MOTHER IS RIGHT "Dear Anne Hirst: I am 15, and am in love with a boy whom I‘ve been going with for eight months. I have found out now that he has a bad reputation and comes from a questionable famiâ€" ly, so Mother wants me to break up with him soon. "I met another boy some time ago, a nice one whose people are respected. He‘s in the Navy now and will return in Septemâ€" ber; Mother wants me to go out with him then and drop the one I care for. What should I do? In planning your living arâ€" rangements, provide a pleasant room for her, furnishing it like a sittingâ€"room with her books and radio. When you are settled, encourage her friends to drop in often, and otherwise see that she finds other interests than herself. After a while, you may find a private family living nearby who can give her the little care she needs; many people are glad to add to their inâ€" come this way. Neither of these suggestions is ideal, of course, yet how else can you marry at all? Your fiance wants a home of his own, and he does not want to move into your mother‘s house. Go along with the idea and take it for granted that things will work out well. If each of you will be a little more thoughtful and charitâ€" able, you will probably find that the trouble you anticiâ€" pate will not develop. I go even further than your mother. Break up with this boy at once, making any exâ€" cuse you please. At 15, you evidently do not realize how vital to your social life is your good name; if you keep on dating this young man you cannot help but share nis reputation, and _ that might take a long, long time to live down. After you send him away, date any boy your family approves. If you let your feeling for your present beau overcome your judgment, how do you know the Navy lad will want to date you when he comes home next= month?

But if her husband deâ€" sires something different, each suggestion is written on a sepâ€" arate slip of paper. On the twelfth day after the birth, two lamps are placed over On the twelfth day after the birth, two lamps are placed over the two names. Ands the flame which burns more brilliantly deâ€" notes which "label" the child shall bear. In Egypt, three pieces of paper resting under three wax candles ate used in a similar ceremony. But, in this case, one of the three names under consideration is alâ€" ways that of a god or martyr And the candle which lasts the longest bestows a name on the little one. Mohammedans have for cenâ€" turies employed an even more unusual system, which prevents any possibility of argument. The five most favoured name suggestions, inscribed on separâ€" ate squares of paper, are placed between the pages of the Koran, the sacred .book of the Mohamâ€" medans. Then after an interval a priest is invited to bless the book, exâ€" tract the final choice and reveal it to relatives assembled round the child. More curious still is a custom observed by the Ainos, inhabiâ€" tants of Northern Japan, who do not name a child until he or she is five years old. When at last the auspicious day has dawned and the father gravely announces his decision, he also explains that he needed time to ponder over the problem! In some Japanese regions a baby‘s name is changed four times. with irregular periods in tervening. This wily plan is adopted to confuse evil spirits who may be plotting to harm the youngster. In German rural districts, too. parents are perpetually on guard against adverse influences. and they. always pick a fresh nams for an infant who is stricken with serious illness It is generally believed that the new choice will bring better health to the unfortunate mite. European gipsies declare that a baby should never be named afâ€" ter a dead brother or sister. Acâ€" cording to ancient Romany lore. parents who are foolish enough to do so are inviting bad luck. The Chinese have the oddest notions of all when selecting a name for junior. This extraordinary viewpoint is explained by the fact that baby girls are regarded as infeâ€" rier to bovs Therefore. they are not _ considered â€" worthy. of . a nroper name. but are simplvcre ferred to One.

