that he'll remodel" her.
Most young men think of mar
riage as vaguely and hazily as
they think of next New Years
Day; that's why they always
look so astonished and dazed
when they find themselves walk
ing to the altar about this time
of year.
A MAN seldom deliberately
hands a girl the key to his heart.
these days; he waits until some
enterprising young thing comes
along and picks the lock. Then
he complains unreasonably that
marriage is a gamble!
II is a mistake TO waste your
time and glamour on a married
man; because a man is seldom
so blinded by a girls charms
that he can't find his way back
to his wife's protecting arms,
when the affair begins 10 look
like an ENHANCEMENT.
NO MATTER how often or
how insistently a man may have
asked a girl TO marry him, MOTH
ing will convince him. after mar
riage, that she did not use
sleight of hand work to make
him do it.
When a girl marries, half her
friends clap their hands and the
other half shake their heads;
when she gets a divorce they
simply change sides.
TO THE average girl, there is
nothing final about mans state
of single blessedness. until she
sees il announced in his obituary.
Yet a bachelor never under
stands, why girl just smiles
and smiles. when he tells her
that he is not "a marrying man"
- and goes right on cheerfully
filling her hope chest.
Conservatism is that over
stuffed feeling. which steals over
a man, when he has had too
much of anything--food. money
or love.

Give Plants
This Type Of
treatment
BY ISABEL FUCKER
Detroit Times Garden Editor


AFTER THE winter period Of
very little growth, house plants
are beginning 10 show signs of
awakening in form of new green
shoots. This means it's time
for the owner of the plants to
get into action.
Take an hour or two off
(time depending on how many
house plants you own to give
them a thorough going over and
be rewarded in greatly increased
growth.
First remove all dead leaves
and stems. These leaves may
be picked off by hand but for
the stems use sharp shears,
preferably a pair of tin ships,
which will cut through all but
the heaviest stems.
Rake Top Soil
Next, using an old fork and
spoon as rake and spade re-
spectively, spade up the top soil
and rake il smooth. Now add a
half teaspoonful of a complete
fertilizer sprinkling it around
the edge of the pot and using
your tiny rake to mix il with
the top soil. Lastly, water the
plant thoroughly.
This whole process Is well
repe led in 10 days right
through the spring season until
the weather is warm enough for
the plant TO go in the garden for
the summer-and If it is to re-
main in the house all summer,
then continue until fall.
Size Of Pot
If there is a question OF
whether or not plant needs a
large pot, turn pot and plant up
side down with the fingers of
one hand holding the plant near
the top of the pot, and the other
hand h olding the pot itself.
Knock the edge of the pot gently
against a table or shelf and the
w h ole plant, soil and all. will
come out into your hand. If the
roots are all around the outside
Of the soil thickly and evenly
distributed ii is time TO shift the
plant usually TO the next size
larger pot which will be one inch
wider across the opening.
Watering
Plants will need more water
as the growth starts. Just how
much TO give TO each one will de-
pend on the individual plant. Re-
member that all the soil in the
pot. not just the top half-inch,
needs TO be wet, but not sopping.
The best way to tell if a plant
needs water is 10 knock il out of
the pot as described above and
look at the soil.
The best method of watering
is to stand the pot in a dish of
water and leave il there until
the soil on top turns dark and
moist, at which time you will
know that all the soil is damp.
Remove it from the dish and do
not give il any more water until
the top soil becomes dry TO the
touch.

typical orb-web It consists of an
irregular network of lines stretched
behind the orb. There is always
a barrier web and sometimes It Is
built on each side of the orb. It
Is believed that the barrier web
serves as a screen or protection to
the builder. The garden spider does
not have trapline. She hangs on
the hub of her web during the day
time and when disturbed drops to
the ground or races off on the lines
of her web These lines are sup
ported by plant stems. When all
is serene again she returns to her
watch tower at the hub.
Miranda aurantia attracts atten-
ton on account of her large size.
brilliant coloring and the beauty
Of her web. She may measure an
inch or more in length-the abund-
ance Of food governing her girth.
Over her BODY there are spots and
bands of bright orange. Her cepha-
lothorax Is clothed in fine silvery
hairs. The ground color of her cos
tune is black, which is an excellent
contrast for her orange decorations.
The mate Of this handsome crea-
ture is a small fellow. about one
fourth as long. a yellowish brown in
color with broad brown band along
the middle Of his back and on each
side zigzag band of white. Dur
ing courtship days, the males desert
their small webs and move in on
their ladvlove's property. Usually.
you will see the male on the barrier
web.
During the late summer and au-
tumn these spiders do their share
of catching grasshoppers. It is
we'll worth while to observe Miranda
as she trusses up her giant jumper
which Is doing his best to get away.
In autumn Miranda constructs her
lovely pear-shaped egg sac. Some
have been found as big as hickory
nut. This Is suspended among the
branches of some shrub or weed. an
chored with strong cables of silk.
so that the winds of winter cannot
dislodge it. Within this shelter the
young spiders pass the winter.

