I thought he . was wonderful, and niy family liked him too. I fell in love ... A few weeks ago, just before he left for the. army, the same girl made a play for him and got him, "She is known for breaking up couples; I was too blind to see it, and didn't believe stories about her. She can get any boy she wants, and I know why; she doesn't • hold them long, but they're usually dumb enough to fall for her again. Now she feels so guilty she won't even speak to nie, "I know the boy really liked me until she double-crossed me. I would surely like to have him back even if he is in the army now. (He promised to write, but he hasn't and probably never will). "It there any way to win him again? I've tried dating other boys I know, but they always fall short. I'll do anything you say.

And * don't deceive yourself that a * girl takes one lad away from ° another girl; if this one had * thought as much of you as you * hoped, nobody else would * have stood a chance with him. ° It is your misfortune that you * fell in love; that doesn't mean, * of course, that he did, * Keep on dating other friends * —you would while he is away in any event. At first they * may not seem exciting, but it * pays to keep in circulation es- * pecially when you are so de - e pressed; you will be going * places and doing things, and * you'll be cheered up.

She is the * wrong sort, and ,others might * think you are, too. * * * THOUGHTLESS MAN "Dear Anne Hirst: We have been married four months, and I'ni crazy about me husband. Already, though, he is a prob- lem. He has got into the habit of coming home any time he likes, without even telephoning. 1 am neither suspicious nor jealous, but his office routine is established, o why should he stay downtown with men friends while I wait at home on edge and trying to keep dinner hot? "To be fair, I should tell you he is an orphan and never had a real home. Since he grew up he's been living in boarding- houses and furnished rooms, where he could have his meals out whenever he chose. What is the tactful way to impress our present need of regularity? BRIDE" Before he married, your * husband seldom had to keep e regular hours, and I am sure * he hes no idea how his being * late upsets your routine. It a e home is to be ' well -ordered. • a wife must follow a schedule; * if her husband does not con- ' form to it the schedule is e bound to be upset, to say " nothing of the persona! war- * ry to her and a dinner spoiled. * Remind the man that your * busines of keopiug house re- * quires a routine, too, and ask * him to set a convenient hour o for dinner and be on time for * . it. " Don't make it 00 unpleasant e issue. of eouese, but let him o know you cannot run his * household properly without e hie co-operation, I expect he e will need only one mention • of it. Don't despair if a new boy ,friend doesn't continue dating you. None of us can please everyone we meet; we can, how- ever, stay in circulation and en- courage new friends ... It this problem has bothered you, ask Acne Hirst's advice. Write her at Box 1, 123 Eighteenth St., New Toronto, Ont. 1MAGNOSIS A doctor in Toronto still has- n't gotten over his indignation. In a burst of frankness, he told a patient, "To be candid with you, I'm hating 0 great deal of difficulty in dagnosing your ail- ment. Maybe it's tor, much liquor." "That's all right, Doc," said the man. You can take another crack at it tomorrow when you're sober." SMILES DESPITE HANDICAP—The little fellow, is putting ®1l his heart into learning how to walk with the is of his friend, the therapist, and the aid of parallel bars. He typifies the 100,000 children who wilt benefit from the annual Easter Seal Appeal, sponsored by the National Society for Crippled Children and Adults. NO, NOBODY'S IN THEM --This is what Ole Man Winter did to the laundry of Mrs. Michael W. Rouse in Rochester, N.Y. Zero temperatures there left the citizens of Rochester cold, too, but not, we hope, as stiff. Coffee Grounds For ', ivorce Coffee is up in price and, •ac- cording to experts, will be still dearer, It's a case of greater de- mand. All over the world people are drinking more cofTee. In some parts of Arabia people drink as many as 30 cups of coffee a day, 'The fact that one husband there failed some time ago to keep his wife supplied with coffee was considered cruelty and legal grounds for divorce. In 'Europe tlu•y have been drinking coffee since 1683, when the 'lurks were defeated at Vienna. An Austrian soldier was rewarded by his Emperor for bravery by being allowed to take anything he wished from some of the Turks who were hie prisonc.ie. Ile took from one Turk a recipe which showed bow "per- fect coffee" could be brewed. When he was demobbed, the Austrian opened a coffee-house in Vienna --the forerunner of toffee -houses all over the world. London used to have 3,000 coffee-houses. Today they • are becoming Popular again in the capital and other big cities. Before Brazil had coffee as a national beverage many pcopte used it as a household medicine against diseases. Some people there still use coffee as a general disinfectant and eye lotion. At one time coffee drinking in Germany was permitted to only a few very wealthy holders of government licences. Men were employed to spy on people to see that they 'did not 'drink it, They used to follow the smell of roasting cpMTee • to seep nut those who did not have per- mits. The smell of roasting coffee is unique and lasting. Sailors have said that they can smell green coffee in the warehouses and plantations of Brazil more than a hundred miles out to sea What a terrible din there'd be if we all made as much noise when things go right as we do when things go wrong. ad Writing A newly formed organization, "Handwriting Foundation, Inc.," has set out to restore legibility to American script. This news alone is almost as heartening as the innovation of the "typewriter signature" which took place around. 1918. i If the endeavor succeeds we will ' have witnessed a revolution comparable to the invention of the typewriter itself. Not that bad handwriting is a problem of the present day alone. There is, of course, tee story (perhaps apocryphai ) which Mark Twain tells about Horace Greeley's atrocious handwriting, Answering one of his loyal subscribers, a good lady in Kansas whose son had acquired an obsession -for mak- ing turpentine wine, Mr. Greeley sent a letter by his own pen. It appeared completely illegible, and the key sentence was de- ciphered at first "Boston, botany - cakes, .folony undertakes but whn shall allay?" .This seemed highly irrelevant. Another arta third attempt got no better results. "Butter but any cakes, fill any undertaker, we'll wear* him' from his filly." Finally, 'one of Mr. Greeley's clerks sent a transletion: "But diet, bathing, etc. etc., followed uniformly, wilt wean him from his folly." We know r than who, in his childhood, was first taught ver- tical writing, then backhand, then "Speneerian." The result must be seen to be believed. (This editorial, it so happens, was written in long hand. There were considerable doubts, while transcribing it the next morning, as to what was orig- inally said.—From The Christian Science Monitor, YQ•�p� �"`�w_r1•p�•.,y�p�ryw. �`.t HRON ICL V hNGERFARM ' After hearing reports of the awful snowstorms in Manitoba it seems incredible that we were annoyed yesterday because it was warm and sunny! "Annoy ed ... because it was warm and sunny?" Yes. but wait until you hear- why. For several weeks Bob and Joy had been wanting us to go down some Sunday for a turkey dinner, The catch was this; The turkey was in the freezer so we had to let them know Friday night if we were coining on Sunday: All last week we planned to go as of yesterday, Then carne Friday. All through the day the weather forecast was for mild weather with some snow, changing to rain or freezing rain on Sunday. That fixed it, There was already quite a bit of snow around the barn so that melting snow, plus more wet snow, plus rain or freezing rain, meant plenty of shovelling for partner, ditches to run to keep the water from backing up into the stable. I phoned Joy and explained the situation. Then tame Saturday — dull, thawing a bit. but no rain. although it was still pre- dicted. Then Sunday . . a love- ly day, the nicest Sunday one could pessibly wish for. So now I think you will understand. The "probs" couldn't have been more wrong. Motorists were certainly tak ing advantage of the good weather yesterday. A steady hurp of cars on the highway all day long. .Different from ten years ago when the travelling public avoided this road because of its numerous potholes. The road was a hazard then to mo- torists -- now it is a hazard to pedestrians. And half of them don't realize it. Time after time I have passed people walking on the wrong side of the road. That is bad enough in daylight but at night it is —' or might be — a short cut to Eternity. If a person who usually drives a ear has to walk on the highway, you can be almost certain he won't be found walking on the wrong side of the road.

