"Dear Anne Ilirst; We recently moved to this strange town. I am very lonely, and beset by bitter memories, This is why; "Nearly a year ago we bought a new house back home, across the street from our best friends . Soon I discover- ed that the wife was mostly at our house while I was working -making love to my husband! "They went away together, for two weeks ... 1 guess he got tired of her. He came home and asked that I stop work, and move away. So I locked the door of our nice new home, and carate here to live in a small apartment. "He declares he loves ole, and I surely love him. But I am near- ly crazy! Transfer Designs in 3 colors s4wL.

I am left entirely alone with my memor- ies. We enjoy our evenings, play- ing records and reading, and we tike outdoor sports. He does not smoke or drink, and he had never sought any other woman. That one threw herself at him, and I guess he could only take it. "But I can't forget what he did to me! Can you help me to? A.

If your husband ob- * jccts to your taking a part-time * lob in your former field, that is * out. * You say you love children, and * can have none of your own. * Later, you may decide to adopt * one. Meantime, look up the near- * est children's hospital or orphan- * age, or make yourself useful in * nursery centers; all such groups * need voluntary help badly, and * the work will be exciting and * emotionally satisfying. • * +K * PRAISE AND .WARNING "Dear Anne Hirst: What a pri- vilege -and responsibility -is yours fn advising others in their problems!

Well, how would your marriage stand up to those rules? Some husbands might comment that a man would have to be a saint to live up to all of theml Hun'ian Dynamite "I don't want to be reminded of my birthday till I'm ninety," said Arturo Toscanini, the famous con- ductor, when somebody congratu- lated him on his 85th birthday re- cently. Doctors are astonished- at his wonderful health, which one of them has likened to that of a man 30 years younger. What's the secret of his freedom from serious illness? Hard work may be the answer. In one day recently he did two recording sessions, at the end of which his exhausted musicians were ready to drop, while Toscanini him- self looked comparatjyely fresh. He's no food faddist, either, but eats and drinks what he likes, with a strong preference for cheese, fruit and sweets. He is fond of champagne and one can't recall when be last took a long holiday, No wonder Toscanini has been called "a slim little bundle of quite unpredictably explosive dynamite!" He's impulsive, has a biting tongue -and be lives for his music. lie is equally happy at a gay party or during an evening of quiet con- versation with a friend, Beside his bed there is always a pile of hooks and scores with which be fights the occasional insomnia that comes to all busy -brained men. His Sens. of humour is prover- bial. When told that some of his musicians had joined a union he said, "I suppose the union bas rules?" "Yes," was the reply. "Well, I hope the first rule is that you all keep time," he commented. Easiest Skirt R4636 5--24,25" M-26'126" t-38', 32" Cy -IL -04 WRAP -TIE SKIRT!

