Ansvers will appear the week following your ou] A haze on the far horizon, The infinite tender sky, The ripe rich tint of the cornfields And the wild geese sailing by. And all over upland and lowland The charm of the goldenrod-- Some of us call it autumn, And others call it God. Dear Miss St. John: I have been going with my boy friend for two years almost and neith- er one of us have gone out with any- but al- though he has told me many times he loves me, he has never mentioned marriage yet. Do you think this- will come éventually or do you think two years is sufficient time for a man to make up his mind? : GRACE. Answer:--yYour boy friend may have any one of three reasons for not men- tioning marriage, Grace. He may not be in a financial position to keep a wife. Many young men hesitate to ask a girl who is earning a fair salary to share his perhaps smaller earnings. Then again he may "love" you as he ~ loves his sister--as a good pal. Many a pleasant friendship is broken up because one of the two falls in love, while the other has only friendship to offer. And of course there are men who are never really serious with any girl. They make love to every girl they _take out, but who never settle down to matrimony. If you love this young man and he professes to love you, you have a right to bring up the subject in a tactful way. Find out where you stand. It will only make it harder for you if the boy friend is not serious and the matter drags on indefinitely. INA ST. JOHN. Dear Miss St. John: I am seventeen years old. All my life mother has chosen my clothes. I am now -earning my own living and I would like to spend my own salary-- after I pay my board. Mother spends it all on me except a little she depo- sits in the bank to my account. But she favors plain sport or tailored _ clothes in dark shades. Is it bad taste _ for girls to wear pretty colours and fluffy things? NANCY. Answer:--No doubt your mother still regards you as a child. Why not sug- gest to her in a pleasant way that you would like to learn how to handle money. Why of course girls should wear pretty colours. And while "fluffy" things are not always in good taste for business wear, they "belong" to every girl for other occasions. INA ST. JOHN. Dear Miss St. John: Five years ago I married a fine man. Iwas so fond and proud of him that I called him "beautiful John" to my friends. He is still "beautiful" Miss St. John. But--No, it is not children who have come between us. My mother-in- law has come to live with us, and she is more upsetting than nine children. We are direct opposites. She is pain- fully genteel. I am rough and ready. She is precise and prim in her me- thods of housekeeping. I know how to do things. But I run the house. It will never run me. If I feel like taking a morning off for a shopping expedition I tan use the old delicatessen and the can opener to good effect. And yet-- I was always ace high with beautiful John--until now. Since mother came if I fail to thicken the gravy, or phone for ice cream instead of making a heavy dessert for dinner mother pets John up as though he were ter- ribly abused--promising to make him "nice apple dumplings tomorrow." And John actually feels abused and sulks some! Mother has plenty of money. Need she ruin our happiness? LORNA. Answer:--Why not talk it over with your mother-in-law, Lorna. Suggest that you divide the house so she can have John all 'to herself when she feels so inclined. And incidentally you will have the same privilege. Since you are so opposite in disposition you could never be happy hogether. And life is ; 1930 Fraser's COLOR Affects Everybody !

Dear Miss St. John: I am a country girl. I am to be mar- ried next month. We are just invit- ing the two families to the wedding. I feel that I would like to send word to my friends. How would you suggest doing so? ELMA. Answer:--Why not have formal an- nouncements engraved by the print- ers? They are mailed a few days prior to the wedding. - INA ST. JOHN. lytical character of the jurist, the poise of the man of wealth, the con- descension of the tried parliamentar- ian, the reserved dignity of the Prime Minister. No Canadian Prime Minister has ev- er taken office at a more critical time. He has to grapple with unemploy- ment; he faces declining revenues; his first year is bound to produce a deficit; he has $1,000,000,000 of re- funding before him in his first five years. All of this, or even a small part of it, would appall the average stout heart. It has, so far as he can be judged, no terrors for Bennett. And whether he succeeds or fails, what- ever fate may hold for him, he will give of his best. Froude said of Dis- raeli that if he sometimes invited cen- sure he never deserved contempt. R. B. Bennett's temperament and charac- ter and methods will sometimes in- vite censure: his conduct never con- tempt. His whole career is a guaran- tee that whatever policies he may espouse he will "nothing mean nor common do" in the overpowering re- sponsibility to which he has beer called. we recommend (4 Screen-Grid), Natural Full-Throated TONE through the larger (14 inch) speaker perfectly matched with an extra-fine radio TEMPLE Superb Cabinets by McLagan--a receiver that is fine throughout.
