Ellen's Diary

By an lat-and Farmer's Wife

A: Mr. C. from the houu on the hill, had feared laat night when he and, James had discussed its ap- proach, it proved to be a fair Can- dlemaa Day that this morning broke ln a flame of color at sunrise over the rim of the world. "It's n fine day, Ellen," James greeted me quiet- ly. throwing back the bed-covers and preparing to rise. "The Sims coming." “Dear me," I commented. suspecting his thoughts from his tone of voice“ and added qllh-‘kly- "just wait awhile, it may be over- cast yet. I've often seen the sun rise beautifully. and we'd be certain it was going to be a lovely day. flflfl then all of a sudden every sign 0f it would be hidden beneath gray clouds. Yes, I've often and often seen it so!"

That certainly ls one of the duties that fell to woman-kind. from 4h? very time the earth was pcolllell with a "twain." I suspect. the bol- stering of masculine faiths, the eas- ing of trying situations. the encour- aging of manly hearts. 'l‘h0ugh James will have it that sometimes in my zeal to be helpful to him.‘ in this way, I over-do this feminine role.

O O I

On a recent evening. when he and Mr. C. had been chatting io- gether, and I joining in had made an over-optimistic remark about the times or the weather or it. may have been the prices of fnrm stuff. James laughed lndulgently and said: “You know, I sometimes think that Ellen is like one of her sex I Award about in the long ago". Bud lhe went on to spin his yarn. In his words "this girl was getting to an ago whore she despaired of marrying, and asking advice had been told that If she coulll dissolve marbles in her mouth. she would soon realize her ambition." (James really has a mistaken idea about this being the eternal feminine aim. but he has enjoyed the nolion so long, that it is a waste of words to try to change it!) "Well she tried it. and when they asked her what progress she was making. she smil- ed hopefully and replied eagerly: ‘I‘m sure that they're softening!"

o e

There was little sign indeed of today becoming over-shadowed by sullen clouds so promising was the sunrise. 1t set delicate iracerles of frost on the window-panes nflamc. kindling them into jewelled lights. and soon a golden stream of it, that was really good to sec, flood- ed the countryside.

lobby-Sorter Gives Wise Advice On Winning And Holding Boys

DEAR MISS DIX: When I was 15 years old, I used to have a lot of trouble with my boy friends. They were always getting peeved about something and breaking away and it was hard to get hlm back. But now Iam a year older und I have thought out a system that works and I give it to other girls free. It is this:

Keep yourself neat and attractive and always act as if you are having a wonderful time, no matter whether you are or not. Go out with other boys and have fun. Your heart won't be in it at the beginning, but gradu- ally you really wlLl begin to enjoy yourself. Above all, ignore the boy. Don't speak to hlm. Don't even let him see you looking at hlm. If he thinks you don't utorry about him. he will come back to see why you don't.

‘Don't try to find out whom he has been stepping If you try this plan for one month, I am sure you will get I did. Vilhon he is back, don't throw up other girls to him. Keep him guessing.

GOOD LUCK

out with. him back. Don't let him know you are jealous.

a

ANSWER: Out of the mouths of babes and suckllngs prorecdeth wisdom. and without doubt the advice of this 16-year-old bobby-soxer on how to win and hold u boy's affections should be of lnesiimable value to her sex and age. For they are at the time of life when the one thing ‘that girls think about and dream about and worry about is boys, and when not to have a steudy is a tragedy. It practically is a disgrace.

I POOR TECHNIQUE

And what adds to the difficulty of the situation is that the young- sters of either sex do not understand the technique of handling each other. and so they fight and quarrel and break up and have temporary heavtbrcaks that hurt just as ' dly as if they were the real thing.

So it will be easily perceived whut u blessing it is lhut a prophetess has arisen among the adolescents who cun tell her younger sisters-say the l4-year-oldersv how to keep their dates from straying off after fresh charmers. In the main, the advice of the seeress is good, but some of it ls a trifle strenuous. llow. for instance, can a couple of klda who have quarrelcd kiss and make up if they never get vicar enough together to even speak?

DEAR MISS DIX: I am going with a boy who has a finc character. but who has two faults that bore me very much. He continually puts off doing the things that should be done until I literally worry him into doing them. Same way with his clothes. The season ends while he is still going to buy n new suit. Then I just can't get hlm interested ln even reading the newspapers. He ulivays tells me he only has time to rcud the funnies. He knows nothing about anything that is happen- ing in the world.

\\'hat can I do to change him?

DIXIE BELLE

ANSWER: There is nothing you can do to change that flabby sort of a man Into a go-getter. A man has to be born with a backbone to have one. It is nothing that n woman can wish on him, yet millions of silly women try it and end up by supporting a good-for-nothing hus- band.

l\‘l_v earnest advice to you is to puss up your procrastinating boy friend. instead of trying to galvanize hlm into action. You will save yourself u lot of trouble if you do. Also. it will prevent you from being bored to death by a husband who doesn't even rend the newspapers.

