* ded life she envies' suffered
* the same temptations she fears
• now. But they were strong
* and wise; they refused to soil
• their love by forbidden pas-
* sion. They waited until their
• marriage could be b.1 e st by
o their church and their fami-
• lies, and their life together
* began clean and sweet, un-
* tarnished by any blot on the
* escutcheon.
* These two do not realize
• that marriage requires a char-
* acter of the highest order, a
* faith in each other's funds-
* mental goodness, and the
* never-ending practice of res-
• traint. If, they are afraid to
r be togther now, they are cer-
° tainly not fit for the responsi
• bilities of marriage, and parent=
° hood.
TQ "HOPEFUL": I repeat to
* you my advice to the thousands
* of other youngsters who have
* confessed this fear. You can
* lessen the temptation to do
* wrong by speading your dates
• further apart and arranging
* that they occur in less allure
* ing circumstances. When you
* are togther, busy yourself with
° practicalplans for the future;
* talk about your fiance's jobs
* and the opportunities they pre-
* sent. Don't be alone together
* so regularly; double -date with
friends, swing with the crowd
* and keep yourselves in active
* circulation.
* You speak of the God-given
o children you hope for, yet your
o thoughts are dwelling on the
o possibility of breaking one of
* His most solemn command-
o ments. Would you deserve in-
* nocent children to guide
* through life if you content-
o plate sin as inescapable?
o Love is not all passion. It is
* only true love when it brings
° out the best in each person.
° This, you two are not doing;
• you are too concerned with
• the physical, not enough with
* the spiritual side of life. Cul-
* tivate that now, so this lad
• will know he is getting a wife
* who is strong enough to be
* good, and worthy to be the
a mother of his children.

SOLDIER'S BIRTHDAY
• "Dear Anne Hirst: I have been
going steady with a soldier who
is now overseas. My 17th birth-
day was a few months, ago, but
not knowing about it he did
not get me anything.
"His own birthday comes soon
and T don't know whether to
send him something, or just a
card. What do you suggest?
"I think you are doing a won-
derful job for us youngsters, and
for my part I thank you.".
WONDERING"
* Send the soldier a birthday
° card by airmail. It may arrive
* late, so write a pretty note on
• it.
° Say you have just learned
* about his anniversary and the
* card may not get there in
° time; therefore, you want him
o to know you are thinking of
° him and looking forward to
* the time you two can celebrate
* birthdays together.
* This will be a gracious ges-
* ture, and the more welcome
r because it is unexpected.
* * *
There is no substitute for be-
ing good; it is as simple as that.
Don't set the stage for tempta-
ion, and if it comes run away
from it . In any hour of
trouble, ask Anne Hirst for cour-
age and the strength to do right.

Gv¢ndoUne D Claeke
I am sitting out on our back
patio. A welcome breeze is blow-
ing; robins are singing from the
tree -tops a sure sign of rain.
Not more than fifty feet from
our back door a killdeer is nest-
ing. We are not surprised as
ever since we came killdeer have
been very busy on our lawn—
and they are so tame. Have you
ever seen a killdeer's nest—that
is if you can call what we see
a nest? In a slight hollow in the
grass the mother bird has laid
four speckled eggs — big eggs
considering the size of the bird.
No attempt has been made to
line the nest. It is just a hard,
dry hollow on a rough piece of
lawn. We would never have
known it was there except that
the mother and ft they bird came
and chased Partner away when
he was mowing the grass, There
are very few cats in this neigh-
bourhood so we are hoping the
nest will be left undisturbed.
Other species of wild life around
here are a family of cotton tails,
a couple of grass snakes—and
mosquitoes. When we are water-
ing the plants we think there
are plenty but compared with the
farm we know they are not
over -abundant. Any time we
drop in at the farm to look
around the mosquitoes greet us
in swarms. They get a good meal
while we are there but what
do they live on I wonder when
there are no people around?
Quite apart from the result
Of the Federal Election (!) last
week was quite interesting — in
the places we went and the
people we met. One visit was
near here, to a home where
they kep white rabbits, chinchil-
las and a dog like Rusty. Some
of the chinchillas are worth
$500 a piece. Lovely litttle
things with fur like chiffon-
velvet. Apparently they are easy
to feed and keep clean—much
less work than rabbits. But ima-
gine one of those wee things
being worth as much as many
a highly bred registered cowt
It doesn't seem reasonable but
there it is. And think what it
would mean to lose one.
As for the rabbits — I have
always had a sneaking fancy for
rabbits so I think Partner was
quite relieved when we came
away_ without any. There was a
:new litter too little white
bits of fluff with beady pink
eyes so I imagine I might have
bought a pair had we wanted
them. It is really rather fatal
to show one's interest in domes-
ticated livestock. I have already
been offered a kitten and been
promised a canary. A bird would
be something new in •our house.
