"Dear Anne Hirst:
My little daughter and I live
with parents, who look after
her while I am working. (I am
not married.) Life here is miser-
able for me; my father and mo-
ther object to every man 1 date,
and treat me as though I were
a moron. Why can't they see
that I have lived and learned
and know my way around? I
try to be a good mother, too.
Still they nag me continually.
Et is getting me' down.
"I've been dating a married
man who has Started his divorce.
lie is wonderful to me and I
love him, but don't want him to
know it yet. He takes other girls
out now and then, but says it is
me he really cares for,
'WORRIED SICK"

* Yes, my friend, you have
* lived, but how much have you ,
* learned?
* Dating a married man! Risk-
* ing your good name for the
* second time! Dishonoring
* your parents, after burdening
* them with the care of your
* child! Now distressing them
* almost beyond belief, so de-
* termined are you to live your
* own life and challenge all their
* efforts to guide you?
* Don't think of leaving this
* home you have -and isn't it
* about time you grow up and
* show some appreciation of the
* protection yourparents are
* trying to provide? What is it
you want of life? Just your
* own way? See where that has
* landed you se far—in shame,
* which is shared by your fain-
* ily and, I hope, some remorse.
* I do not wish to be harsh,
* but surely you realize that
* your first mission in life now
* is to live the good life, and
* raise your little girl to be a
* fine young woman. If you are
* ever to recover the respect of
* your community, and make
* that girl proud, you will have
* to accept your duty and be
* content with it for a long time
* to come.
* To be running around with
* a man who still has a wife
* is to court gossip of the low-
" est sort, which again reflects
* on your family. 'You need not
* live a life of secluion, but
* the least you can do in all
* conscience is to pay your debt
o to society with prudence and
dignity.
• I can only hope you will
t` cease seeing the man now, and
e refuse to have anything to do
a with him until he is free. That
* course will win his respect,

FALSE FRIEND?
"Dear Anne Hirst:
I have heard that girls were
catty, but never knew one be-
fore. I've been going with a
new boy for a couple of months,
and I fell hard. I was stupid
enough to take him on a double
date with my best (?) girl friend
and her beau, and now she has
my beau on the string!
"Of course, I don't speak to
her anymore, and I could just
burst into tears when I see them
together. How can I get him
back?
GABS"
* The boy will come back to
* you when he wants to, not be-
* fore. If and when he does, he
* will walk calmly in one even-
* ing and expect a warm wel-
* come with no questions asked.
* Girls don't steal boys from
* each other. The lad leaves of
* his own free will because the
* other girl is niore attractive
* or because he is bored with
* his present date.
* Maybe you showed this lad
* too soon that you cared for
* him; with a new beau, that is
* apt to be fatal. Boys feel that
* the initiative is their privilege,
* and the harder a girl is to win
* the more they want her. Next
* time, don't let your heart go
* until the lad speaks for bins-
* self.
• Don't be so childish as to
* stop speaking to your girl
* friend. Show her that no boy
* is worth her friendship. We
* need as many nice girls for
* friends as we can get, and the
* teen years are the easiest time
* to make them,
* e *
None of us is as clever as we
think. It pays to listen to wise
counsel. If you think, for in-
stance, your parents are unrea-
sonable, ask Anne Hirst to ex-
plain their stand. Write her at

Modern Etiquette
by Roberta Lee
Q. What should a young mean
do when at a party or other
function, and he finds liimself
next to a girl to whom he has
not been introduced?
A. He can say, "'1 am Paul
Sprague. I do not believe 1 have
met you."
Q. What is considered the
proper length of time between
the announcement of the en-
gagement and the wedding?
A, There is no definite rule,
this depending naturally upon
circumstances, Usually, the
maximum is six months, and if
a couple anticipates a greater
length of time, they will post-
pone the announcement of their
engagement until they are fairly
certain of the date of their mar-
riage.
Q. Is it permissible to mail a
joint wedding invitation to an
engaged couple, or must an in-
dividual invitation be sent to
each?
A. Correctly an individual in-
vitation should be sent to each.
However, ,if you are running
short of invitations, you could be
forgiven for mailing a joint in.
vitation to this couple. In this
case, you address the outer en-
velope to the girl, "Miss Jane
Miller," and the inside enve'ope
to Miss Miller and Mr. Robert,
Collins."
"Show me something less ex-
pensive. My roommate doesn't
rate $12 an ounce."

