Girl Musl- Face Facts. Break Engagement To Avoid Loveless Marriage

DEAR DOROTHY DIX: I am a girl 25 years old and have been en- gaged to a boy for a year. I love hlm dearly. We had our wedding day set and all arrangements made, when. two weeks before the day for the marriage, I caught him out with another girl. He said he wanted to date some other girls so he would be sure how he felt towards me. He claims he still loves me and he comes to see me three or four nights a week.

He means everything in the world to me and I have worried so much over the way he treats me that I have to take nerve medicine all the time and pills to put me to sleep at night. This has beep going on for a month and hc is still not sure how much he cares for me.

What shall I do?

BROKENHEARTED GIRL.

ANSWIQ: The only sensible thing you can do is

to break your engagement with your fiance, for it is perfectly obvious that he has fallen out of love with you and that he is trying to sneak out of marrying you. As an old friend of mine used to say, "you can't help where your love falls," and it 1s to the young man's credit that he is offering you the opportunity to ‘ break the engagement, instead of being put in the mortifying role of i »_ , i , being a jllted maiden. ., i 1 Your play is to take the initiative and beat him to it. You be the I» . first to change your mind, which is always woman's prerogative. Nail ‘ on your face the smile that won't come off, instead of doing the crybaby ‘ act. Thank God nobody knows how many tears we shed behind locked » doors.

PBYOHOTHEIAPY — TREAT- LIBNT OF ‘DEE MIND ‘I0 Ill- LIEVE PHYSICAL SYMPTOMS

It is told of a busy country phy- sician that he had l. wonderful record in the treatment of pneu- monia, seldom losing a patient. someone ‘was mean enough to sug- gest that he had gained his reputa- tion by calling every simple 001d pneumonia and. Is practically all patients with the connmon cold get better with or without treatment. he had no failures with his so-call- ed pneumonia. patients.

As We think of this country prac- titioner and the ltew method — psychotherapy - of treating the mind of the patient in addition to treating the body. it is more likely that had he told his patients with the common cold or slight bronchi- tis exactly what; disease was pres- ent, he would not have received the patients cooperation in his treat- ment of the case,

No patient is going to remain in bed with a simple cold. Accordingly he refuses to remain in bed, gets up and around, has a light rise in tem- perature, gets a draft. And e. cold that ivias only in the, nose and throat may go downward into the lungs and bronchopncumonia or pneumonia. develops.

By calling the illness pneumonia. the patient is willing to rfmain in bed which takes the work off the heart and blood vessels. He thus is in better shape to fight; pneumonia should it attack him In oher words. this country physician's handling of the case would now be called up- to-date psychotherapy.

As we think of present-day psy- chotherapy. We have in mind the great number of individuals who consult their physicians for physic- al ailments. the symptoms of which are real enough but which are caused by emotional disturbances.

In "Health." Canada's national health magazine. Dr. Lorna E. Carpenter reminds us of how the emotions produce actual symptoms. The physical act of blushing is re- action to embarrassment. Tremb- ling. palpitations, increased perﬁPif- ation are due to fear. Disgust leads to nausea. shuddering and goose flesh may be caused by horror. Also ill health and many phYBlCll symp- toms are caused by frustrations and disappointments,

Ellen '3 ' Diary ~' in,‘ an nuaa moan Wife

By mid-morning. we stopped our work and cerrie to sit rather list- lessly in-the old rocklng- chair by the window to wonder if sometime in the earlier hours, perhaps in the close gray of this morning's dawn we had unwittingly walked under a ladder during our choring, so con- trary and delaying our circum- stances had become. Not that. as we analyzed it, the situation which had arisen was due to any careless stewardship either in or out of doors but that it was doubtless "Just one of those days" we decid- ed accepting it with a feeble smile. Even Mr. D., our carpenter, able to maintain his innate calm of spirit on every occasion. queried with a touch of humor this evening when taking stock of his day: "Now let me_see—where did I begin this morning? Oh yes, I was shellacking Jamie's new cupboard/ and then I was to go to Rob's." His work too was suspended as he took on new interests brought to him by the subsequent unfolding hours. And yet day's close has brought order to our confusion, and balm to our concerns.

O I O

Looking back over the hours, now that night has dropped inky cur- tains about the countryside, and has retained the North wind to blow coldly about the house. James laughs to Mr. D.. come to spend a last evening for the present with: "And, Ellen would have to be ip the middle of a churning or a washing-I never saw her any bet- ter. when a worrisome incident arose!" "And wasn't that all to the good?" Mr. D. replies, “besides everything else working out well. she has her churning done for the week!" It must have been a busy. gremlin indeed who jinxed our morning. and called Mr. D. away from his decorating in the house across the lane to assist the far- mers, beset suddenly with one care after another. First a piglet, in- lured in a night accident required a bandage to close a gaping wound, and from that time. their concerns have been continuous, the most dis- tressing occurring when grand- daughter came indoors while I was Batherlng the new-churned .butter, to comment: "Those ducks must be busy laying Easter eggs-they've hided them away somewheres!"

I I O

Then there came an ominous sound in the pipes of the kitchen stove and soon angry billows of dense smoke were being spewed from the chimney into the becloud- ed morning—and the family for- gathered in haste to find out the cause. The pipes glowed and al- though we agreed: "It's a good morning for it since it's calm and damp". all work was suspended for the time of the burning. It is no wonder that Mr. D. was puzzled over his original intention of morn- in: because tasks not then remote- ly considered came to his hand. James decided "we may as well clean that flue once she cools," with Mr. D. a. principal sweep at house- tcp. and then mortar was added~to several suspected " spots along the surface of thechimney. in the attic and above before wp again could‘ pick up the threads of our living with contented minds.

O O O

And into the mildnen and calm of morning, bringing proof of Mr. D.'s comment that yesterday was a "pet day", presently crept the chill of a bitter wind from the fields to the North so that by late after- noon, grand-daughter was well con- tent to remain indoors at less en-

Explain while you do this that you're merely ex- hibitlng the conventional method. Now blow out the flame end strike another match. The smoke from the extinguished candle will rise upward, and if you hold the ignited stick in this smoke a couple of in- ches above the wick, ms ﬂame win travel down the smoke and relight the candle.

Now is the time to give ski boots and other winter sports footwear a thorough checking over before ltor. ing against next season. All leath- er footwear with the exception of suede snow boots. (these to be brushed to remove all dust). should be cleaned with mild soap ends and placed on ventilated _shoe trees away from direct or artificial heat to dry. If shoe trees are not avail- able, stuff with crumpled news. papers. This helps to retain the shape. and also absorbs the mois- ture from the inside of the boot. Heels, counters and toes should be straightened. Before storing for the summer. all needed repairs should be attended to. rips mended,
