OLMOS T3E03 AN NE 14 MS T • *tot ramitv co-wmotat_i Dear Anne Hirst: My wile wants a divorce, to marry a man she met three months ago . . We've bean married ten years, and have two children. I went to see the man, and he told me he would marry her if she were free. "My wits inherited money. The house we live in is hers; she has a car, and a nice income. She says she will give me all this if will let her go. The man snakes a small salary, and supports his mother and sister, with whom he lives. My wife still claims she will be happier with him. HAD HIS FUN "The first several years we were married. 1 drank and ran around. Then I gave it all. up, and ever since I've been trying to make up for it. 3 love my wife dearly. I've told her if she will stay with me I would try to for- give her. I can't believe she really loves him after such short a iquaintance. "Will you advise me? SAD HUSBAND" * Any woman would be fool- ish indeed to marry a man she " has known only three months 4. —particularly when she must * break up her home to do it. I hope your wife will stop see- ing the man immediately, and devote herself to being a loyal e wife and a good mother. * A man and woman can fall in love at erg sight. But it takes months and months be-. * fore they can really know each • other, or be certain that they * will be happy for the rest of * their lives. *Has either of you consider- * ed your children? Their wel- ' fare should come first in any such decision. They are so * young that it is probable the * court would give them to their e mother to raise, unless it could * be proven she is unfit. Could this man take your place in * their hearts? Could the young- sters be happy in a strange en- * vironment? * In discussing all this with * your wife, I hope you will not * take the supercilious tone which * your phase, "try to forgive," * indicates. You, of all people, * should understand. You made * your wife suffer heartache and reGfOrei Wklear. KIDDIES love 'em: Loopy, lovable, huggable cats!

"Double" Trouble For Film Stars Most film celebrities have "unlisted" phone numbera, but visitors to Hollywood, not know- ing this, look in the phone book —and some seventy-five people constantly get calls which are not intended for them. Bob Hope is listed in the book as a doctor. But that doesn't pre- vent phone calls telling him how bad or how good he was in such - and -such a picture. A request usually follows for Jane Russell's number. Dr. Hope replies that he is a medical man and not a come- dian. The Wiliam Holden in the book happens to be a Los Angeles po- liceman. The William Holden of film fame has never met the man with the police badge. "But if I do," he says. "I hope it will be purely a social meeting." A. contractor name John Payne has met his actor namesake. For several years contractor Payne has been forwarding 'fan mail to actor Payne, and by way of ap- preciation the star invited the contractor to be his guest on a film set. The "nonentity" took one look at the 'celebrity," who was wearing heavy pirate make- up on this sunny day, and com- mented: " 311 stick to building houses." Listed in the dIreetory are the names of Ann Sheridan, Bette Davis, Doris Day, Esther Willi- ams, Marie Wilson, George San- ders, James Mason, and many more. None of these people work before the cameras, and all of them get calls meant for the stars. One actress in Hollywood who ventured to have her name in the book was a character ent- rees named Giselle Werbeserk For years no one ever called her except her friends or busi- ness associates. Then one day a practical joker phonect and said:. "Is this Giselle Werbeserk Piffl?" "Yes," replied the actress. "This is Toe Glutz," said the joker. "Didn't we meet at a party in New York??" "I've never been in New York," replied the act- ress coldly. "Beg pardon," said the man, "it must have been ANOTHER Giselle Werbeserk Phil" But a man named Chips is still getting calls after all these years from practical jokers. "Is that Mr. Chips?" they ask. He says that he is. "Good-bye, Mr, Chips," they reply, and ring off. HIS 'TRIBUTE He was a Hollywood executive, and a very unpopular man. In fact, they used to say that he • would keep an actor er a writer on the jobs two, weeks longer than necessary in order to be able to fire him on Christmas Eve. When he died,. the few pee. pie who showed up at the funeral tried their best to say something nice about the deceased. They could think of nothing, Back at the studio, after the funeral, they wound up in the barber's shop, where all itnportant, Hollywood post-mortems are held. They Were still trying to say some- thing nice, Finally the head barber came to their assistance.

At the gaunt old .Arab house she was welcomed by the tiride's mother clad in a high - necked robe of magnificent em- broidered silk over voluminous pantaloons, The outer room was .1111ed with a mob of Arab and African women in garments jew- elled with barbaric necklets and bracelets. Everyone was chatter - leg and waving incense burners or dabbing perfumed oils on the face and hands of eacji new ar- rival. With every window tight- ly cloeed, the atmosphere was in- toxicatingly warm. The bride, in a smaller inner apartment, furnished only with e divan and eight low stools on which perched eight small child- ren in silken tunics swinging little golden incense bunters, sat on the divan, so rigidly motion- less that she might have been a corpse, wrapped in cream satin and weighed down with jewels. Her small oval face was paint- ed across brow and chin with a design in brown pigment, her hands and feet were covered with an elaborate scroll -work of scar- let and brown ending in gilded nails. She resembled a puppet of painted enamel rather than a flesh -and -blood bride — and she was to marry a man over sixty whom she had never seen! Presently he entered the room —grey -bearded, resplendent in turban and heavy scarlet silks encircled by a belt carrying a great curving dagger. He held - out his hand and they passed in- to the main salon, down an ave- nue of smiling women, and through a curtained arch. 2-2040 4-4.44.4 DOUBLE VALUE for your sewing timel It's a juniper—it's a wrapon—make it also in a brief version for a cover-up apron that really protects you!

