A small greenhouse or heated sunroam is a. real joy to all who love flowers and as usual at this time of year mine is crowded with all the plants that are potted up out of the garden. Tuberous Be- gonias are still blooming alter six months of beautiful color; as they finish they are carried to the base- ment and left in the container if it is not needed for other flowers Boxes are filled wltli them and the soil allowed to stay on the roots until the stems are dried off and no water is given them.

Two lovely Chrysanthemums have been given to me by a good friend and a good gardener; tall yellow. and a beautiful white were dug out of her garden and now are potted up. fragrant and long- lasting.

Nasturtium were brought from the garden and a few niarlgolds also carnation: and southernwood lfor fragrance. A red rose is bloom- ing and the pclargonium must think it is spring. as it. is covered with bright floiveis.

Many bulbs were potted up for winter blooming. Violets with large creamy flowers and soft yellow centres and a pleasing lriigriince.

Homer sang the praises of the Daffodil in his Hymn to Demeter away back in the very dawn of history. "The Narcissus wondrous- ly glittering, a noble sight for all, whether immortal God, or mortal men; from whose root an hundred heads spring forth and at the fragrant odour thereof all the broad heaven above. and all the earth laughed. and the salt-wave of the Sea.”

None of our garden plants has enjoyed such constant favour as the Daffodil, because even in those old years it was greatly pmed as a decorative flower in connection with the ancient rites of death

and burial. In addition to the hundreds of garden forms. ll": lmmlly as at present. recognized

Homesiclkllfnglish Girl

America Offers Rich. Full Life For Her And Daughter

DEAR MISS DIX: I nm an English girl from London. and I am so homesick I don't know what to do. or where to turn for relief from the pain in my licuri. Can you tcll me from some past experience whr-llicr this will pass? i left fl beautiful house nnd 'lurge gardens in the West End of London and am now living in a brick box with no garden at all. In England. I was always visiting thcufrcs, dances and debates. Here. the cost of living is so high I never have I! cent over after paying rent and groceries. I do try to ndjust myself, but now have a daughter and really feel worse than ever. I can't bear to think of the horriblc, narrow life she will liiivc here. No pets. gnrticns. private schools. etc. Do you think i rnn gct uscd to life in America?

MAUREEN

ANSWER: Countless numbers of Europeans. English and otherwise, have got so used to life in America that they wouldn't go back to the old country for anything.

I thoroughly sympathize with the homesickncss you have for your family and your old home. Leiiving everything you loved is no easy task. However. you ccrtainly had nn inkling of the fact that you would he homesick when you crime here. so you can't put the blame for your misc-ry entirely on us.

LOOK ON GOOD SIDE

instead of being resentful over the amount of money spent on lzrorrries. consider the fnct that you can nt least buy nny kind of food you want. in any quantity, and lit prices that are not prohibitive. in spite of the high cost of living. lf you can't manage A large gur- dcn. try window box gardening. xind rnising house plants. They may secm n poor substitute for ncrcs of vclvcty lawn and myriad: of bright flowers. but they have a charm of their own and will prove well worth cultivating.

Your little girl into: it narrow life only if you continually harp on the advantages (real or imaginary) you think she would have In London. Life here is very differ:-nt. mid it is up to you to make the most of its advantages for her. Bring hei up to nppreclntc the grem- nr-ss of your adopted country. Our schools are as fine as any in the world: don't heliflla them.

I think you do need the companionship of your own country- women and for that I suggest you get in touch with the English Speaking Union in your city. through which you will contnct many nthrr young wives in your position. Comparing your problems with thclva will clcrir up many of your own dissatisfaction: (ind show you the way to share in the rich, broad, cxliilnrnting life of America.

DEAR MISS DIX: What would you suggest in this dilemma? I find it necessary to come to town once a weak. which brings me cnllini: on my friends anywhere from 7:15 AM. to 7:30 A.M.. than I snvnd -1 immi nnrt of the any with firm. I rnmo mm early as 1 rim.
