"Dear Anne Hirst: I am a con-
trite husband, back with my wife,
and wondering how crazy a man
can get ... We have been mar-
ried 18 years, and have two chil-
dren. My wife is a grand per-
son—yet two months ago I fell
in love with another woman, and
lost my head.
"I told my wife I was leaving.
She said nothing, just stood there
and listened.... The woman and
I went off together for over a
month; , I felt like a boy again,
relieved of responsibilities, and
renewing my youth. I even prom-
ised to get free somehow and
marry her, and I really intended
to.
"Then, suddenly, my love for
her was gone. One day she seem-
ed like a stranger.... I came to
my senses, and brought her
back fast. She is a nice girl, and
I couldn't bring myself to tell
her the truth—that I would
never be content with any wom-
an but my wife.
"WHAT'S NOW?"
"My wife has forgiven me, and
ehnly God in His mercy knows
why. Since then, I've done all
I could to make up for my folly.
"But what of the girl? I feel
responsible. I thought I had to
see her now and then, to break
off gently. I know she cares for
me, and I feel how grieved and
bewildered she is. No one is to
blame but me. What can I do?"

Don't Scrub El rs
S w' eG%li i
Many women who are accus-
tomed to automatic washers and
ironers, electric mixers and pres-
sure cookers, still get down on
their hands and knees with an
old-fashioned brush and pail to
scrub the floor.
A few are able to turn this
chore over to a weekly cleaning
woman. The rest just don old
clothing and perhaps a pair of
rubber glovesand double as
their own scrubwoman.
Out of chemistry's continuous
research program for removing
the drudgery from housework
has come the cellulose sponge,
now a familiar kitchen and bath-
room accessory.
When equipped by manufac-
turers with a long handle and a •
small hand -operating wringer
this same cellulose sponge will
keep the housewife's knees off
hard floors and her hands out of
grimy water.
Scrubbing a floor this way be-
comes about as easy as sweeping
it with a broom. Hands never
touch the mop end or the water
and the whole operation it per-
formed from an erect position.
The mop is simply clipped into
a pail containing a mild cleaning
solution and rubbed over the
floor. To lap up the loosened dirt
and water, the mop end is first
rinsed and then wrung out with
a flip of the automatic squeezer.
Since cellulose sponges soak up,,
20 times their weight in water,
wringing is reduced to a mini-
mum.
These sponge mops are becom-
ing as versatile as the popular
cellulose hand sponge. When
moistened with clear water and
squeezed until all the water has
been expelled, 'they make excel-
lent rug cleaners and floor dust-
ers. The sponge has such an at-
traction for dust, dirt and lint
that the mop should be rinsed
clean periodically under the
kitchen tap. Their long handles
make them convenient for wash-
ing walls, windows, ceiling and
other awkward areas. T1 e auto-
matic squeezer makes it easy for
the housewife to control their
moisture content.
Sponge mops are also handy
liquid wax appliers. With usage
they become saturated with the
liquid and result in a saving of
wax which is often wasted when
other appliers are tossed out,

Everybody gets a bit run-down now and

and so help restore their normal action of
removing excess acids and wastes. Then

Before resuming my eh d nary,
everyday "chronicles". I would
like to devote just one more
column to the A.C.W.W. Confer-
ence — this time in connection
with the visit of the delegates
the very spot where the Mother
Institute was organized. To my
mind this was one of the high-
lights of the Conference.
Judging by its well -wooded
surroundings the terrane of
Stoney Creekhas changed very
little since the decisive battle of
1812-14. It is a beautiful little
village, and, if one knew nothing
at all of its history, one would be
inclined to pause awhile because
of the .magnificent scenery And
then, having paused, it would be
only natural to inquire about the
imposing monument that stands
high upon a hill in Battlefield
Park. This monument is in the
form of a massive stone column,
rising from a dense growth of
trees and shrubs and was erected
to commemorate the Battle of
Stoney Creek between the Ame-
rican and Canadian Forces in
June, 1813. But it has still an-
other meaning, of possibly even
greater significance. It com-
memorates the beginning of the
peaceful era that has existed be-
tween Canada and the U.S.A.
for 140 years. Further evidence
of the friendly relationship be-
tween two great border. countries
can be found in the burial ground
across the road, where Cana-
dian and American soldiers, who
once fought against each other,
now sleep side by side, having
given their lives for what each
considered a just cause. On the
battlefield where they fell a
Soldier's Monument has been
erected in their memory.
Following the grim aftermath
of war the people of Stoney
Creek settled down to again
wrest a living from the soil.
Many of the early settlers were
United Empire Loyalists and
among them was a widow, Mary
Jones Gage, who, with her two
children, James and Elizabeth,
came to Canada from Albany in
the year 1790 and were granted
Crown Lands in Stoney Creek.
The home where the Gage
family lived, and endured great
danger, and hardship during the
war, is now known as Battle-
field House and is preserved as
a Museum, most of the pioneer
furnishings having been con-
tributed by various members of
the Gage family,
Mary Gage was a courageous
woman. After losing her loya-
list husband, John Gage, she put
what possessions she could
handle into a canoe, and, with
her children and two brothers,
made her way along the old-
time water route from Albany
to Canada. finally to the head -
of -the -Lakes and thus to Stoney
Creek. Here she set about
clearing the land and tilling the
soil until her son James was
old enough to take over the res-
ponsibility. How fitting, con-
sidering . these and later circum-
stances during the war, that the
motto of the Gage family was,
and presumably still is, "Cou-
rage without Fear."
Possibly that motto would ap-
ply equally well to many other
pioneer Stoney Creek residents,
and particularly to Erland Lee.
It was Mr. Lee who first recog-
nized the need for a women's
organization, whose main func-
tion should be to study and im-
prove rural living. In the fall
of 1896, with this conviction still
firmly rooted in his mind, Er -

