"Dear Anne Hirst: \Vhy do these ;wives complain when their hus- bands handle the money? 1 handle ours, and it's a big nuisance. My husband did not want to be bothered with it, so I took it on when we mar- ried tw o years ago. I ant too impatient to cn- oy it; more than once I've made bad mistakes that landed us in a hole. He never scolds, just goes over the figures and straightens me out. "Once I got so discouraged I asked bim to take over. He did, ford two months—and forgot to pay important bills! He does have a responsible position, and often works at night, I'm willing enough, but the job irks me and I've come to hate it, "We never quarrel about money. I give him an allowance, and if he needs more I hand that out too. I spend little on myself, because that makes me feel guilty. "I'd feel better if he'd do the whole thing, and I ask him for what I want. He is so indulgent that I'm sure I wouldn't mind. "Is there any easy way to man- age?

B. Warren, B, A., B. D. Living Together In The World Isaiah 65: 17-25; Acts 17: 24-28. Memory Selection: Have we not all one father? hath not one God created us? Malachi 2:10. In to -day's lesson Isaiah des- cribes the grand new world of which we all dream. We know that this world falls far short of the ideal. But somehow we have an earnest longing for the ideal and a conviction that it ought to, and, indeed, must carte. Man has made great progress in the first half of this century. For example, medical science has raised life expectancy more than twenty Years, God says he will do better than that. "The child shall die a hundred year old." Moreover, fight- ing will cease. "The wolf and the lamb shall feed to-gether — They shall hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the Lord." That will be wonderful, But Ifow shall it come about? Man's efforts to establish a lasting peace through- out the world have pitiably failed. It shall come under the direction of Jesus Christ, the King of Kings and Lord and Lords. He must usher in the reign of peace. How soot will His glorious Kingdom be realized? We do not know. But the fact of the rapid fulfullment of the prophecies concerning the Jews point -'to thefideep significence of the days m which we live. During the first half of this year the Jews returned to Palestine, the tiny land promised to Abraham's seed, at the rate of twenty-one thousand a month. The weeping wall will soon have no place in Jerusalem, The Lord will triumph. The King of kings will reign in right- eousness. Let us pray "Thy King- dom conte". EMERGENCY The captain of the local fire bri- gade entered the Pig and Whistle and ordered half a pint of beer. The landlady looked at his in.as- tonislmtent, for she had never known hits to order less than a pint. Doubting whether she had heard aright, site asked; "Did you say half a pint, captain?" "Sorry — but I haven't time for it pint," said the fireman, "I'm on my way to a fire." HOW CAN 1? By Anne Ashley Q. How can I renew old jar lids? .1, Boil the old jar lids in: a solu- tion of borax and pure soap, using three tablespoonfuls or borax and one-third cake of soap to about two gallon,; of water, Put in just enough lids et a time to be well covered by the water. Moil for thirty minutes, then rinse well with lot water. Q. How can I mark linen effici- ently? A. If the handkerchiefs and other Pieces of linen that are to be mark- ed with indelible ink, are first starched, it will prevent the ink from spreading and blurring. Q.

SHALLOW WATER A motor -cyclist in Devon came to a stream flowing across the road. "Ts it deep?" he asked a yokel. "No, only about two inches," the chap replied. The man rode on and the water came up to his ears. "I thought you said it wasn't deep?" he shouted. "Well," said the yokel, "it only Comes halfway up cur ducks."

