"Dear Anne Hirst: am engag-
ed to a man whim my family
has chosen, but for several years
I've been in love with another.
My fiance's family and mine are
very friendly and apparently
were planning our future. At
Christmas in their presence, he
gave me a beautiful diamond. I
• was speechless. I have not found
courage to oppose them all.
' "The other man (10 years old-
' er) I met in business, and 1 lov-
ed him from the first. Whenever
am with him I am thrilled from
head to toe, yet at peace and
content. He never spoke to ire in
terms of Jove, an when he learn-
ed of my engagement he wished
me happiness—and withdrew.
"I could not bear it. I tele-
phoned him, and we went for a
drive. He apologized for telling
me that he really loves me, and
had not realized what an inspir-
ation I was until he was shocked
by the news. He has become hag-
gard and Jn rose.
"My mind is in a whirl. I am
fond of my fiance, and hesitate
to hurt him and our families.
o you think I could learn to
love him?
"I am 22. The older man is a
professional man, better educat-
ed than my fiance (who Tacks
hition) and he has a larger
ncome. Yet I wonder whether
the difference in our education
and experience would prove a
barrier?
Puzzled Secretary."
s< Try to picture the older man
0 without a dollar to his name.
e Suppose his profession
a should fail him, his invest-
* ments wiped out, and as a re-
* sult he became bitter? Can you
see yourself sticking to him
through it all, comforting him,
e counting all else well lost just
to be by his side? If you can,
e then break your engagement—
A Unless the possibility of his
e altered situation alarms you,
* unless you admit that his
e wealth and worldly know-
* ledge are his real lure and that
e you don't really love him for
e himself alone. If this is true,
e put him out of your mind to-
'' day and forever.
'*' I 'lave never believed one
' consciously learns to love a
e man. Marriage with one you
e aren't in love with would
e prove, I'm afraid, a shock to
*your sensibilities—doubly so
0 since you love someone else.
e So I hope you will not at-
e tempt to go through with mar-
e riage to your present fiance
e unless you fall in love with
e him', which may happen once
e this other man is Out of your
* thoughts. Decide first what
• your true feelings are, and
o then your future will be clear.
e (If you break your engage-
s` nient, the young man will get
e over it. His family certainly do
* not want him to marry any
* girl who doesn',t love him. And
* your parents will wish, finally,
* for your personal happiness.)
WITH NO REGRETS
"Dear Anne Hirst: I am a girl
of 17. A few months ago I met
a young man who seemed to be
wonderful; but found out he
wasn't. ,
"He asked me for certain fav-
ors I could not grant. I had a
straightforward talk with him,
and he tells me that all girls
do such things nowadays.
"Was I right in refusing?
B.S."
* You were exactly right in
* refusing to lower your moral
* standards. A year or two from
* now, he will think so, too.
* For ages, men have been
* telling girls just what this bey
* told you. Some girls (like
* yourself) have sense enough to
* deny them what they ask
* and can still keep them as
* friends.
* I news not tell you that this
* boy has confused passion with
* love. You knew this, and act-
* ed accordingly. When the day
* comes that you • really fall in
* love, how happy you will be
* that you can come to your
* husband with no regrets!
* * *
Marriage without love is Fife
without savor. Better to end an
unwelcome engagement than to
run the risk. If yo- are con-
fronted with such a problem (or
any other than confuses you) tell
Anna Hirst about it, and get her
unbiased opinion. Write her at

Hove Rainbows
Occur
A rainbow always appears in
the sky opposite the sun. The
person looking at the rainbow
has his back to the sun. The rain-
bow is due to the bending and
reflection of the sun's rays when
they are shining on raindrops in
the sky. The white light of the
sun is composed of all the colors
mixed together; but when this
white light passes through a
drop of rain, the rays composing
it are bent to different degrees,
and so forced apart. When they
reach the back of the raindrop,
these separated rays—violet, in-
digo, blue, green, yellow, orange,
red—are reflected back to the
eye. Upon leaving the drop, the
various colored rays are again
bent in such a way as to increase
the separation between them.
You sometimes see the same
colors when sun shines on the
spray from your garden hose and
for the same reason. The drop-
lets of water in the spray bend
the light rays unequally,

