Don't" misunderstand me -- 1 don't doubt his love, and we have wonderful times together. But marriage should mean more than that. "I've known that he likes to drink too much now and then. I've also seen how close he is to his men friends, even break- ing our dates to play cards with them. They are all single, and I'm wondering whether, as his wife, I'd spend mgre evenings waiting for him to ww me home. That isn't my {dea of being married. . "l want a home with him, not without him. 1 love children, and I want mine to have a father they grow up with, He and I have had few evenings to discuss things that matter -- planning our house, talking about his business affairs, and the intimate "give-and-take of two peopde who expect to spend the rest of time under one roof. Most evenings we've been at parties or shows, always on the go (his choice, not mine), and without that communion of spirit on which a sound marriage should be built. We don't even go to church together. . . . In other words, I see how little we 'New "Needle Art" by Counce Wheel "Paint" a colorful picture with needle and wool -- fascinating hobby!

' FRIGHTENED" DANGER SIGNS * It is not necessary that a " man and his girl have every- thing in common, but to marry one whose pattern of living is so opposed to your own is to start a battle of tempera- ments that could well lead to disaster. Your picture of mar- riage is sharing a home with your husband, raising a fam- ily and making that home the centre of your life and theirs. There must be love, of course, but love alone cannot guar- antee a good life for either of you. If your fiance expects to continue finding his pleasure mingling with his men friends, you two would be in conflict from the start, What you want is content- ment within your own walls, a spiritual companionship, a sense of well-being based on just being together. fer so widely that you haven't anythinig in common but a physical love? * Gather up your courage and find out whether he intends to be a part-time husband whose hqme is a place to eat and sleep, or if he is willing to give up play- ing at life and follow the de- sign of mature couples who find their reward in a rich family relationship for them- selves and their children. If two people have not some mutual interests and do not en- joy spending their leisure to- gether, marriage soon becomes an impossible farce. It is for your fiance to decide which type of home you will have. SHE MISSES HIM "Dear Anne Hirst: I'm afraid I've lost my boy friend. Some- how he got the idea I wanted to go steady; he didn't, so we part- ed. I sec him often, though. He doesn't avoid me, but. miss him so! "I'd be thankful if you would tell me how I can find out if he still likes me, and how to get him back. I know he doesn't go out much with any other girl. "There are two other boys that want to date me. Shall 1 accept their offer? } LONESOME" * Girls your age have lots * more fun and are more popu- * lar if they don't give the im- * pression they want to mon- * opolize all a boy's time. Boys *-in their teens aren't ready to * settle down and they resent * possessiveness, so the girl who * seems too eager puts them on * the spot. Keep in mind: that * it is his place to suggest go- * ing steady, and you'll save * yourself -- and your beau -- * a lot of misunderstanding. - - * * Ld LJ . + * Ll - LE JE EE SEE NE JE ONE Se SEE EE TEE EE RE TE ER SN JS SP SU 4 6 8 + 4 8 FRB ee Eee CN This boy may grow interest- ed again when he sees you go- ing around with the other two. Be smart and do that. If he should call you, have a con- venient engagement that even- ing, and hereafter let him real- ize he is just one of several friends. Otherwise, I'm afraid you'll not have him take you out again. N Ll * . Marriage is not for adolescents whose happiness consists of good times. It is for grownups ready to settle down and share the richest experience life holds for any of us.

Many seamen believe that any- ° thing found in a fish is lucky. A bass caught off the Devon coast in 1939 certainly brought luck to a holiday-making angler. He and his wife decided 'to have it for. supper and while prepar- ing it he found a large emerald 'in its gullet, ' It proved to be part of the pro- ceeds of a robbery, How the emerald got into the fish's gullet was never discovered, but the finder pocketed the $250 reward which had been offered several years before for its recovery. When a Grimsby trawler reached port in 1923, a fisherman named Blyth proudly exhibited a sovereign which he had found inside a codfish caught 160 miles from Spurn Head. It bore the date 1915 and appeared to have been battered by the force of an explosion which apparently blew up an unknown ship dur- ing the first world war. It was believed that the sov- ereign was gulped by the cod as it went shimmering into the depths of the sea. 'Cod are very greedy and will swallow anything bright. In the Gulf of St. Lawrence a fisher- man found an emerald brooch in a large cod. A Kingston shop- keeper's assistant found a gold wedding ring in the mouth of a cod bought at the Billingsgate Market in London. Another gold ring was found inside a 7 Ib. cod landed at Whit- by. A jeweller who examined it* said it was of the design known as the lover's knot which was very popular forty years ago. In Boyne City, Mhicigan, Mrs. H. Robinson could hardly believe her eyes when she cut open a fish and found inside the ear- ring she had lost two years pre- viously at a fish hatchery.

