"Dear Anne Hirst; I've been
engaged for over a year, and my
fiance is growing impatient. But
1 hesitate to marry him because
of my mother. She is not only
handicapped, but very spoiled.
"She has always frowned on
all my former beaux and does
not get along well with my
Rance. 1 know it is chiefly her
fault because she hates the
thought of losing me by mar-
riage.
"I cannot afford to pay her
board elswhere. She would have
to live with ,us and, frankly, the
thought frightens me. But I must
either take that chance or end my
engagement.
My fiance and I love each
other dearly, but I cannot ask
him to wait any longer. He is a
patient maxi, and wonderfully
kind, and says we will manage
somehow. But have I the right to
expose him to my mother;
whims' UNDECIDED."

It has been a horrid, wet, mis-
erable day. and this afternoon
we had a slight thunderstorm.
When he heard it Partner said
"Thunder in March, empty
barns in September." Just a say=
ing of course, but I suppose all
these old-world weather pre-
dictions must have been found-
ed on the Personal observations
of country foils throughout the
the years. Here are i few more
weather forecasts all'w«rapped up
in rhyme.
Signs of Foul Weather
"The hollow winds begin to blow:
The clouds took black, the glass

Hid Their Money
In Queer Places
A Cornish farmer, persuaded
to invest- in National Savings.
produced £150 in half-crowns
from an old milk °churn. He was
one of those people who for
some reason distrust banks and
choose strange hiding -places for
their wealth. For even in 1953
there are folk who like' hoarding
their savings in places where
they believe they will be "safer
than the Bank- of :England."
An old man- in. Eire had a
shock when one. day he discov-
ered that his wife sold one of
the household pillows to an old
junk man for a fete pence. No
wonder! The pillowcontained
about £'400, his life savings,
which he had deposited there
Secretly without telling even his
wife. But he was lucky: he man-
aged to retrieve his fortune from
the junk merchant.
Treasury notes for 11450 re-
mained wrapped round cistern
pipes in_ a Liverpool house for
three years before they were dis-
covered by a new tenant. It was
found that the old tenant had
placed them there during a -long.
period of frost to -keep the water
from freezing and because. - he
thought it was the finest possible
hiding -place. When he moved
out. he forgot the'money!
A tobacco jar, a dog's kennel
and a music -stool have -been
used at various times as "banks,'
A retired. Lancashire mill -hand
who suddenly decided to en-
trti; t his savings to a bank said
he had previously kept thein in
a stuffed bird.
An old woman who died some
time ago had kept her money in
a hollowed bone. And it was
found that a patient in an United
States hospital had for five years
_treed her wooden leg as a safe
deposit for $2,000.
A man had seven thuusand
sovereigns under the, floor of his
bedroom in a Teddington house
during the first World War. He
put them in tobacco tins, he said
later, and concealed them there
"for safety against air -raids" The
tide of the tins were glued down.
Same people carry fortunes in
the clothing they wear every
da. A woman old -age pension-
er left a Blackpool hospitai with
rc-�rie 3:5.000 tucked under her
arm in a brown paper parcel. Her
heerd was discovered, fastened
with safety -pins in her many
peekete after she had been
knocked down while Crossing a
road. Some of the notes were
new; many were limp and soiled
and had obviously been carried

Lesson In Goodwill
Almost everybody likes a gar-
den. Some prefer tidy, formal
plantings; others like natural, un-
restricted beauty. You will find
both in the 3000 -acre Interna-
tional Peace Garden located on
the border between the Prov-
ince of Manitoba and North Da-
kota.
Well -tended gardens grow
more beautiful with the years,
and this one is about 20 years old.
It is supported by government
appropriations and funds from
groups such as the. U.S. state
home demonstration councils and
the `Women's Institutes of Cana-
da.
Like many North Ameriean
birds which have made it their
sanctuary, thousands of people
enjoy this hallowed spot on our
unguarded frontier. The garden's
dedication inscribed on a stone
marker reads: "To God in His
glory, we two nations dedicate
this garden and pledge that as
Iong as then shall live we will not
take up arms against one an-
other."

Good Taste For Teens
' By SALLY McCRAE
This week we're going to talk
about that cOmrnon teen come

eet." elle boy in your life doesn't
'phone any more and living $5 a
Pretty dull- affair without him.
Even your girl friends tell you
your torch is showing. And the
sad thing about it, it isn't ,the
first time' this has happened. Just
a couple ' of months ago, that
terrific fellow, for no apparent
reason, walked out of your life,
Before hien there was Jimmy,
whom you also thought Was 'tee-
eitlr

you're nice enough looking, wear
keen clothes, dance quite well,

things you 'think boys like in a
girl. But they . just- don't come
over any more. Its enough to give
a gal a king-sized inferiority
complex, Besides, think of the
wear and tear on your heart;
its terrific. Something is wrong,
that's for sure; but WHAT?
You Wish and wish that some-
one would tell you. Well, that's
Our aim. In fact, we've taken
things in our own handsand ask-
ed the
sk-ed-the boys to tell us. Here are
the questions and their answers,
If you were going with a girl
and liked her very much, what
could she do that would make
you lose interest in her, to the
extent that you'd stop going with
.her? -
Possessiveness. Boys apparent.
ly, just don't like possessive girl
friends. They say, "A smart girl
never makes a boy feel trapped,"
Being chased, Boys don't like
to be chased by a girl. They feel
very strongly about this. They
say, they like to pursue and that
they lose interest as soon as they
discover a girl is theirs for the
asking. Anticipation, they say, is
part of the chase, and if they
know how a girl is going to act,
because she has already done her
part, they stop chasing and lose
interest. They said they lose in-
terest from a lack of the admir-
ation, which every boy feels for
the girl who is hard to get. This,
they told us, doesn't mean a girl
has to play coy. A smart girl
waits for a boy to ask her far a.
date, she doesn't 'phone suggest-
ing dates and making plans.
They did say, that sometimes
a girl should play games with a
boy and not let him know that
she sits at home, waiting for him
to call. A smart girl doesn't let
a boy become. too sure of her.
PRETENSE: Boys say they def-
initely dislike pretense or arti-
ficiality in their girls. They want
their girl friend to be a girl and
to be herself; feminine and in-
teresting.
So girls know the type of Per-
son you are. Perhaps your strong
point is 'sympathy and warmth
and this makes you naturally in-
terested in others and in their
problems. Therefore, you can
make a boy feel superior and
masculine by stressing your own
femininity. SLUI'ERIOR: Boys tell
us they don't 111-e a girl who acts
