CANE FIST) "Dear Anne Hirst: Better answer me fast -- or 1 intend to get a divorce. My hus- band has had a shop for 15 years that caters to girls' and young women. They flock in and flirt with him, and hold long conver- cations that they don't know I overhear, When I ask him what they talk about, he won't tell me and that makes me furious. "We aren't youngsters, we're both 45 and got married three years ago. He isn't a man who talks much, and he never con- fides in anybody; but it seems he would rather chat with these teenagers than with me! I al- most hate every one of them. I work as hard as he does, but does » he pay any attention to me? "I don't know quite what to. do, but I'm going to stop this nonsense. 1 won't take it any longer. ALL THROUGH" FOOLISH FEARS Remember what first at- tracted you to the man you married? It was those very qualities that other people ad- mire. He is interested iu people, and he's a patient listener; to these girls he is an older friend who can ad- vise them about their little problems, and they know he doesn't gossip. You married an attractive, successful man and now you wish you hadn't. Every time he chats with a customer you see her as a rival. Why? When he finally married, did he choose a teenager? He mar- ried you, a woman his age, old enough to have more common sense than you are showing now. Every one of these girls and young women represent your husband's (and your) source of income. He must be friendly to them all, or they'll shop somewhere else. Why don't you forget this foolish jealousy and get interested in them, too? If you did, they might confide in you instead. Think about this. (Somegp of these youngsters may be getting quite a kick out of "your jealous behaviour.) Few trials are so exasper- ating as to live with a jealous mate; the honest husband 1s ashamed of his wife, and the dishonest one thinks he may as well have the game as the name. I urge you to try to control yourself. Instead of being so suspicious and burn- ing yourself up, you should be proud you !married a man whom other people hold in such high regard. You know very well that your husband loves you; if he did not, he wouldn't put up LAR AL JE SE BE JE JE JE JE AE RE I IE IR IE I I A EI I a I a EE EE EE EE EE EE EE EE EE ET TTT Child's Delight Ho-hum--sleepy boy!

MOTHER SEEKS WORK 'Dear Anne Hirst: My husband and 1 have a grave problem. We are trying te find a way for our youngest boy to finish high school. We are both growing older, and suf- ter the usual infirmities of our age. "Two older children are mar- ried but they never helped us out except in emergencies, and were most ungracious. The boy ras tried in vain to find an after- school job. I've never worked for anyone else -- just took care of the children. I do enjoy nurs- ing, though, and am good at it; ao you think there is a chance in that field for me? "I've done my best for them EE EE IR EE IE EE all -- and see where it has left m!

They know the needs of families and institutions fn the neighbor- hood, and perhaps can recom- mend you for part-time serv- too heavily, and would cer- ice. That would not tax vou tainly add something to yous income. It is disgraceful that your older children, who had every advantage, do not rally around and help the boy complete his education. Have you tried ap- proaching them practically? Figuring a monthly sum to re- lieve the emergency? ~ They might be willing to contribute equally.

