Iy IDA JEAN KAIN

One of life's difficulties is learn- ing to live one day It I time. It takes I philosophical approach to accomplish this simple mir- acle. The human tendency is to allow the , ” of yesterday and tomorrow to mar the present day. Since yesterday has gone and tomorrow hIIn't arrived. to- day is all we have. When we really grasp this idea. it can have transforming power.

What has all this to do with slimming down? Well, I busy

"I believe much of it is copy work, rather than original com- position, but it is wonderful for I vtoman of that age She must have I bright mind and I lively interest in life."

BUSY LIFETIME

Painting is not a recently ac- quired hobby for Mrs. Winchell. She won second prize in I na- tional exhihition held in Calgary. in I908 with her copy of Land-. seer's Stag. That painting wast among those on display here.

Her life, however, was such I busy one that she had to steal, moments from tier everyday dill-' ies to work on her art. Now. with I little more time on her hands, she is able to enjoy oil painting - and without the aid of eye' glasses. 1 She was born at Oak Grove.

MARY HAWORTLI

Children Are A Burden To Their Parents

Dear Mary I-laworth: Why do women wish to have children? Let's pass over the ready notice that lla wife's instinctive desire is to reproduce her husband"-- for this can't be the only reason. But is love of husband the rul- ing iiiolive?

l suppose my instinct should give me the answer to the ques- tion, but it doesn't. And I wish I could find someone with whom to discuss this-lwould I mar- riage counsellor be appropriate? V-but, as I can't think of I suit- able confidante, I would apprec- iate your comment.

I can understand I man's mo-

sntisfied with his work situation. he may count on children to make his life seem more worth- while. Or he may want children to "carry on the family name." And of course he doesn't have to bear the primary physical bur- den ol caring for children. NOT CYNICAL I am not altogether I cynic. I realize that life contains joy and satisfaction as well as sorrow. But still it seems to me that everyone born undergoes so much unpleasantness and sorrow that it is decidedly better not to have offspring. I believe there are many fine people in the world. whose lives are governed by uuaelfishness and high principles. And I remember. too, that God instructed the creat- ures wlio came out of the Ark to ”Go forth and multiply." Yet, judging from comments I have heard, most parents are selfishly motivated. I've heard women say they de- sire the special love that children give you. Or that they want chil- dren to take care of them in their old ale. Or they tlilnk children are interesting and "cute." Obviously Ilve missed some- thing in life. for judging by the number of children born. there must be very good reasons for having them. And why the great demand for children to adopt. if they aren't much to be desired?
