We do have. the nicest chats with the birds and the animals about. Wordy, when the children ,are present, or it may be word- less as today. Silly? Perhaps, though there a.re those who de- clare that it is humans’ loss not to have the gift of understand- ing them, since they do speak in knowing tongues of their own.
“What’s them?” a sparrow-bird neat .and pretty, questioned peer- ing curiously over the edge of the back - verandah roof this af- ternoon at the baskets James was carrying from the house to a pig- gery across the yard.

“Oh no. Every occasion is dif- ferent and interesting. Sometimes there is only a small litter, while at others there are so many, one immediately begins to make a list in mind of the things she will buy! A new hat, or a frock. . .”

Government House is a 160 yea!’ old buffe and beautiful old ina- hogany chairs. The picture above the buffet is a very old print of the Fathers of Confederation. His Excellency Most Reverend Bishop MacEachern o f f e r e d grace. The toast to The Queen was given by His Honour, The Lieutenant Governor. ‘ Rev. Donald Campbell, presi- dent of the Ministerial Associa- tion of Prince Edward Island,‘ was a guest.
In the drawing - room much interest was_ shown by guests in the interesting pieces of furni- ture belonging to the Hyndman family. Among these was a slip- per ohair embroidered in wine colored needlepoint. There was also a portrait of Mrs. Robert Harris, wife of the Canadian Ar- tist. Harris was a grand - as now. And to look in on the small things when they have cud- dled down with their mother, is one of the most engaging sights on the farm.”
Also a Maytime-litter we had at Alderlea this afternoon with a spring- mist banding in filmy gray the heights of t-he valley and a bride of sparrow-bird out of Scripture was hearing nesting ma-

Dear Mary Haworth: I am considering‘ marrying a divorcee who has »a seven-year-old son. It appears that this diVorcee’s former husband makes a 200- mile trip, a couple of times a year, to see her and their son—. bringing presents and acting in a very friendly manner.
My quandary is this: In the event that'I marry this woman, I should want» to legally adopt the boy and guide him—-along with his mother’s guidance, of course —in the direction I thought best. But inasmuch as his father is, apparently, still interested in the boy, I feel that he might exert his influence on him in various

Would it be considered im- reasonalhle to request this _m~a_n to not ever see his son again,‘ in view of a new father coming into the picture? I would be grateful for your views on the subject. — E. B. MAKE HASTE ISLQWLY
Dear E. B.: You.can’tg‘go into a private huddle ~wi.th a confiden- tial adviser. and" arrive at right answers to th-eques-tiovnls lat is- sue. You wilL~have to explore pos-sible avenues of constructive procedure, in open-minded ‘ judi- cious exchange with the hoy’s two natural parents.

If you are truly devoted to the
lady, and‘ seriously want to share her life’in a helpful way, accepting the role of father to her son, then I think you should get acquainted with the former hus- band, since he too is still inter- ested. . The purpose would be to try to establish a friendly understand- ing with him, as regards the good spirit of your intentions.
If he finds you a man whom he can like and respect, he may feel relieved to turn over the guard- ianship of the boy to you—and re- cede into the background as a faroff friend and wel-l-wisher.
But if, on the other hand, he gets the idea that you are a xbusylbody, trying to push him out
all the way, determined to give you a hard time. Rather than let yourself in for that, you had better bypass the lady, I think.
