Adams admitted calling federal agencies when. Goldfine's in- dustrial enterprises were under investigation but denied that his friend got any preferential treatment.

She persuaded the yOung.'inailt Erietl, to take her for a' picnic, •prOreis- Mg to bring along his favorite salmon sandwiches,. The pair sat down on a grassy knoll with the world to them- selves and the snow-capped Ba- varian Alps rising high and en,- chantingly in the distance, Strive • ing, to control her exc:tem,ent and. fear, the girl handed Erich two sandwiches, She had poisoned them with yellow phosphorous, though not enough to kill. The poison worked swiftly, for .Erich had only taken a few bites when he slumped to the ground, unconscious. Being a „Strang girl, use menages' to drag Ercih into his car and drove him to hospital, . Thanks to her prompt action, the treatment was successful and her sweetheart recovered. After, wards, a doctor congratulated use. "Ychi certainly saved his life," he said. "Yes, I meant to," she replied. When Erich came out of hos pital, their romance continued for several weeks and. Ilse imag- ined she had got Erich to herself again.

A specialist suggested she should take up "fancy -dance ing" to strengthen her lirtibs.

It's difficult to believe that London-born IVIarkova. will be forty-eight in December for in appearance she seems agelees. She does not mind the world knowing her age. "A ballerina is like old cheese and good wine she gets better as she gets older,' she says. Markova's height is only 5 ft. 21/2 in. Anton Dolin, her partner for years, has said that "her dancing arms and hands are the most beautiful of all time," add-. ing, "only Spessiva, of all the great dancers I have seen, had feet comparable to Markova's."

I have loved a girl nearly 16, for nearly a year, and I know' she loves me though I'm two years older, Lately I wrote her and said I thought that we should not continue our friendship, This is why: "She is a good Christian, and. I am not. I just got out of the state training school, and I'm so afraid I'd be bad for her that. I haven't seen her since.

If this problem is yours, too, write her about it at Box 1, 123 Eighteenth St., New Tor- onto, Ont. "Dear Anne Hirst: am moved to comment on that letter peinted recently where a young wife.criticises her mother-in-law so sharply, If she will permit a few suggestions, the life of their whale faintly might be more congenial. You heard, only her side of it, and. I thought your advice was one- sided and unfair to the older woman who never wrote you at all. '"Too many brides start mar- ried life with a preconceived re- sentment toward their mothers- in-law. Maybe this one deliber- ately ignores the other's opinion. If it were her own mother, she would listen dutifully and then do as she likes, which is natural, Why make an issue of it? Things would certainly be more har- monious if she were as consider- ate of her husband's mother as she is of her own. And if she loves her husband, wouldn't she naturally have respect for the woman who bore and trained him? "I am a mother-in-law. My only son married a lovely girl who, too, is an only child, and if there is any discord in the whole family I don't know about it. My daughter-in-law listens politely to my opinions; if she doesn't agree we discuss things calmly and intelligently. I love her as if she were really the daughter I always longed for, and I honestly believe she loves me as a friend, too. "This is because neither of us eternally wear our feeling on our sleeves, or complain about the other. We regularly call up, and visit often. She has been in the family now for four years, and never have there been cross words or hurt feelings. She knows how I love them and their baby, and she seems 'to be mak- ing a concsious effort to be the kind of daughter-in-law she will want some day when her little son marries.

But it the chance ever came ,again. I'd make a proper job of it!" When love is at stake, even a chance remark can sometimes rause alarming repercussions. In Glasgow, Marlene, a 23-year-old married woman, felt highly in- sulted when a girl she knew derided her for associating with men. Brooding over this insult, she invited the girl to accompany' her to a local pub for a drink one night.. While the girl was quietly drinking, Marlene suddenly seiz- ed an empty beer bottle, smash= it on the counter and, with tigerish frenzy, jabbed the gikl's 'face, exclaiming: "Now perhaps learn to mind your own business!"

This bespectacled young man has ne- ver been very fond of parties or social functions. He is very serious-minded and a keen schol- ar, :reading books voraciously. .e.One summer afternoon when ,he was in his teens , he disap- peared into the woods with a _book in. his band.• Hours passed'. The dinner gong went end the Royal Family sat down at table without him. Not until coffee, time did he turn up, rather dis- hevelled and out' of breath. •"I've been reading Balzac and quite forgot the time," he said. Scientific magazines from the United States, fascinate him. Every day he reads a bundle.of Belgian and foreign newspapers. He prefers Mozart and Mendek- sohn to jaZz. King Baudouin became heir to the throne at the- early age of three when .his mountain-climb- ing .grandfather,, King Albert, plunged to his death 'from a cliff near Namur. Before he was five his mother, the beloved Queen Astrid, was killed while motoring with King Leopold in Switzerland. It was believed that he would choose his bride at a ball for . 6,500 guests in his Brussels pal- ace last April, but after he had danced With three of'the eligible Princesses present the shy young King bowed courteously to each and left the ball before mid- night.

