By Jan Dunford
THE PICTURED POOCH is, perhaps, the only pup in Mason
County who has a partial plate. Her anguished owner, unable
to wear the contraption, is determined that the investment
shall not be wasted. Cries the canine: "This shouldn't happen
to a dog!"
How can a smile
In beauty wreathe
The sorry face
That has no teeth?
In the tender agonies of
anticipation 1 have endured a
dozen times the day whose dire
reality can no longer be denied.
There comes a time in the life
of many a woman when she looks
into her miserable mirror and
says:
"yyuhk."
She turns wretchedly away
from her gaping grin and the
flabby folds of her collapsing face
and in despair whispers softly to
herself the dreaded word:
"dentures."
My invitations read:
"Your presence is requested
at a denture dinner to be given on
the umpteenth of June out back
of the barn. It is suggested that
boots and old clothing be worn,
as inclement weather may make it
necessary to hold the gathering in
the house."
Those of you who do not
receive invitations may count
yourselves among the more
fortunate. I intend to serve a
sloppy buffet of clear soups and
thin gruels, and in lieu of a festive
cake 1 plan to prepare a large soft
pudding topped with my departed
teeth and inscribed with the
'wavering whipped cream words
"Goodbye, old friends."
Like stars in the infinite meadows
My molars, one by one,
Have blossomed but briefly
to wither
Away until there are none.
The succulent steak was elusive;
I dined on porridges thin;
But 1, with a great sense of humor
Could still face the world
with a grin.
But now my front teeth
are defecting
With laughter forbidden to me,
And the teeth of maturity beckon,
Smiling in ready-made glee.
Dusty Miller
Is Versatile
In Plantings
The silvery-gray or velvety
white of dusty miller foliages have
a dual use in the flower garden.
On the one hand they may be
used in masses to contrast with
any flower color that is so
brilliant it otherwise would need
to be alone, Without other colors
near it.
On the other, they can be
massed between 2 flower colors
that clash and, 1o, there will be a
blending of hues.
Why these differing effects?
Because the su~fages of dusty
miller leaves, covered with long
hairs, absorb some of the brilliant
color and make it more
"amenable".
Some of the dusty millers you
should consider using in your
garden are described below:
Widely available is Centaurea
gymnocarpa, the tallest dusty
miller, to 2' in height. A perennial
in mild climates it is treated as an
annual in the North. It has the
largest, most coarsely cut leaves
of the group; is handsome in the
flower border.
Diamond has. much whiter
leaves, grows only 10 inches tall
and forms a more compact plant.
It is a fine companion to lower
growing plants and is pretty with
colorful flowers in window boxes.
Still smaller is Silver Dust, 8
inches high and compact in form.
The effect of a group planting is
well expressed by the variety
name-so lace-like are the leaves.
Silver Queen is a similar variety
from France. Both grow well and
look exotic in large pots or other
containers.
The dwarfest dusty millers are
candidissima and Frosty, both
with white leaves and a snowy
appearance.
All these plants produce
flowers but, because most of
them are insignificant, plants
should be considered valuable for
leaves alone. Professional
gardeners remove flower buds as
they appear.
Seeds are planted one
sixteenth inch deep in any
growing medium preferred, in
February or March; kept at 50 to
60 degrees. When large enough,
transplant seedlings to 3 inch
pots. Set in a cold frame in April,
in the garden in May.

Forty acres of vinyards were
once the gardens of Mrs. Peggy
Hillman when she and her
husband, Harry, owned and
operated the Island Belle
Grapejuice Company near
Grapeview, sold when they retired
in 1953.
They now reside on a lovely
acre on S~tfetch Island, where
lawns rolling gently to the beach
are studded with dwarf fruit trees
and blooming plants surround a
charming home.
Mrs. Hillman was born in
Iceland. She moved to Canada as
a small child and eventually took
up residence in Tacoma, coming
to Grapeview in 1932 after a brief
residence in Seattle.
At one time the Hillmans
maintained a large greenhouse as a
hobby and grew an extensive
garden. Horticultural activities are
now centered on azaleas and
roses, peonies and camellias, with
summer annuals filling flower
beds.
For-16 years, Peggy' Hillman
was a cook at the Grapeview
Elementary School. She is now a
member of Sarah Eckert
Orthopedic Guild.
The Hillmans have a daughter,
three grandchildren and one
great-grandson.
MRS. PEGGY HILLMAN tends the peonies and azaleas that
beautify the grounds of her Stretch Island home.
