Read one wife's complaint: "I am 32, Anne Hirst. My mother died when I was born, and I can't ever remember my father telling me he loved Me. I have always felt unwanted, that rio one cared for use. Now I've been married 14 years, and have two girls. But I still feel the same way, ".My husband doesn't drink or gamble or run around, and I know I'm lucky that he is good to me. I know he loves me—but I'd still like to hear him say so! I get up at four o'clock to pack his lunch and get his breakfast; does he say 'thank you' and kiss me good-bye? No. "You work hard all day cleaning the house, taking care of the chil- dren, fixing a nice supper. He comes in, picks on the children till they cry, then raises cain because they aren't quiet while he eats. He talks only about his job. Never a word about how nice you look, or how the house shines, or how things went that day! "You say to yourself, `Oh well, he'll talk to inc after supper! You're only kidding yourself. Then he wants the paper, and the children, ltd I aren't supposed to talk out loud, or laugh, or sing. He reads the paper irons front to back (in- cluding your co1unut, so please print this; maybe he'll realize how lstueh we all miss his love,) "You think, after he's through, naybe he'll talk a while, or take you out, You guessed wrong. He foes to bed, How long can you a woman live like this? I'm not old yet. I like to visit our friends or go to x show. But I could get along without those. It is the lack of love I feel. Why le a man so dumb that he can't say so? I can wear a new dress for a month before he even notices it! Some day I'm going to forget to clean up the house and the children and see whether he knows the deference, (I doubt it.) "I guess there` no use in hop- ing. But at least I feel better to get this off my chest! Thanks a lot :or reading it." (Signed: Loveless * TO ''LOVELESS": Women * blossom under appreciation. A * tittle word of thanks, a kiss given * as though the roan means it, an * awareness of all you have done • during the day—these sixiall * things are what keeps a wife * young and alive and attractive. * Your husband is selfish, with- * out meaning to be. He takes • everything that you do for grant- * ed, assumes that the home cleans * itself; he pays no attention to * his children — those youngsters * who would respond with love Mir * and confidence if he would only * let thein know he cares about * them. How much such a husband * and father misses in life! , . . I * hope your husband reads this * today, and examines his attitude * toward you all, He does love you, * but, as you say, why can't he say * * * Brief Answers * TO "A LONELY MAN," * " "A. J.

I am terribly * sorry, and I do hope that things * will straighten out for you soon.. * TO "HEARTBROKEN B': * If you haven't done so already, * write this lad a nice apology for * your rudness, and say that you * hope he wilt forgive you and be * friendly again. More than this you cannot sensibly do. To alien readers: How long is it since you told your wife how you appreciate all she is and does? Do you realize that is what the lives for? Think It over—and if you want to know how to cherish a wife, ask Anne Hirst. Address her at Box 1, 123 Eighteenth St. New Toronto, Ont, - Modern Etiquette by Roberta Lee Q.

There is leo known cure for leukemia, or cancer of the blood as it is soiTle- times called, but research workers are hoping that — WITH YOUR HELP — eventually substances will be obtained that can control or cure this dread disease. As I think I may have told you before I'm the sort of person who can take my peanut butter or leave it alone—preferably the latter. However, that by no means indicates that there aren't plenty of others who do like it very much, in fact it seems to become more and more popular every year. So perhaps you'd like to hare this recipe for easily made: PEANUT BUTTER MUFFINS 2 cup sifted all-purpose flour or 254 cups sifted pastry flour 4 teaspoons baking powder 3 tablespoons sugar 1 teaspoon salt 1 egg IQ's cup peanut butter 2-3 cup milk 3' cup water 1 tablespoon shortening, melted Mix and sift flour, baking powder, .sugar and salt. Beat egg until light then add peanut butter, milk, water and melted shortening. Add liquid to flour mixture all at once, stir- ring only enough to combine. Fill greased muffin tins 2-3 full and bake in a hot oven over 400 F., for 20 minutes. Yield: 12 muffins. VARIATIONS: To make a de- licious sweet muffin to serve for tea or supper, fill muffin this 1/3 full with the above mixture, Add teaspoon jain or jelly to each muffin, then add more batter until muffin tins are 2-3 full, * * * You've probably heard of the small boy who was taken to a museum where they had an exhibit of many different sorts of fish— stuffed and mounted. Pausing be- fore one labelled "SALMON" he said scornfully, "Whoever put that sign up must be goofy; I thought everybody knew that salmon comes in cans," And although the development of the Frozen Food business has made fresh fish far more easily avail- • able, there are still a lot of us, who live inland, who stilt get most of the fish we eat out of cans. Here's a way of serving i; that may be new to some of you. SALMON ROLL 1 pound can salmon (or any t+t!ter fish, flaked and boned) W.I. cup mayonnaise 2 tablespoons chopped parsley 54 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon lemon juice 1 teaspoon minced onion dash of pepper Biscuit dough. METHOD: Mix all the ingredi- ents together -until well blended, then make your favourite biscuit dogh. Roll out into a 7x15 inch rectangle and transfer to a lightly greased heavy baking sheet. Spread salmon mixture down centre of dough to within two inches of either end, Fold over the edges, Roll over so lengtwhise seam is underneath.. Tuck the ends under the roll. Make stashes along top for steam to es- cape Bake 12 to 15 minutes at 425 degrees. Place on hot serving dish. Garnish with lemon wedges and parsley. Serve hot with creamed vegetables, such as peas or aspara- gus. Serves six to eight. * There are probably hundreds of different types of Cookie Jars, but they all seem to have one thing in common. Especially in homes where there are youngsters around, they all have a way of getting empty in amazingly little time. Next time it happens in your home, try these: MOLASSES DROP COOKIES 1 cup fat or shortening 1 cup sugar 2 eggs, beaten 1 cup molasses 5 cups all-purpose flour 1 tablespoon ginger 1 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon soda. 2 cups chopped raisins or dates. 2 cups chopped nutmeats (optional) l cup warm water. METHOD: Cream fat and sugar; add eggs and molasses. Sift flour with ginger, salt and soda. Al- ternately add flour and water to the fat, sugar and egg mixture. Mix well. Add raisins and ,nuts. Drop by teaspoonfuls on lightly greased baking sheet. Bake at 375 degrees for 10 to 15 minutes, or until cook- ies spring back when lightly touch- ed. When cool put in cookie jar and try and think of new place to hide it, GENTLE SPRING •'Watchmakers have their own sign of spring—the mainspring.
