REFERENCE BOOK ON
GARDENING
From Mrs. c. d. T., Chevy Chase,
Md
Mrs. D. H. G., Alexandria, asks
for good book on gardening. I
have a large garden and have two
books have found quite useful. One
is "A Concise Dictionary of Garden
ing" which seems to list in its 500
pages of fine print every flower that
ever grew, with the proper pronun-
citation of same
The author is A. J. Maeself and it
is put out by the Garden City Pub
fishing Co., Inc, New York, with a
good many illustrations.
The other book is entitled The
Garden Month by Month";" by Mabel
Cabot Sedgwick. 1t is profusely
illustrated in lovely black and white
pictures and beginning with March
and going through September, it
gives you world of information In
more than 500 pages of almost
everything that could be raised in
America in these months. If these
old books can be found I suggest

COMMENT.
From r. W., Arlington, Va
In regard to the discussion on
Mothers Day, I'd like to see all
commercial gift days eliminated.
Mothers Day. Fathers Day, Easter
gifts. Valentines Day, etc, were all
thought up to help Ye Little Gift
Shoppes. 1 believe we all have
sufficient birthdays, anniversaries,
etc, which are personal and at
which time gift means more. 1
refuse to let any one give me a gift
on any of the commercial gift
giving days.
TRAVEL WITH CHILDREN.
From Mrs. N. J. r., Landouer
Hills, Nd
To the lady planning a trip with
two babies. II a vacation is what
you are looking forward to please
take my advice and stay home I
am the wife of a naval officer and
therefore have done a great deal of
travelling with one baby now 10
months. Our last trip was from
California when the baby was Is
and believe me never want
to 60 through that again. The baby
was good and we had the whole back
seat fixed up for him, but, oh my,
what an ordeal! Tourist cabins and
hotel rooms are hopelessly crowded
and one must stop driving and start
looking for place to stop before
pm. There are so many foods and
clothes to be carried for just one
child that packing and repacking
the car takes great deal of time.
We were exhausted by the time we
reached Washington, nine days. and
our child was a nervous wreck I
can't imagine how you people would
feel with two babies and all riding
in the front seat.
II, after this Forwarding, you de-
eide to take the trip anyway l would
suggest speaking to your doctor
about one of the prepared baby
milks which has the sugar in it. BY
using this you would just have to
add the water. We always carry a
bottle of sterile water for our little
fellow. On three-day trip by train
one time, I bought enough cheap
bottles for all feelings, boiled them
and filled with correct amount of
sterile water. At feeding time I
opened a fresh can of milk and add
ed correct amount. After feeding
discarded bottle and can making the
food load lighter. 1 also carried the
canned baby food which the baby
required at the time
You can see from my experience
with babies is possible. but
far from the vacation I think you
are looking for. My next trip with
the baby will be by air and at night!
From Mrs. E. r. L., Fairtar, Va
Our home is in the heart of the
Colorado Rockies and when my
baby was weeks old my husband
was detailed to Washington to do
some special work.
We also have little girl years
old. We made the trip in our
coupe in January and through a
terrible blizzard, but all made the
trip just tine-and without colds.
Use disposable diapers by all
means. I find it convenient and
economical to buy the plastic show
er curtain material by the yard

PLANT LORE.

Gardenia Plants, for Mrs. r. D.
Y, Landover Hills, Md. New gar
denia plants may be easily rooted
from cuttings placed in water When
roots appear. plant in small pots.
Gardenia plants need thorough
soaking at each watering, especially
when Towering.
For Mrs. G. E.. Riva, Md. MY
three-year-old gardenia had So
| flowers last year. I kept it we'll
watered and placed it in an east
window until late May. when I
placed it outdoors in semishade.
This year 1t has become too large
for house plant. The plant has
been removed from the pot and
planted in protected space get
ting the sun from east and south.
1t has successfully withstood the
shock OF transplanting. 1t has lost
leaves. but now new ones are ap-
pearing.
African wholesome time ago, a
writer inquired as to the possibility
Of propagating Patented Saint
paulias (African violets). When
patented plants are purchased, the
slip that is sent with them reads
propagation prohibited" The pat
ent on the violet prevents asexual
reproduction (any other method
than planting the seeds.)

