DISCOURAGED WIFE"
'I` You are not being unfair to
* resent your husband's continuous
i1' Sunday absences from home; it
* is the only day that he can spend
* with you and the baby, and you
* miss him. It would seem natural
that lie ask someone in the family
* who has a car to drive his mother
'i` to camp now and then. The prob-
* lent, though, should solve itself.
It isn't likely that his brother
* will stay in camp mnucli longer,
* is it?
* With a small child to raise, you
e cannot get out often to see gout•
4` friends, or go to a movie, 'fele-
" vision, however exciting, keeps
* you . indoors, where you have
* spent most of the day. You need
* change of scene and people, a
* wider social life, and diversified
• amusements; then you would
3' have pleasant memories to live
* with when you must be alone.
4' It takes imagination for a bus-
* band to picture how dull his
* wife's routine can be. He should
* set aside 'a couple of evenings a
* week to take you to other places
* than to see his family. If you
'^ are forced to continue like this,
* you'll lose track of your own
'^ friends, and other contacts you
* will always need to keep your
* mind active and your affections
* alive.
* If your husband must spend
• every Sunday away from home
* for any:•lengtln of time, why don't
* you breite°your• friends anyhow?
4' It won't he as much fun as haw-
* ing hint there, but it will at least
provide you with the stimulation
* you need.
* In this- in-law situation, try to
* get on more pleasantly with hint,
* I understand how it has upset
* you, and become almost an ob-
* session; but it should never have
• reached the point where he be-
* carne defiant.
* During these troubled times,
* we all have to sacrifice our de -
4` sires to some degree ,and per-
* haps this burden is the one you
* must carry for a while, Keep
* your husband in good humor
* when he is home, so he will feel
• more eager to be with you. And
* when he finally understands that
* you need to get out more eve -
flings, he will be more agreeable
about taking you.
In some familiess these situa-
tions become serious almost over-
night, when a wife Feels that her
husband is taking advantage of
* her good nature. The trick is to
* make compromises now and then,
* so the matter does not become an
* issue between you. •
* *
Is your wife unhappy today 'be-
cause you don't take her out as
often as she needs a change. Few
men could bear the monotonous
routine of a household patiently .
Think about her ,and be more con-
siderate. Anne Hirst has ideas to
help, if you write her at Box 1, 123
Eighteenth St., New Toronto, Ont.

"I'll bet you 10 dollars," a man
said to a boastful athlete, "that 1
can wheel something in a wheel-
barrow from one street lamp to
the next and you aren't able to
wheel it back."
The local champ louked.hint over.
Ile thought of bags of cement,
bricks and old iron, and concluded
that whatever the stranger could
wheel, ire could do better.
"Bet taken," he said.

