Be- fore he left, he said we'd get Married as seem, as he could save some money. . That was two months ago, and when he was 'tome last week he didn't say anything about our future, nor do his letters tell me more, Meantime I got a job and by saving everything except food and transportation expenses I have a nice little sum in the bank. "I am awfully puzzled as to whether to wait for him ,or for- get him. We are both 19, and. I really want to get married and start our new life together, Do you think I should tell him so? He is making a pretty good sal- ary now and sends some to his family; they really don't need it, his father has a good position and I undrestand his mother has her own income, too. "I am so awfully in love— and when we're together he is as good as gold! WORRIED" • REALITY VS.

It"ie unlikely he * will disclose his plans regu- * larly, for they depend upon ▪ his success in his present po- • sition.

Right away he told me he never intends to get married, but I have fallen so hard that I be- lieve I can change that crazy idea. My parents like him a lot, but of course I haven't told them how he feels. "What can I do, Anne Hirst? Other boys ask me regularly to date them, but that is just so much wasted time.

The * more often you date him, the * dearer he will become, the * more tragic will be his leaving * you — for of course he will * leave when he finds out you * care so much. He will not * mean to hurt you, but he is * in no mood to let any girl en- " tice him to the altar. * "Wasting time'" with other * friends, will help you forget, * or at least fill your leisure so * you do not miss him so much; * cultivate them fast, and don't * leave yourself time to brood. * This is what hundreds of other * girls do to heal a lovelorn * heart, and you can, too. * * The engagement period is a time of test, and should be one of the most beautiful and ro- mantic experiences in a girl's life.

