My husband isa good :man and a loyal one, but our married life has been a succession of mis- understandings that nearly part- ed us more than once. 1 have tried my best to see it through and it has not been easy, but. I've stuck to it—until the past five months . "It is another man of course, He is married, het he has me at his mercy. I cannot resist him. He swears he has never toyed anyone the way he loves me. 1 have been everything to him, and now I can't get free! I have treated him shabbily, told him I despise him, but he will not let me go, "When I realize what 1 have become, I nearly die ,of shame. Whatever my husband's faults, he does not deserve deceit. 1 never oelieved I could stoop to such mortal sin. "The man is devoted to his children and says he can never leave them. His wife believes he still cares for her, though he doesn't. But now she has heard about us, and I'm afraid she will be on the warpath soon. What- ever can I do to escape from this bondage?

Unless you end this clan- * gerous life, you are headed for • a scandal that will drag your * good husband with you. * Already the man's wife is * talking, and why shouldn't * she? Any day now the truth * will be known. As for you, * you know of other affairs the * man has had, and where those * weak women landed.

Now I find, to my amazement, 1 am in lovel "I don't think he loves me that way, or' perhaps he does and doesn't know it. He has always dated lots of girls, and I have listened to his ravings about them without any jealousy,• but now it is very different. I know I would be, so good for him, if he'd only wake _t p and realize I love him so. "How can I find out if he cares? Please help me, I certain- ly need it.

Of • course, you may not stir his * emotions at all; on the other * hand, he may have been in * love all along (in spite of his * other girls) and not realize e it until he discovers you are * not avaliable any time he feels * like dropping in. * Isn't it worth the chance? * So appear to be busy with * other friends so you have to * refuse seeing him when he * rings your doorbell. He may * suddenly find that his life is * quite empty without your com- * panionship, and awaken to a * love he did not know he felt. * If it fails, you will be better * off anyhow, having grown ac- * customed to not seeing him 50 * often, It is sad indeed when * love does not beget love, but * sometimes it does happen. * * * Write Anne Hirst frankly and get the benefit of her under- standings and her long experi- ence.

