"Dear Anne Hirst: I can't help�
but say something to that grand-
mother who is so lonely for her
grandchildren, because from the
daughter-in-law's standpoint the
case is so much like mine. Of
course, I sympathize with her,
but I think her very helpfulness
provoked the young wife's tem-
per until she took it out on her
husband.
"Can you imagine how frus-
trating it is for a busy wife with
young children to prepare a fine
meal for her husband—only to
have his mother walk in with
something so wonderful that he
doesn't even notice his wife's
cooking? As for that mother-in-
law's insisting on helping with

the cleaning, why not just tell
her you want your house cleaner
than hers was when her son
lived there? It would accomp-
lish the same thing,
"The very fact that the daugh-
ter-in-law wanted to hurt her
by taking the children away, .
and that her son hasn't visited
her as he used to ,would indicate
that they blame her. It happen-
ed to me.
"If this grandmother really
wants to be helpful, she will do
as my mother-in-law did—AF-
TER I had it out with her. I was
brutally frank, and thank heav-
en, she saw my side of it .
She helped bring my husband
and ane together, and then kept
the children while we took a
wonderful vacation! Since that
time, she helps me only when
I ask her to.
"I have never been happier
than I am today. It is hard to
believe that this woman I love
and respect so much is the same
one I resented only a short time
ago.

If mothers-in-law would learn
to "stay in their own backyard"

themselves, how .many more
happy marriages there would be!

side of it) tell Anne Hirst about
it, and receive the benefit of her
long experience and sympathy.

Beiry Nice "' On Cape Cod, they're harvesting the tangy red
cranberriei;;. The young lady above shows how it's done, with
the traditional scoop. Right now, she's The Girl Without a Name.
That's because the cranberry industry is holding a nationwide
contest among housewives to get a name for her, with a string
of prizes for winner and runners-up.
Hold It, Docl -- When the strain of the buzzing dentist's drill be-

breaks electrical contact until she feels up to starting again,
Friends, if you ever intend
visiting, for the first time, some-
one who lives in a new sub -di-
vision let me advise you to find
out the exact location of the
house, otherwise you may find
yourself on the salve sort of wild
goose -chase some friends and I
experienced a few weeks ago
when I was in Ottawa. The pq5-
tal address of the person I want-
ed to call on was Quarries, P.O.
no street, no house name or nuni-
ber— so I naturally concluded
that once Quarries was located
the rest would be easy. I couldn't
have made a bigger mistake. We
found Quarries without a n•y
trouble—east of Ottawa. We also
found new sub-divisions—plenty
of them.. We wandered up one
road and down the next. We
stopped to inquire from at -least
a dozen persons ... "did anyone
know where Mrs. F. lived," No-
body did. I remembered the des-
cription of the house in her lagV,
letter — "a nice little five4Oblfr
bungalow about two years old."
But that same description suited
scores and scores of other houses
that we passed. And the roads,
streets, or whatever they call
them—one was exactly like an-
other, all the same length and
width, with front lawns and
cement walks leading to almost
identical bungalows or cottages;
the only noticable difference be-
ing in the colour of the roof and
possibly the front door. No doubt
the inside of the houses showed
a little more individuality but
from the outside any person
might be excused if he didn't..
recognize his own dwelling and
walked into the wrong house by
mistake. In fact I know a man
who did just that and was quite
surprised when a woman who
wasn't his wife came forward to
greet him. Just to keep the rec-
ord straight I might add this man
was a total abstainer!
WeII, to cut a long story short
we never did find Mrs. F., .and
then, as luck would have it, Mrs.
F. called here one day last week.
—and I was in Toronto. I might
add she didn't have any trouble
in locating us—you don't often
find two farm houses that look
exactly alike. Even if the archi-
tecture is similar the setting of
one house is generally completely
different from another — even
though farm folk have not as yet
taken to painting their front
doors either pink or yellow, But
of course that time may come-,
you never can tell• Especially if
one had paint that needed using
up --the cost of paint being quite
a consideration in these old
houses. For instance our dining
roots is 18 feet square; one bed-
room and the living -room 18 x
20. Buying paper and paint for
rooms that .size really runs into
money,

Well, our bride and groom have
returned from their honeymoon
to Vancouver Island and have
set up housekeeping in Oakville
—far enough away to be com-
pletely on their own but near
enough so that we can see them
quite frequently. They were in
for supper tonight so now, with a
married daughter and a married
son we really feel we have a
family.
Family .. . wait until I tell you
of our other family! We have
imported two little kittens, I
We also have new stock at the
barn—our first heifer calf arriv-
ed last week and we bought sixty
laying pullets—after selling our
moulting hens. The pullets are
hybrids, Rock and Hampshire
crossed. Nice, quiet, contented
little biddies—or so we thought
until we found five of them run-
ning around in the lane. The
maim window frames in the pen
have wire screening but another
window higher up is unprotected
The pullets found it and spread
their winds in search of liberty.
Partner called to me for help
just as 1 was getting dinner We
managed to run the pullets into
the cow -stable and eventually
caught them—but believe me it
took longer to do than it 'does to
write it. Potatoes for dinner that
day were over -cooked and un-
salted.
We' wonder ... is lack of in-
terest on the part of farmers
themselves responsibledr many
of their problems rerit�tbthg un-
solved? Recently Partner was
out to a meeting in regard to the
marketing of certain dairy pro-
ducts. There was the President
and secretary and three other
farmers, including Partner!
A banquet was suggested to
"Wake up, dear! Guess the ale
conditioner is snoring againt!"
bring the men out and. increase
their interest. Interest in the
problems to be discussed or in-
terest in being fed? Again we
wonder.
