Barnes, Margaret Campbell -- With All My Heart, the Love Story of Catherine of Braganza. Another historical novel by the Author of My Lady of Cleves, and Brief Gaudy Hour, set in a period a century closer to our own day. Mrs. Barnes offers her readers an enthralling story about a woman who has been hitherto somewhat neglected by the novelist.

King may be somewhat too fav- orable to Charles, but at least he and his queen appear as under- standable human beings. The per- jod was one of considerable ad- vances in commerce, science and colonization; nor were serious disasters of plague, fire and trea- sonable plot lacking to add to the already crowded picture. The author has taken full ad- vantage of a fascinating period in English history to give a well told story a rich and interesting background. ~ MacDonald, Billy (Button) -- I Married an Artist. This biography is a very read- able account of the Joys and sor- sows of a Toronto girl who mar- ried an artist, but who does not appear to regret it. The story be- gins with the first college boy-and- girl date. The artist is a very practical man, ready and able to turn his creative ability to good account in order to earn a living, yet never losing sight of his work as a painter. This is not an arty story at all, and the matter of fact description of a wife's re- bellion against the acceptance of some of the aspects of an artist's life and temperament might help the layman to a better understand- ing of the artist's point of view. Mrs. MacDonald's light and amus- ing treatment of some of her mis- adventures adds to the enjoyment of the book. Davison, Ann--Last Voyage, Autobiographical A t of All That Led Up to an Illicit Voyage and the Outcome Thereof. The shipwreck of a refitted fish- ing-ketch Keliance, so graphically described in this book, is the trag- ic ending to the hopes of an Eng- lishman and his wife for a chance to lead their lives according to their own principles. Taking the vessel to sea was illegal, but a desperate remedy was sought for a desperate situation. The story of the events which lead up to the voyage, the loss of the Reliance and the death of the man is sim- ply and movingly told by his wife, who was with him through it all. One does not have to be a sailor in order to appreciate this account of heroism and fortitude in the face of hopeless odds. Churchill, Winston S.--Closing the Ring. . This is the fifth volume of Mr. Churchill's history of the second world war, from the beginning of the summer of 1943 to the evening of June, 1944. It includes the in- vasion of Sicily and Italy and carries the story of the war through the preparations for the invasion of France. One aspect of the book which should interest us today is the account of the ef- forts of the President of the United States and the Prime Min- ister of Great Britain to maintain cordial relations with Stalin, and to co-operate loyally with him in the presecution of the war, over- coming difficulties which only the | Russian official mind could think up. These volumes from the pen of such an artist in words as Churchill are fascinating to read now and will prove invaluable to future generation of students of history. Franklin D. Roosevelt's , Own Story--told in his own words from his private and public, papers, as selected by Donald Day. The material in this book is | from Roosevelt's diaries, letters | and speeches, and various docu- | ments, linked together by brief | explanations and notes, so that Hollywood Hollywood (AP) --- Sour-faced comedian Fred Allen, here for a movie stint, paused long enough to blast his favorite target -- air net- works and advertising agency vice- presidents. He blames them for television's failings, including his own. "My shows have been pretty bad," he admitted, 'except the last one. The reason is that until now I had been doing what every- bedy else said I was supposed to do. But on the last one, I disre- garded their advice and did the kind of show I wanted. The sponsor was dropping the series anyway, so what did I have to lose? '"These executives have a lot of screwy notions about TV. They say everything has to have move- ment.

"The TV performer has the same importance as the label on a can," he argued. 'The show it~ self is not important; it's whether the show can sell the product. "I think it's bad in any medium when the entertainment quality is not the important thing. A dis- criminating audience has certainly helped the movie business. Pic- tures had to get better, because people found out they . could eat { popcorn right out in the open; they an | didn't have to go theatres to do it." Silky Hand Lotion In Plastic Container Solves Old Problem Trust a woman to overcome a handicap! How many times have you ruefully regarded your hands and promised yourself you simply had to do something about pro- tecting them from chafe and chap?

