Moments fend i/qwr .Embarrassing Moment to'tne Editor and it witl be published. INQUISITIVE A man came into the office to see my employer. When I told the visitor that the boss was out, he gave me a letter in an unsealed envelope and asked me to deliver it. After the man had gone, I rec ognized the handwriting on the en velope, and opened it. I was just starting to read the letter when i the man returned. He asked mej to return it to him, as he had de cided to deliver it personally later. I had to hand the letter and the envelope over to him separately! H.

Yet, this is the statement of Mark M. Shoemaker, assistant r cialist in landscape gardening for the Uni versity of Maryland Extension Service. The real purpose of the mulch, he states, is to prevent the sun from thawing out the ground too rapid ly, as therein lies the danger to the roots. Successive freezings and thawings tend to heave newly planted perennials out of the ground, he says. It is not likely, according to Mr. Shoemaker, that freezing of the ground can be prevented by the depth of mulches ordinarily pul on. He advises waiting until alter the first heavy frost, or freeze, be fore doing this garden chore and then doing it while the ground is still frozen. - Pruning in the fall or early spring i6 perfectly safe for some types of flowering phrubs, this specialist says, but it is disastrous for other types. He points out that some kinds of shrubs, such as forsythea, flowering quince, and weigela, which bloom early in the year, produce flowers on wood made the previous summer. Pruning that kind of plants in fall or early spring, he states, removes, wood that would bear bloom. Late summer and fall-blooming shrubs, such as hydrangea, althea, or crepe-myrtle, bloom on wood made during the current season and may be pruned safely. Without worrying about the rea sons, Mr. Shoemaker says, it is a safe rule in most cases to prune immediately after blooming. Bee-Keepers Warned to Leave Sufficient Honey Although there has been no de pression in Beedom during the past summer and old and young have been busy producing one of the fin est crops of Maryland honey, the bee-keeper is arned not to rob his bees too closely of their food and to leave at least 30 pounds of honey for winter consumption. In addition, he should see to it that the little workers are provided with good protection from cold. According to George Abrams, as sistant specialist in bee-keeping for the University of Maryland Exten sion Service, this has been an un-1 usually prrluctive year for the bees; and, if the above precaution is fol lowed, there should be no shortage of rations for Mrs. Bee and her family. Bees should also be kept | warm” by windbreaks and by wrap ping the colonies with tar paper or asphalt paper. Mr. Abrams points out that bees are cold-blooded creatures whose bodies rapidly assume the tempera ture of the surrounding air. If this air temperature drops below a cer tain point, tMe little insects are numbed and soon perish. Unable :rnate like most insects, and on to a warmer climate out jiuestiQB, tljeu rnar. J8C -; the bees to keep warm without arti ficial protection is to gather to gether in a large cluster about the size of a man’s head and produce heat through vigorous shaking of body. legs, and wings. The bees on the outside of the l.yer remain quiet to form an insulating layer and prevent the escape of heat When they become chilled, they trade places with bees on the inside and in turn produce warmth through the process described above. The bee-keeper can be of assistance to himself and his colony if he will see to it that the bees are provided with sufficient protec tion. All weak colonies should be united with strong ones.

BEAUTY HINTS By GLADYS Aiding Beauty After Fifty There are many women in pro fessional or business life who have passed the half-century mark and there are many others of the same age who are trying to find employ ment. but ha discovered that their appearance is against them. Prejudice against the use of make-up by women of 50 or more is rapidly dying out, but oftentimes the women themselves are the ones who keep it alive. Some of them make caricatures of themselves by using too much rouge and powder or placing it incorrectly, while others will not take advantage of any artificial beauty aids. The correct methods of using make-up on older women naturally differs from that which is suitable to younger faces. Here are a few rules for using rouge and powder. 1. Place rouge high on the face, as this counteracts sagging lines. When there are dark wrinkles un der the eyes, apply a cream rouge, then a dark pinkish powder over it. This will make the wrinkles less conspicuous and will make the eyes seem brighter. 2. Use a lighter shade of pow der for the lower part of the face. Our authority suggests a rose mauve shade. 3. Use a dull, soft shade of rouge. Avoid the brilliant shades that are suitable only for youthful faces. 4. Eye shadows, when used, should be placed on the upper lids under the eyebrows and should not extend as far down as the lashes. Silvery tones of eye shadow are best for elderly women whose eyes have faded. ■5. Lipstick should be used spar ingly. The upper lip should re ceive more color than the lower one, but neither should be given an artificial effect. 6 Lashes an' eyebrows should be well-grr med and natural in ef fect. Avoid a make-up look about the eyes. , . . Her coiffure is as important to the woman of 50 or thereabouts as her complexion. A frowsy head of hair carelessly knotted at the back is unpardonable. Her hair should be brushed off her brow, unless her foiahead is usually high, and then waved at the sides and back. Ears are best covered. I Why si around at home wishing you Si were popular?
