WO OTHER FIANCEES
ORRY LIKE THIS?
"Dear Anne Hirst: I want you
to tell me whether other engaged
girls get frightened as their
wedding day draws near? I am
to be, married on Thanksgiving
Day, and although 1 can't put
my finger on any single thing to
worry about, I do.
"My fiance is 28, I'm 21. We
attend the same church, we
share a love of music and books
and sports; and he is the most
thoughtful person I've ever
known. I can't find a single bad
trait in him; he makes a good
living and is very saving of his
money, although generous to me.
And I know he would never let
ane down.
"Yet I have hours of wonder-
ing whether I should marry him.
I live a well-rounded life, be-
long to two organizations, am a
college graduate and have al-
ways had plenty of confidence
in myself. This feeling is utterly
foreign •to my nature.
"My fiance only went through
high school, and is shy around
those he thinks are more intelli-
gent. Yet when I compare his
parents (who live just for each
ether and are so happy) with
some professional people I know,
I would choose their marriage
as a model. I want to be a good

wife, have a family, and Beep
my man content. But I see some
of my married friends so quar-
relsome with each other that it
scares me.
"Once we stopped seeing each
other because I felt unsure of
myself. I was really sick over
it, felt 1 had thrown away the
most beautiful gift I have ever
had. I asked him to come back
. But now that my wedding
date is set I feel shaky. My par-
ents laugh, and tell me not to
worry. Am I normal, Anne
Hirst? STILL WORRYING"
* Most of the married people
you know would probably
"' confess (in a confidential
* mood) that they were at-
m tacked by the same unnamed
* fears that worry you. Most
* thoughtful girls wonder whe-
* ther marriage is right for
* them; they see couples who
* get on each other's nerves and
* make their life a series of un-,
* pleasant scenes. And they be-
* gin to wonder whether those
* who appear happy are really
* so. It makes a girl tremble.
* From all you tell me (and
* I wish I could have printed
* your letter in full) you and
* your fiance seem to have no
* need to concern yourselves.
* You will help him to overcome
° his shyness; he will stand like
* a shield between you and any
* trouble that may come. You
* share the sameideals of mar-
* riage; you enjoy the same
* things, laugh at the same
* stories. He will respect your
* higher education and you will
* never allow him to feel infer-
* ior. I picture you both prac-
* tieing tolerance in any differ-
* ence, being patient if misun-
* derstandings arise, and living
* serenely together with abso-
* lute faith in one another.
* Your thoughts are natural,
* yes. But you are intelligent
* and you love deeply, two pro-
* tections against any real un-
* happiness. Keep in mind • your
* parents' satisfying marriage,
* the sweet companionship that
* your fiance's mother and fa-
* ther find in theirs. There is a
* 100 -to -1 chance that yours will
* be like that.

DATE HER AGAIN?
"Dear Anne .Hirst: Last spring
I stopped seeing a girl I liked a
lot. I asked her to go steady and
she refused, . so I' just didn't go
back.
"A girl frad tf.heros
she'd 7i'ke 1 da`tein'e ga
after the rotten way she treated
me, do you think I should? I
know I _was possessive, and
maybe jealous, but shall I take
her back after all this? JIM"
* I don't agree at all that this
* girl was unfair'. She wanted to
* go out with other boys too,
* and was frank enough to say
* so. Your pride got a jolt, and.
* you deft.
* Most girls like to date sev-
* eral boys at once, for how
* else can they learn about boys
* in general and discriminate
* among them? You would have
* been smart to agree, accepted
* competition and taken your
* chance with her other friends.
* Instead you behaved like a
* spoiled child, you would have
* all or nothing.
* If you really like the girl
* you will jump at the chance
* to be friends again—and this
* time be a little humble. That
* will show you are more ma-
* ture now, and can appreciate
* a girl honest enough to tell
* you the truth

JUST MEMORIES NOW—Famed as the "Sea Devil" during World
War 1, Germany's Count Felix von Luckner is faking things
easier in his declining years. Shown with his wife in front of
'their trailer near Stuttgart, the veteran of many a sea battle,
slow 77 years old, was attending am national camping rally.

Wouldn't you know it ... Ex-
hibition time and teaming rain
the second day. The trouble is.
we needed that rain so badlyl1,,
but why couldn't it have come
two days earlier, then everyone
would have been happy. Or
would they?
Partner and I went to the
C.N.E. on Friday — the first
time we had ever gone on "War-
rior's Day". It was raining a lit-
tlei when we boarded the bus
but the "Probs" called for
"clearing by noon." so we took
a chance. We got a splendid
seat on the grandstand — after
we had had lunch and taken a
quick look at the new Queen
Elizabeth Building. Kate Ait-
ken's dream has finally come
true. For years Mrs. A: tried to :.
talk C.NE. officials into making '.
plans for the construction ,of
such a badly needed buil
And for,, ari , ' 1ual',

Thank goodness the heavy rain
dept off for the duration of the
arade although the bands were
s 4spersed a little ahead of time
prevent damage to their in-
ruments from the drizzle.
After we left the grandstand
r problems began. Raining

i; At long last we got Art on
the phone. Then we wended our
weary way over to the Dufferin
street cars, my shoes squelching
as I walked. We elbowed our
, way on to a street -car and at
the end of c;xr trip Art was
waiting with his car. At Dee's
place we got more or less dried
out, enjoyed a hot chicken din-
ner, and then the whole family
brought us home. We enjoyed
the Parade; we think Warrior's
Day is something one should go
to at least once ina lifetime, but
more than anything we appre-
ciated having someone to fall
back on, someone to bring us
home — and at the end of the
day a warm, dry, comfortable
home to dome back to. That was
one day at the C.N E and
there may be another. A fine
one, we hope!

