Dear Anne Hirst: I've heard
that only the perfect man is a
woman's first husband, but I
never dreamed it would happen
to me. Six years ago, at 65, I
married a widow 10 years
younger. She is forever praising
her deceased husband, hew won-
derful he was and how much
More he did for her than I do.
It is getting me down.
"She has reason to complain. I
lost my health, and I cannot pro-
vide for her as I hoped to do;
I feel I'm a burden, and had bet-
ter get out. I ani sure she doesn't
Mere me at all, but though she
is so unkind I still care a good
deal for her.
"Do you think we should
divorce? Or what advice can you
give?
DISTRESSED
" During the years when you
want security and domestic
" peace, you are depressed by ill
* health and the knowledge that
* you are inadequate as a pro-
" vider. The victim of a nagging
* woman who descends to a
of Tamale — Spicy, vivacious
Urine Monteil keeps the boys
south of the border from dwell-
litiq too much on the charms of
American movie actresses,
cheap trick to keep you under
° her thumb, you live in turmoil,
* I do not wonder you feel like
* walking out.
• Divorce is naturally your
* first thought; but that id not
"` easy to obtain, and it is costly.
* You could probably prove
* mental cruelty but that alone
* would not be sufficient.
* Would your wife rather you
" leave her, or stay? She is ells-
" appointed in her rnariage; she
* thought she was to be taken
" care of for the rest of her life.
a' Instead, she finds herself on
'" the supporting end, more or
* less, and she resents it. She
" may be deliberately driving
" you to desperation so you will
* leave; on the other hand, she
* may be one of those creatures
* who finds her one satisfaction
* in berating and belittling you,
and would be even more un-
* happy living alone.
• When you feel up to it, sug-
* gest that she might be more
* contented without you, and
* tell her that her continual
taunting you with failure is
* making you so miserable you
c would be glad to go. I think
"' she will not hesitate to speak
the truth. From all you write,
* it does seem that she has lost
* what affection she once had;
" yet one would think she could
* find some tenderness for a sick
* man who has done the best he
"' could.
• Wouldn't you be happier lie-
" ing with a congenial family?
* Since you still have a small
* income, that might be arrang-
* ed. Put her to the test, settle
* the future, and end this wear-
* ing uncertainty.

One marries for better or for

In your husband, remember your
vows and try to keep them.
Then, whatever happens, you
need not reproach yourself. , .

WHAT A GIFT!
"I'rn afraid, doctor," said Mrs.
Brown, "that my husband has
some terrible mental affliction.
Sometimes I talk to him for
hours and then discover"'that he
hasn't heard a word."
"That isn't an affliction
madam," was the weary reply
"That's a gift."

