HIRST family Counselor vince many an unhappy wife how lucky -she is in comparison to what you have endured ever sinée you married this man. Your letter revealed the real cause of your leaving him. If only for the children's sakes, 1 don't see how you could have done less. For that same reason you dare not, I should say, ex- pose them again to his inhuman cruelties, When your spirit fal- ters, remember those terrible days, and be thankful you can protect them now. Living a day at a time is one of the best prescriptions for one in your state. As evening comes, remind yourself, "Well, 1 got through today. I'll not think of tomorrow." Keep yourself so oc- cupied with your church work, the children, your home and your friends, that every waking hour brims with wholesome activity. Pray for strength to overcome these moods which attack you, for they diminish your self-con- trol and can make you physically ill You have too many bur- dens to carry these days to take such a risk. I wish I could comfort you with the belief that your hus- band will change. But you have to tace the sad truth that, in my opinion, such a miracle is unlikely.

Taking each, Wear Sensible Shoes For Better Health A sound foundation is quite as necessary to the building of good looks as it is to any other sort -of "construetion; === Eee Few parents would quarrel with this. Yet many unknowingly un- dermine their children's future ap- pearance by poor choice of shoes for their youngsters. ; Particularly is this true in sum-. mer, when mothers and fathers tend' to relax the rigid rules they en- forced during the school term. ~Sonietimes compromise is neces- sary, If you've a miniature cow- boy in your home, your little range rider may consider the possession of fancy boots the height of hap- piness. You, looking at high tops, high heels and harrow toes of boots, may consider them somewhat less than desirable. You can turn down boots as too hot for summer and too unnatur- ally shaped to allow the contours of a growing young foot, and still make your cowboy happy with Western footwear, Sturdy leather- soled buckle strap oxfords offer enough tooling and saddle details to satisfy small gun-brandishers. Sneakers or low-cut tennis shoes are also favored by many boys for summer wear, possibly because they are prepared at a minute's notice without a lot of changes, to go into action on courts or dia- mond. It's a mistake, however, to en- courage young atheletes in this bit of laziness. Rubber soles and non-arch supporting tanvas are not your best bet for growing feet when worn for prolonged periods of time. Teach your child to re- gard them as special sports equip- ment, just as he does bats and rackets, A good choice for boys' play- hours are the substantially-built but light oxfords with good quality leather uppers and soles which al- _ low his feet to "breathe" through their pores. Unlined shoes are best for - summer. For girls and small boys, san- dals offer summer coolness. Even when purchasing this. type shoe, however, parents should check to make certain there is sufficient sup- port. In too-bare sandals, foot-sup- "port is often lacking. Oxfords provide excellent pro- tection for the fect of children who who particularly active or for those whose holidays will be spent in rough terrain, But the experts discourage pur- *" chase of "best" shoes. Such shoes are often outgrown before they are worn out, and some parents make the error of insisting these foot- squegzers not be discarded until the "youngsters have gotten the money's worth out of them.

GROWS ON YOU In the Columbia Faculty Club, Carlton J. H. Hayes made this deathless observation: "The arti- choke is the only vegetable you have more of when you finish eat- ing. than you had when you start. e » With Her Hero-Hushand--Singer Jane Froman stands at the bed- side of her husband, Capt. John C. Burn at a San Juan hospital. Burn piloted the airliner that crashed at sea off Puerto Rico, kill- ing 52 persons, and was one of the 17 survivors of the tragedy. Miss Froman, who married Burn after he saved her life in a Lisbon plane crash in 1943, reached her husband's side after a fear-filled flight from New York. JGINGERFARM Gwendoline P Clarke This has becn the wettest and most disappointing Faster that I remember. Most of us, I think, look forward to fine, bright weather at Easter as symbolic of the renewed hope that Easter always brings to a world that is now so often per- plexed and frustrated in its think- ing. Instinctively, everyone wants to be happy at Easter--and bhap- - piness comes more easily in nice weather than, as it was this week- end, with rain falling steadily from daylight to dark. But at least we can be thankful that the Easter message is far brighter than the weather that accompanied it. For us it has been a disappointing weekend all round. We expected . daughter and niece Betty Thursday night, but Betty dislocated her shoulder and something came up so that daughter did not get here either. At first we were disappoint- ed--but not after it turned