WINTER
By d. C. PEATTH.

For those lusty souls that delight in
skiing (skijoring, as the English inform
us we ought to spell it, Winter is all
too soon over. But, for me at least,
Winter is about two months too long to
be interesting, and it's long time be-
tween the last late witch-hazel bios
som and the first alder catkin.
Every flower lover will agree with me,
I think, and what we should do with
out the Winter bulbs hate to imagine
They are all that tighten the gloom of
the dark days, that soften the belliger-
ent and tireSome heartineSS of the unco'-
athletic souls that buster loudly about
the fine, bracing air.
Give me the hyacinth for sheer per-
lection of color and form and scent.
1t has never been surpassed by any
Winter flower. One of the surprises of
my life was to see hyacinths growing
wild-yes, wild as danoelions or jimson
weed on the Riviera. But 1t was inva-
riably purple, and instead of the broa 4,
fiat leaves and the thick, short spike
of flowers the leaves were limp anG
grassy and the spike long and stringy.
Infinitely superior Is the cultivated va
riety, though more conventional, of
course.
When you buy hyacinth bulbs from
the nOr1SI IL Is usually DeSG not TO Duy
them too cheap. Get strong looking
bulbs. Pot them in an ordinary pot,
with few broken pieces of terra Gotta
in the bottom to make good drainage,
and after that it matters little whether
the flower turns out white, or pink, or
red, or lilac, or blue, or purple, giant or
dwarf, single or double. All are de-
lightful.
Another method that Is simple for
forcing hyacinth bulbs is to place a
strong bulb in jar so that its bottom
just touches water, and keep it in the
dark till the roots are strong and the
main flower shoot is about 8 inches in
length. Then gradually accustom the
bulb to half-light and finally strong
light If the level of the water sinks,
add a little more, and good idea is
to drop in some charcoal from your
fireplace. It absorbs from the water all
the self-poisons that the roots secrete.
Some of the hyacinth varieties that re-
spond splendidly to water forcing meth
DDS are Grand Maitre, Grand Lilas,
King of the Blues, Lady Derby and
Innocence.

The length of the material should de-

In making tucks over the shoulder,
make them deeper in front than in

One reader called my attention to the
error in the leaflet on How to Make
Sleeping Bags" which so many of you
have had this year. The amount of ma
terial Is set down as one and onc-fourth
yards for the small baby and two and
one-fourth for the larger one The fig
ures should be two and one-fourth for
the small baby and three and one
fourth for the larger one. Those of you
who noted the figures at the side of the
diagram as 40 inches doubled would i'm
mediately sense the discrepancy in the
two figures, for twice 40 inches is two
and one-fourth yards and not one and
one-fourth. I am sorry this happened,
and hope those of you who have the slip
will make note of this. Our new print
ing of the leaflets will correct the error
Meanwhile, have another letter de-
scribing a successful manner of keeping
a baby covered. As this is a nightly
problem and the same methods do not
work with all children, am printing it.
Mrs. F. K. writes: Receiving a gift
Of two pairs of baby garters which I did
not use, I discovered that they made
clever fasteners for the bed clothes.
These were short garters, so bought
sufficient half-inch elastic to allow for
wrapping it about the spring and bring
ing 1t up over the mattress and faSten-
ing it to the cover. 1 tuck the first
blanket around the baby. The second

corners. use a sleeper on baby, and

there Is no danger of pins tearing out.
My baby, incidentally, is months old.
"A friend suggested this and 1
found it useful: Baby shoves to the
top of the bed. BY running baby pill
low through the crib rungs his head hits
this when he pushes up and not the
iron rungs. He can't hurt himself and
he doesn't wake UP. This Is q good
bumper.
LET me thank you for the numero' )
helps have received from your articles. I"
Thank you for telling me. The pillow
idea is good one. have used it my
self. A great deal of the trouble moth
ers have in keeping their babies covered
is the result of using too small covers
and then pulling them around the chill
dren tightly. No baby likes to be
wrapped like log, and will strain and
fret until freed. If large covers are
used, they can be tucked under at the
end about 6 or inches, and likewise at
the sides, leaving plenty of slack in
the middle so that the child can move
about freely and still keep covered. Crib
blankets are really not large enough for
the average metal crib, but only for the
willow baSSinets. When baby graduates
into a crib at months of age, he needs
the same size blankets that one uses on
single bed.

Everyday Psychology
Where Do You Live q?
BIZ DIR. JESSE W. sPROwLs.

