"Very well, thank you," was. the reply, "he can already cur* very small children." It doesn't matter how good, looking you are or' how photo- genie, one thing is certain yOur ears are •odd! Youtv.aar&,am ,either different shapes or even different 'Sizes. You might not be able to tell by leoking in a mirror but pho- tographs 0 each ear, placed side by side, would prove it. If shapes and sizes are identi- cal then yoU'll probably find they are mit both plaped in identical positions• at either side of, your head. . If both your ears are identical in shape, size and position then you can pat yourself on the back as almost unique. You're one in a million, Ears area great give-away, too, so far as age is concerned because while you may have stopped growing when you were in your teens, your ears didn't, They start growing arisen you are born and keep on until you die. You, madam, may be very proud of your delicate shell-like ears but by the time you are forty they will be considerably bigger and not so shell-like. That is why most elderly and old people have large ears. By the time a man is tarty,- Ave he has started growing fine hairs round the edge of his'ears and on the lobes, By the time he is fifty they have to be trim- med each time he has a haircut. You may boast about your exs-* repent hearing but if you are past thirty it isn't as good as it was — very high pitched, sounds will have passed beyond the range of your ears, If you are a cyclist you can thank your ears for enabling you to cycle safely down the road. If you only walk, you can still thank your ears for keeping you on your feet, The canals of your inner ear are filled with liquid. They act as a kind of spirit level and they keep you nicely balanced. One of the essentials in tight-rope walking is to keep the head per- fectly still so that at the first sign of the liquid in the ear tilting, it can be corrected. This liquid can be upset when you spin round rapidly and that is why you feel dizzy for a mo- ment. You may get a slight dize zy feeling if you rise quickly from a chair. It is just that the liquid in your inner ear did not adjust itself fast enough. Ears are "passed on" from father to son much more fre- quently than eyes or noses. In fact it is fairly certain that you have the same shape and size of ear as your father and as his father. It wouldn't be an ex- * 4 "Dear Anne Hirst: You seem to be a practical, down-to-earth woman, and goodness knows Ina problem needs a cool head, For over a year I've been engaged to a man I'm crazy about but we can't find a place to live! it ens. en orphan, and have bad a couple of rooms of my own.)

Wardrobe Wonder PRINTED PAT]. ERN carried the covered pan outside. Then I opened the doors and windows But the air was heavy and the smoke wouldn't budge. So. I shut off the furnace and turned on the fan, In ten min- utes the house was free of smoke. When Partner came in he didn't know until I told him that I had tried to burn the house down. How and why did, it happen? I'll tell you—it may make some other woman more cautious. You see we have a new electric stove with an extra quick ele- ment. My old stove had solid burners that took forever to heat. Fat in the pan would never catch fire on that stove. But this one , . , well, Gordon Sinclair was partly to blame. A startling news story told with his usual dramatic detail caused my at- tention to wander. The Story? An eleven year old girl gave birth to a baby. Enough to make any woman forget what she was doing, wasn't it? - So friends if you have a quick heating element, watch out. Keep a lid, handy, shut off the air and smother the flames. Still more important shut off the heat — either that of Gordon Sinclair or the stove. Both going at once might lead to spontaneous com- bustion! HER FIRST DAY — The new Mist America for 1958, Marilyn Elaine Van Derbur began het first day with the title in Atlan- tic Sity. Marilyn had an early morning run along the beget as she wore , her new crow/ and carried a sceptre. Seems to me the weather of- fice and the C.N.E. officials shculd have put their heads to- gether and come up with more accurate weather forecasts for s the Big Fair. Here follows our own experience. The first Sat- urday of the Ex. there was an early morning mist. The "probs"- called for clearing by noon. Well, as you know it rained, and rained, and, as I told you last week, Partner and I got soaked. The following Thursday Bob and his family planned a trip to the Ex, Overnight fore- cast was for rain all day. It wasn't possible for them to choose another day so they took a chance and went. It didn't rain at all! They had a wonderful time. Friday Partner and I thought we would have a second day at the Fair. But the day dawned foggy and wet. We gave up all idea of taking the early aggeration to say that it one of your :ancestors fought at Aeincourt, he had tai's identical to yours. Feel the top of your ear just. behind the roll edge.

