"Dear Anne Hirst: I amn 24, and for five years I've been going with a boy wiith whom I went to school. I care for him terrib- ly-but he never commits him- self, thouglh he implies I'm his oily feminine interest! He neyer makes a date ahead; he travels a great deal, and does write when he is due home. "This is why he has not met a main, Il years older than I ar, who has fallen in love with me. This mari treattme beautifully, makes me feel important. He is talented anid cultured, and pros- perous. If I knew I stand no chance to marry the boy I care for, if amn pretty sure I could fall in love again, for the man is attractive and we are compati- ble. Thougli we've gone t- gether now and then for only three months, he has asked me to mar.ry him. My family know wbo his people are; they admire hlm, and encourage his visits.

Write ber ai Box 1, 123 Eighteenth St., New Toranta, Ont, Q.-Haw and when doua the bridegroom give bis feu ta the minister who performs tUa wed- ing ceremany? A.-The bridegroom shouldi give tUe money or cheque (en- closed in an envelope) ta his best man, who gives t ta the minis- ter nfter the ceremony, and, ai course, privately. Q.-is it croisideredi proper lor a woman ta adjut aher make-up at the table aller dining ln a public restaurant? A-This was formar!y frown- ed upon, but society bas now re- lented enough to condone the -e- pairs most women deem neces- sary to their lips and shiny noses after eating. Q.-Is it necesary for a yaung woman to rise when being in- troduced te the mother of a girl friendi? A.-Most certainly; ta remain seated would be exceedingly ii- bred. Q.-Should a -mac ever hand his coat to a woman for iher to assist him in putting it on? A.-Only if he is rheumaiic or very feeble. Otherwise, he should be capable ai getting into his coat Without the woman's assis- Lance. A further refinement is th hidden camera with a noise- making device. Tue burglar hears the noise and looks at the camera just in rtie to be photo- graphed. Scores of uses for the elec- tronic eye are being tested ta re- duce road accidents. One device will automatically dim the head- lights of approaching cars at night. The headlights on ana car act on a mechanism in the othe and turn on a dipper. No other mechanical cievice can count as-fast as the electric eye. In textile·mills, for exam- pie, electric eyes are being used to check the threads on a paice of cloth as it passes throug roll- ers. It can "count" up to 10,000 threads a second. In steel plants the eye meas- ures the long, moving strips for cutting, and orders the big shears to do their work. When a machine becomes clogged, the eye stops the works and prevents breakages. In giant starnping machmnces the eye protects the operator's hands. As long as one finger blocks the little pencil o light the heavy jaws are suspended, and wiî not lose until the hand is with- drawn. One machine has been repart- ed which will scan a drawing photo-electrically, translate iu lines to fit the movements or cutting tools, and eject a finished article. We have only begun to see the woners of the electronic eye.

These two points were provied beyond question by tUa next speaker - Mrs. W, O. Walton, president ofi the Canadian Con- sumers' association.

Progress was also reported on a request for screw- tops for jarm jars anti for the dis- continuance of red andi white wrappers for bacon. The Hon. Dan Porter assured the delegates that sending reso- Jutions to the Government was not waste of tirne, that mos legislation was the direct result of resolutions fraom various groups. Referring te the rief on edible ails, this resolution, said Mr. Porter, was so reasonable and constructive that it could be accepted practically in is entire- ty. it showed members oi other industries that the dairy industry is basic to agriculture and if it faiLs other industries wiU .ufer.

