EE "Dear Anne Hirst; Tonight 1 iit alone suffering the torture of 1 man who loves and was loved, ind 'who lost the grandest girl in the world because of his ienseless jealousy. I was so mad about her that I couldn't bear to share her even with girl friends, and so stupid that I did not see how unjust I was. My last offense was when she dated an old beau; I lost my {em- per and stormed like crazy. She just looked at me and said she yas through. I find she means t. "Why I didn't realize that one so talented was bound to attract lots of friends, I don't know. Why I thought I wag such a prize that I deserved all her time is a mystery. But since I've lost her, I realize how selfish I was; if she'd only take me back, I'd never object to anybody, just be grateful for what time she gave me. "We were engaged, as you've guessed. I know she loved me deeply, and I can't believe that is all dead. Now Aife looks so bleak, I don't know how to face it. She will neither see me nor answer my calls, and she re- turns my letters. I cannot .go on like this. Have you any comfort for a stricken fool? ALONE" DOMINANT MALE ® Like so many men, you Lovely Centrepiece 581 By LAURA WHEELER Elegant centerpiece for your dining table!

EE EE EE EE EE EE a EE EE EE EE EE EE EE EE EE rarer ar ara thought your love gave you the right to run the girl's life, You demanded all her thoughts and all her talents; you had to reign supreme, denying her any other self - expression. Well, this young woman had character © and individuality, and she refused to be domin- ated. 1 am surprised she put up with your tryanny as long "as she. did. From what you tell me, I have no doubt that she loves you still, and it is likely she is chastising you as a fond mother punishes a child for being too self-centred. Assume this is true, and make one more gesture for the friend- ship you enjoyed for two years was founded on respect and faith as well as love, and the difficulties you speak of only deepened your mutual esteem. A young woman of her char- acter is not likely to hold out forever, if she feels any hope that you can outgrow this adolescence. Write her once again. Tell her that these weeks apart have brought a new appreci- ation of all she means to you. With a new humility, acknow- ledge your selfishness and say that you know now that -your only goal in life is to see that she is happy in her own way. All you ask is that she take you back on trial. Such a ples itten in ~your own words, ¥Ymay well touch the heart of a girl who probably is as lonely as you are, * * * DRINKING COSTS JOB "Dear Anne Hirst: I am in a bad spot, and ashamed of it. I am.a girl 24 years old, and have keld a good position for three years. Recently I lost it through drinking. I would like to be reinstated, but my employer says he cannot depend on me, so I really am discouraged. "I can only blame myself. The fact that I am married to a man I ceased to love over a year ago is no excuse. I do feel that it I could have another chance, though, I could stop drinking al- together. Can you suggest any argument I could use to per- suade my boss to take me back? DESOLATED" * Training a new employee is * an expensive project.

This - Trinidad Is Really Joyful "Barbadians are sorry, but Spar- row's glad, The West Indian Capital "is in Trinidad! They tried their best to wreck . this thing, Now they've got to listen to the Calypso King!" Trinidadians shuffling behind "King Sparrow," the reigning calypso monarch, chanted this song as they danced in the streets of Port of Spain in cele- bration of the island's choice as the capital of the new Carribean federation, the Associated Press has reported. 'Trinidad is the calypso capital of the world. Selection of the capital site had been the toughest decision before the conference of federa- tion planners recently held in Kingston, Jamaica. The three big islands (Jamaica, Trinidad, and Barbados) had fought over the honor. In addition the small island- ers of the Leewards and Wind- wards which also will comprise the federation had contested bitterly for the site because of the economic boost it would have given their lagging eccon- mies. Apparently, however, the fin- al determination was made by agreement among the big three which had been recommended as capital candidates by an im- partial British commission (Bar- bados, Jamaica, and Trinidad, in that order). ] It is possible the final choice was the fesult of a deal between political leader whereby Trini- dad would throw its weight be- hind Jamaica's Chief Minister Norman Manley for premier- ship of the new federation in return for the capital vote. The vote on the capital was 11 tp 5 in favor of Trinidad, which indicated some intense lobbying and horse trading had gone on behind the scenes. The capital will be built on a site outside Port of Spain. Trinidad is one of the most prosperous of the West Indies, producing oil, sugar, and