THURSDAY, APRIL 30, 1953 THE TRANSYLVANIA TIMES, BREVARD, NORTH CAROLINA PAGE SEVEN Little Items Of Lively Interest About Folks And GA KING By Mrs. S. R. Harrington Run to your garden, and down to the brook; Search for the flowers in each secret nook; Trim littleJ>a5kets and fill them all up With violets, pansies, sweet lily-cup; Hang them on door knobs and then run away, That’s what you do on the first day of May! —Eakman I think no one will have trouble finding flowers for their “May bas kets.” Of all years I believe 1953 has produced the most flowers. I’ve never seen the gardens and the woods so enchantingly beautiful. God has certainly been generous with flowering plants and trees this year. Weeds should not trouble garden ers now, for we have certainly had the ideal weather for weeding— cold and dry. I trust you have tak en advantage of it. I have. Dahlia lovers can continue plant ing this grand flower until about the middle of June. So don’t think it’s too late. If you were fortunate enough to get one of those lovely potted Eas ter Lilies, take good care of it. Riddle's FOR FIRST CLASS Dependable Work At Reasonable Prices See Our Line Of Art Supplies Times Arcade When the bloom fades, and before it dies in the pot, plant the bulb outdoors between shrubs, or at the base of a shrub,- and mulch about two inches with decomposed com post or leafmold. Some gardeners prefer to start flowers from seeds instead of plants. For those who do, outdoor sowing now includes marigolds, zin nias, cosmos, asters, celosia, cafen- dulas, morning glories, scabiosa, alyssum, and any kind of annual. As they sprout, keep the seedlings well watered and weeded (by hand pulling) so that they will have no check to their growth. If you’re tired of morning glories (and I doubt it), try the cardinal climber, an annual vine of great vigor with brilliant flowers. For a pleasant change in the gar den, plant “flowers for fragrance.” Mignonette, heliotrope, night-scent ed stock and nicotiana will delight you. Winter is a long time off, but if you like dried flower arrange ments, plant some statice and strawflowers now to cut and dry for those arrangements. Seeds of perennials can be sown now in special seed beds. The young plants can be transplanted in the fall and will be ready for flowering next year. Saves lots of money and really gives you a fine collection. Give peonies a dressing of fer tilizer or water with liquid manure. Plant some of the gorgeous and exotic-looking tigridias in full sun . . For shade, try the lovely calla lilies . . . Tuberoses also go in now Continue to plant gladiolus ev ery two or three weeks to give a succession of bloom all summer. Flower reporting should start with the garden at the Brown Carr’s. Despite the hard freezes and tv,p garden has been a glory of bloom ^ ^^^il^Llicent garden in every IS lovely every month in the year. Ignoring the unseasonally cold weather are the enchantingly col orful tulips at Mrs. Neva Page’s, Mrs. Ben Montgomery’s, Mrs. Susie Coleman’s, Mrs. Keith Wright’s, Mrs. Henry Henderson’s, Mrs. Chas. Dunlop’s, Mrs. Few Lyda’s, Mrs. Rachel Gravely’s, Mrs. J. C. Wike’s, Mrs. Beecher Mull’s and the D. T. Abercrombie’s. The pearl bush (exochorda), at Mrs. W. M. Melton’s is eye-arresting with its shimmering white beauty In Rosman a galaxy of marvel ous tulips can be seen at Mrs. George Galloway’s. So long, gardeners!

