I your unconscious image at the husband-to-be-the man somehow indicated (says your unconscious) to take care of you.

Rather he is (or seems) filmy. ambitious. etc. -though Perhaps dependable in his way. TIIIIS You've never felt close to hlrn. and it follows that you've been conditioned by the father- daugbter relationship -- llwuys the format. for good or ill, of a girl's mating bias - to keep your distance from the male. Psycbologically, that is. by be- ing self-contained. As the twig is bent. so the tree inclines: and your disposition is biased towards reserve. very likely - at least on the surface. Which keeps you a stranger to hearty love for a suitor.

Of a stolen spring. -Slade.

Twigs and branches of the Fora were cut this week and placed in deep water for early blossoming. Every year these lovely golden yellow flowers hang from the branches of these bare twigs after a few weeks in the warmth of the house. .

The ornamental Crabs and Cherries can also be forced to this way. making the springtime seem nearer.

On a warm day last week when the snow had disappeared from a sunny corner of the rock- garden in the shelter of the ever- green hedge I picked three pan- sies. One in yellow and another In purple and blue. with a yel- low face. They are now in a glass cup on the dining room table w are they are admired for more than the long-stemmed beauties of the summer garden. :

For a numbe of years now. pansies have been picked every month of the year in sunny spots wheneve the snow melts from the sheltered spots in the garden here. This is not the case in other p of the garden where the ground is like iron and the way I wish it to be with a cover- mg of snow and no freezing and thawing because many times plants cannot endure the con- tinual thawing and heaving.

If plants are found heaved out of the ground. press in and cover with some mulch.

When wandering around the garden to see if all was well with the bulbs and then to the For- sythia shrub to cut the branches for forcing. I thought of all the lovely shrubs brought from many lands to our gardens . . .

so many of our loveliest shrubs and plants have been bought to us by travellers to these foreign lands. and China has a wealth of beautiful material suitable for our climate. I saw some wonderful African Violets last week . . On a wide window sill there were dozens growing and the foliage was per- fect. There were tiny ones and good-sized plants ready for bloom- g. A ' shaped violet was covered with large blue blos- soms. and there were several colors in the collection. These African Violets had all been grown from leaves placed In water. Many good gardeners grow many house-plants in this way but I have never been suc- cessful in' this culture. Geran- lums in water were ready for planting out in clay and again the foliage was very fresh and

Late February days: at last,

Might you have thought Winter's woe was past.

So fair the sky and so soft the ar.

It is possible to think that suin- mer is coming when a warns sunny corner is found. and a great English writer says . .

There is always in February some one day. at least. when one smells the yet distant. but sure- ly coming, summer.

Weather signs have always been interesting and in The Shepherd's Barometer we read. Certain Rules to Judge of the weather: grounded on fifty years experi- ence and observations by an an- cient shepherd on the south Downs. Sussex.

If the sun rises red and fiery. it certainly betokens mnrv nr less wind and rain. this obser- vation agrees with the ulu ..ii- glish rule:

If red the sun begins his race. Be sure that rain will fall apace. If cloudy at sun-rising. and it so decreases. it is a certain sign of fair weather: There is an old proverb to this purpose. which also deserves our notice: A red evening. and a grey morning. set the pilgrim a walking. Clouds. Little Clouds like a dapple grey, and at the same time a north-wind blows. denotes fair weather for a few days.

Lord Bacon says. he had always observed that if clouds appear white, and fly to the north west. we had generally several days of fine weather.

One of our English minor poets says land it generally holds good):

If woollen fleeces spread the heavenly way. Be sure. no rain disturbs the

I summer day.

And the old English proverb is often right:

In the decay of the moon. I A cloudy morning bodes a fair

afternoon. Large clouds. like rocks. de- note large showers: this is an

old observation. and generally

proves true: in one of our old

Calendars it is expressed thug

When clouds appear like rocks and towers.

The earth's refreshed by frequent showers.

But the quotations from other observers do not in the least diminish the credit of our shep- herd. who certalnly made his ob- servations from nature and ex- perience. and then comptrcd them with what others had writ- ten before him.

If the weather be hazy. and the wind falls away. and small clouds increase. depend on much rain and that soon.

If large clouds break away. de- crease ln bulk. and ascend higher in the atmosphere. it is a cer- tain slgn of fair. pleasant weather. The large black clouds in sum- mer evenings. which seemingly threaten much rain overnight. are frequently resolved into dews. and produce a very misty morn- ing. and a fine warm day. MISTS:-When they rise in low ground. and soon vanish. noth- ing is a surer sign of fair weath- er; when they are heavy. rise slowly. and keep visible on the hill-tops. they are soon condens- ed. and fall down in rain. which. seldom lasts long.

Traditional Pan

"On Shrove Tuesday. the day before Lent begins. pancakes are featured at the evening meal in many countries. They are consid- ered a real treat." the Chef began. adding:

"I would like to explain. Ma- dame. that these pancakes are not as thick as the breakfast pancakes of the United States. They are thin. dainty. and contain more egg yolks. Neither are they served with butter and syrup.

Fried in Butter

"inmead. they are lightly fried in butter. rolled up, and served with a jam or stewed topping. or the bot pancakes are oftenospread with lam. Jelly or a thick cooked fruit puree. then rolled up and served at once with a topping of soured cream."

"May I suggest, Chef," I said. "that these pancakes be cooked a little in advance. rolled. and kept warm in the oven. ready for the topping?"

Shrovc Tuesday Pancakes from a Mix: Follow recipe given on the package of your favorite pancake ready mix. but add 2 beaten egg yolks and Vs more milk than the recipe calls for. The batter should be the consistency of light cream.

CLOUDS:- In summer or au- tumn. when the wlnd has been in the south two or 'three days and the weather very hot, and the clouds rise one above an- other. with white tops. like bat- tlements of a tower, and joined together. and black on the hills, depend on E rider and rain very speedily.

strong north wind should rise, which generally clears the air. and carries off the rain; thesc

rains seldom happen above once a year. I

When it rains an hour or two be- fore sun-rising. it generally clearsl before noon. and continues so the whole day: but if the rain set in an hour or two after sun-rising. it generally rains all day. unless the rainbow appears before the rain begins. then it seldom lasts long.
