"Dear Anne Hirst;
When I married a year ago, I
had an ideaof what my husband
was like; but, being in love, I
took the optimistic view. Now
I've found him out.
"He has no principles, no in-
tegrity, no values. He is complete-
ly without morals. And he drinks.
He squanders his money, is in
debt, and hasn't bought me a
single thing since we married.
He is abusive, and suspicious,
When I tell him I simply cannot
live this way, he says I have the
green light—but he won't give fne

"Recently, I got a job and pre-

I am pregnant—and he claims
the child is not his.
"I have no friends here. My

* File this plan in the back of

* When you must stop, ask for a
* leave of absence, If your hus-
* band is still adamant about
* money, go home to your parents.
* They will take you in, and
* share what they have with you;
* you will at least have shelter
* and protection and temporary
* release from anxiety. Should
* your husband refuse to pay
* hospital bills, your father can
* handle him, legally if neces-
* sary; a man of your husband's
* nature will usually squirm be-
* fore the law, knowing he is
* licked before he starts.
* You want your baby. Keep
that wonderful day before you
* when you will hold him in your
* arms, and you will know that
* all you have suffered has been
* worth while. Refuse to concern
* yourself about your economic,
* or emotional future; as the
* time draws near, you will find
* it easier to relax and to hope,
* and that is your first need. .
u You still love your husband,
* with that unreasoning love that
* some whole -soured women can •
* contain, Whether you will re-
* turn to hint, lies in the lap of
'TM the gods. Let it stay there.

Gets Measly near—Shed ca tear for Morton Shubert, 23, of
Beachwood, Ohio,,who came down with three-day measles
the day before his wedding. He got married all right, but
didn't get to kiss the bride, the former Jo -Ann Friedman. Shu-
bert, his bride, their parents and his brother, Norman, gathered_
in the Shubert home for the marriage ceremony, "it took just
five minutes," Shubert said. "f got up out of bed, put on my
tuxedo, l went downstairs and got married. Then she and the
others
went to the reception and I hear they had a fine time,
went back upstartrs, took off rny'tuxedo and went back to bed."
Best he can do now is look at his bride's picture and talk to her
on the telephone.
Ex't, Laughing—Actress Shirley Booth uses a screwdriver to point

a farewell program, "Highlights of the Empire/' Broadway's way
of bidding farewell to the famous old theatre.
Ex- Stable- Boy was
Power Behind The Throne
Just seventy years ago—within
the memory of many oldsters
still happily with us—the youn-
ger members of the Royal Family
suddenly burst into a round of
festive parties and theatre -going.
The great John Brown was
dead!
The British Rasputin, the
power behind the throne, had
caught a chill while investigating
a mysterious stabbing affair in
Windsor Great Park, and within
a few days all was over.
Her eyes red -rimmed, Queen
Victoria prayed at his coffin. The
wreaths of two empresses were
placed on the bier. Every shop
in Windsor was closed as
son of a poor Highland craft,
returned to the glens,
But then affright ran through
Court society when it was known.
that John Brown had left behind
a thick wad of diaries , ''. . and
that the Queen herself was writ-
ing the inner story of his life.
Diaries Burned
Hurriedly the Queen's secre-
tary, Sir Henry Ponsonby, im-
pounded the diaries and it is
said they were later burned on
the instructions of King Edward
VII. Certainly it was on that
monarch's orders that all the
busts and statuettes of Brown
scattered through the royal pa-
laces were destroyed.
At royal Windsor, too, John
Brown's bedroom in the Clarence
Tower was kept as it always had
been . , , until King Edward or-
dered it to be refurnished and
turned into a guest -room.
Just what was behind the
mystery that surrounded (tie
widowed Queen and her strange
Highland retainer? A scurrilous
pamphlet on the Queen, entitled
"Mrs. John Brown," lent cre-
dence to the baseless story that
they were secretly married.
What else, people argued,
could explain the position of a
manservant • so privileged that
he could give the Queen orders,
a Court favourite who could
treat statesmen and generals
with insolence.
As a Billie Brown had led the
Queen's party to mountain -side
picnics, putting nips . of whisky
in the royal tea and at one time
actually carrying the Queen ae-
ross the rushing waters of a
burn,
Ey the .prince Consort's order
Brown was Sion appointed to
attend the Queen's 'carriage at
all times. And after the Prince
Consort's early death it was
Brown who aroused and recalled
her to life.
"Brown," she said, laughing
one day, "you are better than the
doctors."
"Away, Ye Daft Fools"
In the Highlands the carriage
overturned in the snow, send-
ing the Queen hurting through
the air to land on her face, It
was Brown who bathed her cuts
with claret and bandaged ' her
with handkaerchiefs. Another
time, when overeager crowds
swarmed around the Queen's
coach, it was Brown who vehe-
mently cried: "Away wid ye,'
ye daft fools. Can ye nt3' reeve
a poor widow alone?"
When Queen Victoria was in
Jeer Mid -forties, s, Brown was
thirty-seven, a superb specimen
of mature highland roan'hood,
State historians point out that
had there been an inkling of in-
correct association, the ladies-
in-waiting would have resigned.
But the Queen wrote: "'i feel in'"
sore need of someone to cling
to securely ... someone to com-
fort and pacify me .. .
In her relationship with
Brown, this feeling was gradu-
ally ` unleashed, though it re-
mained unconscious on both
sides_ When news reached the
Queen's ears that jokes were be-
ing made about "Mrs. Brown,"
she 'characteristically gave him
greater authority.
Lesser mortals gazed in aston-
ishment. During a royal visit to
the Duke of Richmond the
Queen's luggage, including her
''nightclothes, went astray and
the Queen refused to undress.
"Well," cried Brown, when he
was stunmoned, "ye'll snore just
as good in yer shift. Pull off yer
claes and get betwixt the sheets
without yer togs!"
The Queen obeyed.
"What are ye doing with that
black dress on again?" he de-
manded on another occasion,
"It's green -moulded!" And when
the Queen, on one of her sketch-
•ing excursions, had difficulty in
choosing a table to sit among
the heather, Brown lost his tem-
per, picked up one of the dis-
carded tables and set it before
her,
"It's no' possible to make ye
another table up here!" he an-
nounced.
Seance Messages
Another day, the Queen was
about to step down from her
carriage on to a step smeared
with mud , . and Brown
instantly whipped off his sporran
to give her clean footing. Faith-
ful service long association, me-
mories and old sentiments long
shared together . , . these marked
the affectionate association of
employer and faithful retainer.
Brown sometimes stood be-
hind her chair, openly eaves-
dropping while affairs of state
were being discussed. Politicans
knew it would be futile to pro-
test. He read the newspapers
over her shoulder, pointing out
items he felt she should not miss.
But, above all, spiritualistic
seances were • being held in
Buckingham Palace at this time
and it has been suggested that
John Brown was the medium.
The spirits to which Brown was
addicted were perhaps of another
kind. Yet there is certain evid-
ence that the purported spirit
voice of the Prince Consort spoke
at one of these seances, and
among other messages gave John
Brown a special commendation,

