mr Me, -~ [ANNE HIRST | Your Family Counselor "Dear Anne Hirst: From time to time your feminine readers have asked you why so many men date cheap girls. 1 think I've got the answer: They are cheap themselves, I confess it sometimes happens in the arm- ed forces; the men get bored stiff with routine and long for any excitement, so they pick the first girl who's willing to give it. Other fellows think they can find release in booze. That's just crazy. i "A lot of people have the idea that service men are mostly drunkards. Some do go over- board, but they get their come- uppance fast. As for liquor, I seldom touch it. I'm in the Air Force, and even with my hum- ble rank I know I'm responsible in a small way for the safety of others. I wouldn't take the chance. "I enlisted nine years ago, and I'm still in. I am about in the mood to get married, but I haven't found the right girl yet. Maybe I'm too choosy? "I'm looking for a decent girl . who can cook and keep a tidy house and who isn't too hard to look at. Definitely, not a bar- fly! She'll be a good sport, easy to get along with, and she won't demand more than my pay can take. I want children, so she must be a girl who is fit to bring them up in the right way; I'll do my part as a father, too. "I am not impatient, Anne Hirst. The girl I'll marry is wailing for.

The first time it was because he was running about town with another girl. He promised every- thing if I would come back, sn 1 did. 2 "It was the same story. I went to see the girl, and I was rice to her: she gave me her word she would never see hin again ., . . But she told him of my visit, and evidently exagger- ated quite a bit. He started mis- treating me terribly, and 1 fin- ally grew so afraid of him phy- cically that I left again "I honestly believe 1 have done my part. I have worked in a factory, done all my own housework 'and laundry, and kept myself as attractive as I could in the circumstances -- "Now, once mote, he is beg- ging me to come back. How can trust him? FRIGHTENED" * FER RRR FERRET EERE In my opinion you cannot I L * trust him at all. * Someone who knows your * husband might help you. Have #* you a brother or father who * can handle him for you? It * not, consult the Legal Aid * Society for advice and help. * Personally, I think you have * had more than: enough. When * a guilty man sxénts hic wrath * on a helpless wife, how can * she ever feel safe living with * him? . . To Service Men: If you are waiting for the girl of your' dreams, mingle with others who hold the same ideals. You won't have to wait so long.

Modern Etiquette by Roberta Lee Q. Upon being introduced to Miss Brown for the second time, is it all right to say, "I know Miss Brown"? A. This statement seems to sound as if it were too much trouble to make a second ac- knowledgment. It is much bet- ter to say, "I have already had the pleasure of meeting Miss Brown." Q. Is one obligated to send a wedding gift to a friend who is marrying for the second time, especially if one sent a gift for the first marriage? A. If the friend is a widow who is marrying again, I think it would be nice to send her an- other gift. If, however, she is a divorcee, it's up to you. There is no obligation. IN THE MIDDLE -- Designed by Enzo Alabanese, of Rome, Italy, these new shoes feature high heels sprouting from the arches. Though moved far forward from thelr normal position, the heels, made of metal, do not interfere with the comfort of the shees, according to the designer. advantage of the extra train- Fall Fashion Pointers For Home Dressmakers As everyone knows, the past vear has been a controversial one for Fashions. Never before "have. women been so timid about new styles, so doubtful abqut the tried and true fashions. Happily, for Fall 1958, adaptations of the new relaxed lines are proving s0 wearable and irresistible that women -- and yes, men, too -- are satistied with the newer look. Now, at last, you can make up for lost time -- sure that the dress you sew will not be so radical as to be out of date in a short time or will be criticized as 'unflattering. Here are a. few important guide posts: Hems will be short- er, but skirts will not be tapered to their former unmovable tight- ress as introduced last season, The degree of shortness is up to you -- only an inch higher from the floor, or more, if you find it flattering. Generally speaking, lines are fluid and a little more flowing. This means they are often fitted over the bust and waist belted, as often as not. The shirtwaist dress is enjoying -- and all those who wear it, too -- a fine dis= tinction even