For over a year I've been engaged to a man I'm crazy about but we can't find a place to live! (I am an orphan, and have had a couple of rooms of my own.) My fiance is a successful engi- near of 31 (I'm 22) and for some years he's been living with a widowed sister who has two children; he practically supports them, He expects me to move in with them, but the more I see of her the less inclined I am. She is shiftless, the children are neglected, and also (quite a jolt) I feel she is as opposed to my coming as I am. "I hvaen'texplained this in de- tail, for my fiance dismisses any attempts with a wave of his hand, saying 'Of course you'll be happy there!' I'd be glad to hold on to the good job I have, although later I want a family. I have never oared for parties, I just want a spot of my own with the man I love, "And at this point that dream seems so far away!

IREENE" You two are not impulsive teen-agers, you can wait un- * til your marriage has a fair * start. I am sure you both * could take almost any hurdle * in your stride — but it does * seen foolhardy to walk open- * eyed into a situation se * fraught with risks as this one. * Your fiance's sister is mistress * in her home, and even if you admired each other she might- * well fee] your corning an in- * trusion. * The housing situation has * postponed many a marriage, 'it but when there's a will, * there's a way. If your fiance * is convinced you will not mar- * ry until you two can be alone, * he will attack the problem, * more vigorously and help you * find a place. * Women have more imagine.- * tion than most men, and are * more sensitive to personale- * ties and to their surround- * ings. You may find it hard to * persuade your man that you * mean what you say, but he * must realize that only pa- * tience, and a fresh survey of * the local scene, can hasten * the wedding day. * Keep in mind that he will * undoubtedly want to continue * helping his sister along, so re- * mind him you'll be glad to * start on a 'modest scale and * live in small quarters until * conditions improve. Save * every dollar you can for a fu- • ture nest -egg, for no matter * how well off the man, that is * always welcome: * Don't think of breaking the * engagement. Talk things over, * inspire each other by your * love and faith. Meeting the * problems head-on together * will give you both new hope * and fortitude. A +h * *Dear Anne Hirst: About a year ago a friend introduced me to a grand girl. Then he ob- jected furiously because she seemed to prefer me, and we don't see each other much: But yesterday he called me up and told me shocking tales about her. "I must find out how true they are. I love the girl now, but of course I am jealous of the men she knew before she met me. What shall I do? I couldn't bear to ask her. UNHAPPY" * Aren't you too smart to take * seriously any ugly gossip * started by a jealous person? * It may exist only in his own * mind, and was told you so you * would stop dating the girl. * What does it matter, any- * how? If you love her as you * say, you will not care about * her past. Why censure her for * something that happened (if * it did) before she knew you? * I suggest that you examine * the quality of your feeling for * her before you assume a bet- * ter -than -thou stand. * * s To wait for your wedding day is sometimes the hardest trial of all. But with love in your heart and faith in each other, it is wiser than to rush into a ques- tionable situation... , If you are impatient, write Anne Hirst about it, addressing her at Box 1, 123 Eighteenth St., New Tor- onto, Ont.

HRON!CLIl"S %INGER Oorgnd.oUxus D Clet.rlta Seems to me the weather of- fice and the C.N.E. officials should have put their heads to- gether and come up with more accurate weather forecasts for the Big Fair. Here follows our own experience. The first Sat- urday of the Ex. there was an early morning mist. The "probe called for clearing by noon. Well, as you know it rained, and rained, and, as I told you last week, Partner and I got soaked. The following Thursday Bob and his family planned a trip to the Ex. Overnight fore- cast was for rain all day. It wasn't possible for them to choose another day so they took a chance and went. It didn't rain' at all! They had a wonderful time. Friday Partner and I thought we would have a second day at the Fair. But the day dawned foggy and wet. We gave up all idea of taking the early morning special exhibition bus. Later, as I had an invitation to the Press Tea I took the noon bus.

