The Week ~

Small, semi-formal dinner par- ties, to which guests are invited by telephone the same day, have become a specialty of Princess Elizabeth and the Duke of Edin- burgh since they moved into their home at Clarence House, St. James’: Park. Very often no more than six friends are invited at one time. First they receive a call from a footman at Clarence House. Then Elizabeth or the Duke will be switched through. “Would you care to dine with us tonight?" Casual as the invitation may sound, it is rareiv refused except on grounds of ill health, for even in these democratic days an in- vitation from the King or his family still is in the nziture of a royal command. Dinner is at 8 p.m., which means ilint guests are expected to arrive not later than 7:45, Ladies usually wear their most glamorous evening gowns; their escorts dress in white tie and tails. When the front door opens guests are surprised to find that this royal residence has no hall. They step directly into a long passage which has cream- painted walls and a coffee-colored carpet. Leading off this passage are the dining-room and a small ante-room. Here the princess and her husband wait for their guests. and in the few minutes before dinner is served srerry and cock- iails are uttered, poured by the

TIJGEMIINAL NIUILLGIA _. TIC DOUIDUREUX

For s number of yesrs I had sn illustrated chart hanging in my of- flce showing the distribution of the branches of the trigcitniual nerve which supplies the entire side of the face. It helped patients to see how even s single root of s tooth. if infected. might but did not sl- ways. affect the entire side of the head and face.

When the plexus or ganglion (nerve group) is disturbed by Ln- fection or by other causes includ- ing emotion. injury. chilling. there are paroxysms (severe sudden st- tacks) of unbearable pain which fortunately last only a second or two. A dull ain is always present and the se e attack of pain may occur from such simple acts as eat- ing. talking, imishing the face, cold Winds. _

In the “Canadian Medical As- sociation Journal.“ Dr. D. Naidrett White, Kingston. states that in his opinion many cases with symp- toms of trigeminal neuralgia are due to emotional disturbances. and such cases should not be treated as are cases of true trifacial neuralgia (tic douloureux), that is by injec- tions of alcohol or surgical opera- tion.

In the treatment of this disease, many forms of treatment hae been and are being tried. but only two are of sny repute. "No drugs are effective against pain of this sev- erity and these patients are notor- iously resistant to opiates which relieve the pain."

The two reputable forms of treat- ment are (a) the surgical removal of the part of the root. transmitting the pain and (b) the injection of alcohol into the nerve plexus or ganglion from which issue the nerves supplying the outer tissues of the face.

Dr. White. while admitting that surgery gives excellent results when performed by s skilled nerve surg- eon, greatly fsvors the injections of alcohol because no elaborate surgical equipment is necessary snd the patient is grateful for "some" feeling left in his face after treat- ment by injections.

Despite it simplicity as compared to surgical operations, however, the injections should only be used after considerable preparatory work by the physician as alcohol impro- periy injected con do great harm.

Wifeiy Virtues

Men Think They Want Love. Domesticity Thrift In Maie——Do They?

It is a curious thing that the three virtues that men think that they most desire in their wives they don't really want at all. Or rather they want them in a very limited and modified degree.

The first is, of course, love. Every man imagines that he wants his wife to be so madly infatuated with him that her every thought and interest is centered in him until she has no life apart from him.

- But. in reality. there is nothing that a man can get fed up on so quickly as love. It is nearly always the perfectly devoted wives who have phllanderhig hus- bands, and the reason for this is plain. They are sur- feited with adulation. It is not the worshipping wives who have the adoring husbands. It is the wives who keep their husbands guessing.

Likewise men discover that an oversupply of love ~ is the heaviest burden that a woman can lay on a man's shoulders. It can break his back and crush him down until he is nothing but the dust beneath her feet. It can smother him until it expcls the last; breath of freedom from his nostrils. It can paralyze his ambitions, cripple his energy. kill his spirit and make him that most abject of all creatures-a brow-beaten, henpecked husband.

T00 MUCH IJOVE

Too much love is too much sugar in the lemon pie of life. What s man really wants in a wife is one who loves him well enough to dare the adventure of matrimony with him. and who makes her af- fection a fire that warms him without consuming him. One who makes her kisses a treat instead of a chore.

Then there is domesticity. Men are strong on domesticity in wo- men. Appnrently their ideal of the perfect wife is the snail. who carries her house on her ack wherever she goes. There is no woman they cxcoriate more than she who gads about to clubs and shops and mstinees and teas and such. And there is no woman they more extol than the one who has no interests outside of her house and who boasts

This week also offered the far- mers much work to their hands~ the seasonal fencing in a re-ar- ranging of pastures-which follows on the heels of cleared stubbles. Stack-yards were fenced and root- fields. to protect them from the inroads of prowling stock. When skies were favorable, some time was given over to the threshing and there were the occasions when grain was gathered into barns. We recall with some re- gret. though realizing that nothing can stay its breath, that the frost claimed the more tender of the plants in the flower border in re- cent days. a toll we must always pay early. for the privileges oi living "down by the old mill stream.“ And thus at Alderles we lived the last of September's days, exchanging all at once the blue and gold of that harvest month for "October's bright blue weather."