Where DO you live? The landlord or
the assessor, or both, may establish your
physical residence very easily, and they
will be sure to keep record of your
whereabouts.
In your everyday behavior you may
live in many places. Psychology knows
something about the pressure of one's
immediate surroundings, but it has a
lot yet to uncover about ones remote
surroundings.
Race is a dwelling place for your
mind, generally speaking. Profession
or vocation is another. Age-group is a
third, ambition is a fourth, avocation
fifth. You may numerate the man
sions of the mind at almost any length
Such an exercise may teach you the
art of analysing yourself as well as
others.
Wherever you may live psychology
cally, try to cut down the pressure OF
ancestral worship. It's dangerous
with China. l have no opinion. But
I have known a few persons who sort
of lost their bearings on the present by
studying gensalogy.
On the other hand, there's the fu-
ture-one, two or three jumps ahead
Of the present. It's as easy TO stake
| too much on the future as it is to rely
overmuch on the past.
The main argument today is this
Every human mind has a continuou:
existence. 1t sits on what Prof. Jane,

over, Cherubini said:
This is not MehulS; 1t is too bad to
be his"
will you believe me If I tell you it
Is mine?" asked the visitor.
NO" retorted the maestro. 1T is too
good to be yoursl"
Cherubini was director of the Paris
Conservative at time when Berlioz
WAS student there. The young man
who was later to be luminary OF the
world of music did not get on we'll with
the sharp tongued director One ex-
animation day Cherubini was running

when he came upon complete rest of

asked sarcastically.

thought would best be gained by

"Ah, you think it will produce a good
effect upon the audience If you suppress
two meaSures?"
Yes, sir"
very good idea" said Cherubini,
but the effect will be even better II
| you suppress it all"
One OF the most caustic criticisms
| the composer ever gave was without
words. Halevy, who had been one of
his fayorite pupils. invited the old mas
! ter to hear one of his operas. At the
end of the first act he asked Cherubini
how he liked the composition. Cheru-
bini seemed not to hear him, for he
made no reply.
At the end Of the second act Halevy
again asked his opinion. Still he got
no reply. will you not give me ar
answer?" asked Halevy. Cherubini re-
manned silent and Halevy, angry anc
mortified, got up and left the box.

Household Methods
ConVeniences.

Some housewives seem to think that
the only kind Of conveniences are those
that are run by electricity-or that
are very xpensive-things that you
go to the store to buy and then pay
for very literally You know the sort
electric washing machines, electric and
gas mangles, vacuum cleaners and the
like.
Well, these are convenienceS, to be
sure, and If you can possibly afford the
initial expense they are always a good
investment. But there are other little
conyeniences, things that don't cost
much-sometimes things that don't cost
anything in actual money that will save
as much of the busy housewives time as
these other things. They say that an
electric washer saves the housewife a
day week. Doubtless it does. Vacuum
cleaners save many, many hours and
much strength But sometimes these
other conveniences save just as much
time.
Now, what are they?
Here is one. 1t is matter of ar
rangement. 1t is having your kitchen
arranged so that when you dry dishes
you can put most Of them right into
the shelves where they belong, instead
of having to place them on tray on a
table later to be carried into another
room and put away in cupboard that
you must stoop down to see. Then there
is much time to be saved by having
places for your food conveniently placed
If you have to walk down cellar every
time you want to get butter or milk
this takes many minutes day, hours a
week possibly.
Having kitchen utensils where they
can be reached easily is another conven-
ience that saves time-more time than
| you realize unless you compare the
meal when the utensils are hung
where you can reach them from your
work table and stove and the steps you
would have to take were they slowed
away in a cupboard at one side of the
kitchen.

My Neighbor Says:

A damp cloth dipped in baking
soda will remove tea and coffee
stains from china cups.
In pressing never put an iron
on the right side of any goods
except cotton. Always lay cloth
between the iron and the goods.
If you have leftover chicken,
beef or ham, chop. season well,
spread on three-inch squares of
pastry. Moisten with a little
gravy or milk, roll up like a jelly
roll, pressing the ends together
tightly, bake in quick oven and
serve hot for luncheon.
One of the best ways to remove
a fresh ink stain is to saturate
the material with kerosene. Let
II stand is minutes, then wash
out.
All wooden buckets when not
in use should have about 2
inches of water left in them.
This prevents them from becom-
ing too dry and the wood from
shrinking so that they leak.

How to Get Fat.

Sometimes in this space we talk
about how to get thin. For a change,
let's talk on how to put on weight. In
a way the methods are the same-that
is, you must have a properly function
ing body. Your system must not be so
stuffed up with undigested food that 1t
cannot assimilate the new diet which
I recommend You must drink plenty
Of water and you must study the caloric
value of food, so you will know how
much you are eating.
Therefore, begin a diet to get fat by
