The problem is as old as the history of women in business and my mail ie boss regularly presents its proportion of complaints. Sometimes it is the girls' own fault. They re- gard the busin- ess world. as a "rich hunting ground for men and deliberately errcourage their attentions. When the conse- quences are unfortunate, it is their own fault. Most girls, however, are the un- willing victims of man's predatory instincts. Read "these lines from one voung woman who is frighten- ed by the persistent a customer. "I work in a small chop, Anne Hir:t," she writes, "and sometimes I'm left alone there. Then what happens, a certain customer (one of our best, a bachelor three times my age) comes in and makes lewd implications. I'd" like to tell him off, but I'd be reprimanded harshly and probably fired. i "His suggestions are unprint- able. 1 always: ignore his pleas, of course; I abhor him. He will not take no for an answer. He is a customer, after all, be rude or hostile. Besides, he is a large man and robust, and I am physically afraid. "I don't-understand how he got the wrong impression of me. I am an introvert. I do not respond glib- ly to people, and I certainly never encouraged pery:nal conversation. 1 do not dress ostentatiou:ly, either. "How can I get rid of. him? I --am_ frightened and frantic."

A decent girl who must carn her living is at his mercy. Her only protection is to get out--and fast. To "Very Worried and For- lorn": You may decide to find another job first, then tell your employer why. (You know him, you must use your judgment.)

RETURN The two most famous residents of Montreal's towering Sun Life build- ing are a pair of peregrine falcons who for years now have been living rent-free on the high Sun Life ledges, rather than in rocky moun- tainous crags. - Noted as fierce fighters, they re- putedly reach 200 m.p.h.- when power ~ diving after their luckless ~--prey, the falcons find the pigeons "which~ abound in the down-town area of Montreal easy pickings.

Recently, however, the office - people have seen them about--their appearance generally punctuated by a dull thud and the sight of a few "pigeon feathers floating slowing to' the ground.

As a result, two mothers have "swopped" sons. The - astonishing story began when a Swiss and his wife were. proudly watching their six-year-old twins, Victor and Pierre, marching 'hand in hand in a- procession' of Swiss childrew. They suddenly no- tied that a boy named Eric whe was walking a short distance behind "the twins was _extraordinarily like Victor. But it was when_ Eric that. they began to think seriously about the resemblance for Eric had a wide_gap between his lower front tecth--and so "had Victor. Then they discovered that Eric had been born on the same night and in the same maternity home as their own sons.. The terrible thought flashed through their minds: "Is Pierre somebody else's child who was ac- cidentally substituted for Eric by the nurses?" When they showed Victor to Eric's mother, a widow, she began to worry also. Authorities and experts' got busy. = The fingerprints, . colours, eye hair characters and teeth arrange- ments of the threc. boys were care- fully recorded, and results sup- ported the belief that Victor and Eric were the real .twins, Blood Things Folks Wished They Hadn't Said Have you cver dropped a hefty brick and wished that tle floor would suddenly open and swallow you? = Like _the lady who said to her partner at.a banquét: "Look at that man sitting opposite.

One Sunday, as a certain minister was retufning "homeward, he" was stopped by one of his churchgoers, who said: "You know, I always look forward to the. day 'when you preach." + 3 The minister was aware that he was not very popular and answer~ ed: "I'm so glad to hear it.
