Evening star., 1936-04-05

John Stronghart is convalescing from seri-
Gus illness, Louise Lovely might send him
a very few flowers - perhaps only a single
especial flower - every day at the same hour,
and tied to it a note or message or daily
collection of clippings of whatever might
interest or amuse him. The value of this sug-
gestion, it must be acknowledged, does rather
depend upon the existence of sentiment for
her on his part. So if this is in doubt, she
might confine her efforts to clippings sent
occasionally, and only one offering of flowers
or plant.
In this same matter of sending flowers to
a man, cut ones or plants are equally suit
able. A Japanese garden is particularly good
especially if it be arranged to suggest frag-
ment of golf course rather than rock garden
in Japan.
But for the benefit of the man who would
like to give flowers to the young woman he
is taking out, but who believes that less than
half dozen gardenias would be too few to
think of, it might be we'll to explain that,
according to best taste, two gardenias worn
on an evening dress are perfection. Three
are possible only if they are very small.
On a street dress, one gardenia is correct.
Therefore, three gardenias are the very most
a really smart woman can possibly wear -
ever And yet, unless Mary manages to let
John know that two flowers are perfect
number and not thought skimpy by anyone
except ''gold-digger," the chances are likely
to remain dozen which probably means
none.
One question l have many times been
urged to ask: Why does every man take it
for granted that the only flowers possible to

send are gardeniasl Why doesn't He at least
thing else? Why can't He at some time ask
Her casually if it is true that every woman's
idea of flowers to wear begins and ends with
gardenias? And then why can't He listen to
Her answer?
add this because the other day man
asked this question and the young woman
answered that she loves violets best of all
flowers. and purple sweet peas next. Two
evenings later he was taking her to the theatre
and sent her gardenias
And now let us consider the custom offs send
ing flowers to our neighbors. There are GER
tain occasions when sending flowers is really
obligatory - flowers to the funeral of a
friend, or member of an intimate friends
family. Also it is more or less taken for grant
ed that one sends flowers to an intimate
friend who is - or has been seriously ill.
Some people are constantly sending flowers =.
others seldom do - certainly the majority
of us send them much less often than we
might.
A neighbor of mine has an enhancing habit
of sending her flowers arranged in containers
which are also donated with the flowers.
They are usually inexpensive, but her expert
eye is constantly on the lookout for small
containers becoming to flowers. Sometimes
they are of glass - black glass especially.
Some are of pottery but often they are ten
cent kitchen utensils of tin - even tin cans
and boxes from her own kitchen turned into
"tole" with the simplest amount of painting
done by herself.
She also keeps supply of dried moss and
small lead flower holders Then in winter
Evening star., 1936-04-05

she buys, or in summer she picks careful
selection of flowers, puts holder in the bot
tom of pot or bowl or box, arranges the
flowers, and then covers the holder and the
stems with soaking wet moss. Later the per-
son who receives it adds as much water as
the container can hold.
A lovely Easter present that can be afford
ed by almost every one is bowl of pebbles
in which Japanese lilies have been started.
These bought dormant, are not expensive,
and very pretty bowls at the cost of a few
cents are to be found everywhere. This, by
the way, reminds me of very real pleasure
that certain thoughtful old gentleman gives
to number of his younger neighbors every
Easter. He sends one or two flats of small
seedlings grown in his greenhouse. These are
to be kept indoors, of course, until the wealth
er permits their being transplanted in the
garden Heliotrope, snapdragons, annual
phlox and lupins are his favorite selection.
Another thoughtful PERSONS favorite gift
to young hostess, or possibly any other
young woman, is a credit account of so much
at a florists - to be used for herself or for
her house whenever she may choose. Or of
course lovely gift - but not very inexpen-
sive II is box ordered to be sent regularly
by florist every week, or even oftener.
At all events, there is scarcely any situa-
ton imaginable when flowers are not the most
suitable as we'll as the most beautiful mes
senger of friendship or sympathy or love that
can be sent And the whole point that would
like to make is that the generous giving of
personal time and thought can often over
come the flattest of pocketbooks.

NAVY ASKED FOF FOOD
SHIPS FOR HAWAII

WASHINGTON, Nov. 81. (UP)
The navy was aked yesterday
to furnish ships for carrying food
supplies to Hawaii, cut off from
regular shipments by the maritime
strike that has crippled American
commerce in the Pacific.
Officiels did not explain why
they were contemplating use of
service vessels to get food
through TO Hawaii instead of
seeking to charter private vessels
as they are doing in efforts to
ease a samilar food shortage in
Alaska.
DR.. Ernest II. Gruening, direc-
tor of the interior department di-
vision Of territories and insular
possessions, appealed to Secretary
of Navy Claude Swanson to help
avert threatened food shortage
i'm the islands.
Swanson was understood to
have promised cooperation if pos
siblc, but it was made plain the
navy department could take no
action unless specifically directed
to do so by President Roosevelt.
However. in preparation for pos
sible action, naval officials began
studying positions of their vessels
on the Paicfic coast to determine
which might be available for en-
Urgency use.
The War Department earlier
turned down n request for the
use of army transports because all
the space on available transports
is needed for shipment of army
supplies.

General Wave Of Pay In

VIRGINIA, CAROLINAS
GETTING THEIR SHARE

ATLANTA, Ca, Nov. 81 (UP)
Southern industry. led by the
great steel companies and the cot
ton textile trade is pouring a gol-
den stream Of pay increases into
the pockets of the men and wom-
en- who work for q living in the
South.
A roaring Christmas buying
spree, equaling and perhaps sur
passing records of the pre-depres-
sion era, seemed a certainty last
night as United Press survey
showed q general wave of pay in
creaseS sweeping the South.
While southern dirt farmers
sold their billion dollar crop on
l2-cent market for the most
profitable season in five years, the
workers in steel and cotton mills,
clerks in stores and white collar
men in Offices were finding q di-
rect reflection Of returning pros
perity in their pay envelopes.
Donald Conner, Birmingham,
president of the American Cotton
Manufacturers association. said
there was no organized plan IN
the textile industry to sweep up
wages. But in the Carolinas and
Virginia, pay rises announced dur
ing the past ten days hav IN
creased from 5 to Is per cent for
more than 10000 workers.
CLOTH, YARN, IN BIGGEST
BOOM IN YEARS
Veterans said the increases were
the result Of one of the biggest
booms in cloth and yarn buying
