ANNE i P S 764,4 arraeat'y Vie , , "Dear Anne Hirst: I believed an a married man once, and fell in love . . When he found how much he had hurt me, he didn't have time even to comfort me. 1 was decent and respectable, and all he did was to make me ;heap. What do men like this deserve? "Please write a good, strong article criticizing married men for starting these affairs. R. L." IT TAKES TWO * No married man who tries * to entice a girl into an affair * can succeed unless she eon- * sents. He usually wins by * battery, complains that his * wife does not understand him * (or he has fallen out of love * with her) and he swears he has * never cared for any other .* woman as he cares for the girl. * But it cannot result in her be- * ing "cheap" without her yield - ing. * You hate this man because * you feel he made you the vic- w;; tim of his blandishments. You * yielded, though you knew it * was wrong. How couldy ou * have been so gullible as to * trust a man who was betray- * ing his wife? Dishonor was in * him. Why did you believe he * would be more loyal to you * than to the woman he promis- * ed to cherish for the rest of * his life—who by all the moral * laws had a claim on his fidel- * ity? * Why allow this bitter anger * to consume you? Instead of * harboring such destructive * thoughts, you should admit * your own guilt, and regret you * were such a fool as to be taken * in by the husband of another * woman. * You say you have read this * column for some time. You * must have found in it, over and * over again, the heartbreaking * stories of other girls whose * faith was betrayed. Presumab- * ly, like many of them. you * thought you really loved the * man, and were convinced that * your love was returned. Now a that you are left flat, why not *lock the door on the conse- * quences of your folly? * It is sad that you did not an- * ticipate the usual finale, and * end the affair yourself. * Any married man who tries * to win a girl is a despicable character. Occasionally, the love he declares is an honest • love; but unless he knows he * can fulfill the promises he a makes to her, the decent thing • is to withdraw, and leave her • free to rise from the ashes of * her memories and start a new ? and better life. • Perhaps this is what the man * has done. At any rate, if he * has any decency in him, he is * suffering now for the grief he * caused you. So why hate him? "Rather hate yourself for being so weak; admit your own re- * sponsibility, and go on, a • wiser girl, from now on. * One other truth: If you had * really Ioved him, you would * wish him well, despite your * present anguish. Affairs with married ,nail al- most invariably result in the girl's anguish and humiliation. Be warned. Ann Hirst sympa- thizes, and will help you get back an the right road.

C Le i,ke We feel much happier now than we did a week ago — hap- pier because one big field of hay has been baled and most of the bales stacked away in the barn. Of course it was not first quality hay -- although there was never a better field — but hay that is soaked and then bleached soon deteriorates. However, what it lacked in quality was made up for in quantity. Partner said he 'never handled such heavy bales. Come on in .. , the wafer's finel It is a dull, grey 'morning right now, and the robins are singing, so 1 imagine we shall get more rain before the field is finished. Ever noticed how the robins sing before a rain? We shall be glad to have all the hay off the field so the second crop can have a chance to grow -- and here's hoping we have better weather to take it 01T. While all the hay was still out something rather strange hap- pened around here. One night, while Partner was milking, I drove over to the next conces- sion for some strawberries that had been ordered. On the way home it began to rain. Before I had the car in the garage it was raining heavily and I had to make a quick run from the driv- ing -shed to the house. The rain pelted down for about ten min- utes. But it didn't rain at the barn! Partner was halfway to the house before he noticed his boots getting wet; He could hard- ly believe the evidence of his own eyes We have often heard of one farm getting rain, and maybe the farm across thr road not getting it, but that was our first experience of a sharp divid- ing line on own. property. Well, one has only to look around the country these days to realize the season is well on its way. Wheat is ripening fast -- and wheat is the beginning of the end. insofar as the harvest is concerned. Pretty soon we shall be looking around and wondering where the summon has gone to. Don't we always do that, year after year? But Ido hope when it comes to August 21, those of us who have tickets for "Canada Day" will have nothing come up to prevent our using them; and if we start planning now maybe we are not as likely to be disappointed. Of course 1 am referring to the Women's In- stitute pageant that is being staged in Toronto for the Asso- ciated Country Won of the "World. From a _ . utrtr, t. as have come my way this tren:.ond undertaking is now well and way. Ticketsv are selling like h cakes. Chartered busses nave ready been spoken for. So n it only remains for farm worn to make their own individ plans. For goodness 'sake do take the attitude that the lat part of August' is a busy ti and that you probably won't able to take a day off anyw You certainly won't if you a cept it as a foregone conclusio You know, staying home b comes a habit — just as runni around too much also becom a habit,. And it is usually woman who is to blame, Yo can't expect a busy farmer keep track of Institute and W. meetings. So if his wife st home he thinks it is because sh doesn't want to go. How man farmers know anything Owthis big event coming up i August? Well, Mr. Farmer, you should happen to read th column, and your over-conscien tious wife hasn't told you tha she would like to be away o August 21, then I'm telling yo now. Just ask her about it what is more give her a. littl shove if necessary. If she is to late to get a ticket for the 21s then she could still take in th Pageant on the 22nd. This oppor tunity may not occur again f possibly another fifteen years. And while we are on the sub- ject of the Pageant have you any old pioneer relics stowed away in the attic? If so get them out of mothballs because t h e W. I. would like to borrow them, whether you are an Institute member or not. An historical event of this magnitude 'requires a lot of antiques so the W. L is asking for all kinds of old-time clothing — for men and women too, also uniforms of the fight- ing forces for any period up to 1929. Indian dress and headgear is also required, as are black suits, hats and bonnets of the Mennonites. The pageant also needs spinning wheels, churns, cradles, old fashioned farm im- plements, powder horns and lan- terns. There is a collection centre in Toronto and all the loaned articles will be treated with care and returned to their owners after the pageant. Perhaps each branch could canvass its mem- bers and send in a collection as representatives of their own par- ticular branch. I have been in many ,homes where they have some wonderful relics of the past. I am sure great -grandma and great -grandpa would be bully honoured if; their could ow their homespun garments and 'pioneer farm implements are helping to reveal the past to our present generation. ous er- ot- al-. ow en ual n't ter th be ay. c - n! e - ng es the u to A. ays e y t n if is t n u e 0 t e or J-I-F-F..V t Lama Frosting, of flowers is delicious touch of this jiffy -wrap halter that tops shorts, slacks, skirts!

Since white is the Most fragile color to main- tain, improper laundering of any white fabric soon will result in discoloration. Despite its well- known washing ease, white nylon is no exception. Whenever white nylon garm- ents lose their original gleam and become slightly yellow or grey, laundry methods should be examined. White nylon clothing should be washed frequently in creamy suds and water hot enough to remove dirt thoroughly. If a water softener or a detergent containing one hasn't been used in an area where the water is hard, then the soap curds may be responsible for the off-white shade. The rule of washing color- ed and white garments separ- ately also applies to nylon, as it to tends to pick up dyes readily. As nylon is strong even when wet, clothing can be washed vig- orously when necessary. Nylon garments can be put in the wash- ing machine provided seams and trimmings are securely stitched and in no danger of fraying or tearing. To avoid unnecessary wrinkling, squeeze water out by hand instead of using the wring- er or spin drier. It is, of course, wiser to wash sweaters, stockings and socks by hand. Like other white fabrics, nylon garments require thorough rins- ing. A single rinsing will not re- move all soap from shampooed hair, nor is it enough for white nylon. Two rinsings in clear, warm water are considered a minimum. Strong bleaches should be avoided as they will weaken ny- lon as much as any other fibre. They should be used carefully when necessary, following direc- tions for cotton if none are given for nylon. There are whitening agents compounded to improve the appearance of garments that have been worn many times and have become slightly discolored. When washing tricot shirts and blouses, extra soiled collars and cuffs can be rubbed briskly with a cellulose sponge. Ironing can be skipped altogether by hanging them to drip-dry on a hanger without squeezing out the water. BRIDAL ERROR A newly -married society girl was determined to prove to her husband what an accomplished cook she was, and on the ser- vant's day off, set about cooking a chicken for his dinner. She plucked the fowl carefully, ar- ranged it neatly in a pot, and put it in the oven. Two hours later she heard a loud banging on the oven door, Investigation proved that the disturbance was being made by the chicken. "Lady," it cried piteously, "either give me back my feathers or turn on the gas. I'm freezing to death in this oven.,' Link With Past Romantic link with one of tie most fascinating eras of the Bri- tish stage, is revealed by the news that Edward Gordon Craig, son of Ellen Terry, is still alive and living quietly in a boarding house at Vence,' a small town perched in the hills behind Nice. He is eighty-one and has not been in England since 1951. He says he is too old to return now. But he treasures memories of his illustrious mother — the actress who for years was the English stage's First Lady He likes to recall that she was a good cook. "How she couldi cook an apple tart, and now ae- licious the crust was!" he says. Ellen Terry played her first stage part at the age of eight, receiving 15s. a week. It was a small part in "The Winter's Tale" and she played it for 102 per- formances, never being absent. Sundress 'n' Bolero 4665 SIZES 12-20;30 42 s PRINCESS STYLE! It's the new style of the season!