"ice l i�U /i�G✓ HRONICLES 1NGERFAR?4 6weado1.1.1%e P. Ctaeke We actually had some rain. Not much, not really half enough—just sufficient to make everything look fresh and green. However, we are tnank- ful for small mercies but kvik , hopefully for more. In the•hean• time the garden somehow con- tinues to grow and the nursery stock we put in seems none the worse for drought — thanks to the hose going every day even though the well -water hasn't the mineral properties of the rain from heaven to promote growth. Well, last week I told you what could be seen from my work- room window, now I'll tell you what we see from the living - room, remembering that our acre -lot. is sort of diamond shap- ed — or like a wedge of pie with a piece bitten off the tip, repre- senting the road allowance. To the extreme right of this view there is a background of trees— elm, ash, hickory, hawthorn and cherry. In a similar semicircle a little distance from the house there are ornamental trees and shrubs planted since we came here. Small, as yet, but in a yew years they should provide a little shade. What are they? Well, so far in trees we have a flowering crab, a honeylocust, several butternut and maples, butterfly bush, two small spruce trees and shrubs of forsythia, almond, spirea and lilac. And then between us and the road there is a small stand of native white ash. Of course neighboring houses. and gardens are not too far away. To our right a couple with an eight-year-old girl. They built the house themselvesand have laid out a nice garden. They spend hours every day digging, planting, watering and weeding. To our left a young couple with a year-old baby toddling around as smart as you please. But they lack a green thumb. Trees newly planted wither and die and they make nc attempt at gardening. Actually they haven't a chance. Phe girl isn't too strong and the boy is only home at week -ends. All he has time for is to cut the grass and take his wife shopping Across the road n the local doctor's residence, which in - eludes his office. ' If we ever thought doctors had an easy time we would have changed our minds by. now. There are patients coming, and going all the time; cars usually line the street most evenings and at in- tervels during the day We see the doctor come home—from the hospital or a house -call — and. before he can get a bite to eat or get a brief rest there are patients wafting for him. He doesn't have an office 'nurse so bis wife must be within ear- shot of the telephone - all the timh. Sometimes at night the doctor comes over here for a chat or to watch television but always we must keep the win- dow drapes slightly open so he can see if anyone calls at the office; — late at night it would most likely be an emergency. We find it quite interesting watching the vario.is patients come and go; babies in arms, a man on crutches ea an arm in a sling; a youngish woman with small children and another to come. Sometimes an ambo-'• lance comes and goes We don't know anything about the people: their Illnesses or injuries — and of course we don't ask questions —but I find it intriguing to let my imagination run riot and till in the gaps, But we won't be able to do it nuch longer as the doctor is,having a house and office built to his own speci- fications. It won't be far from here but on another road, more central, so consequently we shall have less to see from our living- room window. Well, I expected to be a grass widow this week as Partner had planned to spend a few days with Daughter, to get a few jobs done for her around the house: But yesterday she phoned .. . Dave appeared to have the chicken -pox. This morning an- other call — the spots were fad- ing without forming blisters — maybe it wasn't chicken -pox after all. Maybe not — it could be his mother had jumped to conclusions—the child next door having had chicken -pox. There is a large veranda at the front of the house with a safety -gate at the top of the steps. Here she puts Eddie out to play. Recently he has managed to climb over the veranda or under the gate. Now she has a harness on him with a rope attached He still gets out, goes as fax as the. rope will let him, and then climbs back again. Persistent ... that's Eddie's middle name. And now one little W.I. item— which isn't really "little' at all. Did you know the F.W.LC. had been given one of Canada's most unique awards — An inscribed beaver pelt for outstanding con- tributions to citizenship during the last 10 .years. The Citizen- ship Awards were presented at the Annual meeting of the Cana-, dian Citizenship Council, and presented by Gen. 11. D. Crerar, honorary president. Other re- cipients were the C.B.C., Cana- dian Institute of Public Affairs and the Library Association. Isn't it grand' that the W:I. should have been given this recognition for the work they have done? I am sure everyone will agree they deserved it. 'Did the man at the boat house give you a rain check:" They Fall 1n Love Faster Today " It was one of the busiest days the attractive young French tele•. ).hone operator had had;, for a long time, Everybody seemed to be making calls. Suddenly she neard an agitated male voice on the line. "Excuse me," the t oung man was saying, with a Spanish ac- cent, "but are you married?" The girl was in no mood for dalliance with an unknown and flirtatious stranger, se she snap- ' ped: "Number, please?" ' "1 don't want any particular number," said the young man insistently, "I just like your voice, I've made a dozen phone calls from this box today and the more I hear your voice the More I like it. But tell me first —are you married? ' The girl igncred his questinn and cut him off. Five minutes later the young man with the acce'ei was back again. The telep hone gill couldn't help:wonderir.g what he looked like and why he asked such' odd questions. And being heart -free, anyway, she agreed to meet him that evening. They met. She w a s amazed when he said simply: "I'm look- ing for a wife and 1 must find one quickly, I've had a secret tip from our family solicitor that my uncle plans to cut me out of his $75,000 -will if I'm not mar- ried by June 30th. He won't leave his money to a bachelor." The girl's head was in a whirl. She liked him; he was clearly sincere. But marriage' to him a stranger — within three months'! It was fantastic. Im- possible. Or was it? He went on talking. He said he had been trying to find a pretty, single girl /for the wlioee fortnight. while he was in France and had failed. Her attractive voice had given him the wild idea of met- ing her and proposing. She agreed to marry him. The uncle in Granada was delighted at his nephew's choice. The wed- ding was in Seville and the couple have now. settled down happily in Spain. More than 150 u omen who heard the story of a good-looking man's devotion to his little daughter after he had lost his wife, at once wrote to him and sixty of, them proposed marriage. The man was almost over- whelmed by this avalanche of love letters from total strangers. But after sifting the letters he wrote to half a dozen of the writers asking to see their photo- graphs. He selected the pretti- est and married her. Sometimes an impetuous lover who can't visit the girl 0f his choice rings her up on the long- distance telephone and pops the question over hundreds of miles of ocean. An American Serviceman did this 'after a fleeting chance meeting with a Swedish girl ie Stockholm. He had to start back home that same evening so di- rectly he got there he got busy ion the telephone. He had to ring her half a dozen times before she 'consent- ed . to marry hint. The calls cost nearly, $150. "She was worth it" he told a reporter when the news of their sudden romance bit the headlines its the United States.
