FIRST LOVE RETURNS
"Dear Anne Hirst: For sever-
al years I went with a high-
school student whom I really
loved. But things happened, and
met an older man whom I
married. We have been happy
together, but I've often longed
to know what became of my
first bean.
"Now I hear he is back in
town. How I'd like to see him
and get acquainted again, find
out if he has a girl and so on!
Would it be all right to write
him and ask him to drop in?
"One time you wrote that first
love is something really special,
and never really leaves a girl's
heart again. So isn't my inter-
est in him natural?'
WONDERING."
* I'm afraid you have been
* seeing too many romantic
movies. If you and your bus-
* band are happily married, why
* shouldn't this lad spend an
* evening with you two? Don't
write him, but when you see
him on the street, ask him
e if he would like to meet your
* husband.
• A first love is special in that
* it is a girl's earliest emotion-
* al experience and she never
* entirely forgets it, But after
* she is married, it becomes
* part of her background — not
• an important part, at that.
* *
Why waste your love en a
man wile will only repay you
in more heartbreak? Life is too
short to squander on an ingrate.
Anne Hirst will help you re-
gain your poise and eonfideece,
if you write to ber at Box 1,
123 Eighteenth St., New Toron-
to, Ont., about your problem.

Some habits aue good, some
are bad, but this aeabit the wea-
therman has of always staging
a storm over the week -end isn't
welcome at all. Especially as it
comes just around chore and
supper time. We had six extra
for supper on Sunday and they
arrived just half an hour ahead
of the storm. As I watched the
threatening sky and noticed the
thunder and lightning getting
sharper every minute I put the
kettle on and made the tea ahead
et time—better tea on the cool
side, I thought, than no tea at
all. But, of course, as 1 had pre-
pared for an emergency the
power didn't go oft'. That wae
just a stroke of luck—neigh-
bours below us had no power
at all and it was off down town,
including some a: the telephones.
But at least we didn't have it
as bad as folks down in the
London -Stratford area — poor
dears.
Well, among those who came
yesterday were our two boys—
our grandsons, I mean. Dave is
getting to be more of a little boy
all the time—and as mischie-
vous. And the baby—well I sup-
pose I am slightly partial—but
2 thought he -was just about per-
fect. Well developed and taleing
notice of everything around
him. Partner wanted to know
if there was anything wrong
with him because he was so
good. But we assured him that
when he was down at the barn
Edwarcl let us know he had a
good healthy pair of lungs any-
way. Dave is very proud of him
and talks every now arid then
about "my brudder." He likes
to help Mummy do things for
him—runs after nappies and
powder, helps put the carriage
on the verandah and raises an
alarm if the baby Better
still, Daughter IS a different
person, even from what she was
eighteen months ago. Last week
she not only looked after her
own two boys but took charge
of a neighbour's little two-year-
old girl as well—and put down
a whole crate of berries in be-
tween baby chores.
Well, it doesn't look as if
there will be much haying done
around here for a few days.
With a heavy rain yesterday and
humidity a hundred percent this
• morning it can hardly he called
good haying weather, And there
are such a lot of bales out
through the country. It doesn't
make much difference to us as
Partner has sold his standing
hay to a neighbour—but he has-
n't come in to out it. yet, because
of the weather, I suppose. It
will be the first time since we
started farming that we haven't
had to worry about haying. And
what a relief it is going to be.
Of course there is something
very appealing about new -mown
hay—you really feel you are
farming when the pungent smell
of clover tllls the air. Right now
we are content to borrow tNe
• aromatic odours arum our neigh-
.
bour's fields! Haying is a dan-
gerous and worrisome time.
When the mower is out in the
field you just feel you have to
be constantly on the alert in case
a dog, a cat or a child should
come within reach of those mur-
derous knives. When you are
young you manage to take ev-
erything in your stride — the
work, the risks and the weather.
But es the years go by the dan-
ger seems more imminent; the
work harder and the weather
more than ever "agin" you, That
is when the older folk are glad
if a son or sons, are able and
willing to carry on. As I look
back 1 think sometimes I used
to be looking for trouble because
I know I was often almost petri-
fied with fear when I used to
drive the horses on the hayfork.
1 was always expecting the rope
would snap in two and maybe
let the load down on Partner or
Bob as they worked in the mow.
Then when we started taking
hay off in bales there was al-
ways the chance that Partner,
not being too steady on his legs,
might take a header from the
top of the load. Farming is cer-
tainly a hazardous occupation at
any time, with either the new or
the old way of operating. Me-
chanization'eases the work but
I would say it definitely in-
creases the danger.
