Parents, grandparents and ad miring friends have a tendency to take advantage of these helpless citizens. They evolve fantastic names for them, which the chil dren subsequently S hate but can’t do anything aboutj.. Oh, sure thej can go to court, or they can ui nicknames. Frequently parents call children by nicknames which dog said infants through tq scn- llty. They take pictyres of Children in poses which embarrass them all through life, particularly If the infants grow up tb bo famous or notorious. . / And they talk baby-talk to them.

Wooden Look ty CYNTHIA LOWRY Al’ Newsfeatures Writer Have you ever noticed how char acters in movies arrange flowers? The heroine received a beautl- box of blooms. She lifts them ten derly, in a bunch, and casually places them in u magnificent bowl, which apparently always is filled with water for just such emergen cies. Then she stands off to regard, critically, and • moves toward the vase again. At that point she reaches to the bunch of flowers, gives them a little shake — and there she has it, a perfect flower arrangement. I don’t know how that is accom plished in movie magic. I do know that I’ve tried the technique my self, and the results are pretty awful. But I Was Iboking at some flower arrangements—in competi tions—at the International Flower Show in New York the other day. They were lovely, beautiful and every one of them lodked as though the arranger had sat up all night before carefully putting every sprig, every leaf and every petal into a specially designated spot. Maybe formal, highly profes sional flower arrangements are intricate examples of special ized skill. Personally I like in formal bunches of flowers much better. I think it’s nice to grow flowers in your garden and to go outdoors with a pair of scis sors, cut some and fill a vase. Simple as that. But the trend, if the flower show is an indication, is toward very arty flower arrangements indeed. Nowadays if you want to put a bunch of roses, for example, on the living room table, you’ve got to dig up a terra cotta bird, or an old rock or something you can place beside the vase to make a still life effect, An organination of New York (lit ygardeners The Men's Harden Club- seems to sense this trend, Home male garden wag entered a little eNhlnlt consisting of a highly shined stiitlonn filled with "itlanl material" which he Ideiill* fled ns Khishing swamp grits*, deled, lie cnenfully idnced it well smoked pipe and an em|il,v heee battle to one side to complete (he tableau, Another thing, the ardent flower arrangers are fast get ting away from using flowers In (heir arrangements. This dried plant material la very very fash ionable now. Ho If you happen to have any old palm seed pods, a quantity of dried rushes, lotus pods, flax or other routine ma terial in the attic, wrap around some Egyptian sculpture (re productions are all right, but au thentic is better) and put it on the mantelpiece and listen to your friends exclaim. But if you don’t have such stuff around you can always do Some thing marvelous with an old piece of gnarled, worm-eaten wood. In teresting, that is. Things have gotten so that a woman would no more let a gnarled piece of wood be used for kindling than fly. I im agine there’s many a suburban home right now, with whole rooms filled with bits of warped and weather-grayed wood all ready to be used as center-pieces. The beauty of hunks of wood and dried seed pods is that you don’t have to fool around with water, and they’ll last indefinitely, and the color (gray or brown) precludes the possibility of seeing dust on them. lii Mr. Sosolik of Aggieland Studio is showing Cardl Buffington-a certi ficate entitling her to a gift photograph for winning a first place in the baby eontegt.

Lyle was guest speak er at the '41)er Club meeting Wod* nesday evening, April 27. Thu meeting was held In the South Solarium of the College YMCA.' Mrs. Lyle’s topic was "Flower Ar rangements.’’ For the large table Mrs. Lyle hud arranged a group of various red flowers In a lovely crystal bowl which was placed on a large circular reflectoi 1 . Follow ing the discussion, Mrs. Lyle at*- ranged a number of groups of flowers in various ways. Mrs. T. F. Bryson, club president presided at the short business meeting which was held prior to the discussion. A refreshment plate of dainty sandwiches and cold drinks wei’e served to the 34 guests present. Hostesses for the occasion were Mesdames Leon Gibbs, J. P. Fulle^ and 0. H. Browning.

Oh, What Has Happened J i' To The In-Betweeners? - By NANCY LYTLE not do it as a whole? W1 This week Americans celebrate National Baby Week, and Mother’s Day. Father is the only one rele gated to the background, but don’t worry, his turn comes in June. i It seems especially fitting that we 'should pay tribute to the American family, since we could n’t get along without it but why Whjat about young brother^ and older! sister? Where do they fit into the picture ? Think of the long span of com plete lack of recognition which lies between babyhood and parenthood. In a nation Which takes parti cular pride in celebrating “Weeks” why has no one thought of “Na tional Teen-Agers Week,” or “Na tional Grade-School Agera Week?” IE Wives Mrs. R.
