COURTESY Linda Young, three-year-old daughter of one of the New York's leading printers, has a new En- glish governess who is teaching her perfect manners. Her parents wonder if they are not a shade too perfect, The other morning, she followed her father to the ward- robe and asked sweetly, "Daddy, may I borrow a clothes hanger for a moment, please?" \Vhen he gave her the hanger, she curtsied pret- tily, took careful aim, and conked her mother squarely on the head with it. Then she returned it to der father, saying, "Thank you ever so much." CROSSWORD PUZZLE ACROSS 8. Bee'e rood 6. Inquire 3. Article 13. :inn:u,nce la Portland cement (clinker) 13. Pastry 14. Beam 15.

Just recently friends of our moved away from their spacious farm home to much smaller quarters. I just about wilted when I saw all the stuff that hal to be sorted, and then sold, given away or thrown out, according to its usefuhiess or value. What an ordeal! And yet how uninteresting our homes would be if we didn't hoard anything at all. Imagine housecleaning the boxroom of the attic and having no old letters or school books to look through, (7r patch wont pieces to sort, or pic- tures and snapshots to look over, some of which had been almost forgotten. What fun to take an- other look at those old school group pictures; think of Mamie as she is now and see the shy little girl she used to be -or the sturdy youth who was such a puny little boy. Aud of course Old Country people waste (?) a lot of precious time looking at postcards and other relics of bygone days, taking U5 back to the past and making us wonder if we shall ever again sec those old familiar places, And if we did would they have any meaning for us now? Times and places have changed a lot and in many cases the folk we loved are no longer where we left them. I supose, too, there are fashions in hoarding as in everything else. The things that we hoard now are very different from those of grand- mother's day. Then it was heavy clothing to make over for the chil- dren, or to be cut up during the winter for rugs and quilts, Now in many an attic, instead of clothing there are antique pieces of furniture waiting to be refinish- ed -- probably rescued from the woodshed or picked up at an auc- tion sale. The other day I saw a beautiful cedar -lined, hand -carv- ed oak chest. It had been brought over from England and had been salvaged from an old back kitchen, or scullery, where it had been used as a handy place on which to cut up the neat 'after an animal had been butchered! The time we spend in "redding up" depends to a great extent on the weather. As long as it stays cold, wet, or stormy we are in- clined to dawdle on the job, en- joying it to the full. But let the weather change and very soon sen- timent gives way to ordinary, everyday common sense so that in our desire to speed up the work we find ourselves a little more ruth- less in discarding treasures of the past. A little sunshine and we really step around, especially after a rainy spell such as we have had Just recently, Of course spring is reaily just around the corner. No doubt it would have been here be- fore but apparently an extensive detour was necessary before it could actually get here. But don't worry -it is coaling all right - must be, Why? Well, three days ago I heard geese going over .. , and snowdrops are blooming; daf- fodils are in bud; rhubarb is peek- ing rosy -red through its winter bed, and the swamp frogs, though silent now, have been heard sing- ing. To say nothing of two cock robins that were carrying out pre- risinn exereiSre on our front lawn SALLY'S SALLIES "If the tier ,r; v'ould only shrink their bills like they slid tltlsl" o n I S' yesterday. The Mountie's :Musical Ride had nothing on these two robins. They ran, stopped - ran, stopped; left wheeled and right wheeled as one bird• It was a fascinating exhibition to watch --only by watching could one be- lieve such a feat was possible. Today 1 saw something else that was equally extraordinary. Tippy and a visiting dog were having a little argument w h i c h showed promise of developing into a first class fight. However, before it had a chance to materialize a black streak of fury was upon them, back arched, tail in the air`' and using tine most awful language, That streak was our Black Joe. Now, 1 thought, I've seen everything. When dog chases cat, that's noth- ing, But when one lone cat chases two big clogs and breaks up a fight, that is really news. As soon as he -had the dogs separated, Black Joe shinned up a chestnut tree and stayed on guard. Today 1 watched as good a feinting snatch as I am ever likely to see. Tippy carne on a ground- hog unawares. She caught it, then dropped it. And then Tippy and the groundhop circled and jockey- ed for position with lightning speed, Twice Tippy caught it and dropped it again and the perfor- mance was repeated until the third and last time, the groundhog gamely fighting in defence of its life. Poor little creature -I would like to have rescued it. So' tiny , and yet so brave, ONCE -BUT NOT NOW People of the theatrical and lit- erary worlds place the usual pre- mium on success, but they still have time to show compassion and understanding for those who no longer can matte the grade. In Hollywood, however, the competi- tion is so fierce and the sense of insecurity so pervading that no- body has any time for fallen big - shots of yesterday. A star who Inas managed to hold his place. through the years unconsciously summed up the Hollywood atti- tude at a dinner party recently. "The time to salt your money away is when you're rolling along cm top," he announced, "You never know when you're going to hit the skids.

Petticoat Hints When you go shopping for an important petticoat to set off an important dre.ee, be sure it takes to soap and water. Look for a fabric that's made to he washed, that won't wilt at the first wetting, or lose its crispy rustle. A petti- coat that can't be sudsed like other undies is a luxury few women can afford. Take time also to look for easy - washable trine such as permanent- ly pleated ruffles which will save valuable time at the ironing board, or choose a fabric that needs no ironing at all. Care of Coats Before tucking away that old pet hunting coat in moth -balls and putting it in the family cedar chest, be sure to give it a coat of good canvas water -proofing such as is used for tents. This will not only preserve the material but will keep those blood-soaked places at the bottom of the game pockets from rotting. DIDN'T KNOW THEIR OATS When you eat your oatmeal just thank your stars that the old Ro- man farmers didn't have weed sprayers. The Romans figured oats were weeds -but they never quite killed then all off. These days Canadian and U.S. farmers grow about 12 billion bushels of oats yearly. For Cleaner,Ruga A. brush is better than a cloth for removing stains from a deep - pile carpet, tcceortling to Miall Florence King, noted clothing specialist, She also advises wash- ing the soiled areas in tate direc- tion of the pile -not crosswise to it. Use a thick soapless lather, she says, for the first step 111 !removing the stain. After you finish the lather treatment, wipe the spot with a clean cloth that has been dipped into clear warm water and squeezed t0 remove excess tnoia- titre. If this treatment does not re- move all of the stain, follow with a grease solvent, such as carbon tetrachloride. Use a brush to get the solvent well into the pile. If these two treatments do not completely remove the stain, start all over again. Repeat the lather and solvent treatment to remove the remaining stain. SPEEDSTER A woman was talking with it friend about the athletic achieve- ments of the latter's son. "Your boy must be an excep- tionally fast runner; I see by nils morning's paper that he fairly hurtled up the track with his record breaking speed. I suppose you saw him do it?" "No, I didn't see hint do it," replied the boy's mother, "but I saw the track this morning and there was nothing but cinders there." \CHE5 AND P',�lCg},C� SER so And the RELIEF IS LASTING There's one thing that brings really fast relief from the discomfort... the headache... the muscular aches and Pains that often accompany a cold , INSTANTtrra, And the relief is prolonged!
