How To Turn a Child Into a Delinquent 1. Begin at infancy to give the child everything he wants, Be will then grow up to believe that the world. owes him a living. 2. Never give him any spirituel, training, Wait until he is twenty- one, and let him decide for him- self. A.void using • the word "'wrong," It may develop a guilt complex. This will condition him later to believe, when he is ar- rested for stealing a ear, that so- ciety is against him and • he is being persecuted. 4. Pick up everything he leaves around — books, shoes, clothes. Do everything for him, so he will be experienced in throwing all responsibility on others, 5, Let him read any printed matter he can get his hands on. Be careful his cup and plate are sterilized, but garbage. let his mind feed o 6. Quarrel frequently in the presence of your child, In this Way he will not be shocked when the home is broken up later. 7. Give him all the money he wants. Never let him save or earn any. Why should he have things as tough as you did? 8, Satisfy his every craving for food, drink and comfort. See that every. desire is gratified. Denial may lead to harmful frustration. 9, Take his part against neigh- bours, teachers and policemen. They are all prejudiced against your child. 10, When he gets into real trouble, apologize for yourself by saying: "I never could do any- thing with him," From "Tit-Bits" Modern Etiquette By Anne Ashley Q.

A Dutch Princess Gets Team Of Ponies My first pony-carriage, in Which we drove through the park, L can hardly remember, but on the other hand I have a very vivid recollection of my wild joy and excitement at the prospect of the Shetland ponies. One day in late autumn Father suddenly announced that I was f oing to have them, no less than our in number. At last they were to arrive. It was already dark when Mother and I went out to meet them, listening intently for the sound of their hooves on the road. What a long time it seem- ed! Finally they came. They were taken straight to the stables, where a warm bed of straw was awaiting them. Next day I had to give them names, The roan I called Brow- nie, the black-headed one Puck, the black was to be known as. Blackie and his friend the bay becaine Baby. Baby was my first riding horse. He lived to an ad- vanced age. . When I was about sixteen I was taught by our old coachman to drive them four-in-hand; this new art I later applied to a four- in-hand of full-sized horses Mo- ther had given me. Baby always accompanied us on our walks, as Grisette had done before; when I became tired I was put on his back and practiced a little trot or gallop ... At the same time I received riding lessons in the outdoor rid- ing school, When that became too monotonous, one of the gen- tlemen of the entourage accom- panied me on that old giant Pan- talon (my father's last riding horse); he held my mount by the leading-Tein but Baby, who was not devoid of a sense of humour, manoeuvred in such a way that lie and his rider passed back and forth under Pantalon's head all the time. This made the leading-rein completely useless and a cob had to be bought who could not play at this game, — Prom "Lonely But Not Alone," by Her Royal Highness Wilhel- mina Princess of the Netherlands. 0 L Isel etwzgl.oLottn,t D C145-elt.a Until tonight I had almost forgotten how gorgeous a sunset could be. In summer we don't see much colour in the sky. To- night the Turneresque sky almost compensated for the cool weath- er that is coming our way — al- though we haven't had a black frost yet. However, gay sky or grey, haven't had time to look at it just lately — nor shall I for the next three weeks, It is, and has been, just one thing after anoth- er, Last Tuesday the opening dinner-meeting of the Toronto Press Club — and we had a wonderful time. Good dinner, good program and the best pos- sible company. I had one little disappointment that was entirely my own fault, At dinner each person found a glorified surprise packet on her bread and butter plate, presented with the com- pliments of the various travel agencies and containing small items necessary when travelling. . . flight slipper-socks, luggage tags, fans, notebooks and pencils and wonderful little cigarette lighters. Flight bags were. also awarded as prizes for various amusing contests. I took great care of my grab bag until the party was over — you know how everyone gets a thrill out of get- ing something for nothing. In- fantile — but there it is. I was going to stay overnight at Dee's so I took my overnight bag up to the club rooms to change my shoes. Dee called for me and in telling her about my delightful evening I said — "Just wait 'tit we get home and I'll show you what was given to us!" We were home in half an hour. I imme- diately opened up my bag . but — there was no surprise packet! I knew then I must have put it down when I changed my.. shoes and forgot to pick it up. Was I disappointed . . and mad at myself! 1 Next morning I took an early bus home and by ten o'clock I was up to my eyes in pickles. I did up what I had on hand and then after dinner I went to the store and bought everything nec- essary for making a batch of mustard pickle. And here is a hint — if you haven't already tried it. When cutting peppers and onions wear a pair of rubber gloves and eliminate the danger of rubbing a peppery fist into your eyes. If you have ever done it you don't need me to tell you it can be very painful, Wearing gloves also saves carrying the smell of pickles around with you for the rest of the week. Friday was "clean-up" day. Saturday we all went to Milton Fair. All except Art. He was busy so brought Dee and the boys this far and they carne on with us. We had lunch with Bob, Joy and our two other grandsons before proceeding to the Fair, It was the first time since Christ- mae we had "enjoyed" our five grandsons all at one time. Be- lieve me, we couldn't hear our- selves think! They had to be kept in the house because had we let them loose in. the