Read one wife's •omplaint: "I am 32, Anne Hirst. My mother died when I was born, and I can't ever remember my father telling me lie loved me. I have always felt unwanted, that no one cared for ine. Now I've been married 14 years, and have two girls. But I still feel the same way. "My husband doesn't drink or gamble or run around, and I know I'm lucky that he is good to me. I know he loves me â€" but I'd still like to hear l^im say so! I get up â- t four o'clock to pack his lunch â- nd get his breakfast; does he say 'thank you' and kiss mc good-bye? No. "Vou work hard all day cleaning â- the house, taking care of the chil- dren, fixing a nice supper. He eomes in, picks on the children till they cry, then raises cain because they aren't quiet while he eats. He talks only about his job. Never a word about how nice you look, or how the house shines, or how things went that day! "You say to yourself, 'Oh well, ht'll talk to me after supper! You're only kidding yourself. Then he wants the paper, and the children ^d I aren't supposed to talk out loud, or laugh, or sing. He reads the paper from front to back (in- •luding your column, so please print tliis; maybe he'll realize how nuoh we all miss his love.) "You think, after he's through, maybe he'll talk a while, or take I^u out. You guessed wrong. He foes to bed. How long can you a woman *Te like this? I'm not old yet. I ke to visit our friends or go to • show. But I could get along without those. It is the lack of love I feel. Why it a man so dumb that he can't »«y so? I can wear a new dress for a month before he even notices h! Some day I'm going to forget to clean up the house and the •hildren and see whether he knows the diference. (I doubt it.) "I guess there' no use in hop- ing. But at least I feel better to m*i this off my chest! Thanks a lot for reading it." CSigned) Loveless • TO "LOVEI-ESS": Women ♦ blossom under appreciation.

TABLE TALKS As I think I may have told you before I'm the sort of person who can take my peanut butter or leave it alone â€" preferably the latter.

And although the development of the Frozen Food business has made fresh fish far more easily avail- able, there are still a lot of us. who live inland, wlio still gfet most of the fish we eat out of cans.

When a dtlngc of watches with broken mainsprings arrives at their shops, they know the vernal season is at hand Spring thunderstorms and showers bring an abrupt change in temperature and air pressure, and t«x the brittle Meel ribbons nntil they snap. • * * An obstetrician should be able to till the arrival of spring by observ- ing thv size of Iht babies he delivers. Infants born in the spring art taller and heavier, on the averagi, than those born in other seasons, accord- ing to statistical studies made at Johni Hopkifli University. • ♦ ♦ It's a common belief that many psople suffer from extreme fatigue when spring arrives â€" lo-called spring fever.

Spring fever Is only a mild form «f iciir?/, he declares, due to vitamin-poor diet in winter months â€" particular- ly, vitamin C deficiency. * ♦ ♦ Police in Whte Plains, N.Y., don't bother to watch for a robin. When they begin to receive complaints that baby carriages are interferinf with pedestrian traffic mi Main Street, tliey are sure spring has arrived.

The spaniel is the most complete; Of all the spaniels, dearest far The little Cocker spaniels are. They're always merry, always hale; Their eyes are like October ale; They are so loyal and so black; So unresentful 'neath the whack; They never sulk, they never tire; They love the field, they love the fire; They never criticize their friends; Their every joy all Joy transcends. The Aberdeen is quaint and sly, A harvest of the anxious eye; The Bedlington is blue and true; The Airedale fights till death for you; Yet why compare? All dogs on earth Possess some special charm and worth. But Cocker spaniels? Every way, They are the canine angels, they. Helpful Hints For Homemakers When baking custard or pumj^kft pies, place the empty pie shell in the oven first, then pour the licjuid fill- ing into it. Not a drop will be spill- ed, as miglit happen in carrying a filled shell to the oven. • • ' To get rid of the smel! of fish on your hands, wash them in fiotj salty water â€" before using soap. When you rinse off the salt, the fish smell goes with it. Do the same with dishes and pans that have been used for fish. * • • When you carry Baby, wrap a" piece of clear plastic material (a small-sized tablecloth would work fine) around the outside of the blankets. This, prevents lint aa4 blanket fuzz from rubbing off ont* your clothing. DOUBLE SHELLCRAFT KIT Bn't « barxala og « â€" two kiti for th« priM «f 0B«.
