They have been mar- iried 45 years, and she is dignity Iiersonified, fine-looking, gra- cious, a valued church member and loved by us all. Her hus- band is retired, and though cle- arer and as honest as they come, he is `growing childish' as she. aa11s it. He makes a daily spec- tacle of himself in our town. He neglects her outrageously; he just prances around town ogling the young girls and causing snickers and smart cracks that annoy all his old friends. "The irony of it is that I really think he believes the girls enjoy his smirking; of course, they smile back at him, but I don't know what will be- come of his blood pressure. "This dear friend understands her husband, and knows that be- neath all this nonsense he loves her devotedly. But she is self- conscious and eager to shield him from criticism; yet she' doesn't know how to cope with this. Can you offer any sugges- tions that might stop him from making such a fool of himself?

Excite& 4' by the attention he arouses, * he feels his aging arteries re- * lax, and strides back to his * wife with a new glint in his * eye, satisfied that he has * proved his point. * While she, poor soul, smiles * back at him and wishes to * heaven he'd stay home where * he belongs. She will not hurt * him for the world, so she lis- * tens to his superlative reports * and prays for patience. * She will not have to pray * long.

Then we had a quarrel. I `started seeing someone else, but it didn't work, I found I still loved the first boy ... We tried to reconcile, though he had been dating another girl. Now we see each other occasionally and he swears he loves me—but he still dates her. "I've come to the point where I just can't see anybody else. My heart goes after him, so I cannot enjoy being with an- other boy. Am I wasting my time in useless hope? Or do you think he will come back? OLIVE" * How can I predict what this • boy will do? If he loves you * as he recently claimed, he * would not have time for any- * one else. So long as he does, * you had better realize he is * not serious about you. * Start seeing other young men you like. You won't en- * joy it at first, but you'll be * amazed how soon their atten- * tions will cheer you up. In- * stead of sitting alone wishing * for the one you care for, you'll * find yourself looking forward * to tomorrow's date. This * should move your sweetheart * one way or another: if he does * care deeply, he will give up * the other girl; if he still sees * her, you will know you are * wasting your time even re- * membering him. * So don't sit at home feeling * sorry for yourself. Get out * and 'nix with girl and• boy * friends, and you will find life * far brighter than it seems 'to- * day. * * Anne Itirst is your unseen friend, standing by to guide you through life's perplex- ing problems. You can be sure of her wisdom and her sympathy, and she never be- trays a confidence. Address her at Box 1, 123 Eighteenth St., New Toronto, Ont.

We :have our name on the mail -box and a name plate on our front lawn. Not only that but a representa- tive of the "Welcome Wagon" came calling yesterday. Ever heard of the Welcome Wagon? I had only a dim idea of what it meant but' now that I know more about it I think it is a `.• wonderful set-up. Not because of what is given away but because, it gives newcomers 'a feelings . recognition. Farm folk may not `: Jiffy -Cut, Sew!

ISSUE 24 —. 190 Other merchants were satisfied to send a card asking you to .call and receive a gift. At first sight that did not appeal to us too well. As I said to our lady -caller no one feels like walking into a store, presenting a card and asking for the promised gift. She agreed but, explained that trades -people are especially anx- ious that newcomers at least pre- sent -their cards as that is the only way the sponsors have of knowing whether their offer of service is reaching the people. It is, of course, a form of ad- vertising and like any other ad- vertising it costs money, so na- turrally the trades -people want to know whether it is worth- while — whether it really helps them to make contact with new residents. The Welcome Wagon also sends along informative literature . . a circular letter. of welcome from . the Reeve; folders from the Motor Vehicles Branch of the Department if Highways — and from Automo- • bile Insurance companies; also from the Canadian Cancer Society stating what local assiss- ance is available. A mrd from the Funeral home and Ambu- lance service and one from the nearest circulating library. ' The official hostess who called upon us was a friendly, helpful, easy -to -know sort of person. I am afraid if she stayed every- where as long as she stayed here she wouldn't get in many calls during the day. But we seemed to have so much in common. And then, of course, Partner came along with a number of ques- tions. Altogether our visitor was very helpful and left us with the impression that the Welcome Wagon was an excellent innova- tion that trades -people should not hesitate to sponsor. And if it f seems helpful to us what would it mean to newcomers from an other country? In our case we know this lo- cality pretty well -- that is why we settled here. We like the feeling of still being in the country and yet within easy dis- tance of transportation to and from Toronto. But of course this is our first experience with the business section and as we more or less intend to "shop at home" we are very glad to know when and where goods and services are available. We still 'like our little village store and have no intention of making weekly trips to a recently opened shopping .• plaza, which I belieye is the nearest big shopping centre tG this district. We are still finding plenty to do around here. Someone asked ,.. us if we were a retired couple. Well, that was our intention — but sometimes I wonder! One day last week Partnerwent up to the farm with Johnny and brought back some hardwood planks that he had been saving for future use. I don't know what he intends doing with them but certainly good dry hard- wood is worth keeping on hand. Another day I went down to Oakville and visited with Joy and our grandson. Ross was on his best behaviour. Joy had some shopping to do so she wrapped Ross up in his blanket and laid him in the bottom of the shop- ping cart. Another shopper look- ed at him and exclaimed—"Well, now I've seen everything. A shopping cart.as a baby -buggy!" Ross thought it was just all right. Through the wire walls he could see in every direction. Another shopper stopped and asked if I had bought the baby. "Yes," I answered, "he was a week -end special!"
