For winter protection, a pyramid of short plant stakes draped with burlap is admirable. Iris prefers sunny locations, but Siberian iris can stand more moisture.

Tulips also are being developed there and: in Michigan and Diong Island, but the domestic supply will be only about half that normally used. Hyvacinths, grape-hyacinths, crocus, ixias and colchicums will be practically unobtainable this fall. So it is little wonder that gardeners this year are cherishing the bulbs they have as babies.

We, the Women Don’t ‘Baby’ The Draftee; He's Over 21

JANE JORDAN

DEAR JANE JORDAN—I am 18 years old, have been married for over three years and have a baby almost two years old. My husband is one of the best husbands a girl could have but I do not love him, or think I don’t. I met his brother about three months ago and we fell in love with each other. The brother wants me to get a divorce so he can marry me, If I get a divorce I can’t have my baby as my husband won't give it up. I can’t be completely happy with the baby if I do not have the one I love, and my husband isn’t happy because I can't respond to him when I love someone else. He has a very loving nature. I can’t be happy without my baby or without the brother. What would be the best for us all? I've lost all interest in our home and everything. LONELY SUE.

Answer—Even if you were able to exchange husbands and keep the baby I doubt if you'd be happy. For one thing I question the motives of a man who covets his brother's wife. It does not indicate strong love for you as much as it indicates a strong wish to triumph over his brother. My guess is that these brothers have been rivals all their lives and that each suspected his mother of prefering the other. In other words it probably is not the first time that these men have contended for a woman's love. You've been taken in by a situation which appeals to your vanity. I do not know what you have against your husband but I know that your new love is tinged with resentment against the old love. In transferring your affection from your husband to his brother you are paying off a score of some sort. What more crushing blow could you deal his pride than that of allowing his brother to be victorious over him? What happiness could be wrung from a situation in which there is more hate than love? When two people join each other in mutual hate for another what is left after their desire to hurt has been gratified? Any reasonable person would know that a man with so little loyalty to his brother would not be able to love his brother's child. You could not expect unprejudiced judgments or fair decisions where the baby was concerned. Actually both men would be better off without you, but the baby's interests come first, and. it would be better for it if you become reconciled to its father. If you are selfish enough to marry the brother, do be unselfish enough to leave the baby with its father. JANE JORDAN,

Fresh Beverages Have Best Flavor

For most delicious iced coffee and iced tea, brew the beverage double strength and pour hot over ice cubes or crushed ice. Freshly brewed tea and coffee are always best flavored. You'll want good heavy cream in the coffee and a slice each of lemon and orange in the tea. :

When he wrote home complaining of the food, or the heat, or the strenuous physical life, did they go easy on their sympathy and make light of his experience, or did they write him how terrible they thought it was for him to have to go through all that and encourage him to grumble in every letter home? When he was careless about Army regulations and was disciplined for it did they get in a huff and tell him they thought it was a crying shame and they had a good mind to write their Senator, and let him know what was going on, or did they make a joke of it and remind him that he was “in the Army now?”

they brag about him a little in his presence and let the conversational spotlight fall on him when friends dropped in, giving him a chance to show off his new knowledge, or did they take the “Poor Willie” attitude and make him out a victim instead of a hero? In other words, did they “baby” him or treat him as the man of 21 or more he is? How parents answer those questions will give them a good idea of whether the Army rates their son’s morale “splendid” or “poor.”