Last week I was telling you
about the. Officers Conference at
Guelph but I forgot to tell you
that at these W,I, affairs I- so
often meet readers of this col-
umn -- different ones from time
to time. One reader I was tent-
ing with last week cane from
near Ottawa and I was so
amused at this little story she
told me. One day last fall a
neighbour phoned her and said
-- "Well, it's come! "What's
come?" was the obvious ques-
tion. "The baby, of course.
Haven't you read "Ginger Farm"
yet?" So David's arrival seems
to have been quite an event to
others besides his immediate
family, And then 1 always get
this •- "Let's hear more about
your grandson —• you don't say
half enough." Well . . I never
expected you folks to -be so in-
terested. But you asked for it,
so here goes -- sorry I couldn't
work it in last week,
11 was Mother's Day and Part-
ner and I were just going to sit
down alone Bob and Joy, we
knew, had gone to Niagara, and
we didn't expect the Toronto
folks. Then a car drove in. Out
of it came Dee, Arthur, David
and two friends, Bill and June
— plus part of the baby's buggy,
bottles, baby t o o d, diapers,
nightie, shawls and blankets,
Cigars for Partner, chocolates
for me and cooked ham for sup-
per.
After the exeltereenl had died
down and David had been fuss-
ed over and admired then
Daughter told Grandpa with
great glee -- "Gook, Dacl -
David's got something 3 o 0
haven't got!" "All right," ,. id
Partner, "so what? fie may ht ve
a couple of teeth but I've got
more hair than he leas anyway!"
David has also put on a few
pounds -- twenty pounds at six
and a half months ... and yet
he isn't fat. The poor unite was
tired and fretful for awhile —
much to his mother's . disgust
But, rusted and fed, 11e was ,soon
laughing add cooing again
chuckling with delight when-
ever one of the doge came near
hum. T1tes stayed until about
eight o'clock se we saw David in
all hie moods good, bad and
indifferent. Daughter - also in-
formed use that her troop of
Brownie it r,crnptng out for a
week -end in dol, They want
her lA go with tbcmne so wuuld I
like to have David for the week-
end? Would I? 1 :shall be able
to answer that question better
later out 1t ie a long time since
I lied ole charge of a baby but
o t h e r f;raudrnOlhers c o m e
theenge it all right so no doubt•
I shall too. E;pt'cially as Arthtu'
will he aloin as metal support.
Well, the. weather pattern for
last 'week was as per usual --
cold and wet - t'r.cs;pt the last
two days of glorious sunshine.
Noe at last we can hear the
hem of t.rac•toro, and we know
that on high land some fields
have thus dy been sown That
is fort made as we had really
been wondering in how many
bane fertilizer had been 511111ng
around. slid how many bags of
treated spring, grain was Wait-
ing In by were, Fertilizer
doestt't take kdail,y to a a long
spell of damp weather and
treated grain ie no use as feed
for ehirkens i1 it should hap-
pen that it can't be used for
seeding. And yet ever since
January, by press and radio,
farmers have been urged to "or-
der fertilizer now . . treat your
grain early and be ready for the
spring seeding rush." What rush
— can you tell me?
Now if the word 'rush" were
used in cotmeciion with sub-
division construction work we
could understand, even though a
rush job seems as inadvisable
in building as it does on the
land. Basements are scooped out.
A heavy downpour of rain in-
variably follows, and yet next
thing we know cement is being
pouried in. Didin't there used to
be an idea that the earth had
to 'settle" before 'cement was
used? And isn't the term "solid
brick house" a little misleading
when the walls. are only two
bricks thick? We just wonder
how `solid" a modern solid brick
house can be. Many of the older
houses, some of them past the
century nark, are from four to
six bricks thick. Not that I
would suggest modern houses
should be four bricks thick. At
the present level of construction
costs that would mean even a
five -room bungalow would run
to about $40,000! And after all
people seem to be quite happy
with what they are getting ---
convenient, compact dwelling
units. And I don't think young
couples need to worry too much.
Times change so rapidly .
people move around, so that a
house very rarely becomes a
permanent home. Something like
the mad -hatter's teaparty
and when the diners wanted a
clean plate, they moved on. So
it is with houses and home-
owners.
Speaking of moving around
... isn't it wonderful our Queen
and h er family has arrived
home safe and sound? I am sure
we are all very much relieved,
especially after the threat at
Gibraltar.
"Hot Dogs" Now
On Sate in Spain
American air power continues
to grow. At the moment it occu-
pies well over a thousand air
bases. In Europe alone, GI. air-
men strung out from East Anglia
to Greece, muster a force 380,-
000 strong. In Saudi Arabia, bases
lie strategically close to Russia's
precious oilfields fringing Batum
and Baku.
The latest country to admit
G.I, bomber crews and mainten-
ance stalls in return for valu-
able trading concessions, is Spain,
Here G.I,'s are moving into four
major bases and some subsidi-
ary airfields.
Spaniards view excitedly and
w i t h commercial anticipations
their new shirt -dangling, crew-
cut guests. Palma's chief news-
paper now runs a daily column
in American speech. Shopkeepers
are marketing their stocks in dol-
lars. And American mineral wa-
ter and rye whisky are already
highly price d. Flashing -eyed
senoritas know that the greeting
"Hi-ya Bud" may be the pass-
words to romance.
On
e Palma rale proprietor,
anxious to cash in on this new
"invasion," has posted a notice
which says, "Welkum to our
Amerikan Allies. Open till 5
0.153. 25 beautiful girls to choice.
Beer and Stakes. Slot Dorgs too."
U.S. air bases stretch to the
farthest north. About the most
inhospitable places lie in Alaska
and the Aleutian .Islands,
Maybe G!,1. language will be
the • global tongue much sooner
than Queen's English!

braved biting winds to tramp
From her cottage home at Lien-

There, with a few pennies in

Society has delivered hope and

Grantee Of A
Lifetime
A small island off the coast of
Mexico, San Benedicto, last year
suffered a volcanic eruption that
wiped out almost every vestige
of life. But it has given botanists
the chance of more than a life-
time,
In 1925 the University of Cali-
fornia had made a full study of
the vegetation on San Benedicto.
Then there were eleven different
species of plants covering the
whole of the island including
five-foot tall grasses. After the
volcanic eruption, only two hun-
dred plants in all were still liv-
ing on the three -miles long
island, and these represented
only five of the eleven previous-
ly thriving species.
Now the natural process of re -
vegetation can be studied. Will
the shores be the first part of
the island to grow green? 31 so,
it will mean that seeds washed
in by the sea are the main factor
in bringing plant life to the
island,
But if higher land on hills and
above the - cliffs become green
again fust it will mean that
wind and birds bring seeds more
readily than the waves.
After Billy's first day at se11004

teacher."
"Why?" asked his mother.
"Well, she asked me what one
and one made and I had to tell
her."
