The husband of one of my dearest friends has been running around four or flve months now, and a group of us are wondering whether we should tell her, or decide it is none of our business. We feel she can put a stop to it if she « doesn't wait too long. The man holds an important post in town and he couldn't ~ stand any scandal. If his su- periors discover this, he would be dismissed, and his wife and children would suffer. What do you say? - A FRIEND . DON'T . * This knowledge makes you * feel responsible, I know, and * you want to do the right thing. But if any one of you dares tell the man's wife of his dallying, do you think she would ever want to face you again? -You~would act in kindness, but wouldn't she wish -you had been still? Perhaps she knows already and is meeting the situation in her own fashion. At any rate, she would be mortified to learn that the matter has he- come common gossip.

He is kind and thoughtful, and very atten- tive, but I just can't help think- ing of a former boy I like so much more! I' went with him for two years, and he kept on drinking although often he promised he would stop. Now he has called me up again, and of course my family won't al- low me to see him. They admire the boy I'm go- ing with, and of course I don't want to hurt him, but really I'd have much better times with the one I used to know. What do you think? UNHAPPY You gave your former boy friend more chances to be- have himself than he de- served, and still he continued to drink as before. I am afraid if you see him again it would be the same story; you cer- tainly don't want to be dis- illusioned again, do you? For years and years I have warned young girls against dating any boy who drinks. | * IY * * * LJ * Ld * * * * * Not only does it weaken the * morals, but the girl gets her- * » » » * LJ * * * * * * * self talked about unpleaSantly. - And surely you don't want to appear so unpopular that you can only date a weak charac- ter?

Bt -gardens Taking a Walk In Kew Gardens The other day, when it had stopped raining, Joy and I went cover to Kew to walk in the gar- dens. . Phere was' something strange about , the 'place.. Something in the air, besides the mist. We seemed to be the only people there (except one or two uni- formed attendants and some qul- etly busy gardeners). There was "no one on the gate. The atten- dant was sitting in the warmth of his green hut and did not, for the moment, notice us. Then he heard us. He came out, took our thruppences, let the turn- stile turn and went back inside. We walked on. The paths were wet. The grass, which was un- usually long. for Kew, was wet- ter. Except for a few blue and yellow crocuses--weather-beaten, but brave--the only colors vis- ible were greens and grays; the greens of grass and bush and tree and the grays of the "tem- ples," museums, and plant houses, and of the mist, The gardens were a world alone confined inside the arc of the mist. Although they had the beauty of well-tended parkland they did not have the real feel of Kew. The mist was cold. And a pale, shadow sun was trying to feel its way out. Perhaps it was a mistake to come to Kew at such a time, so early in the year. The museums were closed apd. the plant houses -, mostly shut i repairs It seem- ed impossiblé that this was Kew, glorious Kew, the English garden that has been teacher to the world. . The man from Kew sailed in that open boat with Bligh across the empty ocean to Timor after the mutiny on the Bounty. In this case his name was David Nelson. He was after breadfruit trees to take to the Caribbean. _The man from Kew--Sir Jos- eph Hooker--provided the first rubber plants for Malaya and ~ Ceylon. The man from Kew--Henry Ridley--was there in Malaya to see that. the first trees flourished and persuade planters that rub- her had a future, " The man from Kew--Francis Masson--brought the flowers" of Africa to England (including" the geranium). The man from Kew developed the cocoa indus- try. The man from Kew spread the Himalayan rhododendron clear across the world. So we picked our- way across the wet grass down to the Pa- goda, an octagonal tower 163 feet high built 200 years ago by a knight who wrote essays on oriental = gardening, and- then déwn a wide avenue (called, I believe, Cedar Vista). A "droop" - of exotic geese, which had been sleeping perched each on one pink leg in a strengthening patch -of sunlight--you can't call sleep- ing geese a "gaggle," surely?-- woke up and barked at us for disturbing them, At the end of the lake a black- bird came and hopped around, looking inquiringly at us. We 'greeted him and then went on to the Rhododendron Dell--a few early types had flowered but then surrendered to the night frost--where another alert blackbird hopped out beside us and looked up at us. Or was it the same blackbird? Then, a little further on, an- other bird appeared. We were being followed. ' We passed a" gardener on_a ladder pruning giant azaleas (and said "Morning") and then, when we had gone a sufficient distance and were again alone out in the open parkland, we stopped and I put the back of my left hand to my lips and made a series of .chipping noises. At once one, two, three black- birds flew down and hopped around us, cocking their heads . first one way and then the other. A flock of sparrows came. A robin. And two chaffinches, one, of which sat on the toe of my right shoe. We suddenly realized that, of course, all morning Kew had been filled with bird song. The were full of sound. There was a thrush now at the top of a bare chestnut tree sing- ing like a nightingale. Down on the ground the birds looked up at us expectantly. I felt a bit of a fraud, for I had no crumbs for them. We were surrounded with birds. They seemed: to be saying something: "Where is everybody?: Where are they? Don't you know that spring is going to be a little early this year?" , - : There is no doubt about it. The song birds of England have made up their minds on that score, We could almost imagine that, Kew was already blazing with' .color--a magic garden that is the warmest place in England. --John Allan May in The Chris- tian Science Monitor, . rd ------------ "Your girl friend 'phoned," said Mr, Brown to his son.

