"Dear Anne Hirst: I have to
confide in someone, or go eiazy.
My emotions are contrary to
everything I've believed in, That
knowledge does me no good. My
mind and my heart won't agree.
"When I was 17, I fell m love
---completely: I know he loved
nye (wornen can tell) but there.
was only one flaw in our ro-
mance --- he was married. I was
already lost, My family found
out, and he was drafted—all at
the same time, They intercepted
his letters, and I thought he had
forgotten me.
"Two years later 1 married a
elan I'd known three months.
My life since has been years 01
drunkenness, debts, and misery
I suppose my husband loves our
children, but he ignores them ex-
cept when he's drunk, and then
he's disgusting , .
STILL IN LOVE
"Last June I mot J. again. It
was as though those eight years
had never been. I love him more
than my very fife, and he Loves
Inc. But—
"There are our children; he
has three, also. There is no
chance of our ever being to-
gether, I feel that I can't stand
it! I can't see him, and I can't
bear not seeing him,
"Must I go on like this the
rest of my life? — Wanting him,
and hating myself for it? I fill
my days, but even that doesn't
help. What can I do?
D. K.
" Perhaps the most painful ex-
" perieuce in life is to want what

* to realize that we shall go on
" wanting it, though it is forever

Live in today, work its prob-

They Died Twice
Medical men are discussing the
amazing case of Mr. William C.
Biosson, of Brooklyn, New York
who a few weeks ago was certi-
fled to have died from a heart
attack.
His body was Lateen to an un
dertaken for embalming. As he
Iay in the mortuary, one o1 the
staff was horrified to notice that
his eyes were flickering slightly
They rushed the man to hospi-
tal where, twenty minutes late?
he sat up suddenly and declared-
"Whoever said I was dead? I
certainly am not,"
A similar case of a man" com
ing to life" again was reported
from New York three year's ago
The man, aged 65, was twice pro
pounced dead within foul hours
—and twice revived by heart
massage,
There is no authenticated case
in Britain of a person recovering
after being certified "dead" by e
doctor, In Britain a man is pre
stored dead by law after his
heart, breathing and lirculatior
have stopped for five minutes.
Physiology today teaches mai it
reversible changes occur ut the
human brain and other vita-
organs if the circulation stops far

the coffin -lid was seen to move
slightly and a white heard ap

There was also the Hellen won;

to a London auctioneer recently

tiny pages is just over' one: six-

It is .r train -washed country -

and beautiful country., 'Empire
Day week-end—and the weather
such a disappointment to those
living in the city who had plan-
ned a long week -end in the coun-
try; and for hone gardener's, anx-
ious to put in plants and seedlings
now the danger of frost appears
to be over. Come to think of it,
isn't it foolish the wary we plan,
for either work or pleasure, with-
out allowing for the fact that the
weather, or circumstances, or
family responsibilities, may make
it impossible for us to carry out
our ,program. We plan without
a margin, And yet a margin is so
necessary. It is a safeguard against
disappointment; a place to re-
treat when plans fail to material-
ize. Remember the time when 01-
vitations tc both public and so-
cial events often had in brackets,
after the time and place was
given, (D.V.) — meaning "Deo
Volente" or "God Willing", D.V.
is a term that is hardly used at
all these days—fn fact what D,V.
stands for may be completely lost
on present-day readers. We make
plans to suit our own conveni•
ences—very rarely do we think or
say to ourselves, "God Willing".
And so, if and when our plans
don't work out the way we ex-
pect, there is no margin of re-
treat. We feel hurt as a result
and go around with a chip on our
shoulder.
1 remember, some ,years ago,
one business-man-ftu'mer, a mid-
dle-aged bachelor, very efficient
and antedate. 13e planned every
hour of every day, for himself and
his hired help, Ask him on Satur-
day when he planned to start hay.-
ing
ay-ing and he would tell you—"Well,
I figure I'll be in the first -field by
10 o'clock Tuesday morning." Or
ask him about his milk produc-
tion and lee would say --"Next
monde I have three more cows
corning in, then I shall be slip-
ping five carts daily." That lam-
er plcutnee without a margin. The
result was continuous frustration,
A heavy rain or the loss of a eow
completely upset his calculations.
One day he was found lying in his
own driving shed, a discharged
gun by his side.
Probably the liepp]ete farm
fops are those who allow a good
wide margin in planning their
farm and home operations; 'who
always have asubstitute plan if
circumstances make it impossible
to carry out the original one.
Heavy rain may stop seeding for
a day or two -but it is a good
chance to clean up the driving
steed, Or Mrs. Farmer may be all
set to put in garden. And then it
rains : .. well, there'll be another
day, Might as well get the mend-
ing out of the . way—or go to that
meeting 1 thought i would have
to miss.
One busy women 1 know has
to wont lists most of the time—
one is headed "Things 1 Must Do"
—the other "Things I Would Like
to Do", This woman always plans
her work, day by day, but when
weather or circumstances upset
her plans regarding things that
must be done, then she seizes the
opportunity for one of the more
enjoyable but less urgent jobs
from the second list.
As to that, last Thursday there
must have been a great many
omen who were falling back on
second choice jobs on account of
the cool weather. One of the W.I,
brat -whoa to this district chartered
a bus and the members went on
a sight-seeing, tact -finding trip,
which included making a round
of a large stone quarry, where
several power shovels were in
operation, e visit to f'lamilton'8
famous Rode Garden, also to Dun -
dun) Castle and Museum, once
the home of Sir Allan Menial); to
conducted torn' of the Sovereign
Potteries, and a look-see at the
Mills Library at McMaster Uni-
versity. Since the bus was not
quite full a friend and 1 were in-
vited to go on the trip, My day
was already planned but my plans
had been frustrated due to very
necessary but undelivered mer-
chandise, That trip was second
choice but I probably derived
more lasting satisfaction from it
than I would have done from the
work that had been my original
plan.
Friday and Saturday 1 was busy
—getting ready for a party of
five that we were expecting on
Sunday—only before the day was
out the five became seven. Part-
ner had the Veen nicely cut so
there was 00 "' 1 grass to walk
through. There is plenty of lawn
hut it is 110 trouble to cut, Why
should it be , , , Daughter and
her husband came along on
Mother's Day with a power fawn
mower for F'atherl And that was
the best mother's day gift that
anyone ever had.
Just a word about books , . , if
you enjoy good reading, do read
"The Sojourner" by Marjorie Kin-
nan Rawlings, author of The
Yearling. 1 have just finished it.