HItONICLES
iINGERFARM
6v¢ndotvne P. Cta�4e
We were back to our old
haunts last week — that is, in'
and around Ginger Farm. We
shall be glad when the trees are
in leaf so the house won't look
quite so uncared for. A young
couple with four small children
have it rented at the moment so
the inside of the house looks all
right but the outside is scream-
ing for paint and repairs. It had
started whimpering 'long before
we left but now the whimpering
has become a mournful wailing.
The fields, too, are a sight to see,
thick with weeds and old, uncut
hay. Strange, isn't it, how so
much land and so many build-
ings must deterioriate to make
way for expansion and progress
— to say nothing of the sacrifice
of trees. In the space of twenty
miles we must have passed the
stumps of over a hundred newly -
felled trees. Road widening made
their removal absolutely neces-
sary. Strangers driving along the
road wouldn't miss the trees but
we, who know every mile, note
the changes with dismay, al-
though we realise changes are
inevitable.
Our trip to the country was
partly on David's account. Ever
since he came here to recuperate
he has been wanting to know
where grandpa's barn had gone
to and usually ended up by say-
ing — "Some day we'll find it,
won't we?" Sure enuogh when
we stopped at the entrance to
Ginger Farm he knew it —
'Look. Gramp . . . see, there's
your barn!" He was so excited.
When we were living there we
didn't realise how much the farm
meant to him or how he would
miss all the animals. Now we
know it doesn't make us any
happier. There are many things
a child can get along without
but country life isn't one of
them. An intimate knowledge of
farm life and farm animals
should be a birthright for small
children.
Not but what David is perfect-
ly happy where we are. With an
acre of ground to play around
in he isn't exactly cooped up.
He went home last Saturday af-
ter his recuperation holiday, He
had rcruperaled all right — to
the point that he was full of the
old Nick, starting at six -thirty
in the morning. Now we feel we
should take time out to recuper-
ate! But I doubt if we get the
chance for awhile as we are do-
ing a stint of baby-sitting while
Joy and Bob get ready to move
— varnishing and waxing floors
while their new house is still
empty. In fact I am beginning to
think being a grandmother is a
full-time job. And even when
our grandchildren are not here
we hardly know the difference.
Neighbour children play on the
swings, come to the house for a
little visit or to see the kittens.
Our place is getting to be "The
Crescent Playground". And
that's the way we like it —'with
limitations. Yesterday the door-
bell started ringing when I was
dying for a snooze. Partner sent
the children away and told them
to come back at four o'clock. It
was 3:40 when they returned.
Lily looked at the clock and said
"I guess we came twenty min-
utes too soon, didn't we?" They
are all cute kids, never really
give us any trouble and they
have plenty of fun with an extra
yard to play in.
Well seasonal events are grad-
ually becoming a thing of the
past. Now the National Hockey
League playoffs are over. And
what a wonderful wind-up it
was with Canadiens and the
Bruins fighting every inch of the
way.
Next week we round another
annual milestone — the change-
over 10 Daylight Saving Time,
in spite of all the protests to the
contrary. I wonder if Standard -
timers will ever win out? If the
powers that be really must in-
sist on changing the time I think
it would be far better if it went
into effect from the end of March
until the end of September in-
stead
nstead of April to October, the
present set-up. It wouldn't be too
_much of a hardship getting up
an hour earlier in the spring but
I dread the thought of October
when one's energy is naturally.
at a low ebb. I haven't seen that
suggestion put forth at all, so
I offer it for what it is worth.
Too late to be much good now
but maybe come 'October, some.
folk may be ready to give -it a
little thought. `
Another little homely news
item: Maybe those who are in-
terested in crochet work may re-
' member. I mentioned having
started a crochet bed -spread.
That was my winter Television
work. Now it is' finished. It took
me exactly ten weeks to com-•
plete •at a' cost. of $7.50 for cot-
ton warp - but I wonder how
much in time! But that is only
half the story. The spread is for
one of the twin beds so now I
ntust get busy right away on its
mate. That will be my summer •
work = at times when it may
be too hot to do anything more
energetic. I can also take it along
with me on various visits Part-
ner and I hope to make in the.
not -too distant future. I am
never really happy unless I have
something to occupy 'my hands.
The Show Went On
When 1,300 members . pf the
International Brotherhood of.
Electrical Workers struck CBS
television last week over a con-
tractual dispute, the network's
young men in gray flannel suits
were ready, willing, and in some
cases even able. They had taken
six classes in practical TV opera-
tions last fall in anticipation of
just such a situation, and more
than 300 of them who ordinarily
get from $10,000 to $20,000 a
year for administrative desk jobs
in board chairman William S,
Paley's organization shucked
coats and began manning cam-
eras, dollies, and complicated
sound equipment.
After three days of it, Beryl
Reubens, CBS's news publicity
man, who spent the week handl-
ing sound effects as a member
of a crew which included a net-
work producer, two salesmen, a
casting director, and a promotion
man, smiled bravely: "It's going
fine now, except our feet are
killing us." Meantime, of course,
there had been a few unexpected
developments on and off cam-
era; In the middle of a charming
rendition of "April Showers" on ,
"The Big 'Record", Patti Page
who was supposed to be sitting
in a light shower, was drenched
by a bucket of water. ("Stop,
already!" she shrieked). In the
middle of a climactic scene in
the soap opera "Edge of Night",
an actress abruptly stood up and
banged her head on a boom -
mike. On the same program the
commercial suddenly went blank.
During a telephone conversation,
what was supposed to be a
faintly heard voice on the other
end came out loud and clear,
and this end soft and distant.
"Dead air" and sound -without -
sight were regular occurences all
week.
One actress, reporting on a
set for. a role in a daytime serial,
glanced at the amateur stage
crew assembled to handle tech-
nical details and asked archly::
"Which one of you is Mr. Paley?""
By last weekend, though, the
gray ,flannel boys were worried;
only about the paper work ac-
cumulating on their desks back
on Madison Avenue. "It's been
like opening in New Haven with
every show," said executive Bola
Peyson.
