Woman '3 Reglmo PAGE TWO III GUARDIAN 001031 34, 1030. r., Mid-Morning Coffee An appreciative thank-you sou first to tho ten-thirty coffee drinkers who wrote. phoned. or verbally gave a few moments of their busy morning to add several interesting topics to our mid-morning conversation. A Pownal street. reader says. "Every morning about ten or so I usually enjoy my warmed-over coffee from breakfast. Al- ways make too much at seven so I can sit down and IIEIGX half way through the morning." From a. .Wnter Street apartment house. "Some days I have a coffee party and the other days in the week I tell my neighbors its their turn. We find it more economical that. way." From several Charlottetown business girls. "Coffee in the morning! The boss is the only one who gets that privilege around here. and al- ways just after he's put in a long distance telephone call' Then it may be 'Rcddin's'. 'Thee Rendezvous'. or 'Woolworth's' before we get. hold of him again." . Well I got out my saw. And the coffee table wasn't very difficult to do either. That is. after I had practised sawing for awhile on a few old slabs of wood. The raw materials needed are: a solid plank. planed on all sides. (Schurmai-i's or Chandler's might do this for you to make things a lot easier). Then steel bars cut to Mze for legs which you might talk Bruce Stewart's into doing for you. Th: plank should be four fcct long. eighteen inches wide. and-two-ine.hessshsall.blly,through her days thick. I forgot that didn't I? After you select the side of the plank which has the best grain and fewest flaws to be the top. your first job will be culling the bevels. The top is smooth and the bevcls run in on H slant about four inches. toward the bottom of the plank. Next come the legs. After the bevels are cut. put the plank face downward rind murk off measurements on each of the four corners as follows: three inches in from the bevel and four inches in from the straight sides. Where these two lines meet in each of the four corners will he the locations of holes which will hold the table legs. You will need a carpenter's drill for this to cut out the depth about one and five-cights inches. And these holes are drilled on a slant. A guagc made of cardboard will help you keep the preferred angle. I 0 I O D At this point I sat down and had ii cigarette. Next tiie ends of the legs which rest on the floor had to be prepared and they were filed and then smoothed with sandpaper. The ends of legs to be in- serted in the holes. I coated with ordinary household cement, and of course the holes themselves. The legs were tapped into place with a hammer. If they seem wobbly brace them in with a few slivers of wood. Remember too that these legs are to be on an angle. If table doesn't stand level and even. give an extra whack to the offending "long" legs. until the table's solid. Lastly comes the sanding and shellac. and I will leave this to your individual tastes as everyone has their preferred method. It looks very modern. rather startling-but everyone uses it for magazines! . T I O O 0 Really though. I can't say which is the harder. making furniture or reading to an imaginative three-year-old.-"Come on now and I'll read you a story from your new book."-"That's my book!-"I know. and I said that I'll read you the story of the Puppy with the Long. Long Ears"-"Alrirzht." In this picture you can see the puppy with his mummy and his daddy. And there is the dear little puppy right there." - "Wheres the mummy puppy . . . Ooh she hasn't got any apron on." - "No but she has a nice blue bow in her hair." - "What's she got the blue bow in her hair for." - "To tie up her ears when she's getting breakfast." - "My mummy doesn't tie up her ears when she is getting breakfast." - "I know. I know she doesn't. Now let's read the story about the puppy whose ears grew too long. See it says in the book. that his ears were so long that the fiehl mice laughed at him. and the kittens laughed at him and when he went out to play his poor long ears got covered with burrs.' - "What's birds in cars! l - "No. not birds in his ear . . . burrs in his ears. from playing in the grass." - "Show me the picture with the birds in his em-s'. I VVZil'Iltl see some pictures of birds in his ears." - "Look. right there. see they're not birds. they're burrs." - "Do they sing Toodlcdo? Show me the picture of the birds in his ears." . . . So iin read me the story. And it was certainly more en- tertaining than the original. 0 U I I 0 Yesterday I tried a household hint which I didn't believe and found it worked. After serving hot sausage rolls in pastry. the linen napkins they were folded in were so stained with grease that surely they could never be used again. Remembering a small clipping saved somewhere in tin envelope, which told every possible way of remov- ing grease spots. I went to look for it. First it said: soak the article in very coldwaier. then wash it in hot suds. rinsing it finally in very hot water. I did. and the grease lust floated out! 0 D O O A smart housewife who does a lot of entertaining says she makes her own sandwich spread just as some women put down jams and jellies. I-Icr tried and tested recipes are bottled in large jars and are ready for coffee. cocktails or afternoon tea. Some mbrning. I think I shall phone her up and. ask her for ll. few.of these recipes. .

For Riding Bicycle DEAR MISS DIX: I am a woman 53 years old. As my husband goes to business every day. I am very lonely for both of my children are dead. so I bought a bicycle and was enjoying it very much as it took my mind off my troubles. I was getting a great deal of exer- cise, which improved my health. But to my dismay I have been told - by a woman that it is highly improper for a wo- man of my age to ride is bicycle and that nobody would think that one who did so was "nice". Please tell me if this is true for while I enjoy my bicycle I try to use common sense and good taste in everything I do and do not wish to be cen- surcd by right-thinking people. I. MAC. 2.

O C O ' and Autumn is the time of the bulb planting. and the last weeks of' October and early November is I busy season in the garden. Tulips can be planted much later than this in the ground if it is not frozen. and quite often I have had a good display with December planted bulbs. VVllEE.ii is,ime,9-isibie to plant for some good reason or other. and you wish to keep Che ground from freezing, cover with some old bags or other material. I would suggest the gariy morning for the planting. an it is neces- sary to be well dressed for this work with warm loose fitting clothing. because this is strenuous bending and digging. but it can be a very great joy as we plan and plant for next year's spring garden. 0 O U I am wondering where to plant two hundred daffodils . . . there are many places where they would look well. but because they are one of the earliest blooming bulbs. it is necessary to have a back- ground of evergreens to shelter them and to bring out all their beauty; it is also good to have a sheltered warm spot. to sit and en- joy them in the cool spring days. Daffodils do not look well when their foliage is ripening and there- fore should be pianted where this will not be so noticeable. They increase rapidly and must be plant- ed where they can multiply with- out any interference from other strong growing perennials. It is possible to plant a bed of tile.-:-e bulbs in a corner of the garden in good rich soil and they will grow especially well, but to bring out the real beauty of the daffodils I shall plant them with a back- ground of the evergreen hedge on the upper terrace near the house in a sheltered spot with o For- sythia shrub nearby hanging out its golden bells. Blue, blue for- get-me-not will cover the stems and continue blooming for several weeks after the daffodils have finished so they will help to hide the ripening leaves of the bulbs as this is necessary for the good of the bulb. o Violas will be planted as an edg- ing to the flower border snd ill a yellow color: they will be oelected from the seedlings in the (lgld grown from ;eed saved from the garden plants. More daffodils will be planted at the edge of the wood "at. the top of'the rose-gafden: they lend them. selves lo naturaiizing in drifts. and 311 gardeners long for the day whcn it is. possible to use them in this way in a little wood among the trees.

This will be comforting news to many who get excited when such a thing occurs and in their confus- ion may be afraid to use any method. even this simple method of treatment. before consulting the eye specialist. This delay can cause damage. Another simple method of treat- meng for an eye irritated by dust. smoke. or other particles is the use of caster. oil. Two or three drops of castor oil put in the outer. corner of the eye and masaged gently toward inner corner is very soothing and prevents further ir- ritation or inflammation.