Why, right after you've dunked them in dishwater, or when you've finished washing clothes! Why don't they get immediate at- tention? Simply because as smart as keeping a bottle of hand lotion near the sink may seem, it's not practical! Sinks being manmade, have very little space for toiletries, and many a woman has ruefully watched her bottle of hand lotion crash into a thousand pieces be- cause her hands were soapy when she reached for it, or its resting place was too precarious. Reluc- tantly, because the average house- wife hasn't time to scoot to the medicine chest in her daily hand- to-hand battle with housework she has given up applying hand lotion when she most needs it! But now, soapy hands or no, pre- carious ledges notwithstanding, you've got the handiest aid yet! A new silky hand lotion comes in a practical plastic bottle!

Highlights | MARY HAWORTH'S MAIL: Another Extra-Marital Pidblem | "Dear Mary Haworth: The dilem- ma discussed in your November 15 column, concerning a wife's in- volvement in an extra - marital love affair, is a problem I too have faced. It is my hope that the story of my struggle for strength may help her. The path of suffering whereby I progressed to my pres- ent state of inner peace and spirit- ual power was long and beset by doubt, despair and rebellion. But I will make the story brief. I too fell headlong in love. The man was married, as was I; and we both had children. We fought against our love; but it was so strong and deep, it would have been childish to deny its reality. What to do? I turned, to prayer, prayer and more prayer -- and my salvation took roughly the follow- ing course. 1 First and most important, I looked on myself as a child of God, one whose first allegiance is to him. No relationship, .therefore, that betrayed Him could bring hap- piness to me. 2. I gave myself fully to His will and keeping, strong in the belief that if I asked Him con- stantly in prayer to show me His Tweed and Jersey Duo By PRUNELLA WOOD A costume in which te face the winter any place less stringent than the Arctic Circle is provided here, by the inimitable Mainbocher sense of the fitness for fashions.

The coat is easy, but moderately full only, which makes it an apt traveling companion . . . gemember how those pyramid models tented all over the floor beside one's seat? .The mid-calf skirt length is our national pet length, and the ensemble will look as well over low heeled shoes as | high. An outfit to live in, with accessories to suit the place, the weather and the. occasion. way, He would answer and sustain me from day to day. 3. I began to be able to reason about my love in this fashion: God commands us to love others as our- selves. Thinking of this, I found it impossible to hurt my husband, the wife of my beloved, or the children Divorce would hurt them: and an affair, with its moral degrada- tion and risk of scandal, would hurt as much, possibly more. And if I were to accept an affair, I would be responsible for hurting the one I loved most -- in causing him to break God's law. Real love will never bring injury to the beloved. PUT ASIDE SELF 4. I cast about for constructive ways to express my love. I gave my services to an orphanage, where many were in need of affec- tionate warmth; and though it re- quires self - sacrifice, in terms of time and money, it has become a source of true pleasure to me. I gave myself to a more complete un- derstanding of, pride in, and thankfulness for my children --and home. I took solace from the knowl- edge that I was keeping faith. 5. I tried to turn away longing for my beloved, by pondering what had happened to my marriage -- thus dismissing hopeless day dreams, 'in order to pursue con- structive insight. Here the greatest step forward was in enlisting spe- cialist aid, and in connection with all this, I voiced my convictions to my lover, in refusing an affair. Here are the results, after sev- eral years: I have increasing peace in the knowledge that I haven't harmed my beloved or anyone. I have enlarged my self-awareness and the human potentials of my personality, as well as my service- value to society. I have become strong in my faith; and although I still love, the thought of an affair is repugnant, and I feel equal to any moral trial. By example, I am helping the man I love to find himself, too. And for the first time, I am bringing intelligence and spiritual strength, rather than blind emotion, to my marriage. Through seemingly overwhelm- ing difficulty, -a path has opened, and I see real hope ahead for even- tual harmony with my husband. Surely the ways of God passeth all understanding! Sincerely, P.J. CONFIRMS COLUMN ADVICE Dear P. J.: Certainly this is per- suasiye testimony to the measur- able benefits of constant prayer, as an ever - present help in time of trouble." I am sure the previous correspondent, still torn by conflict that you have resolved, will be grateful for your heartening sug- gestions -- and for the sympathy that underlies them. In essence, your experience confirms th econ- cluding advices I gave hre, namely -- "Psychiatric insight into depen- dency needs will be a lamp to your feet, in regaining solid ground: but also you will need the inner strength and steadiness that come of reaching for God."