TEA SANDWICHES.
For the Future.
From Mrs. H. S. M, Falls Church J
Sorry I misplaced the issue of
The Star where one of the RICH
readers asked how to make sand
witches. Let me say in these days,
when it is important to save bread,
these little sandwiches are not shin
ing examples, because there is a
lot of waste. However, here are q
few suggestions. These are all easy
and II made with varied filings will
give you a nice selection.
Have caterers slice one loaf Of
white sandwich bread, lengthwise.
Then spread these long strips with
selected sandwich filling, remove
crusts. then roll the slice of bread
up rather firmly. Let the long rolls
stand until shortly before the sand
witches are served. They can be
packed in cake box, covered with
Waxed paper. etc. Then slice the
roll into little slices u to Il inch
thick.
Have bread cut, the square of the
loaf, about % slices. Remove the
crusts, roll each slice around a
piece of asparagus, water cress,
spread slice with sandwich spread
and roll. Pack these firmly into
box and let stand till ready to serve.
Don't pack too light or sandwiches
will get soggy.
Four Have a loaf of
whole wheat bread and one loaf of
white, sliced lengthwise. Spread
each strip with different filling
four strips in all. Place the four
strips of bread on top of each other
and slice off in slices, about inch
thick. These should also be allowed
to stand before being cut.
Open Face Sandwiches: Have
bread sliced lengthwise and spread
with filling desired, cream cheese,

Devi1n's adjoining apartment sent HIM two
feet into the air. The moaning of saxes COM
pletely drowned out his own music, and
angrily he snapped off the radio switch. Two
hours later, with the music still blasting, he
went to bed with cotton in his ears. In the
morning he spoke curtly to the landlord,
That night the music was louder than ever.
Elwood knew what had happened. Miss
Devlin had fluttered her eyelashes at the
landlord and his backbone had turned to
melted butter; but he, Elwood, was made of
sterner stuff.
He left his apartment, went into the hall
and raped at Miss Devlin's door. 1t opened,
and she stood revealed, wrapped in blue
negligee Her glossy black hair hung to her
shoulders Elwood hastily sent his mind back
over the trenchant paragraphs in his last
booklet, The Bonds That Unite. Would
you mind turning down your radio?" he said.
The sound blasted his eardrums II can't
hear you." she shouted. Come in."
Elwood stepped inside. The RADIO he
yelled, would you mind -"
Abruptly she snapped the switch and
Elwood Redeemed His voice sounded as
though he'd been practicing for a hog-calling
contest. WAS it disturbing you?" Miss Dew
lin said I'm 50 sorry Sit down."
She left him, to return presently with
glass in each hand. Elwood accepted one and
sat on the edge of chair. Miss Devlin smiled
and Ewood grinned. She was, he thought,
even prettier than that girl who'd run off
with the trombone player. Been model
long?" he said.
Il was chlorine for while,'' Miss Devlin
said, then l got into modelling I'm quite
excited at the moment There's chance |

a dicker on
Elwood came back to earth. He refrained
from looking at Miss Devlin, and studied
instead the goldfish bowl on the top of the
radio He glimpsed book on coffee table,
light, frivolous novel His own tastes turned
to grim realism He gulped down his drink
and started for the door Miss Devlm went
with him She stood close beside him. For

long goofy moment Elwood was on the verge
of kissing her; only the sound of rising
elevator kept him from doing so.
Good night, Miss Devlin," he said
She looked rather piqued, but that couldn't
be helped. Elwood hurried back to his own
quarters and settled himself in an armchair;
as he did so, Miss Devlin's radio came on
louder than ever.
1T HAD been narrow escape He was cha
grined with himself To entertain roman
tic thoughts concerning Miss Devlin. he knew,
was to discard all his own carefully thought
out tenets.
Drastic action was now necessary. He'd
have to move, that was all there was to it,
and the next day he started out, only to hang
out the white flag at the days end. There
was no suitable place; besides. he didn't want
to move. He liked his apartment, the location
was ideal 1t was intolerable to become in
volved in this kind of farce His clients got
themselves into romantic tangles. but he
was not a patient, he was the surgeon.
Three days later Elwood returned from the
university with bulging brief case. His STU
dents had turned in term papers that day.
He had before him long and tedious reading
and grading task, and concentration was vital.
He began to read, but his thoughts strayed.
He could hear already in his mind the radio
that would start horrid cacophony the mo-
ment Miss Devlin came home.
A daring idea formed in his mind. In des-
perate straits, desperate action is required.
Elwood went out and rang for the elevator.
Joe" he said, when the boy appeared, Il
locked myself out. Let me have a master key.
Don't wait - have to make an immediate
phone call. I'll drop the key off to you
shortly"
The elevator descended, and Elwood went
swiftly to Miss Devlin's apartment, unlocked
her door, stepped across the threshold, and
shut the door behind him.
He walked across to the radio and looked
for moment at the goldfish bowl on top of it.
Then, carefully, he eased the machine out
from the wall plunged hand into its interior
and removed tube. Miss Devlin, he felt

