Lew Christensen was a mem
ber of the Ballet Caravan which

ballet at first dominated by the
Russians, with their romantic
type of presentation, is now
dominated by Americans with
the first real period of classicism
which ballet has enjoyed.
Mr. Christensen states that
what he terms "second genera

represented chiefly by two com

Abraham Lincoln Expert
Misses 'Money' Question
New York CU.R) A Georgian
expert on Abraham Lincoln last
night became the first person
to miss the S64,000 question on
the television quiz show of that
name.
Robert Edward Bennett, a
store clerk of Kingsland, Ga.,
and his "guest expert," Ralph
G. Newman, proprietor of the
Abraham Lincoln bookshop in
Chicago, went down on the first
part of a complicated multi-part
question for the show's jackpot.

21 N. CENTRAL
By EDNA MANDEVILLE
Any true flower lover knows
how important color is to a gar
den, and how the just right bal
ance of colors can make your
garden sing. In this column I
plan to give you a few helpful
tips on the right colors to pick
for a harmoneous effect.
Of course whole books could
be (and are) written just about
color in the garden, but this is
no place for a lengthy dis
course, especially when color is
so much a matter of individual
taste. Before I scare off any
prospective flower gardeners by
over-stressing the importance of
color harmony, I do want to
say that it's not quite as vital
as it might seem. Even a garden
planned without a thought to
color harmony is still a beauti
ful thing, thanks to nature.
But as you become more fa
miliar with flowers, it's nat
ural to develop a liking for
some colors more than others.
Thus the following suggestions
of different color varieties and
color combinations should prove
valuable to the beginner as well
as the more experienced home
gardener.
Here are the varieties most
often used to produce a parti
cular color:
Whites: Snow cloth alyssum,
arabis, white cap aster, gypso
phila, snow-in-summer, balcony
white petunia, white verbena,
purity zinnia.
Pinks: Los Angeles aster,
pinkie bachelor's button, pink
queen cleome, pink larkspur,
rose of heaven petunia, balcony
rose petunia, sweet briar poppy,
rosebud lilliput zinnia, Miss
Willmott giant zinnia.
Yellows: Gold dust alyssum,
sunshine calendula, cosmos yel
low flare, sunburst coreopsis,
yellow pigmy marigold, sunny
marigold, yellow supreme mari
gold, scotch marigold, mammoth
mum marigold, golden gleam nas
turtium,, golden globe nastur
tium, buttercup snapdragon,
sungold sunflower, daffodil zin
nia, creeping zinnia, star dust
fantasy zinnia.
Oranges: Cosmos orange flare
and fiesta, orange king calen-

dula, orange shaggy calendula,
gaillardia, m e lo d y marigold,
real gold marigold, guinea gold
marigold, Siberian wallflower,
orange queen giant zinnia, Val
encia (lilliput) zinnia.
Reds: Red boy bachelor's but
ton, sparkler carnation, torea
dore celosia, scarlet flax, Jeru
salem cross, scarlet gleam nas
turtium, fire chief petunia, Gen
eral Dodds petunia, balcony red
petunia, American Legion pop
py, bonfire salvia, St. John's
fire salvia, scarlet defiance ver
bena, little red riding hood zin
nia, cherry queen zinnia, me
teor zinnia wildfire fantasy
zinnia, Will Rogers zinnia.
Blues: Ageratum, blue bird an
chusa, navy blue aster, blue boy
and jubilee gem bachelor's but
ton, balloon flower, blue bells of
California, delphinium, peren
nial flax, forget-me-not, sky blue
or dark blue larkspur, crystal
palace lobelia, nemophila, heav
enly blue or dark blue .petunia,
heavenly blue or blue cockade
scabiosa.
Before I list some of the color
combinations, let me pause to
mention one aspect of flower
gardening that often baffles the
beginners. This is the problem
of just when to plant all
these different varieties. In the
past, unfortunately, instructions
on most flower seed envelopes
have been too general to be very
helpful. Now, however, the seed
packets of the Mandeville &
King company solve this prob
lem by carrying a map on the
back, showing just when to plant
in any locality.'
To return to the color com
binations, I must stress again
that this is largely a matter of
personal taste. But I list here
some of the most tested and
popular pairings: Rose of heaven
petunia bordered by bluecap
ageratum, sky blue larkspur
with exquisite pink larkspur,
golden west marigold bordered
by balcony purple petunia, scar
let defiance verbena bordered
by snow cloth alyssum, orange
king calendula bordered by crys
tal palace lobelia, bluebird an
chusa bordered by golden gleam
nasturtium, real gold marigold
bordered by firmament forget-me-nots,
St. John's fire salvia
bordered by snowstorm petunia.
Any of these beautiful com
binations will present a truly
compelling spectacle. Both be
ginners and experienced garden
ers might do well to try one or
more in their flower gardens this
year.

Fancy Table Linens
Return to Fashion
New York 0J.R) Fancy table
linens are back.
These "art" linens include
those with Madeira embroidery,
drawn work, hem-stitching, ap
plique, crochet, tatting and
fringed or scalloped edges.
Actually the phrase table lin
en no longer designates the ma
terial because the "linen' may
be cotton, rayon, no-iron nylon,
sheer nylon, a quick drying ray-on-dacron
blend, or linen. It also
can be in the traditional white
or ecru, or in a whole range of
pastel shades.
Whatever the type, make sure
before you purchase that it will
launder well. New linens need
washing before use for appear
ance and sanitary reasons. Td
remove stain from stamping ink
use a weak bleach solution and
then launder.
The Cleanliness Bureau said
that all but the very fragile em
broidered pieces can be machine
washer. Some items, however,
are safer if put into a mesh laun
dry bag or pillow case for protection.
The U.S. postal service han
dled 52,21, 170,387 pieces of
mail during the calendar year
of 1954.
