And hearing his bark we smil- eu ieinemoering that on a sum- mm-..v1onday of the past a black log himself went to school. That ttals in an earily week of our first mm as school ma'am in a snug island school set down at a quiet crossroad. We had spent the week- end as was usual at our home by the Strait and now were on the Monday morning trek back to our classes.

'i'he driver and rig which had conveyed us part of the way had turned homeward. and was past recall, when suddenly the dogof home came beside us with on I'm- going-wit-you-Ellen look in his eyes. So along we walked shaggy black animal and gingham-clad girl. It was a lonely road with not a house in sight. only wood- ed areas and the far fieldd of farms.

Through a remembered and en- trancing aisle of green it wound. down now to one of the quietest places of the earth. where a brook emerged from a rustic bridge and with a little song stole shyly away into foray banks of wood- lauds beside. Up the rise beyond it we went. the dog keeping close beside us in this strange and ex- tended outing he had chosen.

"You would have been better if! at home" we offered. I-ie look- ed up at our words and showed a tongue in a confident grin. Soon the school was in sight and about it a pretty pastoral of Church and .s. house and grove and

Intelligent con- centration on, the task automa- tically precludes "conversational" interruptions. so you probably do talk too freely at your place of employment. Practise com- posure combining courtesy with economy of words.

2. If George were present when compliments from men were given you. he would know you weren't behaving in an unseemly manner -if you weren't. And if he doesn't know. it suggests these compil- ments are given out of his hear- ing; so why repeat them to him? No sense to it. Such self-praise isn't charming. modest or tactful. The wise wife encourages her husband to feel that she treasures his .cornplimenta only.

I. At a party of friends. gtxid form requires a married woman to be lmgartially pleasant to all guests, a owing favoritism only towards her husband (regardless of how she feels). If another man repeatedly asks her to dance. she may accept two.or three times. but no more - after catch- ing her husband's eye. to get his assent. if his eye says "No." or "Don't" - she should casually dismiss the petitioner, with a graceful excuse. Say you are eit- ting this one outl or you must catch your breath, or you mustn't impose on him -- or whatever.

4. To ask whether you may. with roprlety, golf with other men. unch with them. ride with them. admit them to the house in your husband's absence, etc.. implies that other men are too much on your mind. Most ood wives aren't lunching, go riding or visiting tote-tete with "othu men" - for the simple reason that emotional integri rules out such meaningless sel- expenditure. Given sound self- esteem. you wouldn't be flirting and fearing criticism. You would indeed let ood conscience be your guide. on and George need a bit of intensive psychiatric help. ioputyoubothoathebeamof heathy thought-feeling. M. II.

"I meant both. Madame. A little dried ginger root is excellent in slewing winter pears. prunes. or in making applesauce. It is better to use than ground ginger, because it leaves no cloudy color and can be removed after cooking." "Of course. most homemakers know how to use ground ginger. but I have discovered a new use for it. A little gives a nice bite' to blend cheese dishes. such as those made from processed cheese.
