Mid-Morning Coffee

If you're lucky enough to have a next door neighbor who shares coffee at ten with you after the breakfast dishes are on the shelf the beds made. and the children have had the first layer of dirt washed off for the morning. you might ask her for me. if you would. to tell of her worst baking failure. Perhaps your neighbor won': tell; but if she does. or if you'll admit to having one of these your- self, write me a note as I really need it to dispel an inferiority com- plex. I'm sure all of us would treasure .a list of baking failures be-

But summer is not the time of letter writing. This month and August belong to the cottage vil- lages which dot the harbour and the coast line of both sides of the lsland. The verandah and ter- race of Dalvay House is a lazy place for lucky people. and vice versa. The white rambling Stan- hope Beach Inn is ideal for'con- versation and morning coffee. while the sun strikes the dullt; just over to the right Of U18! long line of surf.

EMOTIONAL DISTIJILBANCES INCREASE WORK OF THE HEART I have written several times of low Nature comes to our help in emergeilcles. enabling us to put up a. stronger fight by increasing the amount of blood pumped at each beat and also increasing the num- her of beats of the heart per min-

ute.

These emergencies that cause us to call on Nature for help may not be due to any real organic trouble but can be caused by the emotions.

In The Journal of Clinical In- vestigation, Drs. fan P. Steven- son. Charles H. Duncan and Har- old G. Wolff (Cornell University) tell of their study of heart rate. blood pressure and output of blood by the heart, before and after a standard exercise test. in persons with and without structural heart disease who had varied emotional disturbances.

In patients who were only slight- ly disturbed emotionally. average heart outputs were greater before and after exercise than in those who apparently were undisturbed. This difference iincrease) was largely due to increase in the power or stroke volume with each beat of the heart. In patients with striking anxiety symptoms. the betlrt outputs were greater before and after exercise than in those who were slightly disturbed emo- tionally. The difference was large- ly due to greater increases in the heart rate.

Despite the increased output. there was shortness of breath, pai- pitation and weakness in the emo- tionally disturbed.

In 10 patients with structural lteart disease-leaking valves. weak muscular walls of heart-the same relationship was found between emotional .disturbances and signs of weakening of muscular strength of heart. that is, shortness of breath. palpitation and fatigue. The symptoms were the same as those of a failing heart but these symptoms often disappeared when the snxiety disturbance had din- nppesred .slthough the structural defects in the heart were still pres- Int.

What we do we learn from the

kn ' " that emotional dis- turbances can cause symptoms when exercise is taken. whether

the heart is perfectly round or the heart has defects in its structure? Both conditions-henlthy or a de- fective heart-are less able to withstand exercise when an emo- tional disturbance is present. In seven patients alterations in ability to withstand exercise (ex- oroine tolerance) were observed in loss than an hour. In the early uuu of heart niobiliutlon (in- crease in heart ntroko. increase in heart rate Ind increase in blood reuure) this mobilization is main- y achieved by incruscs in the strength of the heart stroke: in advanced stages. the increase is due to increase in heart rate.

"Great fellows" James said this evening. talking over the events of our day. What 3. time he would have with these, were they our.-i He would be all for clearing another piece of land. or buying more acres to settle them on farms of their own. He would be already planning to give them "that heifer" and "3 young sow - of our own breed", should they be interested in farming. He would be regarding the ways of the weather on the pond mornings of these years when they should be kept to school to comment wist- fully. "Don't you think. Ellen, it would be better for them to stay home today than to be caught out in rain? You know it's not good for children to sit all day with clamp shoulders!" And giving in not altogether gracefully. we should catch sight of the three presently caught up to a man in some pro- loci. of farming and all as happy as granddaughters cat and her kit- lens when they lie in the sun.

Widqw's Dilemma

Choice Of Beaux Complicate: This Young Moi'lier's Life

DEAR MISS DIX: I find myself in s most unhappy situation and I am asking you for counsel. I am a yoilng widow with a child. and I have managed to make myself fairly secure in the business world. I had been keeping company with a man who has also been fairly successful financially. We both appreciate the nicer things in life, such as entertainment, clothes. hobbies, etc. Our families are

not the type that would get along together and we are of different religious beliefs.

My friend does not dislike my child. but has never shown signs of affection towards her. He assures me that the differences in religion and family background are of no consequence in our case and that he loves me for myself alone. I be- lieved I loved him. but hesitated over marriage. afraid it might not. be a success We quarrelcd over my indecision and parted.

Since then. I have met another man who has asked me to marry him. He is charming to my .. . , baby. our families get along well together and he is more settled in his ways. I think he would be a fine foster fatli or to my child. In the past two months I have occasionally met my former boy friend and he has called me. asking me to forget oui' quar- rel and go back together again. I believe I still love him, but am assailed with doubts as to whether or not I should accept the man who likes my child and seems a better matrimonial prospect, or go back to the one I love.

,w-:

L. P.

.ANSWER: .With so many doubts in the atmosphere, I don”t think either suitor is the man for you. I could certainly never ad- vise you, or anyone else. to marry a man you don't love-which would seem to eliminate suitor No. 2.

CONSIDER YOISR CHILD

And for any young mother with a child to contemplate marriage to a man who is not whole-heartedly fond of her baby is to lay the groundwork for a miserable future. This point alone would make me very wary of suitor No. 1, and in conjunction with all the other vital matters on which you don't agree makes him indeed a poor prospect as a husband for you. At this point. either marriage would be dis- astrous, and you'd be better off continuing as you are. making your own way, supporting your child and being answerable to no one. Your love for the first young man doesn't. seem too strong; per- haps if you stopped seeing him and had him discontinue his phone calls. you might develop a stronger attachment to your second beau. Don't rush into either marriage and perhaps time will resolve the question for you.

DEAR DOROT Y DIX: What can a wife do with it husband who swears and t rows things and breaks up the furniture if any- thing goes wrong in the home or he has had is bad day at the factory? For twelve years I have been trying to solve the riddle I am mar- ried lo and find out what makes him act the way he does; whether he doesn't like me. or doesn't like marriage. or what's the matter. When we are at home alone at night he never speaks to me. When his friends come to dinner he spends the evening making fun of me. deriding my figure. my walk and how much money I spend. It is hard to keep the tears back and put on a front. and I feel I can- not do it much longer. I would rather go and make my own living than to stand what I do.

ANNE

ANSWER: Many husbands use their wives as escape valves for all the bottled-up temper and nerves and irritability that they dart: not show the outside world. Many a man takes his revenge at the way the world treats him by mistreating his wife, and many a man inflates his own ego by deriding and ridiculing his wife before people and showing how superior he is to her. So because your husband treats you the way he does is no sign that he regrets being married to you or wants to get rid of you. Probably, on the contrary. he finds you necessary to his comfort and happiness. because you not only make him a comfortable home. but you afford him an outlet for his spleen.

But perhaps your husband would find more interest in a wife who would fight back instead of taking his iii treatment. You might try it and see.

DEAR MISS DIX: I have known this boy for four years and in that time he has shown signs of being in love with me. However. I do not return that love. At present he is in the service and on his last leave we had a misunderstanding. I am wondering whether I should write first or wait for him to take the first step. CHARLOTTE

ANSWER: Since you say he has shown "signs of being in love". you do have some doubt about it. If his feeling for you is friendly. it would be a nice gesture on your part to write a note and try to clear up the misunderstanding. Let it be clear. though, that you want to be friends with him and nothing else. If. however. you reiillv feel that he is in love with you. it would he kinder to let the matter drop, rather than incite hope that you may return his love.
