One reader writes me. "The mother who put the svcntcrs of her two young sons Lndertic-ith the hall carpet to he walked or) and into shape.” brought hick memories of his graniiriiniher -'ii'f.'- in: her linen sheets. 'Shti wn . take them off the clam line." h-: says. "fold them carefully. smo . them. and thcn place them un- derneath the cushioiis of her horsehair sofa to iron out." The Viciorian lady had t.o eiectixc ironer. no dishwasher. nr toaster. but shp found slw (oultl solvi- these problems by using more th'-.ri her head.

Blessed with an ancestor who collected too many books I have hcen reading "The Lavis of thr- Ballroom of 1870" and really life was charming! How To Behav- At The Ball. The USllul form of asking a lady to dance is. "May I have the pleasure of ozmcing this quadrille with you?" Where th-sre is great intimacy. ”Will vr)'.i dance?" may suffice. In accept is easy enough-"Thank you" is suf- ficient and to declinc with deli- cacy. and without giving offence. is more difficult-"Thank you: am engaged." suffices u hen that expresses the fact. When it doesn't and a lady would rather not dance with the gentleman applying to her. she must beg to be excused as politely as possible. and it is in better taste for her not to dance at all in that s-l. A strict warning to young women. A lady does not accept refreshments from a stranger who dances with h.,-i- at a public ball. . . . Now for the dinner party. first. Do not pick your teeth at table. or put your hand over or in your mouth. eveti if your teeth do slip. Do not has- itatewto take the List piece of bread or cake in a dish handed to you. Your host has more for oth- er guests. . . . For it gay picnic- Provide an abundance of refresh- ments-both eatables and drinks. Do nothing In a niggardly man- ner. and provide for an ext:-i number of guests. as you may add to your list at the last mo- ment. or some friend may unex- pectedly .1oln you. And one last admonition. the whole affair should be as free from restraint as Is consistent with good breed- ing. . . .

From a reader. and I assume it is a male reader. I have received a very enlightening bit of in- formation. Unfortunately as I can not put it into practise I now pass it along to those of you who wish to do so. It has the whlmsixil little title. "Commanilir.ents For Wives". and here they are: 1- Cater to his tastes. 2-Build up his confidence in hlniself. 3-- Treat him with respnr: 4-Find out your faults that iiritate him and correct them. 5-Cultivate pn- litenesa for family uric. 6-Ht-'p him save money for the future. 7--Be an attentive audience tr. his troubles and worries all wt.ll as his successes. 9-Donlt l'l'lZ at the things he door that are annoying to you. 9-Be rt crim- petcnt housewife and comnanhn. 10--Let. him know in words that you love him. Developing this "working formula" should rt-stilt in a happy and lastinr marriage. . . . How do you feel?

Just for Iafety'a aake. lo I wont lose all my feminine reader: I lfave with the following consola- ton.

Confidential Note To lluabnndo

A woman. good alra. doesn't ask for a lot

Or expect to be always adored.

But she wants at the lent to be noticed. and not.

As soon as she": married ignored.

It isn't your face. or your flat- heats of purse.

That leaves her. in time. disen- chanted. ,

She knows she was taken for bat- ter or worse

But she will not be taken for granted!

WILD 6!!!!

Tonight wihh snow in the Novem- ber air. Over the roof I heard that startling

cry

Panning along the highway of the dark -

The Wild Geese going South. Con-

fused commands As of a column on the march rang

out

Clamorous and sharp against the frosty air.

And with an answering tumult in my heart

I too went hurrying out into the night

Was it from some deep immemorial past

I learned those summoning signals and alarms,

And still must brothers call?

I knew the darkling hope that bade them rise

From Northern lakes, and with courageous hearts

Adventure forth on their un- charted quest.

the garden as I write. and many plantings and transplantings done. If it were possible to garden all iviinictr in this climate something would still remain to be done, and that is why gardening is so enjoy- ed. There are several lovely flow- ers left and the Sweet Briar rose is bright with scarlet hips.

It is most important that the Autumn garden be planted in a sheltered spot near the home; if there is an evergreen hedge so much the better and the hardird things will bloom until heavy for-st. Clematis Pan-icuita is a beautiful late blooming climber and the foliage is a darke green as nice as any summer plant. and more to be dcsircd at this season of the ycan

It seems that every week I have something sad to report about the garden . . . This time it was seven half-grown porkers running all round the garden and rooting up the tulips just planted; however

DOCTORS, DRUG 5,

one experienced general practit- ioner was giving some advice to a group of medical students. He stated that. he had visited a large number of patients that day and that for some he had prescribed a drug or drugs to combat the epi- demic colds that were afflicting so many individuals; he did not prescribe any drugs for others. being satisfied with the competent nursing they were receiving.

He explained that he prescribed no drugs in these latter cases be- cause they had been his patients for years and had enough faith in him to feel that if they were not given drugs it was because he didn't think they needed them.

Generally speaking. if a patient sends for a. physician. it is because he feels that he needs it physic- ian's care and in the mai01'iil' Of cases expects the physician to pre- scribe drugs-to relieve pain. en- strengthen or

symptoms.

In Medical Clinics of North America. Dr. I-lotward P. Rome. As- soclate Professor of Psychiatry. University of Minnesota, states in his article "Doctors; Drugs: Pat- ients" ihat the majority of pa:- ients place their faith. their in- dependence. on the physician, and therefore look upon a prescribed drug as likely to be the answer to their needs.

"There is an important. cymbal meaning to the taking of a drug It. is as if it emotionally united the patient with a poweriful force. In this unconscious union there is strength and at least a temporary sense of security. In this way drugs are able to provide immun- ity to stress." says Dr. Rome.

This faith in the physician. this ahsoluie dependence on the phy-

siciitn's ability to "take care of everything" . removes tenseness and anxiety from the patient.

with tcnscness of mind and body and freedom from anxiety attain- ed. the patient relaxes and so gives his righting forces every chance to bring about recovery.

llowever. every patient hasn't this complete faith in his physic- ian. He knows that the physician is competent but he also knows that the physician with all his knowledge and sympathy. can't know how much he is actually suf- fering and wants in drug -- a powerful dnig-to relieve his pain and anxiety.

From the above we learn that the doctor must know his patient as well as he knows his drugs if he is to help his patient.