new Women's Division ie. -nee ea
complished fact I wonder if any •i
of the credit will go to Mrs. A.
who 'was the first to point the
way.
The Military Parade, began
marching past the reviewing
stand soon after two o'clodk and
continued for almost two •hours.
Other years we have read about
it, heard about it and seen
snatches of it on T.V., but that
was very different from seeing
the actual performance. There
were bands, bands, and still
more bands. Each band follow-
ed by officiers and men of vari-
ous regiments, mostly veterans '
of past wars, even as far back as
the Boer War. Many of them
stiff in the joints, some with
a limp but all of them valiantly
trying to keep step to the mar-
tial music. Watching from a cen-
tral spot on the Parade ground
were about 25 wheel -chair vet-
erans
from :Sunnybrook Hospi-
tal,
'.
each under the care of a
military nurse, while Red Cross '
nurses kept the men supplied
with what appeared to be a
packaged lunch. As might be ex-
pected the men were obviously
entering into the spirit of the
occasion, living up to the old
army slogan that `Old soldiers
never die."
On the grandstand there were
many more old soldiers, some
with their children and grand-
children. Some were younger,
veterans of World War II. and
the Korean War. There were
also war widows.. One old age
pensoner sitting next to me said
she came to the C.N.B. every
year on Warrior's Day although
her husband, a first war veteran, I
had been dead 26 years. She i
now lives alone in an apartment
block for Senior Citizens at
Rexdale and is very well satis-
fied with the care and accom-
modation she receives. Behind
us a little girl was excitedly
picking out Grandpa from
among the wheel -chair visitors
In front of us, and a little to the
left, sat a thin -faced man, lean-
ing on his stick and wearing a
Service button in his lapel. He
' spoke very little but his eyes
:followed every movement of the
parade. Who knows what were
his memories. Certainly his at-
tention was more than casual.
Was he one of those who return-
ed from Vilely Ridge? Was he
gassed, shot down or wounded
the field of battle? Or were
his memories chiefly concerned
With his buddies who didn't
come back? Without asking there
was no way of knowing. But of
one thing we can always be caro
Light Fingered
Lady!.
Obviously she was a lady,
poised and patrician. She lived
with a girl she introduced as
her niece, a fetching and bright
young blonde. At one time or
another she had five new cars,
including a pink Lincoln. She
had two avocations: She work-
ed, though she really didn't
need to, and she raised cocker , •
spaniels. ((She owned 50 cock-
ers, including Rise and Shine,
the 1954 "Best in Show" dog at
the nation's snazziest dog show,
the Westminster Kennel Club's.)
She called herself Mrs. Janet
It. Gray.
Mrs. Gray was office manager
for a group of doctors who
operate a private clinic. One
day, one of the doctors decided
that he was short in his office
checking account. -
When investigators went look-
for Mrs. Gray, she had fled. She
had left tow; said witnesses,
leading a spectacular four-
vehicle caravan in the pink Lin-
coln, and with her went most
of her furnishings (in two fur-
niture vans), all the cockers,.,
and her niece driving another
car.
It wasn't hard to trace this
caravan as Mrs. Gray moved
across' the South, but she be-
gan to drop off her more con-
spicuous items — like the vans
— as she went and finally, in
Oklahoma, she vanished.
By then, investigators learned
she had taken $100,000 from the
doctors, and the FBI was called
in. If Mrs. Gray had seemed
to have an extravagant life in
Atlanta, the true story of her
life, as the FBI disclosed it, was
extravagant beyond the imag-
ination of most mortals.
TRAGIC FOOTNOTE — Though
little Ralph Jacobs, 31/2, doesn't
know it, the elephant foot in
which he's standing was chief
instrument in a .gruesome
tragedy. With it, "Basco," for-
mer star performer with the
Krone Circus, trampled his two
trainers„ to death. The foot Is
*n display in Berlin, Germany.
She was born in Tientsin,
China, in 1906, the daughter of
British parents, and her real
name was Margaret McGlashan.
By 1935, she was in -the Pana-
ma Canal Zone, working for a
Chinese rug company. There she
met and married a man named
Jasper W. Burton, and ,had a
daughter by him. This daugh-
ter — Sheila. Joy Burton — was
her "niece."
Mrs. McGlashan-Burton-Gray
(she accumulated. 22 known
aliases) first came to the atten-
tion of authorities as one of the
world's great swindlers in
Honolulu in 1939. Shehad been
transferred there by her com-
pany and she achieved a tri-
umph that most crime experts
said • was impossible: She suc-
ceeded in defrauding a Chinese
rug merchant.
Mrs. Burton had taken the
lrecaution " of leaving Honolulu
exactly eleyen days before the
indictment was handed down.
The FBI record from 'then on
speaks for itself:
Mrs. Burton was arrested by
Los Angeles police in July 1939
for the Honolulu rap, but extra-
dition was denied.
In February 1950, a ' warrant
was issued for her arrest in Las
Angeles on six counts of theft,
but she, had disappeared.
Vancouver police charged her
with the theft of $5,000 in May
of 1950, but by the time the
charge was made she had again
moved on.
In 1953, she moved out of San
Antonio, Texas, hours ahead Of
a Federal warrant for the inter-
stete tranportation of stolen
property.
The FBI next picked up her
trail in Norfolk, Va.
"At the time of her sudden de-
parture in November 1954," said
the official FBI report, "a war-
rant was filed by the doctor who
was her, employer charging her
with the larceny of $2,000 in
connection with cash she had
not deposited to the doctor'a
bank account."
Last month the FBI arrested
Mrs. Burton and daughter in
Tulsa — where Mrs. Burton was
back in her old stand working
in a doctor's office. The recep-
tionist `"recognized her from a
newspaper picture. Both moth-
er and daughter were held in
bonds totaling $40,000. — From