From all accounts: it was a very good show but 1 cannot speak from cxperience as this was one time we did not go--thmre semed so many other things this year to take-up our " attention--business affairs, itors coming and going, peaches, VIS= though we are no longer en- "gaged 1 furming on a full time basis there is still plenty to do. Perhaps and 'do more nn other ways. And it may be we are learning more about our own locality. .As 0 that how will do any of us know the district in which" we live? 1 was wondering this the other: day when | was looking for peaches --and there wasn't a peach in town. Knowing this a friend said 10 me--"Why don't {ou get peaches from the S ... farm --they have lovely fruit!" That was news (o me although the S .. farm is only about six or seven miles from here and they have been growing orch- ard fruits for quite a number of years. So there you are, good fruit right in our own neighbourhood and 1 didn't know it. But I do know quite a lot of folk are still driving all the way to the Niagara fruit belt just to get a few bas- kets of peaches, That is only one example but enough to prove that it might be worth too, we cece _quiries and explore the pos- sibilities of our own district be- fore travelling farther afield, Of wourse it didn't take me long tn spread the good peach news «ound in our own im- mediate family.

We . climbed the "mountain" by one road and came down by an- other. If .it could be called a road. 'To be it was more like a rocky winding trail through ~ the bush. Of course the view was magnificent--the view al- ways is from practically = in- accessible places. At the foot of the hills we found many isol- ated ranch-type houses among the shelter of the trees. Very nice, especially in sum- mer--:{ that is what a person likes. 'But in winter . . . I took one look and had visions - of snow-filled roads with no ac- cess to civilization- except by car--and how would a car get through on roads? Supposing provisions ran low--or worse someone . was 'suddeniy taken ill? People seem to go to such extremes in choosing a place to live.

It was a W.L_ meeting that took me to this very nice coun- try. home and it was one of the best meetings I. ever attended. .},---Good because the members were so alert to the important part of W.I. work and also to affairs pertaining to. country women as a whole, This was evident by the intelligent discussion of re- solutions sent in from the Dis- trict area pending their pre- sentaticn at the forthtoming Convention. The pros and cons - of every resolution were con- sidered in detail, and the: dis- cussion which arose 'was most enlightening, Another thing I liked . . . evidently a few min- utes at every meeting is given over to studying the Institute Handbook.

" But however much she studies, she cannot, in one gulp, gain the same amount of knowledge from the book that she would have done had it been taken in small doses over a period of years, . Maybe . the W.L Hand- book should carry an additional slogan besides "For Home and Country", Perhaps is should carry the advise--"This book to be read, marked and inwardly digested--by easy stages."

If 50, you ought to be feeling pretty, fit. - Laughter's not only a tine!" ener according to an expert who .has conductéd exhaustive re- search into the value of laughter. So serious is a Paris professor about this laughter business that he has been glving lessons on how to laugh. First he gets his "pupils" -- mainly tired business men and women -- to relax.' Then he plays a laughing record on a gramophone and soon every- body is laughing. If*people would only exchange more jokes and have more fun in all they do, misunderstandings would vanish from the world, thinks Mr. George Lewis, chief of The National Laughter Foun- dation. What is laughter? Take a deep breath and read this ancient technical description: "It's a spasmodic movement of various muscles of the body beginning with those which half close the eyes and those which draw back- wards and upwards the sides of the mouth and then open it to expose the teeth, next affecting those of respiration so as to pro- duce short, rapidly succeeding expirations accompanid by sound. . . ." So now you know! A small outcast trib of Ceylon, known as the Veddas, never laugh. When asked why, they reply: "What is there to laugh at?" A sum of $5,000 was once of- fered to anybody who could make a certain woman laugh. Hundreds of people tried : to vainly cracking jokes. She list- ened with a serious face to lead- ing New York comedians wise- cracking -- and never even smiled, Nobody won the prize. The. reason?. Because she was incap- able of laughter.; Her facia) muscles had been paralyzed ever since she was & girl. Q. 1 have a figured lamp wish te place in front of a pic- . ture window.
