from Mrs. E. p, Chevy Chdse.J
College and high school daughter!

to a perplexed parent.
Why Is it a necessity to "gt

ments? NY son seems to think so
His friends both feminine and mas.
culine, suddenly shot up into young
giants and left him standing al
O bare 5 feet 6 inches. He Is de-
veloping psychosis over it.
He is good looking, healthy, clean
intelligent, and he loves a good
time. but he is missing out by being
supersensitive. AS his father, his
older married brother and I are
all tall people, we cannot be much
consolation to him.
How about it, girls? Is his hand1-
cap insurmountable? The RICH al
ways has an answer. Let's have
a little discussion on this problem
NEWLYWEDS?
from Mrs. L. H., W1Shington.)
As a bride of months, and q
newcomer to Washington, am
seeking suggestions from readers
We are finding the problem OF
meeting young newlyweds rather
difficult.
NV husband has a fine position
with growing concern, but his
work does not bring him In contact
with young people.
We are living in a very nice
apartment house, but all OF our
neighbors are much older.
We tried joining few church
groups, but didn't find any newly
weds in these groups.
Perhaps some of the readers have
met and conquered this same prob
lem. and will have some appreciated
suggestions.
ROOFING NUNS"
(Fron, Mrs. A. A. R., Washington
In spring when NUNS are to
inches high cut off tops to inches
long, place cuttings in pot or where
they are to grow, strip of lower two
or four leaves bury half the length
water well, keep covered during the
sunny part of the day. I cover with
flower pots, they hold moisture AND
keep the air COOL Keep covered
2, 3, 4 or perhaps days according
to the heat Of the sun then keep
well watered for a few days longer
If necessary, and presto! you have
NUNS that will bloom in the fall
You do not damage the old plant
by cutting off the tops. in fact NUNS
are improved by topping since 1t
makes them branch and they won't
get so tall and fall during blooming
No need to give any special atten-
ton to the soil condition, NUNS
will grow in any garden soil.
