One of the lovliest gardens we

dahlias as big as a harvest moon
rows and rows of jolly sweet peas
—here’s a rare treat for you.
Mrs. Mayer complains gently that
she rarely gets a glimpse of her
husband for he’s up at five and
digs until dark—but he loves it. We
enjoy our shopping trips over to
Mayers—first of all because their
vegetables are always fresh and)
delicious—but best of all because
we enjoy the coolness and the quiet
and the fragrance of their garden.

Washability Expert At
Pomeroy’s Gives Advice
~~
“Buy twins when you're shopping
for your fall foundations and you'll
always cut a good figure in the new
slim fashions,” says Miss . Celeste
Fellman, Lux washability expert
who is a guest of Pomeroy’s this
“Every woman knows how
pdirs of stockings at a time—so why
not extend the idea to foundations?
Then you'll always have one of the
right type to wear while the other
is being Luxed. Washing a founda-
tion after every few wearings will
help retain its elasticity, keep it
trim-fitting longer.
“Remember, ' smartness starts
with a firm foundation. This year
for that pencil-slim look you'll want
the new long-torso = foundations.
Waistlines are more nearly normal
and not quite so accented as with
the wasp-waisted corsets. The new
clothes are designed for the figure
with a long, smooth curve from
bust to thigh.
“Today’s foundations iron out hip
bulges and ’spare tires’ like magic,
but still ‘give” enough for comfort.
And they're as easy to wash as a!
slip. Whisking them out in gentle
Lux suds a couple of times a week
helps them keep their fit, wear long-

Her 32nd Birthday With Friends
| You have to be in your nineties’
before you have earned the right to
| enjoy a week of birthdays and that’s
| exactly what Mrs. Rachel Wyckoff
did when she celebrated her 92nd
| this week.
{| Friends started calling on Mon-
day, many of them old and dear
;ones who never. forget birthdays,
|and when we left Wednesday as the
moon was coming over the hill, still
{ another car full of young folks was
|just driving in. Perhaps the most
distinguished of all the birthday vis-
itors was Mrs. Atherton who is 93
(and just as keen and lively as Mrs.
Wyckoff herself. Mrs. Atherton and
Mrs. Wyckoff are old friends and
chatted like school girls of days
| gone by.
It’s fun to visit the Wyckoffs at
any time—but it’s jolly on a birth-
day. There are packages with dain-
ty wrappings, - bowls of garden flow-
ers, a jar of the season’s freshest
preserves, cards with cheerful mes-
sages, and best of all, Mrs. Wyckoff.
Bright-eyed, eager, alert, she begins
her 93rd year as enthusiastically as
most of us do our 21st.
“lI always enjoy my birthdays,”
laughed the little woman bronzed
by the sun. “On. my 90th I went
to church and all of my friends
stood up to greet'me. Then in the
afternoon many of them surprised
me here at Dallas. It was good to
have them. I shall always remem-
ber my 90th birthday.” And she
looked a bit wistful.
“Don’t hurry,” protested Mrs.
Wyckoff as we rose to go, and she
gave our hand an affectionate
squeeze. “I love to have company.
It doesr’t tire me to visit.”
And we know now that it doesn’t.
For we find that she arose rested
and happy on Thursday morning and
was digging in her garden when we
came to work.