rice. Its people are a melting pot of Negroes, East Indans, whites, Chinese, and Syrians. Port of Spain is' a vigorous city. Its rapid rate of growth will be heightened by placing of the capital nearby. It is ob- vious that Trinidad can absorb the impact of increased popula- tion, administrative activity, and the load on facilities the capital will impose withoyt major dis- locations. . Trinidad now will receive a grant of $2,800,000 from the British as a contribution toward building the new capital. The southernmost of the Brit- ish West Indies, lying only 20 miles off the coast of Venezuela, Trinidad is the base for British West Indies Airways which ties all the islands together in a network of routes. Therefore its air communicatiops are the best that can be had. However, it will need addi- tional hotel facilities. Even oft season its limited facilities fre- quently' are filled completely. Modern Etiquette . . . By Anne Ashley Q. Are correspondence cards in good taste? A. Yes; they are very popu- lar and in good taste for the short, informal kind of -note,: It is becoming more and more cus- tomary for men and women to use these cards. However, they should not be used for strictly formal correspondence. i Q. May the bride wear her engagement ring and have her bridegroom place the wedding ring above it? A. No. On her wedding day, the bride either leaves her en- gagement ring at home, or wears it on her right hand. Q. Should- all the women be served first at the dining table, where men and women are seated altérnately? A A. This would be a foolish waste of time. The guests should . be served in regular sequence, whether man or, woman, ). What would be an -ap- propriate lette} of appreciation to write to a good friend who was very thoughtful at the time of one's bereavement? A. Just be very simple and sincere, as, "When Mother pass- ed away, you were very kind, Mrs. Barnes, and I want to thank you. Come to sce me ~ whén you find time." Q. When announcing an en- gagement in the newspaper, Is it all right to include the pictures of hoth the prospective bride and bridegroom? A. Although not exactly im- proper, this is not customarily done, Usually, only the picture of the bride-clect is published with the announcement of the engagement, IN SCHOOL AT HOME -- Keeping up with her studies is no problem for eight-year-old Susan Wright, despite a broken leg.

LEER G, rp let IRONICLES JGiNGER FARM LI Gwendoline P.Clathe J A . TY Well, I left the farm last week to spend a day and a half in Toronto. Of course I didn't do nearly as much as I had planned. However I was able to stay overnight with Daughter and: her family. As usual I spent very little time in the stores but 1 was there long enough to no- tice in passing some very lovely pletures in a special sale of art. - Many of thie pictures were beau- tiful so perhaps it was just as well that when I saw them I had only a little time to spare before my train left -- it had taken me so long to get my glasses -- Sizes Up To 50 Sizes up to 50 will enjoy the good looks, comfortable fit of this new sleep-time stylel Dress-length or - long-length nightie, pretty trimmed with lace' and bow!

Send order to ANNE ADAMS, 123 Eighteenth St, New Toron- to, Ont. glasses to sce with, I mean. As you know, glasses like every- thing else, have gone modern. A few years ago you had only a choice of rimless, gold-tilled, "nickel or horn-rimmed spec- tacles, Now you 'have literally dozens of frames to choose from, all colours, shapes and sizes, some of them engraved, some even set with brilllants. They come in black, blue, yellow, white, brown or a combination of colours. They are supposed to add to rather than detract from one's appearance. But which kind, and what colour to choose --- that's the question, The sales- man was very anxious to sell me black frames over white gold. "Very smart" he said. Smart! They reminded me of black and nickel bathroom fixtures. I thought I would like gfey rims. So he got out light greys, blue greys and gunmetal. They all made my hair look a rusty white. 1 finally settled for very con- servative light brown frames. I am sure the salesman was greatly relieved that I chose - anything at all." He had already suggested that if I came back next day he would have another assortment sent in from their branch store! That would have been too much. After all T only wanted an inconspicuous frame to hold the lenses together. My difficulty in making a decision was only because the selection was so fantastic. Fire for the young folk but surely opticians must, have many customers that are "hot in that category and would therefore appreciate a more suitable selection from which to choose. When I got to Daughter's place that night I found her plan- ning a little house-hunting jaunt. They want to make a move to get away from the busy street they are on. That is always a consideration for people with