E, "Dear Anne Hirst: For some time now you have been printing more lefters than usual from girls who are dating married men. They al) seem to be caught ‘in the same web, and ‘can‘t give "hilm up.‘ Perhaps the experience FU a friend of mine will show ‘"them what they can expect.

Her own little girl (now 13) sees her father often and adores him and his wife. "My friend is heartbroken, and looks ten years older. ‘"Maybe some of your readers who are dating married men will see in this instance one more proof that a married man who will cheat one wife will cheat another. * . As you aptly put it, a man * who cannot be true to one * wife will not be true to anâ€" * other. _ Your friend learned * this through bitter experience. * Now, in her loneliness, how * she must be suffering! It is a foolish girl indeed who will waste her time (and her good name) on a married man. His attentions are no compliâ€" ment to her . . . If young readers are being tempted, let them write to Anne Hirst for advice. Address her at Box 1, 123 Eightâ€" eenth Street, New Toronto, Ont. THIS‘LL "JAR" YOU â€" Prettiest flower ever to blossom from this ancient Sicilian urn is Aurora de Alba, Spanishâ€"born actress who lives in Taormina, Sicily. Not quite fitting the urn, the "flow. er" had to remove some of her "petals" to pose for this picture. During the past twentyâ€"odd years, two generations of readers have followed this column. It is not possible to tell how many such situations my counsel has dealt with, yet the same old sins keep reâ€" curring: The girls of today, notwithstanding honest warnâ€" ings, follow theitg hearts and will not listen. "We are different is their cry. "We really were meant for each other. ~I can‘t be happy except when I am with him. And & he doesn‘t love his wife any more, why should he stay with her?" They choose not to rememâ€" ber that he vowed to cling to that wife until death parted them; they refuse to see him as a dishonorable creature who pursues a single girl with no concern for her good name; they fall for the old line of a wife who does not understand â€"and how proud they are that THEY do! To the wife whose man they steal they give not a _ thought, nor _ (perhaps worse) to the children they rob of a father. se l Bystander." World‘s Craziest Restaurant! At Shepperton, in Middlesex, is the world‘s craziest restaurant. Its name, as the sign outside says, is THE HOVEL. _ Dinner there is like spending an evening with the Marx Broth: ers in the Chamber of Horrors, a fun fair, a taxidermist‘s shop, the Zoo and the Natural History Museum thrown in for good measure. The Hovel is one of the faâ€" vourite dinner spots of celebriâ€" ties in show business from all over the world. They drive out from London and drop in from the studios at Shepperton when they are filming there. One night recently an American acâ€" tor left The Hovel and commentâ€" ed on the doorstep, "Say, I‘ve got a head! That sure was the craziest joint I‘ve ever been in." WINTER WONDERLAND IN THE MILLINERY DEPARTMENTâ€"Juliet cap of ermine with jewelled flare at side of face, left, is complemented by the matching ermine muff, Ambrose designed the ensemble. "Snowbank," at right, of white fox set off with jewelled flower on a satin stem Unbeknown to him, a microâ€" phone picked up his words and sent them over a public address system inside the restaurant. And at once from over the doorâ€" way came the voice of the ownâ€" er of the restaurant, Tom Leonâ€" ard, urging the actor to take sleeping tablets and an indigesâ€" tion powder. On another occasion Tom Leonâ€" ard (he likes to be called Len) hastened a celebrity‘s departure with, ‘"The food is not half as bad as the customers." . That is really saying someâ€" thing, because Len loudly proâ€" claims in a sign that greet you as you enter that "The Hovel is undoubtedly the best place in the world for the worst food." ‘‘The best place for the worst food. You know it," says Len. "People don‘t come here anyâ€" way for the fo6d. They come to look at this nonsense." And he waves his arms and points at a 'skeleton. "My first customer," he says. Len has his own famous cofâ€" fee. "Nettor" he calls it. You just spell it backwards, He‘s got a fat complaints book; nothing pleases him more than if you add a lurid comment on his "Net: tor." During winter, Len serves free soup. There‘s a large caulâ€" dron of it and a sign which urgâ€" es you to help yourself because . .. "It‘s so bad, It‘s unsaleable."‘ _ Len has a piece of Italian cheese which belonged to the Italian patriot Garibaldi â€" that means the cheese is almost 100 years old. Though it is about as tender as reinforced concrete, it can be hacked off if you are persistent enough, and eaten, if you are game. There is also a bottle of liquid cheese sixteen years old. Len will supply gas masks for connoisseurs of old cheese. There is some rum so old it is in its second childhood. Len says it is undrinkable. Tom Leonard opened The Hovel seventeen years ago, afâ€" ter he had left the Norwegian merchant navy. He had a sense of fun and soon found that it was good for business, He had collected curios and he now set these out, including a lion skin seven feet long which he nailed across the ceiling. In the attic he found twenty skulls and has been constantly adding to his macabre collection. You will see them while you are drinking at the bar. You will come across them in the darkest corners. He also has a necklace of human teeth. Your nerves have got to be good at Len‘s. "All the stars come here, but very few comie a second time," says Len. "You can quite underâ€" stand it when I tell you I offerâ€" ed Jean Simmons