GOSSIP HURTS "Dear Anne Hirst: How I need your advice! I have had two girl friends for four years who, I thought, were as loyal as they were fun to be with. Now they are spreading a tale of my dat- ing a married man - and they have some other pupils in my class believing it! "As though I would stoop to Such a thing! I am 16, and boys have always liked me, as well as girls. This is hurting me so! Nothing 1 have said has any effect, "I want and need the friend- ship of my classmates. 1-low can I regain it? Would it be best to forget these two, false friends and try to find others I can trust? LISA" Usually it is wise to ignore * jealous" gossip, and show by " your discreet manner that you * are above any such conduct. * But this tale could affect your * reputation among too many * other girls. I think you should * tell'Your parents, • If the girls have vno basis for 4` the story, they should be made * to admit it and apologize to * all others to whom they have * repeated it.

Postman Delivered Swarm of Bees Bee , swarms ' in .Britain, as with jellyfish, have been the biggest for many years, say naturalists. Some swarms have numbered 40,000 to 50,000 bees. Catchers of bee swarms say they rarely remember 'a busier summer. Swarms have held up traffic, made houses uninhabit- able, and have even stopped a cricket match, causing players and spectators to rush to shelter. Quite recently a swarm of bees descended on the hood of a car at Filey, Yorks. The owner,' with his surprised family sitting be- hind him, drove at sixty miles an hour to dislodge his un- wanted passengers. But twelve miles on, at Brid- lington, they were still on the car hood. He pulled up in the main street and traffic was held up while a bee-keeper removed the swarm. It took him nearly an hour to locate the queen-bee under the front axle. A swarm of bees once invaded the bedroom of a honeymoon couple and could not be re- moved until two hours later be- cause the nearest bee-keeper lived many miles away. Before the war a West of England town found that bees were swarming go freely there that it had to appoint a time official to look after theni- the only man in the country with such an appointment. He had to deal with swarms which had stopped clocks, Street cars and railway signals. In a Sussex village a man saw a swarm of bees enter apillar- box in front of his house. As he chanced to be a bee-keeper, he sent for the village postman: to unlock the box, intending. to dein the swarm under an ancient 'bee law dating back centuries, But the postman argued that everything found hi the pillar briar belonged to the Postmaster- General,• It Was only alter tile village constable had been called that the postman reluctantly agreed - to "deliver" the, bees to the bee-keeper, The other day at Bridlington- seven children were chased by svvarkil bf angry bees for Mere than' a HRONICLES z_ _ INGE It FAR 14 cywmagmr. 0 cle,ekt 'This is the weather I , warm 'days and cool- nights, but net so cool 'that we need to light the Ifni:nape.

'People eorinesin and -.exelairn "Oh. how nice' to.lave a fire in the kitchen and ,a wood fire .'at. that," Sure it's nice but how many people have. sacrificed the old, kitchen' stove for the heat, cold comfort 'of an electric, range'?

A. kitchen stove ;doesn"ti 'arrive a win- ter's supply.ol.,,fuel, Partner has bon Sawing, and chopping wood for weeks:, and`had quite a pile stacked up. The way that pile has decreased is amazing,' . First thing we know, we shall have 'to start on coal. So far we have escaped a killing night frost - for I am very 'thankful as there is still work to do in the 'garden. And do you know what? We are still eating green beans and even a few strawberries. The beans are more luck than good man- agement. Early in the season 'we were too generous with the bug- death and almost burnt the beans. Later they came to life, grew like - weeds and so now, when most people have forgotten what they taste like, we are enjoying a late crop. And the strawber- ries? They are the ever-bearing variety from a few plants brought me by a reader of this column last spring. Knowing I would not be here to lohk after them I handed them over to Joy to plant in her garden. ± They have done, remarkably well and every time for the last few weeks that Bob and Joy have come up they have brought us a few ber- ries. Not many, as I think there are only four roots. But of course they put out runners, which Joy 'transplanted, so next year there should be• quite a number of 'plants. The same reader brought. me some deep yellow wallflowers -i just top' convince me that wall- flowers will 'grow in, Ontario. These grew all right.= -and 'the plants • area blooming yet.' But here's the $64 question. One day we had Old Country friends vis- iting here. and with much pride I said ."See my English wall- flowers?" "These yellow ones? - They're net English wallflowers. That Variety is known as the Siberian Wallflower." Well; English or Siberian, they are very nice, Actually I saw some just like mine over in -Eng- lang but I also saw the kind' that I had had, in mind - sweet• scented, rich brownish-red in colour, and with petals like velve,t, Isn't this a grand time at year? Leaves, burnished with the lovely shades pf autumn and the air cool and, bracing. Don't you just wish it would last for weeks and weeks? The sun, so bright and warm, and then, sink- ing to rest, it leaves behind lovely glow which premises an- other good day on the morrow However busy we are we should take time "to stand and stare," Of course, if you are working outside you can't miss it anyway, Last E,riday I spent nearly the whole day lifting geranium roots and cuttings. Some of them were slipped and well-root- ed in August. Others were quite new, The parent plants had grown so much the last few weeks I thought I would take a chance and plant .a few more slips. It seemed a shame to waste thein. Isn't it 'a problem know what to do With plants in full bloom?

Just imagine, if, instead, we got the jitters over the Stock market. because of President Eisen bower's . unfortunate illness, We pride ourselves about the North American continent being demo- cratie and yet, although prob- ably not personally concerned, the illness of one man almost creates a panic, Even if we live.

COMPROMISE A hunter with a big gun, goes a current legend, met up with a bear that had no gun at all. But the bear had claws -- and wit - and refused to concede defeat. He asked the hunter. "What are you looking for?" "A fine fur coat," said the hunter. "Me, I'm looking for breakfast," declared the bear. "What do you say to coming to my nice warm den and talking over our pros- pects?" So they went to the den and. worked out a satisfactory com- promise, The bear, emerging solo from the' den; had enjoyed a splendid breakfast, 'and the, hunter was wrapped up in a fine fur coat.
