"Dear Atme Hirst: 1 feel litre
• I'm 25, but I'm only 17, --I have
done so many wrong things that
I wonder whether it is too late
to be good again? Three months
ago I met a married man, He
was honest and said he wasn't
single, but it didn't make any
difference to me; I let him come
to see me, and I fell in love.
"Last week I laid down the
law _ he'd have to choose be-
tween me and his wife, He chose
her, and said I must forget him!
"Only now that 1 am alone
do I realize what a fool 1 was.
My reputation is gone. Only
this crowd I gut in with will to
with me, and today I see what
a cheap lot they are ... I wish
other girls would realize that no
married man means a single girl
any coed.

FIGURES DO LIE
A mall who discovered the
joys of fishing rather late in
life bcc'anre even more insistent
than ordinary anglers upon re-
counting his many trieniehs to
sceptical acquaintances. Annoy-
ed by their thinly -veiled hints
that he was untruthful, he
bought a pair of scales and made
his friends watch while he
weighed the fish he had caught.
One evening a neighbour burst
in excitedly and sought permis-
ion to borrow the scales. He
was back -in ten minutes, his
face flushed with- delight.
"Congratulate me," he cried.

EVE:,Y MILE COUNTS—Thirteen-year-old Mary Bradshaw works
for humanity as she splices one, five, 10 and 20 -dollar bills
together in a "dollars for Udall" campaign. Winfield residents
hope to get $100 for each of the 18 miles between their com-
munity and tornado -ripped Udoll.
SAVE FOR A RAINY DAY—You'll have to, if you want to wear
either of these rainy -day fashions. Completely lined in wild
mink, the coat at left is woven of wool from the Andean
vicuna, has a generous collar that doubles as a hood on cold,
blustery days. At right, viewers are also being treated to a
glittering view of this 24 -carat gold -sprayed fitted jersey, which
features a full -circle skirt.

pleasurably so. A reacher of this
column carne in last Saturday
with a six -quart basket of En
glish wall -flowers • roots and
all -- just to show me wall-
flowers will and do grow in Can-
ada. These are a lovely deep
shade of old gold, in full bloom
and came straight out of her
own garden, She says they win-
ter very well. Evidently they
do for her . but here
I ,lust wonder. We get the full
force of the cold winter winds
so that even pansies give up the
ghost. However, there is noth-
ing like trying them out - at
least I shall have the pleasure
of looking at them all summer.
Two other visitors last week
came from Illinois. I'm begin-
ning to think a few people must
read this column!
I often think it would be nice
to have plenty of time to work
in the garden. One evening 1
went to see a friend's display
of tulips, They were very
beauii1UD--aii2Y must bring a
great deal of satisfaction to the
grower. Not that she has time
on her hands but it is evidently
the one hobby to which she gives
the most concentration. When
time is limited that is about all
one can do — decide on the hob-
by that gives the greatest plea-
sure and stay with it. Attempt
too many things and we achieve
nothing at all.

+•Calls of Greenock
was here and the two of them
cut down an elm tree near the
house whose branches were
touching the high tension wires
leading from the house to the
barn. In a had storm those
branches alight have caused a
short circuit,. Now the tree is
down we have that worry off
our minds. The grass is also
getting the once-over. It had
reached an unsightly length
but, due to lack of rain, it was
not yet unmanageable. Every-
thing .ie crying out for rain --
pastures, crops, gardens and
forest fires. We haven't got our
vegetable garden in yet. Not
much good thinking about it
while the ground is so dry. Un-
less, of course, we water it, and
that we will not attempt.
Our mail carrier tells 2110 the
starlings are giving trouble
again. We were not surprised to
hear it as one day I went for
the mail and found a starling
had nested in our box. We soon
put a stop to that. A few days
later I met the mailman at the
road. As he gave me the mail
he asked if there was anything
in the box, "No,' I answered,
"not even a starling."
"That's good news." he re-
marked, "because the other day
I gave a starling a free ride for
about a mile. It flew out of the
mail -box and into the car."
That would be startling to say
the least. One of the pesky things
got into our south bedroom last
week. The storm window was
still on and the only way the
'bird c o u Id have got in was
through the ventilation poles in
the storm window. It takes a
lot to stop a starling once it
takes a notion to go places. 1
think birds must be getting
tamer anyway, A neighbour

Spring and early sutra -tier
must be a lovely time for folks
who cannot see •-• at least as
lovely as it can be under the
circumstances. Most blind peo-
ple have an extraordinary sense
of smell and at this time of the
year the perfume - laden air is
different every week. Last week
it was early lilacs; this week
lilies of the valley, late lilac,
honeysuckle and double nar-
cissi. When the doors °peri the
sweet - scented air fills the
house. It must be wonderful to
smell the spring and summer if
one is denied the ability to see.
I think that idea of growing
perfumed flowers for the blind
was just lovely. We have a
yopng friend who is blind and
site loves to have flowers given
her and of course the first thing
she does is bury her face in the
blossoms to guess their identity
from the smell. -

HIS COMPLAINT
A very small dean married an
unusually tall and large widow.
A few weeks after the wedding
one of his friends came upon
him looking very glum.
"What's the matter?" asked
the friend. "Isn't your new wife
agreeable?" '
"She's kindness itself."
"Isn't she a good housekeeper
— a good cook?"
"None better in the world."
"Then what's the matter?"
"I'd be perfectly happy,'*
blurted the little man, "if peo-
ple didn't call me 'the widow'#
mite'!'
