that they would be better 'far-

STRANGER'S PROBLEM
"Dear Anne Hirst: A few
months ago, I married the friend
of a relative whom I had visited,
My family are in Europe, and
I brought along my little girl
from a previous marriage. I had
known about the man before I
arrived, and thought I was for-
tunate that we fell in love. But
things are so different from
what I expected I
"My new husband professed
to love my little girl, but after'
we moved to his new place of
business, he changed completely,
Now he actually shuns her, and
treats me almost with scorn. I
do not understand this, and I
am very unhappy. I know no-
body here, and this makes me
hesitate to try to make friends.
"Unless my husband is wor-
ried about business, I cannot ac-
count for this grave change. I
am really frightened — for I
find. I am going to have his
baby, and I don't know how he
will take the news. My relative
lives in another state, and I do
not wish to confide such a thing
to anyone anyhow. Can you ad-
vise me?
REGINA"
* I hope you will tell your
* husband about the baby im-
* mediately. Knowing he is to
* be a father himself should
• make him kinder to you and
* your little girl, Canadian men
▪ often spoil their wives, feel-
* ing (mistakenly) that they
* should be shielded from war-
* ry; this I do not agree with,
• but if anything is bothering
* your husband, that, is prob-
* ably why he has not discussed ▪ it. At any rate, remind him
* that what ever affects him is
* your problem, too, and ask

I hope you will do so at

LOUISA ALCOTT'S "LITTLE
WOMEN" LIVE IN 'MANY
HEARTS
When Louisa M. Alcott's "Lit-
tle Women" was first published
in 1868, she could not have
dreamt that it would become as
well known throughout the
world as any of Shakespeare's
plays. Millions of copies have
been sold and it has been trans-
lated into 15 foreign languages.
Perhaps "Little Women" seems
so true to life and experience
and makes such a universal ap-
peal because the author used
her own family as the basis for
her book. Meg, joe, Beth and.
Amy are almost exact photo-
graphs of the four Alcott sis-
ters. They are part of a warm,
close-knit family group, strug-
gling with poverty, but meeting
their problems together and
making their aown fun. Their
story makes a real work of art
which is a thoroughly enjoy-
able book in every way.
