Many variations for the informal occasion are found . in the sho_ps. Among these is the painted luncheon set which comes from China. Designs are painted ·on sheer material which are suitable for the season. For spring there is the cherry blossom, for fall there is the chrysanthemum, and for Christmas we have the poinsetta. Newer, and perhaps a little .5rnarter, is the paper set foun_ d in the gift shops along the north shore. The place mat and little paper napkins are admirable ·for Sunday _ n ight buffet suppers. These little imports are dainty enough to please the most discriminating. Many of the napkins have fluted edge·s and look like novelty hankerchiefs in some cases.

The hardy chrysanthemums may be badly frosted unless the sardner watches for the frost and cov ·:-r~ his plants with paper or other frost protector before the frost get3 ~here. Old bulbs which have become overcrowded in the graden should be transplanted right away. lri!' should be divided and thinned out, earlv flowering bulb.s should. be planted, and flowering plants intended for the house should be potted and brought in to the warmer, protected air. A good cQvering of leaves or peat mos.5 should be spread over th~ beds· that need protection during the winter. If seed is sown on the lawn in this . month it wilt have a chance to take root and be established before the spring. If it is possible to bury leaves or stack the leaves some place where they will decay to a humus they will be valuable next yea,r for a border or lawn. Such a good natural fertilizer should not be destroyed by burning. = · f The New "CHALLENGER" THE OUTSTANDING OIL BURNER SENSATION of 1928 A MODERN DEVELOPMENT HAS REMOVED THE PRICE OBSTACLE FOR HOME OWNERS Moistair Radiator Cabinets Low in Pr. ice First in Quality First in Efficiency of Heating Telephone 8975 Wentworth and learn how little it costs tb equip your home.
