Though that was eight months ago and I am still in love, I must escape. Love of itself is not enough for me now, "I realize what I have done. I was not brought up to behave like this, and I am wondering whether it is too late to be good again?

The fact that * your relationship is not sus- pected where you are now will protect you in your home town. You have been circum- spect, and your guilt exists only in your own mind. As to the manner of your going, it would seem wise from every angle to leave a note saying you have gone, Make it brief and firm, and add that he will be kind not to try to find you or even re- ply. You are still in love, but you are no longer blind. Go home, resume your former life there and hold up your head as al- ways. You will find people less curious than you expect; in your absence they have been busy with their own af- fairs, and there is every rea- son to believe you will be wel- comed by all your old friends.

LJ * * BOY MIXED UP "Dear Anne Hirst: I am 17, and came to live with my cousin and his wife because there was always so much trouble at home. My family had eight kids, and I worked hard after school and never had time for-fun. But I don't get along with my cousin or his wife, either. "We are a mean family, and the chip on my shoulder is a size too big. I don't smoke or drink, and I'd be all right if I weren't wanting to raise Cain all the time. - "Can you inherit a bad tem- per? Or should I see a doctor? I'll soon be in the service, and maybe after that I'll be more of 'a real guy. TROUBLE" ¢ I think you've had enough quarreling in your young life, Why don't you make a vow never to listen to a fuss, and never start. one yourself? Quarreling is a habit some- times formed early through hearing others lose their tem- pers. It is an adolescent trait and has no place in a man's make-up. ~ Now that you are physical- ly away from your family and sintend to make something of yourself, do learn self-control. If you can't, you never will make lasting friends; if you do, you'll not only be a regular guy, but will have a rich and wonderful life of your own. Start today! - have your cousin's family doc- for give you a complete physi- cal. 2 2 2 2 8 8 3 2 F PB BNO OL OF O00 FOS * # . In any hour of indecision, ask Anne Hirst"s counsel.

How should the butter knife be placed on the individ-. ual butter plates, horizontally across the top or vertically at the right side? A. There is no set rule about this, but the consensus is that it looks better placed in the same direction as the other silver, MN . 3 $ 4 % ; gs THE HYAC hah b wi' ¥ - Fis He BAY > i INTH SEA -- It would seem this boating enthusiast got carried away and drove his craft into somebody's potato patch, Actually, its Lake Kissimmee in Florida and the driver Is demonstrating the advantages of a new, 60-horsepower out- board as he roars through a virtually solid growth of hyacinth on the waler's surface.

June«The Month Of Weddings June has always been con- sidered a lucky month for wed- dings, and some young couples have been making plans since January this year, Ministers are inundated with requests for June ceremonies and bakers confirm that they have already received many orders for June wedding cakes. The luckiest of all wedding days in the year, according to the superstitious, is on the day of the full moon in June. This year it falls on June 12th, a Wednesday. But a June bride should make sure that no hare and no cat crosses her path while she is on her way to the cere- mony. These were anciently believed to be unhappy omens. The June bride, on the other hand, who happens "to catch sight of a spider or a toad on her wedding day will have an exceptionally happy marriage. A June wedding custom, seldom observed nowadays, was for the bridegroom to place several gold pieces in the bride's hand when the words: "With all my worldly goods I thee endow," were ut- tered. No bride of 1957 would like to wear old shoes on her wedding day, yet it wag once thought that a. June bride who did so would never lose the love of her hus- - band and would be blessed with at least two children. TROPICUTIE -- Marge Nelson, Miss U.S.A. in 1956, now graces the line of showgirls at the Hotel Tropicana, las Vegas, Nev. Along with dancing tal- ent, the line holds more than 50 beauty awards. Jilting Jitters What is the reason for a man jilting his fiancee? It's not al- ways because another girl has come into his life. In some cases it's brought on by engye- sis, a recently discovered nervous complaint. Chief symptoms are anxiety, loss of weight, insomnia, and in- ability to concentrate. "The complaint seems mainly to affect men who regret their engage- ment and develop guilt feelings because they lack the courage to break it off," says Dr. David Davies, who studied fifty vic- tims at the Maudsley Hospital, Camberwell. Thirty-one of these --thirty of them men--had to be treated as in-patients' because they were so seriously affected. The jilting jitters are often set in motion when the wedding day is close at hand and the bridegroom-to-be suddenly re- alizes the irrevocability of his action. Then, says Dr. Davies the man usually tells his fiancée, "You can see how ill I am -- it wouldn't be fair to go on with the marriage." With utter dis- may, he hears the reply: "I love you and will stand by you." Dr. Davies says that at this point the patient's symptoms steadily become. worse. Eleven cases were solved merely by ad- mitting the patients into hospi- tal. The healthy partner broke off the engagement in fe be- lief that the patient was now "mental!" Although engyesis "is com= monest in the twenty to thirty- five age group it can happen at any age, and it can happen to women, too. Yet in some cases, it seems, this complaint can be cured by marriage itself. Of twelve men treated by Dr. Davies who were married in spite of their symp- toms, ten began to improve im- mediately after the wedding. So maybe the best treatment is to marry the girl and hope for the best!

