Seven months ago I met a• young man from a nearby town, and we've dated regularly ever since. Ile comes every week and etays over when he can; he takes me to the nicest places, and al- ways brings me lovely gifts, But as for a word love, there isn't any. ''From the first, he asked me not to see anybody else and the few times I did he lost his tem- per and declared lie couldn't trust me. He hurts my feelings (sometimes deliberately, I think) and then laughs it off, Yet I am crazy about him, Anne Hirst! I don't know. how much he cares, nor what his intentions are, if any. He hasn't even given me his class ring to wear. He says he'd come over more often, but he thinks I should spend my spare time studying. (I'm a high-school senior, and my grades are good./ "I can't stand this eneertainty any longer, Where do we go from here? WORRIED TO DEATH" YOUNG DICTATOR * Why will you girls let a boy * make the rules, and obey him * like a slave? Have you a mar- tyr complex? This domineer- * youngster has the effrontery * to demand you give up all * your other friends and sit at * home alone until he happens * to drop in. He tries to make * you over, implies you are ig- norant and lazy, and you sit * by and take it. * If you think this proves haw * much he loves you, you * couldn't he more wrong. He * is born dictator, and just now * you are his Iatiest victim. The * boy is so in love with himself * that he has none left for any - o one else. You: being, in love, * accept the mi ileo rule. --- * And for what? He has never * spoken a word of love. Ile * hasn't even °tiered his class. * ring fpr you to show your e friend who relc what'., going . * em.

You can't be certain of * that se. long ;le yon crawl to * his beckoning finger.

You will not relish this * counsel, hut if you ever hope * to win him it is the one way * you may succeed. If it does * not work, you can remind * yourself that he wasn't worth * having. Cold comfort. i know, * but you have asked for it. * * �, GIRL CONFUSED "Dear Anne Hirst: I am very mired up on thin, my pith birth- day. Boys seem to like me, but they won't accept my standards of how a lady should behave. "Why don't parents teach their children ( and warn them) how to behave? I am disgusted by how many nice girls and boys are reduced to petting! They seem to think that's the only reason for being friends. If they had been told one decent thing by their mothers, they would heed it ... No, I'm not an 'old- timer'. but I do have common sense. Why don't boys who are otherwise nice learn they must keep hands off? "I love my friends, but how HOT WORK - On location at the beach in San Diego for the filming of the Billy Wilder farce, "Some Like 1t Hot" Marilyn Monroe, Paul Strasberg and Tony Curtis go over lines in the shade of a beach tent. Acting Coach Strasberg apparently doesn't like it so hot. Tony and Jack Lem mon masquerade as women in the film. Marilyn, however (it's nice to know), just -plays her natural self. DOUBLE EXPOSURE -Alert pho- tographer caught double imago of a four.engined airliner tak- ing off from O'Hare Field. Air- line hostess Jean Boulay is tate gal behind the sunglasses. can 1 keep on loving them and still hold fast to my convictions? MIT7,IE" * Boys of the ale that attract * you are apt to set their own * standards of behavior, hit * they do learn from the girls * they date. * You, for one, will hold on * to your standards, and prove * to them that inutual respect * is the first cornerstone of * friendship. They aren't stupid, * they will get the idea; if they * don't want to be friends for your " own sake, they aren't fit to * see you at all. * I agree it is a pity that so * many parents are too self- * conscious to guide their chil- e dren in proper relationships * between the sexes, and warn * them of its dangers. * * * A girl should set the rules for the boys she dates. If he does not observe them she will know she is not important to him , Anne Hirst knows the ins-ancl- out of courtship. Write her frankly, at Box 1, 123 Eighteenth St., New Toronto, Ont. Q. What are the duties of the matron -of -honor while the wed- ding ceremony is taking place? A. She stands nearest the bride, takes her bouquet or grayer book while the ring is put on, returning them at the proper time, and she arranges the bride's train when she turns from the altar. 4 O?

Joy and baby .Ross came al- ong shortly before noon bring- ing with them an octogenarian friend whn had been looking for- ward to the meeting. Joy being Oen,: to receive people left hie free to meet our guest speaker et Cookeville, who was none othr r than Miss Ethel Chapman, eeitor of• that splendid little ma' Brine "Moine and Country". When we got back we found nearly, forty guests awaiting her arrival which did not surprise me at all. Miss Chapman is such a splendid speaker that she is always sure of an attentive and anpre.iative audience wherever she goo.e. Last Thursday was fie eyeeption. Miss Chapman's theme was eci- uc•ation - that is, in its widest scone. Education as it applies to W.I. work in particular. She em- phasized the importance of en- couraging and using local tal- ent as far as possible in arrang- ing programmes but agreed th .t it was also necessary to invite outside speekers for specialized subjects. As, for instance, e member of the Library Bear3 to explain how to nmalce the best use of library facilities; a rep- tesentative of schools for the re• Larded, outlining their work and the ways in which the W,I. can help; a speaker on the „deed for local conservation authority and a study of buymanship ferHbstere- purchasing needs. Miss l3ltapman was very strong on tli'e last named subject,. deplor,,;Yfg the modern trend in advertising; the mass hysteria in buying; going to a shopping centre with possibly fifteen items on our shopping list and coming home with twen- ty In effect she begged her lis- teners not to be • led astray by glib advertising; to estimate the worth, and the necessity, of their purchases and not to be overly concerned in having all the un- to -date gadgets just beceuse our neighbour has them. Don't be afraid to be different. Confor- mity has its merits, she agreed, but we must be on guard lest it kill originality and initiative of purpose. Those are just a few of the subjects touched on in Mies Chapman's address. There were many others. In fact it was full of suggestions that could well be made use of by any branch to planning its programmes. One very' good idea was Inc members to submit, anonymously, written suggestions as to what subjects or speakers they would like to see included in their monthly programmes. And then, after the meeting closed, what a buzz of voices! It was more conspicuous because of the quiet, rapt attention that had prevailed while Miss Chap- man was speaking. The lunch Committee "did itself proud" and' no one seemed,in a hurry, to get away. Finallthe last good- byes were said. Joy, Ross and our elderly guest also took their leave so then Miss Chapman and I took a short drive around the , country as I was anxious for 'her to see a few of the lovely residential spots in thin. district, streets and roads that the av- erage traveller along the high- • • way wouldn't even know exist- ed. When we got home again we found Partner had washed all he dishes, put the furniture beck where it belonged and gen- erally speaking had the house restored to a semblance of order. ft was a wonderful help. Some- times 1 have a feeling 1 chose the right man for a husband. Partner explains away his help- fulness by saying that because he can no longer do hard, physi- cal work, that leaves him free to do what he can in other ways. Incidentally I should _ menlmn 1 was out to another W meet- ing the day before at which Mrs.' Mary Fix, Reeve of Toronto Township was guest speaker. She gave us a very clear picture el her duties but unfortunately there was no time for a quee - tion period. That was just too bad as, being taxpayers, a neigh- bor and I, prompted by our re- spected husbands, had gone fir- ed with a few questions to which we wanted answers.. I brought back twenty chairs Mom the Wednesday meeting ready for my affair next da,,. Friday Partner and 1 took them back to the funeralparlour from whence we thought they came. But ownership was denied. Stu- pid me - I forgot there .w'ie more than one funeral parlour Finally we found the chairs came from Streetsville and so eventually they were duly re- turned to the proper owners, af- ter a little unnecessary travel- ling around the country.
