Mothers can- not expect - marriage miracles when they don't even teach their daughters how to live on an allowance; money doesn't grow on trees, and a bride should know how little a dol- lar buys nowadays. Many young husbands, fresh from their mothers' well -run homes, get the shock of their lives when they witness the disorder they come home to! ) . depends "A good marriage largely on the ability of both to give and take -- but how many girls are brought up with no consideration for the rest of the family, just demanding and getting 'their own way?

To fling her into marriage unprepared is a eruel gesture, one whose @onsequences have disillusioned many a hopeful bridegroom. She owes him at least a knowledge of house-. hold routine, making today's dollar stretch twice as far as her mother's did, the appetiz- ing preparation of good foods; the myriad details of com- fortable living should be at her fingertips, as 'they can be only 'when she has learned and practiced them. Surely the bride can wear no more be- coming wedding wreath than a thorough preparation for that most essential of all crowning glories," the ability to create a well-run home for the man she professes to cher- ish. : MOUSE OR MAN? "Dear Anne Hirst: The man I am in love with is 13 years older; I am 17. My family think he is too old for me, so he won't come to the house. I don't agree, I think he should, so they really can come to know him. I've been meeting him outside because he says that is the only way out. . E "I have thought of leaving home next year, when I'll be of age. I'm certainly old enough to know what 1 want, and I want him. il MARIE" It is the man who is wrong,' not you. He should welcome the chance to visit your par- ents and talk things out. If they like him, he might con- vince them that, being older, he understands you and can make you happy. You will probably wish to get their ul- timate consent, but this ap- proach is thg first door to open for it. : : A girl of your age who con- siders leaving home is not ma- ture enough to choose her life mate. She lacks the necessary' judgment, and she hasn't the stability to face disappoint- ment. Relax. Ask your mother and father to welcome this man, and tell him if he does not seize this opportunity, you will have nothing to .do with him. That should reveal his integ- "rity or the lack of it. . » - Next to an unselfish love, the. finest dowery a girl can bring to her groom is a knowledge of homemaking and pride in her job. knowing that a husband who is comfortable and appreciated at home seldom seeks happiness elsewhere.

Saturday night I had a very restless night. couldn't sleep but because every time I got to'sleep I was awak- ened again by a strange noise, In fact the noise was of two lypes -- one a steady sort of purr, which I didn't mind, the "other was intermittent and re- sembled the operation of a buzz-saw. That I couldn't take, It would stop and then start, Stop and start again. The in- tervals between were irregular. When all was quiet I wondered how long it would be before it would start again, and when the sawing was in progress 1 listened for it to stop. One way was as bad as the other. Some- times during an extended quiet spell I-dropped off to sleep but _ only to be awakened again. Now I give you three guesses. Radio or television left on? No, it "wasn't that. Wind rattling the shutters? Wrong again. Partner snoring? Oh no, he couldn't be that bad! Then- what- was it? Nothing more or less than a small electric bedroom clock! little clock, not more than six inches square. You wouldn't think anything so small could make such a noise. Until a few days ago it was as quiet and well-behaved as a clock could be. Then it began. - a purring sound which wasn't too distracting, Finally this aw-" ful rasping noise. I listened un- til it nearly drove me Jersey I would have pulled out the plug immediately 'except that it was ina' socket under. Partner's bed, into which was also plugged the radio and a bed-lamp. But at long last it had to be done, 1 got up crawled under Partner's bed and was in the process of untangling the cords - when Partner woke up -- at least he partially woke up. "Anything wrong?" . he inquired sleepily. Anything wrong! As if 1 were accustomed: to crawling -under beds in the middle of the night. "No, nothing at all," I an- swered sweetly. "Just go back to sleep, there's nothing to wor- 1 yanked out the plug, somewhat viciously. I'm afraid. Peace and quietness at last. And then I slept until day- break. : With the dawn we found the ground covered with snow. and big, {fluffy white snowflakes still drifting down, partially covering the rain-soaked fields and decorating the shrubs and trees. We were so disappoint- ed because Bob and Joy were coming to take us to visit friends away up in the Shel- burne district, Seeing the snow we at first gave up the idea. After all, if it was snowing here we didn't know what we ~ might run into up in the snow- belt, And then the sun. came out and we changed our minds. By noon we were on our way. The farther north we got the more snow we found, Some roads were slushy but with solid snowbanks on either side. But the snowplows soon had the highways in good condition. The well-wooded, snow-capped hills were very lovely, Down in the swamps were the greenest cedar trees we had seen for a long while, different from the brow- nish trees we get around here. The friends we were visiting live on a snow-filled side road: I wouldn't have tackled that road for anything but Bob fook" it all in his stride and by care- ful driving, and backing up here and there, got us through with hardly any trouble at all, --|-- . We saw another car, left a little . piece in from the highway, and we knew its occupants were heading for the same place as we were, and visiting the same people, but had decided against running the risk of getting " stuck. tas, : As far as scenery was con- cerned we were in a lovely di- strict.

As we grow older easy living seems to be of primary impor- tance, Country living, yes -- but with conveniences and away from congested areas. The perfect set-up but hard to find. We passed many lovely places-, ranch houses set among trees; summer cottages beside a rippling stream; rambling old farm houses that probably take a- fortune to heat; good roads and poor roads; television aeri- als few and far between. A few semi-indutrialized areas and, on Sunday, not much traffic. 1 began to wonder . . , could there possibly be a more diversified province than Ontario? Inside of a fifty-mile radius one can pass from primitive living con- ditions - to suburbia. We were away only six hours, including our visit, and in that time we say living * conditions all the way from good, poor and indif- ferent, r ©.

And now it is Monday again. The sun is shining, spring flow- ers are peeking through the ground, and along the south side of the house rosy rhubarb' crowns show that the miracle of spring has begun, even though it will be a little while vet before tractors are seen in the fields. oe Calling All Hams!"
