on her furpiece—because it may run away. The little animal
which drapes so well was identified by the Animal Rescue Lea-

strange little animal which is native to the warm regions be-

°Dear Anne Hirst: I am ter-
ribly in love with a, schoolmate
whom I've dated. since I was
18, four years ago. He has not
preposed, but gives me the idea
he isn't interested elsewhere,
tie never makes a date ahead,
rust comes without even tele-
phoning, Be travels for a living
but write me every week.
"Meantime a, man of 30 has
fallen in love with me. He
treats me with the highest l'%•-•,
pact, makes me feel I am im-
portant, We are very compat-
ible; he is talented and respect-
ed and hes a fine income. If I
thought my boy friend didn't
intend to marry me, I think I
could fall in love again. We've
been going out for just, three
Months, but he assures me I am
his ideal and wants me to mar-
ry him. My family have known
him' for years, and they encour-
age his attentions,
"How can I test the. boy I'm
so in love with?' I've just got
to know where I stand. After
all, I am not a teen-ager and
the years are passing fast!
WORRYING",
* You are in this spot today

* be seeing other girls, too, for
* all you know. I realize you
* allowed him to be so high-
* handed because you were
* afraid you'd lose him, and
* do not wonder he has taken
* advantage of it.
* After four years 'of dates,
* he has become a habit with.
* you. I am not convinced you
* "care terribly" for him, or the
* idea of falling in love with
* anyone else would be, at
* least, distasteful.

* would be a poor risk; he
* would continue to
* make the rules and you
* would contnie to obey them.
* You may not mean as much
• to him as you hope, you
* know; after four years he
* hasn't even asked you to be
* engaged. You may be to him
* only the girl who was, con-
* veniently, always available;
* that attitutde is a poor excuse

FRANTIC MOTHER
"Dear Anne Hirst: The father
of my baby deserted me four
yeras ago, Then, I married a man
who said he would be good to
my child, but he has broken
every promise he made. He mis-
treats the boy so often that the
baby fears him; and because of
this he and I quarrel almost
every day. His temper is vile;
he has,even struck me, Of
course, e never takes me out
anywhere.
"The baby was with me at my
mother's until I married. (My
parents have been wonderful
about everything) . I hoped
so much for a good home for
the child, but after six months
of married life I am ready to
give up. A beast doesn't change
his nature. MARCIA"
* Go back to your parents.
* Your father will find out
* whether you have grounds for
* divorce.
* There is no future for you
* nor your baby with this man,
* and, of course,• you have to
* think of your child first. He
* must have a secure home
* where love abides, and your
* mother's house is the only
* present refuge for him.
* I am so sorry!

VACATION JOYS
A woman went to stay with
a friend in a rather primitive
cottage. As she was preparing
to retire, the hostess appeared
at the door. "If you should want
anything that you h q•sen't got,"
she said, "just ask for it. We
can easily show you how to do

