on the ground, for the ground was com-
parativefy warm when the fleecy stuff'
hit it. But, somehow, the bosom of Mother
Earth was not so warm when the first
snow last week hit it, so the snow stuck
tighter than a bill-collector does when he
is after, the money—some bill collectors!
Then, after the^big freeze—rwhen the
thermometer got so low down that a com-

Miss Sadie Hatfield, land-
scape gardening specialist of
the TexaEs A. and M. Col toga
Extemdon Service, says that
when the red leaves drop off,
set the plant in a cool place
and tot. the soil in the Pot-
dry out. Water the plant
sparingly, using barely en-
ough water to keep it alive,
for about three months.
As soon as danger of frost
is over, cut the stalks back
to a height of 4 to 8 inches,
and repot the plant, shaking
the old soil from the roots
and placing it in a pot just

Miss Hatfield recommends a
soil mixture of two parts
good garden loam, one part
leafmold and one part well-
rotted manure. After repot-
ting, set the plant in a warm
light place and water it just
enough to keep the soil moist,
but never soggy.

Special care must be taken
in cleaning mirrors, not only
to keep the glass clear for a
good reflection but also to
preserve the silver editing on
the back. Home management
specialists of the Tetfas A.
and M. College Extension
Service advise wiping the
.glass with a doth moistened
in water containing a little
vinegar or ammoiiia amljthen
drying it with a soft, clean,
lint-free cloth. Of course we
all know that soap will streak
glass, so avoid using soap in
cleaning mirrors.
Take care that no water
runs dowp between the
frame and the glass or gets
on the back of the mirror.
\Yrater damages the silver
covering on the back, the
home management special-
ists say.
To clean a gilt mirror
frame, go over the-surface
lightly with a soft brush
w;hich has bee.n dipped in al-
cohol containing a few drops
of ammonia. Allow the frame
to dry for five minutes and
then go over it with a brush
dipped in dear water. Here
again, take care not to use
too nttrch water.
One further point from
the home management sper
cialists: Never let the sun-
shine directly on any mirror.
Direct sun rays may affect
the silver coating on the back
ahd cause a faulty reflection.
