He never 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 man, 11 years older than I'am, who has fallen in love with me. This man treats me beautifully, makes me feel important. He is talented and cultured, and pros- perous. It I knew I stand no chance to marry the boy I care for, 1 am pretty sure I could fall in 'love again, for the man is attractive and we are compati- ble. Though -we've gone .to-_ gether now and then for only three months, he has asked me to marry him. My family know who his people are; they admire him, and encourage his visits. * "How can 1 put the boy I love to the test? I've got, to know--- but I don't want to seem to for- ward. LOVE OR HABIT? , Sod v I am not convinced you care "terribly" for the boy you've gone with for five years, or the very 'idea of falling in love with- another man would not occur to you. Evidently you have not gone with another boy all this time, and this one has become a habit. Your situation today is the result of rating yourself so cheaply. You should have handled your beau very .dif- ferently. He has come to see you when he pleased, instead of according you the mary formality of making a date; for all you know, he may- have been seeing other girls, high-handed because you loved him, and were afraid you'd lose him. No wonder he has taken advantage of that! Next time he , rings -your bell, tell him you are sorry but you have another engage- ment. Repeat this a few times, Jiffy!

"You advised - against this se- crecy, and explained why. We talked things over, and decided to. wait--till things "straightened out for wus both. Both our families needed the contributions we made from our salaries. "How happy I am we took your advice! We are going to be married next month, and thanks to you, I shall have the church wedding I've always dreamed of. It was hard to wait, but it was worth it . , . I'm ashamed. not to have thanked you before, but I certainly do now, and so. does my fiance. : MARGE" * I rejoice. with you and con- * gratulate you on your good * sense and patience. * Appreciation is always heart- * warming, no matter when it * comes.

Modern Etiquette Q.--How and. heh does the his fee to the A.--The bridegroom should give the money or cheque (en- closed in an envelope) to his best man, who gives it to the minis- ter after the ceremony, and, of course, privately. Q.--]Js it considered proper for a woman to adjust her make-up. _at the table after dining in a public restaurant? A.--This was formerly ed upon, but society has now re- lented enough to condone the re- pairs most women deem neces- sary to their lips and shiny noses after eating. Q.--Is it necesary for a young woman to rise when being in- troduced to the mother of a girl friend? A.--Most certainly; seated would be exceedingly ill- bred. Q.--When friends, who have 'movegl_into a new home, invite you to an "open house," are you obligated to bring a gift? A.--No; this is merely an in- vitation to visit these friends and see their new home. If, however, you ave giving a '"house-warm- ing" in _their honor, then, of course, you are expected to give a gift. Q.--Should a man ever hand his coat to a woman for her to assist him in-patting it on? ~ A.--Only if he is rheumatic or very feeble. Otherwise, he should be capable of getting into his coat without the, woman's assis- tance. Q.--1 should like to} ave my mother serve as my matron-of- honour at my wedding. Is this all right? A.~Yes. And the bridegroom is privileged to choose his father as his best man, too. Q.~What should a woman do- when calling unexpectedly on a friend, if she finds that her friend A.--She may say, "I see you _are ready to go out; I won't keep you." However, if her friend in- sists. that she stay awhile, it is all right for her to remain, but not longer than ten or fifteen - minutes, Kad Xi Liha, > frown--- to remain The Eye That Sees "Most Everything If the electronic eye were used in every known way, it would put thousands of people out of + work in this country alone.

For this pur- pose infra-red light is used, which is invisible to the buman eye. A beam is thrown across an open space. If an intruder breaks this beam an alarm goes ofl; hidden camera with a noise- making device. The hears the noise and looks at the cangera just in time to be photo- graphed. : Scores of uses for the elec- -{ronic eye are being tested to re- duce road accidents. One device will automatically dim the head- - lights of approaching cars at night. The headlights on one cal act on a mechanism in the other and turn 'on a dipper. No other mechanical device can count as fast as the electric eye. In textile mills, for exam- ple, electric eyes are being used to check the threads on a piece of cloth as it passes through 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. 2 In giant stamping machines the eye protects the"operator's hands. As long as one finger blocks the little pencil of light the heavy jaws are suspended, and wil not close 'until the hand is with- drawn. : One machine has been report- ed which will scan a drawing photo-electrically, translate lines to fit the movements o1 cutting tools, and eject a finished article.

