Arcadian Gardening Hints: /:

Take care of your House
Plants! Good drainage helps
> them grow better. Try this:
Stand the flower pot in a
bowl or saucer filled with
pebbles. Make sure the
drainage hole in the pot is
open and working. Indoor
plants usually take less water
than plants in the sun. You
can tell when your plant
needs water; pick up the pot
and rap it, If the pot rings,
the plant is dry.

Of his truck. He said he was
taking the chair down to put
in the milking barn.
Tweed said he already has a
radio in the barn, and now with
the milking machine he needs a
good. easy chair to rest in. He
is going to take things easy from
now on. he said.
Tweed is doing all of the milk
ing now-morning and night.
He gets the radio going, the easy
chair tilted just right and starts
the mixers going.
But there is some talk around
the community. It is being
whispered that this milking spree
won't last long. That as soon as
Tweed gets tired of the machine
he will leave the milking to
others.
The boys who work with
Tweed are having a rest fol
awhile, anyway.

A few years ago a disease
called "rust" attacked the plant

it impossible for the home gar

the plantsmen came to the res

TEEN-AGE MARRIAGES
Continued from page eighteen

support these babies after they
arrive. They shrug and say that
somehow it will work out.
DR.. Randolph Ray, Rector
OF New York's famous Little
Church Around the Corner, re-
fuses to marry couples when he
thinks they aren't prepared to
accept responsibility. Says he:
in the peacetime marriage as in
the war marriage. l think the odds
are in favor of women between
twenty-five and twenty-eight.
They can attract older men be-
cause of their subtlety and expe-
rience. Younger women are apt
to be much greater egoists and
they are not SO adaptable. What
seems exciting at eighteen is apt
to prove a bore at twenty-eight.
Ideas develop. personalities
grow and unfortunately all too
often along different lines"

not mature enough for marriage.
or anything else. A mother told
me: There is an iron curtain
between us. We don't speak the
same language. ! said to my
daughter. Try to imagine what
it will be like when you no longer
want to go dancing every night.
Try to imagine a time when you
don't care whether he kisses you
or not. Would you still like him?'
But it was no good. She
couldn't imagine a time when she
didn't want him to kiss her, or
they didn't go dancing every
night"
Girls almost universally are
sure they are mature enough for
marriage, even at Is or l6. But
a number of college girls | talked
to were dubious about the ma
turity Of the boys they were
planning to marry. One told
me: ga girl is always older
than a boy. You have to be
the smart ONE of the pair. You
have to see the potentials in
him. and you have to fix things
so he realizes those potentials. "
And more young husbands are
doubtful. particularly after a few
