my dearest friends has been
running around four or Ave
Months now, and a group of us
are wondering whether we
should tell her, or decide it is,
none of our business. We feel
she can put a stop to it if she
doesn't wait too long. ,
The man holds an important
post in town and he couldn't
stand any ecandal. If his su-
periors discover this, he would

HE HAD HIS CHANCE.
Dear Anne Hirst: The boy
I've been dating nearly six
months is a nice boy in every
way, and sd far as I know he
has no bad habits. He is kind
and thoughtful, and very atten-
tive, but I just can't help think-
ing of a former boy I Elea so
much more! I went with him
for two years, and he kept on
drinking although often he
promised he would stop. Now
he has called me up again, and
of course my family won't al-
low me to see him.
They admire the boy I'm go-
ing with, and of course I don't
want to hurt him, but really I'd
haVe much better times with
the one I used to know. What do
you think?
UNHAPPY
e*. You gave your former boy
eriend _more chances to be-
eve himself than he de-
,serVed, and Still he continued
t6'cleink as before. I am afraid
if you: see him again it would -s• bekeelit'eeame story; you cer-
* thinly don't want to be dis-
* illueioned again, do• you?
* For years and years T, have
* warned young girls against
* dating any boy who drinks.
* Not only does it weaken' the
* morals, but the girl gets her
* self talked about unpleasantly.
* And surely you don't Want to
* appear so unpopular thateYoue,
* can only date a weak charac-
* ter? That doesn't recommend
* you to zesponsible young men
• whoonight become interested.
* It is smarter to stick to a
** boy you can trust to behave
* himself •than to go with one
* who gives you a ,vicarious
* thrill now and then but whom
* you are ashamed of.

BACK DROP — Two 47-inch
strands of fresh-water pearls
fall gracefully down the freck-
%ad ba5k of a model to enhance
her bareback gown. The ''Shu-
Von" necklaces, by Judith
McCann, are versatile lengths of
matched pearls framed by
liants. They can be warn in
many ways, from a multi-
strand choker wound about the
throat, to a flapper-style neck-
lace.
Taking a Walk
In hew Gardens
The other day, when it had
stopped raining, Joy and I Went
over to, Kew to walk in the gar-
dans There was something strange
about the place„ Something in
the air, besides the mist. We
seemed to be the only people
there (except one or two uni-
formed attendants and Seine qui-
etly busy gardeners).There was
no one on the gate. The atten-
dant was sitting in the warmth
of his green hut and did not,
for the moment, notice us, Then
he heard us. He came out, took
our thruppences, let the turn-
stile turn and went back inside.
We walked on. The paths, were
wet. The grass, which was un-
usually long for Kew, was wet-
ter. Except for a few blue and
yellow crocuses—weather-beeten,
but brave—the only colors vis-
ible were greens• and grays; the
greens of grass and bush and
tree and the grays of the "tem-
ples," museums, and plant
houses, and of tire mist.
The gardens were a world
alone confined inside the arc of
the mist. Although they had the
beauty of well-tended parkland
they did not have the real feel
of Kew. The mist was cold. And
a pale, shadow sun was trying
to feel its way out.
Perhaps it was a mistake to
come to Kew at such a time, so
early in the year. The museums
were closed and the plant houses
mostly shut for repairs. It seem-
ed impossible that this was
Kew, glorious Kew, the English
garden that has been teacher to
the world,
The man from Kew sailed in
that open boat .with Bligh across
the empty ocean to Timot after
the mutiny on the Bounty. In
this case his name was, D,avid
Nelson. He was after breadfruit
trees, to teke tee the Caribbean.
The, man"'froin Kew—Sir Jos-
h' enii"flookerprovided 'the first
rubber plants for Malaya and
Ceylon.
The man from Kew—Henry
aY A e, „ see that the first trees flourished'
and persuade planters that rub-
ber had a futuie.
The man from Keeve.-eFrancis
Masson—brought the flowers of
Africa to England (including
the geranium). The man from
Kew ,developed the• cocoa enclus-
try. The Man from :Kew spread
the Himalayan rhododendron
clear across the world."
So we picked our way across
the wet grass down to the Pa-
goda, an octagonal tower 163
feet high built 200 Years ago by
a knight who wrote essays on
oriental gardening, and then
down a wide avenue (called, I
believe Cedar Vista). A "droop"
of exotic geese, which had ,been
sleeping perched each on one
pink leg in a strengthening patch
of sunlight—you can't call sleep-
ing geese a "gaggle," surely?—
woke up and barked at us for
disturbing them.
At the end of the lake a black-
bird came and hopped around,
looking inquiringly at us. We
greeted him and then went on
to the Rhododendron Dell—a
few early types had flowered
but then surrendered to the
night frost—where another alert
blackbird hopped out beside us
and looked up at ue. Or was it
the same blackbird?
Then, a little further on, an-
other .bird appeared. We were
being followed.
We passed a gardener on a
ladder pruning giant azaleas
(and said "Morning") and then,
when we had gone a sufficient
distance and were again alone
out in the open parkland, we
stopped and I put the back of
my left hand to my lips and
made a series of chipping noises.
At once one, two, three black-
birds flew down and hopped'
around us, cocking their heads
first one way and then the other.
A flock of sparrows came. A
robin. And two chaffirithes, onie
of which sat on the toe of my
right shoe.
We suddenly realized that, of
course, all morning Kew had
been filled with bird song. The
gardens were full of soUnd.
There was a thrush now at the
top of a bate chestnut tree sing-
ing like a nightingale.
Down on the ground the birds
looked up at us expectantly. I
felt a bit of a fraud, for I had
tio crumbs for them. We were
surrounded with birds, They
seemed to be saying somethieg:
"Where is everybody? Where
are they? bon't you know that
spring is going to be a little early
this year?"
There is no doubt about it.
The song bit& of England have
Made up their Minds on that
score:
We could almost imagine that
Xew was' already blaring with
color—a magic garden that is
the warmest place iii England.

