My husband had a good job but he soon lost it, and since then he's only worked part-time. He doesn't make enough to live on; we have used up our savings, and we owe money (and I hate debt) but he doesn't show any gumption, I've only had one new ress since we married, and my 'ld ones are falling apart; his tlothes are a disgrace.

I want a nice home and better living. I like to lance anl play cards, see my triends and have them in. He doesn't enjoy people, he only wants a place to eat and sleep. Baturdays he takes me to the grocery store, and that's all! We haven't even anything left to talk about, and if I discuss the future (or the present) l.e just shuts up. "Before we married he was wonderful company; we good times, and I never dreamed they wouldn't last . .. I let him have his way in everything, but he is cranky and hard to please.

He must find new faith in himself, and that faith must come from you. Put aside your own feelings, and attack the job ahead. Praise your husband for his efforts to find work and, when he fails, remind him that tomorrow will be different. Other brides have known hard times, but they didn't sit down and cry for the happier yesterdays; they painted a smile on their lips and in their voice, they com- forted their husbands when they came home empty-handed, and they so inspired their men that they 'spit on their hands and took a fresh holt on the rope." Your husband needs you as he never needed you before. Let him see that you stand shoulder - to - shoulder, shar- ing his bad luck as you shared better days, and that your fajth in him is renewed every morning, If he is to do his best in these dark times, he needs his spirit refreshed and his confidence restored. Don't let a single day pass without showing your aft- fection (in words, too) and send him off with wings on his feet and a heart that you have filled with fresh courage.

"I have had many hints from your column, and thank you for them now. Please tell we what to do. EDITH" --*--Your-husband-is-being plain selfish in not taking you out. He knows you love dancing and people, and he hides you as though he were ashamed to be seen with you. That isn't fair, nor is it kind. The happiest marriages are between two people who are so thoughtful of each other that they plan the other's hap- piness ahead, and find their own joy in giving such plea- sure. Your husband is robbing himself as well as you and, if he will practice the above idea, he will soon find how well it pays off. These are the days he should indulge you, while you are able to get about. Ask him to read this today, and think about it.

Worth Twice Their ~Weight In Gold ~~ Little animals whose silky, dense fur was once used to fa- shion robes for Inca royalty in South America are rocketing to popularity in many parts of the world. They are chinchillas, whose natural home is in the sunny altitudes of the Andes, where they live at an elevation of nearly 19,000 ft. There's a world boom in their precious fur, which is so light that a square yard of chinchilla fabric weighs rayon. Chinchilla pelts were first im- ported from Chile early last.- century. Today the breeding cf chinchillas in many places is booming on a greater scale than ever before. The demand for chinchilla fur, because of its remarkable light- ness and fine quality, is coming not only from furriers but from exclusive dress and hat design- ers as well. There is a world market for millions of chinchil- la pelts. Because of their value chin- chillas were once nearly trap- ped out of existence. Because of the height at which they liv- ed, many of the trappers them- selves perished -- victims of the extreme cold. Forty years ago chinchillas were just aboyt the rarest ani- mals in the world. The govern- ment of Chile had already pass- ed strict laws forbidding the export, dead or alive, of these almost extinct creatures which look a cross between a squirrel and a bush baby. So serious, also, became the problem of the disappearance of chinchillas from Peru, Ecuador and Bolivia that the govern- ments there prohibited export and trapping on pain of the loss of a hand' for the first offence and death for the second. The export by sea and air of chin- chillas had at one time reached 400,000 pelts. : Today the tiny but highly prized ' chinchillas are being bred in large' numbers on farms in many parts of America, - It was reckoned in 1939, when market "price for every breeding pair sold was between $2500 and $300, 'that the tiny - animals were worth about twice their weight in gold. Q. Just what is the correct way to eat an olive? Does one put the whole olive into the mouth at once, or does one take only small bites out of it while holding it in the fingers? A. A very small stuffed olive may be put into the mouth whole. A larger stuffed one should be eaten in two bites. A plain olive is held in the fingers and pieces bitten off around the stone, end It must have been 'the heat . +» what else would make me do what I did? My usual invi- tation came along from the Day." Too hot to go, I thought. . And then -- but it won't be any hotter there than here. So 1 took the mid-morning bus, pres- ented my pass at the gates. The man took it, looked at it, looked said, "this isn't any good to you today -- you should have come ~ yesterday!" He was- right -- there. it was in the-top 'right- hand corner 'Thursday; "August 27'. Why hadn't I noticed? Well, until this year Press- Day had always been on a Friday so I just 'jumped to conclusions. Be- sides that the invitation card was worded differently -- a dit- ference that probably saved the management quite a lot of money. The cards applied to any day -- after the blanks had been J_filled in by hand with the name no niore than a square yard of -- and date for their presentation. Well, I thought, I'm here so I may as well make the most of .-my day. My first trip was to see the flotilla of destroyers lying at anchor in the bay. They were slightly shrouded in mist which somehow added to their at- tractiveness -- grey ghosts on the water. There is something about ships at sea -- or boats on the bay -- that stirs the emotional imagination. I can't describe it -- it is something you feel -- or you don't feel. They are so many things -- aus- " tere, 'protective and magnifi-: cent. Maybe my feelings go back to early childhood when it was instilled into us that Brit- ain was "mistress of the seas" and we sang "Rule Brittania" with pride and assurance. Be that as it may the boats had more fascination for me than the planes and nuclear weapons that were on display. Presently I left the water- front in search of a place to eat -- cool and not too crowd- ed. At the Exhibition . . . what a hepe! You might be surprised, as I was. I found a new place in the Manufacturers' Building. Air-conditioned, good food, good service, overlooking the lake and not too crowded -- probably be- cause meal-hunting folk have not yet discovered its where- find and came out rested and re- freshed, ready to visit the ex- hibits in the Queen Elizabeth Building.