And yet how nice 20 20 to meet
young folk with initiative and
vision. One couple who were
here yesterday — fortyish, I
would say — got tired of city
lite; bought a piece of land
north of Toronto about five years
ago. Put up a small barn and
a six -roomed bungalow, both of
which they built themselves.
Then they went into the chicken
business. Now they have things
fixed up in such a way that the
poultry operate on the cafeteria
system and both the man and
his wife hold office jobs in the
city and commute back and
forth, They raise broilers, ca-
pons and laying hens. Whether
they make money or not I don't
know but at least they are pay-
ing their way and have an inter-
esting sideline to fall back on if
their city jobs should peter out.
At least they have solved the
problem of what to do with their
spare time during this period of
automation,
That's all for now—I've got
strawberries to put down. As for
cherries, judging by our own,
there will hardly be enough to
feed the robins, But I have quite
a bit of fruit left over from last
year so I didn't intend to do as
much as usual anyway,
Gave Up Smoking
To Smell Roses
Biting, scratching, screaming
and sweening, 2 h e women
fought to get in. Not to see a
famous film star, not to attend
a department store sale. . . •
They just wanted to see - a
ROSE.
12was the first public show-
ing at Valenciennes, in North
France, of "Prelude," the rose
with a difference. And it drew a
retard attendance of nearly 4,-
000,000 rose -lovers within four
"Prelude" is a beautiful vio-
let blue rose. It has 0 bluish -
lilac bud, gracefully unrolling
its twenty-five petals to a con-
stant violet, 'touched with co-
balt when fully open.. Set in a
owl, it is breathtakingly beau-
tiful artificial light.
It is the first milestone on the
road to a true blue rose, the
perfection of which has been
haunting the dreams of hy-
bridists for the past 150 years.
It is the crowning achievement
*in the already long career of
Francis Meilland, the hybridiz-
ii,nrggeeez.ilus from Cap d'Antibes,
ian
Meilland Inc devoted a life-
time to creating ever sturdier,
finer, mare pest -free roses.
These immensely -popular crea-
tions of his — Peace, Happi-
ness, Sun King, Miami, Eden
Rose, and now Prelude, and no
fewer than eighty-four other
novelties — are giving the
thrills of beauty and discovery
to millions the world over.
A man of a single idea, this
one-time ehainsmoker has given
up tobacco altogether because,
in the long run, it weakens the
smelling sense which must re-
main keen in a rose grower.
His installations at C a p
d'Antibes are the most up-to-
date in the world. From the
top of that airy, sun -drenched
500 -foot hill, you have a grand
bird's-eye view of eleven acres
under glass and 15,000 square
feet et gleamingwhite build-
ings, sloping gently in succes-
sive tiers to the blue Mediter-
ranean.
Meilland's earliest recollec-
tions go back to that cold De-
cember morning of 1916 when
he was shoving in the rear a
hand -cart heavily laden with
vegetables which his mother
was courageously pulling all of
three miles from his native Tes-
sin to the market of Montplai-
sir, in Middle France.
Small was the help of that
four-year-old lad, but so great
his conviction that he stepped
right into the boots of Antoine
Meilland, his father, then one of
those anonymous French sol-
diers blocking the German on-
slaught.
Madame Meilland considered
then the tasks of running sin-
gle-handed the family and de-
veloping novel rose seedlings all
in the day's work — 50 eigh-
teen -hour working day, seven
days a week, fifty-two weeks a
year for the duration.
It took dogged perserverance,
outstanding abilities, a daring
spirit and hard toil to get that
poor country boy to dazzling
success and international recog-
nition.
To -day, his trends are the
Windsors, ex -King Umberto of
Italy, the Queen Mother of
Greece, the Aga Khan and Ali
-- and almost anybody who is
a somebody.
When they ran France, ex -
premiers Antoine Pinay and
George Bidault took time off to
journey 600 miles from Paris to
admire his novelties.
The beauty of Meilland's rose
named Record literally stunned
Georges Bidault. Drawing back
a step or two to admire from a

distance the profusion of rube

banged his head against a per.
gola pillar — and went down

' Pests, viruses, weather and

and also war,
Following a trip to the
United States, where he studied
market openings and cultiva-
tion methods„ Meilland return-
ed to Ms farm and set out te
perfect the task of breeding a
hardier growth and sturdier
type of rose.
"October 10th, 1935, will
stand forever as the highlight
in my whole life," he confides.
"As I was inspecting our nur-
series that morning, my heart
skipped a beat or two when the
loveliness at one of my experi-
mental blooms sprang before
my dazzled vision."
• He called out to his family
and they could never weary
drinking in the beauty of these
very first Peace roses resplend-
ent in their glory of yellow,
green, ivory and pale gold,
tinged with a suffusion of car-
mine.
The vivid colours, hugeness
and truly regal bearing of these
blooms convinced them at once
that they had created the very
queen of roses.
