"Dear Anne Hirst: I want to
do the right thing, and l hope
you can tell me what is : My
wife has left me and gone back
to her mother's. We've been
married 12 months, and expect
a baby soon. She is 18, I'm 21.
"This is the second time she
left. The first was because of a
little misunderstanding, and I
went to her and straightened
things out. Now I've made up my
mind and shan't ask hex to re-
turn. If she doesn't return of her
own free will, I'm going to sue
for divorce.
"Before I married I had lots
of fun with girls; I told my wife
I was a flirt, she knew it. I
couldn't stand being home all
the time after we married, so
I'd go out with some fellow just
for fun — not to chase women.
But my wife said I was running
around, and she really got jeal-
ous.
"Everybody knows me here;
I'm always xneeting friends. My
wife says they were my sweet-
hearts! We quarrel all the time,
We're living with my parents,
by the way, and she doesn't like
them. What do you think?
DISGUSTED"
* I think it is time you learn-
* ed to behave like a husband
* instead of a bachelor.
* Many a young husband finds
* marriage dull at times, but
* few I've known are so dis-
* contented the first year. When
* they go places they take their
* wives along, visiting friends,
* movies, or dancing. You and
* your wife probably did be-
* fore y o u married. W h y
" shouldn't you now? , 11 is a
* gross insult' that you clash
o about town with your boy
o friends and leave her at home
* with your parents, with whom
* you confess she is not conge-
* vial. Of course she resents
'" such neglect; no other woman
* will blame her.
* Every girl wants a grime of
* her own when she marries.
* When she must live with her
* husband's people, the least he
* can do is to give her something
* pleasant to look forward to
° when he comes home Going
* out together is almost the only
* time you two have alone. It is
* your duty to supply a change
* of scene, and some pleasure,
* for your wife. You have failed,
* miserably.
* You are no longer a brash
a youngster, living for fun. You
* are a married man with res-
* ponsibilities to your wife and
* the children you will have.
* These first few years set the
* pattern for all your future.
* Are you pleased with 't? Your
e wife isn't, and no wonder. I
* expect she believes you have
* lost all affections for her. Now,
* expecting her first baby, she
"' is especially sensitive She
° needs your tender love, and
* your companionship.
* Go get her. Apologize for all
* your thoughtlessness, a n d
* bring her home, Explain. that
* now you understand how self-
* ish you have been, and from
today on you intend to be a
a good husband to her; and a
* real father to the baby.
* You mention that your
* mother is the "sweetest per-
* son" in the world. I am sure
* she cannot approve of the way
* you are behaving now Make
* her proud of you, too, by as-
" suming the responsibilities she
'' expects of you.
* * *
When a young man marries, he
is expected to cease being a
bachelor and behave like a man
of responsibility. Unless he does,
he is apt to wreck more lives
than one ... If you have a prob-
lem, ask Anne Hirst's advice.