By that time I"was ready to call it a day and tdok a cab over to Dee's place as Arthur had prom- ised to run me home. Ten min. utes later a terrific storm blew up. Rain pelted down so fast the gutters couldn't take it. I sat on the veranda watching. Presently along the street came two little girls, about five and three years old, running, soaked through, and bawling to high heaven. I knew they lived two . doors up so-1 made no attempt to rescue them. After the worst of the storm was over I thought I had better let Partner know I was sitting high and dry. "Thought you might like to know I wasn't caught in that rain," I said to him on the phone. "Rain -- what rain?" says he. "Don't tell me it hasn't been raining there," 1 exclaimed. "Just a few drops, nothing to speak of." I could hardly believe it. But that, of course, has been the weather pattern for most of this summer, And it is 'still hot and hor- ribly humid. Dee and family are still at the cottage and hating the thought of coming home. But next week they will have. to. . . . school-time for David. The English lady ,we had sleeping here for four months is now on the Atlantic, heading for home.

ISSUE 39 -- 1959 aesaeraa Ey Famous Bells And Their Stories When Princess Margaret visit- ed Lloyd's of London, centre of the world's insurance market, recently, the famous Lutine Bell was sounded. The, bell was struck twice -- the signal for good news. A means bad news. The Lutine Bell hangs in a kind of central "pulpit" in the vast Underwriting Room. It dates back more than 150 years -- when the frigate Lutine was sent by the Admiralty with a cargo of gold and coin worth half a million pounds to Ham- burg," to provide funds for the British merchants trading there during the war against Holland. The Lutine went to the bot- tom in a gale off the island of Vlieland, and all hands were lost. ! This. treasure ship, insured by Lloyd's, attracted many search- ers for her gold. Some of it was brought up, also the ship's rudder -- which was made into a table and 'chair for Lloyd's library -- and the bell, "The recovered gold was con- verted into a fund and, years Jater, most of it was used to build signal stations for the ra- pid dispatch of shipping news -- long since made obsolete by single stroke -radio:.and other modern inven- , tions, There. are other bells which have played a big part in his- tory, bells which have had spe- cific ruses. "Pancake Bell" was regularly rung on Shrove Tues- day, while the "Harvest," "Seeding" or '"Gleaning Bell" needs no explanation. The 'Oven Bell" was sounded for "bread - making to, start in the manors, and the "Market Bell" for selling to begin. The "Passing Bell" is often confused with the funeral bell. The former was tolled when someone was -dying, and owes -its origin to a very ancient cus- tom. The Athenians' used to beat on brazen kettles at'the moment of death to scare away the Furies and invoke a prayer for the sale passage of the soul to - paradise. --|--Once; atleast, the chiming of --{- a bell has saved a man's life.

Great 'Tom 'dated back fo the reign of Edward I and was hung in Westminster Hall, but Wil- liam III afterwards presented the old bell to St. Paul's Cathe- dral, though it has not been heard for 'a 'long. time except on important-state-occasions.
