r H , l ..L.. Morning Smile i so Long

while attending a night club with a favourite escort, a girl wont to the cloakroom to repair her face and met several frlcnds she hadn't seen for a long time. They started gossiping and time went on . and on.

Presently an attendant handed her a note. It was from the ob- vlously weary escort. and read: "Can't iiiiderstniid why you ban-c:i't written."

A man took his schoolgirl daugh- ter to a play in London. It was a very modern play. and the father blushed and squlrmed in his seat. "I'm sorry. Betty. that I brought you here," he said. "This is hardly a play for a. girl of your age.”

"Oh. that's all right. Daddy." the girl said brightly. "It'll probably

Q. I have heard it is good form always to leave a little food on the plate. rather than to "polish" it off. is this correct 7

A. No: one should always try to eat all the food that has been taken on the plate. And he can do this without. "polishing" or scrap- ing his plate, which is just as bad form as leaving food on the plate.

ANTABUSE AND ALCOHOL!-B31 The

one of the reasons Alcoholla Anonymous are so luecldul in restoring alcoholics to normal is because the alcoholic hinnelf wants to be cured. Furthermore he has reached the point where he realizes that. despite his wish to be cured of alcoholism. he needs help aside from his own efforts. When he joins the ranks of Alco- hollcs Anoynmous. every member of which is an alcoholic. he gets the exact help that he needs be- cause all the members know ex- actly the battle he is fighting. By praying for help for one day at a time and being helped immediate- ly if he does fall or break over be gets his chance to correct his mistake within a short time.

! have written about antabuse a number of times and it has a splendid record of achievement, but in this treatment as with Al- coholics Anonymous. the alcoholic must want to be cured. The very fact that he is willing to take antabusc, knowing full well to cost in suffering if he indulged

'in alcohol, shows that he means ; business.

However. most physic- ians using the nntabuse treat- ment with thslr alcoholic patients try to have these patients enter hospital so that, should a reaction take place. the patient can be pro- perly treated. ,

In the Quarterly Journal Studies of Alcohol. New Haven. hrs. B. H. Gottsfeld, L. M. Lasser. E. J. Con- way and N. M. Mann give a pre- liminary report on the treatment of alcoholism with antabuse. The re- port is based on experience with 4? patients. In eight of these cases. mental disturbances occurred which, however. responded prompt- ly io wit'-idrawal of aniabuse and the use of quieting drugs. The pro- jective "hostile" person. who feels threatened by help and who has difficulty in forming personal re- lationships with others. is usually not a desirable patient for treat- ment with antabusc. A history of mental or emotional disturbances. borderline cares of double person- ality. should be watched for after the .p.-iticn-t has been discharged from hospital. In five cf the eight. "indications of mounting unrest" were noted.

These research workers in stud- ies of alcohol state that the num- ber or percentage of cases treated successfully" with antabuse is high- est when nntabuse treatment is employed with persons selected on the basis of their mental and emo- tional suitability. "Ability to res- pond to psychiatric treatment makes response to antabuse likely."

Q. Should a young person of- fer a hand when being introduced to an elderly woman?

A. Not unless the elderly woman offers her hand first.

Q. At what age may a girl be a junior bridesmaid?

A. Girls between the ages of 10 and 14. who are too young to be bridesmaids and too old to be flower girls. are often chosen as

Junior bridesmaids.

Purple Crocus and white with orange centres are blooming in a sunny corner but the Snowdrops are still under a snowbank by the cedar tree. On the sunny bank fragrant Arabia is showing creamy buds and Daffodils are full of buds: but the field mice have de- stroyed some Tulips and eaten tender perennials, and shrubs have been chewed and robbed of their bark. Other gardens are the same and it is discouraging to have hedges and plants spoiled in this way.

The deep snows of the Winter have made this possible, and we may not have this condition again for some time.

Grass seed has been sown in the new garden and some plants have been transplanted. It is a good time to move perennials and shrubs.

New Tuberous Begonias have been started. the Multiflora and Pendula varieties are the loveliest of these bulbs in the small sizes, and some new bulbs that are rela- tives of the African Violet, they need similar culture. and lli'C named Achimenes.

And so yesterday while some farniwives opened their two:-kndsy week by attending to the a.!fn.l.n of washing - doubtless remembering to return thanks to Heaven for the abundance of hot water on tap and the magic of the powered mlchine to make play of this once arduous chore; and others returned to their suspended house-cleaning with re- newed energy, we rested all such work to entertain a welcome and unexpected guest, much enjoying the pleasant excursion away from

Another new bulb to me is the. fragrant "Sea Daffodil" of Pei'u.' Large trumpet-shaped flowers. beautifully fringed and highly per-i fumed. they are easily grown as a pot plant or in the garden. and they have become very popular.

It is fun to grow a few new bulbs and plants each season, and sometimes a flower is found that is just the one for some particular part of the garden.

One of the oldest flowers. the Geranium, but. more correctly known as Pelai-gonium. is coming back again for use in gardens, and well they might, because they are sturdy growers and free producers of bloom. Pots of the white-flouw ering and colored-foliage kinds are finding places on sunny terraces, and along the edges of steps in small gardens where color is needed and garden space is limit- ed. Many new slips have been added to the collection here and the Lady Washington and frag-

For Tomorrow

THE general trend of business affairs has been under excellent stimuli for growth and pension. There are good prospects for the launching of new projects. with initiative and fresh ideas under highly aoc ' u-ted speeds for or- ganization, with new ventures into speculative fields. commercial and financial. Literary and publishing efforts may be sure of reaching proper channels for promotion. Purely personal or domestic inter- ests may not prove so harmonious or productive. Health may give concern. needing particular Atten- tion ngalnst colds.

for the Birthday

Those whose birthday it is may have an active and entenprislng year. in which new ventures may

lmportsmt mu. nlntlon needful. particularly in making new contracts or nrrangunents as to detail, method. systun. Partner- ships may call for particular scru- tiny. Thls precaution likewise sp- plies to closer ties of romantic. domestic or artistic association. Be diplomatic in all relotlonmlps or contacts.

A child born on this day may be lpsrlticularly alert. versatile, enter- prising and capable. Its social. domestic and romantic life will be pleasant and congenial.

We may expect a neo-Elizabeth

nn period in fashion, now that . pretty young queen has begun her reign in England. New York de- signers almost unanimously rush- ed for their Tudor and Elizabeth- an costume books loon after it became known that King George VI had passed away. leaving his daughter as heir. The first Queen Elizabeth was painted many times as a young girl and her portraits provide a wealth of fascinating inspiration to designers. Curloully enough. the costume of that time (1560- 1575) is exactly in the mood of clothes today - tapered boned bodices. fancy sleeves, full skirts with side fullnen and richly pat- terned fabrics.
