To illustrate, will compare her to top
notch salesman who finds himself faced with
a mountain of paper work. Then I'll ask:
Would you consider the salesman lazy be-
cause he skips a bit on his paper work to
give himself more time to go around and make

Invariably, the answer is, 'Of course not"

They Quit
90 often, women draw an artificial line
between the house and other aspects of daily
living. Convinced that they are not suited
for activities within the physical limits of the
household, they throw up their hands in dis
gust and assume they aren't cut out for home
making
But modern homemaking is not confined to
five rooms and garden. 1t takes in all as
poets of community life - schools churches,
hospitals. Publicity work for the local P.T.A
is an essential part of homemaking, too.
The wife who adopts the ''prime apti-
tude' approach reaPs physical as well as
mental rewards. Specialists in psychoso-
matte medicine have long known that men
and women in the wrong jobs are more sus-
ceptible to asthma, migraine headaches, indi-
gestion. insomnia and jitters than those who
like their work. The same, I've found, is true
of housewives.

Too many housewives today are convinced
they must drive themselves to do the things
they hate to make their husbands happy and
proud of them. But the real key to winning
appreciation and recognition lies in comben-
sdting for their deficiencies by excelling at
activities they like and do best
Sometimes, wife will balk when suggest

enjoys She worries about what her husband
and friends will think, that she'll earn repu-

The Key
CONSIDER wife who likes interior decorat-
ing but hates to dust and clean. Very often,
she'll whip herself into frenzy busting the
house until it's immaculate. Because the task
is distasteful, she is usually inefficient and has
to spend more time at it. Meanwhile, her
plans to redo the living room, an activity
she really likes, lie gathering dust
When meet this type of wife. point out
that specialization is the key to modern busi-

BY George Kennedy

The ancient art of topiary has
practitioner in Maryland -
Harvey S. Ladew. former master
of fox hounds Of the Hartford
County Hunt.
Topiary is the trimming of
hedge trees into stylized shapes
including birds and animals.
Mr.. Ladew has surrounded his
Pleasant Valley farm north of
Baltimore with formal gardens
of perfect lawns bordered by
hedges. Swans cut from the live
growth swim along the top of
one hedge. Along the walks
squirrels sit IN their launches
and pheasants spread their tails.
There are battlements of hem
lock and hedge walls with large
square openings cut in them so
the stroller can enjoy the view
down the valley.
1t was while hunting in Eng
land that he first became inter-
ested in topiary. Riding cross
country he saw a fascinating,
life-like pack of hounds chasing
a fox along the top of a hedge
all fashioned from the living
bushes.
He contrived to meet the peo-
Pile who owned the place and
they put him in touch with the
country artisan who had FASH
ioned the wire frames which
guide the trimming of the fig
ures. The wire frame is always
there. The growth of the hedge
conceals it.
He brought back a set of
frames to his Long Island home.
