Fall wheat and pasture fields look green and promising; gardens are gay with nodding daffodils. Here and there on light soil farmers are already out on the land. Yes, be- fore our very eves the miracle of spring is taking place all over again. Lawns are being raked and a few days will see lawn mowers once more in action -- and no "doubt there will be a bit of brow- mopping and a few aching backs as a result. . My first job outside was remov- ing and burning a pile of brush left over last fall when the carly snow came and caught us un- awares. Quite a chore when it has been left so long but any job is welcome as a legitimate excuse for staying outside. And it is up to me to do it as Partner will have no time to spare until the cows are out to grass, which will not be for a few weeks yet. But 1 don't mind -- after ail, who wants to work inside when the great out- doors is sounding its first clear call to action. At such a time one also realizes how, good it is to be alive -- and how good to live in the country, The pity of it is all people are not equally fortunate. Down town, for instance, our small hos-- pital has every bed occupied all the time. For patients there is brief one knows they will soon be up and around and will not miss very much but how one grieves for those who will be, or have been, confined to bed for any length of time. It sa-happens that I know several such cases just now and I feel almost guilty in visit- ing them while I am enjoying ap- parent good health. [ wish I could take spring into the hospital as casily as 1 can take a bouquet of flowers, If 1 could only take some of these dear people who love the country just a corner of a field where the mayflowers grow, or have them hear the bobolinks song of cestasy as they sing from their perch on the telephone wires. Or take them a short distance to the little country church | -aent to yesterday. Such a lovely little church, with a simplicity and dignity peculiarly its own. The service was straight- forward .and unaffected; the con- gregation, mostly from farm fami- lies, scemed unhurried and very much in carnest, The church is among the hills, and not too far away one sces the limestone cliff of Rattlesnake Point. Perhaps it was only coincidence but [was particularly struck with the ap- propriatencss of the closing hymn "-- "Unto the hills around do I lift up my longing eyes." I thought of the carly settlers of this dis whose stay © trict, facing untold hardships with such remarkable courage amd for- titude, how often they must have lifted their eyes "unto the hills" and remembered to their comfort "Jehovah shall preserve thy go- [ love little country churches ~- partly because the last resting place of the carly pioneers "is there. within the precincts of the church, And I also have a queer feeling that God must have a special place in His heart for the little country church, no matter what faith or creed it represents, » Coming home 1 noticed a strik- ing, but by now a common con trast, .to the rural community 1 had just left. I came past an out- lying district of a small town com- monly known as "Shack-town". Shack-town, [ noticed, was a verit- able network of television aerials. 1 wonder what: will happen if a twister should ever strike that dis- trict, . ; : It is to be hoped that television will eventually be possible without having the roof-tops dangerously decorated. with a network of wires. Sethe. Smartly Styled Raincoat Low Priced, Practical | Carrying Case Is Larger, Zippered BY EDNA MILES ! HE problem, in the past, with budget raincoats has been mostly a matter of styling. True, they shed the rain and warded off the damp just as efficiently 'as a raincoat costing far more, but lots of women refused to wear them on the grounds that they were strictly utilitarian, not pretty A new "weather duster" has been designed to overcome this problem. Very low priced, it's made of virgin vinyl plastic, and has full-slashed, heat-sealed pockets as carry- alls. A full-length reinforced placque runs top to bottom on the front facing, providing a guarantee against the . elements. Fashion points come with the stand-up collar, French flaired double-button winged cuffs. and a new bugger curved hood that allows the long ties to fall through the tab collar, hanging gracefully and vel providing real protection against wind and rain. The impractical, too-small carrving envelope has been replaced by a larger, 10-by-12-inch all-purpose utility bag that's both deep and wide, new plastic finger-tip slip zipper.

