The Old Gardener Says:

Not infrequently garden makers
find it advisable to cover their
grape vines with fly screening
to protect the grapes from insect
pests, as well as from birds.
Oftentimes bees are blamed for
blemished grapes because they
are seen flying around them. The
fact is, though. that the bees
never attack the grapes until
they have been bitten into by
birds. Bees have no beaks or
other apparatus by which they
could puncture the skins, but
they are attracted by the sweet
Juice when it oozes out. Birds
often prey on grapes, and the
netting will keep them away.
One method by which to have
perfect grapes is to bag them.
This, of course, is a much later
operation, but it is worth keeping
in mind. 1t is done by tying
paper bags from the grocery store
around the best punches, which
develop beautifully inside the
bags.

pected to buy q black lace dress but my
daughter tells me that this would not
do to wear in the morning. I have
navy blue sheer suit but didn't
think that would be dressy enough to
wear to wedding Of this type in town.
Will you tell me about my clothes?
Answer-It is impossible to answer
because I haven't seen your clothes,
but if your sheer blue dress Is in
style and well cut, it couldn't be more
suitable with becoming blue hat and
accessories to go with it. I agree with
your daughter, that lace would not
be very suitable in the morning.
Dear Mrs. Post: On previous grad
uation days at our high school the
girls wore simple evening dresses and
the boys dark sack suits. But the

Answer-The only rule Is that the
groom and the best man should be
dressed alike and that the ushers
shall also be dressed like each other.
The father Of the bride need not be
dressed the same as either of these.
Properly, he wears a cutaway coat,
striped trousers, white ascot tie Cor
else a grey or a black and white
four-in-hand, If he prefers. He
wears white stiff shirt and a wing
collar and a white boutonniere. And
he wears light grey or white gloves,
as he prefers. Your mother should
wear an afternoon dress Of any style
and color that is becoming to her, and
a hat to match, Of course. Black,
however, is rather unsuitable.

From ali disturbance free

Makes dreams new color take.

TRUE BLUE" runs the old English
proverb, will never stain"
For hundreds of years the phrase
true blue" has been used figuratively
to characterize a person who was
faithful. staunch, unwavering in his
or her principles, affections or faith.
Why this expression came to be
employed in connection with that
which is sterling, genuine and real
is easily understandable.
The allusion is to the constant, I'M
changing, steadfast color of the sky,
which, regardless of atmospheric
vicissitudes eventually reveals itself
as true blue"
