The husband of one of my dearest friends las been running, around four or five months now, and a group of 'us are wondering whether we should tell her, or decide It is none of our business. We feel she can put a stop to it if she doesn't wait too long. The man holds an important post in town and he couldn't stand any scandal. If his su- periors discover this, he would be dismissed, and his wife and children would suffer. What do you say? A FRIEND DON'T * This knowledge makes you * feel responsible, I know, and * you want to. do- the right * thing. But if any one of you * dares tell the man's wife of * his dallying, do you think. * she would ever want to face * you again? You would act in * kindness, but wouldn't she * wish you had: been still? * Perhaps she knows already * and is meeting the situation * in her own fashion. At any * rate, she would be mortified to * learn that the matter has be- * come common gossip. 11111111111 NEW PRINTED PATTERN EASIER --FASTER MORE ACCURATE �1 itt-�fu,.ri1L�_lll� V I�I/LNij�I1���►i ° ir i __.

I went with him for two years, and he kept on drinking although often he promised ` he would stop. Now he has called me up again,'and of course my family won't al- low me to see him. • They admire the boy I'm go- ing with, and of course I' don't want to hurt him, but really I'd have much better trines with the one I used to know. What do you think? UNHAPPY * You gave your former bol%. * friend more chances to be- * have himself than he de- * served, and still he continued * to drink as before. I am afraid * if you see him again it would * be the same story; you cer- * tainly don't want to be dis- * illusioned again, do you? * For years and years I have * warned young girls against * dating any boy who drinks. * Not only does it weaken the * morals, but the girl gets her- * self talked about unpleasantly. * And surely you don't want to * appear so unpopular that you * can only date a weak charac- * ter?

BACK DROP — Two 47 -inch strands of fresh -water pearls fall gracefully down the freck- bed.back of a model to enhpnce her bareback gown. The "Shu - von" necklaces, by Judith McCann, are versatile lengths of matchedpearls framed by bril- liants. They can be worn in many ways, from a multi - strand choker wound about the throat, to a flapper -style neck- lace. WHERE'S THE PART,'DADDY? — Carefully wielding her .comb, two-year-old Irene Hudson beautifies the newly grown beard of her father, Chief Engineer Donnie B. Hudson, after he arrived In New York aboard the •cargo ship Towle. The Towle was en- gaged in Operation Deepfreeze in •the Antarctic.. TIPPY IDEA—Carlin Coleman, doorman for a New York hotel, is also an inventor of sorts. Above; he displays his latest brain-child—a detachable, trouser pocket. Idea is you keep a few spares around and when a pocket wears out, you just zip in a fresh one. HRONICLES i1NGERI7ARM ..e o awake There is one advantage to, a big farm house — if the west side is cold you can generally take refuge in the south side of the house. That is what I am doing now. A north-west wind is blowing a regular gale mak- ing the front of the house as cold as a barn. We can't get more heat from the furnace. without leaving it unchecked, and that we are afraid to do. Better be a little cold than take a chance on burning the house down. However, we have one small room in a sunny south corner that is as snug as can be and so, here I am, typewriter and all. This makes the third windy day we have had this week — March winds with a vengeance. Last Tuesday was the first and on that day the De- partment of Highways set up some kind of road block just outside our gate, stopping and questioning' the driver of every 'south -bound vehicle. The men were there from seven in the morning to six at night. Pre- sumably it was some kind of traffic census. Such a day for a job like that. Wednesday Partner sent out another load of scrap — the metal remains of our seed -drill and manure -spreader — with a few extras thrown in. Bicycle wheels for instance. It is years since anyone around here rode a bicycle but yet, there were the old wheels still hanging from a wooden peg. I doubt if they were of any use but as the years go by you get so used to things being around you don't even see them. In a different sense that was literally true for me. I am still indulging in,a trash- burning orgy, also stacking and sorting the things I want.to keep. One time I looked around and wondered what on earth I had done with the Christmas tree lights and trimmings. ` I hunted, and I hunted - in cupboards and boxes, in this room and that, but I could not find either the lights or the trimmings. So I finally went on with my work. Soon I had' another carton of stuff to .burn. I. took it over to the smouldering bonfire and on the edge of the pile what should , I see but one little coloured elec- tric bulb. My worst fears were confirmed. In' some unaccount- able way I must have put the tree trimmings ,on the fire. I still can't think how it happened. I got a scolding, from Partner for worrying about it. But after all, it is one thing to burn useless tuff but wit wants to destroy once -a -year trimmings that have also accumulated a certain amount of sentiment with each Christmas that came and passed. There were all . the little fig- urines and bat bles that had de- lighted our children when they were small and that promised to be equally attractive to . our children's children. However, I • suppose I shoudn't worry—after all • it --isn't the • youngsters who care, it is just their foolish par- ents and grandparents. Two days later. The weather has improved considerably — no more snow, very little wind and plenty of nice warm sunshine. It would seem "aIl's right with the world". That is if one does not look too far afield, politi- cally, economically and weather- wise. We had a card yesterday from friends vacationing in Flor- ida. They said the weather was cool but they were hoping it would be warmer later on. But since that card was written we. have heardrumours of gales, terrific rain and meteors in the Florida region. So we are nat- urally wondering . . . Also in the news Iast week was the Fed- eral budget. It will please some and make very little difference to others. We shall benefit about twenty-five cents a month on tea and coffee. That should be a vote -catcher! We had a friend staying overnight the evening the budget was brought down. She lives on a farm a good many miles north of here and she cer- tainly didn't find anything to cheer about. Of course a lot de- pends on how you look at it. I was thinking old -age pensioners would be quite pleased but one old lady said to me "I guess it's all right but it's almost too late for me. I won't have long to enjoy it." I suppose her re- marks are understandable. She is a widow, well over 80, her earning capacity gone and yet so independent she does every- thing possible to exist on her pension. Somehow shedoes very well except that every visit from her doctor, and every bottle of medicine from the drug store is a major :financial problem. Per- haps when the Federal -Provin- cial Health Plan comes into being it will make things a little eac_zr for pensioners.I sincerely hope so. A well-known scientist and traveller ' is to conduct •• fur- ther experiments with -water from the "Lake of Life," follow- ing the amazing sequel to his bathe recently in an inland waterway. The no -longer -young bather spent an hour in the water and emerged looking years, younger than when he entered it. His inquiries already have produced these startling facts. To the extent of nearly thirty per cent., the water is charged with salts having extremely beneficial medicinal properties and it is also highly radioactive. Although the local people ap • preciate its value, the outside world does not seem to have taken .full advantage of its bene- fits. Businessmen motor to its shores for a dip after a heavy day's work. Mothers • and nurses take children therefor a health dip. Many pale and anaemic looking children have regain- ed full robust health after only a few days in the district. Canadian gardeners' struggling to raise prize exhibits for shows, would cast envious eyes upon the specimens grown with the aid of the "wonder water." Broad bean Dods grow to a length ;of two feet, and oranges measure sixteen inches in girth and weigh nearly two pounds. Radish seeds planted one day But - wage-earners have e their problems too which may ul-'. tiinately benefit the farmer. For instance one young boy worked on a farm for a year and then decided he could snake more money in an industrial plant. Now that same plant is laying off men and the young fellow in question went to the farm where he had previously worked and asked for his job back again. Another instance concerns two brothers. One stayed on the farm, the other quit, thinking he could make $50 a day trucking. He soon found himself in the red and unwillingly admitted that. his brother on the 'earm made more money than he did with his truck.
