My hus- band has nagged me through them all. "I do every- thing he asks the to, and try so hard to please hits. But it is no use. "In all our married life, I have Clever been allowed to choose my own clothes he always makes me buy what he likes. When it is any- thing for the house, he has to ask his sisters' opinions first; if they like it, he'll get it. He likes com- pany and we have a lot. I'm con- sidered a good cook and everybody enjoys coming here—but his con- stant nagging spoils everything for me. "He is careless ivith his clothes, throwing them on the floor or hanging thein on doorknobs. Then he gripes because I don't keep the house straight! I do keep it straight—until he gets home. INTERFERING FAMILY "We have a daughter three years old. We never see eye to eye in correcting her. He thinks I should spank her for every little mistake. I've tried both ways and find I can do more with her by talking nicely. Then he tells me how his sisters think she should be brought up! "My nerves are giving way under all this contention. He has to have his way in everything. I have been told he has always been this way, from a little boy, "I never 'tell my folks how he treats me; I don't think it's right. You should work things out to- gether. Can you advise me?

A Deisel'- engine• train blared its -vay along the trach: — might have* been heading straight for our bed- room from the sound of it — a four -engine plane- flea• low right over the house, and B<�b drove down the lane -vith his laoisy truck eft rouse, I believe, to help some other- fellow. also with, a truck, who had slipped into the Utah near• our gate. Later there- were sounds of trucks in low gear — presumably, a tow -truck pullfng the- other fel-, low on to the road. Sb there' -was. plenty of noise for half -an -hour or so, but in the- city -where there- is noise all the time, what I heard would probably iieVer have been noticed at all. But maybe we lead' better get ourselves used to, noise because pretty soon there- will be lots of it. You see we are right on a partly constructed highway and the equipment has already been as- sembled for a paving job. Apparent- ly the surface is to be what is, known as "hot -mix." Hot ,nix or cold mix, or anything else they like to call it is all right with n5 just so long as we get a highway that is free of dust, dips and ]Ion - lows — which is -what we have had for about twenty years, even though this stretch of road' has been officially known for that length of time as Highw,,.y -No. 25. Believe me, however great the noise, it is noise that will be !last welcome. Well, the year is surely speeding away into the l'iinbo: of forgotten. yesterdays. Wonder why time pas- ses so much quicker as i%e get older? Seems just as if we were travelling in a High-speed vehicle, minus the brakes. And it is such a pity to have these lovely days go hurrying by — frosty mornings, bright sunily days — so, different from the weather that was handerl out during the time the Ploughing match was in progress at Allisiou, You would think when so much depended on hint the we'atiterman would be a little more co-operative, Bob was there oil the Thursday and he said it relined nearly all the time — and that was one day it was fine' down here and we were thinl:- ing happily that he had ,.truck a good day, When Bob sponse of going to tlhe Ploughing ~Match I happened to say that that was one event I had never yet been to see.

Although I ani quite sure that in our younger clays if Partner and I could have gone to a ploughing match together we would have had :no trouble ill find- ing a common interest. I ]snow we would have had a good time and found much that was challeng- ing and divertlug.
