Winter is the time for reading of gardens in other countries and Il Iii.-ciy new garden book has been received. It is all about a beautiful ca.-den ill Italy which has been uinde in a Scotsman by the name at Neil McEat-liarn.

The gardens of Villa Tarento. on

the Paliaiizn promontory which hits out into Lake Maggiore in iinrtiici-ii Italy. are among the

most l'Cillc'l.lx'ill)le in the world.

They are the crcation of Captain .Vf'il Mclaacharn, a Scotsman who, having made one famous garden in Wigtownshire at. Galloway House. t)01lgllL the Villa Taranto on sud- den impulse in 1930 and began to create another which is now known to gardeners and botanists the world over.

The gardens which cover about a hunrlied acres. have the advan- lagn of a mild but not too hot or (lfld climate. It is therefore pod- :ible to cultivate an immense rimge of plants outdoors. from quite tender shrubs such as gur- denias to the hardlest of heathers or rhododendrons. As the gardens are laid out in the grand manner. they are at all times of the year of great beauty, and attract. thous- ands of visitors. amongst whom the Italians are the fortunate prospec- MVP heirs. for Captain McEwchdrn has presented the gardens to the ltalian Government which will in due time form them into I Na- tional Botanic Garden.

This book tells the story of the making at the gardens. the strug- flip to preserve them during the Second World War, and their re- storation during the not icss diffi- cult days of peace. All the import- ant features and many of the plantings are described in the text and illustrated in the many half- tono plates. Bntanists will, be par- ticularly interested in the long list of plants of special interest which grow at the Villa. Tttrnnto and uhirli shows the extraordinary range anti variety of plants that Captain Mclzacharn has assembled on a site which once had little to

MARil'gHAAWf)fiTi'VSKivldll: Finds School-Age Son

Having Affair With His Steady Girlfriend

DEAR MARY ll 'OR'I'H: Just recently I came across A note that rm-eals. beyond iv doubt, that my lizzh sclinnl-age .-on and his girl. 17, are liar-mg an affair .I had read the. whole riotc before I roa- liu-d who had written it. to whom. It was the most. candid I have ever seen; I burned it.

After that l deliberately looked for notes twrnngly, I l(l'lOWl and ha got one ('l1ll). All were the

same; now I don't look any more. 1 km so afraid for the girl I can hardly sic-en. Yet she seems to be more in favor ofsthe affair than my son - and just living to, get out of school and get mnrried..Bhe has to slip around and lie about mrmt, everything.

Her parents are college gradu- ates. nice people. very strict with her and critical of my son's male

friends. Add is smart. 3 good leader in school affairs and is faithful church worker. I believe

my son loves her in his way. and mice. told me he was going to give her an engagement ring when she graduates.

How Tscffully Lecture Girl?

Weive always told our son to treat his girl friend as he would R sister. but I don't think hetd have strength to resist her at- titude. Morals have -certainly changed. I was taught that A boy couldn't respect it girl who would stoop to that; also. that a. male will promise anything. even mar- riue. until he succeeds: and al- wsys thinks the worst. of the girl who yields.

lhow but woods.

The book is beautifully illustrat- ed with over fifty bonutiful photo- graphs of the garden showing the heather. snd formal gardens. the hog and winter gardens. the wood- land garden. rose garden and lotus pool. and many wonderful shrubs in flower. The gardens lie on the northern slope of Lago Mnggiore at an altitude of one thousand feet. High mountains rise abruptly from the platenu on the eastern, north- ern and western slides, while to the south beyond the lake stretch the fertile fields of Lombardy where vast quantities of rice and mslze are grown.

The situation (if the villa is ex- tremely plctureoque. and the moun- tiiin scenery gives endless variety to the landscape; as one walks in the gardens fresh vim: no can- tinually revealed as the roads and paths twist and turn. v

on the east side of the villa strbtches a. large open lawn with n lformai pool and fountain in the centre. On the south side there ,are more lawns and several fine fold trees under which there are groups of tree ferns which were 'shipped from Australia.

