A con- fused young woman wonders how she can live through such. en eternity. "The man has ap- • plied for his divorce, but it won't be granted until then. An- other, a more recent friend, fell in love almost atonce and begs me to marry him. I admire and respect him, and he's lots of fun, but that is all." She asks me what to do. "For two years I've loved the first man," she continues. "He never cared for his wife, and since the first year he has beg- ged her for a divorce. I cannot question his devotion. We have observed all the amenities, of course, but I don't see how I can be patient for so long! "My parents are very much opposed to a divorce, and if I wait for the one I love there is bound to be a struggle. "I am rather sure I can make the other man happy. My fam- ily like him, too. Do you think If I marry him I can forget my love?"

They never seem to be affectionate to each other; I've never seen them kiss except when father comes home. This seems strange to me, though of course they get along all right. Does it mean they don't love each other? "I am not allowed to date yet. They tell me to stick to my studies; this is hard, when all my girl friends go with boys.

SALLY'S SALLIES "Her voice has the range of an organ, but fewer stops." KULDIP'S COMEBACK—After making a big hit on the Groucho Marx show "You Bet Your Life" in 1956, handsome Indian singer Kuldip Singh fell victim to a series of Hollywood' ups and downs calculated to gray his thick, black hair. But now he thinks his troubles are over as he stars on Shirley Temple's "Storybook". series. Here he draws his sword to protect Princess Sue England in "Land of Green Ginger". NEW NOTE IN CHIVALRY—Sir Walter Raleigh had his cape and Warren Prince, a 17 -year-old gentleman, has his Juba, which also proves to be very handy in the rain. Shirley Sandusky, 14, the champion baton twirler, found the tuba a pretty good umbrella after a ,band competition. HRONICLES 1NGERFARM Last week the news highlights -- that is, locally — concerned the Women's Institute. One day there was a pot -luck luncheon at the Community Hail near here sponsored by a local branch. Each member was allowed to. bring two guests. It was a won- derful lunch -savoury scalloped dishes of this and that brought in piping hot, along with cold meat, chicken and so -on. And of course. there were plenty of pies, tarts, trifle and a birthday cake — all guaranteed to add inches to one's waist -line. If, we had such luncheons too often we might all be glad to take to "chemise" fashions. Of course it was all very friendly and in- formal. After lunch we had as guest speaker Mrs. E. L. Deigh- ton, Hydro Economist, who showed us "How To Live Better , Electrically". First she gave us a very interesting and informa- tive talk and then drove home her points by means of a movie, in colours, illustrating what can be done electrically, to improve working and living conditions in an older type home. How could any woman fail to be interested in such a topic? But just think how impossible all the sugges- tions would have been years ago when the W.I. was in its in- fancy! At that time housewives were more interested in easy ways to clean lamp chimineys or home remedies to ease croup or bronchitis when roads were drifted so badly it was doubtful if a doctor could get through. Yes, times have certain l y changed. And yet, it is rather nice occasionally to go back to someof the old-fashioned occu- pations. For instance there was that W.A. quilting bee I went to just recently. I really enjoyed the work, taking me back to the time years ago when quilting used to be a fascinating hobby for many women. And how .they ever did such fine work by the light of coal -oil lamps I'll never know. Nowadays quilting is -done un- der goad lights and maybe with a television program going on at the same time, disrupting the friendlygossip usuallyassociated with a quilting bee. But dear me, we have to keep up with the times. house they are thinking of buy- ing in the Milton district. Part- ner stayed home to await the rest of the family. The house Bob is thinking of -buying is quite handy to his ` work and within sight of "the Mountain" — the same Mountain that used to give me so much pleasure when we were on the farm.' If they do buy this house ive shall be able to take a short cut across country and thus by-pass the town - an advantage in these days of congested travelling through narrow streets. But Mil- ton is growing fast. It is soon to be the site of a two -million dollar building - a new home for the Deaf and Dumb. A. lovely pot of hyacinths was left on our doorstep while we were away — and we have not yet discovered the donor. Part- . neer was downstairs' and didn't - bear the bell ring. ' Some Advice For of the high cost of living and its reaction on the family as a whole. Yes, it was an evening out that we wouldn't have miss- ed for anything. In fact we were so anxious to be among those present that we, turned up for the banquet a day 'ahead of time! I was so sure I had been. told it was on a Thursday. After we had started on our way I began to have an uneasy feeling and said to Partner — "I wonder if it ts tonight usually they have these things