"Par- ents demand a great deal of sons-in-law, but what do they • expect of their daughters? From their own experience, they must know how essential it is that a girl know how to cook and keep house. Mothers can- not. expect marriage miracles when they *don't even teach their daughters how to live on an allowance; money doesn't grow on trees, and a bride should know how little a dol- lar buys nowadays. Many young husbands, fresh from their mothers' well run homes, get the shock of their lives when they witness the disorder they come home to! "A good marriage depends largely on the ability of both to give and take - but how many girls are brought up with no consideration for the rest et the family, just demanding and getting their own way? They can't expect a husband to be contented unless they ack- nowledge he has some rights; too. One mother I know told her girls, "You cannot give to children what you yourself have .not developed." I say to moth- ers, you aren't good enough to deserve children unless you have learned to discipline yourself. am not a slacker, Anne Hirst. I work on my job and I come home every night.

"Dear Anne Hirst: The man I am in love with is 13 years older; I am 17. My family think he is too old for me, so he won't come to the hens e. I don't agree, I think he should, so they really can come to know hint. I've been meeting him outside because he says that is the only way out. "I have thought of leaving home next year, when 1'11 be of age. l"m certainly old enough to know what I want, and I want him. MARIE" • It is the man who is wrong, * not you, He should welcome * the chance to visit your par- * tints and talk things out. If * they like him, he might con- e wince them that, being older, * he understands you and can * make you happy. You will * probably wish to get their ul- * timate consent, but this ap- * preach is the first door to * open for it, • A girl of your age who- con- * siders leaving home is not rna- * ture enough to choose her life • mate. She lacks the necessary * judgment. and she hasn't the * stability to face disappoint- * ment. Relax, Ask your mother and * lather to welcome this roan, " and tell him if he does not " seize this opportunity, you will * have nothing to do with him. * That should reveal his integ- • rity - or the lack of it. Next to an unselfish love, the finest Bowery a girl Curl bring to her groom is a knowledge of homemaking and pride in her job. One of the rewards is knowing that a husband who is comfortable and appreciated at home seldom seeks happiness elsewhere.

"Anything wrong?" he inquired sleepily. Anything wrong: As if I were accustomed to crawling under beds in the middle of the night. "No, nothing at all," I an- sttwred sweetly, "Just go back to sleep, there's nothing to wor- ry about." I yanked out the plug, somewhat viciously, I'm afraid. Peace and quietness at last: And then I slept until day- break, With the dawn we found the ground covered with snow, and big, fluffy white snowflakes still drifting down, partially covering the rain -soaked fields and deeorating the shrubs and trees. We were so disappoint- ed because Bob and Joy were coming to take us to visit friends away up in the Shel- burne district: Seeing the snow we at first gave up the idea, After all. if it was snowing here we didn't know what we might run into up in the snow - belt. And then the sun carne out and we changed our minds. By noon we were on our way. The farther north we got the more snow: we found. Some roads were slush- but with solid snowbanks on either side. But the snowplows soon had the highways in good condition The well -wooded, snow-capped hills were, very lovely. Down in the swamps were the greenest cedar tree: we had seen for a long white, die erect from the brow- nish trees we het around here. The friends v:e were visiting Eve on a snow -tilled side road. I Wouldn't have tackled that rood for anything but Bob took it i in his stride and by Care - driving, re - dr vi - a: d backing up Mee and there. got us through with hardly any trouble at all.

And, now it is Monday again, The sun is shining, spring flow- ers are peeking through the ground, and along the south side of the house rosy rhubarb crowns show that the miracle of spring has begun, even though it, will be a little while yet before tractors are seen in the fields.
