Mrs. M. H. D., Washington:
It might be that you can re-
store the coloring of your an
tique wool picture by using col
ored chalk on 1t. At the dime
store you can buy a box Of chalk
of various colors. A friend Of
mine touched up some faded

and I don't see why it wouldn't
work on wool. The flowers on

Mrs. B. j. r., Sterling: To
keep the anti-macassar set in
place on the slip cover, do try
tellophane tape, making twists
of it in several places on the
under sides of the plastic set.
You can arrange these twisted
pieces in such a way that they
won't show on the outside of
the set. OF course, they may
show through the plastic, de-
pending upon how transparent
the plastic is.
Here are a few ideas a wise
old housekeeper has given me:
She mended her apple-corer
with tire tape, when the tiny
nail came out which held the
metal part to the wooden han
die. She uses the apple-corer
as q make-shift garden tool to
dig up some weeds by the roots.
She uses her kitchen scissors in
the yard for trimming, finding
1t much lighter and easier to
handle than clippers. Clippers
must be used on some of the
heavy. thick growths, however.
Occasionally she uses a sugar
scoop instead of a trowel and
puts to work various kitchen
forks.
About women's clothing: She
doesn't like the fact that our
clothes can be seen through in
strong light. so she has hit upon
the idea of making an extra
panel out Of a plastic rayon
towel. She folds it several
times and pins 1t onto her slip
in the right place. Try this!
It really works and you walk
around at ease.

/. I quote below from I'VE Japa-

Japan.
"Bonsai, or potted plants, are
dwarfed trees. trained to show
the beauty of large normal
trees, or of ancient trees. The
.favorite trees for bonsai are
pines (matsuD, principally of
the needle-leaf family, and a
species of broad-leaf Mongon-
lian oak (keyaki@. Some speci-
mems of these trees, potted for
100 years or more, bring several
thousand yen when sold.
"The usual method of produc-
ing these dwarfed trees is as fol-
lows: The main roots of selected
seedlings of small trees, not
more than 3 to 5 inches in
height. are cut away, only the
small roots being allowed to
develops procedure which is
carried out periodically. Weights
are hung on the branches in
order to make them hang in
downward curved shapes and
the branches are tied with
string or wire to form them into
artistic shapes. The treatment
differs with each tree. The trees
are kept in a shaded location.
Six to 10 years are required
to produce a desirable tree.
Bonsai for decorative and ex-
hibition purposes are common
all over Japan"

debate on the agenda. e.
The Socialists want to prevent
Western Germany's being merged
politically and militarily with the
West until all possibilities have
been exhausted of uniting Ger
many through agreement with
Russia.
But even if they do not force
actual debate. they will have sue
Iceeded in causing embarrassment
for DR.. Adenauer at a dramatic
moment and of demonstrating to
the Western Allies the deep split
in West German opinion.
They based their plea for a spe-
Icial session on a complaint that
neither Parliament nor the people
have been told enough about the
deal to which DR.. Adenauer pro-
poses to commit them. They re-
called that the Versailles treaty
after World War I was debated
by the Parliament of the Weimar
Republic before it was signed.
