IMid-Morning Coffee.

This morning I didn't use any of the left-over coffee but began a new brew about 10:30. This was for the uninvited friends that'call from time to time to gossip, to argue, or to wonder if pink really goes with tan after all. The best policy here is to say. "yes, of course it does." For in all probability they made quite sure it did before they asked anyway. No one really asks a question like this to be told. "No." Now someone is teaching me to knit. This is very kind of them but very hard on my elbows. which have a tendency to stick out as I put the yarn over the knitting needle. Such is life. I sup- pose. one must learn something new each year. And unfortunately, at every turn. there are people willing to instruct.

Looking down the color sheet which you sent along this time I would suggest Pine Frost Green. This shade does set off mahogany very well and it is a tone found in most flowered chintz. and so it will be quite easy to match. One wall in this same green would be clever and make an interesting color scheme.

For Tomorrow

A SUDDEN turn in the wheel of fortune. a brilliant flash. inventive and creative. is likely to put an entirely dramatic and dynamic twist to current affairs, probably revolutionary and of for-reaching consequence. Aggressive and powerful grasp of an unusual situ- ation could bring thrilling returns. while at the some time capturing the attention of those in influence and capital whose support is urg- ent. Do not put in jeopardy such major aims by lax personal be- havior or crafty ideas.

If It Is Your Birthday

Those whose birthday it is. may 8

be greatly surprised by a quite unpredictable turn of events, com- ing when least hoped for or anti- cipabecl. The influence is radical and of long-range denoueiment, with quick. strenuous and con- structive grasp of unusual circum-

stances. Such having power to im- .

press higher-ups to the extent of

unioosening purse strings and giving ardent support for dra- matic developments. Be careful

not to err on the purely personal touch or false impression by "over- working a good thing."

A child born on this day, may be spectacularly endowed with special talents. genius and stren- uous energetic "know how" to put over its peculiar ideas with vigor. dramatic force easily winning co- operation of the powers that be.

-C. G. D. Roberts.

Flowers in April are more dear- ly loved than at any time summer season. It is true that they do not make very much dif- ference to the garden picture at this time of year, but they are a promise of many. many more to come.

On the sunny southern bank the rock plants have been trimmed. Nepeta is left until the spring. as the winter is rather hard on this lovely grey fragrant mint and the foliage is very attractive all sum- mer if it is cut back after bloom- ing. the lavender blue flowers continue all season. it is pleasant to trim up Nepeta these days be- cause of its fragrance, seeds can be sown as soon as the ground can be worked and it is an easily grown perennial.

Hardy pinks and Dlanthus have been transplanted from the field to the rock garden and with -these that wintered over will make the garden fragrant all summer, the foliage is especially good, a. lovely grey in a neat mound.

Fragrant Wallflowers have been transplanted near the house so they will be enjoyed, and Iceland Poppies to continue the flowers after the Tulips have gone. sweet William Foxglove, and For- get-ms-not have been planted in their borders and new shrubs and roses added to the garden.

I have always wished for some new "Rosybloom crabs" and this week five small trees were plant- ed, they have Indian names and are described as Canadian mt- perimental Farm orlglnations. These trees or tall shrubs are much superior to their seed par- ent ln form, flowers and fruit They are of varying habit of growth with exceptionally fine single flowers shading from light pink to deep rose red according to variety. some of the larger fruit- ing ones have quite palatable fruit which may prove useful in dis- tricts where commercial varieties are very ornamental as the clus- ters of small purplish-red fruit. are borne well on into late fall. The foliage also is ornamental, being of varying degrees of bronze green to red. A Magnolia, and a double white Almond was also planted and it will be interesting to see if they will winter here and bear fragrant bloom.

This is the time to plan the star- den for this year, always remem- bering that a collection of plants is not a garden, but these plants can make a beautiful garden if we arrange them properly. Gar- dening is the. most. difficult art because living plants can change so often and the oolcrs are chang- ing through the season.

I am strongly of opinion that the possession of a quantity of plants, however good the plants may be t”emselve.-4 and however ample their number, does not make s garden; it only makes a collection.

Having got the plants. the great thing is to use them with careful selection and definite intention. Merely having them, or having them planted unasscrted in gar- den spaces, is only like having a box of paints from the best col- ourmsn, or to go one step further. it is like having portions of these paints set. out upon a. palette. This does not constitute a picture; and it seams to me that the duty we owe a picture to our gardens and to our bettu-in; in our gardens in so to use the plants that they shall form beautiful pictures; mid that, while delighting our eyes, they should be always training thou eyes to s more exalted criticism: to a state of mind and artistic conscience that will not tolerate bad or careless cunbinstion or any sort of misuse of plants. but in which it becomes a point of non- our to be always striving for the but . . .

Wasied Life "Other Woman" Confesses Silo Has Harmeci Man's Family And Self

DEAR MISS DIX: For twenty years 1 have been waiting to; 9,, wife of the man I am in love with to either die or divorce him. He, husband and I love each other. life has a family. the children all over 18 now. I left a good home and a husband to start this. 1 could hav married year: ago and been at least conscience free. My

' ' sister says if I really loved this man I would not have tried to break up his home and separate him from his children. In there any way in which 1 can undo the harm that I have done?

R. F.

ANSWER: It hasn't been so much fun as you expected to wreck two homes, to break the itciirt of a good man and to poison another woman's ill, , with jealousy, has it?

i R... Now your conscience is beginning to troubli you. It should. I have thought many a time that the woman who steals another woman's husband from her and who takes away fr-um her all that makes life worth living had hands Just as red with blood

as any assassin. WHAT DID 11' GET YOU?

When you sum up what you have got out of your unlawful pgj. slon, what happiness has it paid you for all the pain you have in. flicted on others and suffered yourself? Your lover did not love --my well enough to sacrifice his family, his social position, perhaps 11;, financial interests by getting a divorce and marrying you, so W, must have known as bitter tortures of jealousy as you ever cziiisi-d his poor wife to suffer. For twenty years you waited, hoping, at-in daring to pray for a woman to die, so that you might take her pm”. and that must have made you loathe yourself. And now you hnv.-I nothing. Your youth is gone. Your passion has died down. You have lost the respect of everybody who knows you, and your consciem. torments you. What a price to pay for a little stolen love!

You ask what you can do. You can break with the man and cease troubling his family. but for the unhappiness you have cnumi his family you cannot atone. What we have done we have done in it cannot be undone. ' '

DEAR. DOROTHY DIX: My husband is overqpas and has been for six months. Before he left he told me he didn't want me sitting at home all the time. He advised me to go out with the fellows on friendly dates. This I have tried to think over seriously before inking any steps toward it. I love my husband very much and I'm sure he loves me. We have been married a year now and I'm still in my teens, Please advise me what to do.

K. L. R.

ANSWER: You are wise indeed to give serious thought to the step your husband advised. If you sincerely love him you will nnt enjoy the company of other boys. and if he loves you I'm sure he would be very hurt if he heard that you had taken advantage of the magnnnimous offer he made. You married young presumably with the full realization of the responsibilities involved which certainly include giving up friendly dates with other men. Remember. there are .1. ways prying neighbors too ready to tear a young girl's lepllilillon apart and a ruined reputation is very difficult to clear. Better can- fine your social activities to the family and your girl friends,
