Life of Ambassador's Wife Is Not Always A Glamorous One

Written Ft: The Canadian Press By MARGARET EGKER.

MEXICO CITY, (CF)-The life of a Canadian ambassadors wife is not always I glamorous one

Take Gaby Leger. wife of Jules Leger who is leaving the Canadian embassy here to become deputy minister of the department of ex ternal affairs at Ottawa. The charming young matron. in addi- tion to meeting the social demands required of a diplomats wife. has maintained a close-knit family life during residence in Ottawa, Lon- don. Chile and Mexico.

The former Gaby Carmel of Montreal loves every minute of IL

But her life is no diamond- studded soy,-ial gallop. Diplomats- and their wives too, work hard in: world capitals to create good im- pressions of the countries the; rep- resent.

Mrs. Leger is a graduate of the Condon Blcu School of Cooking in Paris. "Cooking fascinates me. I love it." she said.

The mistress of the house is not welcome in a Mexican kitchen. and the cook scored a distinct triumph zn her own domain not long after the I..cgei's' arrival in Mexico.

Francine and Helene think mother's cakes are the best in the world. so Mrs. Leger sallied into the kitchen to make the family's favorite chocolate almond cake l The Mexican help scowled. but she carried on until the cake was in the oven.

A llili(' laicr the cook came run- ning in with the news that the cake was running all over the oven. Mrs. Leger had forgotten that even the best recipes don't stand up at 7.800 feet above sea. level, and have lo be adjusted.

"Was my face red!" she laughed. "Me who boasted of beinlz a cordon Bleu and my cake wouldn't even stay in the pan."

Entertaining visiting Canadians is not brown-haired Mrs. Leger's only duty. There are 40 foreign missions in Mexico City. As a new- comer. in her first weeks. she called on the wives of the other ambassadors. Then they had to re- turn the call.

DOBUIHY DIX

Haunted By A Mme Butterfly

DEAR. MISS DIX: I've been mar- ried three months to a man who is all any girl could want-kind. oonsidcrate. loving and devoted in

fore we were married my husband admitted that during his two yours in Japan, he had lived with a Japanese girl. He said they lov- ed each other very much. that she had given him Qpleumt. com- fortable home. but that she re- fused to come to this country with him since it would be so difficult for her to adjust to new ways. Later, however, he admitted that he didn't love her enough for mar- riage, but had grown to depend on her to ward off lonellnau and home- sickness. I wish he had never told me of this episode. as I .haven'a had a, moment free of worry since. I keep trying to imagine what his life with her must have been, and am constantly questioning him I.- bout it. I wonder if. he loved her more than he does me. if she con- tributed more to his happiness than I shall ever do, if he misses her or thinks of her. How can I get this whole subject out of my mind? Lora D. OFF!-IN TEMPORARY AFFAIRS

ANSWER: This is a problem that faces many voting women today- and will contribute to do so as long as we have armies of occupa- tior. abroad. Many servicemen. es- pecially the younger cries, haven't acquired the stability to adjust to the drastic change that foreign service presents, In an effort to alleviate the almost unbearable homesickneu, they welcome eager- ly whatever sympathetic under- standing is available. Sometimes these relationships deepen into genuine love with resultant happy marriages; more often. however. they are merely temporary affairs soon outgrown by one party or the other.

Time will help you put your hus- band's past in its proper place. After three months of married life. you still expect all romance to wear a rosy aura; the slightest cloud would loom as a tempest to you. the smallest imperfection in your" beloved would be tragedy. Having to face the fact that husbands. like all other human beings, have fall- ings is bitter to a bride of 12 weeks. Try to appreciate the fact that you have the man. while the little Japanese girl has lost him. Her love was doubtless as sincere as yours, and her efforts to please were pro- bably sincere. She will not have the happiness that you enjoy and will keep-unless you throw it a- way through constant nagging :- bout the past.

It's impossible for any one per- son to possess or dominate com- pletely another soul. No wife can own her husband's entire past. present and future. So settle for the present and future; follow Longfellows advice. "Let the dead Past bury its dead"!

DEAR MISS DIX: I spent a week end in the country with some fam- ily friends. There I met a very nice boy. who took me to a dance one evening, and a movie the next. Since I love writing letters, I'd like to have a correspondence with this boy but I'm afraid he'll think I'm running after him if I write. would it be permissible for me to write him first? I have a very ex- tensive list of correspondents and would like to add him to it.

Winnie C.

ANSWER: Surely you may write the boy. Tell him how much you enjoyed the week end. which was made extra pleasant by his com- pany. Then go on with the kind of letter that has made you such 3, -furs correspondent. and I'm sure he won't be able to resist re- plying. Modern Etiquette By Eobctu Loo

Q. Is it proper for a NOUHK girl to invite a boy into her home for I snack after A date?

A. Only if her parents. or some other mature person. are in the house. It would not be proper if there were no one home who could be regarded as a chaperon.

