(I am an orphan, and have had a couple of rooms of my own.) My fiance is a successful engi- neer of 31 (I'm, 22) and for some years he's been living with a widowed sister who has two children; he practically supports them. He expects me to move n with them, but the more I iee of her the less inclined I am. she is shiftless, the children are aeglected, and also (quite a jolt) [ feel she is as opposed to my coming as I am. "I hvaen't explained this in de- jail, for my fiance dismisses any ittempts with a wave of his aand, saying 'Of course you'll oe happy there!" I'd be glad to hold on to the good job I have, although later I want a family. [ have never cared for parties, I just want a spot of my own with the man I love.

IRENE" You two are not impulsive teen-agers, you can wait un- til your marriage has a falr start. I am sure you both could take almost any hurdle in your stride -- but it does seem foolhardy to walk open- eyed into a situation so fraught with risks as this one. Your fiance's sister is mistress in her home, and even if you admired each other she might well feel your coming an in- trusion. The housing situation has postponed many a marriage, but when there's a will, there's a way. If your fiance is convinced you will not mar- ry until you two can be alone, he will rattack the problem more vigorously and help you 'find a place. Women have more imagina- tion than most men, and are more sensitive to personali- ties and to their surround- ings. You may find it hard to persuade your man that you mean what you say, but he must realize that only pa- tience, and a fresh survey of the loeal scene, can hasten the wedding day. . Keep in mind that he will undoubtedly want to continue helping his sister along, so re- mind him you'll be glad to start on a modest scale and live in small quarters until conditions- improve. Save every dollar you can for a fu- ture nest-egg, for no matter how well off the man, that is always welcome. Don't think of breaking the engagement. Talk things over, inspire each other by your love and faith. Meeting the problems head-on together will give you both new hope and fortitude. - * * * POSSE EE EEE EEE EE IRIE ERNE EE EE EE NE EE EE EE EE EE EE EE EE EE EE EE EE NE EE EE EE EE EE SE SE "Dear Anne Hirst: About a year ago a friend introduced me fo a grand girl.

C.N.E. officials shculd have put their heads to- gether and come up with more accurate weather forecasts for the Big Fair. Here follows our own experience. The first Sat- urday of the Ex. there was an early morning mist. The "probs" called for clearing by noon, Well, as you know it. rained, and rained, and, as I told you last week, Partner and I got soaked. The following Thursday Bob and his family planned a trip to the Ex. Overnight fore- cast was for rain all day. It wasn't possible for them to choose another day so they took a chance and went. It didn't rain at all! They had a wonderful time. Friday Partner and 1 thought we would have a second day at the Fair. But the day dawned foggy and wet.

