gone with a boy who calls me
every other night He comes
over once a week, he's with me
on weekends, and buys me beau-

he lovas met
"He has ask-

steady; if I date
anyone else
he has a fat,
and says he
can't trust me.
He will hurt
my feelings if
he can, and
when I object he says ,he's just
teasing.
"Other girls have a ring, or a
pin, or something to show they
are going steady, but though he
owns a class ring, I have nothing.
The girls all wonder why. Also,
he claims he would see me more
often, but doesn't want me to
fail in my studies. (I'm in my
senior high school class). I love
him very much .. Does he love
me, or, what? I am so worried!

Painting A Wall?
Start At Bottom•
When you wash or paint a wall,
do you mount a stepladder and
start at the top? If so, you'd
better mend your ways.
A tip from the U.S. General
Services Administration coin-
cides with advice from experi-
enced wall painters. A wise house-
wife will start at the bottom !
This is not so unreasonable as
it sounds. When you wash a wall
from the bottom up, you just
easily and neatly clean up the
muss as you go along, never add-
ing muddy trickles to soiled sur-
faces and never accumulating
more dirt in streaks. If your
lower surfaces are entirely clean
as you operate on upper wall
areas, dripping sponges will do
less damage and any small
trickles ran be wiped off at once,
with no remaining stains.
Similarly when you paint on
an upward spiral,there is little
danger that too much thinning
will occur at the top in contrast
with heavy paint surfaces due to
accumulation of downward drip-
ping.
Don't be a doubting Thomas !
Try the improved method !
MILLIONS OF LIVES SAVED
Dr. Edward F. Knipling, a
leading specialist in the use of
insecticides, estimated this week
that the use . of DDT had saved
5,000,000 lives and prevented
more than 100,000,000 illnesses
since 1942. The benefit of con-
trolling diseases, he reported to
the American " Association of
Economic. Entomologists. must be
balanced against the calculated
risk of using any insecticide. Not
one serious illness or death had
been caused in people exposed to
DDT during inst'ct-controt ef-
forts, he said.

Modez'n'`Eti uetre
Q, Who gots Arst down the
aisle of a motion picture theater,
the -man or the girl?
A. The girl precedes: 'And on -
less the man she is with is her
husband, fiance, or someone she
knows real well, she should turn
to him and' ask, "Is this all right"?
This gives him . a chance ---should
he be near or far-sighted -- to
suggest 'a seat that is closer or
farther away.
Q. 1f grapefruit is to be served
as the fruit course for a luncheon,
how should it be prepared?
A. Cut across in half, cut the
sections free and remove the
dividing skin and seeds, then put
sugar into it and allow to stand
for an hour or so.
Q. Is It proper to write notes of
condolence on the typewrites.'?
A. No. This type of note will
express more thoughtfulness and
sympathy if it is written by hand.
Q. How does a house wedding
differ from a church wedding?
A. The bride and bridegroom
do not take a single step tdgether.
He meets her at the point where
the service is to be read, and after
the ceremony there !s no re-
cessional. The clergyman with-
draws, an usher removes the
prayer bench, and the bride and
bridegroom merely turn where
they stand and reveive the con-
gratulations of their guests,
Q. Is it necessary for a hostess
to provide new cards for her ,
guests at a bridge party?
A. Usually, yes. She may use
old cards only if thee• are spotless
and shiny.
Q. What is the tee a woman is ,
usually supposed to give the maid
who helps her in a publie dres-
sing room?
A. Usually twenty -ave cents.
Q. If a man has been invitedto
dinner in someone's home; and
suddenly finds it evil] be impos-
sible for ]tiara to arrive at the ap-
pointed hour, what is the best
thing for him to do?
A. Telepbone his host or hostess
immediately, explain, and request
that they do not wait for him.
Q. What refreshments would
be appropriate following a home
wedding?
A. This is more a matter of
choice than of etiquette. Ginger
ale, fruit juice, punch, or 'coffee,
wedding cake, and a few sand-
wiches would be all right.
Q. If, there is no .host in the
house at the time, and a hostess
is seeing a couple off, should she
help both of them 'with their
coats, or just the woman?
A. She doesn't assist either of
them. The man first helps the
woman with her coat, and then
puts on his own,

