ElI.EII'S IIIAIIV I1 In Idaho tumors was "Aluug a highway which allows

rivers and rolling countryside, we rotumed last evening from spending our weekend with "the Old Folks at Home". We were touched and A little amused to waken again to the familiar Sab- bath sounds at the old place: A mother goose ga-gaing to her greenish brood . . . softly now- not much above I. whisper, for was this not I hallowed morning? Even the crow of the lord and master of the flock was as we re- membered it of old . . . muted and rave-rent. The lowing of the waiting cows too was gentle, the grunt of the sows in the paddock. The very swallows that perched in a pair on a wire beyond the window seemed to be solemnly reflective . . . exactly as we had remembered Sunday mornings of our younger years. The sun gilded the bunches of the old spruces we could see behind the buildings and the sane clean. tangy June wind that was steal- ing in at the window, moved the topmost branclies o.uietly.

Already the iwotf the house- hold were astir. Her steps were we knew about the items of breakfast . . . setting down the quaint iron pot for the porridge- making, and the kettle nearer the coals . . . but not directly over them. Dear, dearr. not over them to blacken its bottom! His footsteps led along the yard . . . to the feeding of stock. And now the house was still. She would be attending to the needs of the poultry-scattering grain for them. filling water-troughs, picking up a l first egg of day in an apron. What , time was it An old clock chimed from below stairs, mellowly. and with reverent stroke. another re- plied from above. We counted . . six. Six and this world already about its Sabbath tasks? These were the same clocks that had sent the children to school up the rise of road-the eight of them. and at length off to lives of their own. How still was the house! But its rooms were happy, for in them a. family had spent the enchanted years of their child- hood at peace with the world and each other.

It was I house which ever hal- lowed its Sabbaths-and still does. No unnecessary work belongs to

it. no bustle of workaday week..

We smiled later to overhear? some query: "Shall I set out those plants in the garden this morning?" And we knew the answer, without the words. "Not today". quietly. "we'll just let them rest where they are 'till to- I marrow". "But there's only al half-dozen!" was the remark.

"Well. we'll just leave them asl they are -- them must be nol gardening on the Lord's Day)” We smiled and looked back through the years. heard the same question with obvious surprise: "Now who put that iron on the stove?" There was s silence. Which of the girls would own to the deed? Certainly not the one with the ribbon to press! "Then", with finality, "put it back where it belongs! There was plenty of time yesterday to complete any ironing-or perhaps you have forgotten that this is the Sub- bath?" How could we forget. and the very beasts and the birds ap- parently remembering to "keep It holy?"

Our Trip I To Europe

By Helen M. Jack (Continued)

Next to at. Marks. the most beautiful building in Venice is the Palazzo Ducale (Doge's Pal- ace). This building, of unusual Gothic architecture. rests upon a double gallery of arches. support- ed on thirty-six marble columns on the ground floor and seventy- two on the upper storey. The massive building proper is on this base. Leading to the second stor- ey, which is mainly an art mus- eum. is a beautiful staircase. known as the "Giant's Staircase." In this museum is the painting of the "Last. Judgment". the largest painting on canvas in the world.

Built between this Palace and the old prison is the "Bridge of sighs", often referred to by poets. Near the Palace. and facing the Grand Canal. are two beautiful columns of Greek marble, one of which is topped by a winged lion.

I once had occasion to use the telephone in Venice, but notknow-

ling a word of Italian, the only re-

sponse I was able to get on the other end of the line when a lady answered was something that sounded like ”prontoc". However. with sign language I was able to get the hotel keeper to connect party. We often found sign language very effective when speech was useless.

The shop windows in Venice. with an eye for tourists. contain all types of jewelry of very fine filigree work, and glass work of various kinds. there being a glass factory on one of the islands. The Island of Burano is the home of Venetian lace and fine linen.

Lido Island. facing the Adriatic. is a sort of escape for Vcnetlana from their overcrowded city dur- ing the summer, with its beauti- ful beach.

In travelling from Venice to Florence we had an opportunity to observe the Italian countryside. To us. Italy appeared to be every poor country. primitive in its me- thods of farming. Plowing is done by walking plow, hitched to two oxen. So noticeable were the number of women working in the fields. The houses were mostly of pink or yellow stucco. and very large. as the barns. etc.. were all under the same roof as the living quarters.

In Italy. more than any other country which we visited. the vast destruction of the last war was apparent. In many sections whole villages are lying in rubble. just as they fell. and many of the houses are pitted from the shell fire. We were told that. until a

4 short time ago, it was very diffi-

cult to travel in Italy. as many of the bridges and railways that had been bombed had only re- cently been replaced. At the pre- sent time a great deal of recon- struction work is going on, most of the labourers working only in a. pair of trousers due to the in- tense heat. I O O

In Florence we fortunately were able to get accommodation at a clean hotel near the station. Flo- rence. on the Arno River, was badly damaged during the war. as the Germans occupied the city for a year. As in many of the old- er cities, people were only admit- ted through certain gates and some of these gates still stand in Florence. The main attraction here was the beautiful Pltti Pal- ace. Erected many years ago by a wealthy family, this palace con- tains over Vnrec hundred rooms. with beautiful palntlngspot Raph- ael (the Madonna and Child). Titian. etc. The ceilings were beautifully carved and there were many lovely tables in mosaic work.

From there we drove to Mich: l- angelo's Square. with its Statue f

Unhappy Bride

Musf Learn Marriage Isnfi Continual Petting Party

DEAR. MISS DIX: I am a very unhappy bride. and unless you can help me I do not know what to do. I am 16 years old and have been married eight weeks. I was very happy for the first six weeks, but since two weeks ago I can see that my husband's love for me is dying and it breaks my heart. He doesn't kin me good-bye when he leaves in the morning and I have to kill him If I get a good-night kiss at all. 1 try in every way to please him. but nothing seems to do any good. We made a promise before we got married that we would never let our romance fade, and here it is going right before my eyes. What can I do?

