Second Mistake: "Then I met a mail who shower- ed me with attention, gifts, and what I thought to be love, After four years of Marriage, I ant about to give up. "He had three children and I took them to raise. I love them all. But now I don't think I can go on. My husband admits being untrue, and does as lie jolly well pleases. He snakes good monei+, but gives me only enough for gro- ceries. lie hardly ever takes me anywhere; says he can't .afford a baby-sitter. I have had to take reputed beatings from hint when lie came home drunk. And he is so jealous that I have no friends left — even my girl friends have stopped conning. as I never can visit them. I spend my time at home, busy with the house and the children, "Would i> be smart to take my little girl and leave? Then lie would find out how much he has to pay a full-time housekeeper. i have grown to despise him. Why should I stay here and slave? MARY." * Some women continue to live in misery because they haven't the courage to break up their +° homes — or because they are too soft-hearted to leave the Hien they once loved. So they endure, ` living in false hope and growing no younger with each year. *` All my readers know that I do not recommend divorce if I can find any gray to save a marriage. Sometitnes I even suggest one more chance, even when it is obvious that the man does not deserve it; that is so his wife 4= will have no regrets afterward. * To me, marriage is a sacred obligation. But when a husband 4: has illicit affairs, drinks to the point of brutality, is stingy with * money and is unappreciative of all his wife does — then there 4` seems to be little sanctity in living with hint. 4= In addition to making a home 4� for your husband and doing,what You can to keep him contented, 4: you have taken on the raising of his three children, That is *.one more reason why he should 4` be sure you are happy and do everything lie can to give you pleasure and appreciation. In- stead of which, lie seems to take 4: that responsibility for granted too. Since he is close with his h money, your idea of letting him find out how much a housekeep- er would cost might touch hien 4+ where it really hurts.

There is usually more than one way of doing a job if you look for it. Which reminds me We are wondering to what extent, if any, aeroplanes are used in making; road surveys. Several times we have noticed planes flying Iow, back and forth, following the course of the surveyors' stakes for the proposed new highway from Montreal to Windsor, which, unless pians are changed, may run through our farm, Another day our mailman told us that he, also, had watched a plane, with what looked like a long cable hanging from it,, follow- ing this same aerial route. It would be nice to know what it all means. But I suppose only the Depart- nient of High}vat's !snows --and it won't tell! Well, here is one person glad to pass on information—for what it is worth. The other day, rather than fetch soap and water to wash the outside of the front door, 1 used what I had in my hand—a rag soaked with furniture cream and polish. The result was unbelievable —the door looked as if it had been freshly painted. "It won't last -it will soon go dull again," I said -to myself. But it didn't it is still bright and clean—and I see no reason now why it shouldn't stay that way, Funny, the things one discovers by accident. And now to change the subject, I must confess to having wasted a lot of time --wasted it in reading. a '"best seller," The book was ."Stam Money" by Kathleen Winsor—thc same author who wrote "Vorever Amber," The play of it because so ;rand prize winner and best of !\newspaper National Snapshot ,, taken by remote control, of a his infant daughter.

As to that, l quite enjoyed the historical background' in her previous novel. But "Star Money' has little to, cmmend it as it is mainly a recital of divorces and illicit love affairs. One has the feeling it is a novel based on- the findings of the Kinsey report. When there is still so much is the world that is good and fine why should any novelist -and: a woman at that—degrade herself by writing such a book? One is thank- ful there are still novelists like - Elizabeth Goudge who can write for our pleasure such a delightful' book as "Gentian H•ill." But, some of you may argue, this is an age of realism. Granted,, but surely that which is beautiful and beneficient is just as realistic as the sordid and sensual side of ltu= )craft nature. Remember diose lines: i "Tw-a men. looked out from prison bars One saw mud, the other stars."' Russ IVinsor apparently prefers• the mud and likes to Have her readers walImv irr it with, Iter.. Again you may argue—"If you didn't like the boot: why did you I read it?" For the simple reasgni one call hardly give an opinion about any booic without knowing its, content. The. book had one saving grace. Psychologically the way in, which the heroine reacted to, sud- denly acquired fame and fortune 'was rinteresting and well portrayed. Easier Way Of Knitting Sleeves If you find knitting smoother ind faster than purling, here's how you n zip t • or down that 18 -inch Ca . p t p d w C on sleeves when using the stock- inette or another similar stitch.

Then continue Lip, the sleeve ,vitb four needles, knitting every row, rather than knitting one row and purling back. Adding for fullness at the elbow is just as easy as if you were using two. needles. Just increase oil the first or second stitch of number I needle and the last or next -to -last stitci't of number 3. Of course, when you reach the required number of inches and be- gin to shape the armhole, you use single -pointed ones. Some directions for sleeves start by picking up stitches along the armhole on the body of the gar- ment. Using this method you can knit the entire sleeve right down, to the cuff. No one will have to "needle" you into using this ntethcd. Try it end see!
