She thinks she is fooling everyone. "We have been careful to treat her as though we knew nothing of all this, but we are getting fed up. I am sure Dad knows something, and we are really terrified that Mother, who is not well, will find out. It is no use talking to my brother. He believes everything she says, and we all know she lies consistently. "All our friends are nice to her, but I expect it is because they respect our family. We were all raised to despise di- vorce, and to lead upright lives. We don't drink at all; she and my brother do, and they leave the children with anybody at any time; we are so afraid they will be taunted later on with their mother's misconduct! She has even told my sister that my brother likes other women; may- be he is no better than she is, I don't know. "My sister and I wonder whether trying to talk to her, or to him, would help? We just don't know what to do, but we are worried sick. DESPARATE" * Under the shadow of scan- * dal, and grief, you and your * family have behaved admir- * ably and with fine discretion. * Even when your sister-in-law' * tried to cause trouble among * you, you held your peace. I * hope you will continue to. * It is your brother's affair, * and anyone who tells' him * about his wife (or attempts to * talk to her) will get little * thanks. Perhaps your brother * knows the truth and appears * to condone it for the chil- • dren's sake. If he should * learn it first from you, it be- * comes a family scandal in- * stead of his personal respon- * sibility. He is mature, and a * father. Let him handle it in * his own way. You and your * family take your • cue from * him, and be silent. * Continue to treat his wife * as though you knew nothing. * For his sake visit her, enter- * tain them all when they will * come, and be especially kind * to the children, Whatever * your brother knows or does * not know, or whatever hap- * pens, that will comfort him. * * * "Dear Anne Hirst: I am 1d, and haven't been out witih a boy yet. About seven months ago I met this boy, and we are madly in love with each other. He has asked me to go out with hien, but my parents just won't allow it. "I would love to go, of course, but I wouldn't like to hurt my parents. Can you tell me what to do? WORRIED" * Letters come . to me from * coast to coast about this prob- * lem. - In most parts of the * country girls of your age are * permitted to entertain boys * at home, or double -date them. * Parents recognize that a girl * needs a proper s .ciai life for * her normal development and * pleasure, and if she has proven * to be responsible in other * ways they welcome boys to * the house and try to make her * home a meeting -place for all * her friends. * Obviously, you and this boy * could not be madly in love * •unless you had been seeing * each other often. A girl who * meets a lad away from her * home is not only deceiving * her family but heading for * more trouble than she can * guess. Is that being respon- * sible? In other ways, too, per- * haps you have been so care- * less about keeping your word * that your parents realize you * are not to be trusted, • I may be all wrong, but I * do urge you not to cheapen * yourself by clandestine meet- * ings, or in any other way. You ▪ c^. -snot openly date a boy * a°•ainst your parents' 'wishes * and he playing. fair — and no * matter what he tells you, he * cannot respect you for it. It * is a frail and dangerous basis * for any healthy friendship. * Think this over. Obey your * parents, but try to win their * consent to entertaining your * friends at home, and include * this boy. If he is worth know- * ing, they may relax their rule • and help you enjoy a wider * social life. * * * If troubie comes to your fam- ily, stand by, and silently, with- out criticism of those ,involved.

