"Again and again he promis- es he will not offend, but the same thing recurs. It is break- ing my heart. Can you help me? TEEN-AGER." "ALL IS VANITY" The young man is an in- * incurable romanticist, and like * the rest of them he cannot re- * sist flaunting his charms be- * fore all females present. His * vanity must be fed; he may * vow fidelity to you. but at * one smile from another pret- * ty face he is off to the con- * quest. This heartless trait is * usually born in the masculine * nature, and it doesn't dimin- * ish. It is egoism which trans- * rends every other quality. * Pity the girl he marries. ' She is doomed to a life of * faith given and betrayed, hope * renewed only to be Lost. In * every other way he is, 1 ex- * pest, honorable: but when * temptation comes he will con- * tinue to pursue the mirage * leaving you exasperated and * heartbroken. Such men are * contemptible yet pathetic fig- s ures. What intelligent girl * would choose to share their * ignoble fate? * If you really think of mar- * vying him, could you bear * down through the years to be * pitied by all who love you and * called a fool by those who e don't? Send him on the way * he has chosen. And don't fear e he will not exist without your * love. He will always manage * to corral another worshipper * to nourish his ego as you have, e and to insult as he has been * insulting you. * You can live without suck * a love, once you see him as * he is. I hope one day this con - • miming passion you can feel * will be bestowed upon a man * who will honor it. * * WIDOW SEEKS FRIENDS' "Dear Anne Hirst: I am a wid- ow and have moved to this small town of about 1,000 inhabitants, I find it lonely. I have met a very fine man, and twice we have talked about business. I find we have a lot in common, and I'd like to become better ac- quainted, I feel we could enjoy some pleasant hours together.

P Clarke Well, we never know from one week to the next what my• next column will be about. And maybe that is just as well. There are times when, if we were forewarned we might be fore- armed. On the other hand I think it is better that a merci- ful providence hides the future from our mortal eyes. It might be nice to know the good things that lie in store for us. But to know the bad . , how could we take it? Last Tuesday, I took the early train to Toronto. Generally I do my business first and finish the day by having a couple of hours with Daughter just before train time. But last Tuesday, while travelling along in the train, for no special reason at all I sud- denly decided I would stop off Parkdale and visit Daughter first. I was met at the door by Arthur and Dave and greeted with the news that Daughter was in hospital; had gone in the day before as an emergetcy. Some people might say 1 was psychic but I would prefer to think an Unseen Power directed my plans that day. 1 didn't know about Daughter being in the hospital because she has the foolish notion that Mother and Dad shouldn't be worried un- necessarily therefore we were not to be told, especially as she expected to be home again on the Thursday. In the meantime Joy was coming in to take charge of Dave. But things didn't pan out that way Daugh- ter didn't get along as well as wa3 expected and is still in the hospital. There had to be blood transfusions, penicillin and so on. However, she is coming along fine now and expects to be out Monday or Tuesday. Joy and Bob took David home to Oakville with them. They were here yesterday and they all seemed to he getting along to- gether very nicely. There is only one drawback — Dave has been denied the brother or sister he might have had come fall— but thank heaven, he still has a mother. So, in spite of upsett- ing events, we can still count our blessings It is no trouble at all to 'name them one by one'. Yes, last week was a busy week all right 1 was in Toron- to again last Friday—just to the hospital.

His job? To spend the day going round every part of the hospital with an oil -can and screwdriver attending to all squeaking doors and banging windows. It keeps him very busy. To his friends he jokes: "Mine's a hush-hush job." There's no end to the novel ways in which men and women can earn a living. In London there's a man who makes a good income writing other people's love letters. in New York a pret- ty and shapely girl spends many ,of her working hours in water —testing bathing costumes. She has to report whether they are proof against shrinking. In a fishing village near Cape- town lives a man who is paid to gaze out over the sea through binoculars. His job is to watch for shoals of fish and signal their presence to fishermen Some women who signed on at an employment exchange one autumn day explained that din- ing the summer they were em- ployed at a big fun fair as "pro- fessional screamers," They had been paid to "provoke excite- ment" on flip -flaps, roundabouts and joy wheels.

If the powers that be would experiment for just one year by staying on standard time all the year round then we would have some means of com- parison, some way to determine which is the better way for everyone concerned under pre- sent living and working condi- tions. One thing is certain, the sea- sons don't follow the calendar any more. Here it is nearly the first of May (will be before this gets into print), the land is prac- tically water-logged, and yet more rain fell last night and still more is predicted for today, so we are bound to have a very late seeding But the birds are faithful to the seasons, come wind or weather. Last Saturday Partner saw one poor exhausted little swallow return to the barn. He said the poor little thing was so "beat up" there wasn't a twitter out of it. It just sat on a beam in the stable and rested quietly all the time he was milking. That nearly always happens—one wee swal- low returns and two or three days later the rest of the fam- ily follow. I wonder does the first swallow go back to tell his friends it is all right to come back to their summer quarters.
