Seven Days A Week

by Anne Shannon

LMONDAY: Our thoughts turn gardenwards more and more of- ten these days. There are so many new and interesting plants to read about these days. don't you think? Do you know that the word "etiquette" is of horticultur- al origin? Many years ago in the City of Versailles in the palace of the king they hired a Scotch gar- rlener to plan and lay out the beds for flowers. Now this old Scotch gardener was a fussy fellow and he disliked having anyone tread on or mess up his beautiful work. Of course the king had hany visitors and the coiirirers who wandered about the gardens quite regularly trumped where they shouldn't have tramped! So the gardener put up "signs" telling them boldly where they could iialk and where they could not walk. The king, who loved his ga--dens also appreciated the wisdom and work of his gar- dener. So he gave orders that all vi'e're to obey tne gardeners labels. The courtiers were told to keep within the "etiqueiics". The word and incident gained prominence and publicity and is now applied to moral and social customs. Very few people vrourd ever dream that this fancy word had such a hum- ble beginiiing.

And Speailiig about gaining aeedlingsl round that if you take an ordinary egg fille:'_ put loam or good clay in me hollows iwhcre you usually put eggs as the man- ufacturer intended!v_It. makes an

round break the sections apart and pop them, as rs, into the ground. The roots :iren't disturbed and the paper soon becomes a part of the soil. A friend of mine uses eggs shells—saves the halves fills them with clay and plants the seed in them. When the plants are ready to set out it is an easy mat-

ter to break off the egg shell, leaving a small compact globe of clay.

I. TUESDAY: Here are some household hints gleaned from near and far. No. I. When baking bis- ouits, leave the oven door slight- ly open to let the steam escape. Your biscuits will be crispisr and llakier. I found this out more by good luck then good management and then not so long ago I saw this hint in tlie cookery section of an American Magazine. No. 2. Make your head sc:-rf water re- pellant by placing oiled or waxed paper over it and pressing with a very hot iron. No. 3. When snip- ping buttons off a dress or coat, slide s comb underneath the birt- ton to avoid riicking the fabric. No. 4. mend tears in lace or net curtains with colorless nail pol- ish. Press frayed edges together, until the polish dries. No. 5. Have you a. lot of old lipstrcks lying around? Don‘t throw them out-— melt them together. stir thorough- ly and pour the liquid into a lip- stick tube. You'll have ii brand new lipstick maybe a brand new color too!

.1. WEDNESDAY: How often you have heard the expression "I'm dead tired on my I4.-et." Dr. John E. Eichenland of Ackley, Iowa, says "Many people would be sav- ad from developing varicose veins if they would follow a few simple rules when they feel “tired on their feet.’ -Varii-osc veins can be re- lieved by minor surgery in nine cases out or :en and simple ex- ercise may prevent them altogeth- er. Surgery consist of tying off the surface vein system of the leg where it enters the bigger veins and then injecting a. series of chemicals into the branches “to prevent varicose veins," this doc- tor goes on to say in his recent report in an A.M.A. publication, I lei! exercise used by the Army in World war if is recommended Many soldiers were taught. to take all their shoes and socks in the middle of a long hike, lie on their sacks wr‘h feet high above them. and jiggle the feel. rapidly with muscles relaxed.

A wind that had trafficked with icebergs, a. coldly indifferent breeze. bit the fingers of the housewives as they spread this morning's wash. "It's cold!" a ragamuffin sparrow complained from a lilac bush close by. i-lis plumage was plumped to keep him warm but withai there was no blitheness to be seen in his face.

"You'd expect by this the weath- er would be turning warmer, would- tit you‘!"he grumbled.

"k'erhaps were expecting too much; we can't have summer in mid-spring, now can we? And be- sides, l‘€nlell'l|JE|".’ We've had some beautiful days."

“That's what makes a wind like this seem to be more searching." he replied. “You see were getting so acrustomed to having things our own way and everything right at hand (Why, we can't even walk as far as lane's end for the mail! its too far or it takes too much time . . . and our forbears had to walk miles to get theirs! we imagine we should be able to get just the kind of weather we choose. Fine." we giggled, "when we want to wear our new suit, shovvery if we have stunning rain-gear to dis- play!" He grinned impllshly.

"There's some truth in that" he nodded.

"This frost o‘ night's. Ellen." James said riding up now on his way to old haunts about fields and barns at Alderlea. "It's going to come pretty hard on the hay- lands, I'm thinking. It just may be that the farmers won't be leav- ing frne fields unnroiveti this sum- rrer. I've seen some fairly slim yields some years . . yes, fairly slirn yields. Well," he smiled, tight- ening the rein. "we'll have to take what comes of weather, won't we?

I reckon it will have to improve shortly." . . .

The wind blew coldly but the buds on the swaying twigs of lilac were now the green of the grass on the lawn. And the sun threw his brilliance along the hillsides. hurrying the red-brown of the fur- rowed fields toward the required state for cultivation.

"What's that noise?" our spar. row-friend questioned, his ear alert- ed. We spread a checked table cloth, pinning it with care to hold it in place: an everyday towel and another, worn and not so while as once: young underwear (How tall Jamie growsll.

He bent lower on his perch to obtain a better view of the road- way. "Why, it's the road mach- ine!" he exclainied. "I didn't think it was the sound of a plane or a tractor I was hearing." l-fe laugh- ed. “There are so many curious noises nowadays! Would James’ mount be afraid of you?" he nodded.

"Guess the whole world is pretty well afraid of the I-I-bomb." he commented soberly. "It's possi- bilities are appalling, aren't they? And there's nothing—no defence can be of any use against it, it's so all-powerful. It‘: too bad and it's too sad even to thin about . . . and this such a love- ly old world."

DEAR MISS DIX: After a llr\()- year engagement, I am marrying Jerry in August. My parents can't give me a very expensive wedding. but they do want everything to be as nice as poxsible. We'll be mar- ried in church at 10 o'clock in the morning. rind I‘ll hrrve.a while gown, veil, bridcsiuaids, etc. Now to the dilemma. We could have a small reception for the immedi- ate family only, or a larger one for some 75 people. In the latter case there will. of necessity. be friends who cant be invited. How can we avoid having their feelings hurt’!