back- yard, in less than an hour they wouldn't have been fit to be seen. Milton Fair is always good — we should know, 'we have been going to it for over thirty-five years. And as usual part 'of the fun was seeing the people, Part- ner had a happy time renewing farming acquaintances. One time he was talking to a an *who used to do out` early thrashings 'with a steam-powered thresh- ing outfit, for which, year after year, Partner had to have a staek Of wood ready and waiting to feed its hungry maw', After awhile Partner and I got tired of tramping around so we left boa and the boys to go their own Way and we went on to the grand-:, etertd. ,As we took but leate said to Partner — "Do you re- member years ago when we used to look longingly at the grand- stand but couldn't afford to pay our way in?" Partner remember- ed only too well, Sitting next to me on the grandstand was a farmer's wife I :had known fora good many yeaes. She reminded inc of some- thing I had written in this col- umn a long while ago. She had. taken part in seine sort of page- ant and in describing the event I had said she looked so much like Queen Victoria! She did not take the paper in which this col- umn appeared but someone had sent it to her. So you see how news travels! Even more sign- ificant was the fact that this lady's grandmother — unknown to me — had also bean described as bearing a striking resemblance to Queen Victoria. Today I have been working like mad — cleaning windows, venetian blinds and fixing up the spare room ready for Partner's sister Queeniie who is coming from England on one of those 17- day excursions tomorrow, We shall meet her at Mallon bat she won't be here very long as she has relatives to visit in Deep River, Renfrew, Ottawa and north Toronto — if she can stand the pace. She is several years older than Partner but fortunate- ly has been used to travellinn — mostly in Europe. Partner ha n't seen her for .twelve years but was with her for two days dur- ing my visit-to England in '55.

She was too shy to give the photographers her name, She Wasn't Invited To The Funeral The year was 1917 and a fe- verish wartime gaiety reigned in New York City. The Ziegfeld Follies was in full swing on 42nd Street. Two new comedians were the talk of the town: Will Rogers and Eddie Cantor. And in the front of the chorus danced a girl of 17, with golden hair and perky features. Her name was Marion Cecilia Douras, She call- ed herself Marion Davies, Night after night, week after week, a bulky man of 54, with a great pale face and hollow eyes, sat in-one of the best seats. The seat beside him was always empty, except for his hat. His name was William Randolph Hearst and' Ire was the most flamboyant newspaper publisher of the day. He was a power in politics, as well. Some thought he might well become President. Such was the beginning of one of the extraordinary romances of the century. Hearst never be- came President. And Marion „ Davies never became Mrs. Hearst, But the relationship be- tween them lasted for 32 year's in the course of which the pub- lisher heaped upon the chorus girl an opulence of gifts — in- cluding movie stardom — such as bedazzled few if any of his- tory's famous mistresses, He built her a fabuolus mansion all her own. His gifts ran into mil- lions — and in later years, when . Hearst was in deep financial 'trouble, and when no bank Would touch him, she loaned him back a cool million without note or interest. Other millions she showered on charities, She was the daughter of an obscure New York politician, one Bernard 3, Douras, who' rose to police magistrate (and was ever after described in t h e Hearst press, by order, as Judge Dour- as). Brought up in Brooklyn with four sisters, she left a convent school for the stage while still in her mid-teens. Her first big break came from Ziegfeld. Her second came from Hearst and she never needed another. Hearst sailed Marion into the movies tender all the billowing canvas of his newspaper chain. Her first starring picture, a mild domestic drama called "Cecilia of the Pink Roses," appeared in the summer of 1518, Hearst Lae- tics hailed her with adjectives that might have made even. Sarah Bernhardt blush. Other critics managed to restrain them- selves with no trouble at all. Not even the dourest of non- Hearst critics could deny that Marian Davies was a young wo- man of singular appeal. And at least seine of the warmth and humour that endeared her to friends • came across on the screen, "When Knighthood Was in Flower" and "Janice Mere- dith" were among the films that carried her to stardom's top ranks. When talkies came, many thought that Marion's stutter — part of her off-screen charm — would be her downfall. But she went on to make „half a dozen more pictures, "Page Miss Glory" and "Cain and Mabel" being among the last. All this while she was play- ing chatelaine to Hearst at fabu- lous San Simeon, his estate of some 400 square miles near Los Angeles, Among their guests, who often sat 40 strong with the gold plate and the paper napkins, were Bernard Shaw and Winston Churchill. The talk was good — but in later years, two topics were taboo, One was liquor, of which Hearst disapproved and of which Marion — it was no secret — w a s growing increasingly fond. The other was death, of which Hearst was growing in- creasingly fearful. Hearst died in the summer of 1951. It was in another home he shared with Marion in Beverly Hills, She had been sitting with him, most of the night but had finelly gone to bed, When she awoke, Hearst's bedroom was empty. Two of le i s sons had come with an undertaker and re- moved the body. "I asked where he was," Mar- ion said afterward, "and the nurse saidehe was dead, He was gone, whoosh, like that, Old W.R. was gone, the boys were gone, I was alone. Do you realize what they did? They stole' a possession of mine, He belonged to me. I loved him for 32 years and now he was gone. I couldn't even say good-by," She was not limited to the funeral.