a young family growing up. We would like to see them come out to the country but Art can't face the idea of cornmuting back and forth. And I can't say I blame him. Many people who have tried living in suburbia are now moving back to the city. Others, inexperienced and hopeful, are heading for the supurbs, deter- mined to get away: from it all-- which makes it very 'nice for the real estate boys. Living anywhere this weekénd ~ ig a problem, After a week of lovely weather we are now ex- periencing a freezing drizzle, The footing 'is so treacherous that going from the house to the barn isn't any fun. However Part- ner. doesn't have to make many trips these days. There are plenty of odd jobs.to do once we get settled weather but noth- ing that can't wait. No young chickens to see to; no milking to do. And from what we hear there will be less chores to do on a few other farms too. Some farmers are thinking that to raise turkeys is an unprofitable sideline. I have spoken to sev- eral who are going out of the business because they say the game's not worth the candle. So -- come next Christmas house- wives may have to pay more for their turkeys. However Christ- mas is a long way off yet -- glory be. We've got a lot of other things to look forward to first. Yes, a lot of things. When the weather is depressingly drab it is. good to look outside and visualize 'the change that will take place in a few short months. Look at those bare trees, and the flowering shrubs, could anything appear more com- pletely dead that they do at this moment? Does it seem pos- sible that almost every twig green shoots will eventually ap- pear. To me, dormant life is a marvellous and awe-inspiring prelude to the miracle of spring. 1 can never understand how atheists can say and really be- lieve there is no God. They tell you that the spring is due to the natural forces of nature. We know it -- but who controls the forces of nature? Doesn't every- thing point conclusively to the presence of a Divine Power? Man, with all-his ingeniousness, could never change the seasons. The farmer knows it by instinct. I have yet to meet a farmer who is an atheist. No one can work with nature and deny the exist- ence of a higher power guiding and controlling the destiny of- the world. Well, well, how did I get on to that? I started with spectacles and end up with theology. But then, why not? Doesn't it prove that although we may be in- volved with trivial details we are still subservient to something within ourselves which we may, or may not recognize as a power. that motivates our thoughts and actions. Two days later, The first part "of this column is out of date. Now the weather is fine and " bright. But, befote this gets into rrint we may be snowed in. Who - knows? Information For TV Owners The Toronto Better Business Bureau has issued some * help- ful information for television owners. . Mr. A. R. Haskell, | General Manager of the Bureau, sald that television users should re- member that reception on tele- vision can vary from block te block -- from house to house -- and from one side of -the room to another, Images on the televisiom screen may be affected by sev eral things, the Bureau pointed out:-- (1) Atmospheric conditions, a mountain or even a tall bulld- "ing between you and the trans- mitting station might adverse- ly affect reception or reduce the effective range of your re- ceiver. (2) "Ghosts" (multiple im-~ ages) are generally caused by your location and surroundings. . Sometimes they can be come pletely or partially elminated by antenna adjustments or by auxiliary antenna equipment, "(3) Passing automobiles oe airplanes may mar your ples ture momentarily. (4) Reception can be affected by other television sets, by nearby diathermy machines oe other electrical devices. ; 'When buying a television re- ceiving set two important thingt should be remembered, the Bue reau stated: -- (1) The manufacturer's: ware ranty. (2) Service on your set. The Better Business Bureau pointed out that a manufactur er's warranty that your set if without defects means that if any part should prove defective under normal usage within the terms of the warranty, your dealer will supply you with a replacement. 'They warned that most manu- facturers' warranties apply only when you deal with an author- provisions. x He said: "Remember, the manufacturer's warranty ap- plies only to parts, not to la- bour or shipping costs or skilled services to determine the de- fects. Free service in the home is not included in the warranty. That's where the question of service comes in. : "You have to decide whethel to buy a service contract, which is offered by most retailers di- rectly or indirectly, or whethet to buy your set without a serv ice contract, in which case you would pay.fa service man foi any subsequent service, othet than the cost of replacemen/ parts as covered by the manu: facturer's warranty."
