It is diffcult to imagine Mrs, Black even at 73, retiring to a rocking chair and enjoying "the sunset of life" knitting, reading or pursuing what she hnerself has called her "bestâ€"beloved hobbyâ€"gathering and studying wild flowers." Her life has been to full of action for that. At 5 she fled with her parents from the Chicago fire and as a young bride and mother she exâ€" perienced hardships, anxietiese and sorrows which few of the present genâ€" eration have known.

July 8, 1989:â€"Studâ€" cbaker factory sales were 189% better than June, 1938 and greater than any June since 1928 accordimz to a stateâ€" ment releas>d toâ€"day by M. S. Brooks, Fresident of the Studebaker Corporaâ€" tion of Canada, Limited. Studebaker Factory Sales Showing Notable Increase "We consider it a very gratifying tribâ€" ute to our product," said Mr. Brooks, "thet our business for the first six month of this year has maintained at a very high rate. The six month period pust ended was the best of any similiar periecd since 1929 and was a 107% better than the like period of last year. Our records further reveal that as of the end of June, we have sold 29% more cars to our Gistributors and dealers than in all 1938. "Our dealer new car stocks throughâ€" out Canada are generally in véery exâ€" celilsnt condition and this leads us to expect a continuation of this eminently satisfactory increase throughout the remainder of this year. While used car stocks are a little heavy in a féew isolated points, they are for the most part well balanced and our dealers are enjoying a fairly rapid turnover. "We are carrying into July a bank of unfilled orders which, with regard to the season, is impressively high," â€" onâ€" cluded Mr. Brooks, ‘and we quite deâ€" finitely believe that the soâ€"called "sumâ€" mer slump" for us will not be nearly so keenly felt as in past years."

NO CASH NEEDED 2 YEARS TO PAY haunt the summer furniture displays abloom in her pet stores and to cast designing eyes on rattan and metal furniture for outdoor use. Watch Your Weight Beware of love at first sight in selâ€" ecting summer furniture. If your space is spacious and you have half a dozâ€" en flunkies at your beck and call, then follow your notions without regard for weight or bulk. But if the area is small and you have to shove it around under your own steam, select pieces of small scale that won‘t look crowded and are light enough to move without too much effort, And of course it goes without saying that a porch isn‘t a porch without cool and comfortable chairs to sink into and tables to hold tall cool glasses and frosty pitchers., That starched white metal summer furniture continues to lead in interest. Pastel finishes in pale pink and pale yellow are interesting variâ€" ations. The second most popular fin«â€" ish is a weatheredâ€"looking Pompeiian green that looks old and gracious. A rusty terra cotta turns up occasionally in metal and once in a while a bright color like turquoise. A novelty finish that will bear watching is a pewter color. In short, it‘s the time of the year when m lady with a house begins to Only in a land of plenty could the American backyard have been envolved with its rubbish and neglect. In counâ€" tries where ground is scarce, the back yard is treated with respect, is gardenâ€" ed with affection and made into a pleasantly private outdoor "room." The irony of our prodigality is that few of us actually have mutch ground . . . A fifty foot lot if we‘re lucky. It‘s simply that we‘ve not been brought up to take ground seriously. As a matter of fact, why discriminate between the back and the front yard? It‘s admitting that ‘"front" is what matters most. When we can get much more use out of an attractive back yard because it is quieter and more detached. Your â€"Bit of the Blue If you aren‘t up to a lot of fancy gardening â€" concentrate on a fine lawn bordered with hardy shrubs. Or if you have only a small space, it‘s socmetimes interesting to pace it with brick flagstones, add a pool or fountain as a centerpigece and have a pot garden. That way you can take your pots indoors in the winter and keep them going the year around. But if worst comes to worst and you can‘t manage broad acres of grass or a bowâ€" er of roses, remember that you can get the idea with a flower box of petunias. In any case, a gardened yard implies garden furniture, so that you can realâ€" ly enjoy your own bit of the blue. A couple of broken down discards from the house and a rickety beach chair won‘t do. . . you‘ll use this outdoor *"*room" much more if it is furnished with comfort and charm. All metal that lotks like iron isn‘t necessarÂ¥2y ironâ€"as you‘ll discover when you go to lift some of the new pieces. . . . they‘re that from the ironâ€" work patterns found in New Orleans and Charleston. Others have an Emâ€" pire feeling We‘ve noted all sorts of scrolls, flowers, leaves and vines in the season‘s crop of metal furniture. Along with bowâ€"knots, ricâ€"raz, zodiac and other newer looking details. Bamboo and rattan look smarter this year in dull natural finishes, a sort of pickled pine effect. Some is shown in white painted finish. but there are very few brighter colors to be seen.
