Sena-tor F. Elsie Inman has been a guest this past week of the Hon. T.W. " L. Prowse and Mrs. Prowse at Government House, Charlcltetown.
Senator F. Elsie Inman has been visiting friends recently in Summerside.
Mr. Earl_ D-rake, formerly: of

a smirking conspiracy to enjoy their suggestive exchange of im- proper ideas —’ supposedly in a way that can’t be proved against them. And quite in the spiritvof this immoral performance, they are dishonestly insisting that black is white—that they are above _ reproach whereas your mind is in the gutter, with Brian’s. . .
As for what you might do to clean up the situation——the first move towards sanity, all around, is to get straight on this point: Their conduct is wrong. Indeed it is emotionally sick, consider- ing the whole picture.
You have every reason to ob- ject to .-Kate’s bawdy. behavior as your guest. And as a sensible mother and a woman of.charac- text, you should call her down in plain language, in private if pos- sible; but in the presence of Brian and Ken, if necessary. And at the risk of creating a family rift that might neverfheal, if such is the price of taking a stand in support of common decency. '

As our guest, she runs about the house in a. scanty sleeping robe; -or dashes to the bathroom in no clothes. Also’ while here, often she stays abed until noon, at times un-clad, with th door open, leaving the care of her children to me. I love them and the opportunity to be with them, but she doesn’t ask the privilege-just assumes it. Most, of this behavior is when her husband (my son) is away- but my husband is home. Once I heard" Brian (my son) remon- strate with Kate about her scanty apparel, and she snapped that it was just his dirty mind that saw anything wrong. Iget much the same answer
me of jealousy if I object to his flirtatious encouragement of her. Or if I protest, privately, his suggestive quips at her, or his own half - clad appearances at times, draped in a towel or wearing shorts, he says my re- marks are out of order. His scorn is monumental. He says, “You talk as if I were making passes at her. . . .”
Maybe I am jealous or stupid, but somehow I can’t accept this as sound behavior. I don’t know how to "curb it," without causing a family rift—which I definitely don't want.

Mrs. J. A. Likely, the former Miss Helen DeBlois, and Miss Janzen were enjoying a conver- sation as both had been students at MacDonald College, Guelph, at approximately the same time and had many friends in common.

CHROMOSOMES X AND Y- Male or female, each child it conception receives 24 chromo- somes (particles of living mat- ter) from his father, 24 from his
' mother. One of each set is called
the “sex” chromosome. These “sex chromosomes are of two types. There is a very long one contain- ing many genes, called the “X” chromosome. The other is very short, with few genes and is call- ed the “Y” chromosome. Now the female has ‘only “X” chromo-
somes and so hands down an “X”

to every child. But the sex chrom- osomes of the male are of th two types — an X and a Y. If the fa- ther’s “X” C h r o m o s o m e joins the mother‘s “X” (and as we said, she can only contribute an “X”) an “XX” in- dividual — a girl baby will be started on her way.” But if the new life receives the “Y"’ chrom- osome from the father’s “XY” combination, there will be a boy baby. (Interesting that the moth- er’-s failure to bear sons can be “blamed” on the father!)
THE SINGLE “X”
Now it is the fact that the male has just one X chro-mosome that mu-ch of his troubles lies. “(The “Y” chromosome is actually a blank so far as sex determination is concerned, and can be said to ‘merely got along for the ride’)”, If an abnormal gene turns up in a male’~s single “X” (says Am- ram Scheinfield) he is at its mer- cy whereas a female usually has a normal gene in her extra “X” to counteract a defective one. A good example of an X-linked de- fect is hemophilia which almost never afflicts females. Other ex- amples are color blindness and a host of other defects or diseases of the eyes, bones, muscles, skin