It was the occasion of the Fifth Women's Institute - Officers' Conference for Ontario Delegates came from points as far as distant as the borders of 'Manitoba, Quebec and the United States, and from the northerly district of Cochrane, It was a two-day affair so there were many from distant points who stayed in residence at the College from Wednesday night to Saturday morning. Now for some of the highlights. Dr. J. D. MacLachlan, president of the" O.A.C. welcomed the dele- gates and outlined the work and opportunities of the students coming from farms. Two inter- esting -- and interested -- visit- the Reverend Mother Mary Ali- cia and Sister Marie Adele, so- cial welfare workers from the "Dominca Republic, B.W.L, tour- ing Canada for the purpose ot studying rural, social and edu- cational work --in- this: country. Mothér Mary -Alicia told the - Conference that - two. years ago a Women's League had been or- ganized in Dominica patterned after. the W. I. in Canada. The need for social work in that country. was shown to be very great, and so, as a practical ges- ture of goodwill, a collection was taken up at "the Conference, amounting to $211, which was given to and gratefully received by, the two Dominca Welfare Workers. various' W. I. branches were. the conveners of Home Economics and Health and the 'onveners of Resolutions, so the throughout the Conference were slanted towards those subjects. There yore many excellent ad- dresses. . Mackinnon Phillips, Minister Dr 'Health, spoke on the "i= "Health of Ontario," -outlining- | - . the progress that- had already been made for the care of psy- chiatric cases and the project already underway to provide hospital care and treatment for mentally retarded children. An- other speaker, Mr. McVittie, In- the Guelph plan' to help pupils in rural schools who need special train- ing, the same as the. special courses already available. in ur- cookies for their families to feed - ors throughout the session were - "The official delegates from- the | edible oils, addresses - spector for Auxiliary Classes for ° district, outlined a _ ban centres. Anyone interested, and no doubt there will be many, can obtain full information from their own local Inspector of ~ Schools. A panel 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. The 'main- purpose 'of the discussion was to promote better understanding of the im- portance of good eating habits, particularly in regard to chil- dren. 'Resolutions, as a topic, for dis- cussion, could be uninteresting. At the Guelph Conference it was far from being that. Byrne Hope Sanders, well-known to the public as one-time editor of - "Chateliane" gave an inspiring address, emphasizing - the strength and effectiveness of resolutions, if properly used. These two points - were proved beyond question by the next speaker -- Mrs. W. O. Walton, president of the Canadian Con- "sumers" association. Walton -- "Never vote for a resolution unless you are pre- pared to back it up. . always send supporting data with the resolution make it souna and convincing . . . and send the resolution not only to the Gov- ernment but to the Opposition Mrs. Walton reported that the CCA had been "working on a resolution' which came from the W.I. to have sizes for children's clothes standardized, a plan on which the manufacturers are now working. Progress was also reported on a request for screw- tops for jam jars and for the dis- continuance of red and white wrappers for bacon. The Hon. Dana Porter assured the delegates that sending reso- lutions to the Government was not waste of time, that most legislation was the direct result of resolutions from various groups. Referring to the brief on this. resolution, said was. so reasonable Mr. Porter, and constructive that it could be accepted practically in its entire- ty. It showed members of other industries that the dairy industry is basic to agriculture and jf it fails other industries will suffer. - There you have the. highlights of thé" 'Conference. .

I know I lay myself open arto the risk of being shot at dawn or being battered to death by umbrellas when I say that court- . ing couples. have 'not. the re- motest idea of what love really - means. I say that real love does not. even begin to grow until - after marriage. Nor do I believe that there is any truth in love at first. sight. _ It is absolutely impossible. Noth- ing could be more: ridiculous than the belief that'two people, meet- .ing for the first time, can fall in love. They. may not speak the same language, One might adore bebop and the other Brahms; ope might find heaven 'in a ballroom and the other on a mountain top; one might love children and the other hate the sight of them. Love at first sight? Poppycock! Before you start throwing things at me, consider the mat- ter sensibly. What first attracted you to your present boy friend? Perhaps he was tall and tanned; or he had wavy hair and blue eyes; or: he smoked .a pipe; or he danced well. You had a thrill each time he spoke to you; your ~ heart began to do 'queer things. ~You- smiled brightly and put yourself out to charm him. He fell for your smile and your shape, and -dated you for the following week. You may have thought youi- self in love, but you weren't. Wou were just attracted physically. You were afraid, because you - thought him so good- looking, that you would not be able" to hold him against competition. So every time you met, you were on your best behaviour. You dressed = as .attractively as you could afford. You -your way to please him and to agree with him. You let' him think he was marvellous. At the same time, perhaps, he was - doing exactly the same thing. He was afraid some other man would take you from him, . so he was charming every time you met. In cases like this it often hap- pens that odd habits suddenly pop out which you don't like. So he may find your bright chat- - ter a litlle boring, so he kisses you. And you both think the world is wonderful, and love grand?" Then you have a row and part. For a day or so you are miser-- able. Then another wavy-haired, tanned young man appears on the scene and the same thing happens over again. And once more youi believe you are in love. Or perhaps that first row comes after you are married, and you are not able to shake it 'off. The next thing you know went out of. "ain't . you are in the divorge court Te. member, all the thousands of people who go through the-div- -orce courts every year once felt: : just 'as you do, and were just as . certain that they* were in'love. I am not being cynical' 1 know 'that anly a fraction of marriages break wg But I want to show that real love, undying love, only comes after marriage, - when there' is no need to put on an : act to hold your man, when «troubles come and have to be faced. That Is the testing time : . supersedes it, "and know, 1 of love. Could it Have Happened?? "Have you ever seen two mid- dle-aged 'people walking or sit- ting together, not speaking, but quite happy in mutual silence? Could that have happened when you were courting? No, you would be frantically thinking of what to say .mext, in case he thought you were a bore. : The bonds of love cannot be forced in the hothouse air of- courtship. They are 'forged by years of close association, by facing adversity together, and because of memories shared, and by the exercise of tolerance and common sense. Love is a mixture of the phy- sical, mental, and spiritual be- tween two people, and that mix- ture cannot be achieved before marriage. Nature generally arranges that as the fierce flame of passion die down, true affection begins to take its place, and eventually until both per-- sons become halves of one whole quite seriously, that they couldn't live without each other.