And. of course, such courtesy deserves sincere appreciation, Homemakers who have won the baitle of bathtub rings and streaky dishes know the value of detergents. But these man. made cleaning agents have other uses besides speetling up houseâ€" hold chores. In industry, detergents have a hand in the making of all sorts of things. They go into lubricatâ€" ing oils, printing inks and emâ€" balming fluids and serve just as ably as they do in the family (wash. Detergents Aren‘t So Very New Perhaps you‘re used to washâ€"! ing your hair with detergentâ€"| containing shampoos, but did you know that the dress you\ wear owes somcthing to deterâ€"| gonts besides its clean, fresh look? j It was, in fact, the textile inâ€" dustry that first developed deâ€" tergents many years ago. Up to that time soap had been used to wash raw fibres, but its chemical disadvantages prompted scienâ€" tists to look for a better cleaning agent. And after many years of research detergents were born. Despite the great discovery of the textile industry, it was a long time before "detergents" became a household word. The natural oils that produced them were much too costly for the average homemaker. During the 1930‘s the booming petroleum industry partly solved this probâ€" lem by providing ingredients for better and cheaper detergents However, it wasn‘t until World ar II that the housewife was ally affected by all this reâ€" h. Then, the critical short. age of soap, was the mother of invention. To stretch the supâ€" ply, science developed what it called extenders. These inâ€" creased the power of detergents and at the same time lowered the cost so that every housewife cou‘d afford them. Back in 1940 only a few thousand pounds of detergents were used in Canada, By 1946 they had taken on a variety of forms and 20 million pounds of flakes. pastes and liquids found their way into dishâ€"pans. wash ing machines and industry. Research has proved this last statement true, but although Marie was born on May 1st, 1855 (thus the centenary of her birth fell this year), Mackay couldn‘t marry her mother â€" an Englishwoman named Mills â€" until 18@1, after his first wife died. From a letter found after Marie Corelli‘s death it is clear she did not know the truth about her birth until 1889, when the decease of her father revealed the facts to her. But she managed to keep the secret for the rest of her life, putting busybodies off the scent not only by declaring she was an adopted child, but by deductâ€" ing ten years from her age to make the story more convincing. Her Books Sold By Tens Of Millions _ While, yet in her teens Marie started to write, but she could not find a publisher. One editor even declared that fictionâ€"writ. ing was obviously "not her forte." How furious he must have felt a few years later when the novels of Marie Corelli burst upon a startled world. Like a dazzling meteor this unknown writer sent her works soaring into the blaze of publicity and became the famous author whose sensational books were the talk of the world. Queens, princes, prime minis ters and bishops, alUl were treâ€" mendously impressed by the thirtyâ€"one novels she wrote. Their subjectâ€"matter ranged from disembodied souls to abâ€" sinthe addicts in the Parisian underworld, and her imagination was so powerful that everything she touched was charged with rich emotion. « Is it any wonder her world sales could be reckoned in tens of millions, and her earnings £10,000 for each book? But behind this ntonishlng" success story lay years of grindâ€"| ing slavery for the sake of two | worthlesg men. One was Marie‘s? philandering father, Doctor Macâ€" | kay; and the other his rascally son Eric. | As soon as these jackals realâ€" ized what a moneyâ€"spinner they had in the young Marie they allowed her to support them in idleness for the rest of their days Eric was a particularly nasty specimen; fat, flabby and lazy, he had been a sponger all his life. Blind to his vices, his stepâ€" sister financed his shady affairs. and permitted him to escort her to the various social functions she attended. On these occasions Eric disâ€" played such devotion towards her that tongues began to wag It was whispered they .were lovers and even secretly marâ€" ried. When, later, Eric showed his true colours by boasting that it was really he who had written all Marie‘s books, she did at last turn against him. Among Marie‘s many admirers were the Prince of Wales (after. wards Edward VID and Mr ASCANIA SCYTHIA QUEEN MARY IVERNIA MAURETANIA FRANCONIA QUEEN ELIZABETH SAXONIA PARTHIA CARONIA SAMARIA QUEEN MARY BRITANNIC ASCANIA CUNARD to EuroPrr See your local agentâ€" vEL rIrRST glaAss) \ No one can serve you better 1RA _ _ aafiars m9"® P oo ie TO BRITISH PORTS: First Class from $200 Tourist Class from $140 VESSEL @nly ® tew UE the extr® toxury Corner Boy & Wellington Streets, Toronte, Ont. â€" Tel.

He gave a dinner party in her honour at which he commented upon the smallness of her hands "Out of small things what wonders arise!" he exclaimed admiringly. This was followed by a lunchâ€" eon in which Marie was introâ€" duced to "my son, George, who is well acquainted with your When, eventually, the deaths of the two Mackays relieved her of much responsibility Marie moved to Stratfordâ€"onâ€"Avon. Here she became so great a legâ€" end that, more people went to stare at her house( with its casâ€" cading windowâ€"boxes, than to Shakespeare‘s birthplace. Coloured postcards of her were on sale in all the shops, and one tourist was overheard to boast that she had seem "Shakespeare‘s daughter"! But Marie was no heroine to the townsfolk. She threw her weight about too much and was not above telling the shopkeepâ€" ers how to arramge their goods. She drove around in a tiny carâ€" riage drawn by Shetland ponies, with a footman perched up beâ€" hind, and even bought a gondola to glide upon the Avon with a gondolier specially im por ted from Venice. To hit the headlines was ever Marie‘s aim, and she went to great lengths to keep her name before the public, "Nothing sucâ€" ceeds like excess" was her motto and she kept inventing more fables to keep the interest frem flagging. She refused to be photoâ€" graphed, and all likenesses of her had to be faked. She announced that she belonged to a secret reâ€" ligious sect not allowed to worâ€" ship in church and that she could speak Hebrew fluently. There was no truth in either statement. But so well did her selfâ€"adverâ€" tising work that if she visited the Memorial Theatre the audiâ€" ence rose to its feet as though she were the Queen; and when the poetess, Ella Wheeler Wilcox, called upon her, she knelt to kiss Marie‘s hand while her male esâ€" cort stood behindl her with bowed head. Little wonder:the novelist was not amused when the following limerick was circulated: "There was a fair Siren of Strat.