It usually 'draws a large crowd but there were very few people when I was there. Too bad after so much work and planning. But that's the way ehings happen. No matter how badly rain is needed it is bound to come at the wrong time for some people. The weath- erman• can't please everyone.- The cool weather is all right for what Partner is trying to do just now — neighbours say he is making a copy of the Great Wall of China. Actually Partner has been re-laying weeper tile alongside the driveway—it takes the run-off from the eaves- troughing. The original tile was too near the surface and got smashed. To do a satisfactory. job Partner had to raise the level of the ground for which a low, retaining wall along the drive- way was necessary. We have been bringing home stone in the trunk of the car for the job — stone that has been churned out of the ground by bulldozers on a construction job nearby. SOme- one asked if I. helped get the stone. "Oh yes," answered Part- ner, "my wife drives the car and points out the big ones for me • to carry over!" That's about the size of It, Funny, the way things happen. Quite by accident we also have stone here that came from Gin- ger Farm. We were visiting along Burnhamthorpe Road last week , where a patio was being torn np. "Could you use some of that stone?" asked friend Jim, Part- er laughed. "Didn't it belong to me in the first place? Isn't that the atone I gave you when we were on 'the farm?" It Was, so naturally we had to bring some home with us. It now has'.- Very .special value. We also have a fern that' has quite a history. About twelve years age one of our farm neigh- bours sold out: They gave ,a huge fern to the new ieavners. Four years later the property was sold again.

The atones arid the fern—, two instances Of broad on the Waters:, This week I give you another, view from our windows — this time from the kitchen and din- ingroom, both having the same view but from a slightly differ- ent angle. Quite close to the back door thete is a small copse of white 'ash trees, anywhere from three to twelve feet in height— a nice touch of green to look at from the kitchen window. From 'the north-west window beyond the trees there is a big expanse of open lawn and in "the middle of it the gym swings that we bought for our grandsons. But don't ever think the swings - are idle -when the boys are not here. Far 'from it. I never know what I am going to see from our din- ingroom and kitchen windows. During school hours the pre- schoolers have their fun: Charles a little English boy, comes ped- dling over on his "bike". A bright, independent little fellow. He plays for awhile and then comes in to-visit. Jill, two doors down, come along nearly every morning with her 'mother close- ly followed by Julie- and her mother. Julie is just at the tod- dling age. Usually the swing ses- sion winds up with the three mothers having a talk fest, in which Partner often joins as he' is often around inesthe garden, hoeing, watering or mowing. In the afternoon there is more noise and a lot more activity as the older children come rushing over after school, shouting and laughing, and taking turns on the swings or climbing like monkeys over the framework. Sometimes the mothers come looking for the children; usually, I suspect, to make sure they are not getting into mischief. By that time we are having a cup of tea and one or otigtr of the mothers come in to join us. Also around four o'clock there is a daily procession of children — four girls .and two boys, taking a short cut home from school across our property. It has be- come a daily ritual for me to wave frokii the window and six little hands to wave back: Beyond the lawn and the swings there is the line fence and either side of it trees, wild shrubs . • and rabbits!

June —1 the month Maybe You Have "Weatheritis" Watch that change in the wea. ther. When a spell of settled weather breaks suddenly, your nerves may suffer, causing care- less driving or forgetfulness when crossing the road. These observations emerge from the detailed accident stu- dies of a Hungarian professor, Dr. Laszlo Horvath. Examining the barometer's else and fall in relation to 12,- 000 road, rail and industrial accidents, he found a sudden weather change was a contribu- tory cause in nearly a third of them. The majority of these accidents occurred within four hours of the' weather break. In contrast, there was hardly an accident during a settled period. Dr. Horvath suggests that ra- dio warnings should be issued advising people to watch their step whenever a sharp weather change is predicted. You can, of course, yell "wolf" too often. But many people, as British insurance experts recog- nize, yield to nervous tantrums and take quite foolish risks' in- volving tragic mishaps when suffering from' "weatheritis," due to the breaking up of a prolonged good or bad spell.- Just two main pattern pacts plus facings— what could be easier to sew than this Printed Pattern!
