We had gone together four years, and thought I knew him through and through; yet just a month after We married he said a friend swore he saw me out with an- other man! When I denied it, he refused to believe me, "Soleil after our marriage he began getting home late, would not sit down to the dinner I had ready, and half the time put his things on again and left the house. I could fill a book with the mean little slurs he east, the arrogant way he be- haved — I love him dearly and I have done everything I knew to make him contented. My nerves are strained to the breaking point, and I feel so helpless. "I have left him. I am back with my mother. And what a changed man he is! He is just as he' was when We were dating. He takes Mother and me out to dinner as often as we'll go; he brings us theater tickets; -even drives us to church, and he hadn't gone since we were mar- ried there. I am up a tree. I am almost tempted to go home with him as he begs, yet I am holding on to my common sense. "I couldn't go through all that misery again, and I've almost decided to divorce him. (He is 49, I'm 25).

But -we've been having differences of opinion lately. "He doesn't think I care for him. How can I show him I ido without being forward? I'd like to get serious, but I know I'm young for that. "Every time we settle one thing another crops up, and.then we get mad at 'each other all, over again. I'm jealous when he talks to another girl, though he never dates any of them. Please advise me."

Though you care * for him, at your age,it la--smart * to have more than one' boy *• to' take you out; comparing * this one with others is sale- * tart' and wholesome. I advise * you to see him less frequent- * ly, and cultivate other friends. • Watch this jealousy. Boys. * soon desert a girl who gets * possessive, and you are likely * to lose him if you aren't more * careful, Why should he give * up all his other friends? If you * keep on watching every move * he makes he will grow resent- * ful, and that's the beginning * of the end. If a girl and boy your ages agree on all subjects all the time, life would be duller than you think. As you both grow up you are bound to have differences on a number of things, but if you keep your temper and don't make issues of every little argument, you'll run a better chance of holding him. The teen years brim with problems. Yours are slight compared with others. Re- member, though, there is safe- ty in numbers, and play fair. Don't• let it be said of you that you refused the one you love a second chance. No one who pro- fesses to be a Christian can af- ford to turn her back on Mich a plea.

In the sea- reaching arms of Cape Elizabeth to the west and Cape Small on the east, There are two thenrieS concerning the origin of its name. Some believe that it is a corrup- tion of the Indian Aucocisco, or Place of Herons; but I hold with these who think that the name survives from the days when the sixteenth - century Spaniard Eeeteban Gomez called it the Bahia de Casco, the Bay of the Helmet or Skull In any event it's an enormous bay, measuring about eighteen miles across the entrance, hav- ing an average width of twelve miles, and covering an area of approximately two hundred square miles. The average tide range in the bay is about ten feet. Four small but deep rivers empty into it, flowing from freshwater ponds which dot a countryside that is more rugged than that of the Western Coast, The shining stretches of white send begin to disappear here; and the' beaches are more often composed of shingle. The whole broad surface of the inderitatien is covered with islands, like a great fleet lying at anchor. It is the islands that give the bay its unique and fascinating character, They are called elle Calendar Islands, because there are 'supposed to be three uhne dred and, sixty-five of them,' or one for every day, in the, year, This is a nice tidy idea, but whoever counted them' originally must have been seeing double if not • triple. The United. States Coast-Pilot gives the number 'as one hundred and thirty-six. It really doesn't make any dif- ference* what the exact number is.

When a hostess sends *a couple an invitation to dinner, and the invitation has not been• acknowledged, what should she do? A. She can telephone this cou- ple and ask if the invitation was redeived, as it is possible that it could, have gone astray. If, however, the invitation was re- ceived, I would suggest that the hostess cut these ill-mannered persons off any future guest lists. Q. When you have been asked to pass a dish at the table, and you were just about to partake of that dish yourself, is it all right to help yourself first? A. No; this would be very crude and ill-bred, Unless, of course, the other person insists that you do so. Q. What apology should ohe offer if one accidentally- brushes against another person on the street, or in some public convey- ance? A. "I am sorry," or, "I beg your pardon." Q. When a woman is paying her first call on a new neigh- bour, how long Should she re- it-Win? A. From 15 to 20 minutes should be long enough, Usually a woman who has just moved into a: new home has plenty to do, and she might resent too lengthy a, visit, Q. Is it ever permissible for the parents of a young man who has become engaged to Make the einiouncementl A, No; only the parents'' of the bride-elect are entitled to do this, If she has ne parents, then het nearest 'relative has the pri- Q.

