If 1t goes against the grain
to throw out old Christmas
cards. these suggestions may ap-
peal to you.
Children and shut-ins often
enjoy making scrapbookS OF
them. Make sure first, however,
that the hospital or home to
which you plan to send them
does not already have more
than it can handle.
In decorating, remember that
modern cards, with their intri-
cate cut outs, designing and re-
production of color, can make
delightful Christmas tree Orna-
ments. We've even seen them
mounted on beaver board to
form their own resplendent
Christmas tree. Many cards,
particularly three-dimensionals,
make effective table or fireplace
decorations.
Or you might let your old
Christmas cards serve as place
cards at your holiday parties. If
you've kept the greetings you
received on past holidays, you
can pick out those which came
from your expected guests.
They'll brighten up your table
as you place these personally
signed greetings at the settings
of each of the Senders. Used
this way, they're amusing con-
versation pieces, also.
Finally, you can turn one

now select candidates through

Inever did know exactly what
a folder was supposed to do but
what ! did was make gasoline
bills for senators and, once when
law-maker died, I pecked out
on a typewriter a voucher for
his funeral expenses. Aside from
that I stood at attention when a
Senator came to visit us, handed
him glasses of water, telephoned
his home to say he'd be late, and
generally made him feel master
of all he surveyed.
1t was a very interesting job,
particularly the salary, because
I never knew from month to
month what it would be. That
was because I automatically be-
came the employe of whatever
senator had a vacancy on his
patronage list. Some months
were therefore a good deal better
for me than others.
Poor Douglas Meng felt re-
sponsible for me, which was why
he'd been given the uncomfort-
able chore of telling me some
thing very personal. He stam-
mered and stumbled over his
words but I gathered at length
that he was talking about my
clothes.
My wardrobe at the time con-
sisted entirely of MILDLY blouses
and skirts with a couple of cot
ton and gingham dresses such as
I'd worn back in Missouri. And
I had no money to buy anything
else. So I began to cry when I
finally got the gist of what Doug
was saying.
"You mean," I sobbed, that
you don't want me to wear
MILDLY blouses to the office any
more?"

He looked so miserable, Mere
dith, that actually did stop
crying. I've cried plenty of times
since then-but I never again
wore a MILDLY blouse.

Some people like the taste Of

develop the taste but the latter is

in several different flavors.
We all know that milk is an
important food for every one. If
you are having digestive trouble
you might try yogurt. Ask your
doctor about this. Many folks
drink yogurt simply for health's
sake, remembering the peoples
of the Balkans who just Stun
