"I have cultivated his sister, and she says he hardly ever has a free evening. That scares me. What I want to know is, why doesn't he ask me for a date and take me out?

Let A Pig Do His Proposing The young farmer had fallen in love with the attractive girl who owned a neighbouring farm, But he felt too shy to visit her and propose, so he decided to let one of his farmyard pigs pop the question for him! This pig formed part of a consignment on the way to her farm, so he scribbled his pro- posal on the pig's back. The girl accepted him and a few months later the two farms came under common ownership. How men propose is always a fascinating subject. Novelists have devised hundreds of dif- ferent ways for their characters to pop the question, but many real-life proposals are much stranger than fiction. An acrobat at a North of Eng., land circus fell in love with a lovely girl member of his troupe. One night, as she sprang towards him at a height Of 100 ft., he grasped her ankles and "took the plunge," gasping, "Will you marry me?" Her answer was a smile that meant "Yes." The good-looking, twenty-four- year-old managing director of a London firm was recently pvc• ing up and down his office. He well knew that only ne could make the vital, irrevocable decision upon which so much hinged. Suddenly his face clear- ed — he had made up his mind, He strode to his desk and rang for his secretary. The girl ap- peared and he motioned her to be seated. Then he said briskly: "There's a most important letter Which I must dictate at once." She waited, pencil poised. "Dear Madam," he hega n, "events having recently brought us together —" tie paused, "That's a rather pompous way of beginning, a letter to the young woman I love, isn't it?" The surprised secretary, who had been entirely Unaware of her employer's romance, nodded. 116 Merle Allah& atteMPt. "Dearest One," he dictated, "I adore you but haven't been able to pluck Up the courage to tell yeti so when we haVe been together. this letter is, perhaps, the best: Wey of telling yon I want more than anything else In the world to marry you!" 4 Again the young man broke off. lie suddenly felt very =bar" gassed because his secretary's cleats blue eyes were turned on him so "Jest type it out and finish it in my own handwriting," he said, "What address shell. I put on the envelope?" the girl asked, It was no good. He had to tell her the truth, "The letter is for you," lie con- fessed, "I was too shy to propose to you in the usual way," She gave him his answer on the spot. It was "Yes," For this young boss of hers had attracted her from the start, despite his shyness, During the war a soldier and his bride arrived at a register office without bringing witnesses, so the superintendent registrar sent his office boy into the busy street and told him to bring in the first two passers-by he en- countered. He was back in less than two minutes with a young naval pet- ty officer and a rosy-checked girl — strangers to each other — whom he lied separately asked to act as witnesses. The newcomers liked the look of each other so much that they were exchanging glances before the brief ceremony was over, As the girl signed the register as witness, the petty officer whis- pered: "What about us marrying, too, next week? Will you be my wife?" "Yes, I like you," was her re- ply, They were wed three days later! When a French hotel chef fell in love at first sight he sent the girl, one of the strangest mar- riage proposals on record — in a large, 'roast chicken which he - had cooked. At dinner later she found his proposal' — a note wrapped in greaseproof paper in the stuffing. With her letter accepting him she sent the wish-bone- LEFT-HANDED WHELK — Ginny Hayes listens lo the music of a left-handed whelk on South Padre Island, Tex.

