I ELLEN’S DIARY

Care Of All ‘ Exemplifiecl

At Alderlea on a night like this, when a wind blows wildly in the treetops and blusters gustily a- bout the eaves, it is good to come

abroad to the barns with James, and follow as he settles away his last chores. These are of course, shared with the younger farmer and it is always interesting for us to see how perfectly the two work together ‘to completethe set pattern.

The stables are never cozier than when high. winds blow, warmed as they are by breaths and bodies of the animals, so comfortably sheltered w i t h in. And reflectingon this, we could heartily agree with James when, shaking another ﬂake of straw on the youngest’s calf’s bed, he offered “I often think Ellen that if a traveller were to be bewilder- ed in a snowstorm, a stable would be a right good shelter to come to” -

Outside the wind blew, not one seasonally edged with frost, nev- ertheless of Fall cool and gusty, making the indoors seem an oas- is of. safety and content. ,

There is a saying that a far- mer’s goodness, indeed his reli- gion we have heard an old Minis- ter say, is reflected favorably or otherwise but most obviously in the appearance and attitude of his cats. A pair of ours, silken coated, black as ebon except for the‘ white of their vests emerged softly from the shadows of the group and pressed against James’ overalled legs for. a word of at-

tention, during a moment’s halt there. , '

he said preceding us down steps and along a corridor to their stall, where in a company they were cleaning up their supper of hay.

“Why, they’re done well!” we said. — , ,

“Not bad, are they" he smil- ed. “These are only cross-breds, but they're fair-good in shape, and growthy I’d say. When they get a spell on the grass” he nod- ded, thinking ahead to the June- time.

We like to follow him to that last rite of his round, which takes him to open, one after ano- ther the shutters in front of the horses and drop handfuls of grain to the mangers. Not hurriedly but taking time to smooth a fore- lock, or pet a velvet muzzle and chat with each one in turn. And tonight, names ‘of remembered horses came back to‘ our lips -- Old Cleveland. . . the old-mare- of-all . . the young mare, a come- ly animal we lost, of whom all, like the years ﬂown, have now vanished into the past.

We came then from a world of animals, none anywhere we may say better tended, to the quiet house that is ours. Back to the old clock’s tick and the scent of maple sticks’ burning, to the peace and serenity of, a work- day’s close. . When a wind blows wildly in the treetops and blusters gustily about the eaves it is good to come abroad to the barns with James and follow as he settles away his last chores.

Dear Mary Haworth: Recently my husband bought a business and never mentioned any thought ;of doing so until it was all over. I was, and am, deeply hurt by this, as we always have been so close. We discussed everything.

I”ll grant you that if he had mentioned it to me, I feel sure that my response would have been to leave it all to his better judgment. But he says now that he “didn’t feel that his business was my business.”

switch from sharing behavior to a lone wolf brand of thinking. I see no justification for kick- ing yourself about your dismay. What the situation calls for is understanding—(1) of the inner meaning of your husband’s de- fiant standoffishness; and (2) of the reasons why you feel emo- tionally bereft, or hurt, as you say. .

If you can grasp the fact that your husband is presently afraid of business failure, and con- sequent loss of standing with you; and that you are afraid of losing him — of becoming the forgotten woman in his routine—you will begin to come out of the woods rin this matter, I think. You can stop feeling hurt, and start using l your good common sense, to grad- ually heal the rift in comrade- ship. - M. H.

The minu-tes of the last meet- ing were read, approved and signed. A letter was read from J.

Marion -Aff- leck volunteered to collect on the north side and Winnifred Peters on the south side.

A very interesting letter was from Mrs. Charles MacAulay, who is now living in Prince Geo- rge, B.C. While she lived in Mt. Stewart she was one of the most valued members. And though she is far awa, she has many happy memories of the a.en.in-gs -together.

The report of the Red Cross- convener Mrs.’ M. MacKay was then given. There is considerable sewing and knitting on hand which the ladies are asked to pick up as soon as possible.

A letter was read from Winni- fred Peters, of the Senior De- partment in Mt. Stewart School, thanking the members for the Christmas treat. A letter was read from Mrs. Margaret Affleck wishing the Institute every suc-

WHERE TO BUY BOOK Dear Mary’ Haworth: In a re-

1 Dear G. S.: Evidently your husband was secretly so ‘unsure of the soundness of this venture that he didn’t dare risk any dis- couraging comment from you. P t he wanted to try it, so he took the plunge and informed you aft- ,erwards. ‘

I Now he still refuses to discuss ‘_it, mainly because of the anxious !conflicts in his own mind. He wants to sit on his fears and ignore them —— and not let them out in the open, where they might scare him. That is why he says that he “doesn't feel that his business is your business."

In a mixed-up way, he is trying to shield both himself and you from rampant worry and de- tailed anxiety.

As for your special distress, it is linked with a fear-feeling that he is moving out into new areas of life, and leaving‘you behind,_ stranded as it were, with a sense: that you are of no further use to‘ him, and of no interest to him, in this adventurous new chapter of his experience. You say you laren’t angry, but hurt—meaning shocked and desolate. as if ab- ruptly rejected.
