..A COUNTRY GARDEN

OCTOBER"

Each autumn when I walk abroad My heart o'er flows with thanks to God

Who made the earth so fair. And gave me eyes that I might see The lovely hues of bush and tree And beauty everywhere.

The cloudless arch of sapphire sky Spreads like. a canopy on hkh Above the smoked-wreathed hills, And in the valley cool and deep Through misty meadows wind and

creep Sleepy fern-bordered rills.

No garden ends: the last flower to bloom in the fall is linked so surely to April's pro- mise.

Even more surely we bridge the seasons by bringing color indoors. October rooms are gay with scarlet leaves and gayer still with dahllas and chrysanthemums and the last of the esters. Every bowl and vase has been filled with lovely flowers all this month. Indeed. some large baskets have been filled when cold nights came and frost threatened.

The dahlias have never been so lovely for such a long season of flowering and huge bouquets have been gathered. especially when the evenings were cool and might be frozen before morning but they still give us color and beauty. It is a wonderful fhne to experiment with flower arrangements when- ever time permits. So many of the summer flowers are still bloom- ing Fragrant phlox is in a vase near my desk. roses and stocks, spicy pinks and nasturt- iums. even a few sprays of the fragrant honcvsuckle vine.

WTH BIRTHDAY

You say your life has been extra- ordinarily free of unhappy situat- ions; that you have no personal unhappiness from which you might be trying to escape into a mental fog. Perhaps this means you are a solitary person. without close ties. therefore without relationship trials--and losing tone as a persons ality, for very lack of humanizing experiences, so to speak-

Another point: You impute your Ialtcring self-confidence to a slow- ini:-down process. But I think that's getting the cart before the horse-- and that your deeply shaken self- confidence is really a fruit of fear of-aging. You are nervously weigh- ing yourself against the upcoming competition of younger people, be- cause you've begun to feel you haven't got what it takes to suc- rccd significantly, before you die: as already you fcel "past the mine" --judging by the calendar and your record so far.

Fredicis 1' New iHair Silhouette For Winter Styles

LONDON (Reuters)-"Short hair with the long hair silhouette" is the keynote of ivintcr styles now being launched by Riche, one of London's leading hairdressers.

Riche. who claims to have fore- cast 8 correctly six years ago women's return to short hair. now predicts "an immediate return to long hair-in fact. 36 inches long. This he readily admits only one woman in 10.000 can grow natur- ally.

Riciic has set out to show ”lht other 9,999 women" how to achieve the same effects and keep their short hair.

sca es at 100 pounds above normal must be assailed with doubts about ,the possibility of ever being able -to lose all that fat. Doubt no more. Take heart from this solid report from a determined reducer in Flor- ida who quietly went ahead and ut3C'0I'l'lpllSIlEd the ' possible.

"This may surprise you. I am a man going on 60, and through your column, I've lost 100 pounds to date. I expect to lose 25 more. I've been fat for over 30 years. A year and a half ago, I weighed 297 pounds. Today I weigh 197... feel fine, look younger. and I don't even have wrinkles except on my abdomen. Waistline reduced from 52" to 37". i certainly thank you."

After reading that letter. I reach- ed for the telephone. I wanted to talk to this remarkable man and get the rest 0 fthe story.

"Are you the gentleman who re- duced l00 pounds?" I asked. intro- ducing myself.

"That's right," he affirmed. "On- ly I've now lost a total of 107 pounds."

Loses Without Dieting BI Ida Jun lab Any overweight who tips the your dietitian ne feels better than

he has in many years. This is his atory...ln 1943 he had a heart attack. The doctor advised

him t ostop work, take no exer- cise, and reduce. At that time be weighed 225 pounds. So he retired. But being bored and inactive, his weight gradually mounted to 291 pounds. and he was actually im- mobilized by the fat.

A Florida doctor advised him to reduce and to get a move on. ex- plaining that the heart is a muscle and needs some exercise. Thus en- couraged, our overweight took act- ion.

To my question as to what he missed most while dieting. he gave me this surprising answer. "I did- n't diet. I do not like women's food, such as lettuce and tea. I just cut down on my proportions

and trimmed off all fats." He went on to say that he practised getting up from the table while ne was still a little hungry.
