Ellen's Diary

Dy an Inland Inner’: Wife

It in n strong wind that blows in from the shore tonight, bearing the tang of the salt to me here at a window. A strange breeze, though well-remembered, I, an inland dweller. now find it. and inclined It first meeting to makq one drowsy. 0r 1t may be that the pu- low, I can reach out to touch, look»

pleasant day. Apparently on a lone- some march, the wind complains s- bout the eaves and at the sound my thoughts return to the folks at Alderlea. O

Does this wind sweep lontly down the valley there? And rides James hear it? And hearing. find the old house emlpty in my ab- sence? And rouse from a troubled sleep to tuck the coverlet metO closely about his shoulders and a- gain burrow a bit deeper into his pillow to court its return? Or dis- turbing thought that it could toe- ls he this very moment stepping home briskly from an interestnng "kayley" without even my name in his mind, not a mite desolate and concerned only with his farm cares, wondering what the weather will be like on Monday, and should he. or not, have cut that next piece this morning? But then again, and bow discouraging it can bel he would be homing to darkened win- dows. windows without a glimmer of any welcoming light. Pard would be there‘ to give a bark of greeting, that tonight would linger a tong time on the quiet of lt there. Yes. this wind will sweep down along our valley, but not nearly so brisk- ly as lt does here and there wiLl be no sound of passing cars and lumbering trucks there, as now dis- turbs the serenity of this night.

O O O

I came away from Alderlea this afternoon, left the folks at the haying, and every care and in the glory of the Summer day returned to another home -one still as precious as ever, though now for me often set with scenes from the past years. In a way it is the same as always, though children are gone from the old roof tree, and the parents come now "to mect." alone. The house is as always, fill- ed with familiar furniture and pic- tures -even the house-plants are of a line I know. Out of KING'S, there has been changes. I miss the wide-spreading and ancient elm,

and handsome sacrificed to the march of time, but presently com- pensated for by the gain of the broad new highway, which will run iin a dark ribbon of road to con-

tinue across Canada. O O

.'I‘hough I doubt that this benefit will counterbalance their loss to the folks here. But a new elm may be planted, and even now from the

'roots of the old poplars, a shoot is seeking a favorable opportunity to come to the light of day. The farm is the same. Clovery meadows pasture the cattle; I saw the hay and grain lands wave in the sun- light; the potatoes and turnips and mangels are in straight rows. green and vigorous and the brook wnlch for generations has watered the farm, still wanders merrily shore- ward. But pausing broadly in the farm lane as of old, to water thirs- ty flocks and herds -to shelter the singers that bless the Spring nights and to provide swimming places for successive families of ducks.

Mother

Proper Goo all 0 ll I Daughter is; lfslal adult:

Th! mannsins mother. who is the promoter of her daughters’ for- tunes, always has been the subject of much adverse criticism. The par- cnts of wallflowers have accused her of being a schemer husband- mmlfl’ Hid. match-maker. and of having hawked her girls around in the market place as if they were so many lambs for sale to the highest bidder.

These mothers, Whose daughters still hung on to the parent bough-altttough they were" getting a little over-rlpe-have said that. thank Heaven. they had never press agented their girls or raised a fin- B01‘ to get them married off. This attitude, o! course, serves ll l good alibi in case Sally and Mamie develop into old molds. but it is highly ll- logfcal. For every mother docs want. her daughters to marry and she deserves blame, not praise, l! she does not help them to make good mgtchgg Everyone concedes that a father does no more than his duty when he m” V1 Rive his sons a start in life by helping them to get good jobs. so why should a mother be held up to scorn when she does her ash?‘ With?’ he!‘ dlilshters make marriages that wll‘. give them worth-

KEEPING ACTIVE A5 WI GROW OLDER

11bi- many leer: our children's specialists tame in for well-de- served praise because by saving ths lives of mfanfs and children from the dread summer diarrhoea, dip- therla and otter diseases of child- ren. they extend the life span for many years.

Thus, even 30 years 3,30 the deem rate at birth and during the first year was 3 in every l0; today the death rate at this age is about 1 in 20. However, the fact so many lmore inflintss and lzabies came through this period safely meant ‘that many of tihern would not be russed one would die at and before middle age.

It is only o-o true that ‘we are losing many men and women at middle age because of heart and blood vessel ailments, yet the aver- age length or span of l‘fe is in- creasing at a more trapid rate than ever before.

Until very recently we have look- ed upc-n the age of ‘lo-the three score years and ten-as the limit that most of u.» will ever attain. It_ will come as a surprise tnen to be told by our rvm actuarial friends that '10 soon nlll be the ‘average’ span of life, ubf. just for a few.