"Well," sighed the son, `'that's

, There is one advantage to a
big farm house — if the west
side is 'cold you can generally
take refuge in the south side of
the house. That is what I am
doing now: •A north-west wind
is blowing .a regular gale' mak-
ing the front of the house as •
cold as a barn. We can't get
more heat from the furnace
, without leaving it unchecked,
and that we are afraid to do.
Better be a little cold than take
a chance on burning the house
down. However, we have one
small room in a sunny south
corner that, is as snug as can be
— and so, here I am, typewriter
and all. This makes the third
windy day we have had this
week -- March winds with a
vengeance. Last Tuesday was the,
first -and on that day the De-
partment of Highways set up
some kind of road block just
outside our gate, stopping and
questioning the driver of every
south-bound vehicle. The men
were there from seven in the
morning to six at night. Pre-
sumably it was some kind of
traffic census. Such a day for
a job like that.
Wednesday Partner sent out
another load of scrap — the
metal remains Of our seed-drill
and manureLspreacler — with a
few extras thrown in. Bicycle
wheels for instance. It is years
since anyone around here rode
a bicycle but yet, there were the
old wheels still hanging from a
wooden peg. I doubt if they
were of any use but as the years
go by you get so used to things
being around you don't even see
them. In a different sense that
was literally true for me. I
am still indulging in a trash-
burning orgy, also stacking end
sorting the things I Want to keep.
One time I looked around and
wondered what on earth I had
done with the ChriStnias tree
lights and trimmings. I hunted,
and I hunted — in cupboards
and boxes, in this room and that,
but. I could not find either the
lights or the trimmings. So I
finally went on' with my work:
Soon t had another carton of
stuff to burn. I took it otter to

suppose I shoudn't worry—after
all it isn't the youngsters who
care; it is just their foolish par-
ents and grandparents.
Two days later. The weather
has improved considerably — no
more snow, very little wind and
plenty of nice warm sunshine.
,It would seem "all's right with
the world". That is if one does
not look too far,. afield, politi-
cally, economically and weather-
wise. We had a, card yesterday
from friends vacationing in Flor-
ida. They said the weather ewas
cool but they were hoping it
would be warmer later on. But
since that card •was written we
have heard rumours of gales,
terrific rain and meteors in the
Florida region. So we are _, nat-
urally wondering . . . Also in
the news last week was the Fed-
eral budget. It will please some
and make very little difference
to others. We shall benefit about
twenty-five cents a month on
tea and coffee. That should be
a vote-catcher! We had a friend
staying overnight the evening
the budget was brought down.
She lives on a farm a good many
miles north of here and she cer-
tainly didn't find anything to
cheer about. Of course a lot de-
pends on how you look at it. I
was thinking old-age pensioners
would be quite pleased but one
old lady said to me "I guess it's
all right but it's almost too late
for me. I won't have long to
enjoy it." I suppose her re-
marks are understandable. She
is a widow, well over 30, her
earning capacity gone and yet
so independent she does every-,
thing possible to exist on her
pension. Somehow she does, very
Well except that every visit from
her doctor, and every bottle Of
medicine from the drug store is
a major financial problem, Ver,
haps when the FecleraleProyin-
Oat Health Flan comes into
being it will make things a little
easier for pensioners, I sincerely
hope so,
But wage,-earners have their
problems top — which may ul-
timately benefit the farmer, For,
instance one young boy worked
on a farm for a year and then
decided he could make more
money in en industrial plant.
Now that same plant is laying
off men and the ,young fellow
in question went to the farm
where he had previously worked
and asked for his job back again,
Another instance concerns two
brothers. One stayed on the
farm, the other quit, thinking he
could make $5Q a day trucking.
He soon found himself in the red
and unwillingly admitted that
his brother on the farm made
more money than he did with
his truck.
