Never having had to observe a family routine, -your husband has no idea how his thoughtlessness upsets yours, If there is to be order in the house, a wife has to follow a convenient schedule. If her husband interferes, it. is bound fo be upset--to say nothing of acold or spoiled dinner to fol- low. Explain this to your hus- band, reminding him that his business. requires 'a routine and running a house in an or- derly way is a" wife's business. Ask him to _set a convenient hour for his dinner, and try to be on time for it. Don't make an issue of it," but let him know that you can- not -run' your household prop- perly without his cooperation. I'm sure all he needs is your mentioning it. 3 Ld | hatte 1h hd Trini td had hd > * Many a man loses faith in him- 'self, but so long as his wife be- lieves in him he keeps, on going.

This order was, however, not strictly enforced, and eventually . the king fixed the length of the pikes according to rank, were allowed: to wear Royalty 26-inch pikes, the aristocracy half that length, and all others were limit- ed to six and a half inches.

HRON FE FGiNGERFARM Gwendoline D Clarke The wind was howling around this house yesterday at forty miles an hour -- and we didn't enjoy it one bit -- especially as wé had company from Islington, Niagara Falls and Toronto. We _don't- go in for half measures around here--either we have no visitors at all or we have sev- eral at one time. The same thing is likely to happen mext week-- emd. I was quite amused last Saturday. I met my sister off the ing: train -- in a pea- soup fog + which was not amus- ing. At $llght I met the Hamil- --ton-bus" bus at.f20 and took my sister to the train at 8.30 p.m. It is a "1. good thing Partner doesn't drive the car else how would he get his chores and milking done? My sister gave us an éxample of one of those queer quirks of fate, too stgange to happen in fiction but ch occur so fre- quently in real life. Sister K. is working at the Parliament Build- ings, in an office that deals with the issuing of licences and per- mits, such as a mechanic's li- cence. Last week she was busily opening the applications and suddenly found herself reading her own nephew's renewal ap- plication for his shovel opera-: tor's licence. In other words it _ was from our son Bob. There-are nine 'other girls in that office and thousands. of = applications come in every day so you see it was quite a coincidence that the _one_ from Bob should come to her desk. (Excuse me a minute while I remove Mitchie-White from my typewriter. A kitten on top of it playing -with the keys doesn't' help a bit. And, since I have been interrupted I might as well go out and feed the hens.) Well, here we are again -- chickens fed and K Mitchie. and Honey left outside to work off some of their surplus energy. It is. a grand morning, cold and still, Very different from yester- day and far less dangerous. Yes- terday morning, just as I was turning away from the barn door, a sudden extra strong gust of wind almost took me over the edge: of the steep dump. Queer, 'when you think of_ it, how the things that don'it happen -con- tinue to bother you. I managed to regain my balance yesterday, and I didn't go Over the dump, and yet, for quite*awhile, think- ing about it bothered me quite a bit. I had visions of myself lying there helpless, with a broken leg. or a broken 'neck maybe, and no way of making Partner hear above the 'whir- ring of . the milking machines.

I don't think he suffered any nervous reaction! Sometimes a chance in this column brings forth in- teresting 'little stories from its readers. Remember a few weeks ago I was away overnight and one of our visitors who looked after things in my absence said: on my return -- "Next time you go away take .your kitten with you --he missed you so much he "was a' regular nuisance." Well, as a result of that remark along ° came this interesting story from _ . a reader. This is what she says -- "Some years ago I had a friend--'who 'was very fond of dogs. She had a very cute little dog 'herself, pure white but of many: varieties. One day my friend went to-town and left the. . dog with me. She was gone all ----day-and-when-she- returned---the- dog would not go to her for for quite awhile. When he did . he growled and growled just as if he were scolding her for going away." Thank you, 'Mrs, E. W. for that little story and your good wishes. Since you did not give me your new address I am afraid this is the only way I can acknowledge your letter. And now for a word about ad- . vertising. Don't you think manu- facturers have queer ideas in re- gard to advertising their goods? Cereals for instance. Remember the cornflakes that had those awful faces on the outside of the package? Horrible, grotesque faces that were meant to be cut out and used as masks to amuse children! They were so awful I used to paste a piece of _ plain. green paper over the side of the box. Just to look at those faces used to turn me against my breakfast, I was on the point * of buying a different cereal when the company started advertising flatware instead. Phen there is the radio -- "Don't you touch that dial, no sitree . . ."" Naturally I shut oft the radio just as fast as I can reach it. Advertising has a great res- ponsibility these days -- it can either educate or annoy the pub- lic. But alas, so often it chooses to annoy, both by sight and sound. Are more goods sold that way? I wonder! S REALLY STIFF "There is a case," said the stu- dent of ancient history, "where a Roman engraved a curse on a slab of stone and sent it to an enemy----"" ' "Sent him a stiff letter, eh?"