The automatic recorder, which costs about 25 cents to operate, produces an unbreakable platter safe for mailing. JGiNGER FARM endoline P.Clatke The weather, insofar as we are concerned, was made to or- der. So much extra washing; so many people coming and go- ing. One man to take away baled straw; another to pick up hens; still another to load a chicken-pen. It has been a strangely busy time for an Eas- ter week-end. And while the weather has helped considerably it has also made things a little harder in another way. As Partner put it yesterday --. "Leaving the farm doesn't seem --too great a hardship when the weather is cold and miserable but when the sun comes out, warms up the good earth and things start to grow, then it doesn't seem such a good idea". That's the whole thing in a nutshell -- it's the living, grow- . ing things we hate to leave -- the trees we've planted; shrubs and spring flowering bulbs -- and even the rhubarb. However we have permission to take anything out of the garden that we specially value so I suppose we shouldn't complain. Another regret is leaving our neighbours. There never was a better neighbourhood than this. Of course we have got away: from neighbouring in the old way. There isn't as much "changing hands" as there used to be; nor the huge meals to get for threshers and silo-fillings. We .don't need to run to the neighbours now to borrow extra plates or an oversize pot to cook potatoes in. No, that kind of neighbourliness has more or less died out but the neighbourly spirit still survives. Just let trouble come to a family and see how ready the neighbours are to help. Or when someone leaves the community -- as we are do- ing -- then the neighbours are 'If Y've told you once, I've told you ten million times --- don't exaggerate' really surprised. never satisfied until they have found some way of expressing their goodwill. In our case about thirty of them staged a farewell party last Wednesday -- such a nice friendly gathering -- and in - addition our hostess had in- -vited our own family. We were First - along "eame Bob, Joy and Baby Ross -- who: was very much admired! '~About fifteen minutes later in came Dee, Art, David and Ed- ward. During the evening we were presented with a very lovely Spode teaset -- teapot, cream and sugar -- in a good, generous size. So now we are all set to serve tea to old friends but in a new home. And I ex- pect our next column will be written from our new location -- if we survive the ordeal of mov- ing. I am still wondering where we shall 'put all the stuff we are taking. It's a mercy there is a big basement. - In the meantime surveyors_are chasing around here like ants round a hill. Measuring, measur- . ing, always measuring, while one of the party makes entries on a pad. We notice they are putting down cement block markers. When you think of the time spent on this one small section of road it is small wonder that an entire highway takes so long to build. I certainly hope we don't run into, any road-building crews elsewhere. But you never can tell -- not with the network of highways that will presently Jbe under construction. I can quite imagine that in a few years we may drive along this stretch of road, look round in - "Is that where we used to live?" At the moment it isn't notice- ably changed so while it still looks and feels like home we are planning to have one last family meal in this century-old house -- that is on Easter Sunday, Actually, we have little to complain about -- not in com- parison with a little Hungarian + woman who comes in here quite frequently. A week ago she had just picked up a letter at the post-office from her old home in Hungary. But she was terri- fled to open it. "My first letter since 1935, Iam afraid, so ter- ribly afraid of what I shhll read." Today she was here again, Her first words were about the let- ter. "They are gone, my family, All gone, except one brother, he who writes the letter, My mother, sister and other-brothers -- all gone, Last week I cannot work for weeping." The poor little soul -- doesn't it make you ashamed for all the little everyday things we find to fuss about, Some of us may have to move, practically against our will, but at least we can keep in touch with our friends -- by visiting, by letter or by -tele- phone.. And so a change of lo- cation. can hardly be called a major tragedy. And that is for- tunate because, since Christmas, the Clarke connections have been the "Movingest" people ever, There seems to be no end to it. Betty and her family from Niagara Falls have gone to Sud- bury; my sister and nephew are migrating to Peterborough; Dee Musical Seal Was A One-Gal Band Ever heard a seal play the mouth-organ, trumpet and xylo- phone? Rowena Farre's pet, Lora, could do that, after she'd reared her from babyhood on a croft in the wilds of Suther- landshire, © Whenever she struck up on the piano, Lora would wriggle over to it and listen with in- tense joy and concentration, swaying at times to the music. A relative sent Rowana a mouth-organ and book of songs for a birthday present, so she decided to practise singing, Im- mediately she started 'off on "Men of Harlech," she heard a loud groan beside her -- from Lora, who prqQceeded to roar and hiss as she continued with her singing. This gave Rowena the idea of letting Lora, sing on her own, to her accompaniment, and dur- ing the practice sessions which followed Lora made great efforts to follow the simple tune, Miss Farre says in a charming account of her life at the croft, ."Seal Morning", Within a week she was able to get through "Baa-baa Black Sheep" and "Danny Boy." and her family are moving to Indian Road -- just a block away from High Park. 'Babe, as you may remember, went to Elliott Lake early in the year -- where "Chuck has been one of the vic- time of the infectious outbreak of jaundice and was in bed two weeks. Blind River must be quite a place. They are having to build another jail to accom- modate the law-breakers. This is too ridiculous. I just looked at the thermometer and it's 80 in shade -- and 90 in the sun! Then Lora pestered Rowena for the mouth-organ until she eventually place it in her mouth. Annoyed that it emitted no sound, Lora began tossing § into the air and catching it like a ball, then rolling on it, Then, taking it into her mouth again, she gave a loud sigh of despera- tion. This produced a blast of noise, galvanizing her to fresh efforts. Rowena-set off for a w and when she returned in a an hour, found that Lora hadj- learnt the blow-suck method and was almost completely ex hausted, having apparently beea practising continuously. A young friend of Rowena's- gave Lora a toy trumpet, oa which she soon learnt to blow ear-splitting blasts. Anothes friend sent her a small xylo- phone, and she would hold the beater in her teeth and bang any note to which Rowena pointed. : Lora now became so musical that whenever Rowena played the piano she would at once lift her head and wail fortissime. She learnt to play the national anthem on the xylophone, "Danny Boy" on the trumpet, and loved showing off to visit- ors. Modern Etiquette by Roberta Lee Q. If a wedding must be post- poned, must the same people be invited again? A. Usually, yes. However, if something serious has caused the postponement, such as a death in the family or severe financial reverses, and the weds" ding is to be greatly simplifi then -the list of guests wo have to be cut down.