Dog In The Mirror Might Be You -.• Do dogs grow to look and be- have like their owners — or is it the other way around? Dr. Guy Daynes, a 41-year-old family doctor of Hove, Sussex, thinks it's the other way around. "Like dog, like owner — so far as temperament and even appearance go," he observed re- cently in the British journal Medical. Press. Whatever the reasons which prompt a person to select a certain breed, the longer a dog fancier lives with his pet, the more certain he is to resemble the animal, the phy- sician said. Dr. Daynes' theory, which he claims can be proved by a casual visit to any dog show, originated in his own home. "My mother's nature, generally friendly, but occasionally fierce, is a good example. She used to breed Airedales." Dr. Daynes also contends that dog owners have little effect upon the personality of their pets. His \view on this matter was scoffed' at by e, sample of well-known London 'dog fanciers. "I think dogse grow quite a bit like their owners," said. Pamela Chandler, who has photographed hundreds of dogs. "I have a Peke,"* said Barbara Cortland, author. "He is proud and independent. You might say he is like me." "I have four dachshunds and 'a Labrador retrieVer,", said Lord Northesk;' chairman ,of Cruft's, the famous- London dog show. "According to Daynes,' I should have 'a' perSonality, but In fact, I feel quite happy with both," tAittistO FROM GRACE A licensing laW in force 1n Ontario', states that it is illegal to serve beer in licensed dire= trileat the customer' Seated, This beingto, the fidensinz Board imposed a fetit=Week sus- Pension on the: Vendoine Hotel rn port Arthht atter inaPacterir had observed *titer*: serVint beer to tiistornera Who'' had fallen Off their' chair*" You folks who read this col- umn are now looking back to Christmas and the New Year season as a thing of the past. Children will be back to school and all your days .will be nicely back to normal,. Or will- ;they? Maybe you have measles in the family —,cheerful thought— but there is a lot of it around. Or it could be you have a -cow at .the 'barn- with• twin calves,' or a sow ready—to farrow, or per- haps your water supply ,has given out and you are still wor- ried about that fox you saw last week. All these things-can hap- pen — and sometimes do — in what we should regard- es per- fectly normal times. But that, of course, depends on'one's defini- tion. of what is normal, I suppose we like to, think of lts as a time when everything retne, Along smooth as silk. But how often does that happen? Life, to be normal, is 'bound to have its ups and downs, which we gradually learn to accept and take in our stride. We haven't reached that stage yet in the present season. With us although the Christmas ex- citement is behind us New Year's is just ahead, with Bob's' birthday thrown in for good measure. Of course we had a wonderful Christmas as we all congregated at Dee's place in Toronto. The four grandsons -were specially good, and man- aged to get into very little mis- chief. On our way home that night Bob drove us through Ex- hibition Park to see the decora- tions along Santa Claus Lane. They were really marvellous, far better than other years — so we were told. So, too, were the ones on. University Avenue — at the Hydro office, Sick Children's Hospital and the Parliament Buildings. There was plenty of traffic but having to crawl only meant that we had more time to see the decorations. At home our decorations were getting me down. Illuminated evergreens over the froht win- dows were shedding their needles so fast the branches were just about half bare. Finally I decided they had served their purpose . . Christmas was over and they might just as well collie down, leaving the greeting cards and table centrepiece to prolong the festive season. So now we have a reasonably tidy room. Two lovely presents from out children I must tell you about . because they are going to give me something to write about for months to come. Something I have wanted for years and now actually possess. What is it? I say "it" because the two things belong together. Nothing more or less than a bird-bath and a bird feeding station. Bob made the station himself and it is real- ly something. There was also money in an envelope to buy flower urns to match the bird- bath. The feeding station will go up as soon as Partner 'can fix up a pipe on which to mount it. The bath and urns will stay in the house until spring. We had wonderful weather over the holidays — just grand for people driving here and there visiting friends and rela- tives — or going longer dis- tances. We have neighbours either side of us • who set out for Florida on Boxing Day. One family is staying ten days and the other three months, Good weather has also made it a lit- tle easier for water-shy farmers. And there are plenty of them. Dry wells are becoming quite common, and one of the most difficult problems to deal with. Another is shipping milk. Bulk or tank shipping, is sweeping the districts between Toronto, Hamilton and Guelph. When dairies decide to "go tank" far- mers must fall in line or else be out of a market for their fluid milk. It is a worry for a small farmer to know what to do for the best. Some have quit the milk business entirely and turned to beef rather than go to the expense necessary' for ' bulk shipping, Our only livestock problem right now is Taffy. For the first time since we got him he has been sick and just wouldn't eat. If he hadn't been inoculated we might be thinking of rabies. Thank goodness we had him done. It could be I had been too busy over the holidays to give him the attention he looks lor — playing ball, taking hini -*for walks and , providing him' with bones. Perhaps it's mostly the latter as he took to chewing wood and the Children's hard rubber toys. However, he ate his breafast this - morning and is now busy chasing Ditto around, the hintse. So I guess •he Will live. Now I must get teady for company again. Nephew Klemi is coming for 'a day or two and I must meet him at Pert Credit this afterimen., A year ago today he lost his mother 'my sister Kathleen — so no doubt he is living the past all over again.

