I couldn't take him into anyone's house after that—and what the inside of my par was like I will leave you to imagine. Rabble didn't like it any better than 'I did as he is a dainty little 'clog and hates to get his feet wet, He was also very hurt because= he wasn't allowed to visit in the house, So you see what I mean— dogs,can get into mischief just as easily as children.

TWO scored a 11.41N-eye The third was. so nervpus that he missed the target altogether, Turning to him, the girl said stithout hesitation: "Al right. .I'll marry you," And the did!' Two young couples living in France arranged a quiet double wedding in a village church.. While driving to the ceremony the two brides-to-be were in-, jured in a collision, a slight op- eration being necessary in' each case, But they insisted oil` being married first and the joint cere- mony took place while they lay on the operating tables. At a merriage in Manchester,' the bride' exchanged her Chris- tian name for the surname of her groom,. and 'her Own surname for this Christian name. In other words, Miss Rose Charles be- came Mrs. Charles Rose. A Rumanian peasant was "married", in 1,089 to the letter- box in which his deed, fiancee had posted her last letter to hint six 'Weeks earlier. A year later a builder erecting. a house applied to the post office for permission to remove it as it was "in the way." The postmas- ter refused, saying: "The box is sacred."

We had a tench of frost last week; net' enough to do any real harm but enough to get everyone worried about their gardens—just in case. Now the danger seems to be past' and we can prepare ourselves to enjoy Indian summer, the maple trees already having taken on a reddish hue. By present appear- ances it looks as if we should have a beautiful, colourful fall. There is plenty of sap in the trees so the leaves should stay on the trees longer than they did 'last year. We had a desidedly dry fall then, if you remember. The leaves dropped quickly and ,there was little of the lovely col- catingtwelassociate with the fall tee sons This year the story should be different. Another thing we are noticing . . . squirrels!

How wrong she wee! She had obviously never heard of the ardent young Italian who, tak- ing a Ara through, a street in Rome, saw a dark-eyed beauty of eighteen whom he at once decided was the girl of his dreams. Some men would have thought it other a snag that the girl was already in the com- pany of :an admirer, an air force cadet, but, not Our Italian. Ife was far too infatuated to worry about a detail like that! He had. Made up his mind', that she , would be his wife! lie followed 4' them until they parted tenderly et the' door of the, girl's home, Next evening he hired a car and, going to the girl's home, he pulled up and waited, At seven the girl appeared, So did her sweetheart, who was just about to greet her on the corner with a 'kies when the Italian put in an apPearance. He drove alongside them, ,junlp'ed nut of the car, knocked ;• the Cadet' out and bundled the ,scared girl into the car, Then he drove.off at breakneck speed. "I am taking you to a but in the' woods where you Will be well cared for,"-he told the girl. "You won't be able to leave un- til you have promised to marry me." • The gill began to struggle and scream:. The car swerved into a ditch, but the Italian drove along it, forcing 'the car back on to the road and con- tinning the nightmare journey. They reached the hut as dusk fell — after the girl had been quietened by a blow on the head, He had just carried her into the hut when some police, ac- companied by the air force cadet, rushed in, The cave-man suitor was arrested. That Italian is now in pris- on, but other wooers who have resorted to similar caveman methods of "getting their wo- man" have been more success- ful, In Nevada, a rich young busi- nessman fell violently in Jove with a shapely young brunette who called at his office with some ' documents froth her em- ployer. "You are truly lovely and I want you 'to be my bride,"- he told the surprised girl. At first she thought he was joking. But when he locked 'the ;Office door and told her he would not let her out until She agreed to marry him, it was obvious that he was in, deadly earnest. .• "I am a man • with an iron. will," he told her, "and' I" always have my way.