Harry Truman of Indepen-
dence; Missouri, is driving a new
Chrysler car between his home
and his Kansas City office,
where he spends a good deal of
time preparing the memoirs of
the nearly eight history-jam/lied
years he spent in the . White
House.
Drew Pearson, whom Mr.
Truman has at times called by
mettles not at all intended as
complimentary, tells the story
of hew the ex -president came to
have a Chrysler and Pearson says
the story was first told a group
of business men in California
by K. T. Keller, chairman of
the Chrysler Corporation.
It appears the manufacturer
thought it would be good ad-
vertising if Mr: Truman should
drive around in one of the more
attractive new Chrysler cars, so .
he telephoned the Independence •
citizen and suggested he should
have a car of this make. When
Mr. Truman admitted he had
been thinking the same way, Mr. •
Keller said he reminded the: ex-
president that the car would be
sent complimentary, and the
company -would be compensated
by the value of the publicity"'
Wendel,
Mr. Truman was quoted as
saying he wasn't concerned with.
any advertising involved, but
that he felt the office of Presi-
dent should not be exploited,
even by an ex President, "I'm
going to have a Chrysler all
right; but I'in going to pay for
it," Mr, Truman was quoted as
replying.
"Is there anyone here who
would have turned down a simi-
lar offer?" the automobile exe-
cutive was quoted as question
ing his hearers, most of whom
probably were more able than
Mr. Truman to afford the best
car of this make

man, who has just finished his

So handsome is the recumbent
marble statue of Italy's great sol-
dier hero, Guidarello Guidarelli,
at Ravenna, that the authorities
have had to protect it with barb-
ed wire netting from hysterical
women and girls.
The statue was made in 1525
and has always been admired, es-
pecially by women visitors to
Guidarel.li's tomb upon which it
lies.
But in recent months, for some
unexplained reason, women and
girls have been streaming . in '
greater numbers than ever, not
only to gaze at his finely -chiselled
features, but to kiss .them.
Day after dayofficials. had to
restrain the impetuous women --
many of them pretty and well-
dressed—from petting the statue.
Every day lipstick and face
powder was ' found on . Guidarel-
li's strong features and had .to be
cleaned off.
The authorities began to fear
the lovely marble would be dam-
aged, especially after one wom-
an had been caught trying to
write her initials. on the hero's
forehead = hence the barbed
wire.
An Italian; actress is so enam-
!lured of the statue that she fre-
quently. visits it, clad in the deep-
est mourning and remains, silent
and meditative, near the tomb
for many hours.