a menu card I had got in Hong Kong. It had seventyâ€"eight dishes a la carte. While she was studying that, I prepared what I always serve to celebrities, ‘This is what I call a ‘Continental‘ or mixed grill. I pile a bit of everything I have in the place on a plate. I took this to Jean Simmons with a large cottage loaf, and holding out a big Spanish onion on the end of a knife. I put the onion into her hand. She got a surprise, but that is my method." Slim, fortyish, Len does his best to be honest. "Of course, it makes money. If it didn‘t I would strip down all this muck and serve good Len‘s wife Gladys does the cooking with some help from fAveâ€"year‘old Tina Anne. Clebrities have included Ginâ€" ger Rogers (who took photoâ€" graphs back to the United States), Danny Kaye, Dana An tops a muff and stole of matching fur. drews, Richard Widmark, Alâ€" lida Valli, the Italian star of the "Third Man," Gene Tierney, Sam Winters, Audrey Hurst, Freddie Mills, Bos Murphy, the New Zealand boxer, Dave Mc Cleave, former British welterâ€" weight champion. The full list reads like an entertainment world "Who‘s Who." "Dana Andrews, now," says Len. "He likes to sit in a corner with a 7 lb. jar of pickled on: ions, He likes to be unnoticed and got annoyed one night when someone recognized him and asked for an autograph." Sometimes Len prepares an elaborate menu with thirty main dishes. You can save your time deciding between them. Whatâ€" ever you ask for, Len will bring you eggs and chips. The house is 430 years old and was once a flourishing centre for the sale of cured hams. These days you would think, from the pink and blue walls, that it was occupled by a very fastidious spinster, or used as a creche â€" until you see the black spider‘s web lurching against the wall and the wee pole painted blue, with a sign which says it is for the use of dachshunds .. . > But when you have pulled hard on your stomach muscles, and squeezed through the Zâ€" shaped doorway (if your avoirâ€" dupois will let you), the surprisâ€" es really start and they just keep coming. After the skulls there is what Len calls the cob. web room â€" which comes from the threeâ€"fotâ€"high spider‘s wet in it In this room an innocent wal nut tree has had a table built around it, and a stuffed owl and a stuffed alligator adorn its branches. They look so lifelike you expect one of them to take the food out of your hand â€" or worse. The stump of a hand ac tually hangs (and sometimes waves) from the mouth of a lion‘s head to which Len has addâ€" ‘ed, as a means of pepping up nature, a pair of bullock‘s horns. When you recover, you will find there is a skeleton in a cupâ€" board â€" under the floor. If you lean over to get a better look a motor car horn will go off in your ear, and when you have stepped away, rather startled, a gust of wind sweeps up from the floor, with results that are in the best funâ€"fair tradition. There is a clock which catches your eye and you wonder what is wrong until you realize that it is going backwards. "People like it that way when they get used to it," says Len. All the stools on which the customers eat have pictures pastâ€" ed on the base of them. There is many a good laugh there. Len admits that he does not approve of the modern jukeâ€"box, so The Hovel version is a contraption which will play seventy records nonâ€"stop. On the subject of nois: es, Len has collected on his travâ€" els an alarm clock from Japan which plays Auld Lang Syne for twentyâ€"five minutes. His sense of fun is infinite. He papered one of his walls with petâ€" rol coupons and another with clothes coupons. In more than 2,000 other odd spots, there are offerings from friends who have had fun at Len‘s. They are in the form of playbills, picture postâ€" cards, posters and paper money from the South Sea Islands. Always keen to add to his od: dities, Len offered $2,500 for the Skylon . . . had to be content with a bit of the steelwork. And he tried to buy the ‘Evening "Standard" helicopter when it offered for sale. Your orders are taken, in the abserice of a printed menu, elecâ€" trically. When Len presses a button, a choice of five meals apâ€" pears in light on a wall panel. You choose and he announces to his wife, in the kitchen, your needs through a microphone. She is where he thinks she ought to be ‘â€" and there is no laugh in that. If you were to ask for bread, the chances are she would appear with a huge loaf, hot from the oven, with an outsize slab of butter alongside. Even the family pets are part of the Leonard tradition. His poodle wears ruby earâ€"rings and his pitchâ€"black cat hobâ€"nobs with the parrot in his cage. _ "Bet you haven‘t been in a lousier joint than this!" declares Look out for a surprise as you go out into the night. Jack Dubois was in a tavern in the Texas cow country when a sweet young thing advanced toward the weighting machine. Before stepping on the scales she tossed a challenge Jack‘s way. "How much do you think I weigh?" Although she was medium of build he guessed 116 pounds. Then she turned to an older man and asked him. He said, "Recken about 131 pounds." She weighed 132. Jack asked the old fellow, "How did you come so close?" "Shucks, Jack," he said, "I‘ve bought and sold a lot of cattle in my day. And I allus judge ‘em by the hind quarters first." If you‘re driving your car through Texas (and your wife isn‘t with you, of course) look for a place called Comfort. It‘s a town just an hour‘s ride from San Antonio. On either side of this town are two villages namâ€" ed Alice and Louise,. Outside an auto camp is this inviting plea. "Why not sleep in com fort between Alice and Louise?"
