‘THE GUARDIAN. CHARLUFTETOWN

Ellen ’s Diary

By an Island Farmer's Wife

This day has been cold and chilly, of the trying calibre of those that come occasionally through the cold- er seasons, perhaps only to have _folks the better appreciate the de- light of the fairer ones. Skies stay-

ed dark and forbidding and the wind came blusterlng coldly over the frozen fields and tossed wood- lands to the North, driving frequent snow-flurrles before it. And when we spoke of it in the sheltered barnyard as we carried the morn- ing pails to the calves. James stop- ped a minute to get the feel of it on his face to reckon "there's a good bit of East too" in its blow- ing. However. while tidings receiv- ed by way of the radio told of heavy snowfall in the Canadian West, at: Alderlea, hilltops and fields remalped mostly bare of it. and any sielghing was along patches

of ice. s

Pleasant indeed it is to be able to go unhindered by snowy paths or drift-closed doors, and easily, to our chorlng. But there was no doubt of today's chill. It penetrat- ed the thickest garments. search- ing out. one's marrow, and looking out on the scene, the women-folk pitted the men who in the face of it were content to continue the wood-sawing. And all the while, February, leaving us to coniecture as to the weather it will offer in future, bore folks swiftly anti sure- ly along towards Spring. e o o

Considering the cold and cheer- less day, it was altogether pleasant for us at Alderlea that Pat's letter arrived today-—the very first com- munication we have had from him. Pat is no relation of the family. except as he used to say when we mentioned such things: "Shure an‘ aren't we all related~all children of Adam?“ But as helper to Mr. S. whose rear acres lie just across the road from ours, he and his in- terests for several years moved often into our ken.

o a e One could catch sight of Pat driv- ing a picturesque herd to pasture on dewy Summer mornings anti taking them home to the milking when the sun was slipping away to glorious colors behind the tips of the trees up the creek. Or doing a spot of fencing perhaps, or again at other seasonal work sometimes with a "pussel" of small fellows and a dog following, for Pat is con- siderate and kind to “wee lads" as he calls them. “The baby'li go ta Pat," a mother laughed to me “when she wouldn't go . . . no, not to the minister! You should see the pleas- ed smile on her face when Pat

comes!"

eon

This Winter Put is in the city “doing fine" the letter said, and "liking it" though I suspect he sometimes longs for those outings, with his faithful lantern, that at evening often took him as far as a neighbour's or perhaps to "kay- ley" a spell at the corner-store. We miss his light along the dam. and often on a Sunday morning. when the world is still, I look out above the hilltop, where the maples marchso prettiiy, and am curious- 1y disappointed not to find Pat there, walking briskly or maybe driving the white mare that so often carried him the distance to

his church.

But‘ "I still remember your name in my prayers, Ellen." Pat wrote. and not yours alone hut . mgny Blwllilfl. always so kind to me in the district. Now what would this world be like without women? A queer place indeed it would he, I'm thinking if everything was left with us men.’ It was stranie to read Pat's written words. though in my refilling. I heard that musical bro- gue of his rich in my mind.

O I O

One wonders ‘which feature of women-kind intrigues Pat the must, Doubtless, if‘ oucstloned on that

The Stars Say--

By Genevieve Ike/sable

i

For Saturday, February 19

THE indications are for a definite upswing in events, well under way to direct progress and fulflliments, in business, finance, career, as well as all domestic, social and affec- tlonal associations and understand- ings. It would be wise to work to- ward greater scope, expansion and long-range security under this drive, in which opportunities for de- sired gain, progress and happiness are shown.

For 'the Birthday

Those whose birthday it is. are assured of an era for production. growth and expansion, with all af- filiations promising gain. advance- ment, public and private emolu- ments and rewards for ambitious projects and aspirations. Good judg- ment, large vision, benevolent and generous feelings, should bring so- cial. professional and business rec- ognitlon, tvlth domestic and roman- tic gratification.

A child barn on this day will be well endowed with talents. aspira- tions and also fair fortune for a successful and happy career, with tokens of prefermcnt from supe- riors.

Crosby's as quoted in a recent Reader's Digest: “The first thing I observe about a woman is. her eyes: if they twinkle she has a sense of humor and can take a rib-and l dearly love to rib a dame.” Another celebrity-Edward Fenton-put his first impressions this way: "Often a woman will think that beauty shops and styl- ists can give her all she needs- nnd she ends up as a rather at- tractive packaged commodity, hut, not much more. it takes more than that to be noticed as a woman. It takes a certain inner awareness. A woman who has this has poise, and everything radiates around this bal- ance . . the way she speaks, looks, dresses, muves; so that one is not aware of anything specific, like a handsome hat, or a wcll-cut dress or a warm voice, but of everything at once, and cspecinllv of the factthnt she is a woman, and knows it fully."

But James. if asked would he hound to agree with Victor Mc- Lmzlen. He would "notice hands. Not the shape of them so much an "i? will’ a woman uses them."--at the moment. to "p.11 down me pol. Ellen, and let's have a cup of tea!"
