EI.I.EN'S DIARY

By An Island ru-men Wife

And so holiday-time is here. one .is aware of its sweetness - and brevity in the sigh which invari- ably accompanies the "Just a week this yeari" or' "We must leave, come Monday!" of the vaca- tlonists we meet about, or who chance to come to our door. How many handclasps. . . greetings and farewells! How eagerly eyes of re- turning Island-born linger on cher- ished scenes and familiar faces! ”Do you know where I was this mom- ing?" one who had been gone a long time from the home of his youth. one day inquired of James, with a broad smile. "Before I 'went away, I left some trouting gear on a tree. close to the stream. I often wondered since what be- came of it. so today I went straight to that tree . . and do you know the hook was still there! But not where I left it - exactly. The tree had grown so it was away beyond my reach. But wasn't it amazing to find it. after all these years? It 'was like meeting an old friend!"

"This" a visitor explained of II nosegay of clover and sweet fern she carried in her hand while we talked recently "I picked at the old place. Yes, I always call there when I come to The Island, though ;there's nothing left now of the buildings there, no stick nor stone to tell where they stood. Butl stand where the house was-and always go down to the brook where we got our supply of water. The depresion where we dipped -the pails is filled now but other- wise it seems to be pretty much as it was . . .over-grown. of course and the worn path gone. The last time I was there one apple tree remained in what was the yard- we used to have a rope s sing tied to it. but that too is gone. And strange folks own the land and the farm next to it. But they didn't seem to mind my coming there. And how the old scenes came back to me. things I had almost for- gotten. as cIe.'u'ly as though they happened only yesterday.

"Mother used to be in the door- way to welcome us home from school, or from being about the fields, and how good it was to find her there! Gave one a secure, com- fortable feeling, always so inter- ested in us and our doings. And my father at work on the farm. How patient and industrious they were. sacrificing everything for us -;- of the little they had. judged by present-day standards' Nor did we as children have much in the way of toys or such entertainment, ss youngsters must have nowadays. But we had plenty to eat and were warmly clad and we had lots of affection and a happy home. I be- lieve. looking back, that is better than riches." she smiled. "So. I'm taking these home with me-press- ing them, clover from the yard Ind sweet fern from the grove that sheltered the buildings. The fam- ily will laugh at- me, but I suppose it's not the first fern that's been carried away from The Island!" "Nor won't be the last" we offered.

Yes, of necessity crowding so much into the vacation-days, press- ing down the items. quite running the hours over with the many rare delights, which belong to it. And there is always the sad side of

it. We recall not many years ago, ;T calling to say: "Good-bye" to a ' vacatlonist, we knew well. But

where was she? While the car, with her luggage waited in the yard to carry her to "the train." The moth- er at. the door whispered: "It's a way she has - though it's no ill omen. at all - but she must go in- to every room of the house before

she leaves. . .. as though she must say farewell too, to them." She nodded. "I sometimes wish there

were no holidays - because then there would he no leave-takings.

STATE AID FOR THE HARD OF HEARING ...l..

Stae Aid for the Hard of Hearing

Because there have been such great advances on this continent in both medicine and surgery, we may think that we are leading in all branches of medicine, but a recent report from Denmark dis- proves this part, I have, in mind

called. There is no question but that with our new hearing aids many

formerly handicapped individuals are now able to earn a living in occupations in which they meet the public. And what is even more gratifying is to know that this mixing with the public, being aware of all that is going on about them. means happiness and more contentment of mind.

In Denmark, according to a let- ter in the Journal of the American Medical Association, we learn that by the laws oi 1950, the state ,un- dertakes the education of the hard of hearing and of the deaf, and the provision of several stale-conduc'.- cd centers for the welfare of the deal. The law enables all who are hard of hearing, whatever their oc- cupation and income, to acquire hearing apparatus free of cost if in the opinion of experts, it is need- ed. The cost and the upkeep of the hearing aid are borne by the state.

”It has been estimated" the let- ter goes on, "that every third hear- ing outfit or apparatus issued to the hard of hearing is discarded by the recipient because it has dis- appointed him for one reason or another. This means a great wast- age of hearing outfits. It could largely be avoided if candidates for this free gift from the state could be carefully selected and given the training and encourage- ment so often needed if this help is to be effective."

It states further that the medical profession can help these hard-of hearing individuals by giving them more symphathetlc and intelligent help. The medical profession could study the various hearing aids and thus know better how to discuss the difficulties that arise. What would not suit one kind or loss of hearing might quite often help an- other type, according to the pitch or height of the loss of hearing present.

The article states further that in many instances physicians have 9. great deal to learn about the enormous technical strides made during the last few decades in help- ing the deaf to hear. I believe that practically all the new hearing aids could be helpful to the hard of hearing if careful selection of patients were made.

My wife and I (litaivelbeien mabrrletlufglr four years, during which time she worked an epe me uy ' iture for our home, and a car. I am 25 and she is two years older and has been married before. I'm sorry 10 SILV 1 hBV9n'- been lruesg” her as I should, not have I helped her as much as she deserved. e left me finally, because one of my girl friends called one evzning when I wasn't home. When 1 got back. my wife. in her anger. had cut up

-. my clothes and broken some of the furniture. I was so mad I broke up some more furniture. Now she says she is sorry and want: to come back to me. She says she loves me. but I really huvent been a good husband. Should we try to make a

new start? WXLLIE

DEAR DOROTHY DIX:

ANSWER: Your wife's methods of retaliation are certainly drastic-but understandable. I-Ier - 4d rampage seem: to have knocked a little sense into you-maybe she should have broken some of the furniture over your head and.made you really wake up.