Ii this co1iio,u seems 0 little
disconnected the reason is not '
far to seek. Yesterday we were a
family of seven and here is what
happened. About 7.30 am. Bob
took our two visitors to the train
as they were spending .the day,
in. Toronto—that, of course, was
after a mad scramble for early
morning breakfast and g o in g
away preparations. Then Bob
came back, finished his own last
minute packing, which consisted
of piling all his possessions into
Iris car, and then he was ready
for a long trip North. While this
was going on Daughter and
Arthur came down hunting
breakfast and Partner came in.
from the barn where he had been
wrestling with a fresh cow with
a hard quarter. Almost im-
mediately afterwards Bob set off
on his tripe and it is quite pos-
sible we may not see him again
for six menthe The zest of the
day was comparatively quiet—
Partner, Daughter, Arthur and
myself just talking—family talk,
over this thing and that. After
supper Dee and Art set out for
Toronto and then the whole house
was very, very quiet. I sat down
with my . thoughts and a needle
and thread to mend a pair of
pyjamas that Partner had fallen
through. I wondered as I worked
how soon Partner would be up
from the barn and whether our
friends would be late getting
back from Toronto. And then the
telephone rang. A friend that I
thought was a hundred miles
away asked if I would like a
couple of tramps for the night!
"But why ... where -are you?" I
asked in surprise.
My friend laughed—"Well, as
a natter of fact we have taken a
house down here --only just at
present we are here and the
furniture isn`t" Of course I said
to come right along so inside of
fifteen minutes Lillian and her
daughter were on our doorstep,
leaving the man of the house to
wait for the furniture and look
after things, •
Of course we had to do a bit
of hustling ... beds to make
and the furnace given an extra
stoking against the cold north
winds. A nice hot cup of tea com-
pleted our welcome. In the
middle of things Partner came in
front the barn, our other friends
returned from Toronto, all of
them wondering at the sudden
flurry of activity and who the
newest arrivals might be, Now it
is the morning after and we are
still busy getting ourselves sorted
out—and of course attending to
the baker, the dairy man, the egg -
man and the vet -•--all of whom
seemed to arrive one after an-
other. It is really a great life if
you don't weaken -Wand if your
supply of sheets doesn't give out,
and if you can keep awake- long
enough to be properly polite. The

