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. A few
4` months' trial should be convinc-
ing
Before'you decide to leave your
husband, tell Anne Hirst why. She

riage that seemed hopeless, Write

which -, e had not done—and we

we hope our roof troubles are over
—for a year or two at any rate:
While Partner was doing the

prefer to have both feet on the

bothers me to see other people on

when Partner was doing the roof,

some people have no fear of high
places at all. The other day I Beard

out the sash and clean my windows
in safety and comfort. 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

much, of the writing is clever one
feels that the author is capable of
writing a good novel if she set her
wind to it. 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

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 your directions Begin with the
cuff, simply use four double -pointed
neeilles instead of two single -point-

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

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
