My hus- band has had a shop for 15 years that caters to girls and ;young women. They flock in and flirt with him, and hold long conver- sations that they ,don't know I overhear. When I ask him what they talk about, he won't tell me and that makes me furious. "We aren't youngsters, we're both 45 and got married three. years ago. He isn't a man who talks much, and he never con- fides in anybody; but it seems he would rather chat with these teenagers than with me! I al- most hate every one of them. I work as hard as he does, but does he pay any attention to me? "I don't know quite what to do, but I'm going to stop this nonsense. I won't take it any longer.

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.

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. SALLY'S SALLIES • "Many are taking up weights lifting. Tt'Is a sort of Sputnuc effect, 1, guess." 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 "What is Summer?" "A June here; an October there, and a lot of hot air in between." BACKSTAGE VISITOR - Princess Margaret Is chatting with actor Mervyn Blake after she saw a production of "A Winter's Tale," at the Shakespeare Festival in Stratford, Ont. Blake is playing the role of a shepherd in the play. • ICLES 1NGERFARM etoe 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. Modern Etiquette by Roberta Lee Q.
