that caters to girls and ;young

FOOLISH FEARS
* Remember what first at-
* tracted you to the man you
a married? It was those very
* qualities that other people ad-
* mire. He is interested in
* people, and he's a patient
* listener; to these girls he is
* an older friend who can ad-
* vise them about their little
* problems, and they know he
* doesn't gossip.
* You married an attractive,
* successful man and now you
* wish you hadn't. Every time
* he chats with a customer you
* see her as a rival. Why? When
* he finally married, did he
* choose a teenager? He mar-
* ried you, a woman his age, old
* enough to have more common
* sense than you are showing
* now.
• Every one of these girls and
* young women represent your
* husband's (and your) source of
* income. He must be friendly
* to them all, or they'll shop
* somewhere else. Why don't
* you forget this foolish jealousy
* and get interested in them,
it too? If you did, they might
* confide in you instead. Think
* about this. (Some of these
* youngsters may be getting

* Few trials are so exasper-

MOTHER SEEKS WORK
'Dear Anne Hirst:
My husband and I have a
grave problem, We are trying
to find a way for our youngest
boy to finish high school. We
are both growing older, and suf-
fer the usual infirmities of our
age.
"Two older children are mar-
ried but they never helped us
out except in emergencies, and
were most ungracious. The boy
has tried in vain to find an after-
school job. I've never worked
for anyone else - just took care
of the children. I do enjoy nurs-
ing, though, and am good at it;
ao you think there is a chance
in that field for me?
"I've done my best for them
all - and see where it has left
m! TIRED OUT"
* Talk with your physician
and with your minister. They
know the needs of families and
* institutions in the neighbor-
* hood, and perhaps can recom-
* mend you for part-time sere-
* too heavily, and would car-
e ice. That would not tax you
tainly add something to your
0 income.
• It is disgraceful that your
* older children, who had every
* advantage, do not rally around
* and help the boy complete his
e education. Have you tried ap-
* preaching them practically?
Figuring a monthly sum to re-
lieve the emergency? They
* might be willing to contribute
* equally. I know how ashamed
e you both are of their differ-
* ence, and I sorrow with you
* *- *
When a husband or wife dis-
trusts the other, there can be
no foundation for the content-
ment that keeps a marriage
sweet. If you have this problem.
Anne Hirst can help. Write her

A WEDDING
WAS ARRANGED
The fiance of Giuseppini Curs,
had the annoying habit of post-
poning his wedding date. So
persistent did he become hi mak-
ing and breaking dates that rela-
tives of the girl decided to take
a hand in the affair.
Giusappini's father, two bro-
thers and an aunt waylaid the
erring suitor, kidnapped him and
locked him in a room with the
girl, while they took it in turns
to stand guard outside the room
all night.
And now, in a jail in Lagon
egro, Italy, the schemer are
working off prison sentences
ranging up to e year for their
part in the proceedines.

Great Fashion
House Honored
A hundred yearsis a great
age for a fashion house. Nut
many achieve it. Centenary
celebrations take on added im-
portance for being such rare oc-
casions.
The fashion house of Worth,
celebrating its 100th anniversary
in July of this year, is one oi.
the oldest couture houses in the
world.
Charles Worth, the founder,
son of a : poor solicitor, was ap-
prenticed till 1845 to Swan and
Edgar, a large store in Picca-
dilly Circus, London.
Without money and without
introductions, however, he was
drawn away to Paris and got a
job at Maison Gagelin, where ne
soon became chief designer, In
1858, Charles Worth launched
out on his own, opening a salon
in the rue de la Paix.
Worth's fortune was made
when his first court customer,
the Princess de Metternich,
brought the Princess Eugenie to
his salon. The ladies of the court
of the Second Empire followed,
demanding clothes for the many
state occasions and court balls,.
Fabulous days brought fabu-
lous clothes. More and more
material went into skirts and
Worth introduced the crinoline
to cope with draperies.
Despite his later efforts to
banish this symbol of elegance
and leisure, women clung to it
until the Second Empire col-
lapsed and the most austere
days of the Third Republic
brought the straighter lines worn
toward the end of the 19th cen-
tury.
By this time fashion -conscious
ladies of Boston and New York
had discovered Paris. In the
course of the Grand Tour of Eu-
rope they would stop off Lit
Worth's salon to order finery
In 1900, Worth, with the he'p
of his two sons, opened a Lon-
don house and continued to make
dresses during the Edwardian
and Georgian eras.
In addition to haute couture,
the house now has a boutique
where ready-mades are avail-
able at lower cost than couture
models. There is also the Miss
Worth department for younger
customers. Recognizing the
changed social and economic
pattern of its second century,
the house has even opened
wholesale showrooms where
collections are shown to buyers
from Great Britain and over.
sea,.
The house of Worth thus sym-
bolizes a century of fashion and
this is being graphieally illus-
trated to mark the centenary
At the Victoria and Albert Mu-
seum, James Laver organized
an exhibition of sketches of
Worth dresses, one for ever;
year from 1858 to 1958.
THEY REALLY
DIE LAUGHING
Many natives in New Guinea
are laughing themselves to death,
and doctors are worried about
it, In 1956, 60 natives died from
Kuru, or the laughing disease.
The disease begins with a
twitching of the fingers and soon
the victim is convulsed with
contnual, uncontrollable laugh-
ter until he dies.
The sickness attacks mainly
women and children. Doctors
are now trying to find out the
cause Of the laughing death"
Cannibalism and head-hunting
were common in many- ditsricts
of New Guinea until compara-
tively recently. And that was no
laughing matter

"A June here; an October
there, and a lot of hot air in
between."