A WEDDING WAS ARRANGED The fiancé of Giuseppini Corso had the annoying habit of post- poning his wedding date. So persistent did he become in mak- ing and breaking dates that rela- tives of the girl decided to take a hand in the affair. Giuseppini's father, two bro- thers and an aunt waylaid the erring suitor, kidnapped him and" locked him in a room with tha girl, while. they took it in turns to stand guard outside the room all night. : And now, in a jail in Lagon- cgro, Itaiy, the schemers are working - off prison sentences ranging up to a year for their part in the proceedings. v) > SALLY'S SALUTES [1A on ton Ed oe oo al 'Many are taking up weights lifting, It's a sort of Sputnik effect, I guess," LR Great Fashion ss House Honored A hundred years is a great zge for a fashion house. Not many dchieve it. Centenary celebrations take on added im- portance for being such rare oc- casions." The fashion house of Worth, celebrating its 100th anniversary in July of this year, is one of {the oldest ccuture houses in the world, Charles Worth, the founder, son of a poor solicitor, was ap- prenticed till 1845 to Swan and Edgar, a large store in Picca- dilly Circus, London. Without money and without introductions, however, he was drawn away to Paris and got a jeb at Maison Gagelin, where ha soon became chief designer. In 1858, Charles Worth launched out on his own, opening a salon in the rue de la Paix. Worth's fortune was made when his first court customer, the Princess de Metternich, krought the Princess Eugenie to his salon. The ladies of the court of the Second Empire followed, demanding clothes for the many state occasions and court balls. Fabulous days brought fabu- lous clothes. material went into skirts and Worth introduced the crinolire tn cope with draperies. Despite his later efforts to banish this symbol of elegance and leisure, women clung to it until the Second Empire col- lapsed and the most austere days of the Third Republic brought the straighter lines worn toward the end of the 19th cen- tury. By this time fashion-conscious ladies of Boston and New York had discovered Paris. In the ccurse of the Grand Tour of Eu- rope they would stop off ut Worth's salon to order finery In 1900, Worth, with. the he'p of his twe sons. onened a Lon- con house and continued to maka - aresses during the Edwardian and Georgian eras. In addition to haute couture, the house now has a boutique where ready-mades are avail- able at lower cost than couture models. There is also the Miss Worth department for vounger customers. Recognizing the changed social and economic pattern of its second century, the house has even opened wholesale showrooms where collections are shown to buyer from Great Britain and over- seas. The house of Worth thus sym- bolizes a century of fashion and this is being graohically illus- trated to mark the centenary. At the Victoria and Albert Mu- seum, James Laver organized an exhibition of sketches of Worth dresses, one for every vear from 1858 to 1958. THEY REALLY DIE LAUGHING Many natives in New Guinea are laughing themselves to death, and doctors are worried about it. In 1956, 60 natives died from Kuru, or the -laughing disease. The disease begins. with a twitching of the fingers and soon the victim is convulsed. with contnual, 'uncontrollable Jlaugh- ter until he dies. : The sickness attacks mainly women and children. Doctors are now trying to find out the cause of the "laughing death". Cannibalism and head-hunting were common in many ditsricts of New Gliinea until- compara- tively recently. And that was no laughing matter . "What is Summer?" "A June here, an October there, and a lot of hot air in between." : . it side Saiare § ty BACKSTAGE VISITOR -- Princess Margaret is chatting with actor Mervyn Blake? after she saw a production of "A Winter's Tale," at the Shakespeare Festival in Stratford, Ont. Blake is playing the role of a shepherd in the play. More and more ~ I wonder how many readers of this column saw Princess Marg- aret? We were not among the lucky number -- mpch to our regret. I suppose we could have - been but standing in line, pos- sibly in the hot sun, is a little raore than we can stand now. But we did follow the Princess on television wherever she went and were completely captivated by her naturalness and charm. Similar reports have reached us from those who did see her. In fact it is my belief _that Princess Margaret has a tremendous ap- real for Canadian people and that many were conscious of a tightening of the throat re- membering this friendly young girl had not felt free to follow the dictates of- her own heart in her personal life. My nephew, Klemi, is spending the summer at the Banff School of Fine Arts and was playing the solo violin in the Concerto that was played for the Princess during her stay at Banff. He sent me a glowing account of the occasion. But even if we didn't make a trip to see the Princess we haven't exactly been sitting at Lome.