More and more il is believed that when college students aren't studying or naking love they are reading Karl Marx and nailing redb handkerchiefs ta the end oi sticks to wave from their dormi- tory windows. Recent polls show this to be untrue, Ninety percent o the students were against Communism, campenianate mar- rage and other radical tenden- ries. Ninety-eight percent were for old-ftashionet comapetitive economy, marriaa anti home lite. HRONICLES Last week a-ver autO womnen baked extra pies, c a k e s and - cookies for their families to feedi on, and then the 800 loosened teir pincurls, pressed their pretties tdresses, antd, by train, bus or car, headedi for the O.A.C. in Guelph. It was the occasion of the Fifth Womnen's Institute Officers' Conference for Ontario Delegates carne from poiths as fer as distant as tUe bordiers of Manitoba, Q u e b e c anid the United States, and fron the northerly district o Cochrane. fi was a two-iay, affair so thera were many from distant points whp stayed in residence at tUe Collge frm Wiednesday nght to Saturday morning. Now for some of the highlights. Dr. J. D. MacLachlan, president of the O.A.C. welcomed the dele- gates and outlinedi tUe work anti apportunities of the students coming fron farms. Two inter- esting - and interested - visit- ors throughout the session were the Reverend Mother Mary Ali- cia and Sister Marie Adela, so- cial welfare workers froi the Dominca Republic, B.W.I., tour- ing Canada for the puspose ai studiying rural, social and edu- cfationl work in this country. Mother M a r y Alicia told the Conference that two years ago a Women's League had been or- ganized in Daminica patterned after the' W. I. in Canada The neaed for social work ri that country was shown to bb very great, and so, as a practicail ges- ture of goodwill, a collection wes taken up at the Conference, amounting to $211, which was given ta and gratefuiiy received by; the two Dorninca Welfare Workers. The official delegates fron the various W. I. branches were the conveners ai Home Economics and Health and the con'veneris o Resolutions, so the aadiresses throughout the Conference wère santated towards those subjects. There were many excellent ad- dresses. Dr. Mackinnon Phillips, Minister of Health, spoke on the "Health i Ontari," outlining the progress that haid aready been made for the care of psy- hiatric cases ant theL project already underway ta pro-vid hospital care and treatment for mentally retarded children. An- other speaker, Mr. McVitfie, In- spector for Auxiliary Classes for the Guelph district, outlined a plan to help pupils in rural schools wha need special train- ing, the same as the special courses already available in ur- ban centres. Anyone interested, and no doubt there will be many, can obtain full informa~tion from their own local Inspector of Schools. A paniel discussion. on' Health was most interesting. Those par- ticipating were Elizabeth Chant Robertson, Dr. Gordon Bates, Director, Health League of Can- ada, and Dr. W. E. Blatz, psy- chiatrist. TUe main purpose af te discussion was to promote better understanding of tUe irm- portance of good eating habits, particularly in regard to chil- dren. Resolutions, as a tapic for dis- cussion, could be uninteresting. At the Guélph Conference it was far from being that.

One must draw beau- tif ully in order to write the Chinese character, and a fine writer was honored as much as any artist. For that reason, you will notice in Chinese painting the beauty if their ines and their brush strokes. Many poets were painters and many paint- ers were poets; the two arts went hantd in hand. Pictures were made with brush and ink, on silk and paper; when they were colored, water colors were used. These paintings were made sometimes on long scrolls which could be rolled and looked ai part by part; sometimes an piec- es af silk or paper which were mounted on figured silks and could be hung on a wall. They were not framed and hung as our pictures are, how- ever, but were usually rolled up and kept in a safe place, like treasures, and when friends or families met together, a few pic- tures we ce taken outi and an- joyed and then put away again, just as you might read a few poems, and then close the book again. Besides these smaller paintings, the walls of homes and temples and palaces were decor-- ated with fine frescoes, anid por- traits Were made to be hung la the Emperor's halls or in ances- tral temples. When a Chinese artisi made a picture, lie did nlot go out and copy the thing he wanted te paint, as Sa many Western ar- tists do; he studiied it, very care- fully, in every season and a every irne of day. H1e tried ta understand its spirit and is rneaning and to paint these ra- ther than the thing litself. .-. Then, in quietness, in bis own room, he took up his brushes and made his picture from memory. -From "The PagQant of Chinese' History," by Elizabeth Seeger. Are you a stenographer?
