"Dear Anne Hirst: Seven
months ago a boy I'd met a few
times asked my girl friend to
get hien a date with me; that
she did, and we went out often.
I thought he was wonderful,
and my family liked him too.
I fell in love , .. A few weeks
ago, just before he left for the
army, the same girl made a
play for him and got him.
"She is known for breaking
up couples; I was too blind to
see it, and didn't believe stories
about her. She can get any boy
she wants, and I know why; she
doesn't hold them long, but
they're usually dumb enough
to fall for her again. Now she
feels so guilty she won't even
speak to me.
"I. know the boy really liked
me until she double-crossed me.
I would surely like to have him
back even if he is in the army
now. (He promised to write,
but he hasn't and probably
never will),
"It there any way to win him
again? I've tried dating other
boys I know, but they always
fall short. I'll do anything you
say.

THOUGHTLESS MAN
"Dear Anne Hirst: We have
been married four months, and.
I'm crazy about my husband.
Already, though, he is a prob-
lem. He has got into the habit
of coming home any time he
likes, without even telephoning.
:I am neither suspicious nor
jealous, but his office routine is
established, so why should he
stay downtown with men friends
while I wait at home on edge
and trying to keep dinner hot?
"To be fair, I should tell you.
he is an orphan and never had
a real home. Since he grew up
he's .been living in boarding-
houses and furnished rooms,
where he could have his meals
out whenever he chose. What is
the tactful way to impress our
present need of regularity?
BRIDE"
* Before he married, your
* husband seldotia had to keep
* regular hours, and I am sure
* he has no idea how his being
late upsets your routine. If a
* home is to be well -ordered.
• * a wife must follow a schedule;
* if her husband does not cone
* form to it the schedule is
* bound to be upset, to say
* nothing of the personal wor-
* ry to her and a dinner spoiled,
• * 'Remind the , roan that your
* busines of keeping house re--
* quires a routine, too, and ask
* him to seta convenient hour
* for dinner and be on time for
* it.
* Don't make it an unpleasant
* issue, of course, but let him •
a know you cannot run his.
* household properly without
* his co-operation. I expect he
* will need only one mention
* of it.

Don't despair if a new boy
friend doesn't continue dating
you. None of as can please
everyone we meet; we can, how-
ever, stay in circulation and en-
courage new friends ... It this

DIAGNOSIS
A doctor in Toronto still has-
n't gotten over his indignation.
In a burst of frankness, he told
a patient, "To be candid with
you, I'm having a great deal of
difficulty in dagnosing your ail-
ment. Maybe it's too much
liquor."
"That's all right, Doc," said the
m a n. • You can take another
crack at it tomorrow when you're
sober."

Coffee Grounds
For Divorce
Coffee is up in price and, ac-
cording to experts, will be still
dearer. It's a case of greater de-
mand. All over the world people
are drinking more coffee.
In 'some parts of Arabia.people
drink as many as 30 cups of
coffeea day. The fact that one
husband there failed some time
ago to keep his wife supplied
with. coffee was considered
cruelty and legal grounds • for.
divorce.
In Europe they have been
drinking coffee since 1683, when
the • Turks were defeated • at
Vienna. An Austrian soldier was.
rewarded by his Emperor for
bravery by being allowed to
take anything he wished from
some of the Turks who were
his ,prisoners.
He took from one Turk a
recipe which showed how "per-
fect coffee" could be brewed.
When he was demobbed, the
Austrian opened a coffee-house
in Vienna—the forerunner of
coffee-houses all over the world.
Landon used to have 3,000
coffee-houses. Today they are
becoming popular again in the
capital and other big cities.
Before Brazil had coffee as a
national beverage inany people
used it es a household medicine
against diseases. Some people
there still Ilse coffee as a general
disinfectant and eye lotion.
At one time coffee drinking in
Germany was permitted to only
a few very ''wealthy holders of
government licences. Men were
employed to spy on people to see
that they did not drink it.
They used to follow the smell
of roasting coffee to seek out
those who did not have per-
mits.
The smell of roasting coffee is
unique and lasting. Sailors have
said that they call smell green
coffee in the warehouses and
plantations of Brazil more than
a hundred miles out to sea.
What a terrible din there'd be
if we all made as much noise
when things go right as we do
when things go wrong.
ad Writing
A newly formed organization,
"Handwriting Foundation, 'Inc.,"
has set out to restore legibility
to American script, •
This news alone is-ahnusi as
heartening as the innovation of
the "typewriter signature."
'which took place around 1918.
If the endeavor succeeds we will
have witnessed a revolution
comparable to the invention of
the typewriter itself.
Not that bad handwriting is a
problem of the present day
alone. There is, of course, the
story (perhaps apocryphal)
which Mark Twain tells about
Horace Greeley's atrocious
handwriting. Answering one of
his loyal subscribers, a good
lady in Kansas whose son had
acquired an obsession for mak-
ing turpentine wine, Mr, Greeley
sent a letter by his own pen. It
appeared completely illegible,
and the key sentence was de-
ciphered at first: "Boston, botany
cakes, folony undertakes but
who shall allay?"
This seemed highly irrelevant.
Another and third attempt got
no better. results. "Butter but
any cakes, fill any undertaker,
we'll wean him from his filly,"
Finally, one of Mr. Greeley's
clerks sent a translation:. "But
diet, bathing, etc, etc., followed
• uniformly, will Wean hitn from
his folly."
We . know a man who, in his
childhood, was first taught ver-
tical writing, then backhand,
then "Spencerian." The result
must be seen to be believed.