was a rock-ribbed belief that happy mar
riage was based on a solid community of
interests.
The dewy-eyed blonde was followed by a
petulant, overdressed woman; Elwood scolded
her roughly for acting like a spoiled child
and charged her fifty dollars. The woman
was enchanted.
Elwood saw the remainder of his clients,
lunched, held his university class spellbound,
and was back at his apartment house by four
thirty
Joe looked slyly at him as they rode up
stairs Guess you made hit, Mr.. Blake.
Miss Devlin was asking about you
Miss Devlin?"
Terry Devlin, the model. She asked me
who you were"
A LITTLE lilt of emotion went through
Elwood and he chuckled to himself. Odd. he
thought, that he remained susceptible, that
a hutter of pretty girls eyelashes could
affect him. But obviously Miss Devlin was
the antthess of the type of girl he might
some day ask to become his wife. A model

mind projected itself into the future; he saw
himself following her out to the West Coast,
becoming known as the glamorous Miss
Devlin's husband until such time as she cast
him aside for new consort. Other men might
so confuse their life; not Elwood
Nonetheless he remained pleased. 1t was
hattering to think that he could make
favorable impression on girl as pretty as
Miss Devlin.
The next morning when he stepped from
his apartment into the hall, Miss Deviln
with the ubiquitous hatbox, was waiting for
the elevator Good morning" she said.
Good morning. said Elwood,
Her eyelashes ffuttered Elwood reeled, and
then reminded himself that girls with that
limpid look invariably wore glasses in private.
Nice day" said Terry Devhn.
Elwood agreed that the weather appeared
clement, although on the snappy side Chat
tily Miss Devlin said that was true, adding
that she hoped it would warm up, because
her schedule for the day included an outdoor
pose in which she would wear bathing suit
I'D like to see you in it, Elwood said,
without thinking.
Miss DEvLIN added nothing to this, her eye
lashes futtered like butterfy's wings, and
Elwood was on the verge OF asking her to
have cocktails that afternoon when the ele-
vator cage door opened and Joe grinned wick
edly up at him. Elwood came back to nor
malcy.
On the ground floor he watched Miss
Devlins delectable legs carry her outside.
and then turned to Joe Joe winked one eye
hard. Il left you alone couple minutes,
Mr.. Blake he said Il couldn't figure your,

sharply, and Joe laughed uproariously as

sure, would not be familiar with the machines
mechanism When the radio failed to work,
she would get repair man. Elwood would
have day or so of grace in which to correct
the term papers.
Slipping the tube in his pocket, Elwood
started to push the radio back against the
wall. Now that the job was done he was In
hurry to get away. and he failed to notice
that the rug had pulled out with the radio
and formed small fold As he showed the
machine, it caught on the fold and abruptly
tilted
Before his Mortified gaze the bowl slid off
the polished radio top and crashed with the
thunder of doom on the floor. For one mute
second Elwood gazed in horror at the sand,
pebbles, marine vegetation and the Topping,
gasping goldfish.
L HEN with hoarse cry he raced for the
kitchenette A quick search revealed no uten-
sis - Miss Devlin apparently ate out. An
other thought struck him; he lunged into the
bathroom, turned on the cold water tap in the
tub, then dashed madly back into the living
room. scooped up the fish, staggered back into
the bathroom and dropped the fish in the tub.
With relief he saw them flick their tails and
swim once more.
Elwood mopped his brow and ran back to
the living room, picked up the pieces of broken
glass, gashed his thumb, wrapped handker-
chief around it, and deposited the glass in
I,,k~ ~I1
broom and dustpan. He swept up the sand,
pebbles and vegetation. did away with the
debris, and was leaning against the wall to
draw breath when he thought he heard
gurgle from the bathroom.
He raced in. wondering if he had forgotten
to close the drain But it was all right, al
though in his feverish state he thought the
goldfish were looking at him in the manner of
dramatic critics watching bad play. Elwood
was kneeling on the tiled floor looking at
them when he heard faint rustic near by.
He looked up and saw Miss Devlin directly
across the hall from him. She was in her bed
room, and wriggling out of her dress, pulling
it over her head.
Elwood prayed to be struck by lightning,
but nothing came of it - the skies outside
remained a placid blue. He Strengthened and
stood against the back of the door. This, he
thought bitterly. was the kind of thing that
occasionally happened to particularly idiotic
client of his. Miss Devlin, he thought, must
have come straight into her bedroom and
not noticed the missing goldfish bowl. He
stood perfectly still, eyes closed, trying des-
perately to initiate the wallpaper. Steps
sounded in the corridor
For PHYS sake he heard in Miss Dew
Inns awed voice.
CAUTIOUSLY Elwood opened one eye and
saw Miss Deviin staring into the tub
She was now wearing bathrobe, which
was some improvement on the situation. but
not much.
At that moment she turned and saw hun
and hand went to her mouth.
