He 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 frim, 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 him. Can you tell me what to do? Ashamed."

Though you know his influence is evil, you have enjoyed yielding to it, Un- less you take strong measures, you are headed for a scandal that will drag your good hus- band with you. Already the man's wife is talk- ing --and why not? How long do you think it will be before the truth is publicly known? As or you, you know of the man's other affairs, and where those women landed. Do you want to join them in the dis- card? I am sorry for you. You have had the courage to stick to an unsatisfactory marriage for years, but now you have sunk deep in the depths of self-de- ception. No wonder you have no peace! Why can't you see the facts as they are? I urge you to rise above this temptation.

I heard he went out and got drunk, "1 have been sick over the whole business. I 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. He 'never did drink that I know of, 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 argument, you * admit. It is. his getting, intoxi- * cated that you will not over- * look. * Under such : stress, taking x one drink too many seems, I * am sorry to say, a popular way * to induce forgetfulness and * bring , momentary - .semfort to, * an . emotionally upset young * man. You should. have over- * looked the incident and ac- * cepted his plea. After all, 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 over * and straighten out the whole * matter * * We are never tempted beyond our strength to resist—IF we honestly want to resist. Self- respect, courage, and prayer combine to build an armor against evil ... Anne (first un- derstands the weaknesses of hu- mans, and will rally to your aid.

The thought bothered me as I couldn't shake it off, Then ae I set the table l laughed at my own tears , what was I afraid of —Bob and Joy had been up the night before: Dee had phoned that everythng was all right there - and the weather was good, so what tied I to worry about?

Kath- leen had taken a chill waiting too long for a street -car the night before, Not only that but Arthur was having car trouble so they might be a little late in 'Offing here.' But I am glad to say, even though the motor boiled, they ar- rived safe and sound. And how they arrived! Bob and .iblenny went Out •to helpdMthent unload. There was David and •his baby carriage; shawls, .blankets, pres- ents, baby eqi ipmeht and two ha.tf-grown . kittens iq . a crate!

With the passing of time Dee and Bob were born, and thus our children made us a family of four. Those same children grew up and married and in- creased our family, six. Then came David -rand now ' we are seven. And the same thing is happening all. over Canada, as each family 'tree, in; most cases,, grows and grows.

However, in our case, a few uiischedtiled events took place, the chief of which happened about 5 a.m, the day after Christmas. Partner and I have a bedroom downstairs. Dee and Art and the baby were immediately above us and we were all still sleeping. Suddenly 'there was. a terrific crash. I waited breath.le`ssly.

This bed had wooden slats, on top of • which, to give it modern comfort, we• had placed a steel spring . and a coil -spring mattress. Thus it had given us good service for a num- ber of years. But alas, the bed had evidently reached the limit of endurance. All the nails on one side of the slats gave way. The .lats dropped to the floor — as did the spring, the mattress, and its occupants. As 1 said to Daughter afterwards, it was a mercy it happened after the baby was born and not before. The .second minor accident was this morning. At night we always leave 'a 7 -watt bulb burning and it gives enough light for anyone to find their way around the house in safety. But light bulbs don't last forever either. This morning it was burnt out and Partner walked straight into the sharp edgeiof an open door, He now has a bruise and slight cut over one eye, giving him the ap- pearance of having celebrated not wisely but too well. Now everything is quiet. Dee and family went, home yesterday. In addition to all the bulky stuff `they brought with them they had equally bulky presents to take back .. . table, bottle . sterilizer, blanket and '-1/2. a dozen jars of fruit.

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 cult 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" repre- sents no sudden fanaticism. For eight years, since graduating in engineering science at. Copenhag- en University in 1945, he has been working steadily towards 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 sublimities." 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 Fijis, They -lived on coco- nuts, fruits and vegetables. The prospect of voluntary ex- ile proved too daunting for Kauff- r- ''t's friend. He 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. eminent at Tonga needed a con- sulting engineer, He took the lob for ten months; then turned in his sloop—Queen Salote's own house- hold use it today as 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 Hunga, 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. Palm trees grow plentifully. But because they are commercial- ly valuable and might attract future • prospectors, Kauffrnann 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 on cocoanut milk or by collecting rainwater as it trickles through cavern 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 him. 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 .heade 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." In 1962, Hunga's submerged volcano—it lies about a mile off- shore—is due to erupt afresh. He looks forward to experiencing at first hand al] the primitive gran- deur of fire and fury belching 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 many eccentrics who, turning tlieir backs on civilization, have found merely ,•fresh dregs of re- morse.