If 1 want an extra dose of fan
snail 1 'know how to get it! Just
let ane make one incorrect state-
ment and along tlte_v come -let-
ters, papers and magazines, to
prove that wliat I said was wrong!.
All 'right, all right -I'll admit 1
made a ;tuistake and ant now suit-
able gowned in sackcloth and ash-
es. And of course 1 don't mind be-
ing corrected one bit. After all,
we are none of us infallible, are
tve: If any other readers have
corrections or criticism to make
regarding this column just send
them along -this columnist accepts
brickbats just as readily as. bou-
quets -it is all part of my job.
And 1101V in case von 'wonder
wlsat all this preamble is .about,
here is the story.
Two or three weeks ago I men-
tioned my mother's methods in
dealing with colds when We were
children and T mentioned one pat-
ent rough medicine that sire dosed
ns with. 1 even mentioned the
trade -name, but followed it up with
this statement !•'i think I am safe
in mentioning this trade -name as I
haven't seen it mentioned for years
so I imagine it is .now extinct".
That was my undoing. The cough
medicine --.I dare not mention the
mime again -is. apparently, still
very much 1n existence. as was evi-
dent by the papery both English
and Canadian that were ecut to me'
with the advertisement •clearly
marked. Well, I am sorry I slipped
up ort that one --and it surprises me
as I ant rather good at noticing. ad-
vertisements -so often they are odd
and interesting. For instance; in
one English papers -with the cough
medicine nt:n•ked--there was also
another advertisement in connec-
tion will the Festival of Britain,
and slit/wing a village scene which
1 knew "c, well as it was taken
from Suffolk. my lieme district.
Believe me, ani tlriug was wel-
come last Wet .; that helped dis-
tract one's a.ttcntion from the
dismal wcarller we were having.
Rhin, fog, more rain and then fog
again. What 1. had planned would
have taken me out to the country
on several trips. ,Needless to say
I didn't snake an of them. .1t -was
CV ell all ordeal to go cimtn• town
as they are still busy with a 'new
sewerage lob. 1 hill the ktain
51 111.1 is torn no and the shovel
is still in operation. On one sick
tht! street it is impossible to
park and tate other side has "310
Parking" signs most of the way,
;.Well, 1 suppose walking. is good
exercise but when it is walking
through mud and slush with' an
armful of parcels it becomes exer-
cise plus. But that's the way it
goes -for every convenience there
is always a period of inconven-
ience before yon get it. That is
so evert in our own homes, I re-
member what it was like when
we had the furnace • put in -and
the hydro, and the water system.
With all these jobs the house is
more or less torn up from the at-
tic to cellar. Is it worth it? Well,
you know the answer to that one.
Of course this weather put . an
end to any enthusiasm one might
have for housecleaning. It killed
mine anyway. .But still,, there is
always preliminary work that can
be •cl•onc if you retake yourself do
it. And I have been doing just
that,' In fact 1 have been abso-
lutely ruthless in my "redding up"
operations. he thought; cane to
me when trouble came. to our fam-
ily a few weeks ago . . . now if
anything -should happen to mile
what a job. I was leaving behind
for someone else to do. . , . going •
over papers. letters and all kinds
of personal stuff, with no one
knowing whether there was any-
, thing of value in theta or not. It
is a terrilic job, even for me. There
are certain things that .I want to
keep as long as 1 ani lrere---yet
they would be of no interest to
any`onc else, not even my own
family. So I have put them in a
box, properly labeled, so now .the
box can be- picked up and burnt
as is.
Maybe you thirilz this is rather
a morbid and depressing topic. It
isn't really --except for the fact
that we are all inclined to shy away
from realities ,which is the worst
kind of selfishness. For instance,
there are plenty of women who
know very well that it is only
right and proper that husbands
should make a will vet a lot of
thou don't kraow whether one has
been made or not --and they don't
like to ask for fear of what "he"
r'ay think! A lawyer, speaking
over the radio last week, gave as
a rough estimate, that in his opin-
ion about. 505 of persons pass
away without leaving a will. Sonne

LESSON
By Rev. R. B. Warren, 33.A.,B.D.
Memory Selection: Open thou
mine eyes, that I _may behold won-
drous things out of thy law.
Psalm 119:18
Four books of the Bible -Exodus,
I,eviticus, Numbers and i)ettteron-
orny tell the story of God's deal-
ings with Israel during the life of
Moses. Truly it was a period of
miracles. The ten plagues, the
crossing of elle Red Sea, the manna,
water from the rock, the defeat
of the Anlaiekites while the amus
of Moses were held up in inter-
cession -these and others denlotl-
strated to the nations that Israel's
God was almighty.
From the seventy souls who
went to Egypt in the days of Jos-
eph, a large nation neintbering
about one thousand souls had
grown. They were brought out
of Egyptian bondage under the
leadership of Moses. For forty
years they wandered in the wilder-
ness. All the Adults who left
Egypt except Joshua and Caleb
died because of their' faithlessness
and murmuring, (Numbers 14)
The experiences of the people were
meant to serve as an example to us,
1. Cor. 10.11)
At Mount Sinai s God gave the
law through Moses. The famous
ten commandments still forret the •
basis of our code of moral law. An
elaborate system of worship and
offerings was inaugurated. This, in
a marvellous way, prepared the ,
people for the coming Messiah.
By type and figure, the meaning of
atonement was 'set forth. When
Jesus Christ died on the cross of
Calvary He fulfilled the types 'and
shadows. No more.offering for sin
was required. Jesus paid it all.
Finally, a new generation en-
camped on the border of the
promised land.' Moses,' now 120
years old, blessed the new leader,
Joshua, who was to conduct the
people into .the land. 'Moses had
been impatient at the wa.tets of
strife (Numbers 20:13, Psalm 106:-
32) and hence was not permitted to
enter. You winenjoy studying this
period. Through it all we see God's
power at work. The brazen serpent
on ..the pole, the sin offering and
the High Priest all foreshadowed
the Christ. You connot understand
the New Testament, and particu-
larly the Epistle to the Hebrews,
without knowing this period.
"Don't faint, sir. They're. just -
dolls, Your brother's idea of a
•
timely joke!"
STRANGE!'
A well-known comedian had just
trade Ids after-dinner speech at at
gathering of notables'When he
lied seated himself an eminent law-
yer rose, and standing with hands
deep in his trousers pockets, a habit
of his, he laughiugly asked: "Doesn't
it strike the cotltpany as a little
unusual that a professional hurnour-
ist should be funny?"
'When the laughter had subsid-
ed, the comedian drawled: "Doesn't
it strike the company as a little
unusual that a lawyer should have
his hands in his own pockets?„