Fields' nose was put slightly out of joint. The man who did it was the inimitable Joe Frisco. The night the Ziegfeld Follies of 1927 opened in' New York, Frisco did his own number and then was supposed to introduce Fields. The latter waited in the wings ready to make his entrance on a burst of applause. Instead of introducing I'ields, howayer, Frisco pulled a piece of paper out of 'his pocket and said in an excited voice, * have just learned that Charles Lind- bergh is in the audience," This was just after Lindbergh had flown the Atlantic and the crowd went wild, After several minutes of pande- monium, Frisco held ap his hand for quiet and said, "I guess I made a mistake. It must be somebody who looked like him. Anyhow, the next act will be W, C, Flelde." years but book | Modern Etiquette By Roberta Lee Q. When it is impossible for a man's mother to pay the convene tional visit upon her son's new fiancee, what kind of a letter can she write? . A. "Dear Ruth: Jim has just told us of his great happiness which, of course, brings 'joy to us. Qur one regret is that we are so far away (or whatever it is that prevents the visit) that we cannot immediately welcome you in person. We do, however, send you our love and good wishes, Margaret Wilson." + Q. Is it all right for a hostess to serve two qr three dishes at a time, if she must do all the serving alone? A. Of course. Considerate guests would not criticize her for this, and of course she would not be serving if the dinner were formal. Q. Is it all right for a man to ~ use only his initials when signing social correspondence? A. No; he should sign his full _ hame. - Q. Is it proper to guess at a name if one has not heard it dis- tinctly during an introduction? : . . Aa A. No; it is much better to, ask and be correct. The proper thing to say would be: "I'm very sorry, but I did not hear your name clearly," or, "Did Mr. Johnson call you Miss Ferris? I'm sorry, but 1 did not hear very well." Q. How far in advance of the wedding should gifts be sent to the "bride? A. Usually two weeks or ten days before the date of the wedd- ing, so that the. bride may have time to acknowledge' it. Q. Who should be seated at the right of the host, if there is no woman guest of honor at a dinner party? A. Under these circumstances, the eldest woman guest is seated at the right of the host. Q. What is the proper thing for a woman to do when calling, if she finds her hostess is preparing to go out? : } A. She may say, "I sce you are ready to go out; 1 won't keep you." However, if the hostess insists that she remain for awhile, it is perfectly proper to do so. Q. Is it permissible to seat a man and wife together at a dinner party? A. Not usually, It may be done when the party is in honor of a newly - married couple; then the bride and bridegroom are seated together. Q. Is it correct to write a note wishing a' girl happiness after re- ceiving an announcement of her engagement? A. Yes; a brief, but sincere, note . is. in good taste, Q. Is it obligatory that a woman keep her hat on when attending a large card party? i A. This is optional; if she wishes, she may remove it. The Gardener The fervid gardener can scarcely wait to get a fork into the soil. His soil. His garden plot, which he knows is waiting so eagerly for his attentions, Ie knows ex- actly what he is going to do this year and how he is going about it. He has his seeds and his plans. And now he has spring. But the odd thing about it is that he doesn't have spring at all, and that his land isn't waiting for his attention. Spring comes along, to the unplowed hilltop and the wild pastures as well as to the garden plots; and the gardener, like the farmer, can participate, but never dominate. Spring cbmes, and the rain and the sun, and seeds sprout. Chosen "seeds, if the gar- dener has exercised his option on a certain plot of soil; but sceds "sprout, whether there is a gardener around or a farmer, or not. The land, the soil, doesn't, wait on any man. Whatever sceds are there send down root and put forth leaf at a proper time. That's one reason the best. gar- dens are those whose proprietors get down on their knees to plant, They understand that the great forces of this. ecarth, the urgency of growth and all that feeds it, are to be approached with humility. They know that any garden plot left to itself will not lack for growth and greenery. They know that theirs is a function of choice,' primarily, which to encourage and which to weed out, which to plant and which to destroy. Man can work wonders, even with the soil. But he can't do much about the weather and nothing at all about the progression of the seasons, which are the ultimate governors of growth. And all any- body can do with a seed is plant it and let it sprout.--From The New York Times. HIS ERROR Alfred Knopf is very particular about the cigars he:smokes.. His favorite brand is a pure Havana manufactured by H. Upmann, packaged individually in" a metal container that looks like a minia-= ture torpedo. On his way back from the coast recently, Mr, Knopf fell into conversation with a beard- ed stranger in the club car of the Chief, and automatically reached for one of his precious stogies. Then, with understandable reluc- tance, he offered another (his last) to the bearded stranger. After the two men had puffed in silence for a spell, Mr. Knopf could not resist asking, "What do you think of that cigar?" The sfranger .shrugged his shoulders and said, "Not bad." "Not bad!" echoed Knopf. "I'll have you know that's an Upmann Special." "No, it isn't," said the other. "You see, I'm Upmann, and only Upmann smokes Upmann Specials."

