Annals for City Gardens
Hardy Annals Prefer
To Grow in Cool Weather
By ISABEL FUCKER

THE PERSON who first APP
piled the word hardy to an
nuals was just laying out a lot
OF trouble for all the gardeners
who followed him. Hardy is a
term generally applied TO any
plant which can stand the cold
est weather in a given climate.
But ANNALS are plants that
grow from seed, bloom, produce
seed and die within one growing
season. Obviously they are not
going to live over winter. What
then, is a hardy annual! 1t is
one, the seed of which will live
over winter in the ground where
il has fallen from the plant.
Sow in Fall
This means that hardy an
nuals may be sown in the fall.
These seeds sprout in very early
spring, so give us bloom long be-
fore those that must be spring
planted. This is not to say that
the seed of hardy ANNALS may
not be planted in spring, but
since most of them prefer to
grow in cool weather, they
should be planted as soon as the
soil can be worked.
Which ANIMALS are hardy?
Sweet alyssum, bachelors but
tons (Centaurea Cyanus), orange
cosmos. larkspur, peoples, mathi-
ola (evening scented stock),
forget-me-nots and sweet peas.
Edeine Plant =
Sweet alyssum is an ideal
edging plant, and in fall or early
spring may be sown over low
growing bulbs TO cover their
browning foliage after they have
bloomed. 1t is also a first class
plant to use between stepping
stones in a path, perhaps not in
the center where people must
walk, but along the sides. Try
Lilac Queen or Little Gem.

Elegant New Cook Book

putting on top crust. Use brown
sugar in place of white sugar.
THE CHEFS SALAD at the
Algonquin is a prime favorite
with all guests and you
might like to try it sounds
like an ideal meal for some of
those hot days coming up
shortly:
Chefs Salad
All green's in season--let-
tuce, romaine, watercress
Peeled and quartered ripe
tomatoes
Sliced. hard-cooked eggs
Sliced alligator pears
Boiled ham and tongue, 2
slices each
2 slices Swiss cheese.
Wash and chill greens and
tomatoes. Prepare and put all
ingredients together in wooden
bowl. Slice ham and Swiss
cheese and tongue Julienne
(thin strips) and put on top of
the bowl.
On top of this pour the
French dressing and mix well
with salad fork and spoon.
French Dressing
The Algonquin's French dress
ing is made thus:
Three parts olive oil to l part
wine vinegar or tarragon vine
gar. This with salt, paprika
and dry mustard constitutes the
recipe. II should be well
blended and freshly made.
And we presume, MI. Case,
we add mustard TO taste
take il easy, we'd say.
Mr.. Case also adds f.. do not
chill French dressing.
THERE'S A lot more I'd like
to give you but my mouth
is watering so I'll have to
stop.

ToCounteract
Damage High
Heels Do :
By IDA JEAN KAN

TOE DANCERS have learned
better, but the average woman
teeters along with her calf mus
cles contracted so much of the
time that by the age of 35 or 40
her legs are not only out of
shape but are not much good
TO her.
The toe dancers have learned
It pays to balance muscular con-
traction with stretching and
they make a habit Of finishing
the practice routines with few
tap steps, or leg shaking or
stretching exercises.
Your career probably doesn't
demand that you be on your
toes much of the time. Merely
shifting to low-heeled shoes for
heavy work OF long hours of
standing and walking will BEN
eft your legs.
Leg Stretchers
But, even so, you need a few
specific leg stretchers. They
will make your legs feel good
at the time and will help you to
keep the nice. smoothly tapered
, line.
Certainly, you can count on
them to prevent the ugly. jutting
line at the back of the leg which
comes from over-contraction. Do
your legwork without stockings
or shoes.
Here is an exercise you will
like. Stand facing the wall, fore
head against wall, your body in
a straight line. Then. without
removing the head from the wall
or lifting the heels off the floor,
slide feet backward AS you do
so, keep the back perfectly
straight.
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1942-04-20
FIexibility Test

Reverse your position and you
can also stretch the front mus
cles of legs and toes. Now, stand
with back to wall, back of head
against il.
Then, with toes pointed
straight ahead. walk forward
without curling toes or removing
the head from the wall. While
doing this exercise and the. pre-
ceding one, do not try to move
the legs more than four short
steps.
Just as a test Of hexibility,
sit on the floor with legs straight
out in front, and see whether
you can press the backs of the
knees fat against the floor. If
you can't, you're already be-
ginning to creak!
Leg Strefeher
Make daily practice of Sit
ting in that position until you
are able TO flatten the backs of
the knees against the floor.
From there, you can 60 on to
more effective leg stretcher.
Holding the legs straight, lean
forward until you are able to
grasp the toes in the hands and
pull them toward you, hard,
without letting knees come off
the floor. Relax, rest and pull
again. But take IL easy. Don't
try TO do more than you are
equal TO doing.
That program won't take more
than five minutes a day and 1t
is we'll worth five times that to
any woman who wears high
heeled shoes.

