He comes over every week, he spends week ends here when he can, and he's always bringing lovely gifts— but he's never said he loves met "He asked me to go only with him, and if I date anybody else he throws a scene and claims he can't trust me. He hurts my feelings (and I think deliber- ately) and then crawls out of it by laughing it off.

This domineering * youngster has the effrontery * to tell you WHEN he'll see you; he demands you give up * all other boys, and stay at * home alone unless he con- * descends to come over.... And * then he adds that it is for your * own good! • So you, being in love, play * the role of door mat. For e what? You have never heard * him speak of love, You haven't * even his class ring to show to o the girls who question you. * And how do you know he is * not seeing somebody else on * the side? * All he wants is to be sure * you are HIS girl, yet you have * no assurance he won't change * his mind overnight and leave * you flat. * What you want (and it is * little enough), is to be sure * that HE belongs to you as * surely as you belong to him. I * do not think you can be cer- tain of that, so long as you * crawl to his commands and * submit to his overwhelming • egoteem. Theonly kindd of a * girl he will take seriously at * this stage is one who respects * herself, who will not submit * to being treated like a moronic * child. * I suggest that you date any * nice boy you like, if only to * show him that other males * desire you, too. He needs to * be taught he cannot command * a nice girl as though she * belonged to him unless he " gives her the same loyalty he * demands. ,r * * * No matter how deep your * love, you could not be happily a married to him as he is today. * To keep your love, he will * have to deserve it, * This counsel you will not " relish, but if you ever hope to * win him, this is the one way * you may succeed. If you fail, * you can remind yourself he * wasn't worth having. A CONFUSED GIRL "Dear Anne Hirst: I am a very confused girl just past my ` 16th birthday. The boys I go with seem to like me, but they want to disregard my standards of a lady, my ideals and true convic- tions for happy companionship. "Why don't more parents teach and warn their children how to behave? I am appalled at the way our nice girls and boys are reduced to petting! If they had been told one decent thing by their parents, they would heed it.. .

Two British soldiers, on holi- day in Sweden, went into a church to join in the service. Not understanding Swedish, they took their cues from the man=sitting in front of them. They did pre- cisely what he did. At one point, the minister made a special announcement and the man arose. The Britons also quickly jumped to their feet, and a ripple of laughter spread through the congregation. The three men were the only ones stateding. 4's After the service, the soldiers made their way to the minister and asked why the people had laughed. "Because," he said in uncertain English, "I announced. - a baptism and asked the f;:ther to stand up," How Can I ? Q. How can I keep a piece of wallpaper for future use and snake it fade the same as that on the wall? A. After papering a room, take a piece of leftover wall paper and tack it in the attic where it is exposed to light and air. If sometime in the future a patch is needed you will have a piece that is the same color as the paper of the room. Q. How can I remove iodine stains from white fabric? A. By rubbing with kerosene and then with naphtha soap. Let stand for about twenty min- utes, ,and then wash in the regu- lar way with more naphtha soap. - Q. How can I improve the flavor of French dressing? A. Half a lime, with as much lemon, mixed with the French dressing, will add an unusually pleasant flavor, Q. How can I remove spots from velvet? A. Sonic snots can be removed from velvet by moistening a rag with' eucalyptus oil and rubbing. the article gently. The stains will gradually disappear. Q. How can X easily slice fresh bread? A. By dipping the knife in boiling water and then wipingi the difficulty of slicing fresh bread can be overcome. Reheat the knife as often as, it cools. Q. When should one sow R'rM5 seed? A. Sow thegrass seed :on. the lawn oil a calm day, Gr -'ass. seed is veryfine and light, and if sown on a windy day, it will not do very much good. Q. How can I get more heat from the burners of the gas stove? A. Be sure to wash the bur- ners frequently with soap suds and water. Clogged burners dull the flame and lessen the heat ob- tained from the gas. Q. How can I thicken the juice when making cherry pie? A. Rolling cherries or berries in flour before putting