Modern Etiquette
By Roberta nee
/ Q. When a man is entering an
elevator with a girl, or getting
out of an elevator, which one
should precede?
A. He should allow the girl to
enter first, and also to step out
first, unless the elevator is
crowded and he is in front of the
door.
Q, Who should be the first
person to place his or her napkin
on the table at the conclusion of
a small dinner party?
A, The hostess, and this is the
accepted signal that the meal is
over.
Q. Who pays for the bride's
bouquet, and for those of her
maid -of -honor and bridesmaids?
A, The bridegroom pays for
the bride's bouquet, a n d her
family stands the expense of the
bouquets for her attendants.
Q. If a young woman is tra-
velling alone on a t r a i n and
meets a pian with whom she is
well acquainted, would it be all
right to allow him to pay for her
meal if he wishes to do so?
A. This would be quite all
right.
Q. When a girl has been visit-
ed frequently for almost a year
by a young man from out of
town, and he invites her to spend
a week -end in his home, Is it all
right for her to accept?
A. Only if she receives an ex-
press ivitation from the young
man's mother.
Q. Should one place the serv-
ing silver on a dish of food when
asked to pass it at the table?
A, Yes, always.
Q. If a girl becomes engaged,
and she has n� family, would it
be. all right for her .lane's fam-
ily to announce the engagement?
A. No. The bride -elect always
has this privilege, and if she has
not the means of giving an an-
nouncement party, then she can
always extend her "good news"
through the local newspapers.
Q. When giving an informal
dinner, how should the hostess
let her guests know the seating
arrangement she wishes?
A. The hostess should stand at
her place, and tell each guest
just where he or she should be
seated.
Q. Is it necessary to make the
"thank you" note a lengthy one?
A. Not at all. It may be brief,
just so it is written promptly
and is sincere in its tone.
Q. It is proper for a boy to
ask a girl for a date if he hap-
pens to know that she is serious-
ly interested in another boy?
A. There certainly is nothing
improper in his trying.
"Although 1 ant gone," said
the voice in the hushed darkness,
"John Brown has been given
you , . , . , ,
So runs the attested star y;
and for further proof there is the
strange inscription on Brown's
tombstone, penned by the Poet
Laureate at the Queen's com-
mand:
"That friend onwhose fidelity
you count, that friend given you
by circumstances over which you
have no control, was God's oWn
gift."
JThe Queen did not write her
projected biography of Brown.
Lord Davidson, the Dean of
Windsor, had the delicate task
of dissuading her. No . sooner
was this matter disposed of than
the Queen took as her personal
attendant a second John Brown,
actually his cousin, a man stran-
gely resembling his namesake
though smaller in stature.
John Brown was dead, but an-
other John Brown, a mute re-
plica, stood silently beside the
Queen to the end of 'her days.
Supermarket Spies
1fas anyone been trailing you
around the supermarket or gr --
eery store lately? If so, it
wouldn't be surprising, because
people Whose business" it is to
note your=;"prekerences and make:
shopping'•weasier for you, do that
from time to time.
One report on what a typical
food shopper looks for was given
in Chicago recently et the Na-
tional Packaging Exposition, And
the report came up with some
interesting facts.
For example, this typical shop-
per •— the lady who pushes Jun..
ior around the local superman-
, ket in a tote cart — likes her
crackers and cookies in inner -
sealed packs. The reason givert
was that these packs keep the
contents fresh and crisp.
She also likes her fresh meant,
fruits and vegetables neatly pre-
packaged so she can pick therm
up quickly and speed up her
shopping.
She likes to see the bread she
buys. And, what's more, when
the store manager isn't looking
she even squeezes the loaf to see
if it's fresh!
In general, the factors she
looks for are visibility, such as
provided by packages wrapped
in cellulose filen, convenience,
freshness, variety and economy,
And here are some of the rea-
sons why she turns down some
items in favor of others: "Can't
see what's in the package" --
"quantity is too large" — "not
enough cooking directions"
"number of • servings not men-
tioned" — "no recipes" — and
. "price not clearly narked,"
Today's shopper has a lot of
home and social duties to fit in-
to her busy day. Shopping im-
pressions must be made quickly
She is highly conscious of value
and quality and freshness.
And pleasing her is the aim of .
food merchandisers. .
