My husband is a good man and a loyal one, but our married life- nas been a succession of mis- understandings that nearly part- ¥d us more than once.

He is married, but he has me at his mercy. 1 cannot resist him. He swears he has never loved anyone the way he loves me. 1 have been everything to him, and now I can't get free! 1 have treated him shabbily, told him I despise him, but he will not let me go. "When 1 realize what 1 have become, I nearly die of shame. Whatever my husband's fauits, he. does not deserve deceit. 1 never believed I could stoop to such mortal sin. "The man is devoted to his children and says he can never leave them. His wife believes he still cares for her, though he doesn't, But now she has heard about us, and I'm afraid she will be on the warpath soon. What- ever can I do to escape from this bondage?

You can lock your door against him, and tell him that if he approaches you again you will have him arrested. You know his influence is an evil thing, but you also know you have enjoyed yielding to it. Unless you end this dan- gerous life, you are headed for a scandal that will drag your good husband with you. Already the man's wife is talking, and why shouldn't she?

Now 1 find, to my amazement, 1 am in lovel "I don't think he loves me that way, or perhaps he does and doesn't know it. He has always dated lots of girls, and 1 have listened to his ravings about them without any jealousy, but now it is very different. I know 1 would be so good for him, it he'd only wake up and realize I love him so. "How can 1 find out if he cares? Please help'me, I certain- ly need it. WORRIED" Many a well-bred girl finds herself in your state. There is practically nothing you can do about it, except to remove yourself from the scene. Then he will have the chance to find out how important you are to his well-being. When a boy takes a girl for granted, and monopolizes all her spare time without re- vealing his intentions, this pro- cedure should bring results. Of course, you may not stir his emotions at all; on the other hand, he may have been in love all along (in spite of his other girls) and not realize it until~he discovers you are not avaliable any time he feels like dropping in. Isn't it worth the chance? So appear to be busy with other friends sb you have to refuse seeing him when he rings your doorbell. He may suddenly find that his life is quite empty without your com- panionship, and awaken to a love he did not know he felt. If it fails, you will be better off anyhow, having grown -ac- customed to not seeing him so often. It is sad indeed when love does not beget love, but sometimes it does happen * * LJ Write Anne Hirst frankly and get the benefit of her under- standings and her long experi- ence. It is yours for the asking. Address her at Box 1, 123 - 18th Street, New Toronto, Ont. They Fall In Love Faster Today ® € OH 60 EOP OE 0» It was one of the busiest days the attractive young French tele- rhone operator had had for a long time. Everybody seemed to be making calls. Suddenly she 'heard an agitated male vogice on the line. "Excuse me," the young man was saying, with a Spanish ac- cent, "but are you married?" The girl was in no mood for dalliance with an unknown. and flirtatious stranger, so she snap- ped: "Number, please?" "l don't want any particular number," said the young man insistently, "L just like your voice. I've made a dozen 'phone calls from this box today and the more 1 hear your voice the more I like it. But tell me first --are you married?" The girl. ignored his question and cut him off, Five minutes later the young man with the accent was back again. The telep Lone girl couldn't help wondering what he looked like and why he asked such odd questions. And being heart-free, anyway, 'she agreed to meet him in a cafe that eve- ning. . They met. She was amazed when he said simply: "I'm look- ing for a wife and 1 must find one quickly. I've had a secret tip from our family solicitor that my uncle plans to cut me out of his $75,000 will-if I'n not mar-- ried by June 30th. He won't leave his money to a2 bachelor." The girl's head was in a whirl, Shie liked him; he was clearly sincere, But marriage to him -- a stranger -- within three months! It was fantastic. Im- possible. Or was it? He went on talking. He said he had been trying to find a pretty, single girl for the who'e fortnight while he was in France and had failed. Her attractive voice had given him the wild idea of meet= ing her and proposing. She agreed to marry him. The uncle in Granada was delighted at his nephew's choice, The wed- ding was in Seville and the couple have now settled down happily in Spain, Out-of-the-blue obroposals of see yourself*s all your little' this very day. : Regain your . marriage have boomed since the end of the war, Perhaps it's the tempo of the times, but people are falling in love faster, Four men. out of five in (he early years of this century care fully planned their proposals as if they were going to make a speech, Some rehearsed what they would say so often that they made a ludicrous fiasco of the whole thing. Others wrote long-winded letters to the gir's