Solves every mixing problem Mew Bowl-Fit beaters for In The Co CHILD GUIDANCE:- When Baby Is Being Weaned By GARRY CLEVELAND MYERS, Ph.D. Most babies, given the oppor- tunity, are enjoying sips of water or orange juice by the time they are four or five months old. Even if your baby is bottle-fed, it is good to let him learh early to drink water and fruit juice from a cup. As he thus grows used to drinking these liquids from a cup, it can be easy for him to change gradually to taking some milk t way. When first offered water or juice from a cup, he may refuse it, or, after taking a sip, may turn away. If he takes even a sip be happy. Don't press him to take more. 'Wait and try him in a gentle way later or still later. Make your slogan 'slow and easy." Anyway, don't expect the child at first to take several successive swallows. After his first swallow, remove the cup and wait a bit to let him have the second and so on. STRANGE EXPERIENCE He may at first find it a strange and hard experience drinking from a cup. Be sure the liquid does not spill over on his nose and mouth as you tip the cup. Some- times a full cup is easier for him to drink from than on: with but little liquid in it. On the market is a plastic cup with a partial cover through which only a little liquid can pour as the cup is tipped. Milk the baby has always had from the breast or bottle has been warm. Therefore, he may be more ready to drink warm milk from a cup. Even after a baby has learned to drink milk well from a cup he may profit from having the bottle once or so a day for some while enabling him to give up gradually the sucking satisfaction he has enpoyed since birth. Too very | was 'a very pleasant part of his day and of yours, too, perhaps, "and you will want to make up to him for the loss of his bottle by other kinds of companionship. a8 Mrs. Marian Faegre so wisely points out in the revised edition of "Infant Care' (to be had from the Children's Buredu, Washington, D. C., for 20 cents). Each Type of Plastic Has Its Own Use When a salesman says an article is "Plastic", he tells you no more than a jeweller describing a wed- ding ring as "metal". In buying plastic articles, ask the same kind of questions about them as you ask about furniture, rugs or fabrics, an article in C-I-L Oval advises. The word "plastic" denotes a general category of materials, like the words "wood" or "metal", and each type of plastic, wood, or metal has its own characteristics. Things like baby bottle funnels which may beb oiled are made of one plastic, fountain pens of another, A plastic which makes good iron handles, buttons and dishes, is not flexible enough for shower curtains, food covers or brush bristles. Each one has its uses -- and misuses. Every time a plastic item fails, it does so because it has been put to a use for which it was never in- tended, or the manufacturer Has us- ed the wrong plastic for his pur- pose. The only answer the prob lem is a better-informed public. This yeat at least $75,000,000 worth of plastic merchandise was sold in Canada, but very few buyers had any idea what they were getting. Until proper labelling of plastics early or too sudden weaning can encourage thumb-sucking. LOSS OF SATISFACTION At best, his having to give up the bottle can be a very serious change in his experiences and loss of satisfaction. Along with his taking food from the breast of bottle, especially the former, he has been held and snuggled. This physical contact gave him a sense of security which undoubtedly was very satisfying to him. Therefore, during your baby's weaning, pla nto give him more extra time, more holding and rocking and cuddling between | meals. Let more of your usual | household chores go and try to| enjoy special relaxation and se-| curity yourself. You see, the time | you used to hold him while he | took his natural food or bottle! comes into its own, buyers must re- ly on the advice of saléspeole. Manufacturers are just beginning | to tag their items with useful in- | formation telling the trade name of | the article, what type of plastic it | is made from, its limitations as well | as its virtues. The fact that an ar- | ticle cannot be boiled is no detri- | ment if the user is warned when he | buys it.
