MES. BRANSFORD C. BROWN, 3532 Washington > Blvd., doesn't have to do anything to earn a feather in her cap. In fact, she may have to think of some way to get rid of the foot-long ornament.

Yesterday, while riding on a crowded trolley, the smartly dressed woman became a victim

of fashion. Her little navy blue and white straw hat, accented with the approximately 12-inch long red horizontal feather, practically became a ‘keep away from me” signal. “It’s a handy thing to wear on a rainy day if you don't want “drips” sitting near you.

“MARY, MARY, quite contrary, how does your garden grow?” The answer to this all depends on which Mary you're -asking.

If it’s Mary Nelson, she'll probably tell you she used pennies, nickels and dimes for’ fertilization. And she really is using just that. Instead of the usual dirt base, Mrs. Nelson fills the pottery vase with loose change. From these coins, you see longstemed branches sprouting colorful buds. How do flowers grow under such conditions? It's really no

' mystery. She rolls dollars into ““branches and wraps coins with

colorful -cellophane paper for flowers, attaching them onto the valuable stems. In this case, money is the root of more money. - 2 »

IF YOUR bridge club holds you up later than usual and the man in your life calls that he's bringing guests home for dinner, what do you do?

Certainly, you don't give ex-

cuses and you don’t get upset either if you're like Mrs. T. C. Davies. : When Mr. Ddvies called his wife yesterday to inform her they would have guests for dinner, she calmly left the card game to meet the half hour deadline for the meal. . She stopped off at a restaurant, ordered five complete dinners to go, set them on her

own dining table and accepted

g¢ompliments from her guests on the delicious meal. Eve's daughters are ' pretty smart. " - » HOW'S YOUR HUBBY? Tubby? Then this is the day you've been waiting for—the tubby hubby diet day. And the poor_ creature needn't be told that you're designing to make him move his belt up a couple of notches either. A group of local women decided their husbands were getting thick around the waist. The result was to feed them, yes, but on non-fattening food, and to keep them active as long as they could hold out. The routine day runs something like this: Three solid, low calorie meals per day (making certain that you meet him for lunch ‘daily and do the food ordering). Ask him to perform an unreasonable amount of errands for you during his working hours and find some physical chore for him every night. After a couple of weeks of this living, you can’t possibly lose’ your husband in a sea of fat.