among the higher stylized silhouettes. New collars stand away from the neck, new yokes give interest to the bodice. No Fall Fashion report would be complete without mention of jumpers. This season, pockets-- either the patch or slit type -- are used to emphasize the fluid lines. Wear your jumper belted or unbelted as- you prefer. A rew note is to pick up_.a color of the jumper for the:.blouse. If a green and blue plaid is used, make the blouse in- green or blue." If a solid color is se- lected, complement it with a contrasting color or a print. Now for the new Fall fabrics. In the high style bracket -- and with the higher price tags, too -- are mohair and alpaca. Next are the woollen knits. Some 'are novelties which look almost like hand knitted. Others, like the jerseys, are printed in floral or geometric designs. Yes, print- ed woolens and woolen mixtures are big news right now. This does not mean that they over- shadow those wonderful fall cot- tons that have the look .of woolens and the practical-fea- tures of cotton. Colors in these fabrics are a delight. Blues are in the lead -- bright to navy. Reds range from scarlet to Calypso pink. The new brown has warm russet-red tones. The greens are both bright and dark. There are so many shades you will have no trouble ir making a selection. From all this news, there are really only three things to re- member in planning your dress- making in order to have it suc- cessful. First, make sure that the style you select is becoming. Second, think of what you look best in -- what color dress prought you the most compli- ments. Choose a new Fall shade in the color you wear the best, Then with the style and color selected, turn your atterition. to the third and very important consideration of what type cf fabric is right for your dress. Avoid the heavy fabrics unless the style is a tailored one. When buying one of the new blends, ask about washability, You may find that for a few cents more a yard you can get a fabric that is machine washable or will keep pleats without pressing. This will save you many dollars in dry cleaning bills, many hours over the ironing board." This is particularly important in the se- lection of fabrics for children's clothes. "Wash and wear" "easy care" and "drip and dry" ara wonderful words for all of us and now identify some of the lovliest Fall fabrics in this amazing, progressive, scientifc world of ours. FAMILY AFFAIR A near-accident has recently been reported in a Texas paper. Seems the wife of a promin- ent oil man lost control of her car and smashed into 10 other cars before she pulled herself together. She was lucky though --it all happened in her. own garage. ~ The way taxes are 'today, you might as well marry for love. -his "peace-in-our-time" a SRA A survey of marriageable 20-year-old girls in 12 cities disclosed that their ideal husband type . is singer Perry Como. William Holden 'garnered second spot with Rock Hudson coming in third. President Eisenhower and Tab Hunter tied for fourth place while Tony Curtis and Elvis Presley ran a dead heat for fifth. Tied for sixth place are Vice President Nixon, Jeff Chandler, the late James Dean, Jerry Lewis, Marlon Brando and Sen, John F. Kennedy (D-Mass.). Poll. was taken by the Department of Sociology at Regis College, Denver, Colo. - TER Be It looks this morning as if we are to be in for another 'ses- sion of wondering -- wondering "what's-going-to-happen-next". 1 am referring to the new crisis in the Middle East. History re- peats itself so often. Remember how Hitler brought things to a head just after Chamberlain had reassured the Western world by pro- nouncement? Now, with the U.S. in particular hoping for great things from the proposed Sum- mit Talks, Nasser obviously has cther plans. Remember, too, when Sir Anthony Eden said time would probably prove his policy had been right in connec- tion with the Suez crisis? . Such times as we live in! Sometimes I wonder how men-- and women--in_ high offices can stand up under their load of re- sponsibility. I wonder, too, how there can be such a divergence of opinion about International - afairs. Somebody must be right ... but who? And how can we with our lesser knowledge know who is right or wrong? The best we can do is to have confidence with those in authority, knowing that from their. viewpoint they are working for the good of the world as a whole, guided, we hope, by a Higher Power. In the meantime interest of British and Canddian people" is divided between unrest in the Middle East. and interest in members of the Royal Family. The Queen, under the weather, and Princess Margaret attract- ing interest and affection op her travels through Canada. Presi- dent Eisenhower's visit to Can- ada also attracted a good deal of attention on both sides of the border -- some of it contro- versial. i Yes, all these important things are taking place and yet hpw iittle otf it is in evidence. 