Azaleas are un- doubtedly the most decorative and rewarding in the performance. Spectacular in coloring. they vary from pure white to red purple, and their blooming season can be ex- tended over an amazingly long period. With moderate care and a cool atmosphere, the plants can be expected on bloom for several weeks.

The evergrowing number of varieties cultivated as green house plants have been bred from a few original types native to the hilly regions of China. Korea and Ja- pan. The group widely known as Azalea indies was probably de- rived from a species known as A. simsi. Most of the hybrids from

If she likes to knit. the shorter. round containers are perfect for holding a ball of knitting wool. Write a note on the enclosure card, suggesting that the recipient punch a hole in the lid of the container with a can opener and tape rough edges. By drawing the wool through the hole in the lid, thereia no pesky snarling of the yarn.

Oblong containers can be used to hold hankies, hose or powder puffs.

Azsleas are not hard to grow if a few simple rules are followed. First. and perhaps the most im- portant of all, they require an acid soil. In the summer, plants are best kept outside in semi- shade with the pots plunged in the ground. During the warm summer days they require daily watering. but if this not not possible it is better to plant them in the ground.

They can be left out until late in - ' -

the fall. but protection from freez- ing temperatures musl. be assur- ed. Then do not bring into a warm temperature too early, but they should be kept in a cool. light and airy place until mid-November. When in flower. Azalea plants should never be allowed to dry out. as this will surely shorten the blooming period. After flowering, remove old flowers and place pots in a cool, light. airy place where they should be watered sparingly. in April, before new growth starts. trim plants to make them shape-

ly. otherwise they become too large and ungainly. Azaleas are not troubled with

pests and if kept healthy will not require any spraying.

They like a cool. light location and will not tolerate a hot sunny window. Watering should also be carefully watched. Keep plants moist and avoid letting them dry out but they should not be wet. If these directions are followed you will be rewarded with a beautiful flowering winter plant.

GLORIES OF WINTER.

He who marvels at the beauty of the world in summer will find equal cause for wonder and ad- miration in winter. it is true the pomp and pageantry are swept away. but the essential elements remain m the day and the night. the mountain and the valley. the elemental play and succession. and the perpetual presence of the in- finite sky. In winter the stars seem to have rekindled their fires, the moon achieves a fuller triumph and the heavens wear a look of, more exalted simplicity. Summer is more wooing and seductive. more versatile and human. appeals to the sentiments and a He: tie it s and fosters in qu i ry and the art of impulse. Winter is of more heroic cast. and addresses the in- tellect. The severer studies and- discipline come easier in the win-l ter.

One imposes larger tasks upon himself and is less tolerant of his own weakness.

John Burroughs.

Some of these Winter mornings have been glorious! A light fall of snow on the orchard trees and I can understand the longing some of our friends have at this season for the beauty left behind when they now live in the summer cli- mate of other countries. Always I am amazed at the love they have, at the Christmas time for home and the beauty of the snow clad hills of home. Their Christmas cards bear this out when they always select a snow scene in- stead of one depicting the land where they now live.

THE FALLING SNOW

The footsteps of the snow . . .

They tread the rugged earth as tenderly.

As April venturing her first caress:

They bind the old Earth's fur- rowed griefs and scars

Within the white form of a sound- less sea,

Energy Diet for Reducing

Many overweights who want to reduce. are afraid dieting will drsu-i their energy. This goes for home- makers and i-ares-r women alike. Today there are more wives than there are single girls who work. With two jobs to do daily. is wo-

strength. . No argument there . so all; those interested. tune in. On a

scientific low calorie diet. you have more energy. not less. This is true for two reasons: The scientifically planned diet includes the essential nutrients in amounts needed to make good the wear and tear of daily living. Lowering the calories forces nature to draw on stored

fat for part of your fuel needs. and this lessens the burden of fat.

Excess lat II a burden to carry. For example, you know how heavy 30 Pounds of-srocerii-s are to hit toting them even for a short. distance leaves you all tuokered out. With a. sigh of relief you put them down. Extra pounds are . burden you cannot put down at the end of a couple of blocks. Tot- ting this excess weight drains en. ergy.

Of course you have to eat to keep up your strength . . . but it is a mistake to think that over- eating builds more strength. Food furnishes fuel for energy, but fuel is burned according to the demand of the muscles for energy. not ac- cording to the amount eaten. What- ever is eaten in excess of im. mediate needs is stored for future use. For this reason three. balanc- ed rncals a day best meet daily energy needs.

I-f you are overiseight, but feel dragged out while dieting. it. is not because you are losing. but for other reasons. You are not eating the foods which furnish sufficient, FEDHH” and regulating materials and you are taking the bulk of calories at the evening meal when there is less demand for energy.