DEAR MISS DIX: I live with my mother and uunt and they are lmnkiug u very serious problem for mc. I have a little girl a year and la hulf old whom they have spoiled until she is perfectly rotten. When lSIIC is cross she throws herself on the floor and kicks and cries until tsho gets what she wants. If I tell her lo do anything she doesn't want ,io do. she rcfuscs. And if I slap her if she has been bad, she slaps lback and calls me names io my face.

l When I try to break hcr off these bud habits. my mother anti aunt. take licr part and soy it is because she feels bud. and I can do nothing with Iver. I don't wuut the child to be ruined, but what can I do about if?

. MR5. E. S.

ANSWER: The only thing you can do is to lake the child away from your foolish mother and aunt. It is the only hope for the salvation of your little girl. Bubyhoorl uutl childhood are really‘ the crucial time in the life of every human being. hecausc that is when characlrrs are formed and habits sci and the individual’: entire future life is tie-term‘- incd. The weaklings, the dcrclicis. the selfish. the lazy and trifling were all spoiled children.

JACK DALE AND THE BIRD CHOIR

On the afternoon of July 1. 1805. Colonel Joseph Fredrick Wallet Desbarres, accompanied by his friend Jack Dale, the "Merry Whist- ler." arrived in Charlottetown.

A great crowd of joyful people had gathered in the streets to wel- come the colonel, who was sent here to take the place of Lieuten- unt-Governor Fanning. Immediately upon their arrlvul the two men were escorted to the home of Funnlng, where the in- coming governor was met by the Colonial Council, which rcatl the commission and appointment, wil~ uesscd the customary oaths and dc- llvcred the seals into the hands of Lieutenant-Governor Desbarres. The following week Jack Dale was guest of honor at a gain picnic held in beautiful and historic Vic- toria Park. After having been clincd and wlned and the usuc. speeches gotten off their chests, the new governor demanded that his friend. the Merry Whistler, enter- tain them.

Jack Dale separated himself from the others and. ‘walking across the grassy enclosure. came to a stop beneath a grove n! towering blrches and maples. Then he bowed to the distinguished guests. looked straight up toward the deep-blue canopy of heaven, and began lo whistle.

Instantly his audicnce came to attention and thrilled at the high. rich. lyrical notes that fell from the lips of this slender. shy person. There was a magic in the air such as none of those present. with the exception of Desbarres, evcr before had heard. The vvhole park echoed and reechoed to the seemingly lit")- venly music. the music which fell from the lips of the Merry Whist- ler.

O O I i

As the entertainer continued. the listeners were amazed to hear the surrounding forest stidricnly burst into song. There were the goidcn voice of the robin: the silver-tou- gued goldfinch: the soft. rich mel- ody of the bluebird: the b£‘\\'il(‘|llfl;_' voice of the nightingale. Thbtié birds. along with many other spe- cies. literally filletl the woods sur- rounding the park with u mclotly flint brought n feeling of ecstasy to the hearts of both bird and man. For the space of moments ihr-rc would be silence. 'l'hcu the whistler would begin again while ihc birri choir blended with thr- mr-lorly of the new governor's frierul in a glorious and ne-vr-r-lo-bc-fnrgottcu woodland recital. The vcry earth seemed to burst into song. while

from the breeze-tossed trcrs rmrl the harbor (‘time an accompani- ment of magic melody. The slim

figure standing bcticath the rlustcr of birch and maples sccmcrl in h» transflgtired. The listeners were eu~ raniured.

When the applause died douu. Jack Dale's lips pursccl for a mu- ment and then blew out one single enchanting note that simply drove the feathered miustrels crnzv with sheer joy. A great fluttering of wings could be heard. and a mo- ment later thousands of birds lcft the trees and LIOSCPIIIIOII to wlicre Jack Dale stood. ‘They surrounded hlm. settled upon his shoulders anrl circled his head, as though he were the very god of melody.

The Merry Whistler! face was wet with tears whcu he waved lilo feathered choir aside and walked over to rejoin his friends.

Not long after that memorable event in the park. a party fountl the dead body of the whistling genius quite near the Brighton shore. lie had suffered u heart ni- tack and had passed tiway before medical aid could be summoned. Although the sun shone brightly and the day was pleasantly warm. not a single bird could be heard singing among the leafy bowers. And save for the sound of the whis- pering leaves, the forest about the park was wrapped in a silence as deep as the grave.

Well, nobody knew; but sen-n.- folk ventured the opinion that the feathered choir were silently mourning the death of the Merry Whistler. '