Why all the fuss just because he . drank some of Kitty's milk? Both of them live at the home of Mrs. Olive Kirsche, 1-1RONWLES 1NGE F M Last week, while tate weather was still cool, we spent the better part of the day fixing up window screens and putting them where they belonged. And not a day too soon. No sooner were the screens on the windows than the weather turned hot and ]tumid. However, with air getting into the, house from all directions we are now (lithe comfortably cool. In fact, although 11 is 88 degrees outside I have just found it necessary to don a light- weight sweater. Different people have different ideas about how to keep the house cool in summer. We have often been told that the only way is to shut the doors and windows and thus keep the heat out Well, I've tried it, and we don't like, that way at all. The house stays cool all right but we find it suffocating. At such a time Partner has often come in and exclaimed - "For heaven's sake g`et some air in here!" So now, however hot it is the doors and windows stay open -with the blinds half down. Last Saturday I did not realize how hot it was until 1 got down town. I was shop- ping as usual and the heat was in- sufferable. And so was the parking! As to that, is there any small country town where parking - has not already, become quite a prob. lem? In our local shopping centre park- ing has been more or less free and easy up to the preesnt but just recently parking restrictions have been imposed. Now the go down town, look up and down the street alt, what luck, there's an empty space , . We drive up to it only to be confronted with a newly in- stalled standard -"No parking on this side of the street." f suppose that is as it should be and is for the protection of every person using the street, but it still doesn't solve the parking problem. Back streets are being used more and more for this purpose and, since many of them are narrow, this practise also presents a hazard. Maybe the' time will come when every shopping district will have a drive-in park- ing area similar to Simpson's on Richmond Street, in Torontnl Any- thing rather than parking meters - or "steel pick -pockets" as Gordon Sinclair tails them. One reason for the increasing numbers of cars in small towns - and the resultant parking conges- tion -is the ever-increasing number of people front the country who drive to their nearest town instead of doing most of their shopping at the local "corner store" as they used to. One reason for this is so they may take advantage of the cheaper prices offered by chain stores in many lines of staples In these clays of .high living costs ran yuu blame anyone for shopping where prices are lower? To give one instance that was brought to my attention, One country store was selling a well- known brand of coffee at $1.15 a pound. That same brand could be bought for 99e 111 a nearby town - not only from chain stores but from an independent grocer. The count- ry storekeeper when approached insisted he could not sell goods any cheaper and still stay in business, Not 'laving the experience of a country storekeeper 1 am not in a position to judge but yet it seems obvious to me that no man running a country store can hope to be in business if he loses customers by having prices out of line with stores in nearby shopping centres. Grant- ed his daily, or 'weekly, turnover must be considerably less, but then surely his overhead"expenses must also be less, The busy little country corner store itias been almost a national ins stitution for so many years -I hate to think of it as one more thing that may pass away. And yet the writing is on the wail -unless country storekeepers and rural shoppers can meet each other half- way in regard to selling prices. Personalty, if we had a little store within easy reach of us, and with prices that were reasonable, 1 would certainly deal there in preference to going down town where one must waste time driving around looking for a place to park, and then waste more time -waiting to be served. Or if one must park on. a side street, then one is faced with the alternative of carrying parcels a block or more to the car, And that often means making two or three trips, depending upon the amount of shopping that has been done, There is room in the country for up-and-coming general mer- chants -but the easy-going cracker- barrel type has surely had its day. SKIRTS Sociologists have proved that scientists and artists respond un- wittingly to the aspirations and the reasoning of the world in w1rich they live. It is no accident that Italian artists of the fifteenth cen- tury painted many madonnas and saints, or that Louis XV danced the minuet and not the waltz. The last report of Cycles indicates that all this applies to fashions in wo- men's clothes as well as to the subject -matter of art. If the coutur- iers of the Rue de la Paix imagine that they are free agents they will be disillusioned by this report, which is a recapitulation of the findings of Mrs. Agnes Brooks Young, The couturiers probably, don't know it, but what Mrs: Young calls the present bell-shaped skirt will endure until perhaps 1970. If the couturiers want to know the shape of the skirts that they will be designing in 1980 and thereafter Mrs. Young is the woman to tell them. There is no guessing about this. - Mrs. Young has plotted fashion cycles from 1760 on, and shown that skirts change in style every third of a century or so. Why every third of a century? Because there are only three types of skirt con- tours and shapes -what .she calls "back -fullness," "tubular" and the "bell," which went as far as it could go with the hoop skirt, -If Mrs, - Young had taken the trouble to go back to ancient times she would have found bell skirts , and hoop skirts in some very old Greek statuary. Within her cycles there are variations, hut they are held within an iron framework. The transitions are not sudden, which helps to create the illusion that the fashion designers may be as whim- sical as they please. Back- in 1937, when the tubular skirt was still with us, Mrs- Young predicted that bell skirts would "conte in" again. They did. All this supplements the work that Dr. Alfred Kroeber and other social anthropologists did years ago. Like Airs. Young, they dis- pelled the idea thatthe fashion de- signers are free agents. Who dictat- es what w!11 he worn? The common people, it seems. They do h -but how? There is no answer --they just do it. --Prom The New York Times. n Prai (0 Of Lorre 'Wu man, who knows what being . ht love means talks of fair play:" --Rrankfort Moore, - * * * "i'eopke never fall in live Witi1 each other they fall violently in lows with themselves, and treat t110niSeive8.to a nmatC". -E.

B. Dye, of the Cornell Acro- nautical:Laboratory, has developed a so-called "beam pad" principle for aircraft helmets to protect the heart against severe blows. "Beam pad" helmets reduce effects of im- pact four or five fold compared with ordinary helmets and with a reduction of helmet weight. The Cornell Committee For Transpor- tation Safety Research believes that the same principles can be applied in designing automobiles and planes. ow Can 1 By Roberta Les Q.
