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!

A SPELL BINDER
While I was counsellor at j. boys'
camp during the summer, I was
asked to deliver a talk. I was anx
ious to read it aloud before I pre
sented it. As I had no privacy in
^ my own quarters, I went to a quiet
spot in the park near us, and pro
ceeded to go over the speech aloud
In the midst of my rehearsal, I
glanced up to find the camp di
rector and a few of his friends
laughing at me! T. M.

Mulch Protects Plants From
Heat Rather Than Cold
,, That a winter mulch of straw or
leaves, or a covering of. burlap, is
a protection to tender shrubs or
other perennial plants from heat
rather than cold, will come as a
surprise to many gardeners. 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.
