possible for Greyhound and other bus

To aid in this wartime task, Greyhound
for many months has asked travellers,
whenever possible, to plan their trips for
periods when buses are less crowded
BY accepting this and other practical
suggestions, you have helped to keep

husbands that they wanted to begin
with instead of taking the off,
chance of being able to alter some
thing that doesn't hit their taste
into something nearer to their
hearts desire?
For it isn't that they were so
blind that they couldn't see what
they were getting or so stupid that
they let the party of the other part
befool them into making a bad bar
gain. No. They knew what they
were doing well enough and were
perfectly aware of the risk they were
taking. 1t is only because that deep
down in our souls is a deathless
passion for reforming things that Is
stronger than common sense and
prudence and the longing for Sc
curity.
Now changing people is Gods busi-
ness. 1t is task too big for our
fumbling hands and when we try 1t
we bungle the job. For by the time
men and women are old enough to
marry their tastes and habits are
formed and any one interferes with
them at their peril.
Yet there is no other one thing
in the world, not drunkenness
nor infidelity, nor trif1ingness, that
causes SO much domestic misery and
wrecks SO many homes as this mania
that so many husbands and wives
have for cutting each other over
according to their own little blue
print of what the other should be

Living Christmas Trees

puppy dog, you are pretty sure to
keep your tree healthy. Then, in
stead Of placing 1t out of doors in
freezing weather, wait for a mild
period. Be even smarter by putting
it IN the garage or other cool area
for a week or two before trusting it
outside. Prepare the ground ac-
cording to the instructions which
come with your live tree, remove it
from It's tub and set it in the place
in your garden where you wish 1t
to grow. Give 1t plenty of room,
because the chances are, If you have
given 1T this type Of care, 1t will
thrive to ripe old age.
You may take the children and
go right to the growing yards here
In town. to pick out your tree. They
will find it as exciting a Christmss
spree as going to see Santa Claus.
Whether your choice Is spruce. fir
or any other evergreen, the indi-
vldual characteristics of each tree
are as interesting on close examina-
tion as those Of the various puppies
In the pet shop. A stocky silver
needed fir, perfect in shape, has an
independent, sturdy air about it. A
delicate, feathery hemlock has an en-
tirely different character. They are
lovely enough to be effective un-
adorned. We suggest a star for the
top and a busting Of artificial snow
as a complete expression of the
spirit of Christmas.
Then when the holiday season is
past, the whole family can take up
the subject Of the care and feeding
OF Christmas trees and continue
the fun throughout the year.

fowl, vegetables. salads, pastry, etc.
Neither do I have time to clip all
the grand recipes from the Clearing
House every day, but it doesn't take
second to drop the whole page
into the magazine rack and then
when do have time 60 over the
accumulated pages and clip the ones
1 want. I try to do the clipping at
least twice a week.
After the desired recipes have been
clipped they are placed behind the
appropriate card guide. After they
have been tried and proved, they are
pasted on plain card and so find a
permanent place in my filing box.
In this way can weed out the un-
desirables, even though they have
been clipped; undesirable Of course
only because of the divergence in
human nature and eating tastes, not
because there's anything wrong with
the specific recipe
Personally, I like my card index
system better than a booklet or
cook book. There are never more
than four recipes on a card (more
generally only two). They lie fat
on the kitchen table when in use; a
booklet probably wouldn't without
being weighted on either side. Aside
from the extra amount of time re-
quired to compile booklet 1'm
sure we're all grateful to The Star
for the Clearing House as it is
without expecting its Woman's Page
editor to be burdened with additional
work. and the additional paper lis
there still paper shortage?). I
think the most important argument
for the card index system and
against the booklet form is that the
card index system is so much ones
very own. Because OF the discrimi-
nate choosing Of the recipes, it has
that personal touch that no booklet
ever could attain.
If you're still with me, may I offer
favorite salad recipe that is a
sood way to utilize leftover vege-
tables.
Two hard-cooked eggs, diced; y
cup cooked green beans, | cup
diced celery, l tablespoon chopped
onion, 2 tablespoons chopped pic
kles. Is teaspoon paprika. ]. tea
spoon salt, 2 tablespoons chopped
pimentos, tablespoon salad dress

Mix and chill ingredients. Serve
on lettuce leaves. Cooked peas or

beans. Serves four.

will 1t live? Will it really grow
for me?" Is the question every one
asks. The answer to that Is that it
will thrive In proportion to the care
you give 1t, just as the family pets
or the children will with proper
attention. If you bring a tree which
has been living outside into a warm
house it is reasonable to suppose
that summer conditions make the
sap begin to rise. This will use up
all the moisture from the roots, and
If you forget to water the soil the
shock Of cold, freezing weather to
sap-filled branches and dry roots Is
likely to be too much. But If you

Farm Dinner
De Luxe

When there is Just one lamb chop
for each person, but few vegetables
are to be found, an interesting COM
bination called "a farm dinner" Is
put together like this:
In the center Of each plate place
the chop. Or it may be an indi-
vidual sausage cake instead of a
chop. Running from the meat in
the center place four or five quarter
slices Of carrots-that is, one largish
carrot cut in quarters lengthwise.
These make the spokes of a wheel.
Between these spokes place different
vegetables - fried potatoes. green
peas, brussels sprouts, string beans,
diced turnip, red cabbage whatever
may be at hand.
This Is an especially interesting
and wholesome meal for the chill
dren though the entire family will
enjoy 1t. And following it may be
richer dessert, so we think of
plump apple dumplings.

