That letter leads me to ask you about another peculiar type of personality — my wife's. Whenever I apologize she says, "You aren't REALLY sorry. You are just saying you are sorry to get me off your back." I must then persuade her that I am honestly and truly sorry in order to get back in her good graces. At times I have virtually gotten down on my knees and apologized and she has said, "I can tell by your face you don't mean it." This happened again last week when she bolted both doors from the inside and I couldn't get in so I went to a hotel. I told her I almost broke the door down pound- ing, but she insists I didn't knock at all and that I welcomed the excuse to stay out all night. When I said, "I'm sorry," she said, "You are not. You are glad." What can be done about a woman like this? — ON THE DEFENSIVE. Dear Defensive: Some wives can't bear to let their husbands off the hook with a few sentences. They must keep the heat on indefinitely. If you can find a recording of that old song, "What CAN I Say Dear, After I Say I'm Sorry?" buy it and play it at the appropriate time. It might appeal to her sense of humor — if she has one. * * * Dear Ann Landers: Our 20-year- old son is in the service. He had a furlough recently and brought home an 18-year-old girl he wants to marry in a few months. The second day they were in the house my husband and my son were having a private talk in the library. The door was closed. The girl knocked on the door and said, "I want to come in and hear what is being said." My husband said, "We will be finished in a few minutes. Please excuse us." The girl shouted to my son, "Well, if I can't be in on everything you can go to hell." My son opened the door and she slapped him across the face. The boy was stunned. The girl ran to her room and our son followed. They had a talk and apparently smoothed everything over. We are afraid this marriage will be a nightmare. Our son says she is temperamental but he can handle her. What can we do to avert a marital disaster? — AGONIZED PARENTS. Dear Parents: A boy who would take such treatment from a girl is a little out to lunch to begin with. Don't talk against her. This would compel him to defend her and prove you wrong. You should, however. insist that he postpone the marriage for at least one year. The longer he waits the better the chances that he will not marry her at all. And if you make it plain he can expect no financial help from you he'll be less inclined to leap. * * * Dear Ann Landers: A few months ago my husband died. Almost immediately friends and re- latives began sending cards and letters addressed to "Mrs. Mary Doe" or "Mary Doe." I have continued to use "Mrs. John Doe" on my social stationery because of a personal preference and also because the etiquette books say it is correct. A woman shouldn't have to lose her husband's name along with losing him. Please tell people not to be so thoughtless and disrespect- ful. — MRS. JOHN DOE. Dear Mrs. J. D.: The people who address you as Mrs. Mary Doe in- tend no lack of respect. They sim- ply don't know better. A good way for folks to remember is this: When you address a widow please remem- ber her husband, too. * * * No teen-ager is as confident as he appears. Get clued in. Send for Ann Landers booklet "Dating Do's and Don'ts," enclosing with your request 35¢ in coin and a long, self-addressed, stamped envelope. Ann Landers will be glad to help you with your problems. Send them to her in care of this news- paper enclosing a stamped, self- addressed envelope. The Huron County Histori- cal Society held an important meeting Friday at Howick Cen- tral School. Huron is divided into areas and meetings are held in various centres for lo- cal interest and overall strength. Mrs. E. Mack, president, welcomed over 100 members and guests. J. H. Pollock chair- ed the meeting and Robert Gib- son, the reeve of Howick Town- ship, extended greetings. Howard Harris introduced the guest speaker, Norman Wade, of Gorrie, who spoke about the history of Howick Township. Mr. Wade has made a thorough study of the area and based his talk on many articles and historical items from- his personal collection. Mrs. Cliff Dunbar thanked the speaker. The Lakelet W.I. as well as a number of other interested persons brought antique items to display at the meeting. One of real interest was a quilt owned by Mrs. Norman Wade, which was started in 1884 to raise money for St. Stephen's Anglican Church. It is covered with the quilted sig- natures of the dozens of people who contributed. Included in this list of names is that of Sir John A. MacDonald, "C.C.B. Premier of Canada." Other prominent names of the day in- cluded Sir D. MacPherson, min- ister of the interior and Sir S. T. Tilley, minister of finance. Another quilt contained sig- natures of well-known people in the area, and was made in 1928 for a hope chest. It is owned by Mrs. Robert Allan. The Institute display contained many items of glass and china of ancient vintage. One of the highlights of the evening was the old family dress parade, a show with auth- entic clothing dating back to the eighteen hundreds. These were shown by live models whose forebears had worn them in the past. Mrs. Robert Gibson was commentator, using an old picture album for reference. Styles varied from decade to decade but the models made the show anything but "old-fashion- ed". Receives B.A. Miss Maureen P. O'Malley, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. N. P.
