Bins in the new barn heaped. the work was rested at this farm yesterday at noon and the workers moved to take up the same work at Alder- lea. Quite a fetching procession went thither, We watched it down the lane and until we lost it beside the Home fields: two horses and farm- carts, a tractor and trailer. four men-and attending it with Jubilant step, the black dog. . . . One day of this week. the brief respite well-earned. though sp- propriated with some reluctance. Rob went with kin to attend the Maritime Fair on the mainland enjoying much the excursion and we doubt not learning something to help his farming as well. In his absence a little lad found the time long. his Dad being a last stay of his living.

Fall lies over the farmlands! That time of year when fields and trees await quietly and a little pensively the wrappings of Winter. Now lie silver mists on the hills-crisp touches of frost or hours of faded sunlight.

I think a man wants, and is entitled to. privacy in his home. Jessie G. A HUSBAND NEEDS QUIET Usually I am inclined to look some- what askance at letters from "friends" who believe they can solve another person's difficulty, but up of a problem seems exactly right. Virtually every man resents an overdose of lady visitors around the house. and if he doesn't get peace and quiet home, at least occasionally, he most certainly will go somewhere else for it. Hospitality is a virtue. but like so many other good things it can be overdone. and your friend has found 9, perfect way to overdo it. I often exhort young people to keep the friends of their youth since they are irreplaceable, but too often-in the first hectic years of marriage the old pals are lost. I certainly would never advise anyone. however, to keep such close contact with friends that they are around day and night. Between the two extremes there's a fine middle course, and your friend had better find it. DEAR MISS DIX: I'm 16 and considered attractive. However. my best friend, who is the same age and not pretty. has more dates than I have. Mixed Up ANSWER: The dlfferencelmust be in disposition. Perhaps you are more interested in yourself than in the boys-and boys do like to have a. young lady's undivided attention Are you a cheerful companion. willing to forego expensive places in consideration of a young man's wallet? Are you able to discuss sports. and other things that inter- est males? "Yes" to these questions. should insure yo-u dates. Don't try to rely altogether on your good looks to avtract young men, for that is'n't enough. DEAR MISS DIX: My father died three years ago. and my mother is lonely, as most widows are. Now I am planning to marry. but am afraid to leave my mother alone. My fiance is very fond of her, but I don't know whether to ask her to share our hcme or not. I'm is. M .B. ANSWER: Your mother is still comparatively young (I assume shell no older than her early 40's). and perhaps you're a bit premature in putting her on the shelf. She may be more independent than you think. Give her a chance to work out her own destiny. by uiscussin your future with her, and asking what she wants to do. The wise thing would be for her to remain by herself. Miss Nisaen cannot reply penonany to readers but will answer nroblcms of interest through this column.

A. 0. ”Kn1sm Errant in Petticoats" is the heading of c full-page feature article in the Octob 24 edition of the "Toronto Saturday night”. It is the interesting story of Mn, 3911!? Vsutelet of Montreal, who Just recently was elected the N..- tional President of the Canadian Association of Consumers. Mrs. Vautelet was born Renee Geoffrion. daughter of Aime Geof. 111011. I. noted King's Counsel. Her greet-grandfather was Sir Aime Antoine Dorfon. one of the found. ers of Liberalism in Canada and wnildered by many to have been Bir Wilfrid Leurier's political tutor. Nothing blesses Mrs. Vautelet more than to be told she has her father's type of mind and if .11; had not married, in all probability she- would have studied law, but 5-he did marry - Lt. Col.

I I I Today her chief cause is the Canadian Association of Consum- ers. he is one of it's founders and as it's National President. she brings to her new post a wealth of knowledge and experience in the women's field. Since she was 17, when she first csmptllbed for the suffraglst movement in Que- bec she has battled for women. Not only do women's buying habits leave something to be desired. but the housewlfe's situation as a whole is far from satisfactory in her opinion. she has been known to define the housewife as the "last cave dweller." "Last month when speaking be- fore the Eestern Ontario Wo- men's Institutes at the Chateau Laurler, Ottawa, she said :-"If asked to describes ' nsumer' most people would likely have pictured a kind of sheep-like creature that needed to be sheared very .closeLv .eacb year to keep Canada's producing Ocommy man and healthy. And. of course, everyone knew that to make this shearing easy for every. one the consumer must be made- through continuously bigger and better advertising-to want more and more of the things, for which she was asked to trade in her 'wool'." Mrs. Vautelet's skill in public debate has been invaluable to her. She is considered by many tc be Canada's most dynamic speaker whether in French or in English.