RONICI,,ES 1NGERFARM ii Guste.doltrto0 Closeke "What in the world are You doing?" That was Partner's ques- tion when he came into the kit- chen a little while ago. The reason? I had our big kitchen table literally covered with lit- tle piles of newsprint. By my side was a big carton filled with paper — the overflow was strewn all around my chair. And at the end of the table there were, by actual count, seventy-one brown paper envelopes, 'In sate . you haven't already guessed, this was the completion of my clipping orgy. I had been clipping steadi- ly.for the last two days and now the clippings were ready to go into the envelopes. Of course I soon found there were more headings than envelopes, so more envelopes had to be hunted. It has been quite a job but I ant well satisfied now it is done. And, because I had everything so well sorted, I was able to give away all kinds of good reading mater- ial. With the stuff that Was un- suitable to pass along I had one glorioua bonfire. My sorting took me through a big pile of farm papers and maga- zines and I found all kinds of interesting little articles that I don't remember having seen be- fore at all. in my reading, two facts I noticed partichlarly in thumbing over the pages -- the number of things that happen on farms to upset and 'worry the farmer; and the wonderful hob- bies and handicraft that farm folk take up in their spare time. Among the worries the first thing I read about was the out- break of Newcastle disease among poultry. Thee cense the Red River flood and the loss and. suf- fering of the Manitoba farmers, stories of hardship and courage reminiscent of pioneer days. In Ontario Dutch eMt disease and the spruce bud worm causing considerable concern. But all these troubles — except the Red River flood — paled into insig- nificance with the advent of foot and mouth disease. It was heart- breaking to read one again of the terrible slaughter and of the embargo that affected farmers right across Canada — and still does. Anthrax was next in the limelight and then the decline and fall of the hog market. Syn- thetic dairy products and the possible •adverse influence of the ItcLitch —.1 Was Nearly Crazy Very fir.

On the contrary — getting it like that, all in one. dose, as it were, 1 just sort of sat back and said to myself — "My goodness, farming must be all right after. all. Fanners have met with all those set -backs and disasters and yet most of us are still here pitching." It ties ii so well with a _little piece I jotted down after hearing it over the radio — "I am not afraid of to- morrow, fog 3 have seen yester- day. and 'I know today." Titan I turned to hobbies, handicraft and new ways of do- ing thing's, all the way from feed- ing hens to oil painting. Suddenly I thought — maybe "this is the answer — farm people are so busy experimenting to save time and labour, and then using the time they save to take up other interests, that they don't have a chance to worry too much about problems that they, personally, find impossible to solv,e. Or it may be that the farmer is filled. with •optimism after attending various annual farm 'meetings • such as we mentioned in this coltunn last week, As for hobbies and handicraft — among farm women their number is legion . , and a better type of occupa- tional -therapy couldn't be found. But from what I read I think the top honours should go to a woman in British Columbia who had no less than seventeen hob- bies, most of which she had learned by sending for material and a book of instructions. If you wonder how she had so much tine on her hands listen listen to her own explanation. "It passes the winter months after I have given our two chil- dren, 11 and 8, their school les- sons. They cannot go to school during the rainy menthe because we are practically surrounded by water. We put our cash into this farm when my husband came out of the army but the real estate agent forgot to tell him the place would be under pater during the winter. My hus- band works at Port Alberni and Modern Etiquette Q. What should a woman do if. a man offers his hand being in, trociuced to her? A. Accept it, of course, and without hesitation — evert though it is her place to OW her hand if she wishes. She s would show 111-breedine 11 were to ignore any epontaneotss act of friendliness, . • Q. When are plate., reinovecl from the dinner table for ensu- ing course? A. The plates for each course should not be removed until the slowest eater has finished that particular course and laid down his fork. Q. How far in eclvance of the wedding may gilts be sent to the bride? A. Usually ten days or two weeks prior to the day of the wedding. This gives the bride ample time to acknowledge them. Q. I see more and snore women smoking on the streets. Is this considered proper now? • A. Maybe sometime this will be accepted by good society, but at present it still is in the "im- proper" category. Also, a man walking along with a woman on city streets does not smoke. Q. When the person behind you at the theatre persists isa talking, is it permissible to ask them to stop? A. Yes, but do this as quietly and pleasantly as possible. It they seem to resent your request and ignore it, then speak to an usher. Q. Is it permissible to use both the knife and fork when eating fish? A. Usually the fork is the only implement necessary. Q. Is it all right for a girt to give her fiance an, engagement gift? A. Although it is not custom- ary or obligatory, there certain- ly is nothing wrong with it Her gift might be cuff links, key chain, or cigarette lighter or case. Q. When one is a guest at a dinner served in a hotel dining room, or restaurant, should one . leave a tip for the waiter in ad- dition to that left by the host? A. No; this is only the obliga- tion of the host. Q. Is it all right to cut hot bis - suite at the table with the knife? A. Never; break them apart with the fingers. wades through the creek every day to get to the road where he leaves his car. Learning how to do new things takes my mind off our worries."
