I love him, Anne Hirst -- but does he love me? © "EVELYN". * When will you girls learn to make the rules yourselves? Why allow any boy to dictate to you? This domineering to tell you WHEN he'll see you; he demands you give up all other boys, and stay at home alone unless he con- descends to come 6ver, . .. And then he adds that it is for your own good! So you, being in love, play the role of door mat. For what? You have never heard him speak of love, You haven't even his class ring to show to the girls who question you. And how do you know he is not seeing somebody else on the side? All he wants is to be sure you are HIS-girl, yet you have no assurance he won't change his mind overnight and leave you flat. - What you want (and it is little enough), is to be sure that HE belongs surely as you belong to him, I do not think you can be cer- tain of that," so long as you crawl to his: commands and submit. - to his * overwhelming egotism. The only kind -of a girl he Will. take seriously at this "stage is one who respects herself, who' will not submit to being treated like a moronic child. I suggest that you date any nice! boy-you-like, -if only to show . him that other males desire you, too. He needs to be taught he cannot command a nice girl as though she belonged to him unless he gives her the 'same loyalty he demands. » vv - * -No matter . how deep your love, you could not be happily married to him as he is today. To keep your love, he will have to deserve it. This counsel you will --not relish, but it you ever hope to- win him, this is the one way you may succeed. If you fail, you can remind "yourself he wasn't worth having. : * - + ~ *A CONFUSED GIRL "Dear Anne Hirst: I am a very confused girl: just past my 16th birthday.

Twa British soldiers, on holi- day in _ Sweden, -ywent into a church to join in the service. Not understanding Swedish, they took their cues from the man sitting in front of them. They did pre- cisely what he did. At one point, the minister made a special announcement and the man arose. The Britons also quickly jumped to their feet, and a ripple of laughter spread through the. congregation. three men were the only standing. : After the service, the soldiers made their *way to the minister and asked why the people had laughéd. "Because," he said in uncertain English, "I announced a baptism. and asked the father to stand up."

I generally have supper ready and waiting. The kitchen door opens and through it, in . this order, come the following: Honey, 'our blonde cocker span- iel. Partner, with the day's sup- ply of eggs. Mitchie-White, _ house-cat, tall in the air, Black Joe, barnyard cat -- except at meal-times, tail drooping. And bringing--up the rear in an .or- derly, 'leisurely fashion, Tippy, our ten-year-old collle. Honey tears around from cat-dish to dog-dish hoping to find a crumb of something somewhere, or perhaps 8 wee drop of milk in one of the cats" dishes. Finding 'there isn't she sits as close to the stove as she can get, nose almost touching it. Tippy flops , down under the kitchen table. Mitchie-White and Black Joe are soon engaged in a wrestling match. Partner looks at me with a grin and says -- "Well, I guess we are all here -- is supper ready?" During supper peace. reigns ¢ supreme, But after supper | . . Partner goes out to milk. I start to clear the table -- fall over one cat while the other walks around my feet. Honey rushes anxiously back and: forth. Tippy - comes under the table and the wag of her bushy tall creates as much draught as an electric fan I open the kitchen door. Honey goes out to the woodshed, | bringing back her tin supper- dish in her mouth. - She drops _ that, time returns with Tippy's dish." I mix up the dogs' feed and take it out to the woodshed. For the cats there is bread and: milk | and scraps, in a big flat * soup; plate so that both may eat at once. Now, at last, there is peace in the family. Perhaps, for half- * an hour or go 1 might even get a little typing 'done. Unless the telephone rings a few times or some of our family drops in for a late meal. But I don't think that will happen tonight. Bob. and Joy phoned in great glee this morning -- their first call after having 'a telephone installed, "So now," said Joy, 'we are in contact with the outside world." I think I must give them an egg-timer to warn them when their three minutes is up. For that three minutes] goes faster than any three min- ~utes 1 ever knew: Faster than three minutes by the egg timer, That I know because 1 checked: ny egg timer by our electric, clock.

AN. war two Airforce officers were returning to their base after a raid over Germany. One moter 'wae dead. The other had been hit and gave out just as they" crossed the coast. Another three minutes flying time would have saved their lives. Saturday nighit there was a hockey game between the Leafs and Boston. Three minutes left for the Leafs to even the score. But three =minutes wasn't Last Tuesday I was in Toronto. Just before train-time I was talking to Dee from Art's office on Wellington Street. "What time did you say your train was due out?" Art, interrupted. "Five-forty." "You'll never make . it-- it 1s 6.30 now." "Oh no" I argued, "your clock is three minutes fast," I made it -- with two utes to" spare.
