A famous old saying is “There is nothing like leather", whllo men have made clever substitutes in modern times, none of these can equal leather in all respects of beauty, strength, durability and wide range of usefulness.
Leather dressing was known to the ancient Egyptians, We read that in the days of Egypt's glory a part of the City was set aside ‘for the. tanners.
If you should visit our museums today you would see leather straps and belts which were used by those people for binding the mummies of persons who lived during the reign of King Solomon. Indeed, there are few nations, ancient or modern, to whom leather has not been known and many are the uses to which ft has been put. History tells us that the Romans used it at one time for money, and some of the earliest known cannon were made of this material.
The art of making articles of leather is generally known as lea- thercraft, and those that occupy themselves at this work claim it

i DOROTHY DIX SAYS-
Recreafion For Husbands
Husband And Wife Neeci Occasional Separate Entertainment -
(Continued on page 12)
DEAR MISS DIX: I am s young married man with two children. I don't smoke, drink or gamble. I never go to a show or a banquet alone. I take my family out to some place of musement at least once a week. My wife keeps the house and is n good mother. I think she is a worthy wife and that I am a worthy husband, but, somehow we don't agree. There is too much wrangling and poutlng a‘! the reason of it is because occasionally I want to attend a. ball game alone or to play cords with men alone. My wife pouts for a week when I do it and complains that I don't want to take her anywhere. While I am at work she sees her friends and goes to shows and belongs to card clubs, etc., which ls all right with me, but why should 1 not now and then have the-privilege of seeing my friends?
M. I. W.
ANSWER: Of course, you should have tho privilege of going out alone sometimes, and your wife is silly and selfish to try to deny it to you. If she had any knowledge of life or any breadth of vision she would know that a man has need of some relax- ation just as much as a woman has and that a man craves masculine companionship just as much as a woman does feminine.
Any woman would think herself very badly used if her husband objected to her hen parties or if he insisted on going with her shopping or if he didnt want her to go to a bridge game where he couldn't go. She doesnt think for a minute that her husband should monopolize all of her leisure time, but she thinks that every minute of his spare time should be given to her and she raises ructions if he wants to go to a ball game without her or to play poker of an evening. '
Funny how wives think they have so much more right to boss their husbands than their husbands have to boss them. I wonder how they get that way?
And I also wonder how any woman expects her husband to keep loving her if she pouts, which is a childish and lowdown method of trying to get her own way.
DOROTHY DIX
DEAR MISS DIX: I am a woman of 45 and am thinking of running for Representative. Some of my friends think it is foolish. Others think it is a good idea as long as my maid could look after my home and children. What do you think of women being in public office?
M
ANSWER: No reason in tho world why s woman should not hold a public offico if the position sho seeks is ono that sho is fitted to flil and she can get elected to it. But the way to any public office is a thorny one to tread and one filled with heart-burnings and anxieties. and beset with the slimy serpents of slander. Before you reach your goal you will be bruised and battered by tho hard knocks you got and
I you will have lost many a friend. so think long beforo you give up your
peaceful homo life for politics.
As for Women pursuing a political or any other kind of csroor, I think the determining factor is always how much they are needed at home. Certainly no woman who has little children. or adolescent chil- dren who need their mother far more than babies do, has any right to pursue a career unless she is absolutely driven to it by financial neces- sity. Her job is in her own home. That is the one that God is going to hold her responsible for, and woe to her if she is a quittor.
No hired servants, however competent they may be, can take the place of a mother, because the mother glvos children something that is necessary to their development which no other human being can give them. It takes mother love, mother patience, mother understand- ing to solve tho problems of little souls and steer young lives in the right direction.
And a woman who has a good husband is ‘oolish to swap him off for a career. Of course, most women don't intend to do this. They think they can have their cake and cot it, foo, and that husband will stay put while they are off campaigning or lecturing or what not. ‘iut he doesn't. Some other woman always gets him, and only too often tho woman finds out that tho career has failed and hor husband has
been lost, too. DOROTHY DIX
DEAR MISS DIX: I sm a boy of 19 vory much in lovo with a girl of 16. Con a girl of 16 know the meaning of saving? Most girls want to see how much a boy can spend on them, but this one is different. Can she really mean it‘!
barrio:
ANSWER: Most girls of 16 belong to tho Gimme family, They think of nothing but having a good flmo and grabbing everything in sight, so if you have found one who considers your pocket-book you have discovered a marvel. But she is too young to marry or for you to be certain what she is going to develop into.

is the most fascinating of all liob- bles. O In a recent interview with the Hardy Bros, whose new quarters are located on Kent Street, the writer learned a good deal about the process of harness making, as‘ well as some of the high-lights in the trade, but much of this informa- tion will have to be passed up owing to lack of space. After completing his apprentice- ship under Robert Toombs, Citv, Mr. Stanley Hardy went into busi- ness for himself. That was back in 1915. Four years later, or in 1919. he was joined by his brother Harry, and ever since they have operated under the trade name of S. L. Hardy & Co. Incidentally, they are the only makers of harness left in the City, whereas there used to be three large and busy shops in addition to theirs, namely: Pickards, Rodds, Stumbles. In the heyday of harness mak- ing and repairing, these shops em- ployed approximately thirty hands. Farmers living in the vicinity of Charlottetown are well acquainted with the Hardy Bros, and the high-class workmanship they've turned out. over the years. Before the advent of the auto. and when young fellows drove their best gels in a buggy drawn by a prancing steed, you'd see many of these animals wearing uniforms that had been purchased at Hardy's shop-harness artistically mounted and hand made. n