of their choice, : What happens today? There was a young "Londoner who fell for the girl who sold him some cigarettes at a wayside railway station in the Austrian Tyrol He looked down into her dark eyes from his carriage window after paying her and, acting on impulse, grabbed his holiday suitcase and jumped off the train, The surprised brunette lis- tened politely a few minutes later while he told her that he'd fallen in love with her at first sight. Over wine in an open-air cafe that evening he heid her hand and proposed. And she surprised herself by accepting. Neither has regretted. that whirlwind court- ship. ! Sometimes it's the woman (or women ! ) who propose in a hur- ry. This happened. not long ago on a holiday island off the Bai- tic coast, More than 150 women who heard the story of a good-looking man's devotion to his little daughter after he had lost his wife, at once wrota to him and - sixty of them proposed marriage. The man was almost over- whelmed by this avalanche of - love letters from total strangers But after sifting the letters he wrote to half a dozen of the writers asking to see their photo- graphs. He selected the pretti- est and married her. Sometimes an impetuous lover who can't visit the girl _.of his choice rings her up on the.long- distance telephone and pops the question over hundreds of miles of ocean. } An American Serviceman did this after a fleeting chance meeting with a Swedish girl in Stockholm, He had to start back home that same evening so di- rectly he got there he got busy on the telephone. 'He had to ring her half a dozen times before she consent- ed to marry him. The calls cost nearly $150. "She was worth it," "he told a reporter when the news of their sudden romance hit the headlines in the United States. Research shows that the Ro- meos of 1958 who are really in a hurry to achieve wedded bliss pop the question within six months of meeting the girl. Be- lieve it or not, more brunettes than blondes are successfully wooed by these lightning lovers. Lots of them propese on park seats, in a country lane on a fine spring night, or in a car. Com- paratively few sudden proposals take place in the girl's home, probably because she hasn't known him long enough to in- vite him home! STARR AND CAST -- Songstress Kay Starr shows the audience her "supporting cast" while performing. at the Sahara night club, It was the first stage ap- pearance for Kay since she fractured her leg In a skiing mishap several months ago. She'll be wearing the cast for another two months. Mean- while the show goes on. t ' 3 ON THE TROPHY TRAIL -- Nine-year-old Vicki Ann Smith is the Ohio state champion baton twirler in the juvealle division and she's got more trophies than she can shake a baton at. last count--137, with 42 medals. More are on the way as the fourth- grader competes in summer contests. Vickie's in second place nationally and has held the state title for tw. yedrs, 7GiNGER FARM endoline P.Clatke We actually had some rain. Not much, not really halt enough--just sufficient to make everything look fresh and green, However, we are tnank- ful for small mercies. but look . - hopefully for more. In the mean. time the garden somehow con- tinues to grow and the nursery ~ stock we put in seems none the | worse for drought -- thanks to the hose going every day even though the well-water hasn't the mineral properties of the rain . from heaven to promote growth. Well, last week I told you what could be seen from my work- room window, now I'll tell you what we see from the living- room, remembering that our acre-lot is sort of diamond shap- ed -- or like a wedge of pie with a piece bitten off the tip, repre- senting the road allowance. To the extreme right of this view there is a background of trees -- elm, ash, hickory, hawthorn and cherry. In a similar senfipircie a little distance from the hip se" there are ornamental trees 'and shrubs planted since we came . here. Small, as yet, but in a few years they should provide a little shade. What are they? Well, so far in trees we have a flowering crab, a honeylocust, several butternut and mapies, butterfly bush, two small spruce trees and shrubs of forsythia, almond, spirea and lilac. And then between us and the road there is a small stand of native white ash. Of course neighboring houses and gardens are not too far . away. To our right a couple with an eight-year-old girl. They built the house themselves and have laid out a nice garden. They spend hours every day digging, planting, watering and" weeding. . To our left a young couple with a' year-old baby toddling around as smart as you please. But they lack a green thumb, + Trees newly planted wither and die. and they make nc attempt at gardening. Actually they haven't a chance. The girl isn't too strong and the boy is only home at week-ends. All he has time for is to cut the grass and take his wife shopping Across the road it the locai doctor's residence, which 1n- cludes his office. If we ever - thought 'doctors had an easy time we would have changed our minds by now. There ar» patients coming and going all. the time; cars usually line the street most evenings