YGiNGERFARM Gwendoline P.Clatke There is one advantage to a big farm house -- if the west side is cold you can generally take refuge in the south side of the house. That is what I am doing now. A north-west wind is. blowing a regular gale mak- 'ing the front of the house as cold as a barn. We can't get more heat from the {furnace without leaving it unchecked, and that we are «afraid to do. Better be a little cold than take a chance on burning the house "down. However, we have one small room in a sunny south corner that is as snug as can be -- and so, here I am, typewriter- and all. This makes the third windy day we have had this week -- March winds with a vengeance. Last Tuesday was the first and on that day the De- partment of Highways set up some kind of road block just outside our gate, stopping and questioning the driver of every south-bound vehicle. The men were there from seven in the morning to six at night. Pre- sumably it was some kind of traffic census. Such a day for a job like that. Wednesday Partner sent out another load of scrap -- the metal remains of our seed-drill and manure-spreader' -- with a few extras thrown in. Bicycle wheels for instance. It is years since anyone around here rode a bicycle but yet, there were the old wheels still hanging from a ~ wooden peg. I 'doubt if they were of any use but as the years go by you get so used to things .. being around you don't even see them. In a different sense that was literally 'true for me, I am still indulging in a trash- burning orgy, also stacking and sorting the things I want to keep. One time I looked around and wondered what on earth I had done with the Christmas tree lights and trimmings. I hunted, and I hunted -- in cupboards and boxes, in this room and that, but I could not find either the lights or the trimmings, So I finally went on with my work. Soon I had another carton of, stuff to burn.. I took it over to the smouldering bonfire and on "the edge of the pile what should I see but one little coloured elec- tric bulb. My worst fears were confirmed. In some unaccount- able way I must have put the tree trimmings on the fire. .I still can't think how it happened. I got a scolding from Partner for worrying about it. But after all, it is one thing to burn useless tuff but who wants to destroy once-a-year trimmings that have certain amount of sentiment with each Christmag that came and passed. There were all the little fig- urines and bavbles that had de- lighted our children when they since that card was written we wag thinking old-age pensioners were small and that promised to > be equally attractive to our: % children's children. However, I; suppose I shoudn't worry--after - all it isn't the youngsters who care, it is just their foolish par- ents and grandpafents. Two days later. The weather' has improved considerably -- no more snow, very little wind and plenty of nice warm sunshine, It would seem 'all's right with the world". That is if one does not look too far afield, politi- | cally, economically and weather- wise. We had a card yesterday from friends vacationing in Flor- ida. They said the weather was cool but they were hoping it would be warmer later on. But have heard rumours of gales, terrific rain and meteors in the Florida region. So we are nat- urally Wondering . . . Also in the news last week was the Fed- eral budget: It will please some and make very little difference to others. We shall benefit about twenty-five cents a month on tea and coffee. That should be a véte-catcher! We had a friend staying overnight the evening the budget was brought down. She lives on a farm a good many miles north of here and she cer- tainly didn't find anything to cheer about. Of course a lot de- pends on how you look at it. I would be quite' pleased but one old lady said to me "I guess it's all right but it's almost too late for me. I won't have long to enjoy it." I suppose her re- marks are understandable. She is a widow, well over 80, her earning capacity gone and yet '80 independent she does every- thing possible to exist on her pension. Somehow she does very well except that every visit from her doctor, and every bottle of. medicine from the drug store is a major financial problem, Per- haps when the Federal-Provin- cial Health Plan comes into being it will make things a little easier for pensioners. I sincerely hope so. But wage-earners have their problems too -- which may ul- timately benefit the farmer. For instance one young boy worked "on a farm for a year and then decided he could make more money - in an industrial plant. Now that same plant is laying oft men and the young. fellow question went to the farm ~where he had previously worked and asked for his job back again. Another instance concerns two brothers. One stayed on the farm, the other quit, thinking he could make $50 a day trucking. He soon found himself in the red and unwillingly admitted that his brother on the farm made more money than he did with his truck. This Water Grows 12-inch Radishes A well-known scientist and traveller is to conduct fur- ther experiments with water from the "Lake of Life," follow- ing the amazing sequel to his bathe recently in an inland waterway. _ The no-longer-young bather spent an hour in the water and emerged 'looking .years younger than when he entered it. His inquiries already have produced these startling facts. * To the extent of nearly thirty per cent, the water is charged with salts having extremely beneficial medicinal properties and it is also highly radioactive.
