"Dear Anne Hirst: A cousin
of mine, 25, shares my apart-
ment; we are good friends, and
she has a nice job, too. She has
had several dates lately with

seriously until a few months
ago. This one she fell for in the
traditional ton -of -brick style..,
"When they'd dated about a
month, she learned he was mar

tied. He hasn't seen his wife for
two years, he told her, and is
getting a divorce. He told her
all about his people, his busi-
ness, and his friends, whom he
wants her to meet, But shouldn't
he have told her all this when
they first met?
"She won't listen to anything
I say. She says this is the first
nen she's ever loved, and she is
cure he loves her. Don't you
:hink she should stop seeing
aim? I am so fond of her I
don't want to see her hurt, and
she surely would be a vulner-
able victim if he's not on the

to handle her,

"Dear Anne Hirst: About this
time last year, I wrote you of
my weakness. Though I loved
my husband, I almost went
overboard for another man and
I was so confused I didn't know
where my heart was. I wrote to
you, and this is a- tardy ack-
nowledgment of your under-
standing counsel . , .
'Thank geodrecs, my husband
)'-ever knew. But my sense of
guilt persistent and far the past
year I have devoted myself to
him !n new ways I found to
make him happy. That has
brought me the reward you as-
sured would come, and has giv-
en cur marriage new mean-

ANONYMOUS."
* I share with you the happi-
ness you have today, and appre-

counsel I offered was not easy
to follow, but you had faith
and courage, and now you have
found the peace you lost for a
little while.

Wed Three Tinges
To Same Bride
In cine of the greenest suburbs
of Berlin, in the home of their
dreams — blitzed and then rebuilt
among the rubble — live an old
couple who were once feted every-
where around the world. •
Fritz Kreisler', the famed violho-
ist, is now in his eighty-second year.
But at his side there is still the
frank -eyed w o m a n who used to
watch him nrelntmed 1), queens and
kings and say, "]'here is ray dart-

Darby and Joan, indeed ` "111 the
autumn of life," says Kreisler; "eve
stand stronger than ever, united
through companionship and deep un-
derstanding, grateful for the hap-
py past, enjoying the present . , . "
But turn back the clock to the
days when Fritz Kreisler, slim and
handsome in his twenties, steeds
the deck of an Atlantic liner. Cele-
brity banters among the passengers
may have marked hint down as their
lawful prey and perhaps were eon-
sidering how best to angle for a
meeting.
They little snspeetcd they were
watching a crisis in the life of a
genius. Kreisler seemed pre -occur
pied as if lost in a world of mu-
sic. But in reality he was think-
ing about a hat.
In the little hnherdashery shop
on board he had seen a blue beret -
like (rap. Perhaps it was as suit-
able for a woman as for a man,
but on an ocean voyage one had
to defeat the wind,
He :meed into the shop and there
it was — a blue cap, unobtrusive
and yet the instrumentof destiny.
"I'll take it with me:" Kreisler
ann'uneed. "How much is It?"
"ee,, 11,:rr," said a yoke behind
hit((. ',Thai's the very cap I want-
ed."
Knish turned and slew the
most captivating girl he had ever
encountered in his life. To this dray
he even remembers the costume she
was wearing — n neat little outfit,
the colutlr of trine,
Harriet Lies looked at her rival
with Amerlean candour and puzzle-
ment crept Into her eyes. Where
had she seen his fare before?
"1'c•«r lady, please take the
rap :" he begged her,
IHarriet iiemumeet, but Kreisler
laughed. He had come to the COM
elusion that in any case it WUS u
ti'uumtr's hat and would have look-
ed absurd on him. Iiarriet accepted
in the end. She left hhn, express-
ing her thanks and adding a very
definite "(loud day!" And Kreisler •
strolled back along the deck to re-
join 1t friend with his heart filled
with hn'xelleable- emotions.
"Pve ,lust met my wife!" he de-
clared,
"11M. you're not married; the
friend retorted, lnei'edWuusly.
"No, hat I'm going to he!"
"To whoa('!"
Kreisler realized that he dict not
even know her mune. But a
beautiful girl with a little blue cap
on a liner in the middle of the
ocean would not be like lookingfor
the proverbial needle in a haystack.
And he saw her that evening.
Next meriting the rap was perkily
«denting her bead.
They recall their first meeting
after all those years. On leaving
the strap Harriet, too, had gone
straight to her friends to say she
had fallen in lute with at unknown
man, And while Kreisler had been
desperately searching the ship for
someone who could effete an intro-
duction, she had been doing the
same!
]'here's something in the Dir on
a tralsallm1111' voyage. Kreisler
and Harriet were by no means the
only 011(11le tostare nt the moon,
10 11(4111 to 111* wash of the ship
and imngine that fate had intended
there for each other. Defiantly
they announced their engagement,
despite friends who thought that
shipboard engagements were made
to be broken.
But once ashore — when Harriet
went to her parents In New York—
their certainty persisted. They were
married in New York City.
Their honeymoon was another
transatlantic crossing, to comply
with the arrangements of a tour
that the violinist had to undertake

in London!
Nor was this the only ceremony.

Ilarriet has often declared: "1
live for nobody but Fritz!" Kreis-
ler once said "Success is ephem-
eral but love is everlasting."
Destiny decreed that this couple
should have no children. But there
soon begun Harriet's remarkable
mothering of many children.

their happiness to the violinist and
his wife, The fess earned by pour-

hundreds of guests and called Har-

pay tribute to her Fritz — and in
tones eholted with emotion she

Are Most Animals
Colour Blind?
Ain most animals colour blind,
or blind to certain colours? To
find the answer to this question,
scientists pian to conduct a series
of harmless experiments in the
United States this summer,
It is already known that few
dogs have a sense of colour. House
dogs show no preference for a red
carpet or rug over a blue or vari-
coloured one and seen(( to express
no curiosity whether their owners
wear bright -coloured or dark clothes.
Cats seldom seem to distinguish
colours and show no partiality for
bright hues.
Monkeys are believed to see prat
deal(, the save colours as people.
At the University of Wisconsin a
few years ago, Dr. B. Weinstein
experimented with Corry, a mon-
key, to find out if he could sort out
objects by colour.
Corry bad to look at an assort-
ment of red and blue flowerpots,
glass ashtrays, skeins of wool,
feathers, cups, thimbles and blocks.
Then he had to try to separate the
blues when given a cue in the form
of an uncoloured, elliptical block,
and the reds when the cue was an
uncoloured, triangular block.
Once he was given the proper
cue, the monkey nnhesitantly pick-
ed out blues from reds and reds
troet buses. Dr. Weinstein also tried
to get him to respond to the spoken
word "red" or "blue" but Corry
failed in this test.
Another scientist- proved by an
ingenious test that chickens hardly
notice violet, indigo and . blue. In
a dark room with seven colours
projected on to the floor, be found
that the Cowls at once picked up
grains of rice lying in the red, yel-
low, orange and green rays, hut
paid no attention to the food that
was coloured r-iolet,
