Specialist Advises
On Use of Pictures
Champaign, 111. (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.

1 84 per cent of us this year will
have at least one outdoors meal.
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!

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

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.

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.

had the baby at the other grand
parents' home twice, but have
never visited us with the child.
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.-;.
