"Dear Anne Hirst: 1 have to
confide in Someone, or go crazy.
My emotions are contrary to
everything I've believed in. Thal
knowledge does me no good, My
mind and my heart won't agree.
"When I was 17, I fell in love
—completely. I know he loved
me (women can tell)' but there
Was only one flaw in our ro-
mance -- he was married. I was
already lost My family found
out, and he was drafted—all at
the same time. They intercepted
his letters, and I thought he had
forgotten me.
"Two years later 1 married a
man I'd known three months.
My life since has been years of
drunkenness, debts, and misery
I suppose my husband loves our
children, but he ignores them ex-
cept when he's drunk, and then
he's disgusting . .
STILL IN LOVE
"Last June I met J. again. It
was as though those eight years
had never been. I love him mare
than my very life, and he loves
me. But—
"There are our children: he
has three, also. There is no
chance of our ever being to-
gether, I feel that I can't stand
it! I can't see him, and I can't
bear not seeing him.
"Must I go on like this the
rest of my life? — Wanting him,
and hating myself for it I fill
my days, but even that doesn't
help. What ran I do?
D. K."
° Perhaps the most painful ex-
* perience in life is to want what

• to realize that we shall go on
* wanting it, though it is forever

Live in today, work its prob-

They Died Twice
Medical .nen are discussing the
amazing case of Mr. William C.
Blosson, of Brooklyn, New York,
who a few weeks ago was certi-
fied to have died from n heart
attack.
His body was taken to an un•
dertaken for embalming. As he
Lay. in the mortuary, one of the
staff was horrified to notice that
his eyes were flickering slightly
They rushed the man to hospi-
tal where, twenty minutes later
he sat up suddenly and declared:
"Whoever said I was dead? I
certainly am not."
A similar case of a mane cons
ing to life" again was reported
from New York three years ago
The man. aged 65, was twice pro-
nounced dead within four hours
—and twice revived ire heart
massage.
There is no authenticatea case
in Britain of a person recovering
after being certified "dead" by a
doctor. In Britain a man is pre
sumed dead . by law after his
heart, breathing and circulatior
have stopped for five minutes.
Physiologytoday teaches that ir-
reversible changes occur in the
human brain and other vital
organs if the circulation stops for
four minutes 'or more.
A Jamaican woman, Cnartotte
Jones, who "died" aged 00, was
placed fn a coffin and her bed;
packed in ice. Fifteen hours later
the coffin -lid was seen to move
slightly and a white hand ap-
peered. The lid was removed and
up sat the "corpse," saying "My
I'm hong r y. Please give me
something to eat'
There was also the Italian wont
an, Teresa Marassia, who got our
of her coffin just in time to save
herself from being buried alive
The interment was due to take
place hall an hour later

Practical Jokes
And Jokers
It is a dark night. A motorist
on the Portsmouth road is run-
ning' out of Cobham, Surrey
when his lights pick out the body
of a man dangling from the
bridge over the road. Hurriedly
reassuring his horrified women
passengers, the driver stops the
car and rushes to the man's as-
sistance,
Imagine 'his feelings when his
efforts to free the body are an-
swered with ribald laughter from
a gang of hidden merrymaker:.
For this was no corpse, but a
life-size dummy carefully dress-
ed for the part
Frightening people is a notion
which some jokers consider tine
fun.
In another class is the hoaxer
who passes himself off as some-
body else. Two English Oxford
undergraduates once kept large
audiences enthralled for hours,
one impersonating a well •known
Turkish professor, the other a
celebrated German psychologist
Seven Year Fraud
But these were harmless ruses
compared with the escapade of
Martha Barth. Barth was a Ger-
man refugee. Tired of wonting as
a housemaid for an English fam-
ily, she decided to fob herself
off as a destitute Prussian prin-
cess. When the fraud was ex-
posed, it was found that two
kind-hearted spinster sisters had
been housing, feeding, and tet
ing her for seven years.
A prince among pranitsters
was the notorious Theodore Hook
In 1809 he staged his most heart-
less hoax of all—on an inoffen-
sive old lady named Mrs Tot-
tenham. Walking with a iriend
along Seniors Street, in Lnndnn

