Zurich Herald, 1954-05-13, Page 6"Dear Anne Hirst: When my
dance came home from the sec-
ond
eaand world war, he was like a
nnan I never knew. Oh, he had
all the charm there was — but
he chose a gambling career in-
stead of a job; I couldn't "take
it, so I married someone else.
My husband is wonderfully gen-
erous, and I am sure he loves
me deeply—
"But I still date the other man.
He swears if I will get free he
will make me happy, and I find
I am as much in love as ever.
I'm afraid to chance giving up
all I have, though. Suppose he
shouldn't keep his word?
"If I could stop seeing him
long enough, perhaps I'd be able
to make up my mind, Maybe I
love my husband more than I
think. What is your opinion? (I
confess I am ashamed to sign
this Ietter.)
CROSSROADS"
FALSE VALUES
Would you stay with your
'' husband if he lost his wealth?
* I doubt it. Though he sup -
* lies all the luxuries to which
• he has accustomed you: (and
* loves you besides) you cannot
* even be loyal. If it were love.
* you feel for your earlier
* sweetheart, you would not
* weigh the loss of material com-
a forts; but all you can feel now
's Is how dismal life would be
' without them.
You are all confused with
* false values, aren't you? Or
* have you become one of those
* women to whom money is
* paramount?
* If you are seriously consid-
* ering the other man as a hus-
* band, remember the adage:
* Once a gambler, always a gain-
* bier. It is seldom that a man
* with such a vice gives it up.
* entirely; to indulge it he will
* sacrifice personal integrity,
* reputation, wife and children.
* He will promise everything,
• and at the moment mean it.
* But can he keep his word?
* From my observation, you
* would have to put this marl to
* the test for a year, to prove
* that he can and will settle
* down — and even that is tak-
* ing a long chance. If you mar-
ried hien and he failed, your
* "love" would turn to disgust
* with him and with yourself
* I simply do not believe you
* could take it.
* If I seem harsh, it is because
* I feel there is no kinder way
• to persuade you to face facts.
* Why don't you try being a
* good wife for a change? Once
* you stop seeing this man, you
" might even come to love your
* husband. Many a woman fails
* in love through gratitude for
a a husband's generosity and in-
* dulgence; since these are so
* essential to your contentment,
* you may, too.

TOO YOUNG TO KNOW
"Dear Anne Hirst: I am 15,
and going with a boy my mother
does not like, because his family
are looked down on by our
neighbors and my kinfolk. Some:
of his relatives are in the `pen,'
and there are drunks in his fam-
ily. In other words, they are
trash.
"This boy is not like them:
He is 17 and doesn't drink or use
bad language; he is one of the
sweetest boys I kri,aw.
"My mother found out I'd
been slipping around and seeing
him for two months. She was as
sweet and understanding as she
could be, but she just said it
wouldn't work, She's afraid he
willpick up hs family's habits,
and I'd be dragged down by
dating him. Do you think she
right? I still love him, and can,;
think of nothing else.
* Nothing but time can piov
* how this boy will conduct hiniee
* self as he grows older. He may
* be so disgusted with his fain-
. ' ily's conduct that he will never
* succumb to such temptations.
* We can always hope for this—
* But meanwhile, I agree with
* your mother that you are too
* young to date him. Girls of
" 15 are impressionable and ins-
* pulsive, and your sympathy
* and affection for him blind
" you to the danger your repu-
* tation may suffer, If that
* should happen, it could take a
" long. long while to live it
* down, Your mother has been
* more than fair.
* For your part, now, promise
* you will net see him again
* until she gives her consent.
" You must know other nice
o boys who are approved by
* yotir family so, 'meantime, dare
* them.
* ft is dreadful how chifthen
* must suffer for their family's
* sins.

In Toronto the subway is in op-
eration and most people in town
and country alike are really
thrilled over it. I am looking
forward to my next trip to To-
ronto --it will be like going home
and riding in the London Tubes
again. But oh dear, is it ever
possible to satisfy the public?
Already some folk are wanting
the subway stations heated. Im-
agine! And here and there some -
'body slips. on the stairs or nearly

hangover from the shoving and
pushing of -the street -car days on

p .crowding and pushing each
around. Or will they .

One envelope it had been cut
away and on the other the label
had been torn off, "All right,
Mr. X.—you win!" MISTER Xt
Yes, we have guessed that much
because a woman would have
used tissue paper for protective
padding! And since the contain-
er was a tobacco -tin we also
gather you smoke a pipe, Mr. X.
Partner said, "Now why didn't
he leave the tobacco in — that

He would think of that. Anyway,

and won't Dee and Art get a kick
out of it.
One other item . in the news
last week, affecting us all, but
none of us favourably, was the
one -cent increase in postal rates.
It is a.greater inconvenience for
country folk than for those in
the city—for this reason, A letter
with a four -cent stamp comes
along—instead of delivering it
the' mailman leaves a printed
card in your box stating that a
letter with insufficient postage
is at the post office. So you not
only have to pay the surcharge
of two cents but you must also
snake a trip to the post office or
leave two cents for the mailman
next morning. In any case it is
ata inconvenience and holds up
