BY ALINE MICHAELIS
THIS YEAR
All the years that went before
Were no kin to this.
Years a dozen, years a score
Brought their ache, their bliss;
Springtime's rain and summers
rose,
Autumn'S vivid sheaf,
Then, beneath the drifting
SHOWS,
Fallen leaf on leaf.
Though time, this year as Of
old,
Brought the usual round,
Earth in green and earth In
gold,
Something new I found!
This one is a year apart,
Different from the rest;
Though it's change is in the
heart
Beating in my breast.
Filled with known, accustomed
things,
This years pageant1y;
But a blithe, new heart which
sings
It has brought to me!

There is no healthier exer-
else for a man who has been
chained to an office desk, or
driving vehicles through smoky
traffic all week, than to spend
part of his weekend digging,
IN the spring sunlight, putting
into use all those muscles that
are idle during the other days.
AS for the ladies'! what a
chance to work off any extra
poundage, and attain 1.-the
movements, and slim outlines!
Gardening is also beneficial to
those who, for some reason or
other, are unable to avail them
selves Of more strenuous exer-
cises, for it can be done as
slowly. and gently as one
wishes.
At Small Cost
It has been my experience
that most gardening sugges-
tions involve too great initial
expense to the average person,
and it is the intention Of this
column to show how the city
or suburban front or back yard
may be turned into a beauty
spot at very small cost indeed,
by using the simplest imple-
ments, least expensive good
fertilizers, and cheap, but
healthy plants and seeds.
Mr.. Wolcott Clarke Wagga-
man, noted architect, has con-
Sented to do a series Of
sketches Of suggestions for
small gardens, taking the aver
age sized city yard as his
working base.
These may be altered to fit
individual requirements, as,

Dear Miss Fairfax:
I'm II years old. senior In .

girl friends, and no boy friends
at all. We are poor and I don't
dress well. can't talk well,
even with a group Of girls. I
suppose r lack personality.
My class organized a club, and
I was conspicuously left out. The
club members make fun Of me
to the one or two friends I have,
and I'm afraid I'm going to lose
one very dear friend, because
these girls are trying to get her
to join the club. Her people are
rich; mine are poor and hard.

Shall I pretend I'm not inter

A DISCOURAGED CHILD.
From what you tell me, and
I've not written the half Of it,
these girls lack SportSmanShip.
School clubs are apt to be
cliquiSh, and I'm not going to
minimize the effect on sensitive
girls and boys, who are not in
vited to join them. I like to
think these club organizers do
not realize how cruel they can
be. They are cruel and snob-
bish, both Of which are pitiful
and old-fashioned faults.
Stumbling a girl because she is
poor, and dressed less well than
the others, revertS to the law Of
the pack, which rends the de-
fenseless.
Make friends outside Of this
Snobbish school. Do better class.
work than the club members,
and make something of your.
self.
Cultivate a new line. In.
tereSt yourself in something
worth while; take up music,
dancing, dramatics, painting,
commercial art-something that
will stay by you when their lit

and making faces, is, like
other symptoms of near-child-
hood, forgotten.

Dear Miss Shelby:

Dear Miss Shelby:
Under my eyes have dark
shadows and little white dots.
Will you please tell me how to
become rid Of them?
I would like to know what is
good for black heads.
Sincerely, r. M.
Dear Miss r. M:
Dark shadows around the
eyes, and white dots, may be
the result of poor circulation.
Try to get more outdoor eXer'
else, more rest and sleep. Watch
your diet and elimination-this
is important.
When you have time for rest
and relaxation, drench pads Of
cotton with witch hazel, or cold
tea, and place over your eyes.
This is restful and will temper.
arily relieve the shadows around
your eyes.
Eye and Mouth Wrinkles
Dear Miss Shelby:
Will you please tell me OF a
treatment for wrinkles around
the eyes and mouth?
Mrs. N. R.
Dear Mrs. N. r.:
To correct lines around the
mouth and eyes you need a good
nourishing cream. At night just
before retiring cleanse face and
neck with cream. Remove with
tissues, then apply nourishing
cream around eyes very gently,
beginning at the inner upper
corners, using a circular move
ment around the eyes, back to
the nose. Then tap lightly with
finger tips all around the eyes.
Apply nouriShing cream to
neck and face. Then place
thumbs under chin, and with
the first two fingers Of each
hand, work toward the corners
Of the mouth and to center over
mouth. using a definite lifting
movement. Tap briskly with
back Of hands under the con-
tour, finishing with an aStrin-
gent or cold water.

One warning for this week:
Be careful of soil that comes
into town just about now and
supposed to be So-called black

but highly beneficial coating Of
oil to the surface of the nails.
Another point in its favor is
its economy, for the bottle holds
almost twice as much liquid as
its predecessors and doesn't
cost a penny more. In addition
to that, this oily remover has
far less tendency to evaporate
than the usual kind. And for
this I, who have naturally brit
tie nails anyway, am devoutly
thankful!

Small Bouquets Best
Two orchids, or perhaps one;
q couple Of gardenias, a neat
bouquet of roses or lilies of the
valley, or q boutonniere are in
better taste, any of them, than
the gigantic front-covers that
we used to wear.
We are wearing flowers now
much more than we have for
some years. There's an appro-
pirate corsage or bouquet for
every costume, and, of course,
fresh flowers are always prefer

ter how lovely the latter are.
It's almost impossible to wear
artificial flowers on the street,
though they are permissible in
the evening.
New Orchid Out
AS navy is the leading street
color at the moment, you will
see many orchids worn tomor-
row. Of course, lavendar and
mauve orchids are lovely with
navy, but there's also a new
orchid out, called Athena"
which will seem even more suit

It has clear beautiful, magenta
petals and a deep purple velvet
lip. It is correctly worn with

with black as well as with green.

It's new to pin a small flower

positively no risk that his partner
would leave him in the double of one

the more likely that this would be a

might be the only way to get the con-
tract at five clubs. Again, it seemed
certain that the openers partner had

However, I must also tell you that

that the partner will leave the double

a two-trick doubled penalty will be

the forcing overcall for this purpose,
they leave the partner free to leave

NEW RE|CHSB|SHOP
DEF|ED BY C[ER|CS
Conservation of Mueller De
cIared "ShamefuI" by
His Church Foes.

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN, September pa new
show of opposition was one answer
today to the conservation of Reichs-
bishop Ludwig Mueller as supreme
head of the German church.
Dissident clergymen, while Mueller
was being installed here, read de-
fiant declaration which called his
conservation "the concluding act of
development which must fill all
Christians with deep shame and sor-
row."
Bishop Mueller" the statement
said, "Dr. August Jaeger (commls-
sioner of Protestant churches in
Prussia) and their followers have di-
vorced themselves from the Christian
community, abandoned the bases of
the Christian church and have for
feited all rights thereto"
Mueller and Jaeger were accused
of "heresy" in that "by setting aside
the confessions of faith they seek to
establish a German national church
with Germanic faith characteristics. -
Opposition clergymen are fighting
Mueller's sweeping DEGREES, which
they interpret to be leading to one
national church. He has suspended
many diSsident pastors and has es-
tablished himself as a dictator of the
Protestant Church.
Seven of the Protestant bishops
participating in yesterdays ceremony,
garbed in church robes, raised their
arms in Nazi salute to Mueller-an
innivation in Lutheran liturgical
practice.
