From the very beginning of our marriage I have done my utmost to provide faithfully for my family: and to make my wife happy. I have never assumed that the man rules. We have acted as partners always. and helped one another. A few years ago my wife start- ed to change.

I would take the first train out - but that would be a coward's act and certainly wouldn't help matters.

In short. what your wife is grip- lng about. in relation to you, is your essentially passive behavior as her partner.

FASHION-The preval nt style in dress may change fom time to time. but it is ostensibly based on what is most serviceable in practice and sometimes what is most elegant in design. However. various fashions of past ages show that caprlce has been responsible for many marked changes. more than practical consideration. The new fashion in New York and Par- is is the "Empire silhouette" which is the most recent radical fashion ” since 1947's "New Look." The Empire Silhouette harks back to the classic clothes of Napoleon's Empire. The most elevated waistline showing in our new fashions is clearly depiclted in the portrait of Napoleon's sister- ln-law as well as other feminine portraits of that period. Mr. D.S. MacKcnzie. a native born soot. now residing in Hall- fax. is on his semi-annual business trip to the province. Mr. MacKen- sle is registered at the Charlotte- town Hotel.