Lilac time . isn't it beauti-
ful? I wish it would last all
summer. There is only one thing
I have against lilac, the growth
is so hard to control — or per-
haps we haven't found the right
way to control it, Suckers seem
to grow and grow again as fast
as we dig them out. Lilacs are
lovely wherever they grow but
I think for variety and fine
bloom the campus at the On-
tario Agricultural College at
Guelph is hard to beat. I have
often wondered about the lilacs
at the. O.A.C. so I made a few
inquiries and this is what 1 was
told.
Many of the lilacs are of the
so-called French hybrids. Quite
a number of them were raised
by a well-known French nur-
seryman and hybridizer, M. Vic-
tor Lemoine so they naturally
came to be associated with his
country. Still other varieties
grown in Guelph were perfected
in England and Belgium and
some in the United States.
If you have ever visited
Guelph in lilac time you will
remember there are single lilacs,
double lilacs and lilacs of every
shade and hue, all the way from
white and pale mauve to deep
purple and red. Then whene the
early varieties have shed their
fargrance the late -blooming, or
Preston lilacs take over and pro-
long the season. These late -
bloomers are particularly 'inter-
esting to people from Halton
County because they were raised
by Miss Isabelle Preston of
Georgetown, during the years
when she was working at the
Horticultural Division ' at the
Ottawa Experimental Farm, All
the Preston varieties were raised
before 1925. If you are interest-
ed in named varieties and want
to have them pointed out to
you as for the Alice, Ursula, Isa-
belle,
sabella, Celia and Jessica 'Preston
lilacs.
All the lilacs at the O.A.0 are
of the bush or shrub species
with the exception of one — the
Japanese tree- lilac. As its name
implies it grows in the form of
a tree. It is the last of the lilacs
to come into bloom and has
large clusters of creamy -white
flowers. The bark .of the tree
closely resembles that of the
cherry. It is quite an interest-
ing specimen.
Well, there is certainly plenty
of room for lilacs to grow at the
O.A.C. as the campus alone -
including the buildings — takes
inan area of 125 acres. If you
want to go further afield and
take in all the farm properties
connected with the O.A.C., then
you have to cover an area of
over eleven hundred acres.
However, even though we
can't have all the lovely lilacs
that grow at the College we
shouldn't .let that worry us too
much because' even the common-
est lilac growing in a fence
corner sheds its fragrance for
all the world to enjoy. It also
has the advantage of being a
prolific bloomer. We can pick it
unstintingly, fill the house with
it, give quantities away and still
hardly miss what we have pick-
ed,
At the same time the lilacs
are in bloom we also have the
sweet -scented lilies -of -the -valley
that lend themselves so beau-
tifully for use in small vases on
the breakfast table.
How nicely Mother Nature
arl`anges things — giving us
spring flowers a n d fragrant
shrubs as we wait for summer
plants to grow and come into
bloom. Last week Partner dug
up a bit of garden at the back
of the house whre I like to grow
a few geraniums. In another
bed I set out some ferns that
Bob and Jay brought me frozn
a nearby bush. That was two
weeks ago and they are coming
along fine in my garden. Pansies
too. Driving along the road one
day I passed boxes and boxes
of pansies for sale. I couldn't re-
sist them. Pansies are so intrigu-
ing. You watch the buds unfold
and you wonder .. , will this one
be purple, or yellow, or reddish -
blue? It doesn't really matter —
they are all so lovely. And for
those who can't get out, there
is Bob Keith, C.B.C.'s radio gar-
dener, who almost brings you
flowers in the house with his
esay, ,informative talk on flow-
ers and plants, 1 always enjoy
listening to him. I wish I could
say the same of all radio pro-
grammes.
What makes Partner' and I
see red is the lack of respect
that is often shown towards
those who are interviewed over
the air, • especially on provately
owned stations. Young commen-
tators, who, a few years ago
were either in knee -pants or
bobby sox, addressing older and
better-known persons •by their
Christian names. The same prac-
tice is often followed' in news-
casts. We hear • the Minister of
Agriculture referred to as "Jim-
my" • Gardiner and Dr. H H.
Hannam as "Herb." If broad-
casters in their youthful ignor-
ance consider this to be "smart"
-surely the station or their spon-
sors ,could check up on them
once in awhile. A handle to a
name isn't • always - necessary
but Christian names • should
surely be taboo over the air ex-
cept by contemporary artists and
contributors. Remember how the
U.S. clamped down on the indis-
criminate use of "Mamie"?
Deaf insects
There are a. few insects that
can hear, but the greater num-
ber, including flies, can not hear
at all, Every imaginable kind of
sound has been tried, and insects,
with the exception of a very few
kinds, take no notice of the
sound whatever.
The highest string of a violin
has been scraped an inch away
from bees engaged in pillaging
flowers, and, the bees paid no at-
tention, Other senses of insects,
including flies, are so "wonderful,
and in some respects so superior
to our own, that it is immensely
interesting to find that nearly all,
including the highest insects,
such as bees, ants and wasps, are
deaf.
