"Dear Anne Hirst: k'o.i nearly two years my husband and I have enjoyed a very happy mar- riage. It was built on trust and love. . . But now I feel that 1 de not trust him. "During the season, he and a friend went hunting regularly. I found that, one week end, they dated girls! Naturally I was an- gry and jealous, and let my hus- band know it. Lately he seems overly -attentive to single girls; we quarrelled and he has prom- ised he will never try . to date again, but I don't feel 1 can be- lieve him. Should I let him have Pr' couple of nights off to go hunt - big again? I'm afraid to. "He trusts me; he has no rea- son not to. He's good to me, but A can't rid myself of this feeling of doubt. . . .

ONICLE 1G•` (Svd;yc1ottt-.s. 0 C:lrur'd.a Sometiinee—when 1 Mink of it —I make a few notes during the week about things I night like to mention in this column. Just now I looked over last week's notes—and I laughed. They made sense to me but I wondered what anyone else would make out. of them. dere they are. "Home and Country . . . Frances Shelley Wees . . . tractor radio . hydro -wind." Well, let us take. thein one by one and see if they make sense. "Horne and Country" , I jotted that down after attending our last Women's Institute meet- ing eeting at which I received my copy of the curreat• issue of Home and Country. And Why wouldn't I mention it? It is wonderful for W.I. members to have such a nice little magazine -for their very own. With Ethel'. Chapman -as edi- tor it has improved tremendously —and such improvement was long overdue. But I am not say-. ing that in a critical sense—the old II. and C. was as good as it could be under the circumstances. Time and experience are neces- sary for the publication of even• a small magazine . and, until last year, I have an idea that Home and Country was anybody's baby. But now it has an editor al] its own. Actually, there is no reason why this magazine should not be interesting and informative. Cer- tainly there can be no lack of material from which to fill its pages. W.I. Branches .are now found in almost every district in Ontario and from each one of them stories of worthwhile achievement are bound to emerge from time to time. It is an in- centive to every branch to know what other branches are doing and in Rome and Country we are given that information, to say nothing of District rallies and conventions. Funny, how things work out. I am quite sure many readers of the Farmer's Magazine were quite upset when Miss Chapman resigned from the staff of that publication. And then came news of her appointment to Home and Country. "Wonderful , . . we haven't lost her after all!" I heard that said so often. In fact, as W.I. members, we now feel that Miss Chapman definitely be- longs to us. A better choice could not have been. made. Born and raised on a farm Miss Chapman has an awareness of, and an in- terest in, the problems of country folk. And of course, she has al- ways been keenly interested in the work of the W.I. So .I am Smash Coffin To Steal jewels Thieves who broke into a dere- lict Norman church, at Wolfham- cote, near Daventry, England, smashed a coffin in a family vault in a vain search for jewels that might have been buried with a body 112 years ago. They wrench - i ed away the marble tablet to the vault and tore off the head of the coffin, throwing the skull into an adjoining unused grave, Next day the 'vault floor was found littered with bones, Grave robberies are rare now- adays, but they used to be com- mon. It's on record that at Scot - house, near Clones, gold seekers forced their way through stone walls behind which lay the coffin of a ninety -four-year-old man who had died sixty-three years earlier. The old man, said rumour, was immensely wealthy and had made his boffin himself, leaving instruc- tions that all his gold should be buried with him. He had been in the habit of lying in the coffin to "see whether it fitted him," - and had told his servants that it must be "roomy." But the would-be thieves were disturbed and missed the treasure. Held Back By Bayonets In a cemetery near Geneva the family tomb of M. Jean Bart- holomi was opened in 1923 for the burial of his ten -year-old son. The gravediggers found that the body of Monsieur Jean's first wife—who died eighteen years earlier had been stripped of the precious jewels with which she • had been buried. Several attempts were made to rob the grave in Brooklyn Ceme- tery of James Jones, seaman, after 0 story that -it contained a casket of Russian Crown Jewels had been circulated. The jewels were said to be worth one million pounds. r So persistent was the story that it was finally decided, some years ago, to open the grave officially. Would-be spectators were kept back at the cemetery entrances by armed guards with fixed bay- onets. But no jewels were found. In the days of body -snatchers, many relatives of the dead em- ployed armed guards to watch sure we are all very glad to have her as editor of Home and s• Country. Frances Shelley Wees . , . a .remarkable woman. Have you read any of her books or serials? She is a most prolific writer. I 'was privileged to hear her speak at 'a meeting of, the Canadian. 'Author,s last week. She lives on e farm; is a • mother and grand- mother; does most of her own week; entertains and baby-sits and :.yet finds time to turn out thousands of words each year, although she says three or four , iro;eeks during the year is all the time she spends in actual writing, The :rest of the time is thinking and planning what her next book shall be-. One time she started Wilting a book on a Tuesday and finished it the following Friday. 'Oh, for a gift like that! Her record for a single day's work is 18,000 'words—and that's a lot of `.writing. "But", said Mrs. Wees, "mitten I, write, I do nothing else -but write." How she manages to do• this she did not explain. Tractor -radio . the next on my Bets I jotted down that note '• while listening to the radio. An eetiseenent stated that .,farm- ex,z can ma* have radios installed on their tractors . good re- ception' and powerful enough to. be heard. above the hum of the tractor. Said the announcer— "Order one now and insure de- livery before spring ploughing begins." Well ... how crazy can people get?. It was hard enough in the past to attract the atten- tion of a tractor -driver, 'and, if one had a message to deliver, to make oneself heard. Now, if one has to compete with a radio as well • . . words fail me! Wind . hydro—well, if you shared the wind that came our way last week you will under- stand why I made a note of that. B t it didn't bring any snow. In faPt the ground around here has been covered only once this wf tter: and then the snow was gone. again in two days. Saturday morning,. just as we were getting up, a blue flash lit up the sky. Thirty seconds later the power was off. It stayed off until 8 arm, —by that time most of the cows hadbeen hand -milked. One more sameile of the inconvenience of coniteniences. But oh, the joy when lights flash on again; milk- ing machine begins to hum and the radio to play. It almost equals tine"thrill of having hydro newly instilled. Perhaps without these interruptions we would fail to. realize how lucky we are.
