There is something to be said for bad taste and ignorance. They, in their own peculiar fashion can save one a great deal of money. Enter a store and say to the sales-

lady. "I. should like to see the ugliest cup and saucer. tabla, chair. etc., that you have in this store." Somewhere they have hid- den it half ashamed beneath the counter. You ask her to bring it out. "'.iaven't you something

that ll in much more poor taste than that?" She may have it. Be sure to say. "that is completely hideous!" Then. ask the price, and you will find it is half the sum asked for the rest of their stock. But, you have a cup to drink from, or a.chair to sit on. o .

But you ask. "What if the saleslady says quite stoutly, .We have nothing that is ugly in this place'?" -- I doubt this as an ans- wer. as most are quite honest.

Have heard of one husband in Charlottetown who demands that his wife dress in is formal dinner- gown and serve dinner at eight at least one night a week. He says that he has not seen too many movies. but that his attractive wife should wctir the lzoivns be has paid for and not leave them hanging in he-.r c.los.et.

Talking of clothes closets, now in November, in a very good time to clear your dresses out. check them carefully for length. fit and whether or not they will combine easily into your winter wardrobe. Get your pre-Christmas dry clean- ing. mending and repair work done now as the holiday season is less

than a month away. Be bravc. If you think you've really got your money from a piece of clothing. look in your newspaper to see if you might send it to a rummage sale. Or better still take the whole lot to a second-hand clothes shop. Sell them. And when you say "I have absolutely nothing lo wear. you'll be telling the truth and paving the tray to some new and u-p-to-dnlc fashions. There is not an other dare I would rather take. 0 U C

In these days. when the newborn child may expect to live almost the three score years and ten. it is only natural that young and middle- aged men and women should be looking ahead and wondering what old age has in store for them.

The first thought with most of us is that we and our family will not be in want. Fortunately (some might say unfortunately). the governments of all countries have in mind the care of elderly men and women and instead of herdinz them in state or provincial homes, to try to give them a monthly al- lowance which enables them. in many cases. to continue to live with their children without feeling that they are a burden.

Fortunately, also. many of our industrial organizations are pa)!- fng is reasonable pension after on employee has reached the we of 65 to 70 and has been with the company for a certain number of years. This feeling that they are entitled to a pension or annuity. especially if every man or woman. lrrespectiye of his or her means or present income, is forced to accept the monthly pension. will remove anv feeling of receiving charity.

While financial security stands first in reassure-nce for old age. there are other problems. such as emotional security. to be consider- ed. In Medical Clinics of North America, Drs. David A. Boyd and Francis J. Braceland. Mayo clinic. discuss the care. physical. menial and emotional, that the general ttactitloner must give elderlv pat- ients. They point out that when a ncrson reaches the retirement age. he is considered old even if he is many years younger. phvslcally. mentally and emotionally. Whether he likes the idea or riot. he must immediately ”lmow" he is old and is not much use to his family and industry. This is a severe blow to manv active and useful members of the community.

What can be done by the family physician for these elderlY folk? hrs. Boyd and Bracela-nd outline the aitltiide toward old age of the family. industry. and society. and StlEUe'll. that the family physician. lrnowing these attitudes and also the makeup. habits and back- ground of his elderly patients. treat the ailments of the elderlv with these attitudes in mind. He will approach treatment with sym- pathy and raise the morale of his patient by assuring him of many usrful years still available for him if he looks about him and finds work he likes and can do.

lal Contacts may assist on desired adveniiires. However. tread gently with the latter. as an elderly female may be offlcious and cause trouble. in which case 1159 SUMEEY rather than flying off the handle. Keep affable. composed.

The mellow year is hastening to its close:

The little birds have almost sung their last,

Their amall notes twitter in the dreary blast-

That shrill-piped hanbinger early snows:

Oft with the morn. hoar crystal quaintly glanced.

And makes a little summer where it grows;

In the chill sunbeam of the faint brie-f day

The dusky waters shudder as they shine; leaves obstruct the straggling way Of cozy brooks. which no deep banks define. And the gaunt woods. in ragged scant array. Wrap their old limbs with sombre ivy-twine. -Hartley Coleridge. U I 0

when the ground is frozen is the time to mulch the garden for winter protection as the frost must be kept in the ground to prevent the freezing and thawing: this is very harmful to all plants freezing and thawing and heaving out of the ground soon finishes the plant.

In this garden thcreds perfect drainage and in an ordinary win- ter there are not any losses. but if fhzrc is too sudden a change of temperature a few spruce yboughs thrown over the borders will pro- tect them. There is as much dan- ger from smothering the plants as from the cold and in some cases a great deal more. My experience has to do with the hardy plants like Foxglove with the large fleshy leaves and other plants of a similar nature. When you cover these plants with a material that is heavy and matted, you are sure to kill them. Air must get to them and they will stand zero weather very well without any covering. , y