From The Bookshelf True Personality Of Mary Lincoln Revealed In Biography By Randall Having Family Fun And Meeting Problems Sub ject Of Book By RUTH BARNARD County Librarian MARY LINCOLN; BIOGRAPHY OF A MARRIAGE by Ruth Painter Randall: Mary Todd Lincoln is probably the most maligned of famous wom en in our nation’s history. The truth about the president’s wife has for years been hidden under a mountain of myth built up largely by Lincoln’s biographer and law partner, William H. Herndon. Now for the first time the true woman beneath that myth is presented in a warmly sympathetic biography based on new research. When the veil of legend surrounding her is torn aside, an entirely new picture of a woman and a marriage emerg- People said Lincoln really loved Ann Rutledge, that his marriage was a cross he had to bear, that he tried to avoid it, that his wife hurt him politically though she drove him to the presidency, that she em barrassed him financially as well as socially and inflicted on him the agony of adjustment to her psycho pathic personality. Here is the evi dence which restores Mary Todd Lincoln to her rightful place in his tory and in the affections of the American people—as a wife and mother who possessed, and fully earned, the love and admiration of her husband. Through the eyes of the people who knew the Lincolns, through the long-lost telegrams and letters they sent each other, this is the story of their day-to-day family life togeth er. It begins with Springfield, Illi nois, and the stormy Lincoln court ship. Then they are married and neighbors come to the door in shirt sleeves, wearing an apron. But of ten he is off riding the legal cir cuit and Mary sits at home alone, Lincoln is elected to the presiden cy and the Lincolns enter the ex citement and fear of wartime Wash ington. Now Mary must entertain not her Springfield friends, but the official friends and opponents of the admin istration. She refurnishes the White House and spends more than her $20,000 appropriation — much to her sorrow and Mr. Lincoln’s. And far deeper sorrow overwhelms the Lincolns when their beloved son Willie takes sick and dies. Mary COLEMAN TIRE CO. Dial 3-4491 AGENCY FOR U. S.

This the 2nd day of April, 1953 RALPH H. RAMSEY, JR. Commissioner 4-9-4tc is grief-stricken; the days when Mr. Lincoln reports that she “is not well” become more frequent. Fi nally, Ford’s theater, and the presi dential couple sit, holding hands in the last minutes of Mr. Lincoln’s life. Alone, Mary travels to Europe and back. For years congress de lays giving her the pension she feels she deserves. And even her son Robert turns against her and she is tried twice for her “insanity.” Then at last she returns to her home in Springfield. About The Author t one minute after midnight, July 27, 1947, Mrs. Randall—^wife of J. G. Randall, our foremost Lin coln scholar and author of “Lincoln The President”—was present at the opening of the Lincoln papers. In addition to consulting this original evidence, she made full use of the Herndon-Weik papers, the notes which were the basis for Herndon’s biography. Mrs. Randall also had access to little-known manuscript collections and to private safe-de- posit boxes which yielded letters never before used. The result of tiiese researches is a biography which answers once and for all, the charges leveled against Mary Todd Lincoln for nearly a hundred years. ALL IN THE FAMILY by Rhoda W. Bacmeister: Have you met your own family? Do you really know and understand its members as individuals? Can you provide the ideal setting for happiness within your own home. This admirable book offers you constructive help in making the most of your family life. A compan ion volume to Mrs. Bacmeister’i “Growing Together,” winner of the Parent’s magazine gold medal award as the outstanding book for parents of 1947. “All In The Fam ily” charts a sound course for close family unity and warm relation ships. One of our leading authorities on the development and guidance of children and their families, Mrs. Bacmeister here reveals the gold en rewards of happy family life, free from tension and discord. She offers sane solutions for everyday problems and suggests common- sense ways to avoid those problems the first place. She shows pa rents how to have fun with their children, how to share both gala oc casions and household tasks with equal pleasure, how to enjoy being a homemaker rather than a house keeper, how to 'shoulder the re sponsibility of parenthood and re main unruffled by its demands. Informal, readable, copiously il lustrated by case histories and dents, this wise and pleasantly un dogmatic volume offers fundamen tal advice to all who seek the se crets of successful family living. When William was getting ready for college he told the family, “I wish you all would stop calling me ‘Big Bill’.” “Why?” they asked. “College names sometimes stick, and you know I am going to be a doctor.” “Not only has he a one track mind but his train of thought is always late.” Piano Tuning and Repair Clayton C.