Within a week shops all over
London were delivering goods
at Mrs. Tottenham's — wines,
wedding cakes, groceries, vege-
tables, books. Tailors, bookma-
kers, and undertakers turned up
for orders. Even doctors, lawyers
and clergymen had been asked
to call.
When Hook waa exposed, it
was learned he had also arranged
to send along, on some plausible
pretexts, the governor of the
Bank et England, the Duke of
Gloucester, and several other ce-
lebrities.
"A mug is born every minpte,"
so it's said. About 1750, just to
prove how gullible the public
could be, a man named Mon-
tague bragged that he would fill
a Haymarket theatre with people
who had paid to see a performer
squeeze himself into a bottle.
"You'll never persuade them
to do that," warned his friends.
So Montague inserted a specta
cuter advertisement in a paper
The bait was s wa 1 l e w e d:
Crowds flocked to the theatre and
paid for admission. When the
performer failed to appear, the
audience realized they'd "been
had," and fell to rioting. -
The greatest hoax in the his
tory of New Zealand was played
on a prison. Urgent telephone
messages were received from the
jail at Rangitata, near Auckland
that a terrific explosion had kill-
ed and injured several prisoners.
Officials and doctors were
rushed to the scene in speed-
boats. Excited crowds waited for
news. But the would-be rescu
ers returned ie say that it was
all a bluff.
Attempts have now and again
been made to cure practical jo
kers by giving them ante of
their own medicine.
There was at certain incorrie
ible prankster who worked for
an American broadcasting com-
pany. One day an advertisement
bearing his name appeared in a
prominent newspaper. It - read'
"Highest prices paid fon old
Christmas -trees." '•
"Peace at last:"
Next day 87 telephone callers
offered dried -out trees, and twe
lorry -loads of evergreens pulled
up at the prankster's door. Some
one had had their own back.

Day week)end—and tate weather
such a disappointment to those
Jiving in the city who bad plan-
ned a long weekend in the court -
try; and for home gardeners, anx-
ious to putn`lp plants and seedlings
now the danger of frost appears
tg be over. Co,me to think of it,
isn't it foolish, the way we plan,
, for either wprk• pr; pieagur-e„ with-
out allowing for the fact that the
weather, ,or • eiretunsi'ances, or
family responsibilities, may make
it impossible for us to early out
our program. We plan without
a margin. And yet a margin is so
necessary. It is a safeguard against
disappointment; a place to re-
treat when 'plans fail to material-
ize, Remember the time when 10-
vitations to both public and so-
cial events often had in brackets,
after the time and 'place was
given, (D.V.) meaning "Deo
Vo'lente" or "God Willing". D.V.
is a term that is hardly used at
all these days—in fact what D.V.
stands for may be completely lost
on present-day reader's. We make
plans to suit our own conveni-
ences—very rarely do we think or
say to ourselves, "God Willing".
And so, if and when our plans
don't work out the way we ex-
pect, there Is no margin of re-
treat. We feel hurt as a result
and go around with a chip on our
shoulder.
I remember, some years ago,
one business -man -farmer, a mid-
dle-aged bachelor, very efficient
and uptddate. He planned every
hour of every day, for himself and
his hired help. Ask him on Satur-
day when'he planned to start hay- .
ing and lie would tell You -"Well,
I figure I'lrbe in the first field by
10 o'clock Tuesday morning." Or
ash him about his milk produc-
tion and he would say—"Next
month I have three more cows
coming in, then I shall be ship-
ping five cans daily." That farm-
er planned without a margin. The
result was• continuous frustration.
A heavy rain or the loss of a cow
completely upset his calculations.
One day he was found lying in his
own driving shed, a discharged
gun by his bide, ' ' •
Probably the happiest 'farm
folk are those who allow a good
wide margin in planning their
farm and home operations,, who
always have asubstitute plan if
circumstances make it impossible
to carry out the original one.
Heavy rain may stop seeding for
a day or two—but it is a good
chance to clean up the driving
shed. Or Mrs. Farmer may be al]
set to put in garden. And then it
rains . , . well, there'll be another
day. Might as well get the mend-
ing out of the way—orgo to that
meeting 1 thought I would have
to miss.
One busy women I know has
to work lists most of the nine—
one is headed "Things 1 Must Do"
—the other "Things I Would Like '
to Do". This woman always plans
her work, day by day, but when
weather or circumstances upset
her plans regarding things that
must be done, then she seizes the
opportunity for one of the more
enjoyable but Less urgent jobs
from the second list.
As to that, last Thursday there
must have been a great many
omen who were falling back on
second choice jobs on account of
the twin weather. One 01 the WJ.
branches in this district chartered
a bus and the mo.dbers went on
a sight-seeing, fact-finding trip,
which int:luded •making a round
of a large stone quarry, where
several power shovels were in
operation, a visit to Flamiiton's
famous Rock Garden, also; to Dun-
dur'n Castle and Museum, once
the horse of Sir Allan. McNab; a
conducted tour of the Sovereign
Potteries, and a look -sea, at the
Mille Library at McMaster Uni-
versity. Since the bus was not
quite full a friend and 1 wer'e'in-
vited to go on the trip, My day
was already' planned but my plans
bad been frustrated due to very
necessary but undelivered mer-
chandise, That trip was second
choice but -1 probably derived
more lasting satisfaction from its"'
than I would have done from the
work that had been my original
pian.
Friday and Saturday 1 was busy

five that we were expecting on
Sunday -only before the day was

there was no wet grass to walk

but it is no trouble to cut, Why