One new arrival I haven't men-
tioned—and it has given us more
fun than a picnic. This new
arrival is in the form of a little
clockwork bear. Wind it up and
it ambles slowly across the floor,
its head keeping pace with its
heavy foot movements, Honey,
Tip and Mitchie-White think it is
a wonderful plaything, but their
reactions are very different,
Mitchie evidently thought it was
some sort of kitten and was quite
ready to play with, 11. But when
its little motor ran down and it
showed no more sign of move-
ment
ovement Mitchie lost interest' al-
though he did try licking it back
to life. Tippy wanted to grab it
and shake it like a ground -hog
'and we had to rescue the poor
little bear. It was Honey that
caused the greatest fun. She
whimpered at the noise of the
motor. Then, greatly daring, she
pawed the little bear with her
foot and rolled it over. The legs
.still kept moving and Honey sat
back in surprise. Partner said,
"Fetch it here !" Honey waggled
her stufnp of a tail in delight,
nosed the bear this way and• that,
finally found that its tail was
easier to grab than any part of
its mechanical body, so she picked
up the bear by its tail and bore
it in tritunph to Partner. Later
on, tired of playing, Honey sat
down beside the bear on the rug.
Presently Mitchie-•White came in;
and Honey growled as loudly and
fiercely as if she vete guarding
a nice, fresh juicy bone.
Maybe, come Tuesday, I shall
be glad to have Honey and the
. bear to amuse me, as after that
day Partner and I will be all
alone, that being the time when
our friends tell leave us, as they
are crossing the border over to
the United States. On the other
hand I may not have time for
amusements — you know how
sewing and mending has a way of
piling up when one has company
around. What with Christmas and
everything 2 have got so that.I
look the other way. whenever I
pass my mending basket.
Took The Chorus Girls Out Of Tights
'-Put Them Into Skirts Instead
Just a hundred years P30, ac-
cording to the records, in Comber
of 1862, was born the showman
who had a bigger impact upon
the British stage than anybody
else. Genius is not too big a
word for tants:
Be was not a dramatist; he
was not an actor; but he had a
wonderful flair for knowing
what audiences wanted, even it
they did not know themselves!'
As an instance of his craving
for perfection, take. his action,
'when one of his •shows had reach-
ed dress -rehearsal stage and he
suddenly took a dislike to' the
"set" for the second 'act. Ile
ordered the whole lot to be
scrapped, and a new set to be,
built and painted, The scenery
was not finished until time came
for the curtain to rise on the
play, there was a small delay,
resented, by the gallery, but
George Edwardes had had his
autocratic way.
Walked Like Queers
Ile brought glamour and a
kick to the chorus, and created
the famous "Gaitey Girl." Up
to then, the chorus of a musical
show had been the butt of every
cheap wit; the "back row of the
chorus" had been a synonym for
knock-kneed inefficiency., Ed-
wardes selected his chorus girls
with the greatest care. Beautiful
"creations" took the place. of the
old -tyle cotton tights, and Ed-
vardes was astute .enough to
know that long skirts over
frothy, frilly petticoats had in-
finitely more allure than these.
The girls walked like queens;
their poise was wonderful. Ed-
wardes saw to that. Before they
were allowed t0 step upon the
stage of the - Gaiety or Daly's
they were taught deportment,
dancing 'and singing'— every-
thing, in fact, to make them more
glamorous.
Musical Comedy Arrives
Edwardes is generally believ-
ed to be the inventor of what
we know as musical comedy, but
that is quite wrong. The idea
sprouted in the fertile brain of
Frank Osmond Carr,. Garr was
among the first of the current
composers of light music, and
already had "Morocco Bound"
and "His Excellency". to his
tuneful credit. (He was the com-
poser whom D'Oyly Carte 'pick-
ed to collaborate with Sir W. S.
Gilbert when that temperamen-
tal author had his'notorious gtlr-
rel with Sullivan.)
Carr saw that the old-fashioned
burlesque or operetta was doom-
ed; why not have a inusical piece
in which everybody wore mod-
ern 'clothes? Edwardes would
have none of it. But Frank Carr
believed in his idea, and kept
Edwardes until the manager con-
sented to give the mad 'thing a
trial. "In Town" was produced
at the Prince of Wales over which
Edwardes then had control, and
the public "ate it up"! Musical
Comedy was horn.
George Edwardes ran Daly'_
es well as the Gaiety, and was
so successful that. he only put
on eleven shows in fiften years.
People said that if a Daly's piece

Clan,
Money Didn't Matter
Part of Edwardes' disregard
for money was shown in hit ec-
centric generosity. Seeing e
chorus girllooking rather lugu-
brious one day, and being told
that she felt far from bright, he
said: "What you want, my dear,
is a breath of fresh air, There's
half an hour before you are want-
ed—so jump- into a. hansom and
drive up and down the, Embank- ,
ment," And he 'promptly gave
her two pounds for the, fare!

paid for their hair -do's at the
best places in the West -end, in •
fact did all he could to exploit
the loveliness of the Gaiety
chorus; The result was that • R
gained a reputation ,for glamour
that no chorus had had before—
or since.
"Any man can find :work if
he'll duly use his brains," said
the 'efficiency expert, "provided,
of course, he is ready to adapt
himself to circumstances;' like s
piano -tuner >I once met' on the
Canadian prairie." '
"But even if he,wps.adabtable,"
protested o n e listener, "he
couldn't make piano -tuning pay
with pianos so few and far be-
tween.'
"Admitted;" , replied the ex-
pert, "but he made quite • a decent
living tightening up babed-wiry
fences."