Apples Accent
.wo-Piece
Costume
BY JOAN DEAN

NO APPLE SAUCE to the
statement that this Is your Sun
day-go-to-meeting dress. your
date-with-a-uniform ensemble.
For il has a dressy dignity with
a lady-like sparkle, with prac-
teal points a-plenty.
Both dress and redingote are
red rayon crepe, tuned up with
green leather apples at the
shoulder and green apple bios
som buttons. Also may be had
in the reverse green with
red touches.
These Christmas colors for
spring and summer are a new
idea on the part OF Lady
Fashion but the public Is talk
ing TO IL. Perhaps they're
natures colors, too as in the
big red apple on a branch.
AS THE TEMPERATURE
rises to high points, the redin-
cote will replace wool coats over
print and pastel frocks. It's
almost a dress in itself, with its
fiared skirt and tucking at
pockets and shoulder pads.
Concealed underneath Is a
Wrecked princess style dress,
belted only in the back for a
slimming, unbroken line In
front. The center bodice is
horizontally tucked in a fiatter-
ing manner. Leaves opportunity
sSQr some knockout pieces Of
welry.
The matching picture hat Is
brimmed in braided straw and
crowned in crocheted mesh.
We linked this outfit with the
lifting melody Of Don't Sit
Under the Apple Tree"
thinking you might be taken for
an apple.
APPRECIATE fancy trim

We noted with a chuckle that,
after our own fashions met the

were decreed TO wear barrels.
some one would soon decorate

he puts her in a flared-at-the-

yet.

FROM The PEN or FRANK
Case, owner and manager of. the
Algonquin Hotel in New York,
comes a third book about the
famous hosiery. The first, you
may recall, was Tales of a
Hayward Inn" the second,
DO Not Disturb"
The Algonquin is noted for
the celebrities that have lived
and eaten there for dozens of
years. Notables, says the au-
thor, are after all just people
and their tastes simple {.
most of them prefer good honey
dishes such as lamb stew, yege-
table soup and apple pie.
Best in World
That American cooking at its
best is superior TO the cooking
in other countries, he adds, is
accounted for by the fact that
in the United States cooking
and supervision Of the home

and commendable activities.
American women, he says, do
not consider it disgrace 10 go
into the kitchen in France,
for instance, they will take in a
boarder If need be to pay
one or two servants to do the
cooking.
The book is devoted to recipes
the Algonquin considers its best
. .. favorites over a long period
Of years of guests who like
good food. Some of the recipes
come from old friends of the inn
others are those of Chef
Schmuck.
WELL. HERE'S the Algon-
gums recipe for apple pie:
Apple Pie

plate, leaving about half an inch
of extra pastry around the edge.
Fill this with the prepared
apples and crate on them the
lemon peel. Mix sugar. CHINA
mon and nutmeg and sprinkle
over apples. Put Jumps of but
ter here and there.
Roll out balance Of dough and
perforate with fork in several
places. Lay on top of apple fill
ing and press around edge of

Other Suggestions


nicely from fall-sown seed and
blooms earlier than If sown in
spring. Try planting some now
for brilliant color and good cut
ting.
LarkSpurs are by far the stur-
diest when grown from fall-sown
seed. Planting in very early
spring gives the next best plants.
While they may easily be trans
planted, the finest blooms are
from plants grown from seed in
the spot they are to bloom.
Annual poppies may be fall
sown, or sown on snow in De-
cember for very early bloom.
They must be planted where
they are to bloom and may OF
course be spring sown too. They
make a good marker for bulbs.
BY sowing two crops sounds
like vegetables one after an
other, you can have bloom all
summer and certainly few flow
ers are more fragilly lovely than
annual poppies in the garden.

Soap, Water
Will Liven
Dull Skin
By DONNA GRACE

THE SCHOOL girl complexion
should be one of roses and
lilies but in some instances
there is much to be desired in
this youthful beauty. We will
try to offer reminders to the
few who are not satisfied with
their own school girl complexion.
The worst fault is, of course.
blemished skin, but even with
out those annoying spots, cheeks
show roughness, and scaly dry
ness. Then another fault is the
dull, gray tint that may or may
not include the other two faults.
Scrub Well
This gray, dull skin is the re-
suit of neglect, soap and water
properly used will remove the
trouble. We know every young
girl is careful to wash her face
every morning and evening but
unless she Is thorough about it
the result will not be good.
1t takes time toxwash healthy
young skin; first have a clean
wash cloth then use warm wa
ter and enough soap to make q
good creamy lather. Wash well
around the mouth, nose and
ears. be sure to include the back
of the neck and hairline. You
can't do this well when dressed
and that is the reason we say
let morning and before going to
bed be the times for this thor
ough operation. Don't forget the
forehead even though you must
wrap your hair in a towel to
protect waves and curls.
Rinse Thoroughly
When done well IL will take
about three minutes and this is
only half of 1t, rinsing is most
important. Use plenty of clear
water for this and continue to
rinse until the skin is as smooth
as satin. Dry well with fresh
towel.
Girls who really take time to
follow this procedure every
morning and night will not have
dull compilations.
Dry scaly condition can be
corrected with the same treat.
ment followed by a light appli-
cation of cream. Dryness in
usually due to either improper
drying or soap film left on the
surface. Older women may lack
natural oil in the skin but young
girls do not have this problem.
Watch Temples
We have always noticed that
when a girl takes time TO keep
her hair beautifully clean and
sparkling she Is not likely TO
neglect her skin grooming. Do
be careful about the hairline,
eruptions and pimplcs here fire.
quently leave scars that last for
weeks after the eruption leaves.
Even when there are no blem-
ishes, scales and itching will be
the result OF permitting soap
and dust TO clog under the hair.
We know this regular care
will prevent nearly all young
skin problems but when there
are unsightly blemishes don't
neglect them. Most physicians
tell us that nearly all Of this
type of skin infection Is on I'm
surface so don't feel you must
take a lot OF medicine for IL.
