"Dear Anne Hirst: I am al-
most too ashamed to explain our
problem, but I need some sound
advice. Our daughter, 19, is
cheating on her fiance during
his absence from home, Her
father and I are frantic. and he
threatens to tell her to leave...
The two got engaged at Christ-
mas, and she is wearing his ring.
A wonderful offer came from the
West Coast that nearly doubled
his income; knowing it meant
they could marry this year, he
jumped at it.
"By March she had started to
date another boy almost every
night! She hardly knows him,
hut he has her under his thumb;
she has changed so much we
hardly known her, and she open-
ly defies us. Her fiance senses
something is wrong and called
her up to ask if she was going
with anyone else. She wouldn't
say yes or no , We both are
iso fond of the fiance and had
thought her future all set. Now
we almost feel she doesn't de-
serve him. Also, he sends her
monthly cheeks for her savings
account against their future.
"She does read yourcolumn
regularly, and we will be so
grateful for any advice. Perhaps
Someone else can convince her
how dishonorable she is. We
have failed miserably.

Well, we hear on the radio
that harvest operations in On-
tario are pretty well over! We
wonder where. In this district
mast of the wheat has certain-
1'- been threshed ar combined
but spring crops are still stand-
ing and I expect most of the
farmers with spring crop are
prayint that no big storm comes
along and knocks them flat be-
fore they are ready for the
binder. In fact we know of some
farms where the crops have al-
ready suffered that fate. We
get such freakish storms these
days. Saturday we had just a
sprinkle of rain. Later when
Bob came up from Oakville he
reported the heaviest rain-
storm of the summer with a ter-
rific electrical storm. At the
construction plant lightning ran
along steel pipes, jumped from
one machine to another, gave
all the employees a snare and
yet no damage was reported
anywhere.
Today the weather is delight-
fully cool. In fact there is a
feeling of fall in the air. The
wind has a mournful sighing
sound; bluejays are sounding
forth with loud. unmusical
notes, and last night there was
a gorgeous sunset, unusual for
summer evenings. I Suppose we
might learn more about what
the weather has in store for us
Modern.
Etiquette...
Q. What is the rule on the
introduction of young and ofd
persons?
A. The younger person is al-
ways introduced to the older or
more distinguished, but a gen-
telman is always presented to
a lady, even though he is an old
genleman and the lady is a
mere slip of a girl. Of course,
a woman is presented to the
President of the United States,
a royel personage, or a digni-
tary of the church.
Q, How sloes an unmarried
business woman identify herself
over the telephone?
A, "This is Miss Johnson (or,
Miss Ruth Johnsen), of such -
and - such company."
Q. Is it correct to wear ear-
rings at any time, or should
they be reserved only for cer-
tain occasions?
A. Small earnings can be
worn anywhere and at any
time. But the diamond type and
long, dangling ones are best
worn only with evening or
dressy party frocks,
Q. Is there any way that one
can possibly rinse one's fingers
at the table if no finger bowl
has been provided,?
A. It is permissible to tip the
waterglass against the corner of
the napkin, and then wipe the
fingers on this damp corner.
Q. is there any special mark-
ing customary on a cake to be
served at an engagement party?
A. A traditionally favorite
decoration is the first names of
if we had a greater knowledge
concerning plants and trees. For
instance we have a hickory tree
down by the creek that is load-
ed with nuts this year. We won-
der why because we haven't had
hickory nuts around here for
years and years. There are also
quite a lot of wild grapes on
vines where I have never seen
grapes before. There are plenty
of choke -cherries too. Last
year there there wasn't one to
be seen anywhere. Why? No
doubt native Indians could tell

SHE MEANS IT — Close friends
of actress Cleo Moore, above,
insist she's dead serious about
her plans to run for governor
of Louisiana in 1960. "And why
not?" asks Cleo. "All good
politicians are good actors, so
what's so funny about an ac-
tress being a politician?"
the bride -elect and her fiance
enclosed in a heart,
Q. On which side of the plate
should the napkin be placed,
and haw should it be folded —
tvith the open edge toward or
away from the plate?
A. Ot) the left of the plate
with open edge toward the
plate„ unless it is folded and
there is no edge.
Q. Would it be proper to have
two maids of honor, both of
them 'dressed in white?
A. This is all right, if you
wish, although usually only the
bride is -dressed in white. In
some summerweddings, an all -
white wedding is very effective.
Of course, the bridesmaids
never wear veils of any kind.
Q. I have been told that one
w'ho visits a sick nin a
hospital should alwaysfried bring
some kind of gift. Is this cor-
rect?
A. This is not obligatory. You
may do as you wish. • Q. What is the correct way to
eat a banana at the table?
A. It should be peeled into a
plate, and then eaten with the
fork.
Q, Is it customary to tip ush-
ers i!tt a theater?
A. Nal in this country, It is a
European custom,