By the time I got to the Ex. it was a grand day and I was wishing that Partner had come along with me. Weather did not provide the only prob- lems. Last Saturday our near- est neighbours set out to--drive to the C.N.E. But when they got to Sunnyside traffic officers stopped them from going any farther with the: car. They put it into a parking lot and walked the rest of the way -- approxi- mately two miles -- mother, father and a seven year old girl. That's what 1 call getting pleasure the hard way. Come to think of it farm folk on a rainy day, are better off than most people at the Ex. That is if they are content to stay in the Coliseum where it is quite possible to put in the whole day -- looking --at the livestock, watching the judging, admiring 'the many fine horses and ex- claiming at the wonderful ex- hibits and demonstrations put on by the 4-H Clubs. Modern farm- ing requires modern methods -- tractors and high-powered ma- chinery, but how uninteresting they appear compared with the sturdy, well-groomed Clydes- dale and Percheron horses. Just as well we have the Exhibition and the Royal Winter Fair, isn't it, otherwise some children on farms might never know what a good team looks like? Speaking of children, they will be back to school this week and family life will settle down to a well-established pattern. Youhg enthusiasts will arrive at school long before the doors are open; dawdlers will rush in at --4he-last minute, just a few sec- onds ahead of the bell. Little tots, hesitant but inwardly ex- cited, experience their first day at school--with mother fearful as to their reaction. Little John --or maybe Betty--has been her baby until school days began, Now her boy or girl have thelr feet on the first rung of the lad- der of independence. Life at home is more orderly but for quite awhile mother finds there is a quietness and loneliness that tugs at her heartstrings. However, even without chil- dren at home 'life isn't always orderly. That I discovered one morning. A ring at the doorbell. I opened the door, there stood the milkman a sheepish look on his face. He had dropped a quart bottle of milk on the front porch. Such a mess! He gathered up the broken glass with a broom and dustpan and then Partner turned the hose on fo the cement floor of the porch. Soon. after that I was getting fish ready to fry. I had my back to the stove and was listening to Gordon Sinclair at the same time, The pan was heating and I turned round just in time to see the grease burst into flames, about a foot high. Frankly I was curious bécause it had never happened to me before, I knew there wks no danger of fire as there was nothing near the stove to catch fire. In a matter of seconds I remembered the important thing was to smother the flames. A close-fitting lid the trick. But then I had t smoke to contend with re 1 one . . . It doesn't matter how good- looking you are.or how photo- genic, one thing is certain your ears are odd! Your ears are either different shapes or even different sizes. You might not be able to tell by looking in a mirror but pho- tographs of each ear, placed side by side, would prove it, 'If shapes and sizes are identi- cal then you'll probably find they are not both placed in identical positions at either side of your head. If both your ears are identical in shape, size and position then you can pat yourself on the carried the covered pan outside. Then I opened the doors and windows. But the air was heavy. and the smoke wouldn't budge. So I shut off the furnace and turned on the fan. In ten min- utes the house was free of smoke. When Partner came in he didn't know until I told him that I had tried to burn the house down. How and why did it happen? I'll tell you--it may make some other woman more cautious. You see we have a new electric stove with an extra quick ele- ment. My old stove had solid burners that took forever to heat. Fat in the pan would never catch fire on that stove. But this well, Gordon Sinclair was partly to blame. A startling news story told with his usual dramatic detail caused my at- tention to wander. The Story? An eleven year old girl gave birth to a baby. Enough to make any woman forget what she was doing, wasn't it? So friends if you have a quick: heating element, watch out. Keep a lid handy, shut off the air and smother the flames. Still more important shut off the heat -- either that of Gordon Sinclair or the stove. Both going at once might lead to spontaneous com- bustion! A Million To One You Have Odd Ears back as almost unique. You're one in a million, Fars are a great give-away, too, so far as age is concerned because while you may have stopped growing when you were in your teens, your ears didn't. They start growing when you are born and keep on until you die. You, madam, may he very "proud of your delicate shell-like ears but by the time you are forty they will be considerably bigger and not' so shell-like, That is why most elderly and old people have large ears. By the time a man is thirty- five he has started growing fine hairs round the edge of his ears and on the lobes, By the time he is fifty they have to be trim- med each time he has a haircut. You may boast about your ex- cellent hearing but if you are past thirty it isn't as good as it was -- very high pitched, sounds will have passed beyond the-range of your ears. If you are a cyclist you can thank your ears for enabling you to cycle safely down the road. If you only walk, you can still thank your ears for keeping you on your feet. The canals of your inner ear are filled with liquid. They act as a kind of spirit level and they keep you nicely balanced. One of the essentials in tight-rope walking is to keep the head per- fectly still so that at the first sign of the 'liquid in the ear tilting, it can be corrected. This liquid can be upset when you spin round rapidly and that is why you feel dizzy for a mo- ment. You may get a slight diz- zy feeling if you rise quickly "from a chair. It is just that the liquid in your inner ear did not adjust itself fast enough. Ears are "passed on" from father to son much more. fre- quently than eyes or noses. In fact it is fairly certain that you have the same shape and. size of ear as your father and as. his father. It wouldn't be an ex- = aggeration to say that if ons of your ancestors fought at Agincourt, he had ears identical to yours. Feel the top of your ear just behind the roll edge. You find a tiny lump. That is all that remains now of the pointed, of devil's ears, that every prehis- toric man had. : 3 1 "How is your son gett with his medical studies?"