Sari (pronounced Cherie)
popped up from her desk, black
curls bobbing, full-skirted dress
blossoming above slender, legs
encased in ballet stockings. Sbe
seized a piece of chalk, danced
up to the blackboard and care-
fully drew the letter "I" in front
of 'an" already there, and then
made a "d" to form the word
"land," Eagerly she looked at
her teacher for approval.
First-grade0' Sari was learning
to spell, Bight after classes were
over, however, she was antici-
pating a ballet lesson. There was
no time between to change, so
. ballet stockings and full
dress came to school.
Upstairs in the 'library; a teen-^
alter whose dramatic dark
beauty needed no assistance had
emphasized her eyes with mas-
cara and eye-shadow, She'
looked up, startled, es our entry
disturbed her absorption in a
school book she was studying
during the luncheon recess.
To no one but an uncondi-
tioned reporter would these two
pupils have seemed unusual
at the Professional Children's
School on. West 60th Street, New
York, because students there
often sit at their desks in stage
or practice costume,
These two ,girls illustrate the
fact that somewhere along the
line, quiz kids, models, youthful
musicians, child actors stealing
the limelight from veterans, and
youngsters advertising candy on
TV have to get educated. It's
not enough to devote a full day
to violin practice, drama re-
hearsals, singing, or modeling.
Another full day must go into
learning the three R's, and be-
ing able to prove to the satis-
faction of the law, that -these
essentials have been mastered.
In these days of compulsory
education this quandary might
have delayed the debut of many
a promising young artist; -had
it not been for the Professional.
Children's School, once known
as "Broadway's Little Red
Schoolhouse."
Because the Schobr' eibSrs,
world-figure-skating - .charriPion-
Carol . Reiss, her sister Nancy,-
brother 'Bruce, concert pianist, -
Walter Miser actor Brandon de
Wilde, and Jnanyothers, are
able to get 'their academic train-
ing without holding up their
professional careers. The School
has solved worse problems 'than
that, too.- Take Deirdre as an
example. She is angther ballet
dancer, a slight, fairylike figure.
She came to 'the School miser-
ably unhappy, 'from trying 'to
keep up with work in •an ordi-
nary school t and • still.• devote
time to, her-dancing lessons and
practice.. Within„a .month or
two, studying with' other young
professionals, she Was a normal
happy youngster, taking great
gulps of learning between 10
and 2 daily, and spending the
rest of her time dancing, writes
Nora E. Taylor in The Christian
Science Monitor.
Since there are only 24 hours
in each day, the answer to this
dual problem has to be concen-
tration. It means hard work, of
course. Children with, an eye on
the spotlights, though, tend to
be exceptionally bright, or so
the School's founders believed.
They can cope with the concen-
trated teaching given in the
brief school day, as well as put.
ting in many hours on their
chosen art.
These young artists absorb
their academic educ a t i on
through grades 1-12, and still*
go on to hold honored places in
colleges, and sometimes in nat-
ural science as .well as creative
arts fields, The apparent facility
with which they do it raises
questions, The answers could
open up interesting fields of
study for those who search out
ways to induce the average
child to study harder and to en-
joy doing so,
Some pupils, 'appearing in a
play, or training intensively for,
say, an upcoming figure-skating
contest, stay away from school
temporarily. When this is, due to
occur, teachers work out a cor-
respondence system whereby
the absentees receive their les-
sons in Monday mornin's mail,
and return them completed on
Friday, each week. This keeps
them pretty well in line with
their Classmates, and when they
return a little special coaching
smooths out any rough spots.
You just can't please every-
body. Driving back and forth
along the concession roads 'all
last week; noticing .the dryness
of the sown fields,. where, in
most cases not a ssprout of grain
was showing, we thought how
wonderful it would be if •we
could -have one, day of honest,.
to-goodness rain.. And' then,
starting Thursday a-fternoon we
got it: It rained ” nio'st of "Fri,'
day, you remember — a gentle,
penetrating rain, swelling the
grain and causing' the tender
green sprouts to shoW "above"
the ground: Gardens, too; wel-
comed the moisture. And so
w h a t happened? Saturday
morning we listened to Wally
Crouter's early morning fore-
cast . . "T h e weatherman
promises an end to this wet,
miserable weather by tomor-
row and 'we may ,-•-e we just
may, if we're lucky' have a
fine week-end!" So' there you
have it — office-bound people
working within doors all week
long for fine 'weather to enjoy
the week-end. Farmers and
gardeners working outside most
of the time don't care when it
rains, just so long as the rain
comes when it is most needed.
We welcomed the rain too —
for the few shrubs and peren-
nials we had transplanted
from Ginger Farm. But we
have one big border here which
the rain doesn't touch at all.
Another case of advantages and
disadvantages, This border is
in front of the living-room win-
dow and under a roof projec-
tion that measures exactly six
feet. Planters either side of the
front entry are also under the
eaves. When we first saw this
house we loved the projecting
roof. We knew the windows
would let in plenty of light
without the direct glare of the
sun. We never thought of the
flower beds not getting any
rain. So now, every other day,
it's out with the hose, hail, rain
or shine. Fortunately there are
no restrictions about watering
as we have our own well, and
we hope — an adequate wa-
ter supply.
Already we are ,pleasantiy
surprised with our one-acre lot.
Today I found enough aspara-
gus for dinner, growing here
and there among' the grass,

neighbour told us this used, to
be Market-garden land so I
suppose the few scattered roots
,are what is loft of an asparagns
bed, Most of the lawn is self
sown so' naturally it is a little
rough and well sprinkled with
dandelions. We have a double
garage and a good wide drive-
