I did the same thing that woman Aid, married just to say I had a husband. 1 loved another man, as she does, and someone stole him from me, but to this day when I see him my heart beats faster-. . . I was lucky. My hus- band turned out to be a fine man, and for years I prayed to God to make me Jove him as he de- Serves. "Heshas been a good husband and father. Never goes anywhere without me, works every day, doesn't drink, turns in his pay and never asks where the money went. During the depression he was out of work five years; 1 did housecleaning to make a few dollars® and 1 have raised six wonderful children | A few times TI was tempted to leave, but I stayed for the children's sake, because they and their fa- ther loved cach other so. "Now we have a country home. and we've helped all the c¢hil- dren to own theirs. I've been repard a dozen times by them all, and thanks to God, I've got everything 1 ever wished for. "My last wish was for my hus- band to consent to take my mo- ther (age "83) into our home when my father passed away two months ago. She is with us now, and my husband even built in a private bathroom for her I Tove him more than T thought 1 ever could. 1 can forget the other mian; we will meet in the next world if it is to be. - "I"m still thinking of that other reader's temptation. I hate to see the mother of three children let them lose their father. Ruin a good man's life? Oh no! If she leaves him, it is she who will pay for it.

Two vears ago | divorced my hus- band and he married again. Now he is getting a divorce from his second wife, and he wants me to remarry him. "I still love the man, and Um afraid 1 always will in spite of the trouble we went | through. But would those same bid argu- ments repeat themselves? "What would vou advise me to LAE EE EE SE JE EE EE TEE NEE SS NY do" i MoE You do not say why vou di- " vorced vour husband. If vou have reason to think he would be more-matyre than he was, it now, vou have sound reason to consider the idea. See him for a while after his divorce is final, and learn what kind of man he is today. After a separation, two people are apt to dorget the bitterness that parted them and recall only" the happy times they had together. It seems to me, though, that a reasonable per- iod of rediscovering each other is inorder. He may "have understood how much he really cared for vou only after hge married again, and asks another chance because he believes now he can make you really content. Since vou still love him. von are more than willing to for- get the past and make a new start--but this time go slow, and be very sure before vou corcent to marry him. o " LEE EE TE TE TE ETE ET SS SS SY 3» * 2 2 2 2 0% 3 + 3 ® Help other readers by writing Anne Hirst how you conquered situations that seemed hopeless..

How long should a wedding ring be worn after the husband has passed away? A. A widow continues to wear the wedding ring during lifetime, v=" < she becomes en- gaged" to «va second lime. Following t.: announcement of her engagement, she ceases to wear her first wedding ring. Q.

The envelope should be addressed either to the sister or the brother, but never to both. Q. When a young girl is intro- ducing her sister to a person, should she call her sister "Miss Harris?" A.

How wrong she was! She had obviously never heard of 'the ardent young Italian who, tak- ing a stroll through a street in " Rome, saw a dark-eyed beauty of cighteen . whom he at once decided was the girl of his dreams. Some men would have thought it rather a snag that the girl was already in the com- pany of an admirer, an air force cadet, but not our Italian. He was far too infatuated to worry about a detail like that! He had made up hi mind that she would be his wife! He followed them until they parted tenderly at the door of the girl's home. Next evening he hired a car and, going to the girl's home, he pulled up and waited. At seven the girl appeared. So" did her sweetheart, who was just about to greet her on-the corner with a kiss when the -Italian put in an appearance. He drove alongside them, jumped out of the car, knocked out and bundled the into the car. Then he drove off at breakneck speed. "I am taking vou to a hut in the woods where you will be well cared: for" he told the girl. "You won't be able to leave un- til vou have promised to marry me." . The girl began to struggle and scream, The car swerved mmto a ditch, but the Italian drove along H, forcing the car back on to the road and con- tinuing the nightmare journev. reached the hut as dusk fell after the girl had been quictened by a blow on the head. He had just carried her into the hut when some police, ac- companied bv the air force cadet, rushed in. The cave-man suifor wus arrested. That Halian is now in pris- on, but other wooers who have resorted to similar caveman methods of "getting their wo- - man' "have been more success- ful. In Nevada, a rich youne busi- nessman fell violently in love _ with a shapely voung biunette who called at his some documents plover. "You are truly lovely dp want you to be my bride." fe told the surprised girl. At first she thought he was joking. But when he locked the office door and told her he would not let her out until she asreed to marry him, it was obvious that he was in deadly earnest. with em- office from her "I am a man with an iron will," he told her, "and 1 always have my way. Until vou came in here a little while ago, I "thought 1 hated all "women. Will vou marry me?" At that moment the 'phone "bell rang and the girl snatching the receiver, Help!" Realizing she had won the first round. the businessman re- shouted: "Help! ' leased her. The girl rushed home. Being an orphan and alone she had no relatives to . consult, She hated the thought of the publicity that would follow any exposure of her violent wooer, so she decided to leave the town quietly and take another job fifteen miles away, She left two days later. not knowing that her extraordinary stiitor would still pursue her, During the next six weeks she encountered him six times in public and each time he pro- posed to her. Each time 'she turned him down. The girl moved to a smaller hotel. He followed. taking the room next door. She hung up on him when he rang and began to propose. Two nights later, as the girl slept, a fire broke out in the hotel. While the fiames roared nearer and firemen battled with them her persistent © lover climbed along a drainpipe and smashed in her window. Enter- ing the room, he lifted her from the bed and, after fran- tically knotting the bedclothes together, successfully lowered the half-fuinting girl to safety. He followed five minutes later, scorching his hair and clothes but escaping serious injury, "Now will you marry me?" he whispered, as he took her in a faxie to another hotel. "Did you--did vou set the hotel on fire?" she asked ap- her up palled, but at the same time realizing that, whatever his answer, she "must marry him now, : "Ot course not, my dear," he replied, his eyes shining, They are now happily mar- ried with a family of three.

