MENT?

Most nf the remarks are said in a very subtle way but neverthe- less I know what they mean. Usual- ly I simply ignore them but just recently i did speak my piece and told someone I fully intend to marry Joe

I don't moan there is widespread, criticisnr but at least four persons have Said unkind things in me about Joe As I do intend in marry him, I want you to tell me how to cope with these disparage-mcnts. Joe is s God-loving man and I think I am very lucky that he wants me in be his wife 8.6, WIDOW IIERSELF ONLY HALF. SOLD DEAR B 8' it seems in me that you are of two minds nbnut Joe -- as you privately weigh the pros and cons of his character. Personality. competence. looks. etc. You feel that he is a decent fel- low. who would be a good husband for somebody -- and his desire to marry you has been quite a con- tribution to your peace of mind. It affords a sense of emotional security. in your erstwhile lonely widowhnnd.

On tthe other hand. you aren't at all in love with Joe, the generally accepted Vlhe delighted) meaning of the term. You probably rate Joe as likeabls. restful, com-

' ” aoclally presentable.

CM. and You may be genuinely fond of him. But I repeat. you aren't in love with him -- an emot- ional hewllcbmcnt that gllds even defects with endearing charm -- snd. therefore. you can see him oblectively, even while thinking of him with personal interest.

Your own ambivalent feelings about Joe set the stage for your problem (such as it is) with his critics. In your sanctuary-seeking but only half-sold slate of mind. you are especially sensitive to nthcrs' npinlons of Joe. And when they voice for imply) uncnthuslas- tic views that seem to echo hid- den thoughts you have. you twinge as if a corn has been stepped on. You'll feel Wetter about marrying good old Joe for security if every- one said. "What a wonderful catch!"

CIIITICS IIEVEAL THEIR NEGA- TIVISM

In my opinion. Joe's ll years' aenority ianlt a serious difference. Indeed it is in your favor. since it gives you a girlish youthfulness as compared to him -- which no doubt lnlensi'ieu his pleasure in your society. And if he isn't hand- some. that doesn't matter. so long as his looks are acceptable to you. "If ” is as k d does." and if he is decidedly nice. that's the quality that counts.

The line of dlsparagement that you report has a niggling, killjoy ring. It sounds as if certain peevish parties. at odds with their own experience, are backing away at your odest hopes, trying to dis- suaadc you from taking a chance on a sterling offer. This kind of criticism isn't honest. hence should- not be wrestled with. Turn a deaf ear to it. and take your cues from your own common sense. M.H.

The first flower catalogue of the New Year has arrived and from on they will be the favorite rehdlng of the gardener who is looking for- ward to this year's garden and planning for it.

Anticipation is almost as good as the realization of anything which contributes to our happiness and certainly this applies to gardening. At this season of the year we are dreaming of the garden as it will be in a few short months. and hop- ing for s more beautiful and satis- fying garden than ever before. If you have left your dreams behind, if hope is lost. and you no longer look ahead, then you are old. Age is a quality of mind. if your sm- bitlons, fires are dead--then you are old. But if from life you take the beat. no matter how the years go by. you are not old.

The weather this season has kept us on the jump to do our garden work under difficult circumstances, I have been digging up some clay under the snow for my hybrid tea roses and find it is not frozen, so little by little the roses have been hilled up and the snow will be a protection until this is done ll llopel Our mild seasons have not fitted us for such an early winter. Walk- ing up through the orchard on a sunny morning is delightful when the load is not too heavy. tnd we remember that snow cherlsheth the ground.
