''Dear Anne Hirst:
I know you Will think me im-
pulsive when I tell you I've
been married three years and
am on the verge of leaving my
husband. Not until we came
back from our honeymoon did
I learn what a dreadful temper
he had, nor dream he could even
show physical cruelty. I soon
learned I dare ,not disagree with
him over the slightest thing; he
shouts and curses, and he has
struck me more than once. He
is the most opinionated man I
ever knew, always right, He
makes me feel like a worm.
Well, the worm is about to turn,
"To give him his due, he is
in some ways a good man. He,
loves our baby, and sometimes_
he seems proud of me, too He
works hard, and provides weal,
but material comforts aren't all
there is to marriage, For the
baby's sake, I have felt I had
to stay married, but I can no
longer love a man who is cruel.
If I thought he would ever
change, I'd take the chance; but
now that I see his real nature,
I are actually afraid to stay with
him.
"I am only 23, arid in good
health. If I had to, I could make
s living for me and the baby,
[1\1:.v- father would help.) Shall
I leave now? Or try to recall
the nice things he does for us,
and let him treat me as he
pleases? ON THE VERGE"

You are old enough to be, a
grandfather, and' you want to'
marry' a 15-year-old child, to
live with you and your bro-
ther, 70.
Dontt be, "worried", as you
say! Tell the pastor of your
church-that you crave to wreck
the life of a child.
Jefferson David wrote, "Old
fools are too' dumb to teach

Don't be a fool, unless on
your pastor's advice.

If you find yourself married
to a man who concealed his real
nature, do something about it.

QUICK SERVICE
The airline information clerk
sat at his desk and, when the
'phone rang, picked it up, with a
cheery "Hello."
A woman's voice said: "I am
flying.by jet airliner from Lon-
don to South Africa—how long
will the journey take?"
"Just a minute," Said the cour-
teous clerk, as he reached across'
. the desk to get the time-table
that would give the information,
"Thank you," replied the wo-
man, as she hung up.
Is there anyone who reads this
column thinking of buying a
'ouse? If so here is a tip I pick-
ed up yesterday. In making' an
,offer: to purchase. have your
lawyer include the, following
condition. "I' offer' to purchase
said property subject to satis-
factory reports following inspec-.
*lion by` plumbing and electrical
- inspectors". This suggestion was
-offered by a man who had been
called in .by friends of ours to
see what was wrong with, their
septic bed. The weeper-tile area
is always •swampyvas the surface .
water doesn't get away properly.
The Plumber said' it was, due to
the heavy- clay soil riot providing
proper ,drainage. He added that
if a man is building • his own
house'and knows thezoil is heavy
he would-be well advised to have
the tile trenches filled in with
sand. Never knowing what we
might run into ourselves we
were very interested in finding
out all we could. So far we
haven't had any trouble.
Well, there is a nice breeze
this morning and I am sitting,
cn our back patio, enjoying it.
It has been a hot week and the
lawns and gardens are looking
very thirtsy again., Playing under
the trees is a ,wee black squirrel
—the first I have seen. Hope
he stays around as squirrels are
fascinating little creatures to
watch — a change "from cats,
dogs and rabbits. Probably I
shall have a few bird stories to
tell later on as I have discovered
there is a bird, sanctuary near
here that I didn't know about
until yesterday. That I must
visit. I -am also wondering if
there is a secluded spot near the
lake within easy driving distance,
where we could picnic. I suppose
the only 'way to find., out is to go •
exploring. I have been disap-
'pointed in the Port Credit area.
There' 'it is, right on the ,lake
shore and •no place to enjoy' it.
That is, as 'far as we 'know at
present. We' are not lOoking.for
a beach — just,a shady spot with
cool brutes off the lake = but
without a long hot drive to get
to it,
From where I. am sitting I can
see the cars whizzing by along
the Dundas — so many cars —
apparently there are many
people who don't mind hot
clriveS. Yes, so many shining,
streamlined ears, We very rarely
set a jalopy any more, And such
pretty. colors, making a never-
ending splash Of brightness
against the background of trees
along the highway.
In the immediate foreground
Partner Is out digging, in the
garden, He wants a bigger gar-
den next year — more space be-,
tween the rows. And iris ori the
edge, the full length est the vege-,
table garden. That is in re-
sPonte to an urgent request,
Partner doesn't like iris. NO
rides Bob. They say it takes up
too fritieh room arid lasts stich,a
short While. And collects weeds.
But I like iris se Partner don-
Ceded — "Alt tight, you can have
,your iris if yOtt want them, but
instead of cluttering bp the
flower beds we'll have a whole
row along the edge of the vege-
table garden." That suits me
fine. I don't care where they
are just so long as I have them.
The perennials 'are giving us
lots_of bloom just now and the
perfume after sundoWn is just
.grand •—• mostly from petunias,
r.icotines and stocks. And yet
we, never see a humming- bird.
They were flitting around' quite.
often at Ginger Farin.
Our Toronto family came \ in
last night and' the three boys
were in great form. Was late
when they arrived — too dark to
play outside. " But that didn't
worry them. They made a, bee-
line for the hall cloSet where
we keep a small wagon and the
lest of their toys. •They pile
floor and play happily until it
them all on' to the .1iVingroarn
is time to go hoMe. They never
ask to take any of the toys away
with them. Somehow their little
minds must, reason things out,
know-the toys are meant to stay
here and will be waiting for
them next time they come:
The above' was written on. Sat-
urday. They 'came' Sunday and
our Toronto family packed us,
the boys, a lunch and. Honey into
their car and we went for a ,
drive to Eugenia Lake, away the
other side of Flesherton. At one:
point between Flesherton and
Shelburne we saw a sign which
read "1700 feet above sea level".
No wonder the air is so fresh
and. cool ;in that di •trict. I be-
lieve it is supposed to be the
highest ,point in this part of
Ontario. Dee and Art are be-
, ginnig to feel the need of a like

Q. is it proper, when cheeks
have been received as wedding
gifts, to display them with the
other gifts?
A. Ordinarily it is in very bad
taste to display gifts of money.
However, if there are a number
of checks received, You may
properly display them with the
amounts concealed. This can be
cone' by, laying • them under a
parte. of glass, one above the
other, so that only the signatures
are revealed --- using an envel-
ope to cover the amount of the
top check.
Q. When a woman drops some
article on the street and' a
stranger picks it up for her, what
should she say?
A. A pleasant "thank you", ac-
companied by a smile, is suffi-
cient.
Q. Should the used silverware
be gathered up before removing
the plates from the dinner table?
A. No; the silver should be left
on the plates, and all removed
from the table together.
Q. When are `11nformals" prop-
erly used in correspondence?
A. The "informal" is a fold-
over card, and may be used for
any short note—for sending and
replying to invitations, for en-
closing with a gift, and so• on.
This type of 'card is not proper,
however, as a letter of con-
dolence.
