A CONFUSED GIRL
"Dear Anne Hirst: I am a very
confused girl just past my 16th
birthday. The boys I go with
seem to like me, but they want
to disregard my standards of a
lady, my ideals and true convic-
tions for happy companionship.

Two British soldiers, on holi-
day in Sweden, went into a
church to join in the service. Not
understanding Swedish, they took
their cues from the man sitting
in front of them. They did pre-
cisely what he did.
At one point, the minister made
a special announcement and the
man arose. The Britons also
quickly jumped to their feet, and
a ripple of laughter spread
through the congregation. The
three men were the only ones
standing.
After the service, the soldiers
made their way to the minister
and asked why the people had
laughed. `Because," he said in
uncertain English, "I announced
a baptiser and asked the ;ether
to stand up."

At six o'clock in the evening
this is what happens at our
house. I generally have sapper
ready and waiting. The kitchen
door opens and through it, in
this order, come the following:
Honey, our blonde cocker span-
iel. Partner, with the day's sup-
ply of eggs. Mitchie-White,
house -cat, tail in the air. Black
Joe, barnyard cat — except at
meal -times, tail drooping. And
bringing up the rear in an or-
derly, leisurely fashion, Tippy,
our ten -year-old collie. Honey
tears around from cat -dish t0
dog -dish hoping to find a crumb
of something somewhere, or
perhaps a wee drop of mills in
one of the cats' dishes. Finding
there isn't she sits as close to
the stove as she can get, her
nose almost touching it. Tippy
flops down under the kitchen
table. Mitchie-White and Black
Joe are soon engaged in a
wrestling match. Partner looks
at me with a grin and says —
"Well, I guess we are all here
— is supper ready?"
During supper peace reigns
supreme. But after supper
Partner goes out to milk. I start
to clear the table — fall over
one cat while the other walks
around my feet. Honey rushes
anxiously back and forth. Tippy
comes under the table and the
wag of her bushy tail creates
as much draught as an electric
fan I open the kitchen door.
Honey goes out to the woodshed,
bringing back her tin supper -
dish in her mouth. She drops
that, goes back again and this
time returns with Tippy's dish.
I mix up the dogs' feed and take
it out to the woodshed. For the
cats there is bread and milk
and scraps, in a big flat soup
plate so that both may eat at
once. Now, at last, there is peace
in the family. Perhaps for half -
an hour or so I might even get
a little typing done. Unless the
telephone rings a few tunes or
some of our family drops in for
as late meal, But I don't think
that will happen tonight,
Bob and Joy phoned in great
glee this morning --- their first
call after having a telephone
installed, "So now," said Joy,
"we are in contact with the
outside world." I think I must
give them an egg -1 *. -rr to worn
them when their three minutes
is up. For that three minutes
goes faster than any three min-
utes I ever knew. Faster than
three minutes by the egg timer.
That I know because I checked
my egg -timer by our electric
clock,

tle while out of a 24-hour day.

war two Airforce oMcers were
returning to their base after a
raid over Germany. One meter
was dead. The other had been
hit and gave out just as they
crossed the coast. Another three
minutes flying time would have
saved their lives. Saturday
night there was a hockey game
between the Leafs and Boston.
Three minutes left for the Leafs
to even the score, But three
minutes wasn't long enough.
Last Tuesday I was in Toronto,
Just before train -tune I was
talking to Dee from Art's office
on Wellington Street. "What
time did you say your train was
dile out?" Art interrupted.
"Five -forty," "You'll never make
it— it is 5.30 now." "011 no," I
argued, "your clock is three
minutes fast." I made it — with
two minutes to spare. If the
lights had been against me it
might have b=•0r. a different
story.
Speaking of "a different story"
— here is one. I discovered I
have something in common with.
Ernest Hemingway. We have
both been presumed dead! Only
with this difference. Hemingway
was presumed dead by the
whole world, I by only one per-
son. It happened this way. Two
weeks ago I had.0008510n to call
on a lady whom I had met
quite frequently at W.I. affairs
some years ago. I noticed she
seemed a little strange. Last
week I had to see hes' again.
This is what she said to me,
'You must have thought I was
rather queer last week when
you called,but really your com-
ing was quite a shock. You see I
thought you had passed away a
few years ago. I think I still
have the clipping I cut out of
the paper!" Just another case
of mistaken identity, of course.
One thing I must say. It was
really very nice to find the lady
quite pleased that I am still very
much alive.
And now ;just a word to my
correspondents. There was quite
a demand for try transfer pat-
terns so that it kept me busy to
spread there around. However,
'I hope everyone felt the returns
were worth the effort in sending
for them. Now may I say "thank
you" for the many "thank you''
letters to me that are coming
in as a result. It was nice to
hear from so many readers and
I do appreciate your kind re-
marks about this column, Again
I say, "thanks a lot."