Later, as I had an invitation to the Press Tea I took the noon bus, By the time •I got to the Ex. it was a grand day and I was wishing that Partner had come along with me. Weather did not provide the only prob- lems. Last Saturday our near- est neighbours set out to drive to the C.N.E. But when they got to Sunnyside traffic officers stopped them from going any farther with the car. They put it into a parking lot and Walked the rest of the way — approxi- mately two miles — mother, father and a seven year old girl. That's what I call getting pleasure the hard way. Come to think of it farm folk on a rainy day, are better off than most, people at the Ex. That is if they are content to stay, in the Coliseum where it is quite possible to put in the whole day — looking at the livestock, watching the judging, admiring the many fine horses and ex- claiming at the wonderful ex- hibits and demonstrations put on by the 441 Clubs. Modern farm- ing requires modern methods — tractors and high-powered ma- chinery, but how uninteresting they appear compared with the sturdy, well-groomed Clydes- dale and Percheron horses. Just as well we have the ExhlGition and the Royal Winter Fair, isn't it, otherwise some children on farms might never know what a good team looks like? Speaking of children, they will be back to school this week and family life will settle down to a well-established pattern. Young enthusiasts will arrive at school long before the doors are open; dawdlers will rush in at, the last minute, 'dust a few sec- onds ahead of the bell. Little s tots, hesitant but inwardly ex- cited, experience their first day at school—with mother fearful as to their reaction, Little John —or maybe Betty—has been her baby until school days began. Now her boy or girl have their feet on the first rung of the lad- der of independence. Life at home is More orderly but for quite awhile mother finds there is a quietness and loneliness that tugs at her heartstrings. However, even without chil- dren at home life isn't always orderly, That I discovered one morning. A ring at the doorbell. I opened the door, there stood the milkman a sheepish look on his face. He had dropped a quart bottle of milk On the front porch. Such a mess! He gathered up the broken glass with broom and dustpans,apj then Partner turned the hose ott to the cement floor of the porch. Soon after that I was getting Fish ready to fry. I had my back to the stove and was listening to Gordon Sinclair at the same time. The pan was heating and I turned round lust in time to see the grease burst irate flathea, about a foot high. Ilrankly I was curious because it had never happened to me before, I knew there v. is no danger of tire as there was nothing near the stove to catch fire, In a Matter of seconds T remembered the important thing was to smother the flames, A close-fitting lid did the trick.

You two are not impulsive teen-agars, you can wait tut.- * til your marriage has a fair * start.

The housing situation has postponed many a marriage; but when there's a will, there's a way. If your fiance is convinced you will net mar- ry until you two can be alone, he will attack the problem more vigorously and help you find a place. Women have more imagina- tion than most men, and arc more sensitive to personali- ties and to their surround- ings. You may find it hard to persuade your man that you mean what you say, but he * must realite that only pa- * tience, and a fresh survey of * the local scene, can hasten 4' the wedding day. * Keep in mind that he will * undoubtedly want to continue * helping his sister along, so re- * mind him you'll be glad to start on a modest scale and * live in small quarters until a conditions improve. Save * every dollar you can for a fu- ture nest-egg, for no matter * how well off the man, that is * always welcome. * Don't think of breaking the * engagement. Talk things over, * inspire each other by your * love and faith.

Then he ob- jected furiously because she seemed to prefer me, and we don't see each other much. But yesterday he called me up and told me shocking tales about her, "I must find out how true they are. I love the girl now, but of course I am jealous of the men she knew before she met me, What shall I do? I couldn't bear to ask her. UNHAPPY" * Aren't you too smart to take * seriously any ugly gossip * started by a jealous person? * It may exist only in his own * mind, and was told you so you would stop dating the girl. * What does it matter, any- how? If you love her as you a say, you will ...not care about * her past. Why censure her for * something that happened (if * it did) before she knew you? * I suggest that you examine a the quality of your feeling for * her before you assume a bet- * ter-than-thou stand. * To wait for your wedding day is sometimes the hardest trial of all. But with love in your heart and faith in each other, it is wiser than to rush into a ques- tionable situation..:.
