Before ' the summer is over, I may Gay Pauley even pack a hamper of ham sandwiches and throw an outdoor feed of my own. In short, I reluctantly join the national trend to eating in na ture's surroundings. Both us people and insects are part of this al fresco dining we con sume parched hot dogs, they consume us. I'm not trying to hold the dike .- . . the onrush is unavoid able. It is estimated that this year we will consume two bil lion meals out of doors. No one has made an estimate for the in sects.

(W Pic tures were meant to do more than fill up an empty space on a wall, says a home furnishings specialist. They can add much to the "general feeling" of a room. Robbie Blakemore, University of Illinois home furnishings ex pert, said that framing and hang ing a picture correctly play a big part in getting the effect you want. Mat should be selected with the room decoration in mind, and kept darker than the light est tone in the picture. Miss Blakemore suggested the picture be hung slightly below the eye level of a standing per son. Strive for good relationship to nearby furniture and wall areas, she said, so that they and the picture will form a unit When hanging groups of pic tures, avoid a jagged effect by making sure the bottom or tops of the frames are the same distance from the floor.

We will spend a record 100 mil lion dollars, in addition, on equipment for outdoor cookery. Society With Peeves But I say it's time we elimi nated some of the pitfalls. Let us form a National Society For Prevention Of Cruelty To Picknickers NSFPOCTP with these suggested planks in the platform. Feel free to add your own peeves". Down with hot dogs never hot; cold beer never cold. Away with the showoff chef, in outlandish cap and silly-sayings apron. Let him settle down to the business at hand and turn out an expensive t-bone to a "t." Cook the barbecued chicken in side too. Also, let he who messes up wash up the mess. Down with the. monotony of menu. In a given three outdoor meals each summer, we run the gamut potato salad, potato salad, potato salad. One poten til member of the NSFOCTP says the only thing he enjoys about picnics is the first course cocktails. If we must dine outside, leave us return to the menus of the all-day Sunday meeting and din ner on the ground. Wasn't much refrigeration in those days, but we ate well. There was plenty of variety from homefried chicken to homemade chocolate fudge cake, by the time you'd made the rounds. Away with sand in hambur bers, with cooks who add salad dressing three hours before salad is served, with soggy tuna fish sandwiches, with iced coffee in paper cups means for hot and hot coffee in paper cups meant for iced. Juggling Contest Lost Down with lap dining, where I inevitably lose the juggling contest and make mayonnaise part of the costume of the day. At least at an indoor buffet, you usually can locate an end table for parking knife and fork. Forward with the comforts of cooking indoors where science and industry have given us girls every labor-saving de vice including automatic dish washer. Forward with dining- room dining, with the air-conditioning unit on. Maybe this way, I cot no view. But I got no mosquito bites or poison ivy either. And no bad temper from combatting Sunday traffic. Another potential member of my NSFPOCTP said it occurs to him the picnic season offers the solution to the mystery of each summer's rash of flying saucer stories. He said they are just angry picnickers throwing away their paper plates! 4 Last Week's Winners Announced by Club Camp White Mrs. Frank Baker and Paul Hatton scored 133 Vi points to lead north-south players for the last session of Camp White Veterans Bridge club.

The recent unit workshop, in structed by Mrs. Hammond, was well attended. Mrs. Geri Byrd modeled a style calle "wing cal yps." It is described as a style which 'hugs the face on either side in soft waves sweeping back into a new version of the popular feather cut with a brushed up effect from nape to crown." A new version of the Italian or Roman style called the Top," swings and dips into soft waves from a swept back top." Beautic ians say this style is easily man aged by the wearer and should prove popular.

