Check The Label On Your Paper 5 Or THE W Doris Clark Toronto Telegram Syndicate DEAR DORIS -- Some peo- ple know I feel very hurt when "they tease me. They take ad- vantage of me and tease me all the more. I am even afraid of my little brothers who are 14 and 13, and I am 21. My older brother is taking-a male nursing assistant's course at a mental hospital, and when I get upset he always says that he deals with emotional child- ren just like me. Then he says: "Cry now, baby. Do you want a handkerchief?" Please, do you have any way you can help me to get a sense of humor? And please send 'me your leaflet, "Don't Be Shy." . Crybaby DEAR CRYBABY -- Oh dear. The more you 'cry, the more he'rl tease. Which makes you cry more. Try to get the message that teasing is his own inferior way of feeling superior. Also, talk yourself out of the sensitivity that indicates your own self dotibts, Force yourself to.be calm, blank, diimb and deaf when the boys go at you. I'm promis- ing you they'll subside if you do, DEAR DORIS -- A friend of mine who works with me is always going to the boss about "everything 1 do. Should I tell my boss about this, or should I tell her I am not going to take it from her any more? I need the work and I don't want to leave it. Widow G DEAR WIDOW -- Tell "her first. You may surprise her. Bossy people are inclined to think they know it all until someone shows they are alive and kicking too. You don't have to act angry to sound firm. But be firm. DEAR DORIS -- I would like to know whether, if I send out cards announcing a new arriv- al, this would mean that I'm asking for a gift. ' Expecting DEAR EXPECTING -- No. And it is a delightful custom. Friends are flattered that you want them to share in your joy. If they care to, they'll send a gift; but the announce- ment implies no such expecta- tion. : : DEAR DORIS -- Could you advise me where I could write to find out about miy family tree? Please state the cost -- if you know it -- for the research work. Interested DEAR INTERESTED -- Two places in London, Eng. will trace your ' ancestry, They charge by the hour or the day, © becayse some trees are harder "lo dig up than others. THe Society of Genealogists, 37 Harrington Gardens, Lon- "don S.W. 7, England, charges $3.50 per hour or $26 a day. Brooks and Simpson, Genealo- gists, 59 Wigmore Street, Lon. don W. I. are also in the busi- ness, but I don't have their charges handy. DEAR DORIS -- I don't care to get rich, but I do need security for later years. My husband is mentally sick; he 'tried to kill me twice. My daughter wrote to me and said if her father didn't treat me good she would take me away from him, but I don't want to impose on them if I can help it. A while ago I wrote to you, and you told me how to make money at home. Now tell me what to do with the money I have to invest, $5 at a time. It isn't much but it's a start. "Rainy Day DEAR RAINY DAY -- I once heard of a gal who struck oil when she was digging in her basement to make a root cel lar. Then there was the educa- tionist who started -a school with $9. The race track once in a while pays off at tremendous odds. So does the stock market. For the many thousands who plunge into get-rich schemes, there is a mere handful who don't lose their shirts. Your best $5 investment is in a 'good, solid savings plan recom- mended by your 'bank manager: Ask him about this. Believe your daughter and get her help if you need her.