We hve reached the time of
fall fairs; of standard time, of
the first touch of autumn colours
in the maples and sumachs;
white frost in the morning; warm
sun at noon; cumulus clouds
drifting across a bckground of
azure blue sky and finally the
miraculously beautiful sunsets
that are so frequent at this time
of the year—sunsets which do.
not always bring "the end of 'a
perfect day" but yet, if our day
has been anything but perfect,
the breath -taking beauty of an
autumn sunset can do much to
quieten ruffled nerves --if we will
take time, even a few minutes;
of our titre, "to stand and stare."
Come to think of it, the words,
"to stand and stare," as the poet
W. H. Davis puts it, have a harsh
sound when taken out of their
context, I like better the restful',. words of Browning—
"r, There the quiet -coloured end
of evening smiles
Miles and miles .."
However, a beautiful sunset is a
joy to see no matter how, or.
by whom, it is described. The
thing is to have eyes to see it,
because, as we know, beauty is
in the eye of the beholder, or i€°
may be that more mundane
things get between our vision
and the sunset. The same applies.
to the sunrise, only,as someone
once said, poets rarely write
about the sunrise because they
are not around to see it: But the
farmer sees the sunrise—as does
his we is she is out to feed the
chickens. The trouble is a great
percentage of farm wives these
days don't go out to feed the
chickens, they are busy in the
house preparing breakfast and'
getting the children ready for
school. Milking machines and
coolers have lessened the time,
required tor early morning
chores so many farmers have
time to look after the chickens
t too—and so Mrs. Farmer misses
the lift that used tocome to her
with the invigorating fresh morn-
ing air. You know how it is —
if you hhve to go out, you go --
and enjoy it. But if it isn't neces-
sary
:g
for you to go farther than
the back kitchen door you just "
don't go—and that's all there is
to it.
Well, it was our local fair lasts'
Saturday and the :weatherm, 'r,
was kind and blessed us with r:
warm, sunny day. Rain the nigi•.t
before and rain the night after
the event, but never so much as a
drop dampened the spirits of if:a
large crowd that was scattered
over the roomy fair ground,
There were the usual harness
races but it seems to me thea
each succeeding year less ince, -
est is being taken in the races
and more and greater interest
in the livtstock exhibits. Even
those who haee no persoi,al in-
terest in cattle, pigs and sheep
like to get around the show ring
--and of cour e it is a main at-
traction for the youngsters —
once they have been wooed away
from the midway. Dairy cattle
claimed the greatest number of
entries• -Holsteins, Guernseys and
Jerseys—but there were some

A good chow of beef cattle is
more to my liking but of coarse
in a milk -shipping district dairy
cattle naturally predominate.
There was a wonderful line-up
of farm machinery and as Part-
ner and I looked it over we won-
dered how much capital would
be necessary if a farmer were
to invest in every type of high--

Chick In Wire — "Veils" modeled above look like chicken wire;
but they're the latest thing in evening accessories, designed by
the Fontana sisters of Rome, Italy. The "veil" is made of thin

fringe of tiny black beads.
display — and now considered
practically essential to good
farming. The trouble is fashions
in farm machinery vary just as
much as women's hats. For in-
stance, we bought a mower three
years ago with the newest kind
of power take -off. Now that
mower is out of date. And so it
goes.
However, in the Women's sec-
tion we did not find too much
change—except for the fact there
was more baking and less fancy
Work than usual.
Men may like modern machin-
ery but when it comes to satis-
fying the inner man they are still
old-fashioned enough to like
home -cooking. How else can one
. explain the trouble that women
go to in cultivating the culinary
art—even though it increases the
need for bicarbonate of soda?
The non-competitive display of
the various branches of the W.I.
was also very good, featuring
some of the items of a Hope
Chest—rug, quilt, pillow -cases
and iso on—as necessary today as
they were yesterday and will be
tomorrow.
Then we looked at the baby
section, and here again there
• was no evidence that "the old
order changeth". Babies, appar-
ently, still need knitted things
and smocked dresses. The only
change that I noticed was the
use of green or yellow, instead of
the traditional pink or blue.
which is rather a good idea when
you think of the mothers -to -be
who in the past have insisted on
having everything blue, and
and then found it should have
been pink! With green or yellow
you're safe because no one has
yet labelled neither colour as be-
longing to any one sex.
The same man cannot be both
friend and flatterer.

A BLUFF THAT 1UA.•clf;-EIRED
Arthur Steiner, the Vietiuese
raconteur, tell:; of the time his
good friend, Franz Lollar, the
composer of The Merry Widow,
was down on his luck. Poor but
proud, Lehar sent un underling
to pawn his watch, and warned
him, "Don't take less than a
hundred shillings, And when
you get it, fold it in an envelope
and bring it to me at the J3rist0l
bar.- If 'I'm with somebody, just
tell me, 'This comes from. the
British Ambassador with his
compliments.' " The underling
found Lehar at the Bristol some
time later and reported mourn-
fully, "The British Ambassador
sends you his compliments—but
says he can't give you more than
fifty shillings on your watch."
On Thanksgiving Day no servile
labour may be. performed, and
thanks should be offered for the
increase and abundance of His
fruits upon the face of the earth.