Gardener Answers Questions Oh Shady Spots, Poor Soil BY EDNA KING MANDEVILLE Any one who has talked with flower gardeners (and not just the beginners) hears two ques tions asked more than any others. Question No. 1 is, "what flow ers to plant in a shady spot." In al frankness, if it is real, all-day shade, you had better not try flowers. Some ground cover like myrtle or packy sandra is much more suitable. But if it is par tial shade, flowers are by no means impossible, I think I should put sweet william near the top of the list. It does do wel in partial shade. Try the "regular" strain for cut ting. But there' is a dwarf sweet william that is most attractive. Tliey are both easy to grow and both are perennials. Columbine is another, al though I should not call it easy to grow. Its delicate colors make it most attractive. I especially re commend the Mrs. Scott Elliot variety. The annual candytuft does surprisingly well in partial shade. So do pansies. They like the cool ness that the shade provides. Fe tunia does better than most var ieties in semi-shade. Try the more hardy varieties like Hy brida and the dwarf Nana Com pacts. The large flower types such as the giants of California, Theodosia, ai.d the double var ieties need more sunshine. Other "partial shade" varie ties are Canterbuy bells, fox glove, sweet wivelsfield and viola. The other frequently asked question is what to plant in poor soil. It is surprising how many flowers will do well in quite ordinary soil. Bachelor's button is a good example. As the name implies, they are quite individ ualistic by nature. They are not dependent on soil for their pro duction. Four o'clocks are an other. You might think that plants so large would have to have plenty of nourishment that rich soil provides. But it does not seem to work out that way. Given ordinary soil and sun shine, four o'clocks will thrive. Shirley poppies are a hardy lot. As you know they grow wild in some sections of France. If sown broadcast over even poor soil, they will grow and bloom. A mass of Shirley's is a gorg eous sight, especially when the sun is shinning on them. Port ulaca is another "ordinary soil" variety. Sunshine is much more important to portulaca, sunshine and warm weather. It does no STARCHING Premium quality! Mixes penetrates washable evenly, Iron ins u smoother, easier; results beautiful ... every time. Concentrated, foes farther, costs less. good to plant portulaca before the ground is real warm. Now we come to a group of flowers that actually prefer poor soil. At the top of this list is nasturtium. If you plant it in rich soil, it grows very well, But it does not flower; it goes to leaves. You are likely to have lovely foliage and very few flow ers. Alyssum is another outstand ing "poor-soil-preferred" variety. It seems to grow most anywhere Especially snow cloth, the pure white strain that grows just a few inches tall and spreads out to make a mound of glistening white. The California poppies are even less interested in the rich ness of the soil than the Shir ley's. They also grow wild in California. While in the Shirley's the reds predominate, in the Cal ifornia 'strain, the outsanding colors are orange and yellow. Last but not least, is the an nual candytuft. These little flow ers will grow most anywhere. Their outstanding virtue is their color fulness.' Its color range in cludes carine, flesh pink, lilac, crimson, rose pink, and white. Candytuft is especially recom mended for low borders and for rock gardens. So do not hesitate to garden because your soil is not rich. In some instances that is actually an asset. 4 CALENDAR Calendar notices and newt for the society section of The Mail Tribune must be submitted in writing and deadline for the Sun day edition Is 1 p.m Friday Dead line for the weekly calendar is 9 vm of the day of publication and for week day news is 5 cm. the day before publication.

Our son won't visit us for the holidays. Peter P. My wife's folks want us at their home. .' '.. Mrs. E. P. Our son has been married for three years and lives in another city. We have gone to visit him several times and he has come down to see us once or twice, but we are very unhappy that we cannot get him home on any religious or civil holiday. At these times he and his wife go to visit her parents. The young couple now has a 6-month-old baby, and of course, we are very anxious to see more of our grandchild.

Talent Woman Is Advisor For Baking Contest Pillsbury Mills, Inc!, has an nounced that Mrs. Murray Sut ton, Talent, has been named a national advisor for the coming ninth national recipe and bak ing contest Mrs. Sutton was a finalist in the eighth contest. Pillsbury has also announced that it is moving the baking con test to Beverly Hills in Los Ange les county, California, this fall. "The west coast has produced half of the bake-off winners to date, ' the statement said. "In eight contests, four west coast women have taken the top prize; nine have taken runner-up prizes and out of 800 finalists, 102 have traveled from the west coast to New York for the finals. "Bake-off dates have been changed to October 14-15 to tie in more closely with the peak baking season and to permit publication of prize-winning rec ipes well before Christmas. "Contest rules will remain essentially the same, with the prize structure similar to last, year. There will be a section fpr brides and for teen-agers as in past years. The contest wil again be judged in its preliminary stage by the Lloyd-Herrold organiza tion of Chicago and at the bake- off itself by a panel of leading home economists. ou're Wearing Antiques YouH lovt the comfort of stockings that S-TJt-E-T-C-H to fit you!

The only time we saw the child was shortly after he was born, when we went to visit. We feel we have the right to the pleasure of our children' company on holiday! that are important to us. Our son is very unfair. -Pater P. I am very sorry that things have worked out at they have for my parents, but I don't see what I can do about it. My wife is very attached to her parents as they arc to her. They are extremely insist ent about having us for the hol idays. As a matter of fact, I would prefer to stay home for some of the holidays, but they just don't let us. I don't want to be unfair to my parents but, after all, they have my brother at home with them and my wife's parents arc all alone. They don't seem to realize that this makes a big difference. My wife says I can go to my folks by myself for the holidays if I want to, but I don't like to have her traveling alone with the baby. The Council: "I am very sorry that things have worked out as they have for my parents" says Peter overlooking the fact they have "worked out as they have" for him, as well. Surely Peter has some desire of his own to be with his par ents for an occasional holiday. Or is he so pressured by his in laws that he no longer knows what his own desires are? Sure ly, he would like to give his child the benefit of contact with his family as well as his wife's. Or has he so readily given up all claim to his rights in this matter? Peter's wife and her parents are being quite unfair in ex erting so much pressure in this matter. The fact that Peter Has a brother at home is aside from the point. These parents want contact with Peter and his fam ily as well. It is also reasonable for Peter to want to spend an occasional holiday in his own home. Peter should speak up for him self in this matter. It can be done tactfully, with the explan ation that he will still be spend ing some of the holidays with his in-laws. .He is only asking for a reasonable amount of free dom from pressure.-;.
