I honestly feel the whole house is haunted by her ghost, and I seem to be = regarded as an interloper by his relatives. I am sure my husband loves me, but I. am also sure he has no .idea how I am hurt by his daily references to her. It is almost more than I can stand. "Everything in the house re- minds him of her, of course, and I understand that. must he describe why and where they bought an antique chair, and how much she loved it?" Is it fair that clothes she wore hang in my closets and picces of jewelry are still in her box on my dressing-table? Our evenings usually are spent in reminiscences of trips they took and wonderful people they visited including her close friends, to whom he still writes. "I seem to resent this more as time passes, perhaps because I took it for granted we were to But why - " FOR SHINING HOURS--Luxurious theater jacket in lustrous silver leath®r features imitation chin- chilla cuffs.

"Dear Anne Hirst: 1'd like to give my idea on married men who seek companionship away About a'year ago I met a Jonely, discarded hus- band: I sympathized with him, we went ofit often together, 'and. (of course) I fell in love. Our friendship wasn't cheap, it was wholesbme and dignified. We planned our future, "All my time, all my love, were wasted , . . he went back to that wife who tossed him out of his home whenever she pleased .

CAT STUFF The old comedy team of Moran and Mack had a cat routine that always won a solid laugh. Moran claimed that he owned fifteen cats, and therefore drilled fifteen - holes in his dining room door so he could get rid of them when he desired. "But one hole would be enough," Mack pointed out. "The cats could exit one by one." "Nothing doing," concluded Mo~ ran firmly. "When I aa "scat' I mean 'scat.'" A pedigreed and very expen- sive cat was shipped from Phila- delphia by 'overnight truck to a purchaser in ~New York. The driver later confessed to Michael Gross, the poster artist, that while he was bumping along the cobblestones on Eleventh Ave- "nue, the- jarring loosened the cage in which the cat was con- fined. With one mighty leap he was off, high-tailing it up the avenue. Shouts of onlookers alerted the driver, who instituted an intensive cat-hunt, but to no avail. : All he found was a scurvy- looking scavenger in an alley. Figuring that all was lost any- how, he collared the unsavory specimen, shoved him into the cage, and delivered him to the purchaser. Here's the pay-off. To this day the purchaser, evi- "dently highly satisfied with his alley cat, has never registered a single word of protest! The late Al Jolson had a cat which he told his friends was worth $5000. Came the day when ~ he decided to sell the animal, and the skeptical friénds .waited eagerly for him to return from the pet shop and disclose the selling price. "Did you get the $5000?" they jeered. "Certainly," answered Al. "Did you think I was kidding you?" "Show us the dough," demanded the friendS™™ "Well," admitted Al, "this pet shop fellow happened to be a little short of cash so he gave me these two $2500 dogs in- stead." TOO LATE Humorist Stephen Leacock had a long string of college de- grees, usually addressed him as "Doc- tor." The purser of an Atlantic liner, who had heard him thus referred to for three days, step- ped up to him one evening and said, "Doctor, could I prevail upon you to examine the star of last year's Ziegfeld Follies? She slipped on the promenade deck and I'm afraid she has sprained her hip." Leacock re- ported ruefully later, "I rushed there like a startled gazelle, but alas! two doctors of divinity had beaten me to it." and Canadian associates "| SEPARATED -- Movie comic Dean Martin was helping out in the high jinks at the Hollywood premiere of "The Desperate Hours" when he got a phone call from Palm Springs. It was his wife, former cover girl Jeanne Biggers, with word that their legal separation had gone through. Martin says "neither of us has any plans for a divorce." They are shown here during less desperate hours. 4 This is Thanksgiving Day A big day for Canadian families. I imagine we are just as thank- ful as most people for 'the bounty. of the earth" but yet it is one season that we have never - made a point of -celebrating-- that is to the point of having Thanksgiving dinner and all the trimmings. Partner and I; were invited out to a .turkey dinner but we preferred staying at home to travelling the high- ways, crowded with slap-happy motorists.

The apple crop this year - is wonderful. In fact, when you look back, it has been a good fruit year all round. I suppose most housewives, like myself, are finding it quite a job to lo- cate even one empty sealer. I am writing this £olumn from a sunny south room upstairs. We have not yet started using the furnace. because we find the south side of the house, with the sun streaming in, is warm enough, while the kitchen stove keeps the north and west sides 'of the house quite comfortable. After all why bother fussing around with a furnace until you have to. So long as the furnace is all ready to go at a minute's notice, that is all that-is neces- sary. It" will get plenty of use later on. Every time I go down cellar I look at the. bulging bins... . it doesn't seem possible we shall use all that coal before warm. weather comes around again. In their new three-storey house (new to them, that is) - Dee and Arthur have a stoker- furnace and they, think they are going to like it better than the oil furnace they had in the other house -- more economical too. So many ways to heat a house -- and most people look- ing for a heating system that ensures the least possible amount _ of work. A far cry from the days when the majority of houses -- country homes, anyway, were heated with only the kitchen range and a pot-bellied stoye in the "parlor" -- and perhaps a box-stove. or Quebec heater in the dining-room. Those were the days big a pile: of dry wood was our greatest preferably hickory, oak or ma- ple" -- remember the lovely smell that came from burnihg hickory: bark? Occasionally the housewife would be faced with. nothing but green elm or apple', wood. And then the fire would. smoke and smoulder, and the oven wouldn't get hot, and there would be frequent trips to the chipyard so as to get the " potatoes boiled for dinner. Too many chips and sometimes the stovepipes would catch; fire Ah, -the farmer « treasure -- 'will eventually have to be work-- ed out. At present wage-earn- ers are pretty well looked after. But what protection is there for and" his family- True, they may subscribe to an independent form of hospitali- zation but farm people seldom go to hospital if "it can be avoided and hospital insurance doesn't cover the cost of illness. in the home. And, as everyone knows, a person can run up big medical expenses without ever' going near a hospital. Except "on a farm, this creates a situa-: instead tion whereby patients, of staying at home, go to hos- pital®as the only mpans of col- lecting insurance. "It is one reason why our hospitals are over-crowded. A national health scheme to assist with the fin- ancial home-treatment of pa- tients would 'be a 'step in the right direction. Two years ago, when Partner broke his collar- bone there was naturally a big doctor's bill but not one cent could we get from insurance as Partner was not in the hospital. He felt he should stay home and keep an eye on things. There must be hundreds of sim- ilar cases. 1 remember one time, during the depression a doctor said this: "The rich can afford to pay the poor are look- ed after, but the middle- class person pays his account without assistance, often as a result of selling cattle he should keep or raising a mortgage on the farm." ; gu, Well, Health ~Insurance be- longs to the future.

Gone Stale August Bhiment Caivicite epi-- cure and member of New York- and Newport's old "400," was once a guest of Robert Louis Stevenson in San Francisco. Stevenson took him to a certain restaurant off Market Street, and said, "An amazing feature of this place is that no waiter is --ever permitted to say that any dish whatever is lacking from the menu. Ask for a slice of the moon and the. waiter will sol- emnly march off to the kitchen to get it for you. Then he'll come back and tell you solemnly they're just out of It." "Ill try them out," laughed Belmont, and ordered a double order of roast behemoth, rare. The waiter jotted down the ord- er, only to report a moment later, "I'm very sorry . plenty of 'behemoth," said the waiter sharply, "but the truth is it's all so well done IT know you wouldn't like it." . a A i A A Old Style 'Delferd Clark, one of the direc- tors of the Ford Foundation, de- scribes the visit of a delegation to the home offices of one of the country's- biggest manufacturers of business machinery.
