LANNE HIRSTJ W&,,l"i Fat% .4 Cvcu"e®.cr'c `Dear Anne First: When we miarried over a year ago, we de* tided to live with my parents until we could afford our own home, During that period my wife was willing to live any place, just so vire could be alone. "But when we started looking, 'szf:=:yY, she wouldn't set- .:'' tle for anything • 4" less than afive- room house: She s V f i6 s. considered only the most expen- '" s i v e furniture. She decided my clothes were not fine enough.- And she didn't like people. (She quit three jobs because she couldn't get along with her co- workers.) "Now that we live alone, she wants me to come home earlier, be- cause she gets lonesome during the slay I "I have tried leaving her money to run the house. But when the (month is up, she hasn't any left .to gray the bills. Her another (who works) and her sister (married) are always wanting, me to go on their motes of security, "What can I do- My wife won't take a job to help with finances and I can't tell her mother to stay away, S.O.S." LAY DOWN THE LAW * Your wife was so anxious for * a home of her own that she would e have been grateful, you say, to ,r move into a modest apartment'. * Ask her whether she would like a to go back to your family's home now? * If she keeps on spending as *she is doing, you will not only • be unable to pay the rent, but * you will be bankrupt. And then • she will have no choice about * where you two must live. * From what you tell me, she * comes from a family of spend- •ro thrifts, people accustomed to * living. -beyond their income, tak- * ing no thought of the future, 'R And to obtain that end, they a would borrow from anybody who is foolish enough to lend them money. e So perhaps your wife's irres- 't ponsibility is not entirely her own fault. 1� She must, however, learn that 9 she cannot spend money that she. 9 does not have. And you will ^� have the difficult job of teaching " her to do without those things * for which she cannot pay cash. * Take over the handling of N your income for a while. Close the charge accounts. Give her just enough to pay for the k week's (or month's) household 'k expenses and maize her under- stand that is all there is. * Don't do this in anger, nor * impatiently. Go over the figures * of your income and living ex- penses, and ,remind her that every month you must save a k sum toward the future and any emergencies. You and she will k want your own home and family 'k some day. Now is the time to * provide for them. Rem:nd your wife that she is your partner in an economic rF sense, too. That you depend on * her to co-operate in this new and * necessary arrangement. And that * so long as you love each other * and have a place 'of your own, * these "sacrifices" should not be * sacrifices at all—but the chance * to prove to each other that you * understand and accept the true 'k essentials of life together. Her family must learn, and * now, that they cannot look to m you any further to help them out k of their financial straits. If your 'k wife will not tell them, you will have to. k A man's soaal life is largely * in the hands of his wife. This girl you married should be mak- ing friends through her church 'k and neighborhood acquaintances —not only to keep her from * being lonely, but to establish k yourselves as all important social * unit in your community. It will * be hard for her at first, but it * is the only answer to heT childish * dependence upon you. With your 'k help and encouragement, she can * gradually creep out of her shell 'k and become the real helpmate * that 'every man . has the right to * expect. In other words, you will have 'k to help your wife grow up. Patience and gentleness, com- bined with firmness, should solve 'k all your problems. If you find the girl you married is still an adolescent dreamer, ask Anne Hirst's advice. She under- stands, and can be of practical help. Write her at Box 1, 123 Eighteenth Street, New Toronto, Ontario.

"Well, not quite," I answered, and then remembering this other Nvoman also came from the country I added—"How about. you?" Site laughed—"Yes, I de- served that question—but it seems every time I come downtown I.. meet you in one or other of the stores, so 1 just wondered thought maybe you had moved to town." That started me thinking—just wondering if I did make a lot of unnecessary trips. I remembered the gas -rationing days= -when I never niade a trip to town unless it was absolutely necessary iii'V' always found it quite easy to keep well within my gas ration. But now, although I begrudge the time it takes to get dressed and go down town, yet I do go quite frequently —on Saturdays sometimes two and three times. Take fast Saturday, for instance. Business at the bank— so I had to go down in the morn- ing—banking hours being from 9:30 to 11. At the bakeshop we have a standing order for fruit buns on Saturday but they are never ready before 12 o'clock-.. Na- •+ turally I couldn't wait for them— there was dinner to get at home. So I picked up a few groceries and ambled back home . , . 1 would have to go down later, About 4:30 1 set out again—and I had to hurry because the library closes at five—but I thought I could change my books, pick up the buns, get the evening paper and be home in plenty of time to get . stepper. I got the books and buns but the papers were late corning in. L waited and waited, determined not to make a third trip downtown. That way I saved oil gas but I wasted a lot of time and barely had supper on the table before the men came in to eat it, .Or take any other day, Very often if i miss the overnight mail I take my letters to the 8;50 train in the morning. Occasionally Part - tier has said—''You alight bring me so-and-so from the drugstore." Without thinking I agree, But then I find the drugstore don't open until 9;30. Oh well, at least the butcher store will be open and I can get served there in a hurry at this time in the morning. But one man is very much occupied with hacking up a side of beef and the other fellow is constantly at the telephone taking orders for the day. Eventually they get around to serving nee, Perhaps another day I am busy at a paint job and leave my trip to town until :around 5:30. There are only a few things to get anyway. But, oh dear, the town is busy—you don't know which place to go first because they all close at six. So l start at the post office but get behind two people both wanting money orders—and malting out money orders is slow business. From the post office I go from store to store and appar- ently I'm the only one in r hurry —certainly the ones behind the counter are not. Jell, alight as well take back an evening paper •--they are sure to be in by this time, "Paper?" says the girl at the drugstore—"Oh, I'm sorry --they came in early today and we have- n't one leftl" I give up and go Moine, Langen and Robert Rydei, f r,, les and were on hand to greet titch flo«-er bulls ever to reach >S Defender, Linda sinks her el's half -a -million -dollar cargo. So that's the way it goes when everyone is on an eight -hour -day except the farmer. Go down- town early and you have to wait for the stores to open. Go late and you have to rush around to get everything you want before the doors close for the night. Baci. in those leisurely days when the main purpose of the storekeepers and their assistants was to serve the public rather than beat the time clod., then you could do all your business on just one trip to town. In fact it was often possible to make only one trip a week by us'ng a little forethought. In fact I do that even yet in winter -time as I get Bob to pick up my orders then. But in summer, with com- pany coming and going all the time, I like to do my own shopping. But, ch dear, I shouldn't com- piete this column without men- tion:ng what happens at the doc- tor's office. Our doctor has his office hours from 1-4 and 7-9, morning hours by appointment. So to save time 1 get an appointment for 10 a.m. Get there right on the dot-' '. and there are four people ahead of me! "What time was your appointment?" i asked one young girl. "Ten o'clock," she answered. The others said their appo:ntment was 10 o'clock too. I begin to wonder what good is -an appoint- ment if it is given to more than one at the same time. "That's, old stuff," says the young girl. " be doctor says 10 o'clock but lee sees .you when he gets around to it." That may be true but at least we can't grumble about the doctor's hours—[ never knew one yet who' had too much leisure time on his hands. EGGWI3ITE SUBSTITUTE Lggwhite is albumen, a protein. What The Chemical and Engineer- ing News describes as "synthetic eggwhite" is now produced in Nor- way from codfish.