'The effects are not nearly so' obvious as the aftermath.of a storm, Last Thursday's storm for instance was quite spectacular while it lasted. I was alone. I had. all the 'doors and 'windows open. ° when suddenly the wind and rain struck with tremendous force. Before I could get around to shut « up the house the rain had come through the back scéreen door and was flooding the hall and running 'downstairs to the base- ment. 1 began to wonder how Partner was faring on the farm 10 miles away. When he came home that night he said there hadn't been any rain at all. INGER Gwendoline P. Clarke Queer, how freakish the weather can be. . .The rain was very welcome, Since then we have picked peas, beans and beets from our garden --for ourselves, our two families and some of our neighbours. Sur- prising what one can get from one small garden. Just to keep. life from gettirg dull we have had more caf trouble. Ditto disappeared Wed - nesday night. Generally she comes on the run when I call her. But not this time. We final- ly had to go to hed but left the garage door open hoping she would take refuge there dur- ing the night. With so many dogs around I naturally felt un- easy. Next morning, no Ditto. By 6.30 I was out calling and look- . mg for her, trailing through vacant lots thick with poison ivy. -I1t was a neighbour who finally found her, away at the top of a hickory tree, afraid to come down, Another neighbor said--"If you have a ladder I'll go up after her. I don't rind climbing." So between us we got the ladder and placed it in posi- tion--Partner being away. Laura, as agile as'a cat herself, was up the ladder and had the cat res- cued in no time, Ditto, except for being frightened, was none the worse but spent the rest of the day eating and sleeping. Laura and family were going to North Bay next morning for two weeks and asked if I would take care of their kitten--the kitten being Ditto's daughter! Well, they brought Winkey down * and such spitting and swearing I never heard. Blood is thicker than water, so they say, but ap- parently that truism doesn't ap- _ply to cats -- or at 'any rate kittens. Ditto was soon friend- ly but not Winkey, Now: after three days, she 'is' still using- . bad language, even though mo- ther .and daughter chase each other in play around the house. But just let Ditto make one un- expected move and Winkey' back is up like a shot. , " And here is another cat story. : Six years ago my Forest Hill » friend had a cat named Mickie, 'Two. years later the . family adopted a stray--Tinker, Mickle, jealos, no doubt, decided fo leave home, returning periodical. ly but only to go away again, back to a family farther 'down the street who had taken her in. Two " months ago Tinker, 'the : stray, disappeared, probably rum over or poisoned. Thé day 1} was there visiting, Mickie came back, explored the house from bedrooms to basement, found no- sign of Tinker and decided to stay. He 'is still there, making ~himself comfortable in the same © chair 'and on the same bed that he usea 10 veceupy . . years' absence. . after four My goodness, I almost forgot | - to tell you . 2 . » last night 1 saw Sputnik III. About 10.30 I saw what appeared to be a doubie star--it seemed to come from no- where and disappeared a few seconds later into space. At first I thought it was a shooting star but a star doesn't disappear sud- denly as this one did. This morn- ing the paper announced Sput- nik had been seen by quite a number of people reporting from various. points in Ontario, so it must have been" Sputnik. High-Born Babies As an airliner from the United States flew 19,000 feet over the coast of Ireland recently an extra passenger arrived -- a Baby boy, born to a 24-year-old American woman, Assisting at the birth were the air hostess, the captain of the aircraft and the purser, Said a spokesman for the air- line: "All our crews are taught what to do in an emergency like this and everything went smooth- ly. This is our third baby born on a flight in the past 10 years." What's the birth height re- cord? I'm told that'it's held by iittle Tony Sabbag, who was born in a Comet in 1953 and was the first 'baby to be born in a jet airliner, The plane was fly- ing over the Sahara between Dakar and Casablanca at 39,000 feet when Tony arrived.