This Is quite in Order, arid quitefrequently done, eepedi- ally if his totetpenien seem§ un- decided: All across Ontario branches of the Women's Institute are -cele- brating the Jubilee of their tare Noe all branches s,are - observing the', occasion in the same way but a'great'many are finding it a good time to make it, a social occasion for members and their families. Possibly-the most notable gathering was at Stoney Creek, And rightly so for it was here that ,the Mother Institute came into being. On February- 19, 1897, Mr. Erland Lee gathered together a group 'of enterprising w omen •at Squire's Hall in. Stoney Creek to hear an address by Mrs: Ade- laide Hoodless, Mr. Lee had heard Mrs. Hoodless speak at the Farmer's Institute in Guelph and was much impressed by her ability and enthusiasm as she endeavoured tp create greater interest and responsibility in the women of that day in matters of health, education, home and child-care, and sanitation, so vi- tal to the welfare of all, but par- ticularly to the children. It is quite possible other wom- en in rural Ontario at that time were also aware of the need for an improvement programme, but then, as always, it required someone with courage, initiative arid selfless devotion to lead the way, Mrs Ho adios s, first through her own need, became that woman, and through,her the countrywomen in and "around Stoney Creek became pioneers in an organization to work for the betterment of "Horne and Country." It was thus the Wome en's Institute of Ontario was born. At the Commemoration Din- ner held in Stoney Creek last month 150 members, dignitaries and, guests assembled to hots- our the founders of the W.I., in- cluding five of the seven surviv- ing charter members. Congratu- lations came in from all around the world. It. Must have been a proud and inspiring occasion for the women of Stoney Creek. Only one branch in Ontario can Claim the distinction of being the first, but all brenches, whenever arid wherever situated, can be justly proud of belonging to' an organization that has developed into such a tremendous power for good among the rural 'popu- lation Of Ottariee, And not only in Ontario. Mist as a pebble thrown into a pond makes cir cies in the water ,ever-increasing in size, so the Women's Institute, by its affiliation With the Aeed- ciated Country woheeri of the. World, has increased in tteveele strength - and rinithera, Widening the seated of its influence many quarters of the World. Last Saturday o u r local branch, the Scotch Block W.L had a Jubilee turkey supper arid. let its saternbene and their eederts. According to an triteifildiel count there' Wean about eighty-Ave present, ft, It teveitty,fotir years' ago this' month since. Our branch had IFS first meeting and I am happy 'to say several of the charter mem- bers. 'were 'preterit, Our .brench has experienced the same ups and' doWns, common' to us a11,' Some previpus members moved to ..other districts;; some: have te- grettably passed away, but many, many others have come into the %id and become active mem- bers ,of our branch. Looking back over the- years it seems al- racist incredible that one- group of women could have raised so• much money, done so much work and. yet with it all had such' a wonderful .time together. During the war years we. were actively engaged in making quilts, packing bales, knitting and sewing. Now our' main proj- ect is to ,assist in the establish- ment of a local hospital, ebadly needed in this district of which the Institute is a part. All in all it was a heart-warming and most enjoyable evening. Partner and Is came away before they started playing cards as we do not take too kindly to late nights away from home, especially as we expected some of the family the next day. Came Sunday — a lovely spring-like elay—cars travelling the highway past here in a cone stant stream. Presently one turn- ed in at our gate— and the Toronto folk had arrived, They all came into the house except Dave. He amused himself out- side. After awhile Grandpa took him for, a walk across the fields and along the creek. At first all went well and then like a bolt front the blue David, said "I want to go for a swim", and headed for the creek. Fortunate-, ly Partner just managed to grab him, told him he couldn't go swimming, the water was toe cold. And then David took to the yelling "I want to go swim; ming!" It wasn't a happy occa- sion for Grandpa as Dave is a big boy for his age arid his three' - and - ae half year old strength Was greater than h i s grandfather's. But they arrived home safely, both of them a lit tie the worse for the tussle of wills, Then his Dad took Dave for a walk.• Poor little chap, he is like something let out of a cage when he gets do the coon- try and ends up by getting over., • tired. At slipper tithe he leaned his head egeinet his Dad and actually weeit to sleep. Art car- ried him to the, conch and he slept was time to ,go home.

The grim and. horrifying ritual continued until over five hun- dred lovely young girls had been eaerified—to appease the dread- ful• monsters that were thought to dwell on the bed of the death- pit. So anxious were the supersti- tious Mayans to please the aw- ful creatures believed to lurk in the depths of the well, that only the most beautiful maidens were sacrificed. Doting parents even pear 1 for their _daughters to grow into dumpty, plain girls in order that they, might escape:the notice of the temple priests who made periodic raids in search of "appeasement" for the horrible beasts they feared. To make the lovely offerings more acceptable, •each maiden was adorned with beautiful jade carvings suspended on -golden chains, heavy geld bracelets set with precious genes, bangles, an- klets and glittering eings, Historians who have studied the customs and lore pf 'the May- an people, who inhabited the Yu- , eaten peninsula of 'Mexico at about the time the Normans were concmering' Britain, are Convinced that during these sa- crificial ceremonies vast wealth was, consigned to 'the murky waters of the sacrificial well, The waters -are so deep, how- ; ever, that efforts to wrest the fabulous treasure from ,.the mud have so far; met only with 'par- tial success, and experts claim that today more than three mil- .lion dollars' worth of treasure still lies there. And a further at- tempt is to "be.made to raise the polished gold,- precious gems and carved jade that the May- ans gave to' the musters of the spit. The new 'salvage operations, n yvhich will cost about $65,000 are, being sponsored by Mexican bankers and businessmen. Hydrd- ,logists, engineers, divers and frogmen will be recruited from many countries to probe the se- crets of the well, which was found in the ruined temple of Chichen Ita in the heart of the Yucatan jungle. A connaissance dive has given rise to 'expectations that several hundred female skeletons will' be found in. the silt which is ten feet thick. These will be, con- signor to a drier burial place nearby. Much of the treasure, believed to be Still adorning the bones, will find its way to museums all over the World, for the crafts- manship of the Mayans is hailed by connoisseurs as excellent, and it is expected' that record bids will be, made for some • of the gems. s It was at the turn. of the cen- turn that the famous American archaeologist Edward ,Thompson made an attempt to recover the "treasure of the gift virgins," His finds, valued ,at over $750,- 000, rests today in Boston's Pea- body Museum, and include golden dolls, jade carvings, emerald- studded figures, gold. .discs and saerilleial knives encrusted )14tb. amethysts. Yet the experts are confident. that the main bulk of the trea- sure remains at the bottent of the well. Many contend that Thomp, son's search was to hurried end not sufficiently thorough. To. support this claim, they produce gold and jade relics recevered. by sifting the piles of silt dump- ea, by the American's search team,.
