Your disagreement with her father gave her that, and she took it. You must find out why her affection for you has de- creased. The past few years you may have been complete- ly happy in your marriage, but your wife wag not. You may have been so engrossed in your career or with the problems you metnion that you had not been as attentive as' usual; you may have gone your own way -as many hus- bands do, oblivious to her growing restlessness. \ She may have needed more entertainment," the: active growing boy may have drain- ed her energies and-she-grew more and more dissatisfied. These summer week ends were not of her choosing, and she, may have subconsciously sented their regularity and Yoredom. I cannot know -- but she does, and it is your concern to find out the root of the trouble. i Go to her humbly and ask how you have offended her. She owes you an explanation, 'and as she gives it you will see what chance you have to regain her good will, at least; then you can prove your ré- morse 'and start all over again, If only for the sake of the boy, ask her to be gener- ous. If there-were any deeper cause for her dissatisfaction, I think you would. - have sensed it. : 1 take it for granted you have made your peace with her father; if you haven't, don't lose another day. You you know. Older men &re often more lenient than one's wife, and now you need his approval -to support your cause, When one has known love, life is doubly empty without it.

DRIVE WITH CARE EAN eb FAT WEAN cannot be. true to his wife, he . mw) RONICLES TGavgER FARM CHRONICLES OF Ginger Farm _Sunday was a very happy day for us. Our grandson was here for a brief visit. And such a jolly little boy. Still white and rather . | thin but with more pep than he had shown for several months. The minute he was in the house he made a bee-line for the place where we keep his toys. I think if even one were missing he would know it. But none was missing, in fact we had added a few building blocks to the small - collection -of playthings. These pleased him so much that he refused to be parted from them when it was time to go home. The dogs also came in for plenty .of attention--Rusty .and Dave sort of playing hide-and-seek - around the kitchen and dining- room. Now that Dave is coming along so well we are hoping we shall see a little more of him. . at Ginger Farm--just so long as the weather holds good. Well, that was our bright spot for the week. Other occasions were not quite so satisfactory. Johnny's heifers, Ever since last spring Johnny has had eleven yearling heifers pasturing here. -They had easy access to- water so all Partner had to do was count them every so often to make sure they were all there. Then one day last ~ week--a cold and windy day-- Johnny decided he had better load the heifers and take them home--home béing the farm he is working ten miles frorh here. . So over he came with his small truck and a hired man. But "the heifers had other ideas. Di- rectly the 'round-up' started they went completely wild. So Johnny got two. other men to help him. The result was the same--only more so. The heifers either broke down fences or jumped over them, got into a neighbour's field 'and on the whole gave the men a. real old merry chase. The heifers won out by a wide margins. So now they will probably remain in undisputed possession of the pasture until such time as a 'storm' makes them seek shelter. We have our own heifers in an- other field but they are like lambs by comparison. Strangely enough we have heard of other farmers who, this year, have had more trouble than usua rounding up young rattle, Our own barnyard problem was not heifers but our cow with the three-months-old twin cal- ves, The cow suddenly decided to get sick. So there was a ses- sion with the 'vet,' liniment to use, medicine ta give, and the calves to. wean. Now, after a week of extra attention Bossy is well on the road to recovery. The next excitement was" last Thursday night. Partner and 1 were out in the kitchen getting a 'night-cap'--hot milk and a buscuit, if you're curious. 1 sniffed ~ suspiciously--"I smell " Skunk." "Could be gas from the stave," said Partner. : "No, it isn't gas, it's skunk," "1 repeated. Both dogs, I am glad to say, were asleep by the kitch- en stove. But I remembered the woodshed door was open--could a skunk have come so close to - the" house? I opened' the kitthen door leading to the woodshed 'and in rushed--no; not a skunk, but poor Mitchie-White, What a sight! One eye completely closed, * the other, half shut and streaked with red. Mitchie ran straight to 'his milk dish. "Put him out!" said Partner--bit I noticed HE -" fortunately without any - digas- = frous result. for --instance. - make a move, "Wait, e poor thing have \a The damage is do ay." Presently, usin an "rag as protective cover: ing I picked up poor Mitchie- White and put him outsid again, hoping the cold air woul time Partner was exploring the woodshed - with- a flashlight. #- First - thing morning Mitchi¢ "was back the house. His eycs were back to normal with only a red streak down the side of his face to- mark the spot. And glory be, the odour was hardly. noticeable -- just so long as we kept him at a distance, Nearly all that day Mitchie hardly left (the 'house, "He had evidently learnt his les- son--and learnt it the hard way.

So, with the rest of the curious people, 'I went in to have a look around.

It was quite a good collection of samples. But what amused me was the delight of the lucky -first-comers. It didn't matter what was in the bag just so long as it was a give-away treat. In a grocery store one woman said to another--"Look what I've got-- (showing her bag) have you been in the new store yet? No? Well, you'd better hurry--the bags are go- ing out fast!" Before I had bought all "my groceries, the second woman was, back, tickled pink because she, too, had got a grab bag! H foolish can we get? : Adventures of a Woman Detective Mayfair. What does that sug- gest? High society, lavish par- ties, debutantes? Or call-girls, confidence tricksters and black- mailers? Both pictures would be _ true, as Annette Kerner shows in her' absorbing new book "Further Adventures of a Wo- "man Detective." No one is bet- ter qualified to tell the tale than Mrs. Kerner, who was a pri- vate eye for more than twenty years and ran the famous May- fair Detectivé Agency. T But a private detective's in- genuity is most keenly tested when she Ras to pit. her brains against the 'internséional crook. "Often the crook is really work=- ing for a 'brains' who remains modestly in. the background," she says, "conducting a legiti- "mate business being a good hus- band and father, paying his rates promptly."

"In the Frith Street-Dean Street neighbourhood, a man in a well-cut lounge suit can quickly become suspect" For one job, she says, Fred wore a flashily-cut suit," a striking green bow-tie, and chocolate. suede shoes.
