© \ Raise Allowance For Dependents British Government Announ. ces Increase for Families of Servicéemen -- Similar Steps Likely Here A British Government White Paper recently announced in- creased allowances for depend- ents of servicgmen effective /on the first pay-day in November. After reasonable commitments | such as rent, are met, the allow- ance will be 16 shillings (about $3.20) weekly for a wife and 16 additional shillings for each fam- ily unit, Two school-age children are considered a unit, The maximum commitment al- lowance for rent, insurance in-,. stalments and similar essentia) "expenses , will' 'be £5 (about $13.85) 'instead of the present £2, ' : Families, with a high pre-war living standard will, be able to claim increases to, £1 for each unit and higher commitment al- lowances up to a £3 maximum, The new provisions allow also a £10 maximum for emergencies such as illness and funerals. Increased dependents' allow- ances for British servicemen are expected to be followed by a similar step in Canada before "long. it is also understood early ac- tion can be expected to. authorize payment of allowances for more than two children. ey The present allowance for non- commissioned ranks is $35 a month to a man's wife and $12 a month each for children but not" for more than two. Allowances for commissioned officers' wives start at $45 a month for the rank of lieutenant and increase with rank, The $12 monthly allow- ance for children is the same for all ranks.

'She swung her silver sandals to the terrace flags and faced him. "Love to, of course," she sald. He took her in his arms, and they slid" over the smoothly laid floor in silence.

Valérie quailed a bit at the Idea of being left alone with a dinner party, but Mark and Lucy told her she might as well begin her apprenticeship as a hostess. As she grew used to the idea, she . began' to enjoy it. . ' Mark received the youngsters who "overflowed the plhce. The house was fulfilling itself for the first time, he though{, with a twinge at his disloyalty. - When they ' had found their place cards, and had encircled the old oval table in the dining room, he went back to Lucy by the library fire.

He did a mental leap after his vanishing senso of hospitality. The woman was in his house, It was almost as hard to remember as when he was a child, with unwanted guests thrust on him. Since she had met' him at the factory gates, Wide Acres had. been. meicifully free ot Elise. As a matter of fact, he had almost completely forgotten her. ' An Intruder She barely nodded to Lucy, who could scarcely believe that she was there. When Shirley had 're- fused, it scemed incredible that Elise had come uninvited. She slipped out of her coat, and drap- ed herself over. a nearby: chair, Her glance rested first on Mark, then Lucy, and last on the small table sitting so costly by the fire. "What a domestic scene," she said. oy "Isn't it?" agreed Mark amiably, "l hope I'm not too terribly in the way," she went on wistfully.

Get Your Garden Ready For Spring Plant Perennials And Plan A Harvest of Bloom At this season of the year, il the garden seems dull and uninterest- ing, notes should be taken on any plants that are blooming in" the district so that supplies of interest: ing varieties can be obtained to plant in the border next Spring. Some ofthe ost useful "are -Hel- enium or Sneezeweed, a tall grow- ing plant with daisy-like flowers in large clusters. The ray-florots are yellow or brown, according to the varic ty. Some varieties of Sun flower (Hellanthus) also bloom "late but those which spread badly are not suitable for small borders. The other yellow flowering plant that is useful for Fall flowers Is the Rutueckia, Coneflower. The Black Eyed Susan of the fields Is quite attractive and others are R. Newmani and R. hirta. Another" plant sometimes called IRtudbeckia and generaliy known as Purple Coneflower starts to bloom in July but will continue flowering until September if. the heads are re- moved as soon as they fade, For a position in front of the border, Sedum spectabile, Showy Stoncerop is very useiul, The light bluish-green tolizge is™ attractive all Summer and the heads of pink flowers open in late August, False Dragon Head (Physoste- gin) has long spikes of pink flow- ers, The variety "Vivid" has deeper flowers and a dwarfish habit of growth, A plant, sometimes low Marvels (Hibiscus), which grows into a bushy plant about four feet tall with dark green fol lage and hollyhock-like flowers, blooms late.
