"Dear Anne Hirst: 1 feel like
I'm 25, but I'm only 17. 1 have
done so many wrong things that
I wonder whether it is too late
to be good again? Three months
ago I met a married man. He
was honest and said he wasn't
single, but it didn't make any
difference to me; I let him come
to see me, and I fell in love,
"Last week I laid down the
law - he'd have to choose be-
tween me and his wife. He chose
her, and said I must forget him!
"Only now that I am alone
do I realize what a fool 1 was.
My reputation is gone, Only
this crowd I got in with will go
with me, and today I see what
a cheap lot they are . . . I wish
other girls would realize that no
married man means a single girl
any good.

FIGURES DO LIE
A man who discovered Inc
joys of fishing rather late in
Ide became even more insistent
than ordinary anglers -upon re-
counting his many triumphs to
sceptical acquaintances. Annoy-
ed by their thinly -veiled hints
that- he was untruthful, he
bought a pair of scales and made
his friends watch while he
weighed the fish he had caught.
One evening a neighbour burst
in -excitedly and sought permis-
ion. to borrow the scales. He
was back in ten minutes, his
face flushed with delight.
"Congratulate me," he cried.
"I'm the father of a 24-1h. baby

Two other visitors last week

will have a little time for other
things besides feeding, milking
and caring for the cows. Or as a
farmer would put it "he won't
he tied to the cows' tails all
day long." The extra jobs have
started already. Saturday Bob
was here and the two of them
cut down an elm tree near the
house whose branches were
touching the high tension wires
leading tram the house to the
bare. ln a bad storm those
branches might has' caused a
short rivettit. Now the tree is
down we have that worry off
our mind-. The grass is also
gettine the once-over. It had
reached an unsightly length
.leet, due to lack of rain, it was
not yet unmanageable. Every-
thing is crying out for rain -
-pastures, . crops, gardens and
forest tires. We haven't got our
vegetable garden in yet. Not
much good thinking about it
while the ground is so dry. Un-
lese, cif course, we water it, and
that we will not attempt.
Our mail -carrier tells inc the
starlings are giving trouble
again. We were not surprised to
hear it as one day I went for
the mail and found a starling
had nested in our box. We soon
put a stop to that. A few days
later I met the matinees: at the
road. As he gave Inc the mail
he asked if there was anything
in the box.- "No," 1 answered,
"not even a starling."
"That's good news," he re-
marked, "because the other day
I gave a starling a free ride for
about a mile. It flew out of the
mail -box and into the car."
That would be startling to say
the least. One of the pesky thinge
got into our south bedroom last
week. The storm window was
still on and the only way the
:bird could have got in was
through the ventilation holes in
the storm window. It takes a
lot to atop a starling once it
takes a notion to go places. I
think birds must be getting
tamer anyway. A neighbour

I think that idea of growing
perfumed flowers for the blind
was just lovely. We have a
young friend who is blind and
she loves to have flowers given
her and of course the first thing
she does is bury her faee in the
blossoms to guess their identity

one of his friends came upoo
him looking very glum.
"What's the matter?" asked
the friend, "Isn't your new wife

"She's kindness itself."
"Isn't she a good hopsekeeper

"None better in the world."
"Then what's the matter?"