HIRONICLES 1NGERFk. : ey, evi¢ttidoli.ne D Cie4Lke Well, maybe I had better let the rest of the week take care of itself and devote my attention to last Friday, That was the clay we went to the C, -N, E, But first let me tell y: 1 hoe '.re went. Our first thought was to leave ti:c car at house and go by bus—the traffic is far too heavy for 1115 these csys. Men I remembered our young neighbours—no car, but the man a careful and experienced transport driver. So wasn't that a perfect set- up , , . Our car, good driver, roost for four other passengers and a free pass to the grounds on my Press eay invitation? The day was hot and humid but quite bearable—no sun and a cool- ing breeze off the lake. When the car was packed we all parted com- pany, going our separate ways to take in whatever interested us most. Many folk have long since realized it is the only way to make the ,best use of their time at the Big Fair. Early morning is a comfortable time for seeing exhibits, especially in the Women's Division, A lot of handiwork does not receive the at- tention it deserves as each one of us has only one pair of eyes—and feet—and both give out all too soon. But remember those exhibits think of the hours and hours of work by literally hundreds of. busy fingers that made those exhi- bits possible, Pottery, quilts, sew- ing, shelleraft, weaving , .. impos- sible to list them all. Even a straight exhibit, like the reproduc- tion of a portion of Princess Eliza- beth's furniture and table appoint- ments means a lot of work—just to give us a glimpse of gracious and royal living. There w••ts one exhibit which both delighted and disappointed me—the Crown Jewel:. In replica, of course. ,epeet vou &car is7 Raised lieg81t and tender with new fast DRY Yeast! ai There's a new twist 1n doughnuts — a new thrill in all your baking!

Now, at the Exhibition, I shall have my opportunity, I thought. What natter if the Jewels are only copies—that at least give people a chance to know what the real ones look like. I expected to find the Jewels in a prominent place and given all kinds of publicity, But where were they? In an out -of -the way corner of the Women's Building! How many 111551 go through the women's sec- tion—except out of courtesy to their wives? Partner wanted to see the Jewels but he would pro- bably have missed them had I not told hint where they were. And they are certainly worth seeing. But I wonder . . , how many know of the history, intrigue, romance and adventure connected with the Crown Jewels? I would have liked to see this exhibit in the British section with an official in charge banding out printed leaflets, giving a brief history of the Crown Jewels. It would have been highly educa- tional and given the Canadian public a better understanding of the importance of each Crown and sceptre. For instance, the abortive attempt of Colonel Blood to steal the Crown Jewels during the reign of Charles II is more thrilling than any modern detective novel. But on with the shote. For the another highlight of the clay was the Press luncheon where one can always he sure of meeting old friends and acquaintances and of heisg introduced to others whom nue had known only by repute through the medium of radio and reading. Many of theta are also known to those who read this col- umn , , , Edna Jaques, Ethel Chap - titan, „Cherry," Jane Weston, Mrs. G. A. Dills, Lillian I+osier, Lillian C. (;ray, Margaret Aitken, Mona Gould, Mrs. Catherine Marsden, Joy Trainer, and, of course, the in- comparable Kate Aitken& and the irrepressible Horace Lapp. There is always plenty of fun and laughter at this luncheon, and the setting it ideal for a hot day—on a bal- cony overlooking the lake, During the afternoon many of us return- ed for a leisurely cup of tea, with still greater opportunity for meeting and chatting with' friends both old and new, About 5 p,m. our little party met at the appointed place and started. for home. Somewhere scar Port Credit, on the Queen Eliza- beth we ran into a traffic jam. The cause was nine eastbound cars in a string, radiators and rear ends jam- med together. Tow trucks and traf- fic officers were having a sweet time, The police certainly have their Problems on our super four -lane highways—highways that were built primarily for speed and safety! Csiant Gooseberries Lancashire was the champion county for giant gooseberries when they were in fashion among fac- tory workers and miners. At some of the gooseberry shows the exhi- bits were "as big as pumpkins." There was an art in growing these giants, and the shower's greatest difficulty was to feed the berries to the last stages of plumpness with- out bursting the skin. Size and weight of the fruit in- creased if, 1011051 the berries were breathing—at sunrise and sunset— the tops of each were dipped into a teaspoonful of 111 ilk. "They sup- ped it up `like as if it was humans wi' ale!'" It was sheer waste feed- ing then on beer, for the berries burst their sides with taking too touch. After sucls fuss and preparation it was little wonder that the open- ing hour of the gooseberry show was "as tense and as weird as a funeral." ,How empty learning, hoe vain is art, but as it mends the life and guides the heart. —Young • HAS SERVICE EVASION PLAN Goodness, Me. --Oswald Q.