Ingredients Of A Classical Tragedy The story Out of Ventura,„ Calif,, was cast by the police in the true mold of classical trag, edy -,- in modern dress. A story of the bitterest passion, of mur- der most foul, of the innocent slain. It was a triangle — but not m th Oethemr,odaeornn h , and cia,bhTearnecl -Aweaw4 bride. By all 'odds, police were sure" the dominating, figure was the Mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Duncan, 54.' When she wanted, she could give the impression of a warm and motherly woman, but when her anger was aroused she could look as Implacable as the Me- dusa. She had been knoWn in that part of California for more than, 30 years, but when it came right down to it, no one knew mulch aliout her. She was sup- posed to have been married eight tifds, but the police were able to find records of only four marriages. She had been mar- ried in. 1951 to Gearge Satriano, 32, a typewriter repairman (he divorced her); in 1953 to Ben- jamin Y. Cogbill, a • yroung ex- Marine (he got .an annulment); in 1954 to a 27-year-old law school classmate, of her son (he got 'an annulment), ,and in 1957 to Leoriard Solenne, a Santa Bar bara contractor ( he also got an annulment). The most tragic character in the triangle was the son — Frank, now a practicing attor- ney in Santa Barbara. At 30, Frank habitually wears a serious expresgion and horn- rimmed glasses, which give him an owlish appearance; he has dark, wavy hair, stands 5 feet 5, and lisps when he gets ex- cited. Mrs. Duncan frequently went to the court to watch Frank try his cases. They would enter the courtroom hand in hand; when he made a telling point, Mrs. Duncan would 'clap her hands, The third member of the t r iang le — the innocent vic- tim — entered the ease about a year ago.. She was a pretty brunette nurse. Olga Kupczyk, 29, who worked at a Santa Barbara hospital where. Mrs. Duncan was brought for treatment for an overdose of sleeping tablets. .It was Mrs. Duncan who introduced .her son .to the girl, and thus set the stage for tragedy for Frank fell in loVe with the girl. Or, at least, she fell in love with him. They were married last June 20. No one can be certain whe- ther Frank Duncan really loved his bride, but it 'was clear after only a few weeks that Mrs. Dun- can loathed her • with all - the deadly hatred of a mother scorn-" ed. A month after the marriage, Olga w r o t e her father, Elias Kupcsiyk, at Benito in Manitoba. "All is not Well 'with Frank and me or, I should say, between Frank and I and his mother. . . . Frank's mother has lived with Frank for so long, that she has an ''uncanny' hold on him. She is a very possessive woman and has not allowed him out of her., sight."* Mrs.. Duncan had not been „told of the marriage, in advance; when she learned of it,' Olga wrote, she acted like a madwoman: "She came to the apartment and threatened to kill me and Frank . . . She cut up (Frank's birth certificate) and all his baby pictures ... She has not allowed Frank to live-bere . . . It was tragic at first, but now I don't even want him. Life is short and I want to enjoy' the, rest 'of it," There was little enough left of life for Olga Duncan, for her mother-in-law had begun to act in a way that was later to appall even the toughest policemen. _ The first thing she did, police said afterward, was to get an annulment of the marriage — without the knowledge of either her son or her daughter-in-law. • (She did this by hiring a man to pose as Frank for the* court action, etd passed' herself off 'as her own daughterin-law„) But after he found out About this, Frank Sided with his mother, Then, somehow, Mrs. Duncan got in touch with two men who would do anything, for a Price) police said, and offered them $6,000 to murder Olga. The deed was done. The two men — Augustine 13aidonado and Luis Move — confessed afterward to police ..oaaLthey lured Olga ,D,,tmcan, by nRY'f';,s,T19P months ,Pregnant our of her apartment by telling her that' her husband was waiting in a car outside, They beat her, strangled her, drove her into the country, and buried her in a shallow grave. But they had made the mis- take of renting the automobile they used, and when they brought it back, they had re- moved the upholstery to get rid of the bloodstains. This, and the fact that the car had been hired for the night , on which Olga. Duncan disappeared, point- ed to the murderers, The police arrested Baldonado and Moya; they told everything — or everything that they, as hired killers, knew about the tragic story. Last month, Mrs. Elizabeth Duncan 'and the two men were indicted by a Ventura County grand jury on a charge of mur- der. Newspapermen asked Duncan whether he would stand by his mother. "I don't know, I don't know," he cried. "I've heard so many things I just don't know. She would have to be insane to be involved in all this. My wife is dead. I could do nothing." The tragedy had come to its climax. Modern Etiquette by' Roberta Lee Q. Is mourning stationery still in general-use? A. Rarely, although it's still available for those who want it. The paper should be white with a narrow black border, ranging from a quarter of an inch to one- thirty-second of an inch in width. The wide, half-inch black bor- der, which used to proclaim deep mourning, is not used anymore. Q. When a double-decker sand- wich seems too big and, unwieldy to handle with the fingers„isn't it all right to eat it 'with' the knife and fork?' A. No; this type of "sandwich must be picked up. Only on the "open-faced" type of sandwich do you use knife and fork, Q..What ,ls.the proper, order,of recession at the conclusion of a church wedding ceremony? A. Just the reverse of how the party enters.' The' bride and bridegroom should lead, followed by the bridesmaids and the ush, pee, Q. When a woman Is paying her first call on a new neighbor, how long should she remain? A, From 15 to 20 minutes should be long enough.