HRONICLES hNGERJMM( r1?*10 D ....t.n Well, we have • been -"con- verted"—as of last Friday, and it was certainly quite an experi- ence. Maybe those of you who still have conversion to 60 cycle ahead of you would like to know what happened. Shortly before 8 a.m., hydro trucks started rolling along the highway—I had already counted 28 before one of them turned in at our gate. The driver came in, checked the equipment to be changed over and went away again. A little later he came back and got to work, first on the water -pressure system, then the washing machine and finally the milker and cream separator. When he came to the milk cooler he found he had been given the wrong motor so he- had to send to Toronto for the right one. About 3 o'clock another fellow came in to change the refrigera- tor. To give him more working, space I had taken. out every- thing that as movable . in my ' pantry—or kitchenette if you prefer to call it that. The man went to work, took out all the mysterious .works that make a refrigerator refrig, brought in all the new parts and then, after working for awhile, he shut up his tool box, announce, he had to get another part and would be back after awhile. That was the last we saw of him, and he had left the dis- mantled refrigerator and equip- ment still in the middle of the floor. I should say that by this time we were on 60 cycle. At 9.30 the power was shut off three-quarters of an hour. When it came tin again it was 60 cycle. During the - afternoon the man came back and finished the milk cooler, so, except for the `frig' we were all through. At 5.30 the fun began! The lights suddenly went dim. Not out but so dim one could hardly see to walk around. Partner came up from the barn. "How do you like 60 cycle?" I asked. His answer is better left un- recorded. From what I could gather afterwards the hydro office was besieged with calls, ours among them. "Something had gone wrong with the temporary transformer, causing low vol- tage. It would be adjusted as soon as possible." But, while we had low voltage people to the east of us had too much—lights were blindingly bright, furnaces racing like mad and fuses blow- ing out all over the place. How- ever, about nine o'clock the trouble was adjusted, lights were normal and Partner was able to finish his milking with the aid of the milking machine. But still the refigerator man had not returned. I wasn't tod worried, thinking he would be back in the morning. After all one might expect a little incon- venience. But then a neighbor informed me the men didn't work on Saturday. I should have known it! I phoned the hydro office and a weary voice answered—"Let me know in the morning if . he doesn't come and we will send an emergency roan out to finish the job," I `was satisfied to let it go at that, Meanwhile stepping around .the refrigerator and its cumber- some parts as best I could, try. ing to get a little law and order into the place, Altogether it had been .a try - log, day so by 11 o'clock 1 was /SNlUB'A —.11915 dead to the world. Partner, ap-. parently, was half undressed when there came a pounding at the door, and ' furious barking on the part of the dogs. I awoke with a start, wondering what on earth had happened. It was another hydro man . . to fin- ish the refrigerator job! Part- ner was in the middle of telling him he would have to come back in the morning when, with a hastily donned housecoat, I came out and suggested that since he was 'already here he might as well stay. After that I persuaded Partner to go to bed and I stayed up. It "was nearly one o'clock before the job was done, helped along .by a cup of hot coffee. So—that was our experience with the actual conversion job. And the results? Well, the lights are brighter; there is a differ- ent hum to the refrigerator and it ices up less quickly—which is all to the good. All the various .. motors run much faster which seems to be an improvement in- , sofar as the milking machine is concerned. One thing Partner doesn't like is . the fact that the motors do not fit as well as the old ones. There is a shaft stick - s ing out from the motor on the milking machine which gets in ;,his way. New holes had to be bored to" accommodate the motor on the cream separator, which we don't think is going to be too satisfactory. One rather funny thing happened. I forgot to disconnect the kit- chen clock. When 60 cycle came on the clock started up as usual but gained 30 minutes every hour! On the whole we are very well satisfied—just so long as our bill doesn't jump 50 percent. One thing I would like to add: all the men who have come in have been as courteous and ob- liging as one could • wish, Cer- tainly we have no complaints on that score. It was not the mechanic's fault he had been Sent out with the wrong motor. Eager to see a big business executive, a salesman finally got past a series of secretaries. "A saleman, eh?" snorted the big exec. "Do you know that my secertaries have thrown out fif- teen salemen all ready today?" "Yes, sir," replied the sales- man. "I'm them." Confessed 'Killing In 1927, Aparicio Vilela, then a minor, received an eight years and two months' sentence for the murder of his uncle, in Cam- po Belo, Brazil. Four years later, haying serv- ed half of his sentence, Aparicie was pardoned. To -day the ex- convict is a real estate broker in his home town. Now twenty seven years after his trial, the real criminal, Jose Posidonio, stricken by re- morse, has confessed on his deathbed to •a priest that he was the murderer. The priest would not grant absolution be- fore he had confessed his crime to a judge. The judge the Campo Belo was called to the bedside of the dying man. He revealed the whole truth in the presence of several witnesses.
