There seems to be nothing the
young bride can’t do nowadays
and still keep within the tenets of
good taste laid down by Mrs.
Grundy. She can be married in
pink. She can march to the altar
decked in diaphanous green. She
can be unconventional in white
cotton. And she can go complete
ly modern in a wedding dress of
sheerest wool. No longer is ivory
brocade an edict which the well
dressed bride must follow. It is
her privilege and duty to be beau
tifully gowned. The bars have
been lifted.
Whether you would set back the
clock, if you had it to do over
again, and veer away from an ivory
wedding gown, is beside the point
right now. The interesting factor
in this revolutionary trend in fa
brics, is that cotton can be so
lovely and wool so sheer that it
can be draped to fit the majesty
of a wedding gown.
You have been offered trans
parent wrappings and transparent
sippers for imbibing soft drinks.
One of the newer members of the
ubiquitous clan that looks like
glass and is as light as air, is a
line of doillies and runner sets that
are made of fishnet fabric of slit
cellulose. The runners are oblig
ingly washable and lend a smart
note to any table setting.

an hour. In no instance did the
commercial product exceed in
price the homemade, by more than
eleven cents. Ease of preparation

Texture and palatability receivec

Looking ahead to Spring and
Summer you can be selecting th<
materials and colors that will bf
new and in high fashion for Spring
suits, dresses and sweaters. Fabric
idustries have been working top
:peed to bring you the new colors
n light-weight fabrics and yarns.
Colors to wear with tweed: soft
leaf green, brown, Oxford mix
tures and beige. A black suit or
skirt is set off to advantage with
the pastels, dust pin, Blue Bonnet
Blue and corn yellow. Grey which
Paris predicts as a strong fash
ion note, is strictly a Leap Year
style when it is combined with
the populaf new shade of rust.

Salmon Souffle: Combine 1 1-2
cups flaked, canned salmoq,, 6
crumbled j^da crackers, 2 cups of
hot milk, 1 finely minced onion,
2 egg yolks and 1-2 teaspoon of
salt. Mix all together lightly and
fold in 2 egg whites whipped stiff.
Pile into an oiled casserole and
bake 40 minutes in a slow oven at
325 degrees F.
A Place tor everything and ev

Quality Tobacco
Starts In Seed Bed
A well constructed seed bed will
protect young tobacco plants from
disease and enable them to develop
into hardy, thrifty specimens that
will grow well in the field.
Dr. Luther Shaw, extension plant
i pathologist at State College, gives
j the following suggestions for tobac
co plant beds:
Locate the bed in a warm, sunny
place with a southern or southwest
jern exposure. The soil should be
I loamy and well drained. Do not
place the bed on a site where a bed
has been within the past four years.
Box the bed with planks extend
ing six inches above the surface of
the soil. Stretch wire across the
bed, or place forked sticks in the
j ground, to keep the canvas from
touching the earth.
Or the bed may be covered with
a thin layer of oat or wheat straw,
with the canvas resting on the
straw. When the weather will
permit, roll back the cover for
a while during the day to give the
plants fresh air and sunlight.
It is better to have small beds
than one large bed, as this lessens
the possibility of all plants becom
ing infected with disease. A
hundred square yards of bed will
produce 10,000 to 15,000 plants.
One ounce of seed will sow 300
square yards of bed.
Two hundred pounds of a 4-8-3
fertilizer mixture is enough for
each 100 yards of bed. Thorough
ly mix it with the upper three or
four inches of soil.
Be especially careful to keep the
beds free from blue mold or tobac
co mosaic infections. This is im
portant.
Dr. Shaw suggested that growers
wishing more information write the
agricultural editor at State College,
for extension circular No. 207,
"Approved Practices in Handling
Tobacco Plant Beds,” and for ex
periment station bulletin No. 297,
"Practices Relating to Control of
Tobacco Mosaic.”

