"Dear Anse Hirst; .I've been
engaged for over a year, and my
fiance is growing impatient. But
hesitate to marry him because
of my mother. She is not only
handicapped, but very spoiled.
"She has always frowned on
all my former beaux and does
not get along well with niy
fiance. I know it is chiefly her
fault because she hates the
thought of losing me by tiTar-
'tage.
"I cannot afford to pay her
board elswhere. She would have
to live with us and, frankly, the
thought frightens me. But I must
either take that chance or enol my
engagement.
"My fiance and I love each
other dearly, but I cannot ask
him to wait any longer. He is a
patient man, and wonderfully
kind, and says we will manage
somehow. Ent have I the right to
expose him to my mother's
whims? UNDECIDED."
TAKE, THE CHANCE
* If your fiance is as eager to
marry as he seems, why not
" go ahead? He will make alley--
" antes for your mother's tem-
' perament. and he would not
* offer her a home unless he be
• lieved you three could live to-
• gether agreeably. •
't Tell your mothet that yo,,
'" have fixed the date of your
* wedding, and expect her to be
* more tolerant toward your fi-
° ante. Selfish as she is. she
" should be grateful that you
"' have found someone to love
▪ you and take care of You. When
" she sees that your marriage
* is inevitable, she will have to
• reconcile herself to it.
* In planning your tieing ar-
" rangements, I suggest that you
e provide a pleasant room for
* her, furnishing it more like a
* sitting room, with her own
* books and radio. When you are
" settled, encourage her friends

It has been a horrid, wet. mis-
erable day, and this afternoon
we had a slight 'thunderstorm.
When he heard it Partner said
-- "Thunder in March, empty
barns in September." Just a say-
ing of course, but I suppose all
these old-world weather pre-
dictions must have been tound-
ed on the personal observations
of country folk throughout the
the years. Here are a few more
weather forecasts all wrapped up
in rhyme.
Signs of Foul Weather
"The hollow winds begins to blow;,.
The clouds look black, the glass
is low.
The soot labs down, the spaniels
• sleep
And spiders from their -cobwebs
creep.
Last night the sun went pale
io led.
The moon in halos hid his head.
The boding shepherd heaves a
sigh
Foe see a rainbow in the sky.
Hark, how the chairs and
tables crack—
Old Betty's joints are on the rack,
Her corms with shooting trains
torment her
And to her bed untimely sent her.
Loud quack the ducks, the sea -
fowl ery,
The distant hills are looking nigh.
'Twill surely rain, we see'i with
sorrow—
No working in the fields
tomorrow."
Dr. :Erasmus Darwin.
The couplets go on for an-
other 38 tines but check en the
ones I have given you and you
will probably know then whether
or not it is going to rain!
Main or shine, it doesn't worry
me very much when 1 am at
home but if ram going away for
a day I wish I could be sure
whether it will be warm or cold.
Last Friday, for instance. I had
to go to Toronto. And the 'fore-
cast was for high of 55! I rush-
ed down town to pick ep my
spring coat from the cleaners so
for once I was quite comfortable
0, 1 AM WITH YOU ALWAY .
Matthew 28:20
in the city .At least I was as
comfortable as I could be while
riding around in the street -cars
for a good- pari of the day. I
mean that literally as I had to
go to the opposite outskirts of
the city twice — but fortunate-
ly not in rush hours. I also had
occasion to visit one of the de-
partments in the Parliament
Buildings, and believe me, 1
couldn't have been treated with
greater courtesy or consideration.
11 was very gratifying to find-
public
ndpublic officials so pleasant and
obliging to an absolute stranger
One sometimes hears rumours
to the contrary.
Another experience last week
concerned plumbing, and as a
result we are very thankful we
are not faced with the necessity
of putting in a furnace or a bath-
room. Our outside pump was
giving trouble. Partner was sure
the leather washer had perished,
and so we sent for a plumber.
Tinie was when Partner would
have done a job like that him-
self — but it is beyond hint now.
The plumber arrived, along with.
his assistant; took out the pump,
fixed it and • put it back again.
The men were here less than
an hour yet the bill for labour
alone was $5. Now, just suppose
we had to have a big job done,
an eight-hour day would cost at
least $40 for labour, plus the
high cost of materials used. That
is the sort of thing that snakes
farmers dissatisfied with their
own returns, A bathroom today
would run into at least $1000 —
and possibly considerably more.
It would take a lot of milk, eggs,
cream, or wheat — or even eight
or nine Cows -- to make up a
$1000.
Incidentally, the trouble with
our pump was not caused by a
defective washer but by a nice,
fat frog. The brass screening had
broken away from the intake and
this poor little frog had become
wedged in the pipe. Partner was
almost afraid to tell me they had
found a frog in the well! He
needn't have been. The thought
of a frog in our drinking water
dict not worry me — not for that
length of time. Frogs and water
seem to belong together. And
after all frogs' legs are consi-
dered a delicacy. It it had been
a rat or a few dead mice , ugh!
that would have been differ-
ent, Come to think of it, it would
have been more appropriate had
they found a snake — so close to
St. Patrick's Day.

