As yet he has only a little hair, medium brown, and his eyes are big and dark. A happy little fellow, he didn't even object to being Wakened for this picture, and treated the photdgrapher to his cheerful smile. Harvey is relaxed and contented, Very good-na- tured. He enjoys people- and delights in attention from children. He needs parents who will not be worried by his slight prematurity. or by limited information on his background. To. inquire about adopting Harvey please Write to Today's Child, Department of SoCial and Fami-' ly Services, Parliament 13uildings, Toronto ' 182.

I'm still paying for articleS I gave away weeks ago. I bought these things (mostly junk) becanse they appealed .to me at the moment.

Just a line or two in your column would be, greatly appreciated. — THE EAST OF THE BIG SPENDERS cornpulsive buyer, Lady. This means your passion to purchase is bigger than your ability ,to control a. The only solution is to close your charge accounts and burn your charge plates. I further suggest that you carry Very- little cash and no checkbook. If you see something you think you can't live without ask the sales person to put it away. Tell her you'll phone tomorrow and .request that she either hold the purchase or put . it back in stock. Chances are you'll have loSt intrest Within 24 hours. If not, you can return to the store and look at the item one more time and then decide. DEAR ANN LANDERS: Pleasse settle an argument.

DEAR VA.: The solution is simple indeed, compared With the trouble .that could result froth -one unexpected attack. I hope your letter will jolt some of my readers into action. DEAR ANN LANDERS: Why do mothers feel hurt if their young children don't cry when they leave them? If you think, I am crazy, just watch some of your friends in action. Or, better still watch yourself. A couple we know always has this trouble. Whenever they go out for an evening their kids cry and scream and everyone gets upset. I couldn't understand why — so last night I observed carefully and learned the reason. The mother said, "We're leaving now. Be good children." The kids' faces began to get long. Instead of leaving she stood there and thought of additional instructions for the sittei..Then again, "We're leaving now. Give mummy a kiss good -by." The kidS started to bawl and Mummy didn't leave. She caressed and petted them and made promises of what she would bring if they were good. It took mummy 15 minutes to get out of the door. When she left, the kids were Screaming their heads ,off.

A brace might have remedied what sounds like a curvature of the spine. See a bone specialist. But a word of caution, please. Don't shop around until you find one you can talk into operating.'

The only card I received. was from my insurance com- pany, -a card which annually infuriates me. Next day, one of those nico- tine -tanned stumps which my dentist laughingly calls teeth -began to kick up. And it's been kicking up, down and sideways ever since. If I had any guts I'd tie a string "around- it, fasten the string to a doorknob and slam the door. However, I have about as many guts as I have teeth, so, I go on trying to save that one. can't even bite a marshmal- loW without going into orbit, so I've practically been on a liquid diet for weeks. This has its disadvantages. Which is worse every morning — a toothache or a hangover? And would1you--like .both?
