MISS OR MRS. Dear Miss St. John,-- Don't you think a girl of thirty-two is wise to marry the one man who finds her attractive? I am the girl, and I certainly don't consider the man in the case my ideal--by any means, but he can give me a comfortable home and I will be able to write Mrs. in front of my name! Please give me your opinion, Miss St. John. --PRO. SPINSTER. Ans.: It seems to me that it would be terrible to be married to a man one did not love. It would be better by far to be "Miss" all your life than to be unhappily married. However, the fact that you are considering the matter proves that you are attracted by this man. If you feel that you could be satis- fied with him for a life compan- ion, you are taking slight risk in marrying him for "This must be love." --Ina St. John FOOLISH PRIDE Dear Miss St. John,-- Three months ago I was a happy girl. I was practically engaged to a man I still love dearly. But we had a quarrel. Now he goes with a wild girl. She has got him drinking, and he .is not the good boy he was, Yet his brother tells me that he still loves me. Pride is all that keeps him away from me. I would go to him, only something tells me the other girl has some hold on him. What can I do, Miss St. John? --PAT. Ans.: Why not forget foolish pride and go to him, Pat! Life is too short to throw away your hap- piness for the sake of one quar- rel. Don't let this low class girl steal your man. For his own sake as well as your own I advise you to make an effort to win him back. --Ina St. John OVER INDULGED Dear Miss St. John,-- While I am visiting here in Strat- ford, I thought I would take advan- tage of your very nice column. We live in a large city. My hus- band is a successful doctor. We have just one child--a girl, seventeen. Our home is very fine. Our daughter has everything a girl could wish for. Her room is a dream. Last week her Dad brought home a lovely little radio for her room and a pair of cut glass dresser lamps. She has completed her collegiate course and is now study- ing advanced music. She has about twenty pairs of shoes, half a dozen suits, two fur coats and more dresses than I care to say. You would think she would be very happy. Her father and I simply idol- ize her. Of course we do restrict her in some ways. We forbid her to play popular music. We object to dancing in any form or shows. We take her everywhere in our lovely car. So she really has not much need of girl friends. We do not care to have young girls around very much, for we feel that soon they would bring boys. That is what we mean to avoid until Girlie is out of her teens any- way. We give her so much we think she owes it to us to give us her com- pany. Don't you? This is my trouble. Daughter envies her cousin who lives in a small town. This girl's parents are poor. She be- longs to a large family. She never has anything that she can do with- out. She has to work at office work and pay board, though she is just Daughter's age. This girl has so many girl and boy friends their front porch is crowded in the evening -- unless she goes out with them. There is always a noise there, talking, laugh- ing, radio at all hours. Yet our girlie says she wishes she could change places with her cousin. Isn't this hard? How can we account for this atti- tude of hers? --MOTHER. Ans.: No one can blame the par- ents of an only child for being de- voted to her interests, but after all you and your husband were not always middle aged. doting parents. Have you completely for- gotten the time when you were young and gay? Money can work wonders, but it cannot buy happiness. If a girl is unhappy or perhaps I should say discontented, no amount of luxury can make her happy. I believe that your daugh- ter is surfeited with attention and smothered with kindness. Why do you force her to exclude pop- ular music? Did you always choose the classics when you were her age? How foolish to cut the girl off from young people of her own age. Stolen fruit is sweet. No girl of seventeen is satisfied with the companionship of her parents and their friends. Of course she loves them and loves to be with them, but "like seeks like." Your daughter can no more live on chocolate cake than she can be happy with the exclusive company of those of another gen- eration. Once again I beg of you to recollect the days of your own youth. Did you seek the company of your parents, aunts and uncles in preference to that of the boys and girls of your own age? As to the cousin, she is fortun- ate in possessing brothers and sis- ters. She is allowed to lead a normal life with her friends. Aside from those things your daughter is much more fortunate. Don't spoil your beloved daugh- ter's young life, Mother. --Ina St. John. * * * PAT. -- Send us your name and address and you will receive a little gift by mail.

She keeps on digging worms and laying eggs, regardless of what prognosticators say about the outlook for this or any other year. If the ground is hard, she scratches harder... If it is dry, she digs deep- er... If it is wet, she digs where it is dry ... If she strikes a rock, she works around it...If she gets a few more hours: of daylight, she gives & few more eggs. , But she always digs up worms and turns them right into hard-shelled' profits as well as tender, profitable broilers. Did you ever see a pessimis- tic hen? Did you ever hear of one: starving to death waiting for worms: to dig themselves to the surface? Did you ever hear one cackle be- cause work was hard? No indeed. They save their breath for digging: and their cackles for eggs. = Returns With Record Codfish Catch husband, on the ship, which is shown pulling into port at Anacortes, Wash., after four months in the Bering Sea, and which returned with catch of 550 tons or 309,000 codfish.
