And a hobby that was popular with grandmothers is still one that can bring pleasure. Paper pictures made by poking holes and threading darning yarn or embroidery thread through thew can be most decorative. You can, of course, buy commercial punched cards with pictures already outlined, but it's often far more fun to create your own. And rather than create a traditional, representational type of picture, it's also fun to experiment with abstracts, geometic figures, and other types of designs which you alone have made. If you have never tried this type of work before, here are some suggestions to guaran- tee that even the very first ef- forts will be successful. First, use a cup or glass to outline circles inside the fluted or rounded edges of an ordinary picnic plate. You can select either the.standard size or the smaller dessert type. And if you have a compass, it will make a perfect circle in no time at all. Measure spaces all along the circle you have drawn. A protractor will help in making each one exactly the same distance from the next. De- pending on the desigal,that you have in mind —and it's a good idea to inake practice outlines on scratch paper first — draw a smaller circle inside the first and measure it the same way. The next step, really, is a variation of "connect -the - dots," only in this case, in- stead,of doing the connecting with pencil or crayon, a darn- ing needle -and thread will do the "drawing." Choose colors that will be most pleasing to you. These. can be few or several, as de- sired. Be sure, of course, that the knot is on the back side. It is very simple to change col- ors. Just be sure to finish a stitch on the side that doesn't show. Also, be suresand tie it securely to the next piece of thread so there will be no dan- ger of it ever unravelling. You can use matching yarn or thread for hanging the plate, tie a bright contrasting ribbon to it, or just tack a row of them the way very expen- sive, decorated china plates' are sometimes placed on a high shelf to ornament a room. Since the plate is so flat and light, it also makes a nice gift to mail to a friend out of town. And you could, for that mat- ter, even use it to serve cookies that taste extra spe- cial probably just because they are arranged on such a pretty plate. PLATE DESIGN — It can be as much fun as a picnic turning a plain paper plate into an unusual picture. QUESTIONS WOMEN ASK What's best way to tie tubes? By ELEANOR B. RODGERSON, M.D. Q. What is laparoscopy? My friend told me this was the best way to have the tubes tied. Is this so? A. Laparoscopy is the means by which the pelvic cavity is inspected without major surgery. A small inci- sion is made in the abdominal wall, often near' the umbili- cus, and a tube-like instru- COOKING CORNER \ New cookbook sandwiches tales between recipes By SUSAN DELIGHT A zany fictional diameter, -the Mad Hatter of French - town, St. Thomas, it the "col- laborator" for a ,ilew book, "'hie taliePto Cookbook," written by Mrs. CarolsCollver Thurber. Mrs.' Thurber, who writes under the name Carol Collver, and her husband, Gibbs, spent three years in the West Indies, mostly on St. Thomas. She has written short stories for chil- dren and co-authored a juve- nile novel, "Calypso Island." "My husband managed ho- tels in the West Indies," Mrs. Thurber says. "I often stepped in and took over the direction of hotel kitchens when temperamental chefs walked out." Mrs. Thurber said the idea for the cookbook came to her "out of the blue." "The book has been three years in the 'making' — the recipe testing has been so time-consuming," she said. "But the preparation' has been fun, even though I gained 11 pounds." Mrs. Thurber said she was assisted by her husband in the preparation of her new cook- book, published by Ashley Books. "He wrote, some �f the copy /for "e Mad Hatter of French- toam,", she explained. "And he acted as my taster for the recipes I tested. When we were interpretating the Med Hatter we thought mad and kept our hearts full of *song." Among recipes, sandwiched between tales which hint of high adventure and romance of the Virgin Lslands, in the book are ones which follow.

This lapa- roscope provides light arid a viewing lens and a space to permit the introduction of in- struments for handling tis- sues. The use of a laparoscope re- quires practice, as with every technique, and provides a val- uable tool for making a diag- nosis that may have been in doubtand for performing cer- tain surgical procedures such as tubal sterilization. me tubes are not tied by this method, but cauterized, burned. Only a small opening in the abdominal Wall is needed. The hospital stay is considerably shortened. The procedure seems quite sim- ple, but skill is necessary to achieve this simplicity. Injury to other abdominal organs has to be avoided and, of course, the abdomen cannot be in- spected so well as through an incision. Its main recommen- dation is its economy and short convalesence after- ward. • Q. J had myself sterilized a couple of years ago. Laiready had three children and didn't want anymore. Now I have a new husband and we want a child for him. Can 'I get my tubes untied? A. Cases like yours are the reasons why doctoriare care- ful about recommending ster- • ilizat,ion. Circumstances change women's minds. You couldn't see ahead. However, repairs of Fallop- ian tubes are being made with a fair degree of success. Whether or ' not the repairs can produce workable results depends upon what was done to them in the first place. If. they were tied and cut, they may be rejoined and splinted, but, if they were burned ( ful- gurated), the damage to the tissue is probably too great for restoration. Occasionally a part of the tube can be im- planted at one horn of the uterus. The tissue of the tubes is very delicate. Care must be taken not to damage it fur- ther. Adhesions form readily.
