Dear Anne Hirt: I have been
mauled for 11 years, and now I
am the most unhappy woman 1
know. My husband is a grand
person and is good to zee, but our
married life has been a series of
ups and downs. I determined to •
see it through, and I have—up till
now,
"My trouble is another man, of
course. Ile is married and has
two children, yet he says he never
loved anyone as he loves me. I
have tried to stop seeing him, but
he makes me. I've been horrid
to him, I've told him I was
through, but he will not let me
go.,
"I am almost dying with shame
to deceive my husband as I am
doing. I never thought I could
sink so low!
"The man is crazy about his
children (I have none) and he
tells his wife he still cares for
her. But she thinks I'm trying
to get hint. Can you tell me what
to do?
Ashamed."

"Dear Anne Hirst; My fiance
and I had a quarrel over noth-
ing a week ago; he said unkind
things, and I broke the engage-
ment. I heard he went out. and
got drunk.
•'I have been sick over the
whole business. 1 realized I was
as much to blame as he; I am
overly • sensitive, and lost my
head. I would have written an
apology if he hadn't taken too
many drinks after he left. Ile
never did drink that I know et,
- and this I cannot forgive.
"He called me two days after,
and apologized for being rude,
but I Would not listen, Don't you
think I was right? Drinking is
something I cannot overlook.
MISERABLE"
'' You do not say how old you
are, but you must be very
* young to refuse this man your
* forgiveness. You were equally
to blame in the ailment, you
* admit. It is his getting inloxi-
* cated that you will not over-
* look.
* Under such stress, taking
'• one drink too many seems, I
am sorry to say, a popular way
* to induce forgetfulness and
* bring momentary comfort to
* an emotionally upset young
" man. You should have over-
" looked the incident and ac-
cepted his plea: After ail, he
* is not a drinking man.
`° Better sit down and write
* him an apology for ending the
* engagement, and say that you
" understand his reaction to the
* shock. When he reappears,
* you two can talk things aver
* and straighten out the whale
* matter
We are neves' tempted beyond
our strength to resist—IF we •
honestly want to resist. Self-
respect, courage, and prayer
combine to build an armor•
g ain '
against evil ..Anne Hirst urn-
derstands the weaknesses of hu-
mans, and will rally to your aid.

oa ern "Robinson Crusoe" Claims
Our Civilization 1s Doomed
A .modern Rubinson Crusoe,
who seeks a Stone Age eure front
the world's worries, is 33 -year-old
Danish civil engineer, "Taxi"
Kauffmann. Hard working and
intelligent, he bids to renounce
civilization and spend the rest Of
his life cut off from all human
contact on a lonely Pacific islet.
There, 13,000 miles from Cop-
enhagen's twinkling lights and
cigar -smoking girls, he intends to
live after the style of his Stone
Age ancestors. He will not set up
stone quit circles to worship the
sun, or indulge in sacrificial rites,
but cling to his own peculiar in-
terpretation of Christianity.
His name "Tavi" is the Poly-
nesian substitute for his baptis-
mal name; his adoption of it sym-
bolizes his renunciation of his
European upbringing. It means
blood brother of Maui—the leg
endary fisher up of islands from
the Pacific's coral -haunted deeps
The young Dane's conversion to
Stone Age "simplicities" repro.
sents no sudden fanaticism. For
eight years, since graduating in
engineering science at Copenhag-
en University in 1945, he has been
working steadily totvards his goal,
First, he saved up sufficient
to emigrate to the U.S.A. In San
Francisco, he savoured modern
civilization's "delights"—its speed
craziness, cinematic artificiali-
ties and press -button comforts—
but found all such diversions
devilish.
"The atomic age is bankrupt,"
he announced. "I tremble for its
future, Civilized society will be
man's ruin, unless he escapes
from it and rediscovers, before it
is too late, his true -destined affin-
ity with Nature, her works and
God -inspired sublirnities."
He bought a 26 -foot sloop and
set sail, with an American friend,
to discover a perfect island re-
treat. The two sailed first via the
Marquesas to Tahiti, then to the
Cook Islands, the Tongan Group •
and Fills, They lived on coco-
nuts, fruits and vegetables.
The prospect of voluntary ex•
ile proved too daunting for Kauff-
r• •r's friend, :Fie quit. Undeter-
red, the Dane decided to pursue
his experiment lone -handed.
Wisely, he set about adapting
himself to Pacific Island life be-
fore stepping back 2,000 years.
reached the car. Looking at the
loaded vehicle I made one earn-
est request — "Phone us when
you reach home -- we would like
to know if you arrive safely."
The call came through about
three hours later,
At Suva, the Fijian capital, he
heard that Queen Salote's Gov-
ernment at Tonga needed a con-
sulting engineer. Be took the lob
for ten months; then turned in hie
sloop—Queen Salote's own house-
hold use it today ae their royal
barge --and asked that, as reward
for his services, he should be
allowed to live rent-free and un-
molested on one of Tonga's unoc-
cupied 150 islets.
The very place for him was
found at Runge, an uninhabited
volcanic islet, about a mile long
and a third of a mile wide, some
forty miles from Nukualofa, the
Tongan capital.
No Tongan ever visits it, be-
lieving it haunted by dead and
uncharitable spirits --an island of
sulky skulls. And there, as an
enthusiastic recluse, this Danish
engineer Crusoe went a few
weeks ago into lifelong exile, He
prepared his new homeland a
little in advance, however, per-
suading a Tongan agriculturist to
help him plant breadfruit trees
on the Islet:,
Palin trees grow plentifully.
But because they ape commercial-
ly valuable and might attract
future prospectors, Kauffmann
intends to cut them down and
leave sufficient only to keep him
in cocoanuts, His Eden lacks any
fresh water springs, so he must
slake his thirst either en cocoanut
milk or by collecting' rainwater
as It trickles through cavort)
roofs. In these caves, too, he can
shelter when hurricanes lash and
roar against his retreat.
Doesn't Want a Wife
He has taken thirty books with
hint. They include the Bible and
Spengler's "Decline of the West"
Asked if he wanted a wife, the
young bearded Dane, a towering
specimen of blue-eyed Nordic
manhood, shook his head vigor-
ously; exclaiming: "Like any
seeker after pure truth., 1 seek
first inward peace, not the dis-
tractions or allurements which
the battle of the sexes gives to
modern society,"

looks forward to experiencing at

from its hissing, wave -lapped
cone, By that time he will either
have discovered bliss as a hermit
or will have tasted the disillu-
sionment that has overtaken so

their backs on civilization, have
found merely fresh dregs of re•