AN UNHAPPY WIFE

ANSWER: If you have any common sense. use It. At any rate. try to act like a grown-up married ' woman. since you are marrlred. instead of a silly crybaby who has developed a fine case of self-pity and is making her- self miserable for her lmuginlngs. If you were old enough to have any knowledge of life. you would know that your marriage is Just going through the inevitable period of settling down that every marriage does when a bride and groom descend from the heights of courtship to the flat realities of mat- rlmony.

MAKE THE BEST OF IT

You can't help it or change it. You will have to make the best of it and realize that because your husband doesn't kiss you every time he goes andrcomes is no sign he has ceased to love you. It is be- cause kisses used to be a rarity when he was courting you and now they are commonplace. And it is no sign he has ceased to love you because he doesn't make life a perpetual petting party for you. He is doing something a lot better. He is trying to make you a comfort- able llvlng. and believe me, my dear. the test of a husband's love Is not how many pretty speeches he makes nor how often he kisses her. but how hard he is willing to work for his wife.

DEAR MISS DIX: I have a very nice friend. the mother of two children who are completely undisciplined. She frequently telephones and asks me to meet her for lunch and shopping, but as I am a nervous wreck after a session with these youngsters. I am always making excuses for not meeting her. In a restaurant. the children throw food around, climb on -the tables. argue, and in general act like a couple of untrained animals. My friend is very sensitive and I don't want to hurt her fr;-clings. but I would like to know what ex- cuses I can make to get out of these dates.

R. R.

ANSWER: You could invent an ailment that requires you to bcp completely quiet. or some work that keeps you continuously busy, but that's about all I could suggest in the line of drastic excuses. The conventional social flbs for getting out of unsouglit. engagements-.1 sudden headache. dentist's appointment, etc.--can only be used temp- orarily. I doubt if your friend is as sensitive as you think. so why not come right out and tell her the children are a bit too noisy for you to take in unadulterated doses?

If the savants who gather around television cameras and tell us what's wrong with the world would cast their eyes nearer home, a very potent source of trouble could he seen in the rude. undisciplined. inconsiderate children of today. Too many parents lack the time to teach manners. or consider such teaching unimportant. It Is actually one of the most vital things a child should learn. coming only after respect for the authority of God. country and family. No one will ever extend a welcome to an unmannered chlldvcr teenager-or adult. The youngster who has never learned the manners and graces that should almost be inherent. will grow up to be the person who sits around all day moping. "Why don't I have friends?" and "Why can't I be popular?" '

DEAR MISS DIX: When I married three months ago. .I already had a 5-year-old daughter. I have never been married before. and rrgy huszand wants to adapt the child. We want to know how to go a out t is.

GLORIA ANSWER: Local laws in adoption matters vary so much from

place to place that it would be best for you to seek legal gdvjce, you Wm ""3 U153 EVEMUBUY anyway. for drawing up the necessa .v papers.

Ths only church we visited in Florence (The Piazza Croce) con- tained I. monument which we were told was the inspiration of the statue Of Liberty monument on Bcdloes Island. New York. In this church also is Mlchselang- elo's onument and tomb.

The shops in Florence were fill- ed with hand tooled leather art- icles cvf very intricate design which were priced very reasonab- ly. On our tour we were taken in behind one of the shops where the articles were being made and It was very interesting to watch the different processes from the raw material to the finished pro- duct. I understand that the greater part of this work is done in Florence.

OUTTING DOWN ON IALI DIG FACTOE IN BIG! DIET T0 LOWER BIDOD PRESSURE

It is known that. in general. Chinese poopla living in china have lower blood pressure than do United states and Canadian peo- ple living in America. It is also known that when Chinese live in America for some time their blood pressure rises; similarly Ameri- cans living in China for some time have I gradual lowering of their blood pressure. This raising and lowering of where one lives, has always been attributed to the fact that the Chinese as a race have always lived at I loss rapid rate than we do here. While it is admitted that the quiet life of the Chinese is a big factor in causing lower blood pressure. our research workers are telling us that it Is because the Chinese make rice their principal food that causes their pressure to remain low. Other research work- ers state that it is the low or small amount of salt in what is known as the "rice diet" that is responsible for the decrease in the blood pressure and decrease in weight in those who are over- weight.

The rice diet, is strictly follow- ed, will lower the blood pressure temporarily, yet physicians know that following the rice diet is dif- flcult and may cause weakness. A report on the rice diet ls,there- fore worth studying.

In The American Journal of Medicine. New York. Drs. D. M. Wat!-tin. H. F. Froeb, F. T. Hatch and A. B. Gulman record the ef- fects of hospltilization on 86 pat- ients with high blood pressure who were given a. regular diet to get. their lowest or base-line pres- sure. Fifty of these patients in whom the base or lowest pressure (on a regular diet for ten weeks) had been found were then put on the rice diet was reduced. How- ever. lt was found that cutting down on table salt (sodium chlo- ride) and other foods rich in sod- ium lowered the blood pressure by about the same amount 11': did the rice diet.

I am repeating the above facts for my readers because following the strict rice diet imposes sucn hardship on the patient and so much difficulty in control as to make it impractical for general use.

Ilays - Maclaren Wedding

In the Chapel of St. Peters Anglican Cathedral at ten o'clock on June 5th. Hazel Mae. daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Mac- Laren, Cable Head West, became the bride of Nicholas Georgexays, son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank N. Kays, Charlottetown. The Rev. Canon E. M.