land Lee attended a meetmg of
the Experimental Union, at the
O.A.C. in Guelph, where he
heard Mrs. Adelaide Eioodless
address a meeting on the need of
having Domestic Economy taught
in schools as one means of rais-
ing the rural standard of living.
Mr. Lee was so impressed by
Mrs. Hoodless' stirring and for-
'thright address that he arrang-
ed for her to address a meeting ;
of the Farmer's Institute; in.
Stoney Creek, to which the wo-
men were invited. And from
illat small beginning emerged
the Stoney Creek Women's In-
stitute. News of this new ven-
ture got around and women in
other districts were fired with
enthusiasm. One after another
new branches were formed. Now,
the W.I., affiliated with other
rural- organizations. constitutes
the A.C.W.W., the largest wo-
men's organization in the world.
How fitting then, that the
A.C.W.W. ,should visit the site of
the Mother Institute. Here, in
the grounds of Battlefield House,
at the foot of the hill upon which
stands the Memorial Column,
women of all nations met with
the present members of Stoney
Creek W. I. Here, also, were the
five remaining charter members
of the Mother Institute, the first
to carry the torch, led by the
inspired Adelaide Hoodless, who,
from bitter experience, had re --
cognized the need for greater
knowledge among women — of
nursing, medicine and a better
way of living. Here, too, to
greet the delegates was Mar-
jorie Lee, daughter of Erland
Lee; Mrs. Gordon Conant of
Oshawa, daughter of Mrs. D.
Smith, the first W. I. president;
and Miss ' Muriel Bostwick,
grand -daughter of Adelaide
Hoodless.
Across the sunlit hills m the
vicinity of the Gage homestead,
and amid the beautiful shade
trees, it almost seemed as if the
spirit of the pioneers was pre-
sent at this A.C.W.W. pilgri-
mage. Perhaps Mrs. Raymond
Sayre felt it too as she said
in her address — "The Story
of Stoney Creek gives zs four
important points to remember.
First, the power of an Idea; se-
cond, the power of a woman;
third, the power of an individual;
and fourth, it proves that every-.
one must begin where they are,
and with what they have."
VALUABLE CHIPS
Tile Bramer, aged seven, was
enjoying his bag of potato
crisps until he bit on something
altogether unlike the cruelly wa-
fers—a diamond ring.
An indignant boy took himself
off to the potato chip company's
offices to protest. His annoyance
was soon dispelled by the pre-
sentation of a' fat monetary re-
ward given him by the employee
who had lost her engagement ring
while working in the plant.
Honeymoons That
Weren't Too Sweet
Perhaps the shortest honey
moon on record was that of the
Portsmouth soldier who lumped
his unit to get married. Thirty
minutes after the ceremony he
was in cells awaiting anescort
back to barracks,
In the same class were Alex
Hinney and his bride, Constance
Fleet, of Las Vegas. Alex and
his wife went through the mar-
riage service to benefit under the
terms of a will. They collected the
cash on a 150 -minute honeymoon
and then made a bee -like for
the divorce court.
The most uncomfortable honey-
moon was spent by the jester of
Empress Anne of Russia. The
empress didn't like his sense of
humour, and she forced him into '
marrying an old crone.
The couple were compelled to
spend their honeymoon in a
house made of ice on the frozen
surface of the river Neva Just
to make it worse, a bed was in-
stalled which was carved out of
a block of ice.
What about the longest honey-
moon? Surely the Gosport couple
who cruised round the world in
a converted lifeboat are candi-
dates here. They were away for
four years.
Possibly the busiest honey-
moon was spent by Maureen
O'Ryan when she took Ernest
Johnson to be her lawful hus-
band. He was the manager and
she was the assistant on a Dodg-
em track at the Festival Gardens.
They chose the height of the sea-
son to marry, so after the ser-
vice they both went back to a
spell of overtime.
One of the oddest honeymoons
was the choice of London clippie
Elsie Hansen, after she married
a bus driver. Elsie held four
Londpn Transport athletic cham-
pionships, and she had to travel
to Osterley, Middlesex, to defend
them after leaving the church.
The queerest spot for the wed-
ding night was chosen by an
Austrian farm -labourer, who
took his bride home to a stable
to be bed -mates with his fav-
ourite horse.
Borne to Mother
But even she was lucky com-
pared to June Neam, of Mem-
phis. Her husband had a passion
for bull -terriers as well as his
bride, and he took six of them
with him on the honeymoon.
. June didn't mind that so much,
but she drew the line at having
the dogs in bed. She hopped out
and went home to mother.
These trying times are the
good old days we'll be longing
for a few years from now.