The streets were not marked and I wasn't sure where I was. I park- ed the car and got out to inquire. Unfortunately two things hap- pened, I was parked near a deep and dirty mud-puddle and I. didn't close 'the car door prop- erly. Robbie jumped out of the car, slap-bang into the middle of the mud-puddle. Of course I couldn't take him into anyone's house after that--and what the inside of my car was like I will leave you to imagine. Robbie didn't like it any better than I did as he is a dainty little dog and hates to get his feet wet. He was also very hurt because he wasn't allowed to visit in the house. So you see what I mean-- dogs can get into mischief just as easily as children. When they should be on their best beha- viour they never are. Marriage Oddities Thyee young ex-servicemea wanted to marry a pretty Amer ican girl who liked them equally well.

Two young couples living ia France arranged a quiet-doubla wedding in a village church. While driving to the ceremony the two. brides-to-be were in- eration being necessary in each case. But they insisted on being married first and he joint cere- mony took place while they lay v on the operating tables. At a marriage in Manchester, the bride exchanged her Chris- tian name for the surname of her groom, and her own surname for his Christian name.

We had a touch of frost last week; not enough lo do any real harm but enough to get everyone worrled about their gardens --just in case. Now the danger seems to be past and we can prepare ourselves to enjoy Indian summer, the maple trees already having taken on a reddish hue. By present appear- looks as if we should have a beautiful, colourful fall. There is plenty of sap in the trees so the leaves should stay on the frees longer than they did last year. We had a desidedly dry fall then, if you remember. The leaves dropped quickly and there was little of the lovely col- ouring we associate with the fall season. This year the story shouid be different. Another thing we are noticing . squirrels! More squirrels than we have seen for many vears. Black, grey and red squir- rels. A few days ago a big grey squirrel fel! out of the Virginia creeper on {0 our bedroom win- dow. For a minute we wondered what on carth. was coming as the furry creature slithered down- wards. We are wondering what can be the meaning of this sud- den increase in the number of squirrels. Where did they come from and where will they win- ter? We know it is supposed to be the sign of a hard winter ahead when squirrels lay up a big store of nuts, But an increase in the squirrels themselves . . . that has us puzzled Still another surprise . . .

Partner is still busy on his "redding up" campaign. And in that connection he told me last Tuesday that he had broken up something over which I was lia- ble to "raise Cain." ; "And what was that?" I in- quired, "The old answered. He was wrong. 1 didn't mind barrel churn," he in the least. I had no sentimen- tal attachment for that derelict piece of equipment, I was never the world's best butter-maker, Probably I never had the right touch' or something. I remember I used to churn and churn for ever so long---sitting, standing, reading or just merely thinking, as I worked the handle back and forth, Sometimes 1 would hope- fully raise the lid expecting to see the cream just about read to gather. Usually it wasn't.
