And today. in a grand gesture which at least emptied the stall: at Bob's new stable, every calf was he to pasture. Nothing remains more ,not. even a swallow. only the kibcats play about the door and foregather with high expecta- tions, and in no small body, after the cows have marched in sedate- iy to the milking. t

The swallows? The last of Alig- ust gathers them up and takes them off to some far Capistrano of sunshine ind warmth. As they congregate s numb of high wires about to discuss, we fancy. the preparations for the prospective journey, are we not always a little sad?

"The place is so quiet now with- out the swallows." we said, we su- spect o s moumiul note today when we chatted with s'vlsiting farmwlfe.

KEEP IN 1'RlM'

The pinch test which is used as a gauge of overweight is right handy for determining whether or not there is too much fat padding the mldriff.

The test is to take a deep pinch

at the side of the torso. Pick up ,the roll of fat betwixt thumb and forefinger. If the span between thumb and finger is more than one inch across, that's more or less solid evidence of excess fat pad-

ding.

The pinch test can also be ap- plied to the waistline. Take a deep pinch at both sides of the natural waistline. picking up the fat between thumb and forefinger If you can pick up more than half an inch at each side of the waist - that's a. sign of too much fat padding the middle measure- ment.

DOROTHY DIX

Date - Mixing

DEAR MISS DIX: My boy friend. Neal, is in service and comes to see me when he's home on leave. Last time, however. he went to his folks" summer home at a lake where my aunt also has a cottage. He asked me to go, but as my family had already made plans for me I had to refuse.

My Cousin wrote that Neal was having a very good time going out with another girl. This happened before. When I wrote him about it, saying I wasn't mad, he an- swered that he wouldn't have asked anyone else if he knew I-liked him. Should I say anything to him about this episode. forget it. or break off with him? Otherwise, he's very polite to my family and consider- ate oi me and I love him.

13. R. ACT UNCONCERNED

ANSWER: Your boy'frlend sounds like a very nice boy. I'm. sure he dated the other girl only because he wanted to attend the dances and parties of a summer resort and you weren't there. It's good for young people to mix occasionally. and if Neal's attachment to you is genuine an outside date won't change him. To keep quiet about the episode would only put 3. bar- rier between you. Ask if he had a nice time at the lake, tell him you know he went out with some- one else. His assurance that the other miss wasn't nearly as cute as you will be all the comfort you'll need.

DEAR. MISS DIX: Recently you expressed disapproval oi the old world wedding custom of having guests line up and deposit their gifts in a satin bag. I disagree, since I think money is a very ap- propriate wedding gift. It's much better for the bride and groom to

A COUNTRY GARDEN

Slowly, silently. now the moon Walks the night in her silver shoon: this way, and that, she peers, and

sees Silver fruit upon sliver trees: A harvest mouse goes hurrying by, with silver claws and silver eye; And moveless fish in the water gleam. By silver reeds in a silver stream --Walter de la Mare.

The harvest is being gathered in. of fruit and flowers and all the other wonderful products of the country places. September is a lovely month in the garden! It is in the knowledge that autumn has come that lends endearment to that loveliness while we have it, a harvest of beauty that nature is pouring all about us. In truth, we can enjoy now as at no other time the precious things of the earth and the fullness thereof.

Instinct teaches the dullest of us to love that which we must leave ere long.

"The setting sun and music at the cl

ose. As the last taste oi sweets, is sweet- est at the lost".

so let us spend every possible moment in the garden for the re- mainder oi the garden season. There are so many interesting things to do in making the garden lovelier for "next. year." Transplanting, oi perennials that have grown crowd- ed through the years and can now be divided. The most effective planning can be done this month because in looking at our gardens. it is now possible to see what should be done. In the garden here any

ing is moved if necasary at this time and new earth and humus added as most perennials need good rich soil.
