ye on “Baby
a good idea
With a sharp
Week,” it might
to suggest that infants are future
people and, therefore, 1 have cer
tain rights.
. 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.
In the event I were a member
of the Ommlttf* on Babies’
Rights, a n * ornuilsatlon I’m

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,

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.

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.

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
