ROSES and other plants should be ordered now when there is so much time to ponder over'the number you can care for, and nlao'pay for in the coming year. Anticipationxis such a Joy and we surely need some anticipating in this wintry month. Seed orders should be written out and sent as soon as possible to relieve the seedsman in the very busy spring months. Look over the seeds you have saved from your own garden. and those given you by other gardeners, so that you will not order some of the same varieties.

Don't be tempted to let your house droop. waiting for a sunny day befor; you spruce it up. With a little extra cleaning and with- out any expense. you can give it a new lift, and also lift the morale of the whole family. Brighten the View For example, start brightening your view by brightening your curtains. If you say. "But they don't look soiled!" try this test: Gather to- gether Ieveral folds of one our- tain in your hand; if there is the slightest trace of dinginess, it will immediately show up. That dingi- nesl. however slight. dulls the luster of any room. If you have curtains of one of the "miracle fibers." fold them in quarters and Just dip up and down in soapsuds and rinses. Then hang to drip-dry-no ironing re- tllllred. Machine Washing If .using a machine. enclose curtains in a protective mesh bag before sudsing. and use short machine cycles. Remove from the bag if they go into the dryer. and. again. use short cycles. And don't overlook those bed- room organdies! To keep them fresh and pert. they should be laundered often. You can suds them by hand. or toss them directly into the ma- chine. By just starciiing the ruf- fles. you'll save time and effort. and still get the overall effect of impeccable crispness alter they're ironed. Glass and Silverware Then add another bright note by giving a good sudsing to your vases, figurines and such pieces of glass and silverware as you may use as par of a room's decor. MARY HAWORTIPS MAIL Spouse Asks Advice On WiIe's Marriage DEARSMARY HAWORTH: Emmy and I have been married 15 years and she tells me that recently she has fallen in love with another man - I shall call him Eric. , Eric too is married. but he tells Emmy he loves her and wants to marry her if he can get a divorce. and if I willrgive her a divorce. She says she still loves me as much as ever. but also loves Eric. We have three fine children. two girls and a boy. ages 14. 12 and 10: and I know if I give Emmy a divorce, the children will suffer most. I have talked to the pastor of our church about this. and he has talked to Emmy. but we haven't reached a final de- cision yet. We are paying for our house. and Emmy has a new car that I bought for her last year. I have my own car. I give her all the freedom she wants, and I love her with all my heart. We have had many happy times together and I had hoped to have more. I am writing to get your opinion on whether I should give her a divorce. Please answer soon. P. R. Excitement ls Mlacnlled boys DEAR P. R.: It is interesting that Emmy says she still loves you as much as ever - but she loves Eric also. This strikes me as a revelation that she doesn't really love Eric. the man him- self, at all. Rather I take it to mean that she is simply captiv- ated by an experience - the ex- perience of feeling. as it were. newly loved. Emmy's problem (as I see it) is essentially this: Having noth- ing to worry about in relation to you. she has reached a season of crisis in marriage. She is bored -bored with the sameness of her days. and the sameness of her ex- change with you. Belng immature and still self-seelrlng- and not having tapped the deeper levels of psychological awareness that "the kingdom of heaven is with- in"-ahe is castin about for social deliverance from her mood of futility. Hence her notion that Eric is the answer. On his side of the fence .Eric has approximately the same prob- lem with himself. I suppose. lie is looking for an "out" ffom his shallow (or obtuse! discontent with the special relationships he has acquired thus far. And sens- ing Emmy's similar restiveness. he is ” common cause with her - for lack of more significant purpose in life. But whether he would marry her. circumstances permitting. is anybody's guess. As matters stand, even he doesn't know as yet. Illusions End. Boredom Begins Discussing the crisis of bore- dom in marriage. one specialist in human frailtles says it be- gins about the partner end. Not that it needs to - because to reach the end of an illusion is to come to grips with reality; and at this point, real love may begin to germinate and flourish, if the partners have the stuff of char- acter. the loyalty and stability. to make the best of their situa- tion. That is, to philosophicallf accept the other person "as is". Continued on Page 10 KEEP IN TRIM ..:..-m-m... Numerous requests as to how a weight gain can be prevented after smoking is stopped con- stantly come to your dietitian. 'l'ooays letter from a reauer in Florida poses an interesting pron- em. "I have followed your nutrition advice with most pleasing results. I lost an excess 25 pounds and have maintained normal weight for the past year. On the advice of my doctor. I have attempted to cut out smoking. a habit I have indulged in for the past dozen years. This is a most difficult habit to break. I'm finding out.

I have taken to substituting any kind of food that will occupy my mouth and hands whenever the desire for a cigarette becomes myforemost thought. LII"! BAT II Properly Seasoned, Parsvnips Are Deiicious B! IDA BA II. "There is an old proverb that says, "Fair words butter no par- snips." said the Chef. "What does this mean. Madame?" "Probably that parsnips are more attractive and appetizing when seasoned with butter." "Quite true. Without a good dressing of some kind. parsnip: taste dry and fleshy. What is their nutritional value. Madame?" "As to vitamins. Chef. they contain small amounts of B vita- mins .and a little vitamin C; of minerals a little calcium .phos- phorus and iron." Special Value "But'they have another very special value - their cellulose or EYALLIN fleshy content. which is- impor- tant in all diets. in addition to vitamins. minerals. and concen- trated proteins. fnt and starch. we must have plenty of soft bulk to act as a pusher to start and carry on the rhythmic persistalsis of digestion. When soft cellulose foods are eaten. this action starts in the stomach and carries on through the intestinal tract. To do their work well. parsnips should be well masticated."

I know the desire for cigarettes will wane in time. and I will no longer feel the need for a sub- stitute. In the meantime. how- ever. I hate the thought of putting back 10 unneeded pounds while I'm trying to break the habit of smoking." There are two facets to the problem of weight gain when smoking. is stopped. Food tastes better. so one tends to eat more. But of greater importance. author- lties point out, smoking gives oral satisfaction. Food in the form of snacks is used to provide this oral satisfaction when smoking is stopped. Here we are dealing with habit. A recognized way to break a habit is through substitu- tion. but in this case. the substitu- tion can become fattening habit! Nutrition know-how can help you through this difficult adjust- ment period. Have a dish of crisp celery stalks. cauliflowerettss and carrots silvers. Crunch on these when you get that urgent de- sire to "light up." They will pro- vide oral satisfaction with a mini- mum of calories. For an energy pick-up at your "sero hour" in the Jate morning or late afternoon. have protein v a hard cooked egg. a wedge of cheese. a glass of skim milk. buttermilk or cocoa made with skim milk. Here's another tip - breathing exercises practiced for five min- utes eight to to times a day hein- ed 15 heavy smokers stop smok- ing. according to a report by Dr- William Kaufman in the Journal of the American Medical Associa- tion.
