc-
ed to lie down to protect them-
selves, and stampeded horses,
mules and oxen.
Marred 14 TI les
The neighbours always said
that pretty, eighteen -yeas° -old
Sibbie Goodwin was blessed
with an ageless kind of beauty
Yet, of those who heard !ler first
shyly whispered "I will," few' -
ever . dreamed that Sibbie would-
utter those words fourteen times.
Fourteen marriages to eleven
different men is the breathtaking
record of Mrs. Charles Wilson,
of. Hugo, Oklahoma. To -day, a
seventy -seven-year-old grand-
mother, she finds it difficult to
recall all her husbands by name,
and is not sure of the order in
whichthey came. Three of
thein she married twice.
One stayed only a day— "He
ate breakfast and left without
even offering to help me with
the dishes," says Mrs. Wilson.
Another attempt at wedded bliss
crashed, she remembers, be-
cause her husband, a preacher,
could not stick to the. truth.
Now Cupid's arrow has struck
again. "I inn a fool about Charlie,"
smiles Mrs. Wilson of her lanky,
white-haired husband No. 14 add-
ing with just a suspicion of
weariness: "And this is my last
marriage. He is the best man
I ever knew."
Sibbie should know, for it was
only last year that she divorced
him,
HIS WISH
A California picture exhibitor
installed a wishing well in the
lobby to amuse children who
were waiting to get in. He hasti-
ly removedit after the first day.
however, when an irate adult
strode out of the theatre, - drop-
ped a penny in the wishing well,
and said very loudly, "I wish I
hadn't seen the • picture they're
running here this week."
1l Sales anship
Jim Hack, top executive for
the New York Life Insurance
Company, told a reporter how he
sold his first five -figure policy
years ago. The prospect was a
t 0 u g h, hard -to -convince sales
manager. Hack wangled an inter-
view, and mumbled, "You don't
want any life insurance, do
you?" "You're darn right 1
don't," roared the sales manager"
but as Hack started inching to-
ward the door, he added, "Come
back dere, young fellow. It's my
job to train salesmen at this
plant and I want to tell you
you're about the worst excuse
for a salesman that has ever
crossed, may path."
Hack sat' down meekly and
listened to a one-hour disserta-
tion on the art of selling. At the
end of it, the manager had work-
ed himself into such a magnani-
mous mood that he signed ata.
application for a $10,000 policy.
He handed it to Hack and con-
cluded, "Now remember my ad-
vice. Learn a couple of standard„
organized sales approaches,"
"Oh, I've done that already,"
said Hack happily. "I've got a
standard approach for every type
of prospect. What you just heard
is my standard approach for
tough sales managers."