There Is nothing more inexplicable
than that both men and women
marry with the set determination
of making their husbands and wives
over as soon as they get them home
Nowhere else in life do reasonably
human beings make this same curl
Gus and ghastly mistake.
Poor young men marry spend
thrift girls who would rather be
dead than not keep up with the
Jonseses. Highly educated men
marry girls who never read any
thing but the beauty hints and the
society column in the newspapers
Domestic men marry gadabouts
Ambitious men marry dull, stupid
uncouth women who are milestone
about their necks. Men marry high
tempered girls with whom they have
quarreled all during their court
ship.
And women do precisely the same
things. Thousands of girls marry
men who they know to be drunk
ards, or women chasers, or lazy,
shiftless ne'er-do- wells. Thousands
of girls with champagne tastes
marry boys with cold-water pocket
books. Thousands of girls who are
college graduates marry men who
commit mayhem upon their mother
tongue every time they open their
mouths to speak.
And the unfathomable mystery is
why do they do it. Why did they
not pick out the kind of wives and

This is the year for live Christ
mas tree, 1t hts right into the
whole plan OF this Christmas better
than ever before. When trees were
plentiful, time didn't matter, trans
portation was taken for granted,
we all bought our traditional tree,
kept it in the house till the needles
began to fall, and then threw it
out-with a bit OF heartache that
that which was once so lovely Is
no more.
This year we wouldn't have a big
tree even il we could get 1T because
We are going to use less lighting
and not waste money on decora-
tions. At the present time we abhor
any investment which Is only for
the moment. and which takes essen
tial time, effort and wheels, only to
be gone tomorrow.
There Is something essentially
right about live tree for Christmas,
l943, which may be planted in the
garden when the holiday is over, to
grow and flourish as the years 20
on. They are lovely enough to need
very little decoration. They smell
"just out OF the forest" keeping
alive all our traditional sentiments,
and later when the new buds begin
to come out, the JOY of watching
the tree grow makes up for all the
years you watched the cut tree
dry up and wither.
There Is great difference be-
tween the forest trees you dig up
and plant in the garden and the
spruce or fir which has been brought
up from a seeding, learning how to
be transplanted, and live. Seeds are
planted 6 inches apart. At years,
they are dug. roots trimmed and re-
set 2 feet apart. Later they are
redug, roots and tops trimmed and
reset again. BY the time they are
ready for shipment the roots are
strong and healthy and tops are
sturdy. They are then taken up.

rounding the roots, bagged with
burlap and shipped from the grow
ing nursery to their future en-
vironment. Sturdy frees from the
woods of Maine must learn to accli-
mate themselves to Washington
With intelligent care, trees which
have been brought up to stand these
changes will not suffer from several
weeks indoors and then a perma-
nent place in the garden outside.
But the care is essential.

They're the people with whom we're
havlng Christmas dinner-or they

wish them merry Christmas with

EARRINGS, OF COURSE-You
can't miss this year If you give her
pair of earrings. No matter what
her shape, size or age, every last
Eve wants earrings. They can
be either big gift or little gift,
depending on what you pay. The
trick is. though, to find some that
cost little but look like lot more
So, delightedly, we report that you
can still pick up some honeys for no
more than dollar. We particularly
like the wedding band ear clips
wide silver bands, chased in a pretty
pattern. At the same shop large

double dahlias are very effective
bit of ear frippery for dollar. For
the girl who wears tailored clothes
there are great discs of goldlike
metal and also bowknots that would
tie up her Christmas very prettily.
PRETTY SHOE SAVERS-With
shoes counted among her most
precious possessions, every woman is
pampering her shoes these days
and we can't think of anything she
would like better than some heart
shaped shoe pads we saw in one of
the shops. Made of quilted rayon
satin, they come in range of colors
that includes pink, blue. dark green,
red, wine and brown. They're sup
posed to fit any sized Cinderella
SO size is no problem.

PRETTY GAY TRIFLE-Help her
dress up her dressing table by
giving her mirrored plaque with a
handsome hobnail edge. She'll use
1t for lipsticks, pins or other miscel-
lany when she's not using it for
bottle.
ONE ON THE HOUSE-Appeal to
the hostess in her with a dainty box
full of guest powder puffs. There's a
little polka dotted circle of cello
phane box filled with pastel puffs
that you can buy for slim quarter
and so pretty she'd never guess it.
There are more elaborate guest-puff
assortments for slightly more money
but puffs are always a nice re-
membrance. Oz-you can pay
tribute to her feminity by giving her
just one lovely big powder puff-a
huge, fluffy, woody affair crowned
with big ribbon bow.