They have discovered the "poor man's dia- mond." From a stick of silvery titanium,' a metal which is actually the earth's ninth most common element and far more plentiful than nickel or copper, they have found a cheap and simple way of mass-producing gems which, when properly pol- ished, can even outshine diamonds. These new titanium gems glit- ter with vivid diamond "fire" and are tougher than steel. For research purposes the experts have produc- ed a "diamond" pencil ten inches long, which flashes like a magic wand yet can be sliced' into hund- reds of small discs, each outshin- ing a true $2,000 diamond. Is this the beginning of the end for the world's merry but mono- poly-fostered diamond boom? To foreshadow the future, crystal ex- perts have glanced back to the day--S5 years ago--when French scientist Louis Verneuil dripped aluminum oxide through a furnace, added metallic pigments and 'built the first synthetic sapphire. Thanks to this process the Swiss were soon turning out millions of syn- thetic sapphires for watch-makers and selling them for as little as a dime apiece. The world's watches would otherwise cost roughly double their present price. Sapphire. bearings are used in the armaments drive, in gauges and measuring instruments, -and millions are now pouring from an important British factory. In the export drive a pound of saphhire ncedles for long-playing microgroove records sells at $100,- 000. Yet that. works out. at little more than fifteen cents each! By a similar process the Ver- . neuil method led to synthetic star rubies. Until recently most of the world's 50 star rubies were zecal- ously guarded in India and market prices. averaged $1,500 a carat. Now artificial star rubies sell at $35 a carat. Thousands of perfect specimens have been made, includ- ing the largest star ruby ever cut, a stone nearly as large as the Koh-i-nur. Now diamonds are marching along the same high road. Only ~ an X-ray crystallography examina- tion . can establish the difference between many titanium diamonds and genuine, natural stone. . "They are too good--nature is never perfect," jewellers say. Scien- tists' believe, however, that it will be possible to introduce slight flaws into the stone to overcome. this. Chief merit of the new process is its cheapness. It has always been claimed that a Victorian ex- perimenter named John SLEEP TO-NITE SEDICIN tablets taken according to directions is a safe way to induce sleep or quiet the nerves when tense. $1.00 Drug Stores only! orSedicin, Toronto 2. Hannay | / adtually made synthetic diamonds seventy years ago, but the cost made them as dear as real dia- monds. a Did. Hannay really. produce real stones? Mrs, Kathleen Lonsdale, an 'eminent British crystal "expert, heard revently that two of his stones were in the safe keeping of _ the British Museum and asked to - be allowed to subject them to scientific tests. Permission was readily granted and Mrs. Lonsdale made an ex- haustive scrutiny at the Davy- Faraday laboratory. Old Hannay"s dianionds, though synthetic, were proved to be réal diamonds. Hannay's experiments had to be kept in. cold storage ... but it's evident that the cheaper titanium stones have come to stay, "This business of nourishing the soil seems grotesque, - It's hard enough to feed the family let alone throwing away good money om feeding the land. Our idea about soil is that it ought to feed itself." --Christopher Morley. .