that persists about these workers
should be once and for all wiped
out of thought. The only one to
avoid annoying or pushing around is
the Black Widow, and her poison
, has been given more power than it
really has. There is no reason in
the world to fear this spider; avoid
her dark, musty haunts, and If she
Is known to occupy your premises,
take steps to make her vacate.
Spiders are famous bridge build
ers. weavers, balloonists. divers.
snare-setters-too interesting for
nature lovers to miss. With a vic
tory garden on your mind, there is
every reason for encouraging all
assistants. What many gardeners
are going to learn this summer is
that insects are endowed with a
sixth sense of locating growing vege-
tables. Spiders are thrifty hunters.
They keep their surplus meat wrap
ped in silk and add to their supply
while the hunting Is favorable.

The police had it all doped out yesterday. You see, they knew that this Grady was in with a Chicago gang on Kidnapping But he got cold feet and welched on his pals. The police thought one of the gang had trailed him l here and killed him in revenge l I nodded eXcitedly.
 But they had it doped wrong" Madison went on. That deputy 1 just told me over the phone that they've had word from the Chi cago police. They've rounded up every member of the gang that pulled the Kidnapping and not one lof the could have been within two hundred miles of this place when Grady I-as killed"
 So we were back at the begin ming again.
 I got stiffly to my feet. Would you mind coming back to the house with me?"
 Clint Mattison walked silently beside me. His hand was firm be- meath my arm and his voice gentle when he told me to take care not to slip on the stepping stones as we crossed the creek. I lifted the skirt of my long black dinner dress above the dew wet grass and pre- ceded him up the slope of lawn toward the terrace. saw that the living room and the library

must have given Clint Madison khe shock of his life running in that way with my hair flying and my eyes wild,
 finally managed to say that somebody had bumped into me on the path through the woods and frightened me.
 Mattison stood up quickly.
 You don't know who it wasp"
 No. I thought everybody else was in the house when left"
 He went over to his desk that was piled untidily with papers and books and yanked open a drawer and brought out flashlight and a gun.
 What are you going to do?" I gasped.
 Have a look around before they get away"
 I was out of the chair with one jump and had told of his arm You're not going to leave me here alone"
 You'll be safe enough Lock the door"
 "No-no."
 He shook my hand of his arm and turned briskly to the phone I heard him ds- central for the county police headquarters. As soon as he got a connection he began to tell someone about me running into somebody in the woods. Then he listened for awhile and funny expression came over his face.
 He looked rather foolish when he turned back to me,
 Lets call your house, Mrs. Kraik, and see if one of the family or the servants isn't out Maybe it was someone just taking a walk ir. the woods"
 I was beginning to get my senses back. "No-please don't. I don't want them to know I'm here"
 Madison looked at me In pe- culiar way. I know now what must have passed for the first time through his mind then. But, of course, he saio nothing to me about it.
 Tt must have been somebody from the house." agreed, wishing he'd quit looking at me that way.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1943-06-12

I'm jittery because of what hap pened yesterday. That's why I lost my head. Let's forget 1t. Do you know what I came to see you about?"
 He shut his mouth slowly and sat down in chair across the hearth from me and waited for me to go on.
 T came to talk to you about the man who was killed yesterday. You see, he's an eX-convict and he's been mixed up in all kinds of crime And the police will wonder how he happened to be at our place when he was killed"
 Clint Madison nodded his head. They do. That chief deputy was over here this morning asking all sorts of questions about you folks" !"
 I swallowed hard.
 Well, you see how it is" I spread my hands in a helpless ges- ture and looked appealingly into his eyes We don't want to be mixed up in lot of newspaper scandal. - thought if you-you write detective stores if you would investigate - for us, that is ."
 You mean you want me to try and find out who killed Derek Grady?"
 l nodded my head
 "WheW" He let out the word with a long breath and his friendly grin tugged at his mouth. That's big order, Mrs Kraik. At that I wouldn't mind trying it."
 He stared at the wall behind me for a moment. Maybe you'd better start off by telling me all you know about this Derek Grady"
 had no intention of doing that, but it wouldn't hurt to tell him as much as I had the police. So l told him about Derek being my housekeeper's grandson.
 You believe then that he came to his grandmother for help?'