Q. We frequently have guest speakers at our women's club. Should we applaud them both when they are introduced and after they speak?

A This is proper - the first time in greeting. and the second time in approval.

Q. Is it all right for I bride to have both it matron and a maid of honor at her wedding?

A. Yes. if the wedding is u. very large and formal one.

The bidding:

West North East south 1 A Dble. 2 Q or! 1' Pu: Pass Pass -

Both West and North went in for some "shading" on the first round - West. by opening the bidding. and North. by doubling

for a takeout. As for East's two- heart call on a hand containing only two jacks - since this bid would easily be read by West as a rescue. there was considerable to be said in its favor.

South, of course. was on solid ground. even though he had no sure heart stopper. in leaping to game at notrump. His honor-count was extremely impressive opposite a takeout double.

West opened a low diamond. South won with the queen and led a spade to the queen. then returned ii spade. his king going to West's ac'e. West persisted with diamonds. and South took his ace. Doubtless thinking about East's heart bid, South then went to dummy with a club and led a heart toward the queen. West won and cashed three diamonds. setting the contract.

If South had analyzed the bid- ding he might have come to the proper conclusion. which was that West couldn't have had an opening bid without the heart king. where- as East did not need that card for his rescue bid. That being so, the logical line of play was to cash three rounds of clubs and the Fast high spade, then to throw West in with a spade or a diamond. West could take two tricks but then would have to lead away from the heart king to the North- South tenace. Of course

the throw-in play

The Stars Say

By Eurellita For Tomorrow YESTERDATS restrictive ten- dencies continue throughout the

momlng hours, especially as they affect moods and emotions. But. as ymterday, determination to take things in stride and -maintain an optimistic outlook will conquer any possible disappointments or confus- ion. A sense of humor will help, too. During the evening hours. the ac- cent is on social functions and. whether on a large or small scale. participants should be extremely congenial. jovial and in a mood for fun. -

Romantic and domestic affairs should also prosper, and you may receive a wedding invitation.

For the Birthday

If tomorrow is your birthday. you can make the coming year a banner one if you pursue your goals with self-confidence and foresight. Even though you may have been under some pramure during the past six months, the time has come to cast anxiety aside.

You are' entering a good cycle now. so mobolize your efforts to their utmost and profit by the ex- cellent period ahead.

By early fall. your harvest of suc- ceas should be abundant and, dur- ing the same period. a great deal is Dromised in the way of social popu- lariiy and prestige. Romance and travel are under good aspects now. and social contacts made during the summer months should be care- fully cultivated since they could play an important part in your future. -

A child born on this day will be loyal, understanding and extremely methodical in all things.

AN EASY METHOD OF TAKING DRUGS FOR MIGIIAINE

Migraine headache, a particularly vicious form of headache, often appearing on one side only and ac- companied by nausea. and vomiting and other disturbances. attacks large numbers of persons. usually not just one, but at regular or it- regular intervals of time. some- times it is so severe that the pa.- tient must go to bed in a darkened room for dws at a time before it goes away. It is particularly likely to affect those who are "perfection- isis". who drive themselves, who are over-conscientious.

Several years ago Dr. Mary 0'Su1livan advocated the use of crgotamine tartrate in the treat- ment of migraine with great suc- cm in many cases. However there are some patients who and that taking drugs by mouth has the dis- advantage of increasing the ten- dency to retchlng and vomiting. Ac- cordlngly we read of an experi- ment using ergotamine tarin-ate and caffeine in the form of a rectal sup- pository in 23 patients with migraine headaches.

Every one of these patients re- ported that they usually had some sort of warning that an attack was on its way. For instance, '1 had some disturbance of vision. '5 had stomach upsets." 18 were over- sensitive to noise. 6 were ovaracnsi- tive to light, 6 noted stiff neck, 9 noticed more frequent urination. 9 had various emotional upsets. These persons were instructed to insert a suppository of the argotamfna and caffeine preparation at the first signs of an attack. This preparation is called 190 112. ' '-

What were the results? One lup- pository was usually sufficient to control symptoms in an hour!

Lest we become unduly optimistic about this method of taking ergot- amlne. we must remember that it was known in each of these cases that they ruponded well to the use of this drug when used in other methods of administration. such as by mouth. However, there are many cases where it-is not possible or wine to give the drug by mouth or by injection under the skin or into a vein and in such cases this method of the rectal suppository may be very useful.

In all cases of migraine treat- ment should include: (1) enough outdoor exercise. (2) a simple. vu- iod. well-balanced diet. and (3) regulation of the bowels so as to produce daily, free movements.