them in- to the pie crust will thicken the juice and prevent its running out. S L iNGERF Geeztedeelirue P Cie,viee At six o'clock in the evening this is what happens at our house. I generally have supper ready and. waiting. The kitchen door opens and through it, in this "order;'''come the 4followirig: `' Honey, our blonde cocker span- iel. Partner, with the day's sup- ply of eggs. Mitchie-White, house -cat, tail in the air. Black Joe, barnyard cat — except at meal -times, tail drooping. And bringing up the rear in an or- derly, leisurely fashion,_ Tippy; our ten -year-old collie. Honey tears around from cat -dish to dog -dish hoping to find a crumb of something somewhere, or perhaps a wee drop of . milk in one of the cats' dishes. Finding there isn't she sits as close to the stove as she can get, her nose almost touching it. Tippy hops down under the kitchen table. Mitchie-White and Black Joe are soon engaged in a wrestling match. Partner looks at me with a grin and says -- "Well, I guess we are all here --- is supper ready?" During supper peace reigns supreme. But after supper Partner goes out to milk. I start to clear the table --- fall over one cat while the other walks around my feet. Honey rushes anxiously back and forth. Tippy comes under the table and the wag of her bushy tail creates as much draught as an electric fan I open the kitchen door. Honey goes out to the woodshed, bringing back her tin supper- dish in her mouth. She drops that, goes back again . and this time returns with Tippy's dish, I mix up the dogs' feed and take it out to the woodshed. For the cats there is bread and milk and scraps, in a big fiat soup plate so that both may eat at once, Now, at last,.there is pace in the family,. Perhaps for half - an hour or so I might even get a little typing done. Unless the telephone rings a few times or some of our family drops in for a late meal. But I 'don'tthink that will happen tonight. Bob and Joy phoned in great glee this morning their first call after having a telephone installed. "So now," said . Joy "we are in contact with the outside world." I Think I trust give them an egg- ti -;?^r to warn them when their three minutes is up. For that three minutes goes faster than any three min- utes I ever knew. Faster than three minutes by the egg timer. That I know because I checked. tiny egg -timer' by our electric clock. Three minutes :. . such a lit- tle while out of a 24-hour day_ And • yet much can happen in three minutes. During the last ISSIl11 1v �: 1054 Always Dependable war two Airforce officers were returning to their base after a raid over Germany. One inciter was dead. The other had been hit and gave out just as they crossed the coast, Another three minutes flying time would have saved their lives. Saturday night there was a hockey game between the Leafs and Boston. Three minutes left for the. Leafs to even the score. But three minutes wasn't long enough. Last Tuesday I was in Toronto. Just before train -time I was talking to Dee from Art's office on Wellington Street. "What time did you say your train was due out?" Art interrupted. "Five -forty." "You'll never make it-- it is 5,30 now," "Oh no," I argued, "your clock is three minutes fast." I made it -- with two minutes to spare. I£ the lights had been against me it might have been a different story. Speaking of "a different story" — here is one. I discovered I have something in common with Ernest Hemingway. We have both been presumed dead! Only with this difference. Hemingway was presumed dead by the whole world. I by only one per- son. It happened this way. Two weeks ago I had occasion to call on a lady whom I had met quite frequently at W.I. affairs some years ago. I noticed she seemed a little strange. Last week I had to see her again. This is what she said' to me. You must have thought I was rather queer last week when you called,but really your com- ing was quite a shock. You see I thought you. had passed away a few years ago. I think I still have the clipping I -cut out of the paper!" Just another case of mistaken identity,of course. One thing I must say. It was really very nice, to find the lady quite pleased that I am still very much alive. And now just a word to my correspondents. There was quite a demand for my transfer pat- terns so that it kept me busy to spread them around. However, I hope everyone felt the returns were worth the effort in sending for them. Now may I say "thank you" for the many "thank you'' letters to me that are coming in as a result. It was nice to Bear from so many readers and I do appreciate your kind re- marks about this column. Again I say, "thanks a lot."