so wet. There were no [Faster bunnies around here cither--but we did have an Laster cali. I wonder why it is that Laster, more than any other season, recalls memories of home. Before 1 got up this morning I was thinking back to other days, to my home in England, even before World War 1. We seemed to have an accepted | pattern for Easter weekend in those days, which hardly varied at all* from one ycar to another. Those who were away came home, some- times bringing a friend or friends. I'riday morning we went to a ser- vice, which as children we always loved--*"The Stations of the Cross." Good Friday was also the day when country folk liked to plant their potatoes, so the day was a mixture of solemnity and relaxation. On Easter Sunday we generally started the day by going to the early morning service, After break- fast our family of four would set out for its traditional Easter Sun- day walk. Our mother did not care too much for our long walks so she would say to us--"You go- on now: and have your walk and I'll have dinner waiting when you get back". So _we started on our cross-country tramp that would be anywhere -from seven to ten miles. Our favourite walk was Ryes Lane--a moss-covered path through the woods, where tree branches met over our heads and formed a leafy arcade. And it was here that we were sure to find the first prim- roses of the season as well as sweet-scented violets, Later the woods would be fragrant with blue- bells. We also watched for the little English robin, much smaller than its Canadian namesake. And how delighted we were if we heard a cuckoo. From Ryes Lane, which was about three miles long, we came to the top of a steep hill from which there was a marvellous view of the wooded country for miles around. Homeward bound we pass- ed Ballingdon Hall where Queen Elizabeth 1. had often stayed. On through the Village of of Balling- don-cum-Brundon, past the old Bull Inn, which features in Dickens' "Pickwick Papers." Through the churchyard of All Saints Church, built in 1450, although early history mentions the Chapel at Ballingdon as early as 1154. In the church there is a beautiful octagonal fifteenth century pulpit, saved from destruction during the wars by being boarded up and hidden from view until discovered by accident in 1850. ; Tired, hungry and often very dusty, we arrived home, quite ready to do justice to mother's dinner of roast beef, Yorkshire pudding and light dessert. After dinner we more or less lazed away the afternoon, Tea was at five o'clock. After tea some of us generally went to evening ser- vice 'with my mother, while those who were more energetic went to some church other than our own-- maybe to a nearby Village--which meant another walk! Ilaster Monday was observed as a holiday and 1 suppose we amused ourselves in various ways as [ don't remember any particular family affair. I wonder what Easter week- ends are like in England today? No doubt long country walks are out of fashion. Times change, but of sone thing I am certain--Ryes Lane is still in existence, where prim- roses bloom and robins sing. This weekend, while we were being de- luged with rain, the English coun- tryside was bathed in warmth and sunshine. That much [ know from the radio. It is nice to know that somewhere the sun" was shining. Not that we have anything to grumble about--wet though it is, we are not quite flooded out, as they are in many parts of the United States.

Robbie Burns The Great Lover "I wish I could find a lassie tas lo'e me as well as my dog does." "WIth this remark Robert Burns kicked his dog out of the room im which he was dancing and into which the dog had: followed him, ruining a reel by getting amongst the feet of the dancers. "Weel, hae ye found the lassie tas lo'e ye as-weel ag your dog?" asked attractive, gay Jean Armour to him as she saw him in the fields next -day. ' The result was inevitable, Burns was at once launched upon one of his tempestuous, all-absorbing love affairs. - Scotland's national poet certainly believed lové to be "the first of human joys, our chiefest pleasure here below." And by love he meant no vague and general affection, but the love .of man for maid, and maid for man in the full flood of youthful® ardour. : Amorous Adventures Like many another gay compan- ionable "man's. man" in masculine tavern society he was the "woman's man" of his age and immediate surroundings. He adored the whole sex--and most of that sex to whom he paid address found him irresis- tible. Robert Burns, as all the world knows, was a ploughman. He was brought up in poor and arduous circumstances, But he "exercised over women of all classes and ages a truly astonishing fascination. In that fascination there was nothing of the unpleasant slinking quality of the professional seducer, writes Moray McLaren in "Answers." Burns' appeal to the female sex was based on sheer masculine open- hearted admiration, coupled with a boyishly romantic temperament, and a tongue that could speak poctry that no Scat before or 'since has surpassed. 