"TEA [ANNE HIRST LU Your Family Counselor How much does a daughter owe her mother? "My life, and all my. earnings?" Mer parent dominates the girl so completely that her longing for privacy has become an obsession. "Ever has even taken. a position with the company I work for! "Every time I have planned to start out on my own, she pre- pares to come along. Recently 1° was offered work in another pro- _ vince; as usual, Mother has plans to_ follow. me there, she expect me to ship her furniture, and start the same heckling life anew. "I Am An Adult." : "My mothgr is a young, attrac- tive widow in good health, with _ possibilities of marrying again. I know that as soon as she moves where I'll go, she will seek em- ployment with me, and my headaches will be as hard as they've been for the past 18 months. : "Must 1 forever be tied to her apron-strings? How can I make her see 'that I am an adult, and long for privacy and the chance to be. on my own? Must I dedi- cate the remaining years of my . life to her greedy and selfish ways?" 1 * This girl's resentment against | --* her mother has grown so over- =.* whelming that she cannot view her domination-for what it -is --the:habit of years. : Born of love for her only child, the mother has allowed it .to absorb her every thought and plan. Bereft of 'her hus- band, she has become so. de- . pendent that, frankly, she has no life, apart from her daugh-- ter's. Instead of keeping up with her contemporaries and creating an existence of her own, shie is living her daugh- ter's life: for her, and loving every minute of it. ; How the girl can escape from' ' it without" hurting her parent cruelly is the problem. I under- stand how she yearns to strike out on her own, to be herself as she cannot be now, make her own friends and her own decisions, and enjoy the "spiri- tual - independence she has wanted since the's been grown. If she docs not make: the _ break soon, her. courage will fail her and she will be- com- mitted for the rest of her life. I doubt that even if her mother remarries wquld she willingly consent to the .girl's 'leaving her z > : The offer of work in another province presents an unexpect- ed opportunity. If she is de- termined to take it, she will announce th» decision as gent- ly as she can, and 'stick to it against all tearful pleas. TO "DISGUSTED": It-is re- grettable that your mother has intruded on your personal life and stripped you of that pride we all seek in our belongings, our inclinations and our habits. Her insistence in working with _you must have been the last straw. (Was it necessary that she find a position?) If you decide to leave home alone, why not say it is for a year's trial? That will soften the - shock, and give her something to look forward to.

One of these jobs was a business trip to the city-~and I'll bet one lit- - tle dog is glad that I went, It was this way. 1 was waiting to cross the road 'at Albert and Yonge and to my dismay | no- ticed a little dog weaving its way in and out among the cars, sometimes right under them, sometimes running in front, first this way and then that. Quite obviously it was lost and bewil- dered. I crossed over but still kept an eye on the dog, expect- ing 'every minute would be its last. There was a lull in the 'traffic; the little pooch ran 'ac- ross to the sidewalk and into _Eaton's = following someone through the door There it stay- ed watching mournfully from be- hind the glass doors. No one even looked at it. For the life of me I couldn't go on my way "not knowing what would happen to the dog. So I crossed the road again, went into "Eaton's and stoopéa down to comfort the poor little frightened creature. It appeared to be about four "months old and of the police dog variety ---- without a collar, It ~was_trembling with fear. I pick- _ ed it up in my arms; <rossed the road again and into the city Hall, hoping they: would take it in, The man at the information desk was most sympathetic and co-operative. He took the wee pup and put it behind the desk enclosure. "Guess. it must have followed - someone down town," he said. "It will be --all right there--more than likely some- one will phone up about a lost dog." : 2 So that was that.! There was no more ['could do.

TOO PROMPT A farmer was making one of his infrequent visits to a mov- ing-picture show. The slapstick comedy showed a group of shapely maidens coyly undress- ing beside a pond. Just as things reached an interesting point, a railroad train obscurred the view. When it had passed, the. "girls were already splashing . about in the lake. The farmer remained rooted: in his seat for four continuous showings. Finally an usher in- quired, "Are you, here for the winter, Pop?"

PPOSITION is rising to the disgraceful scenes that have been witnessed at St. George's Chapel, Windsor, and at West- minster this summer , and the Queen herself may soon be ° petitioned to sweep away the _ clicking turnstiles and admission charges that desecrate her fath- er's grave, states a writer in "Tit-Bits." Where the kings and princes stood in reverence last winter as the coffin of King George VI was .. lowered into the royal vaults, the turnstiles now creak continuous- ly and an insistent chink- of coins dispels a reverent approach. "The primary motive is to con- trol the crowds and not to gain revenue," says the Dean of Wind- sor. All the same, as many as" 7,000 visitors have been admit- take of nearly $1,000! . With unconscious humour -- and to many minds, scandalously _-- a sign proclaims: "It has been found necessary . . . for the sake - of order and reverence to regu- late the number of visitors . . . by making a charge of 1s. for ad- . mission," Often, at the sacred _ portals, indignant Americar and British Commonwealth visitors are led to protest in forcible. terms. ; "I've "heard the British are a nation of shopkeepers," said one visitor, "but I've never yet paid to enter a church." ; "King George VI's tomb and the Queén's Doll's House -- you pay for both but the Doll's House . is cheaper!" cynically complained © an American in the two-hundred- yard queue. "Reverence? Why wouldn't a gate be more reverent .than a turnstile?" "It's the same at Westminster Abbey, when grieving mothers and widows .wish to visit the Battle of Britain Chapel and pay homage to their dead, Outside ted in a day, spelling a cash in- Charge Admission To See King's Grave _ Britain Shocked At Mercenary Churches worshipping hours, unless they «write to the Air Ministry for a pass, they have to pay a shilling or stay outside. Is-it not time to bring this de-" secration of our national shrines to a halt? Shocked visitors say that to charge an admission fee to a church is a-phenomenon al- most unknown elsewhere in - Europe. At Stratford-on-Avon, 90,000. visitors. a year gladly pay , a shilling a time to walk through Anné Hathaway's cottage. But they bitterly resent being charg- ed sixpence to enter Holy Tri- nity Church in order to see Shakespeare's grave. Oddly enough, they've _scrap- .ped the admission charges to the Bloody - Tower in the Tower of London, but when visitors wish to pay tribute to the tomb of Nelson in the crypt of St. Paul's they have_to give sixpence to a verger w licks out a' ticket from an autOfatic machine.