At the moment we don't want
anything at all to tie us down.
We are to busy doing some of
the things together we have al-
ways wanted to, but never could,
because, as Partner used to say '
"he was tied to the cows' tail."
Last Friday we spent the day
on a farm near Shelburne. We
were almost in time for break-
fast! The weather was grand
when we left here but north of
Orangeville we drove through
heavy rain. We thought it was
coming as the lovely ;Caledon
hills were shrouded in mist.
Partner managed to milk titres
cows before we came home and
found he hadn't forgotten the
art. The cows were registered
Jerseys — and the calves like
little fawns — without any spots
of course. During the day the
skies cleared and we were able
to feast our eyes on the lovely
scenery. But then the humidity
closed in and the drive home was
not too pleasant. We got back
soon after eight, meeting a con-
siderable amount of traffic head-
ing north, presumably to sum-
mer cottages, which I hope they
found less stifling than our
house when we got back. With
unsettled weather.. in the offing
we left the place shut up and
the curtains drawn. It took a
while to cool the place as there
wasn't a breath of air anywhere.
Suddenly, it is summer.
Another interesting event was
a W.I. meeting at a lovely farm
home not far from Ginger Farm.
It was a striking example of
what can be done with old farm
houses if one is prepared to
spend the money. Much the same
could have been done at our
place. We knew it but what
would have been the use with
the new highway right at the
front door? So we have gone
modern instead and have al-
ready discovered that modern
conveniences can be very in-
convenient. At Ginger Farm we
had an old-fashioned roll -edge
bathtub — easy to get out of
by grabbing the edges. Here
we have a full-length stream-
lined affair which Partner finds
is not the safest thing for arthri-
tic joints. The first thing I did
was to buy a suction rubber bath
mat but even that isn't the an-
swer. What he needs is some-
thing to hang on to to raise
himself up. There is a big tap,
of course, but how can one be
sure the tap wouldn't come away
from the wall? Has anyone any
suggestions to offer? Seems to
me this is something that might
*be taken up by Good House-
keeping or a Welfare Agency.
There is no doubt about it,
stream -lined bathtubs are a
menace to elderly or partially
disabled persons, irrespective of
age. Too often broken .b ones
have been the result of slipping
in the bathtub. Somebody to the
rescue, please.
Modern Etiquette
by Ro ,erta Lee
Q. Will you please list' some of
the expenses of the bride's par-
ents for her wedding?
A. The invitations,' the bride's
trousseau, decorations for the.
church, soloist's and organists at
church, transportation for the
bridal party, the wedding re-
ception, dinner or breakfast,
the bride's presents to her
bridesmaids, and a wedding
present to the couple.
Q. If one is served a cup of
coffee filled to the brim, would
it be all right to bend over the
cup and take a few sips, so as
to avoid any danger of spillage
when lifting the cup?
A. You must not bend over.
Take a sufficient number of
• spoonfuls of coffee and sip these,
until you are sure you can lift
the cup without spilling.
Q. When having a ;piece of
silver for a baby marked with
t.nly one initial, should it be the
first or the last?
A. The first.
Q. How does a woman secre-
tary -identify herself on the tele-
phone to other business people,
as Miss Adams, or as. Helen
Adams?
A. Usually, as Miss Adams.
However, if she is well ac-
quainted with the other Per-
sons and they know her by her
first name, ' it is quite all right
for her to announce herself as
Helen Adams.
Q. Is it necessary for a bride -
elect to reply to notes of good
wishes from friends who have
seen her engagement announce-
ment in the newspaper?
A. While not necessary to
write notes, she may telephone
some of her friends and she
most certainly should thank all
those whom she meets. ,
Q. Is it correct to pour gravy
from a gravy pitcher, or must
one use a gravy ladle?
A. Either way is correct.
Q. When one has received an
invitation two weeks in advance
of •a large dinner, party in a
friend's home when should , ons,
acknowledge this invitation?
A. Immediately. There is
nothing so inconsiderate as
keeping a hostess waiting for a
reply to such an invitation.
Q. What should.a girl do when
a man calls . at her home unex-
pectedly, and site has a pre-
vious engagement?
A. Tell him immediately that
she is sorry, but that she has
an engagement. She may, if she
wishes, invite him to call again.
Q. Our son has just become
engaged, and so far we have not
met the family of the girl. Isn't
it our son's obligation to take
us to meet his fiancee's family?
A. Certainly it is, and as soon
as possible.
