"An' I suppose. James. ys'll be after glvin' her a big bouquet of roses today?" Pat, I. helper these days offered, when we stopped in the yard to "kaley" a moment with the helpers before respective stints of work within and without ihould begin. James was so inter- ested in something he failed to hear the query and made no reply. He oontiniied sighting the lines of the new barn, the framework of which now commences to appear; stepped back a few paces and sur- veyed it again.

"If I had a good woman," Fat to whom blarney-touched as he is, where our sex is concerned, every woman is so, chuckled. "I'd bring her an armful -- red ones an' while an every color I could get- -a whole liundrcd av them. . . that's vihat I'd give her, with my love an' 3 kiss on our wedding anniversary."

At. one period in their history, which is a long one, they were excessively popular, and shows entirely devoted to them were held in many parts of England. Rivalry among the oldtime florists was in- tense, and many new varieties were raised every year.

The story of the weavers of Pais- Iley and how they raised their fam- ous pinks is an interesting account of the weavers who came from France in the middle of the 18th century and established themselves ilfl a row of houses on the outskirts of the Edinburgh of that time. It lwas then called Picardy Row -and ,it is now a busy thoroughfare al- most in the centre of the city and known as Picardy Place. Those French weavers brought their love of flowers with them, and, as they moved from one place to another -- Faikirk, Glasgow and Paisley, a similar movement took place in England --and it was noted that where silk, linen or cotton manu- factures were concerned and car- ried on by manual labour. the ar- tisans or operatives, had a taste for the growing of flowers and spent their leisure time growing and de- veloping them.

History of Crochet

It is interesting to delve into the past and discover the origin of this popular needlecrsft. Crochet really came into its own with the birth of the Machine Age though its history dates back to the sixteenth century. The word crochet is derived from the French ”croche", meaning hook. Originally the crochet. boo W was one of a number of tools used in theintricsle process of lace mak- ing. However, crochet gained its first real impetus as or separate srt when the great. famine swept Ire- land in 1846. The nuns, who had formerly used crochet in making lace, taught. their pupils and the proceeds from the lace thus pro- tllif'f'tl was used in help starving families. Many of tliesc schools flourished during the period and the fame of the new art spread to England where even Queen Victoria learned to crochet. Shortly after that it. became known all over Europe and North America where it has become. extremely popular ever since.

If confronted with sn unusual prob- lem and you need help in solving it. do not hesitate to seek advice. You should find cooperation. During the evening hours you may be the recipient of a favor. gift or I. compliment which will send your spirits soaring. Romance and court- ship are also favored during this period.

MAKING SURE OF DIAGNOSIS IN BREAST CANCER

Cancer of the breast is becomini more common, but cancer reaesrcl: workers state that this is because the life span has been so greatly lengthened that more women IN! to the cancer age than formerly. while breast cancer can be resch- ed readily by the usual methods- X-rays. radium, and surgery - neverthelcss neglected bressi growths can so invade the glands in .the neighborhood that early recognition of breast cancer is most important if health is to be pre- served and life saved.

I have written before of the thret women reported by a surgeon who had believed they had breast can- cer but refused to inform their families as any of the above meth- ods of treatment would have inter- fered with the plans of the fam- ily-a world's tour among others. After returning home and consult- ing the surgeon it was found that the lumps in the breast were simply enlarged milk glands, completely devoid of danger.

More recently I recorded the Id- vice of an outstanding cancer spec- la.list who suggested that women of the cancer age (35 to 65h should feel their breasts from time to time to see if any lump is present and if so. whether or not it was in- creasing in size.

In "American Surgeon" Atlanta 03.. Dr. H. S. Stcirrs. reports a study of 203 breasts undergoing surgical operation between I933 and 1851 Of 79 cases diagnosed as cancer be- fore operation, only 55 (about 70 per cent) proved to be cancer. Nine- teen were some form of cyst. if the later cases of cancer were not in- cluded. the number of cases wrongly diagnosed would be much greater.

In order that physicians and surgeons could be more sure of their diagnosis in breast cancer, Dr. Storrs suggests that biopsy (re- moval of a portion of the breast by a special type of punch needle) and examining it under the microscope. To diagnose the early cases and thereby cure more rascs of cancer. a portion of all tumors (lumps) of the breast should be removed and examined microscopically. The Id- vantages of an excision biopsy with elcctro-siirgery are obvious. As long as surgical removal of the breast remains the method of choice in breast cancer, biopsy removal should be used routinely in pat- ients with solitary nodules rlumnsl. discharging nipples. snd other breast. condltloiis tin one breasti that might be cancer.