and at in- tervals during thé day. We see .the doctor come home--from the hospital or a house-call -- and before he can get a bite to eat or get a brief rest there are patients 'waiting for him. He doesn't have an office nurse so his wife must be within ear- .shot of the telephone all the timh, Sometimes at night the doctor comes over here for a chat or to watch television but always we must keep the win- dow drapes slightly open so he can see if anyone calls at the office -- late at night it would most likeiy be an emergency. We find it quite interesting watching the various patients come and go; babies in arms,' a man on crutches or an arm in a sling; a youngish woman with small children and another to come. Sometimes an ambu- lance comes and goes. We don't know anything about the people: their illnesses or injuries -- and | of course we don't ask questions --but I find it intriguing to let my imagination run riot and till in the gaps. But we won't be able to do it much longer as the doctor is having a house 'and office built to his twn speci- _ fications. It won't be far from. here but on another road, more central, so consequently we shall have less to see from our living- room window. Well, I expected to be a grass widow this week as Partner had planned to spend a few days with' Daughter, to get a few jobs aone for her around the house. But yesterday she phoned . . . . Dave appeared to have, the chicken-pox, This morning ar- other call -- the spots were fad- ing without forming blisters -- maybe it wasn't chicken-pox after all. Maybe not -- it could be his mother had jumped to conclusions--the child next door having had chicken-pox. There is a large veranda-at the front of the house with a safety-gate at the top of the steps. Here she puts Eddie out to play. Recently he has managed to climb, over the veranda or under the. gate. Now she has a harness on hun with a rope attached He still gets out, goes as far as the rope will let him, and then climbs back again. Persistent... that's Eddie's middie name. And now one little W.I. item-- which isn't really "little' at all.' . Did you know the F.W.I.C. had been given one of Canada's most unique awards -- An inscribed beaver pelt for outstanding con: "tributions to eitizenship during' the last 10 years. The Citizen- ship Awards were presented at the Annual meeting of the Cana. dian Citizenship: Council, and presented by Gen. H. D. Crerar, ° honorary president, Other "re- cipients were the C.BC., Cana- dian Institute of Public Affairs and the Library Association. Isn't it grand that the WI should have been given this recognition . for the work: they have done? I am sure everyone will agree they deserved it. ALY i 4 "Did the man at the boat house give you a rain check?" My Trouble With " Plaited Hair It was a man's world; but women had the good fortune to share it. Contrary to the usual film story, where the wife is al- ways unhappy in the' wilderness, thus providing conflict, real-life - jungle wives love the life, When 'my mother got married, my fa- ther worried about taking her into camp with him, Camp life was so different from everything , she had known up to then. "But what will there be for you to ( do?" he wondered. She loved every minute of jt, There was plenty to.do, She organized the meals and com- fort and orderliness of our jun: gle home, It was absolutely - never makeshift or chaotic. . . . She could make lace, or haver- sacks, or cloth heads for my dolls when the china ones got broken, She could ice a wedding cake, make' every kind of con- fection -- anything. When pen. painting was the rage, she mas- tered the art dt once and paint- ed beautiful designs with a pen ~on-satin 'cushion-coyers. It was a rage that did not last because the paint faded and broke. off. Mother went back to her em- broidery. 3 But I was no.needlewoman or chef..1 liked fishing and climb- ing,. and . watching "animals. In these pursuits, being a girl was a handicap, even though I had a mother who was prepared to wait up alone in the jungle at night for panthers and bears. , Well, my hair and- skirts, for example, i; : That' was -in the days before shorts for girls, or short hair either, so I wore a skirt and a long hair. .Both were a hated nuisance, . . . It was long thick hair, fair to begin with, and dark brown by the time I was grown up It was perfectly straight, and 1 got it out of my way into two plaits, either of which by the age Jd! fifteen was thicker than any other school friend's: one plait. But it never did me the slightest good. As a child I found it a nuisance, specially when they wanted to wash it, and the minute I grew up I cut it oft... . But in India, there it was, al- ways in the way, When it was in plaits, they slipped: about and fell into things; and if I went to a party in Lansdowne I had to "wear it loose, which was worse. If I crawled through under- growth, my knees tripped on it. I wanted to be. like a boy, with no skirt or plaits, and sometimes I knotted the two plaits. togeher behind me to be rid of them. The daily ' brushing, tool The tangles. And then when they washed it -- the fuss! The rub- bing and rinsing.
