Small wonder, for they all like a slice of the cake that mother makes- father. hungry schoolchildren, and even Tommy, the toddler.

It's Unfashionable

When wo try to examine our hearts for the laws which creep in during the bustle of life, when wo try to exer- cise the self-discipline which is rather unia ionable in this age, we may look on the dark side and forget that there is the aliver lining.

of things and in remorse forget that

we didn't always let people down, that often enough we played up.

If we become too critical of our -selves, it is natural to soften the sting of our remorse by making excuses for ourselves, and that makes us unjust and uncertain in our judgments as well as unhappy.

If we can see no good in ourselves. bther people will find it difficult to see the good in us, and that's bad for all of us. It is an old saying that others take us at our own valuation. The person who is always groaning over his shortcomings isn't a pleasant companion, in any case.

If we feel inferior to others and that wo fall below their standards, the wisest thing is to start off again. making our past faults a jumping-of place to better things. Veeless regrets will only add evil to evil

It is more understandable that the South American republics were swift to issue special stamps in honour of their great neighbour.

Hayti's aloglo denomination depicted George Washington and the Hayti coat-of-arms, whilst Brazil utilised the American eagle.

Flowers From Columbia &

NEW arts often come from un

This man, with angers a delicate as those of a surgeon, moulds bread into exquisite, life-like blooms and follage with swift, accurate skill,

He is seen at London exhibition turning leaves of ordinary bread into dainty flowers of every type, colour, and size.

His rifge includes all flowers from the tiny forget-me-not to large hydrangea plants. He has made a miniature garden, complete with crazy pathway down the centre, so small that it its on a penny, whip others go into eight and ten incli bowls.

Varted Blooms

Then, there are sprays of mauve and white line, tea-roses, hyacinths, and daffodils, and earthenware pots of all sizes, from one and a half inches to four or five inches high. holding snowdrops, anemones, and lilles-of-the-valley, all made from
