Zurich Herald, 1953-11-19, Page 6"Dear Anne Hirst: Since I was 16, three years ago, I've been going with my boy friend. Most mf that time he was in the Army;. I waited loyally for a while, then broke with him. But when he name home, he came straight to me . ,. We love each other, yet, we don't understand each other. What can we do? "I am a fun -loving girl, and he's the quiet type. He dislikes too much talking, or dancing — everything I seem to love most. My family don't like him too well (because of his quietness) but hi's people like me a lot. "I've tried very hard to adapt myself to his ways, yet I don't ever seem to suit him. I'm get- ting tired! I believe he has too much self -concern ... What can I do? I've never gone with any other boy, nor he with a girl. What is it I am doing that's wrong? LENA" * From all you tell me, I think * you are trying too hard to ad- * just yourself. You seem die- * metrically opposite in temper- * ament and tastes; all you have * between you is what you call * `love,' which could be just a * physical attraction, You are -* mature enough to know that * this is not enough for true " friendship, and utterly insuf- * hcient for a good marriage. opposites have married, and successfully, but they are old- * er and more understanding "' than you, and have found mar- " riage an exciting and satisfy- * ing experience perhaps because of their differences. Yet in * marriage there must be some * common grounds of mutual in- * terest and pleasures — else * whatever would you do with * your leisure? It is enjoying the * same avocations, and habits, * together, that can cement or * wreck a union. * You can find out just how * much to each other, what com- * mon basis you have for mar- * riage, by dating other friends. * See each othe less often than * you have, and go out with oth- * er boys . and girls you both * know. * Comparing your degree of * enjoyment with thein, you can o soon learn whether this bond * between you two gives any * promise of permanent happi- * ness. A deep understanding of * human nature is necessary to appreciate any one lad or girl, * and as you discover more or * less admirable and pleasing * qualities in other boys (and he other!

Goofy Weddings During the war there were re- ports that a certain Gunner Marks, attached to a searchlight battery, needed three separate ceremonies to ensure that he really had married his bride. To -clay there are, of course, the radio networks who give away the furnishings of a home as well as providing everything for the ceremony to lucky couples whose vows, are watched by millions of viewers. Unusual marriages aren't so unusual to -day when people have been married in submar- ines, on mountain peaks, and with handcuffs on in gaol. One man even married his house- keeper inside his first wife's tomb. Ten years ago weddings in the air were a novelty; to -day they • are commonplace. A few years ago, however, a couple tried to get married while jumping by parachute; the difficulty was to keep the bride and bridegroom close enough to the clergyman so that the responses could be heard. Despite the fact that a big reward was offered in the event of success, after many at- tempts, this form of ceremony had to be abandoned — reluct- antly. All sorts of accidents happen to delay and sometimes invalidate marriages. The story of the jus- tice of the peace who performed marriages before his appoint- ment was through officially has its counterpart in the clergyman who joined couples in matrimony before he was licensed. One couple became engaged in 1904, but owing to a series of deaths, war service, illness and other frustrations it was 1934 be- fore they eventually ended up at the altar. • Another pair who fell i.n love • in 1900 only became mar and wife in 1939. Apart from deaths in the family, war service, the bridegroom broke his leg and the next • year when he was well their home was burned to the ground. Among the unusual marriage ceremonies was that performed by a clergyman on an Easter Sunday on a Denver mountain top. Both bride and bridegr.•oont were unclothed — they were practising nudists. Those who are determined to marry will overcome almost any obstacle. Couples have been mar- ried by telephone without see-, ing each other at any time dur- ing the ceremony. One queer event was a mar- riage in which the bride. Nina Tarasava, a Russian dancer mar- ried an American. An inter- preter and dictionaries were em- ployed for the occasion. olOYor Cool Hat — Pretty Nancy Wood- ruff, models the "Frost Princess11.-1 hat made especially for her reign as "Miss Anti -Freeze."