5 Poetic, romantic, highly sensitive though he may have been, Robert Burns did not confine his love- making to the spiritual plane. In- deed, the freedom he allowed him- ~ self in physical love has long be- come a part of the "Burns Legend." It was a freedom which, as is well known, often had unfortunate results. WR Burns was one of those men who seem by nature to be unusually fer- tile. The same Jean Armour who eventually became his wife actually bore him with startling rapidity two sets of twins before the marriage. Apart for this pre-nuptial adven- ture there were many other amorous adventures with the lassies of Ayr- shire and Edinburgh, which ended in the same way. Amongst all his female admirers 'there were, however, three who were pre-eminent. Between them they occupied by far the most im- portant part in the love-life of Robert Burns. They were Highland Mary, Mrs. Agnes Mclechose, and Jean Armour, whom he eventually married. All three have a certain mystery or at least fantasy attach- ed to_ their relationship with Scot- land's greatest poct. The mystery is deepest about Highland Mary, That there was a woman who came from just across the Highland line into Ayshire and into Burns' life, and that this wo- man profoundly affected Burns, and left in him one of the few really 'deep sensations of remorse from which he suffered, there can be no doubt. But astonishingly little is known about her; so that at the end of the last century some people suggested that she was no more than a poetic fancy. This is nonsense Highland Mary, whatever she was like, was a real woman who disturbed the emotions of Burns to their depths. He said little gbout her at the time. It is known that he pledged his troth with her in the old Scottish fashion (and a , signed Bible is evidence of it exists). But in the complications of his life at the time, and as a result of the loose old Scottish marriage con- ventions, Burns may well have feared that he was committing bigamy. At any rate, poor Mary, it is now certain, returned to her parents and died of a fever while giving birth to a child, probably Burns'. Those who believe this support their claim by the discovery of a baby's coffin in Mary's tomb when it was opened up in 1920 Mrs. McLehose was a-véry dif ferent woman. She came from high society in Edinburgh but had been deserted by a rascally husband. She had made a dead set at Burns when the ploughman poet was being lionised in the Scottish capital. It was a new experience for Burns to be made love to so open- 'ly by a woman in her class and he was puzzled. She obviously ardent: ly worshipped him, yet her con. science would not let that worship reach the conclusion which he had up till then found invariable in his relationships with women. The result was a elaborate, and fantastic correspon- dence (conducted between them even when they were living jn the same small town as Edinburgh then was) ' It was a correspondence of love if ever there was one, yet it was conderted in the realm of high artl- fice.

Jean Armour, who eventually-be- came Burns' wife, has her own mystery attached to her; and it is a very simple one--why did Burns marry her? After the episode of the dog and the dance Burns not only made 'love to her but went through a Scots form of marriage with her, He was then young and unknown, and Jean's parents (despite the fact that a set of twins were on the way) destroyed the evidence of the marriage by wounding the poet's pride. Burns: then went to Edinburgh, became famous, and: upon his re- turn to Ayrshire proceeded in the most casual manner to give Jean another set of twins, but he clearly despised her and had outgrown her. Then, to everyone's astonish- ment, he, who had now as large an experience of love as is granted to most men, married this cast-off whose family had once so grossly insulted him. It was to his friends at the time an inexplicable action, and remains inéxplicable to us to- day. There was very little allure- ment left and-I am afraid that one must exclude the element of chivalry. "Among the Lasses" However, Burns did marry her and after a. fashion she made him not a bad wife. Many have censured Burns . for &is indiscriminate and wide love- making. Indeed, it is difficult to defend his utter lack of discipline when "amang the lasses O." but there was about his amorousness a kind of gay healthiness which, as I have said, far removes it from that of the slinking seducer kind. At any rate, reprehensible or not, Burns' love fot the lasses of his native land produced a wealth of lyric poetry which has spread his name all over the world. There is no country in which the lines beginning "My love is like a red red rose" are not known. No Scotsman _is more internationally famous. And in all Great Britain only two other poets have beea more translated--Shakespeare and Byron -- and incidentally - Byr was half a Scot. - WANTED ADVICE Will Cuppy once reported the receipt of a letter from a faithful fan that reads, "Please send me the name of some good hook om personal hygiene. 1 think ['ve got it."
