Yester- day I was talking with a little old over 80 who said that her daughters often wished she would get a permanent wave. "But I don't think I could sit that long," she said. "And why would you?" I asked. ®Anyone with soft, wavy hair. like yours doesn't need a pert ent." "Oh, but I put it up in curlers every night," she said, and laughed at my surprise. Imagine--eighty- edd--and all that patience! Bit then the little old lady told me a better one. She said a friend of hers still: wears her hair in ringlets and puts it up herself every night, end makes it into curls every day. And that little old lady is 93! BE TE The foregoing was written Satur- day. This morning--Monday morn- fng--]1 didn't spend much time thinking of little old ladies either with or without curls; But the thought did cross my mind that I could write a pretty good story on "What does a Farmwife do that a City wife doesn't have to"--if you get what 1 mean. Yes, and I really "think today would supply a pretty good answer to that question, First [ should tell you that son Bob is away for the week-end. There didn't seem any reason why he shouldn't go--the weather being what it is made getting on the land impossible. And of course a farmer must always take his holidays in bad weather. No basking in the sun for him--sunny days are work- ing. days. So Partner and 1 and the chores were here to ourselves. Sunday was uneventful -- and of course--wet. or * * * Monday morning was even better, so we did not feel in any particular rush. Of course we knew that even: "if we only attended to our chores, they alone would. provide us with enough "work for most of the day. But on a farm you never can tell . . . five minutes after he had gone to the barn Partner was back again. "Calf the vet," he said to me. "that | red heifer is Davise trouble. Put you had iy come to the barn." So 1 called the vet.--and I rather fancy I got him out of bed. How- ever, as I went to the barn with the hot water he was coming up the lane. Naturally 1 thought my services could now be dispensed with. But no--thé vet. took one look at the heifer and called to me --""Don't go away, Mrs. Clarke, it will take three of us for this job." id * * * So that was that--and there was nothing for it but to forget my natural squeamishness at what might be required of me. At long last the heifer was delivered of a calf--but the calf was dead. It was too bad, but it couldn't be helped. It was just one of those things-- an abnormal birth -- which will happen occasionally in the best of well regulated barnyard families. But it threw the whole' day off schedule. We were late with the milk, late with the chores, late with breakfast---and certainly -slopping around in the mud didn't help things at all. But the other calves were not worrying. We have several that are being raised for veal. They are taken back 'to their mothers twice a day for a meal but the rest of the time they are kept tied up. Leading them back and forth is remarkably * good .exercise, I can assure you. The antics of those calves is. something. to marvel 'at. "to boil and" "then" - By Gwendoline P. Clarke \ * skirt with How anything so young can be so strong! This morning Partner was taking one back to its pen while I took another--or rather it took me, Presently I heard Partner say-- "Darn you--- can't you .step 'any- _ where but on' my feet!" » * * * . Later in the morning the trucker arrived to take one of the little 'acrobats off to market. I watched it go and regretted that anything so full of life must be sacrificed before veal steak can be fed to ' hungry people or money handed over to provide us with the wheré-- with-allto purchase the necessities of life. ' Of course in between trips to the barn I was attending to my chicks. They should be running out but the weather forbids. Since they cannot get to the grass the best I can do is cut grass and take it to them, And do they love it. Which re- minds me--I have yet to make a trip to town to get more feed for my biddies. Three-ninety for a bag - of feed and it lasts five days. Pretty soon it will take two bags a week to feed them. There isn't much change from the weekly egg cheque when one has chicken feed to buy. * * * By the way--and in connection with the weather--the Globe and Mail must be developing a sense of humour. This morning, up in the corner where it gives the weather probs. it said--""Wash Day --wet and cold." : [CANADIAN STYLE | Printed pretiiiess for the lady- in-waiting!

We, have noticed one young fellow, several mornings of late, sitting beside the bus stop, with a book on his knees trying to catch up' at the last minute, * 0» * While we are near the subject of graduation dances, we might men- tion that several of the high schools now have their own live bands and have no further worries about who is to supply the music. One of those towns that boasts its own band is Brockville. © Bruce Ker and his seven solid senders are making a- name for themselves, not only in Brockville, but in many of the towns in the eastern section. An- other eastern outfit made up of teen-agers is Murray Harris and company who are constantly in de- mand wherever teeners are dancing. Up north at Owen Sound a group of young fellows, with a girl bass fiddle and girl pianist under the direction of Lewis MacDonald, are getting around plenty. This band is strictly on the side of "sweet music" and the leader says that sweet music is much in demand up there. Not to be outdone by the smaller centres throughout the pro- vince, Toronto has an up-and-com- ing band under the leadership of a young fellow named Don Hackett of Western Tech. Don' organized this band last July and since that time they have been very busy fill ing engagements in and around the city. by * * Ft & "Well, that's interesting news for * young people," --gaid--the editor: "Now avhat's this stuff here?" ~ Many of the gals who have taken a fancy to the jewel-specked sun glasses" will- be unhappy to know that sun glasses should not be worh at all, unless an eye specialist has specially advised them, Indiscrimi- nate use of sun glasses tends to lower the tolerance of the eyes for light, The trouble is--and we quote this from the Department of National * Health, Ottawa--"Sun- glasses should not change 'the hues of natural colours."

Although rhubarb is often canned without sugar, the home economists of the Consumer Section, Dominion Department of Agriculture, say that a little sugar gives better results, in colour and flavour, than none. They recommend using a medium syrup; that is a syrup made with 1 cup sugar to 1 cup water, The rhubarb should be thoroughly wash- ed, then cut in l-inch pieces. The cold pack 'method s preferred for rhubarb. Pack the jars, cover with boiling syrup leaving a headspace of half an inch, Process in the boiling water bath pint sealers lo minutes, quart sealers 15 minutes. If an oven with automatic heat control is used, pints are processed 20 minutes and quarts 25 minutes, After numerous experiments the Consumer Section has found that the use of tin cans for rhubarb is not as satisfactory as sealers, and that only enamel tins should be used. .

Probably our modern hostel- ries do not include the dandelion on the bill of fare, But the world is the worse for it, for a lot of people are losing out on some good, cheap eating pleasure. >To get the dandelion at its best, it is necessary to take to the fields long before the blossoms appear, The blossoms may bring joy to the poet, but they add nothing to the eating qualities of the weed. Loosen the earth around the root of the dandelion with a dull kitchen knife, Scrape a little of the earth off the white root and toss the dandelion in a tin pail.

Dandelions are at their best boiled with pork rind and served with vinegar, The result is a dish tliat has a good tangy flavor with just a taste of tartness that the commercial greens 'cannot produce.
