"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. . . . His family think
I'm wonderful for the change in

bis mother told me not to be too
food to him. Perhaps .I have
been."

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.
End of notes , .. and of space,
A man in Green Island, N.Y.,
dropped a paper bag holding $270
which scattered about the street.
When he: counted the amount
which passers-by picked up for
