HAPPY NEW YEAR). And I. hap- py year in your gardens I wish for you in the coming year! For you who have received gifts of flower- ing plants at this holiday season perhaps a word just now on the care of these lovely potted plants. Remember that many of our homes are too hot for these plants. so place them in the coolest light place near the window. Keep moist but not wet and they will last much longer than when in a hot, dry position.

There are many lovely potted plants which do ndt require much sun, and they do well in a west or east window, sometimes in a north window especially ivies. ferns. and begonias.

The African Violet is blooming here in a small window in the room where I write a'nd there is also I Fuschlafand a small scarlet geran- ium in bloom. On the sides of this small window are brackets holding

This is an interesting type which Mr. Buell of Connecticut has been experi- menting with for years, but it is unknown to many flower-lovers.

The bulbs grown for winter blooming should be watered and those that have grown up can be brought to the light gradually and soon fragrant flowers will cheer us in these days when the garden is resting.

Too often the Christmas holidays are occasions for too much oflevery- thing. You eat too much, you play too hard, you get to bed too late. You're busy having a good time, and you overdo just about every- thing. '

Too Many Goodies

Candy. cookies and goodies of all kinds abound in virtually every home at Christmsstime. And, of course, there's the big Christmas dinner, too.

Constant nibbling of candy, cook- ies. nuts and the like, and then top- ping all this with a heavy meal of rich foods, is bound to bring dis- comfort, if not actual damage, to your body.

harmful. It's their abuse, not their use, that does the harm. Your stomach will let you kno when you have abused it. Indigest on will quickly make you regret your ways.

Remedy for Indigestion

If you are troubled by indigestion this afternoon. you can probably get relief by taking sodium bicar- donate and lying down. Mix a tea- spoonfui in half a glass of warm water and drink it slowly.

While you should try to avoid overeating, it is equally mportsnt to avoid excessive exertion. This is particular-l true for those of you in the lat r years of life

Proper Clothing

Dress warmly when you go out into the cold weather. When you come back into the house. take off your overcoat. sweater and other outdoor gear even if you're going to remain inside for just a few min-

utes. .

Don't stand around in a warm room and perspire. If you do, you're inviting trouble when you go out again. The sudden change in tem- perature will strain your heart. And you know what that can do.

Get mom nest

Forvtodsy. and all of next week, plan your activities to allow enough rest. Take a. few minutes several times each day to sit down and re- lax. And get to bed on time. Make sure you get your eight hours' sleep every night.

If you heed this simple advice. you have a much better chance of being around to enjoy the Christ- mas holidays again next year.

Read Fine Print

It's a good idea, before beginning to use any such equipment, to sit down calmly and read the fine print in the booklets and Information sheeis that come with it. Just now, we're thinking of the manufacturerts information that comes with the new-type automatic washer and dryer. If one really studies and knows this valuable piece of equipment, it can save endless labor, and monqy too.

Versatile Gadgets

The chances are that. unless one is an exceptional homemaker .one is not likely to be aware that a washer and dryer can do many more chores than it is often given to do, There are amaain ly few items that can't be successfully laundered in'a washing machine these days It's all in knowing how. And the instructions make you an expert. -

If you possess an automatic dry- er, for instance. you may be sur- prised to discover that it can do a large amount of your ironing. That is, garments coming out of the dry. er are often so- fluffy and wrinkle- frse that they never need the touch of an iron. Women who have taken the trouble to find out exactly what a dryer can do. report that such things as velvet jackets and blouses which look hopelessly wrinkled can be steamed back to a new look in the dryer. ,

To do this, just toss a wet bath towel into the dryer, and when the dryer is filled with steam, put in your V8lVEbgBQCE50T;l:u. The steam will take the wrinkles right out.

The same "ironing" method also works on gabsrdines and a lot of other fabrics. Many cottons come out of the dryer smooth enough to be put right on. Flannel baby gar- ments feel soft as down.

Rough Clotllei

Almost every family laundry in- cludes work clothes these days, if not the industrial type of heavy work clothes. at least blue jeans and cssuais. These, too. can be made to look shlpshapegby. putting them in the dryer,ihen hand-pressing when they come out.

The secret of this "ironing" pro- cedure is not to overdry. Let gar- ments be Just barely moist enough so that a firm pressing and smooth- ing with ths fingers here and there,

immaturity Plagues Wife

. DEAR L. 1".: It is easy enough to see what the problem is; but per- haps less easy to remedy it. You are married to a sort of child bride, who profoundly resents (maybe un- conscio 'y) the workaday require- ments of wifehood and motherhood, and especially the implicit demands for continuous self giving (in terms of attention to, and consideration of others).

' Possibly she hasn't the physical stamina or the psychological apti- tude to become a mature woman- ly partner in marriage, at a norm- al pace of progression and adjust- ment. Or possibly you. and also her parents, are too lenient, too solicit- ous, too doting, to be of help in promoting her growth towards healthy social adequacy. If she seems "happy as a lark at mother's" it is probably because while there she figuratively lays her burdens down. relapsing temporar- ilyalnto a filial relatlonship,'with a sense of escape from her matron's duties. Also under mother's wing she may even enjoy. her wifely status (as a kind of dramatic role) -with s prideful lift of elation at what a big girl she is with a hus- bs.nd..son and house of her own. Rather in the spirit of a child play- ing at being married. with momma cozily in sight,

Not Yet Able To Give Love

Back home with you, involved in responsibilities shared by you, she may indeed have moods of "hating the sight" of you, mainly because you signify her actual circumst- ances, the fact that she has burn- ed her bridges and isn't a child; that she is harnessed to s presum- ably grown-up partnership, and so on. Also maybe she feels that you life looking to her for reassurance -for encouragement, approval, ap- preciation, etc., when she expects you to be the calm sure family head, and her paternal-type leaning post. The truth is, you can't "make" Jane happyf and your loneliness in marriage is due to being shut out of her personality. she is too im- mature as yet. too self-centered in I Chlldllh WM. to lovega mate re- sponsively-with real "other-aware- mass"; with insight, tenderness, compassion. respect and gratitudl for his interest in her.
