» » » By MARGUERITE SMITH DEEP SHADE doesn’t stop Luther Dickerson, former city librarian, from having a flower garden at his home, 409 W. 44th St. He's found that spring flowering bulbs do well unger growing trees that would discourage other plants. In fact, his flower bed is an unqualified success, for even the neighborhood rabbits enjoy it. And when he sprinkled a “surefire” rabbit repellent liberaliy around the snow drops they'd nibbled, the botanically-minded rabbits. simply moved on to succulent young tulip salad. But he has plenty of bloom in spite of them. C s, of course, and little sky-blue scillas, with their almost-twins, the equally deep blue glory-of-the-snow (chionodoxa) all blossom before their tall tree neighbors have even waked up. inter aconite, e a ‘ow growing buttercup, and nodding white snowdrops give way to odd speckled “guinea hen rfowers” or fritillaria. Later, tulips and daffodils alternate their blossoms at the rear of the bed. Deep-Planted Bulbs Make Large Tulips

Two experiments he's tried

” ” " Deep planting is a time saver for busy gardeners who don't want to dig and reset tulips every year. Ideas from that old teacher, experience: Do you want fresh preserves from the garden all winter? Thomas Shull, New Augusta, raises small cherry and little yellow pear tomatoes for Mrs. Shull's preserves.

Last year, lacking sugar, she canned them “as is,” without peeling. “Then whenever I opened a can I just added sugar

+ and had fresh preserves, ‘better

than .canned,” says Mrs. 8. For a man who loves flowers and has little time, tulips and roses are the best bet, according to C. E. Shuppert of Attica. “They do need care, of course, but they'll give you some flowers wtih only a little attenn,

I preferred to bid two hearts rather than two spades, so that my partner could come in at a lower level in case he had a spade suit. But Lees ended all doubts with a bid of seven hearts, When Mrs. McKenney led the deuce of clubs, I could count 13 tricks provided the heart suit broke. I went up with dummy’s ace of clubs, cashed the ace of spades, then led the king of hearts.

On the second round of hearts I put up the queen from my hand and North's jack fell. Now I did not even have to ruff the spade. I. took two more rounds of hearts, discarding a club from dummy, cashed the king and queen of spades, discarding dummy’s other two clubs, and ran the diamonds for the balance of the tricks,

"LET'S 60O'—Diane Hays (left) and Jean Shaffer model two

outfits that are appropriate for any occasion from hunting your first job fo a Saturday night date. Both of the girls in this photo, especially posed for The Times, are students at Howe High School. ” #

. By JEAN CAN YOU PASS the clothes test, gals? It's a two-part problem. Does your outfit suit you and is it suitable? A super-critical look in the mirror will tell you if your clothes are becoming. For suitability, check these angles. Hats and gloves are in style again for all daytime occasions. The elegant look, you know. But keep them simple for sports and for tailored clothes. And of course you realize that a chapeau is always worn for church and travel, never with evening dresses. ” s “" ACTUALLY, under-dressing is smarter than over-dressing. Have plenty of plain frocks and suits for shopping, church, school and your job. And when in doubt about date duds, stick

to something simple. . }

A good idea is the so-called “basic dress”—a well-cut, uncluttered model that can be dressed up or down to suit the occasion. Plain or fancy jackets, scarves, belts, collars and jewelry do the trick.

- ” ” AS TO formal regalia, you can always; ask your hostess, “Are we dfessing?” But when the choice is left to you, wear a short dress. You'll be more comfortable and there's your date to think of! : Boys like pretty clothes, but over-dressing definitely embarrasses them. It may mean extra expense and trouble, too. A taxi, perhaps, when your

date had planned to haul you by bus.
