womans chatter by mair m morgan 7ij london favors threesomes threesome is the latest ballroom craze in london mean ing simply that instead of one man dancing with one girl one man can just as easily dance with two girls or one girl with two men this is how it is done one girl stands behind the other girl and their partner puts his right arm around the waist of the second girl who is really his partner he holds the right hands of both girls and they place their left arms lightly on his shoul der as for the six feet involved well the back partner takes slightly wider steps than ordinarily the

lindsay smith most pruning is carried out la march although where only a little work is to be done it is better left un til growth is farther advanced there is one exception to the latter state ment however and that applies to grapes to avoid excessive bleeding vines of this fruit must be pruned while absolutely dormant and this means before the midale of march in pruning grapes the best plan is to re move all but a bare skeleton as the fruit is borne on new growth each year in the commercial fruit dis tricts all but tho trunk and two later als each way are left when the men are through with the knife and clip per in pruning fruit trees the main thing is to open up the branches to ad mit plenty of light and air and to pre vent the growth of branches at a wide angle from the main structure as such would be liable to break off when load ed with fruit branches which cross and rub against each other of course should uo removed in the smaller garden it is important to keep all fruit trees headed back for conveni ence in picking where carried out systematically and where there is not too much shade it is quite possible to have cherries plums peaches pears and apples bearing on branches within a foot of the ground in fact in the older countries aud also on the prairies most fruit trees are trained so that they branch out close to the bottom of the trunk except for a lit tle training it is not necessaiy to do much pruning until the fruit tree conies into bearing if it is necessary to remove large limbs the wounds should be painted over or coated with grafting wax to prevent rot setting in and to encourage rapid healing flowering shrubs also benefit from a light thinning each year after they have reached maturity those that bloom early in the spring or summer should not be pruned until after the flowers fade when a littlef the old growth and as many of the dead blooms as possible should be taken out late bloomers are pruned first thing in the spring ordinary rose bushes are severely pruned back each spring while with the climbers it is customary to take out a good deal of the old wcod any time after the bloom is over with raspberries take out all the yearofd canes following fruiting as next years crop will be borne on the canes produced this summer merely keep currant bushes fom becoming too thick or the main stems too old perennials often there is far too much reluct ance to move perennial flowers not only do most ot these things benefit by a change of quarters every third or fourth year but the constant rear ranging and development of new beds constitutes one of the real joys of gar dening there are two periods when moving is most successfully carried out in the early spring and during september at both times growth is usually dormant and lifting the whole clump or a portion of it dividing with a sharp spade and replanting in moist earth can be carried out with little harm there are few exceptions to the gen eral rule oriental poppies for instance rather difficult to handle at any time should be moved or set out in august while late bloomers like the delphinium are best planted n october in all work of this kind one should bear in mind that the secret of suc cessful transplanting is speed in get ting the roots into the ground and plenty of water the soil must he pressed down firmly all around the plant care must also be taken that the flower is set to the same depth as before with particular attention paid to iris and peonies mere covering of the small roots is enough for the former while an inch on top of the crown will do for the peony

ping wine a charming study body heating system cause of colds whether your body has a good heat ing system or not decides how easily you will take cold this spring dr p schmidt german hygienist told the berlin correspondent of the american medical association dr schmidt had noticed for many years that under tho same circum stances some people take cold much more eauiy than others now using human beings as guinea pigs ho has found out why under his guidance a large number of persons exposed themselves to cold until they were thoroughly chilled then lie mea sured their skin temperature at sev eral intervals until they had all re turned to normal he discovered that most of them regained normal skin temperature in a very short time some however were much slower to warm up to normal ana i these ho discovered were the ones who took cold from exposure the reason for this says dr schmidt is tho contraction of the blood vessels and tissues at a low temperature when contracted they are much less able to fight off germs and bacteria just as an army of men when cramped into close quarters are unable to fight efficiently so the persons whose temperature remain ed low over a long period of time gave tho germs a chance to get the upper hand persons whoso heating systems are ordinarily slow says dr schmidt can speed them up by spending a great deal of time out of doors manages actress a

often flowers at that season it is a pretty ornament on the brow of winter whether its deep cup i white or pale pink and in sheltered situations remains a long time in flower every way there are now signs that the reign of winter is nearly over even when he dozes he can no longer enjoy his long sleep for the snow melts from under him almost as fast as it falls and he feels the i mind ed buds breaking out beneath him the flush of golden light thrown from tho primroses as they catcli the sun shine causes him to rub his dazed eyes and tho singing of tho unloosen ed meadowrunnels falls with a strange sound on his cold deadened ear he knows that spring is hiding somewhere near at hand and that all nature is waiting to break out into flower and song when he has taken his departure we cannot

consider ways to make television pay discussion of the prospects and hopes of television includes the ques tion of who is to pay the bill it will be a goodsized one particularly with the entertainment production cost added according to the associated press various suggestions have been put forward including that of assessing each television set user or owner a small sum for the privilege of looking in methods of collecting and distri bution of such a fund have not been outlined and it might be impossible to work out a practicable plan another suggestion is that the sale of receivers and transmitters might be called upon to pay the way for a time much as it did for broadcasting one obstacle is the necessity of writing oil the cost of research that is preceding the formal introduction of television this is mounting into the thousands even millions and generally is added to tlie cost of a new article in its early marketing stages whatever the plan devised to carry tho load it must recognize the facb that production costs for radio pic tures will lie considerably greater than fof sound entertainment how much greater cannot be predetermined is television to bring about an amal gamation of all forms of entertain ment as at present constituted so that it will be possible to see in the homo everything that can be viewed in other quarters sound itself has pointed the way in that direction with com ment in theatrical publications tend ing to indicate that broadcasting is beginning tp have an effect upon the atre attendance it has been suggested that even cer tain types of