I wonder how many readers of
this column saw Princess Marg-
aret? We were not among the
lucky number - much to our
regret. I suppose we could have
been but standing in line, pos-
eibly in the hot sun, is a little
more than we can stand now
But we did follow the Princess
on television wherever she went
and were completely captivated
by her naturalness and charm.
Similar reports have reached us
from those who did see her. In
fact it is my belief that Princess
Margaret has a tremendous ap-
peal for Canadian people and
that many were conscious of a
tightening of the throat re-
membering this friendly young
girl had not felt free to follow
the dictates of her own heart
in her personal life. My nephew,
Klemi, is spending the summer
at the Banff School of Fine Arts
and was playing the solo violin
ir, the Concerto that was player
for the Princess during her stay
al Banff. He sent me a glowing
account of the occasion.
But even if we didn't make
a trip to see the Princess we
haven't exactly been sitting at
home. No, indeed, we have seen
more of Ontario this past week
than at any time in our lives
I told you last week of our trip
to points above Flesherton. That
was followed by other drives -
;1) to Bass Lake, to a Provincial
Park overlooking Lake Simcoe;
(2) to Stoney Lake about 25
miles from Peterborough; and
(3) to Nottewasaga Bay in the
Midland district.
We had no idea there was such
varied and beautiful scenery in
Ontario. Any one of the pro-
vincial parks Is well worth a
visit. Our Department of Lands
and Forests deserves to be con
gratulated for its fine work in
fixing up accessible places that
provide beauty and convenience
tourists and picnic parties Bass
Lake, not far from Oiillia, is
typical. Massive trees give plenty
of shade, almost to the water's
edge. Picnic tables and benches
are in good supply and there is
a sheltered building with more
tables andbenches plus eight
barbecue grills for which there
is a plentiful supply of firewood,
cut and stacked. The building
has a stone wall about four feet
above floor level and a good
roof. So, rain or shine, there ie
always a good place for picnic
meals. The beach originally had
a stoney base but enough sand
has been trucked in to make it
suitable for children, especially
in the safety area for swimming.
The view and the coolness was
sc lovely I could have sat there
all day with the utmost content.
The next trip took us to about
25 miles north of Peterborough.
We had our lunch on the banks
of the Trent Canal in the lee
of the lift -locks. We climbed
the stone steps to the top of the
lock gates arid watched thein
Open for two small pleasure
boats to go through. From there
we went to Stoney Lake and
found a lovely little' beauty spot,
very secluded and yet not isolat-
ed. All kinds of trees - and
a very nice cottage for sale! The
shore -line was also well wooded
and apparently the lake provides
good fishing and boating, The
boys had a great time paddling
around in the shallow water.
We lazed around for about an
hour and then started for home
keeping. as close to the water's
edge as we could. We came past
Rice Lake just before sundown
and the view was one to re-
member. We stayed on the less
travelled highways until it was
almost dark, then we struck
across to Highways 401 and 27,
by then we were nearly home.
We practically had the south-
bound roads to ourselves and
were very thankful we were
heading south and not north,
where in some sections the cars
were travelling bumper to
bumper.
Considering the extreme heat
and humidity our grandsons were
really very good - in fact
splendid little travellers. Dee
brought a crib mattress along
with her in the trunk of the
car and when the boys were
tired she fixed it up on the back
seat where Dave and Eddie
settled down and went to sleep
as quietly as if they had been
in their own beds at home. Ten
months old Jerry was more of
a problemas he had to sleep on
his mother's lap most of the
time. But on the whole he was
very good, too.
Yesterday the rest of them
went to Midland but I stayed
home as so much driving with
the windows down gave Inc
cold in the glands of my neck
and was somewhat painful. 1
wanted to keep Jerry with me
but his mother was afraid he
might fuss so the only one to
stay with me was Honey Until
then she had gone on every trip,
sitting on the floor of the car,
getting the full benefit of the
ventilation and having. a swim
.every time we stopped near the
water. That is what I would
like to doright now - but
where? Guess I'll have to be
satisfied with a bath -tub or
shower. And be thankful that
we have it. There. was a time
when we didn't have that much.
I have only to look back a few
years to appreciate the modest
conveniences we vow enjoy.

Q. Certain relatives and friends
of ,Wine persist in kissing me on
the mouth when greeting me.
Without seeming rude, would it
be proper for me to turn my
cheek to them?
A. A good suggestion is that
you kiss the approaching friend
quickly on the cheek before she
has a chance at you.