Safety education should begin with the parents but if the parents don't observe the rules of the road, what can one expect from the children? In an accident the fault doesn't always lie with the motorist. Another thing for pedestrians to remember, par- ticularly the older folk who are usually in dark clothing, that bright sun can be as blinding to the motorist as glaring head= lights, Under such conditions pedestrians should be particu- larly cautious in crossing streets or highways. Well, there you have it . . , and you have heard or read it a dozen times. before. But didit register? That is what counts. Well now, here is a good piece of news, be the weather what it may. Last Monday Partner heard a crow for the first time, As for starlings they are con- gregating in the tops of the trees, singing away in great style. Starlings can sing you. know — gome people think they can't. Whether they have any distinctive song is hard to tell ' as they have a way of imitating so many other birds. At this time of year one is likely to mis- take the starling for a robin. Don't let it fool you -- just be • sure that bird you hear has a red breast before you joyously announce the arrival of the first robin. And here is another piece of good news I have been saving to tell you. Of course it may not be news to all of you, but it will be to some, especially if you have shared my experience of cooking potatoes every way you could think of and still had them go black. Well, we don't need to worry tidy more. We can have potat,ie:: white and mealy, just the way we like then, by adding a little vinegar to the water in which they are boiled: Not much-- not more than a teaspoonful. Try it --- you'll love the result. But don't give me the credit — it was a clerk in a grocery who gave me the tip. And I gladly pass it on to you. But here is a little item that is our own discovery, and it is quite significant. We have found that people who always use margarine .lose their taste for butter. Margarine is practically tasteless; all it does to the pal- ate is take away the dryness from one's bread or toast. This was revealed to us by some young friends who were here to supper one night. The con- versation got around to the sub ject of butter versus margarine. Fred, after helping himself HERE'S HEALTH SA1DIE SMALL HAS A MOTHER WISE WHO KNOWS HOW TO ECONOMIZE.

"You know," he explained, "1 have got so used to margarine 1 don't like butter any more. It well, I don't know how it is, but it .seems to have TOO MUCH flavour!" There was nothing wrong with our butter, mind you, it was just plain, fresh creamery butter, but it certainly had more flavour than margarine. So there we have another angle to the batter problem quite apart front what it costs. Incidentally farm eco- nomists claim that butter, sell- ing at 65 cents a pound cost on the average $1.08 to produce, And margarine advertised this week at 29 eentsl But just wait — instant dry mills powder is coming on the market.
