Is- sues appear-and, of course. dis- appear at the making-up". a fair young maid offered in our hearing not too long ago. And when we considered her age. because time has a way of passing so swiftly one is often deceived by its flight, we discovered she is now in her twenties. James verilled this. 1'Yes. she must be" he nodded. "That red more we sold, Ellen. You remem- ber? Well she was into her second year when that girl was born And she's..." and James remem- bers almost to the hour when any ifoal of the past arrived at Alder- -a. Indeed that is one memory the years in passing have not dimmed And on occasion, with the children about him, he takes us back to Ithuse happenings. And as we lis- iten, we are taken out through the silence of a mid-night in June. or maybe towards the morning light when the head of the poultry ifiock is sending out his first shril. calls to linger strange and loud on the peace of the early day. And almost breathlessly, because of the amportance of the happening and our happy anticipation. we peer an very quietly over his shoulder as with a gentle touch he opens the door to "that box-stall in the turn." "And what did you find-or was it there?" one or another will ask in next thing to a whisper. Or perhaps the event happened at the dinner hour, "when I had barely taken time to swallow a blte...and when I went out there :it was! A filly. the image of her- cell. with a little crooked star on -her forehead and four white feet" And in mind we join hands with r.he youngsters and skip along the yarn to the barn to look in upon the miracle of it...only the moth- er moments before, but now for her to cherish and whisper her en- dearments to. a clamp graceful lit- tle creature. as pretty as a fawn in the strawy stall. Certainly James recalls such events. for had he not long anticipated and awaited them eagerly? "And we make up. and every- thlng's heavenly for a While. I guess." the maid laughed merrily though we fancied there were trernulous undertones. "the course of true love never does run smooth. "And it came to mind that this old saying was alwliys something of a puzzle to Judy- she that was helper to us on I! year of the past. What a curious. likeable mixture she wasl Younix and strong. quick in mind and body, and industrious. She was one who could finri pleasant adventures about. Indeed we believe that if she were to be set down in a desert. she would quickly find an oasis to interest and amuse and sustain her some- -where about. She was as ingen- ious and practical as a pioneer woman. and as was to be expected. much taken up with the subject of romance. "Why, he looked at me!" she would exclaim of some young de- parting visitor to Alderles. "And what would you expect him to do turn his eyes away?" we would Modern Eliquerle If Iahcrllloeo Q. What should a tardy dinner guest do when he arrives and find: other guests in a home already eating? A. Apologize to his hostess by all means. and perhaps explain the reasons for his tardiness. The hostess must never take the guest to task, but should say something polite and conciliatory. as, (Tm sure you didn't want us to wait dinner." Q. when a hostess asks a guest to take another helping of some dish. isn't it all right to say. ''I couldn't' possibly eat another bite"? A. No. Merely say, "No, thank you." Such expressions as. "I am already too full." or, "I feel as though I could never eat again," are not considered good form. Q. when there are two en- velopes enclosing the wedding in- vitation, should anything be writ- ton on the inner envelope? A. Yes: it should bear only the name of the person to whom it is sent, not the address.

I no Card Playing 1 Husband Fond Of It: Wife Feels That It Is Wrong DEAR MISS DIX: My husband and I have had quite a bit of discussion on a matter which we view quite differently. He likes to play cards-not to gamble. but as a past e when visiting friends. He believes that kind of card playing is 1:1 right and would like very much to have me learn some card games. I have the feeling that card playing is wrong. I have tried to change my viewpoint but while I realize that a social game of cards is not as wrong as the gambling type. I, still cannot quite accept it. What is your opinion in this matter. F. F. ANSWER: Playing cards, like so many other things in this com- can be good or evil depending on the use to which As instruments of gambling .lhey are as vicious as they are put. t social evening anything on earth: as a means of passing a Q they are as harmless as checkers. . The theatre, books. movies, dancing-all have pernicious potential- ities ss well as possibilities for good. Fortunately, all of these every- day sources of recreation, including cards. are more often employed in their favorable. rather than unfavorable. aspects. DON'T COMPBOMISE WITH CONSCIENCE , While pointing out -how innocuous a game of Canasta, for in- stance. might be, I would not want to undertake the responsibility of advising you to compromise with your own conscience. Any 31- tempt on your part to force yourself into doing something contrary to established ideals and training can result in an emotional conflict that will counteract any social gain you might. achieve. If you continue your contention that card playing is against your Conscience. your husband should gracefully accept your judgment and be proud of your adherence to principle. Most of the trouble in this world is caused. I believe, by people compromising with their own convictions. Too few people are stead- fast enough to maintain a firm stand on principle in the face of crit- lcism. You are to be commended on having sufficient character to do exactly that. so if you cannot reconcile a game of cards with your conscience, let the cards go.

One of his thumbs moved back and forth slowly across the back of her hand. a little gesture of which he was quite unaware. Celia made no effort to conceal incr tears. and at last he roused hlinself from the flood of painful memories evoked by his words and looked at her in bewilderment. "Oh. Celia. you musn't-I've made you cry again. haven't I? I'm terribly sorry." he said con- triiely. She smiled through her tears and tried to steady her voice to say. "It's only that-I'm so terribly sorry for him-and for her. be- cause they both missed so much." He nodded in understanding. "You see now why I say that what Buzz and Mary Sue have,and have hl(l since the. day they first saw each other, is worth all they've gone through these last two or three years?" "Of course," she told him simnlv. He stood no suddenly and in the moonlight that filtered through the branches above their heads he said huskily.

ANSWER: DEAR MISS DIX: My husband is 33 years old and I am 17. Is the difference in our ages the reason he acts so cold to me? He is always treating me like a child instead of a grownup. We live with his sister. and if anything comes up, he discusses it with her instead of me. We have been married two years. R. A. C. ANSWER: My dear. since you are still scarcely more than a child, it's reasonable to assume that a man twice your age finds it difficult to believe you're adult. Only you. by constantly striving to impress him with your maturity, can convince him to treat you as an equal. Sixteen years is a long time to span at your age. but since you love your husband and are willing to make the leffort, it will be accomplished.

Winter covering is needed when the snow has disappeared from our gardens as it is important to keep the frost in the ground. Freezing and thawing plays havoc with our tcnocr plants as the roots are apt to be heaved out of the ground. Spruce boughs are very suitable for a covering and if the garden is exposed in blcak places it will be wise to cover them. Look over your bulbs in storage. some may need attention; he sure they are not in damp quarters. give them a dry spot and if they become too shrivelled a sprinkling of water will plump them up again Glad. bulbs can be cleaned and is- belled. also tuberous begonias.

' At the end of the seventeenth century. the Dutch. with their ex- traordinary activity and initiative introduced the tree into Bavaria. and a plant grown there was sent to Louis XIV in 1714.