We had no idea there was such ~ varied and beautiful scenery in Ontario. Any one of the pro- vincial parks is well worth a visit. Our Department of Lands and Forests deserves to be con gratulated for its fine work in fixing up accessible places that provide beauty and convenience tourists and picnic parties. Bass Lake, not far from Orillia, is typical. Massive trees give plenty of shade, almost to the water's cfige. Picnic tables and benches are in good supply and there is a sheltered building with more tables and benches plus eight barbecue grills for which there _ is a plentiful supply of firewood, cut and stacked. The Building - has a stone wall about four feet above floor level and a good roof. So, rain or shine, there is always a good place for picnic meals. The beach originally had a stoney base byt enough sand has been trucked in to make it cuitable for children, especially in the safety area for swimming. The view and the coolness was sc lovely I could have sat thera all day with the utmost content. The next trip took us to about 25 miles north of Peterborough. We had our lunch on the banks of the Trent Canal in the lee cf the lift-locks. We climbed the stone steps to the top of the lock gates and watched them open .for two small pleasure boats to go through. From there we went to Stoney Lake and found a lovely little beauty spot, very secluded and yet not isolat- ed. All kinds of trees -- and a very nice cottage for sale! The thore-line was also well wooded and apparently the lake provides ' good fishirig and boating. The boys had a great time paddling around in the shallow water. We lazed around for about an hour and then started for home keeping -as close' to the water's edge -as we could, We came past Rice Lake just before sundown and the view was one to re- member. We stayed on the less "travelled highways until it was almost dark, then we struck ~ across to Highways 401 and 27, 'by then we were nearly home! We practically had the. south. bound roads to ourselves ani were very thankful. we were heading. south and not north, where in some sections the cars were travelling bumper to bumper. Considering the extreme heat and humidity our grandsons were really very good -- in splendid little ' travellers. brought a 'crib' mattress along with her in the trunk. of 'the car and when the boys were tired she fixed it up on the back _ seat - where Dave, and Eddie settled down and went to sleep fact. Dee n---- wv as quietly as if they had been in their own beds at home. Ten months old Jerry was more of a problem as he had to sleep on his mother's lap most of the time, But on the whole he was very good, too, Yesterday "the rest of them went to Midland but I stayed ' home as so' much driving with the windows down gave me cold in the glands of my neck and was somewhat 'painful, I wanted to keep Jerry with me tut his mother was afraid he might fuss so the only one to stay with me was Honey Until then she had gone on every trip, sitting on, the floor of the "car, getting the full benefit of the ventilation and having a swim cvery time we stopped near the water. That is what. I would like to do right now -- but where? Guess I'll have to. be satisfied with a bath-tub or shower. And be 'thanktul that we have it. There was a time when we didn't have that much. _I have only to look back a few years to appreciate the modest conveniences we gow enjoy. Who Keeps The Movies Going? Who is the typical Moviegoer, U.S.A.? He probably is a teen- ager from the suburbs of a ma- jor Southern or Southwestern city. He is tiring of Western horse operas, but enjoys taking his favorite girl to a horror film, especially if it is running at a drive-in theater. He and other members of his generation (from 12 to 24 years of age) have shelled out $800 million at movie box offices last year (out of a $1 billion gate). This portrait. of the nation's film fan and his fellows was drawn last month by the man who claims to know moviegoers best: Albert E. Sindlinger, a stocky 51-year-old public- opinion pollster and business analyst who has been gauging 'the.fancies and fads of audiences for seventeen years. Hollywood executives regularly call on Sindlinger's offices in a convert- ed carriage house in Philadel- phia's suburban Ridley Park, as superstitious_ Greeks once -trav- eled to the Oracle of Delphi to divine the future. For, as movie business slump- ed badly in the TV era, the trade's wiseacres sought a quick cure -- and one doctor who offered remedies flavored with statistics, potions that U.S. busi- J ness 'seems to like, was Sind-- linger. . Fanning out across America from Ridley Park, Sindlinger's 239 full-time interviewers quiz about 8,000 people a week.' A staff of 87 then turns the samp- lings into facts and forecast: Po- tentfal box-office receipts, the size of a picture budget, the best stars for particular films, titles ("A Time to Love and a Time to Die" is being billed in 'most-U.S. cities as "A Time tq Love" be- causes Sindlinger found the novel's title gives away the plot), and the best ways to ad- vertise a film. While Sindlinger grosses about $100,000 a year from Hollywood film makers; he reckons that his advice saves them about $10 million a year. If the studios took more of his advice, he says, the financial inroads TV has made on movies would be less severe. "Hollywood officials,' he says ruefully, "hire you to help them. But when you don't tell them what they want .to hear, " sometimes they don't trust your accuracy."--From NEWSWEEK.