At the far side of the main lawn a few steps lead to b stone bridge. which spans the valley. Beyond :the bridge is ll. curving pergoln ;three hundred feet in length. sup- ported by granite pillars covered lwith roses. wistaria. clematis and 'other climbers. Near the pergola ls lthe bathing pool. which is flanked on either side by ponds of water lliiies. From the bathing pool a liserles of stone steps leads upwards to three terraces: the first terrace planted with rosea.the second with annuals and the third with is col- lection of cistus. These terraces are divided down the centre: with long cascades of fresh water which flow into the bathing pool. It must be wonderful to see these lovely gar- dens. but the next. best is to read- itbout them.

Pernicious Anemia is Slow In Developing

Liver probably will nuke you "longer liver" if you've got pernic- ious anemls. e

I suppose I should not. be nuk- lng pum about Any disease. espe- cially one sounding as sinister u pemiclous anemia. But. because of liver and other trestments, this dis- ease no longer holds the drend it did so many yeuirs ngo. victims now can usually look forward to long, Active, useful lives.

Lifelong Treatment

You're going to have to hke trentmenta, though. for the not of your life.

In pernicious snemln. there ll no obvious loss of blood. However. both the number of red cella, snd the coloring matter in the blood. decrease grestly. The red cell oount might drop from n. normal of five million per cubic millimeter of blood to one million or even lower.

While Cells Fl"

The number of white cells may also full. and the bite of tissue in your blood called plnteleta. which help clot the blood. might decruu in number. too.

You are most likely to develop pernicious anemia if you are be- tween 40 and 70. Men and women are affected About equally.

Slow Development

This disease developg slowly. A: it develops.you will ususlly f week, have hendlchea and be lhor of breath. Your heart will best more rapidly than usual. and your ankles . might become swollen. Your tongue will become very red. smooth and extremely sore. You may also notice s tingling sensation in your hands

(1 feet.

Later. you probably will lose your appetite. begin to vomit and be bothered by diarrhea. You might lose a great deal of weight. and your skin might become a lemon- yellow color.

In about eight out of ten cases. there are some changes in the ner- vous sys m. In severe cases. you may he e trouble Vwalking. You'll notice that your legs are weak and stiff. sometimes there is even 1 mental disturbance.

Upon carefully examining your blood. your doctor can make In ac- curate diagnosis, His aim is to re- store the red cell co to normal. and to stop any dis bimces in your nervous system.

Liver Injections

An soon up your disease is diag- nosed as pernicious anemia, injec- tion of liver extract should be be- gun. Recently. vitamin 3., which is present in liver in minute amounts, has been found to be as effective as liver extrnct.

You may have to take these in- jectlons every other day at first. or. if the preparation is a. powerful one. maybe only once I week. Within eight to ten weeks. both your hemoglobin and red cell count probably will have reached ncrnul.

Cutting Down

By this time. I imagine your, doc- for will cut your injectiom down to one every two weeks; then. after I while. you may need only one 1 month.

You should have I blood count each month for the first three months. then one count every three months. And you'll have to continue with these injections and blood counts for the rest of your life. If you stop. you'll probably be right. back where you started.

Keep A Child's Washable And

By ELEANOR R055

The best advice on decorating children's rooms inevitably comes from folks who have become ex- perte by learning the hard way - by experimenting on their own youngsters.

All very nice. those ravishing col- or schemes and cute decorations! But the fact is that the most im- portant elements to consider when tackling a child's room. are a washable floor and plenty nf floor space. '

Provide Play spun

If you are planning such :1 room. Ind really want your youngster to enjoy his domain and stay in it. think about those two features be- fore you ever start considering col- ors. fabrics and paints. A cluttered room with no place to spread out is even less inviting to a child than it lsi-to adults. And play space-which
