A Question of Etionc,,c.

The wife of cabinet minister in
speaking recently of the laughable
experiences that have fallen to her
share said that in talking matters
over with an ex-cabinet minister
wife she was told the following story
When after the birth of daughter
the cabinet receptions at this lady
house were resumed, the hostess was
accostcd by determined looking
woman who ficrcely inquired why in
stead of an acknowledgment in per.
son card had been sent in return
for her visit. The cabinet officers
wife started to explain that she had
not been making calls for some time.
but in the midst of her polite speech
the woman cScitedly interrupted
.Oh, understand you fashionable
women. You give yourself such airs
that by the time your husband gets
in the cabinet you are simply unbear-
able. As to your being i'll, | don,
believe a word Of it; but il you arc

Some market gardeners who have
learned this secret always get early

experience with these animals.
They were snowbound at a farmers