Modern Etiquette By Roberta Lee Q. When writing a note to decline an invitation, should one make it formal? A. This depends upon the nature of the invitation. If it is written formally, that is, in the third person, then your re- ply must be written in the same slyle. If the invitation is writ- ten informally, you reply in the same vein. Q. My daughter has become engaged to a young man whose home is in a distant city. She has never met his Mother, nut would like to write her a note. Mill you think his mother sheuld be the first to write? A. Yes, the man's mother should write a letter of wel- come to your daughter — and, if necessary, her son should ask his mother to do this, Q. Should birth announce- ments he incited to everyone, in- eluding those whom you have already told over the telephone? A. No; only to friends and relatives whom you have not told. Q. Would it be proper, upon leaving hoSpItel; to tip a train ecl: nurse who has been espeeial- ly kind end' efficient? A. Better not. Nurses belong to the professional class and might resent this, A nice gift, however, is in good taste. Is it prober' to Write a few line§ of good wishes on the bard that you enclose with a Wedding gift? A. While not necessary', it is a quite' 'proper and nice thing to It was a prophetic statement. A few days later things began to happen. Ross, at that time, still bore evidence of a really big "goose-egg" on the side of his head, result of falling down cement steps and bumping his head on the sharp edges. Then on a Sunday an S.O.S. from Daughter — Jerry had climbed on to the kitchen cabinet and taken a generous swig from a bottle of cough medicine. She thought he may have swallowed two or three tablespoons of the liquid. The doctor said give an emetic, if that didn't work make him drink milk and be sure not to let him .go to sleep. He said there was codeine in the medi- cine but not too much as it was a prescription for children. Well, either Jerry didn't get as much medicine as feared or he has a castiron insides. Anyway he was none the worse for what- ever amount he had imbibed. A few days later I was talk- ing to Dee on the phone and suddenly there was an unex- pected loud wailing — unex- pected because Eddie and Jerry were supposedly quietly watch- ing "Popeye." "Now what's the trouble?" I asked, "Oh, it's Jerry again — phone you back later." The explanation •was simple but painful. Before sitting down to watch Popeye Jerry had ta- ken the top off the pepper-pot and dumped the pepper into his orange juice! Even though his hands had been washed the po- tency of the pepper remained. The sudden howl was the re- sult of rubbing his eyes with peppery hands! I suggested bathing his eyes and smearing the lids with vaseline. Appar- ently it helped. Poor little chap I could just imaeine how his eyes were smarting. Friday night the whole gang came in after shopping. Dave was so excited he could hardly get out what he wanted to tell me. "Grandma, do you know what? I've get a guinea-pig at home to look after 'til Monday." Apparently the first graders at school have live pets in the classroom, to care, for during the week and to take home over the week-end — in burr), of course. Saturday morning another phone call from Dee, "I just had to let you know what happened last night, The kids were in bed and t was putting Way the grog series when I heard an awful squeal. I knew directly what had happened. Mischief (the Oat) Was after the guinea-pig.

When, Paul Niehans Was a sehoolboy in Bern, Switzerland, a somewhat awed, teacher wrote his father that "the power of his imagination can lead him to the limits of human knowledge." It was an apt prophecy, properly clouded. Today, Dr, Paul Nie- hat's, 12, stands in shadowy and centraversial eminence at the fringes of medical knowledge, In his luxurious clinic near Montreux on Lake Geneva, Dr. Niehans has now injected more then 10,000 patients with the pulverized live cells of unborn animals, mostly sheep, For 27 years, he claims to have achiev- ed spectacular "rejuvenations" and cures for a wide range of human, ills, from kidney and cardiac disease to prematete senescence and sexual impo- tence. His presumably satisfied patients include such famous names as. Konrad Adenauer, Somerset Maugham, the Imam of Yemen, and even Pope Pius XII, whose recovery from a near - fatal illness in 1954 was ascribed by many (the Pope included) to Niehans' injections. Niehans' methods have now spread throughout Europe. But to the American Medical Asso- ciation, among others, he is a charlatan whose treatments may cause cancer. In the first full-dress biogra- phy of this remarkable man, published recently, French jour- nalist Giles Lambert has trouble remaining objective. Even in childhood, N i e h a n s appeared larger than life: A brilliant stu- dent, champion athlete, and handsome swashbuckler wh 9 abandoned the ministry to be- come a doctor, he once delight- ed fellow medical students in Zurich by coming to a mas- querade as a rectal thermome- ter. After heroic service in World' War I as a volunteer surgeon with the -Swiss Red Cross on several fronts, Niehans became interested in transplanting organs from animals to humans. In 1931, Lambert writes, lie per- formed his first "cellular trans- plant" on a dying woman — by injecting crushed cells from a newborn calf into her chest. The woman lived (she is alive today in Bern, age 90), and cellular therapy was launched. Today, at the 'secluded Nie- hans clinic; the "curists" (as pa- tients are called) may and often do remain incognito. They never see each other. Dr. Niehans, tall and silver-haired and severe, visits each patient at the be- ginning of the four-day treat- ment and prescribes the injec- home with his dad but when Jerry saw the other two with baskets and funny clothes he went off on his own account and got a basket and his thick sweater and was all ready to go.