ISSUE 39 — 1957 waswishing that Partner had come along with me. Weather did not provide the only prob- lems. Last Saturday our near- est neighbours set out to drive to the C.N E. But when they got to Sunnyside traffic officers stopped ,them from going any farther with the car. They put it into a parking tot and walked the rest of the way - approxi- mately two miles — mother, father and a seven year old girl. That's what I call getting pleasure the hard. way. Come. to think of it farm folk on a rainyday, are better off than most people at the Ex. That is if they are content to stay in the Coliseum where it is quite possible to put in the whole day — looking at ' the . livestock, watching the judging; admiring the many fine horses and ex- claiming at the wonderful ex- hibits and demonstrations put on by the 4-H Clubs. Modern farm- ing requires modern methods — tractors and high-powered ma- chinery, but how uninteresting they appear compared with the sturdy, well-groomed Clydes- dale and Perchgron horses. Just as well we have the Exhibition and the Royal Winter Fair, isn't it, otherwise some children on farms might never know what a good team looks like? Speaking of children, they will be back to school this week and family life will settle down to a well-established pattern. Young enthusiasts will arrive at school long before the doors are open; dawdlers will rush in at the last minute, just a few sec- onds ahead of the bell. Little tots, hesitant but inwardly ex- cited, experience their first day at school—with mother fearful as to their reaction. Little John —or maybe Betty—has been her baby until school days began. Now her boy or girl have their feet on the first rung of the lad- der of independence, Life at home is more orderly but for quite awhile mother finds there is a quietness and loneliness that tugs at her heartstrings. However, even without chil- dren at home life isn't: always orderly.: That I discovered one morning. A ring at the doorbell. I opened the door, there 'stood the milkman a sheepish Look on his face.' He had dropped a quart bottle of milk on the front porch. Such a mess! He gathered up the broken glass with a broom and dustpan 'and then Partner. turned ,the hose on to the cement floor of the porch. Soon after -that I was getting fish ready to fry. I had my back to the stove and was listening to Gordon Sinclar at the same time,, The pan was heating and I turned round just in time to see the grease burst into flames. about a foot high. Frankly I was curious because it had never • happened to me before. I knew there v R no danger of fire as there was nothing near the stove to catch fire, In a matter of seconds I- remembered the important thing was to smother the flames. A close -fitting lid did ' the trick: But then I had the smoke to contend with First I carried the covered pan outside. Then I opened the doors and windows But the air was heavy - and the smoke wouldn't budge. So I shut off the furnace and turned on the fan. In ten min- utes the house was free of smoke. When Partner, came in he didn't know until 1 told him that I had tried to burn the house down. 'How and why did it happen? I'll tell you—it may make some other woman more cautious. You see we afave a new electric stove with an extra quick ele- ment. My old stove had solid burners that • took forever to heat. Fat in the pan would never catch fire on that stove. But this one . . well, Gordon Sinclair was partly to blame. A startling news story told with his usual dramatic detail caused my at- tention to wander. The Story? An eleven year old girl gave birth to a baby. Enough to make any woman forget what she was doing, wasn't it? So friends if you have a quick heating element, watch out. Keep Modern Etiquette .... by Roberta Lee • Q. Should a bride -effect write notes of thanks to all the guests who attend a shower in heti • honor? A. This is not necessary. Her thanks at the affair itself should be sincere and gracious enough. She must, however, write a nota of appreciation to the hostess of the shower; and she can latex. entertain the guests at a lunch- eon or bridge party, either b9 - fore or after the wedding. Q. When someone to when one has been introduced take! ' leave of one by Saying, "I .ala very glad to have met you," what is an appropriate. response' A. "Thank you," or, "I've en- joyed njoyed meeting YOU." Q. At which side of a person at the table are the beveragert placed, filled, and removed? A.. At his right. Q. When someone telephones a member of the family who la absent, should one ask who is calling? A. If the caller has not identi- fied himself, rather than ask, "Who is this," it is much better to ask, "May I tell him who called," or "Would you care to leave your number?" Q .When are bread and rolls served at dinner? ' A. As soon as the soup Is served, the rolls or bread are passed. Most popular container nowadays is a shallow wicker basket that has a fringed nap- kin laid in it and several sorts of bread displayed. a lid handy, shut off the air and smother the flames. Still mor® important shut off the heat — either that of Gordon Sinclair or the stove. Both going at once might lead to spontaneous com- bustion!
