ANSWER-There is one bitter thlnl that middle-aged women will have b0 I accept as a. fact, that they can neither lgnom nor overcome, and that ls thit- when they look for employment their ». - ,1, .-. age is a. handlcap. This cannot be wholly explained by the theory that men have unorous eyes ‘m5 B!!!" to be surrounded by lyoung and may U18 rlihfl‘ than by Ell-Ill WWW" who have lost their colts. It lugey because experience has taught them that. girls are more adaptable, more amenable t0 discipline and easier to teach than women who are settled ln their 0111mm‘ ""1 Wh° have been accustomed to bosslng rather than being bcsscd.

vdh and can for pruned and staked tomatoes. and the fruits keeD cleaner.

Pfunlng tomatoes ls easy to d0. but, it; keeps you busy, When these plants really get growing they 1c- mlnd you of Jack's bean stalk. The! plant which you will set out. some-| time after May 15, will have u‘ shingle stem. You do not trim 1,1115 plant. not even to lessen the ton. as used to be the custom. Let all the leaves stay on, until the plant has become establlshec and begun to

Grow. Watch. it because t you will find branches start- ing from the original stem. and in n few days they will grow so large you will hate t0 cut them down. The tomato naturally grows a branch at the point where a. leaf joins ihe stem; and these branches in tum grow other branches, and a plant so sprawly and unweldly la produced that you cannot. pos- sibly tle it up on a stake or fence. If you axe vigilant, you will see these branches start as tiny growths which can be pinched off with the finger null. The usual practice is to allow the first one, formed near the ground. w grow so that your plant has two stems. Pinch off all the others. and these two selected stems will grow in rich soll as high as you like. - Tbmawes require all the sun you an give them; fertile soil. plenty of water. and extra. feedlng when fmits have set. The care with which your plants ore set 1n the garden has much in do with suc- cesf. Do not plant them out too eary

almost over-

Your plants growng under pro- teoiAon will grow faster indoors than out. in cool weather; so ncth~ ing is lost by waiting until warm weather ls well established.

LEARN TO SPEAK FRENCH

Don't think that because you know how to speak English it h not necessary for you to learn hon to speak French! The two language: are essential, they are the official languages of the world and espec- ially now when we have so many Fighting French on the Allied sldl we might need to speak the languags sometime.

War changes many things and you lay to yourself, “Why should l learn French-France ll overrun by the Nazis, and I can never vlsli there," but things will change. France will once more be freed by the Allies and her tourist travel will be as great as ever.

Canadians particularly should learn the language because of the large element of French-Canadian: in our midst. ‘

Most people want 1o learn the language but fear it too dlflcult.

Our Ell-page booklet is an excel- IQM bekinning for those starting to ham to understond French. You soon become femilin with every- day French expressions and know "w. fundamentals of the language.

Also, women must reallu the fact that in the lest twenty-five years buslness methods have changed just as 011613311111 else has. Labor- suvlng devices have been introduced into of es and s0 the experience that a woman had a quarter of a. century ago ls practically 0f X10 "We whatever today’. The typlst has lost her speed, her fingers are not so nimble as those of the leen-year-old girl who has just come out of a business college Nor does the skill of the old bcokkee r count in a}! office that. ls full of adding machines and other gadgets at She WOI-lldn i’- know how to work.

But there ls one field of labor open to the middle-aged woman for which she is prepared, ln which there ls never enough labor to go around, and in which at the present moment she can practically write her own ticket, and that ls dumestlc service. Cooking. Housework. Takin care of children. The fabulous wages paid in defense _ j ‘= have a 0st depopulated the kitchens and the nurseries. Nearly everybody! cook has passed up the gas range for the rlvetln machine, and nursie is help- ing make almlanes instead of damlng lltt e Johnny's socks and 111m to walk in the park; also innumerable mothers have heard the voice of their country calling them to run canteens instead of their own homes and entertain soldiers instead of amuslxxg the baby.

And this has left a gap 1n the employment situation that the middle- aged woman who wants a. job can flll with profit 0o all concerned.

I am not foolish enough and optifnistic enough to believe that many

huddle-a ed women wlll be willln to cam money ln this way‘ because they are oo proud to work in snot er woman's home, tho h t ey would be perfectly willing to work in her shop or her dress-m g establish-
