Steady my hur- ried pace with a vision of eternal reach of time. Give me, amidst the confusion of my day, the calmness of the everlasting hills. Break the tensions of my nerves and muscles with the soothing music of the singing streams that live in my memory. Help me to know the magical, restoring power of sleep.

Arrange it with little china figures or flowers for your dining - room table and you will have a centre your guests will compliment you on. Last year when I house cleaned my cold cellar, I moved away a box and looked in amazement, A cabbage had rolled behind it. Its outer leaves were dried and shriv- elled but bursting out of its centre was a sprout of such fragile yel- low as to rival the daffodil which it resembled. I picked the little thing up and could not bear to throw it out. So I pulled off a few of the shaggier leaves and gave the lovely little vegetable a place of honour on my best silver tray on the television set. There the little Cinderella gladdened my heart for three weeks or more, feeding on its inner self and re- quiring no water at all. Contrary to my expectations it didn't rot or smell.