Hid Their Money
In Queer Places
A Cornish farmer, persuaded
to invest. in National Savings
produced £150 in half-crowns
from an olcl milk churn. He was
one of those people who for
sone reason distrust banks and
choose strange hiding -places for
their wealth. For even in 1953 -
there are folk who like hoarding
their savings in , places where
they believe they will be "safer -
than the Bank of England." '
An old man in Eire had a
shock when One day he discov-
ered that his wife sold one of
the household pillows to an old
junk man for a few -pence. No
wonder! The pillow contained
about .£400, his life savings,
which he had deposited there
selsetly without telling even his
wile. -But he was lucky; he man-
aged to retrieve his fortune from
the junk merchant.
Treasury notes for £450 re-
mained wrapped round cistern
pipes in a Liverpool House for
three Years before they were dis-
covered by a new tenant, It ivas
found that the old tenant had
placed them there during a long
period of frost to keep the water
from 'Freezing and because he
thought it was the finest possible
hiding -place. When he moved
out, he forgot the money!
A tobacco jar, a dog's kennel
and a music -stool have been
used at various times as "banks."
A retired Lancashire mill -hand
who suddenly decided to en-
trust his savings to a bank said
he had previously kept them in
a stuffed bird.
An old woman who died some
time ago had Rept her money in
a hollowed bone. And it was
found that a patient in an United
Stay s hospital had for five years
used her wooden leg as a safe
ch•n,nit tor 52,000.
A roan had seven thousand
sovereigns under the floor of his
bedroom in a Teddington house
during the first World War. He
put tlieni in tobacco tins, he said
later, and concealed them there
"for safety against air -raids" The
lids of the tins were glued down.
Some people carry fortunes in
the , clothing they wear every
day. A woman old -age pension-
er left a Blackpool. hospital with
nearly £5,000 tucked under her
arm in a brown paper parcel. Her
hoard was discovered, fastened
with safely -pins in her Many
pockets after she had been
knocked down while crossing a
road. Some of the notes were
new; many were limp and roiled
and had obviously been carried
around by the woman for years,
Many of thew were screwed into
tiny palls.

Good Taste For Teens
By SALLY MoCRA±
This week we're going to talk
about that common teen cow -
Plaint. "Why Boys Lose Inter-
est." The boy in your life doesn't
'phone any more and 'Whig is a
pretty dull affair without him.
Even your girl friends tell you
your torch is showing. And the
sad thing about it, it isn't the
first time this has happened. Just
a couple of months age, that
terrific fellow, for no apparent
reason, walked 'Out of your life. -
Before him there was Jimmy,
whom you also thought was ter-
rific, just didn't call any more,
either,
You just can't figure it out;
you're niee enough looking, wear
keen clothes, dance quite well,
in fact you believe you're all the
things you think boys like in a
girl, But they just don't come
over any snore. Its enough to give
a gal a king-sized inferiority
complex. Besides, think of the
wear and tear on your Heart`
its terrific, Something is wrong,
that's for sure; but WFXAT?
You wish and wish that some-
one would tell you, Well, that's
our aim. In :fact, we've taken
..things in aur own hands -and ask-
ed the boys. to tell us. Here are
the cjuestions and their answers.
I4 you were going with a girl
and liked her very mueh, what
could she do that would make
you lose interest 10 her, to the
extent that you'd stop going with
her?
Possessiveness. Boys apparent-
ly, just don't like possessive girl
friends. They say, A. smart girl
never makes a boy feel trapped.'
Being chased. Boys don't like
to be chased by a girl, They feel
very strongly about this, They
say, they like to pursue and that
they lose interest as soon as they
discover a girl is theirs for the
asking. Anticipation, they say, is
part of the chase. and if they •
know how a girl is'going to act,
-because she has already done her
part, they stop chasing and• lose
interest. They said they lose in-
terest from a lack of the admir-
ation, which every boy feels for
the girl who is hard to get, This,
they Mid us, doesn't meant a girl
has to play coy, A smart girl
waits for a boy to ask her fora .
date, she doesn't 'phone suggest-
ing dates and making plans,
They did say, that sometimes
a girl should play games with a
boy and not let him know that
she sits at home, waiting for him
to all, A smart girl doesn't let
a boy become too sure of her.
PRETENSE: Boys say they def-
initely dislike pretense or arti-
ficiality in their girls. They want
their girl friend to be a girl and
to be herself; feminine and in-
teresting.
So girls know the type of per-
son you are. Perhaps your strong
point is sympathy and warmth
and this makes you naturally in-
terested in others and in their
problems. Therefore, you can
make a boy feel superior and
masculine by stressing your own
femininity. SUPERIOR: Boys tell
us they don't like a girl who acts