ARE you itasncv SORRY?

You seem a little sorry for your infidelity-but not sorry enough Do you care enough for your wife to make a new beginning and be a faithful husband to her? She seems to have worked hard with you and deserves more than the vague regret you have for philander- ing. If you aren't willing to make every effort towards a better marriage. don't raise her hopes by promises you can't and won't keep. You are old enough to have a sense of responsibility.

Your wife has done everything she could to make a go of mar- riage; meet her at least halfway and determine to be a good husband. These silly infldelities of which you seem a little boastful will never bring happiness.

The rest can be safely left to your wife-she knows how to handle you, and it's not with kid gloves!

DEAR MISS DIX: I have been married six years. My husband and I get along very well together; we enjoy the some sports, etc. He helps me with all the household chores and is always ready to do anything I ask him to do. But there are two things he seldom does. He won't wash or dry dishes even when I'm sick, and he never kisses me unless I almost ask him to.

FRECKLES

ANSWER: Some women sure are hard to please! Most wives must overlook much more serious faults than an aversion to doing dishes, or a neglectful lack of caresses. If nothing more serious comes up to mar your married life, consider yourself one lucky girl. Freckles!

Since your husband is willing to take on other household tasks. let the dishes pile in the sink until you are well enough to do them Many males who will sweep. mop, wash windows and do countless other domestic chores. balk at the sight of soiled chins. To them. doing dishes lI such a feminine task that their masculinity bslks lat )i(tsd prospect. Such a small defect in a good husband can be over- oo e .

Instead of waiting to be kissed. do the kissing. Glvc hubby a regular morning. noon and night kiss, and maybe he'll come around 90 seeing "131 you like to be kisled. If he doesn't. chalk this up too. as a slight flaw in a rough diamond and be grateful for all you): other blessings!

For Tomorrow

The day starts off with danger of loss, in funds. investments. and promotion in business or work. Intimate relations call for the utmost precaution. discre- tion, tact, with consideration for the feelings and happiness of others. As the day advances things may improve. stimulating the urge for constructive effort.

For the Birthday

Those whose birthday it is are prone to rush into dangers and entanglements in most of their affairs, taking chances with funds and possessions. ' ' g them in jeopardy. This may pass away as time advances. making way for some constructive work. with en- hanced emoluments and gratifica- tlon.

A child born on this day may be disposed to take long chances in his affairs, but may use more discretion as time advances.

Medicine stains

Medicine stains on sheets or lin- ens ean be removed by making a paste of fuller-'s earth and am- monia. and applying this to the stain. Leave on until dry. and then wash out the stains with soap and water.

llard-Boiled Egg:

The slicing of hard-boiled eggs is more easily done with a knife which has been dipped into boll- ing water and wiped dry. This eliminates any cracking or crumb- ling. Repeat as often as the knife cools.

Teddy laughed comfortably. "Not on your lifel I don't come in- to it; Mrs. Lynn had cut me out. It's up to Landon."

"Up to Landon-Yes" thunder- ed the old lawyer, striking his fist on his desk, "but it's up to you. too, because you made the bet; you got Landon into it. He's I dumb fool, anyway! Now. I ask you, young man, who's this fellow? D'you know now?" .

Teddy waved his walking-stick airily. "Search me!" he said.

Posdick leaned over his desk and thrust his ray face forward until the light c ught the ugly glitter in his eyes. "I'll tell you what you did, you young idiot, you," he said sharply you and Landon picked up an ex-convict in the street and sent him into a. friend's house, sent him to meet I pure young girl - an ex-convict, d'you hear?"

Teddy Banks slid down off the table and stood gaping in sheer amazement. his mouth open. "Oh, I say!" he gasped, "sren't you put- ting it on too thick? The fellow's I good looking chap, pretty decent sort-looks like a gentleman."

Fosdlck uttered an inarticulate exclamation. "I know him very well," he said grimly; I've known him for years. I knew him when he was sent up: he was seventeen years old-a. good looking young chap then. He's served his time and he's out. Just the same, he's an ex-convict and you and London sponsored him."

The venom in Fosdicku voice carried conviction. Banks stared at him. sobered; he even turned I lit- tle pale.

Teddy Banks was I reckless youth, not given to much serious thought on matters of moral Judgment. but the word murder came as I complete surprise. Af- ter all, he and Archie had take an awful chancel s

He looked glumly It rbodick, hardly daring to believe what he had heard. He had known that Archie would be on the spot with Burleson and Mrs. Lynn for min- ing an imposter into their home. but- now Fosdick had Just told him -lncrodible!- that this follow, this Mark Grant, had murdered his uncle for moneyl "Good Lord!" said Banks weak- ly. His knees felt shaky under him. The full significance of the thing that he and Landon had done began to dawn on him. He thought of Pain; Landon evidently believed that this-this murderer was tmakng love to her. Even Banks had I perception of such things hidden somewhere in his vspid young personality. For the first time he was seized with qualms of conscience. "Why didn't they hang him?" he cried sudden- ly angry at the chance the convict had had to undo them all. It was I beastly shame not to have hung him and prevented it! "circumstantial evidence," las- dick growled; "he got sixteen years. Good conduct let him out some
