His vanity must be fed; he may vow fidelity to you, but at one smile from another pret- ty face he is off to the con- quest. This heartless trait is usually born in the masculine nature, and it doesn't dimin- ish. It .is egoism which trans- cends every other quality. Pity the girl he marries.

To spend. the day going round every part of the hospital with an oil-can and screwdriver attending to all squeaking doors and banging windows. It keeps him, very' busy. To his friends he jokes: "Mine's a hush-hush job." There's no end to the novel ways in. which men and women can ean a living. In London there's a man who makes a good income writing other people's love lefters. In New York a pret- ty and shapely girl spends many of her working hours in -water --testing 'bathing costumes: She has to report whether they are 'proof against shrinking. . In a fishing village near Cape- - 'town lives a man who is pald to gaze out over the sea through binoculars, His. job_is=to watch for shoals of fish and signal their presence to fishérmen. .

In the meantime Joy was coming in to take charge . of Dave, But things didn't pan out that way. Daugh- ter didn't get along as well as was expected and is still in the: hospital. There had to be blood transfusions, penicillin and so on. However, she is coming along fine now and expects to be out Monday or Tuesday. Joy and Bob took David home to Oakville with them. They were here yesterday and they all seemed to be getting along' to- gether very nicely. There is only one drawback -- Dave has been denied the brother or sister 'he might have had come fall-- but thank heaven, he still has! a mother, So, in spite of upsett- ing events, we can still count our blessings. It_is no trouble. at all to 'name them one by one'. - Yes, last week was a busy week all right. I was in Toron- to again last Friday--just to the hospital. Saturday I was more © or less catching up with my work---and incidentally I didn't at all like losing that hour of . sleep that had to be sacrificed for the sake' of: daylight saving time. In fact I dislike fast time more - with every passing year, one ime. the first few days. At - one time the change-over served a good purpose--during the war and when there was a definite shortage of hydro power." Later it was argued that daylight sav- ing time gave working people more opportunity. for gardening ' and working around th& home. But now, with a five-day work- ing week, I can't see that fast time for industrial workers 'is necessary at all. It disrupts mail service; the difference between bus and train time still confuses many people, and for farmers, * short of hired help, daylight saving time is now a greater 'disadvantage than at any time in its history. If the powers that be would experimept for just one year by staying. on standard time all the year round then we would have some méans of com- parison, some way te determine which is "the 'better way for everyone concerned under pre- sent living and working condi-, tions. : L One thing is certain, the sea- sons. don't follow the calendar any more.

Last Saturday Partner saw one poor exhausted little swallow return to the barn, He said the poor little thing was so "beat up" there wasn't a- twitter out of it. It just sat on a beam in the stable and rested quietly all the time he was milking. That nearly always happens---one wee swal- low returns and two or three days later the rest of the fam- ily follow. I wonder does the first swallow go back to fell his" friends it is all right to come back to their summer quarters. In the garden the early daf- fodils -are coming into bloom, but, alas, their brightness is a great attraction to Mac who trots around in the garden and bites off the pretty yellow ieads. One more "bad habit to correct! In other respects Mac is coming along pretty well and and is beginning to behave more like a normal dog. He and Dave are already good friends, for which we are very thankful. We had another calf last week, and we sold our hens ex- cept for a few to keep the house supplied. The hens persisted in .feather-pulling -- a habit they developed before we bought them, but which we thought they would outgrow. We tried everything, external and inter- nal, but they wouldn't stop. So we sold them before they all died of cannibalism. Free range might. havé cured them. but birds on free range produce dark yolks; dark yolks means: "grade B. eggs, so we conform "to public demand and confine our hens. As to that, we don't like dark yolks either! HIGHWAY LOGIC There was a pile of stones in the road and a lamp on' the top 'of it. An old fellow was in charge. "What's the lamp for?" he was asked.