After hearing reports of the
awful snowstorms in Manitoba
it seems incredible that we were
annoyed yesterday because it
was warm and sunny! "Annoy-
ed ... because it was warm and
sunny?" Yes, hut wait until you
hear why. For several weeks
Bob and 'Joy had been wanting
us to go down some Sunday for
a turkey dinner. The catch was
this: The turkey was in the
freezer so we had to let them
know Friday night if we were
coining on Sunday. All last
week we planned to go as of
yesterday. Then came Friday.
All through the day the weather
forecast was for mild weather
with some snow, changing to
rain or freezing rain on Sunday.
That fixed it. There 'was already
quite a bit of snow around the
barn so that melting snow, plus
more wet snow, plus rain or
freezing rain, meant plenty of
shovelling for partner, ditches to
run to keep the water from
backing up into the stable. I
phoned Joy and explained the
situation. Then carne Saturday
-- dull, thawing a bit, but no
rain, although it was still pre-
dicted. Then Sunday . .. a love-
ly day, the nicest Sunday one
could possibly wish for. So now
I think you will understand.
The "probs" couldn't have been
.more wrong.
Motorists were certainly tak-
ing advantage of the good
Weather yesterday: A steady
hum of cars on the highway all
day long. Different from ten
years ago when the travelling
public avoided this road because
of its numerous potholes. The
road was a hazard then to mo-
torists — now it is a hazard to
pedestrians. And half of them
don't realize it. Time after time
I have passed people walking
on the wrong side of the road.
That is bad enough in daylight
but at night it is — or might be
— a short cut to Eternity. If a
person who usually drives a car
has to walk on the highway,
you can be almost certain he
won't be found walking on the
wrong, side of the road, And, of
course we have children, on bi-

cycles or on foot-- they are li-
able to be any place, obviously
through lack of training. Safety
education should begin with the
parents but if the parents don't
observe the rules of the road,
what can one expect front the
children? In an accident the
fault doesn't always lie with the
motorist. Another thing for
pedestrians to remember, par-
ticularly the older folk who are
usually in dark clothing, that
bright sun can be as blinding

lightse Under such conditions
pedestrians should be particu-
larly cautious in crossing streets
or highways. Well, there you
have it ... and you have heard
or read it a dozen times before.
But did it register? That is what
counts.
Well now, here is a good piece
of news, be the weather what it
may. Last Monday Partner
heard a crow for the first time.
As for starlings they are con-
gregating in the tops of the
trees, singing away in great
style. Starlings can sing you.
know — some people think they
can't. Whether they have any'
distinctive song is hard to tell
as they have a way of imitating
so many, other birds. At this
time of year one is likely to mis-
take the starling for a robin.
Don't let it fool you -- just be
sure that bird you hear has a
red breast before youjoyously
announce the arrival of the first
robin. `
And here is another piece of
good news I have been saving
to tell you. Of course it may not
be news to all of youbut it
will be to some, especially' if you
have shared my experience of
cooking potatoes every way you
could think of and still had
them go black. Well, we dont
need to worry any more. We
can have potatoes white and
mealy, just the way we like'
them, by adding a little vinegar
to the water in which they are
boiled. Not much— not more
than a teaspoonful. Try it —
you'll love the result. But don't
give me the credit — it was a
clerk in a grocery who gave me
the tip. And I gladly pass it on
to you.
But here is a little item that
is our own discovery, and it is
quite significant. We have found
that people who always use
margarine lose their taste for •
butter. Margarine is practically
tasteless; all it does to the pal-
ate is take away the dryness
from one's bread or toast. This
was revealed to us by some
young friends who were here
to supper one night. The con-
versation got around to the sub-
ject of butter versus margarine.
