TREES IN WINTER
4
The lean trees bow Their barren heads and shud-
der; Each like a galleon, a stately
ship
That the wind’s hands tear cal- lously, to strip,
To twist the rudder
And ride upon the prow.
Shatter the deck with rain,
Crash onward waves, and care- less winds deride
This galleon is sounder
She will not flounder
But springwards drift, and then with pride
Holst her green sails again.
—Gibson.
There is a small wood near the garden and there is a large wood not far away where lovely ferns and moss grows in abundance. No matter how tired I am when 1 enter this wood to gather some of the ferns and moss I come out refreshed in mind and _ spirit.
At this season there are small ferns suitable for house decora- tion when placed in small bright colored dishes old willow ware, teapots or sugar bowls that have outlived their usefulness, anything lovely that you may have can be made more lovely with these small ferns gathered now for winter greenness.

For Tomorrow YOU should be able to achieve major goals this day if you are
willing to compromise on minor issues. In all negotiations, however, be certain of the motives of those with whom you are dealing. Des- pite rosy appearances, do not rely too much on Dp
Avoid questionable and do not participate in any ac- tivity that could your job or your prestige. For best re- sults, rely on your own good jutig- ment your ideas and ambi- tions to work and give your capa- bilities full scope — but go it alone.
Fot the Birthday
if tomorrow is your birthday, you will be pleased to learn that imaginative and creative ideas are under excellent aspect during the next six months so that it would be an excellent period in which to put into effect some of the un- usual programs you've had in mind but have postponed, possibly, through lack of confidence in them —or in yourself.
Important gains are promised if you will exercise initiative and courage. There should be career advancement as well as a good fin- ancial trend, stimulated by a busi- ness or personal alliance, and this good fortune should result in a new sense of security which will contri- bute greatly to your well-being. Travel and romance will be under excellent aspects during the late spring and early summer.-

Wife And Mother Has Habit Of Making Acid Remarks
DEAR MISS DIX: I seem to be one of those people who enjoy say- ing something mean or sarcastic. No matter how much I resolve to change my ways, I invariably pick on a person's faults rather than his good points to discuss. Even when my husband makes a pleasant re- mark to me, my response is disagreeable. I'm not much of a “mixer,” so I don’t belong to any clubs or societies. I have two children.
SARCASM IS RESENTED
ANSWER: It’s just as well you havent attempted to Join up with cold w
@ group; you wouldn’t last long with it. Strangers wouldn't have to put up with your sarcasm; your family has little choice.
In spite of your protests that you know you are mean an change, I doubt if you do. You belong to the misguided individuals who think sarcasm is synonymous with cleverness, that sneeringly pute ting someone “in his place” automatically lifts you to a spot of superiority. Well, it just isn’t so. Sarcasm, or the ability to make a quick and nasty “comeback,” does involve a certain amount of fast thinking, but not the kind of which one should be proud. If one has a good mind and a responsive tongue, they can be put to much better use than hurting other people's feelings. The best treatment for people like you is precisely what you give others. If your family and frfends would be as quick to hurt you as you are to hurt them, you'd soon realize the need for a change of disposition. 7
There’s no reason, except your own feeling of superiority, why you can't change. Just try biting your tongue occasionally when one of your brilliant remarks is ready to pop out. You'll soon overcome the fault—that is, if you really want to. Try to realize that wisecracks really aren't very wise!
DEAR MISS DIX: I was married at 17 and lived happily with my husband and our two children for over 20 years. Then my husband be- gan going with another woman. I accused him of it at the time, but he denied it. Now, several years later, he has told me of the affair, even to the girl's name. I know he's been faithful since, but brooding is making me ill. My heart 1s crushed, and I can’t eat or sleep.
MRS, Y. T.
ANSWER: You are being a very foolish woman to make yourself happy over something that happened so long ago. If you keep (ét up, your man will get so fed up with you that he'll begin looking for cheer- ful company outside, Have faith in God and be thankful for your many blessings. Look toward th

ELLEN’S DIARY 3
By Am Island Warmes’s Wile { —<
With the twilight of dawn still covering the silent farmlands, James easing a suspender to @ shoulder, at a window surveyed the dimness. “The day doesn’t seem too promising as yet, Ellen—well, not for what we had in mind for today, but you never can tell. It’s just as well to be up amd have the decks squared away.” ‘
So the day began nicely and presently settled into the usual orderly routine. It has been our good fortune through the years to see the Family work togeth in a companionable and effective unit, each one ready and eager to contribute with a good heart his share to our undertakings to the benefit of all. Nor can we reckon these results in currency but in the hours of happiness and content we spend on these farms.
Tt is a state of living we endeav- our to pass on to the children: “aw!” with an impatient gesture “do I have to do that! Did Daddy say?” a little fellow will ask.
“No, you don’t have to do It, but he knew you would want to help him by doing it. You see this farming is yours as well as his-- you and Jamie are partners with him and partners take on their share of the work” we explained.
“rm of the opinion that there's something nice missing from_ the make-up of a man who can’t keep his sons with him on the farm— or in other occupations,” an elder- ly farmwife and mother of farmers observed when we chatted of such things with her the other day.
“Then,” we laughed, “on the other hand if they do follow in his font- steps it is a mark of highest esteem ‘to him and for his calling?”
“ys,” she nodded, “I believe just that! Of course I could be wrong, but in many an instance I could speak of, that is the way it seemed to be.” She smiled, “they kept up this ‘father - business’ much too long.”
“Perhaps they didn’t make thelr sons partners soon enough—teach- ing them young the whys and wherefors of it” we suggested. “But in humans no fixed rule can apply, there are parents and parents,” we sald, “and there are sons and sons.”

We were interested in two wide- ly different parent-son points of view recently.

Q. How can I clean oll paint- ings?
A. Make a thin paste of raw potatoes and clear water. Add fine pumice stone and rub on the paint- ings gently with a sponge. ‘Then wipe off with clear water and 3 clean cloth. It is often advisable to apply a coat of clear varnish when the painting dries.