on a Friday." Sure enough it was to be on Friday so we had two trips but only one banquet! It didn't matter anyway. Once we arrive in the neighbourhood of Ginger Farm there are always friends to visit. Friday night it was wet and snowy, miserable driving, but we arrived home in time tor Partner to see the last ten min- utes of the boxing bout on TV, Before we left we noticed quite a few old-timers heading home about 9.30 so I imagine Partner was not the only one wanting of see the fight. Yesterday we had all the fami- ly here and Partner and I were the only ones not suffering from a cough or cold, We love having all our grandsons together at one time. It is at such a' time we are glad we didn't settle for a smaller house. Plenty of room here for children to play and the dining -area accommo- dates eight or ten very nicely. Lill, a little neighbour -girl came over too in fact she is here almost every day, a quiet, well- behaved' girl whose birthplace was somewhere in Yugoslavia. Before we had. supper I went with Bob and Joy tb look at a The next W.I. diversion took place in our old Ginger Farm district and was the occasion of the 25th Anniversary. We had 'a turkey banquet — another branch in the same district doing the catering for us. It was a family affair - just for mem- bers, their husbands and. chil- dren. Of course we enjoyed be- ing back among our old neigh- bours and associates, especially as we noticed how well and con- tented those in our own age group seemed to be. It was the middle- aged group who appeared to be showing signs of stress. Which is understandable. They are the .' ones who now have to cope with problems incidental to raising teen-age' children, to say nothing Heart Sufferers "What the heart patient needs," the American Heart Association said last week, "is fewer don'ts and more advice on what he can do." Condition vary with every patient, and the doctor must supervise each life pattern. Generally these common - sense ruly apply: 1—If you are overweight, re- duce, but keep to a balanced diet of proteins, carbohydrates, fats, and fruit. 2—Exercise moderately; it im- proves circulation and ,aids di- gestion. Unless your doctor or- ders otherwise, you may smoke. Alcohol—highballs usually are allowed instead of cocktails. 3—A heart attack does not mean an end to a normal sex life. The doctor, of course, must advise each patient when sex relationscan be resumed, 4—Whether the patient Can go back to his old job, and how soon, depends on the severity of the attack and the job's de- mands. Generally, however, he can return to his same work in three to six months. 5—Stress is a critical factor. But don't slow down to an in- valid's pace; that may be as frustrating as overactivity. From Newsweek, Dead Letters. In Caldwell, Kans., six new refuse containers were repainted to read "Trash" instead of "Litter" after citizens insisted' on posting mail in them. MAN OF DESTINY?—The shadow of Gen. Charles DeGaulle, France's symbol of resistance, in World War 11, looms large over the current crisis in French politics. As ominous whispers circulate through France that the fall of the Fourth Republic is near at hand, some observ- ers believe DeGaulle is ready to break his three-year silence, and take a hand in government affairs. Modern - Etiquette e • by Roberta Lee Q. Are 'correspondence cards ingood taste? A. Yes; they are very popular and in good taste for the short, informal kind of note. It is be, coming more and more custom» ary for men and women to use these cards. However, they should be used for strictly 'in- formal correspondence. Q. Should all the women ba. served first at the dining table where men and women ars seated alternately? A. This would be a foolish waste of 'time. The guests should be served in regular sequence, whether man or woman. Q. If someone begins a joke you have already heard, should you stop him? A. If you are a member of a group, it would be discourteous to others who may not have previously heard the story. If, however, you are the sole lis- tener, it is quite all right to' say -you have already heard the joke Q. Do you think it necessary to have the approved "salad forks," or do the medium-sized regular forks serve the onto purpose? A, One may provide any shape or size of fork one wishes. The medium-sized is quite in good taste. Make An Heirleom a^w:a�e 'A 1'ti` ti•ti' -rye `—% Decorative cover for a table or to use as a -tablecloth for —!s special occasions.

ISSUE 16 — 1958 s BRIDGE ACROSS THE SEA—A 'girl with a bridge all her own is nine -year. -old Marisa Leonzio, who made headlines, recently when she wrote a plea for a span over a stream close to her home near ;Ni;bbiala, Italy. She wanted the bridge because the waters of the stream rise so high shewasoften unable to wade .across and had to make a four -mile detour to get to school. Marisa got her bridge to school and also one to America, when Columbia Pictures, who paid for her bridge in Italy, invited her to a' Washington premiere of its film, "The Bridge on the River Kwai", as a guest of the American Field Service.. She holds a model of the bridgein the film aganst the background, appropriately enough, of New York's Queens- boro Bridge.