Forced Blossoms
Bring Winter Beauty
To Home
Small branches cut from trees or
shrubs and placed in warm water
inside the house will blossom sev
eral weeks before the advent of
spring.
A few such branches placed in
containers about a room will
brighten it with the effect of
spring while winter is still reigning
outside, said Miss Anne Pauljne
Smith, district home agent at State
College.
The woods offer many possibili
ties for indoor forcing, she pointed
out. The maples are lovely in old
brass, copper, or pottery containers.
The black alder, with its lcng red
dish brown catkins, makes an un
usually decorative plant for forc
ing.
I he yellow jasmine, the lovely
vine which makes cistern Carolina
woods so beautiful in spring, can be
forced guickly, Miss Smith said.
The gnarled forms of the flower
ing dogwood, the redstemmed dog
wood, and the spice bush are high
ly decorative.
Fruit tree blossoms — apples,
pears, peaches, and cherries as well
as the flowering crab, Japanese
cherry, and hawthorne—are favor
ites with many indoor gardners.
Wild plums, pussy willows, Jap
anese quince, honeysucle, the nak
ed jasmine, forsythia, deutizia, sy
ringa, lilac, and the spireas are also
beautiful indoors when arranged
tastefully about a room.
If you wish to watch that mys
tery called "life” unfold in deli
cate beauty, force some lilies-of
the-valley. Place them in wet sand
or sphagnum moss which can be ob
tained from a florist.
A few simple rules should be ob
served, Miss Smith pointed out.
Take the chill off the water before
placing the twigs in it. Don’t let
the plants get too cold at night or
too warm during the day. Keep the
container filled with water. Cut
healthy branches, not too old.

Traveling Around America
READY FOR A TURN AROUND
DECK
'T’HIS strangely assorted trio are
* all ready for a turn around deck.
Miss Ann Serafin, waitress on the
Santa Lucia, is shown perched pre
cariously on a turtle with a three
months-old wildcat in her hands—
two passengers who became her
particular friends on the voyage up
from South America.
The turtle, one of the ugliest,
most hard-boiled-looking animals in
the world, belongs to a family living
on the Galapagos Islands which can
trace its ancestry back to deluvian
times—land turtles which achieve a
weight of 500 pounds and live to a
ripe old age of 300 years. This par
ticularly tough-looking native son
came north to go civilized in the
Bronx Zoo, New York.
The ocelot is a tropical edition of
the wildcat, or tiger cat and when
full grown is only 8 feet long. He
is an agile tree climber and preys
mainly on birds. Although much
more beautiful and more Innocent
to look upon than the monster tur
tle, the ocelot is at heart, and often
in action, a little savage. He may he
tamed and pampered to the point
where he is seemingly Quite civil
ised yet one sniff of t fowl, his fa
vorite food, is always a signal for
a chicken-house raid.
Frog Jumping
Test Is Urged
Washington.—An all-American
frog-jumping show with "entries
from every State in the Union” will
be held here in the spring if Fred
Orsinger has his way.
As director of the Commerce De
partment’s auarium, Orsinger is
passionately interested in frogs ancl
fishes. He hopes the contest will
be held while Congress is in ses
sion so Legislators can be the offi
cial sponsors for the contestants.
A few weeks ago Orsinger was|
balked when he tried to arrange a1
broadcast of a scrap between fight- j
ing fishes. A law forbiding the!
"matching of beast against beast or
man against beast” was cited.

they acted under provisions of the

stands in the American mind
not merely for oratory of the
highest order, but for that
power of speech devoted to the
service of the nation. No man in
his time inspired our people to
a love of country and a pro
found faith in its immortal des
tiny moie eloquently than did
this patriot and political thinker.
Webster was born at Salis
bury, just outside of Concord,
New Hampshire, on January 18,
1782, and his seventy years of
life coincided with the formative
period of our Republic—from
the dawn of the nation to the
: eve of the Civil War. His mem
ory is preserved in imperishable
stone throughout the land, but
none of the memorials was
erected with greater civic pride
than the ope standing on the
New Hampshire State House
grounds in Concord.
As a boy, Webster was deli
cate and sickly. The amazing
mental and oratorical energy
wnicn ne aispiaycu in nis Dusy
life represents a conquest of j
mind over matter He attended
Exeter Academy and was gradu
ated from Dartmouth College.
In later years he defended the
charter rights oi Dartmouth
with magnificent passion.
After being admitted to the
Bar he quickly built up a lucra
tive practice. His eloquence at
tained nationwide recognition.
Political prominence Was not
long in following, and he became J
a dominant figure in national
affairs. Although thwarted in
his Presidential aspirations,
Webster was a great political
power.
His addresses in Congress and
on patriotic occasions have be
come classics which schoolboys
of succeeding generations de
claimed along with the Declara
tion of Independence and the
Preamble to the Constitution.
He died at Marshfield, Mass.,
which had long been his home,
on October 24, 1852.
