From Washington State, New York and Vermont they are coming to market this month in quantities, while others come from New Jersey, Virginia and California. loween inaugurates Apple Week, and at this time several varieties are on hand. Good as apples have always growers have done much to improve the apple crop. Growing for size and flavor as well as for better keeping qualities, we now can have apples practically the year around.

There are many varieties, some tart, some sweet; some are soft, others hard and crisp. Choose the ones in season that you like the best for the pose for which they will used. When you want to eat them out of hand, have them cold and crisp as the apple specialists suggest. When you them in quantity, keep them in a cool place. The cellar is fine, if you have one.

A wonderful dessert for the A wonderful dessert for the whole family can be easily made by simmering apple slices in sugar syrup until almost tender, then placing them in the bottom of a baking dish or individual custard cups. Over them pour an unbaked custard mixture of egg, milk, sugar and flavoring. Remember that you will not need quite as much sweetening as usual. Bake as usual for custard. Serve hot or cold, with or without cream.

Since apple pie rates first as America's favorite dessert, we need not remind you to serve this often, whether it be a juicy deep dish pie, or any other type. Add apple butter to the fruit for extra flavor, or add one cup of grated cheese along with the shortening when making the crust.

Writing of gift items reminds us that alert folks, avoiding a last minute rush, are already selecting their Christmas cards. And, specially for those who like to know the story behind the story of holiday cards, there is a special selection of a number of cards dating back to 1850, to be exhibited tomorrow night at the Golden Gate Shop, 147 7th Ave. Interesting to note is the absence of holly and Santa Claus motifs, on these holiday greetings long ago, but instead the trend toward prints of fashionably dressed ladies. Only occasionally did angels find a place in the decoration of the card and for the most part the greeting was as large and flowery as the $1 cards of today. A FAR AWAY LOOM in Siam, worked by Madame Pheng, turned out the lustrous hand-loomed Thaibok silk which covers the chair.

Tighten Up And Keep Heat Inside A Fall check to see that all doors and windows are tight against wind and heat leakage is suggested to home owners by housing engineers of the U. S. Department of Agriculture. To prevent drafts, save fuel and make the house comfortable in cold weather there must be no air leaks around panes or windows and doors.

Cracks often appear at these places as the house settles. Loose panes may be reputtied, the engineers say, but cracks around the outside of doors and window frames need calking. Large cracks usually need to be packed first with oakum, jute or similar material and then covered with calking compound, a puttylike plastic seal which is applied with a putty knife or the more convenient calking gun. Supplies for calking are sold at hardware stores. Loose-fitting windows and doors will need weather stripping to make them tight.

Mums Hold Interest At Botanic Garden Thousands of blossoms in the chrysanthemum collections at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden will continue to bloom throughout this week, Dr. George S. Avery, director, announced today. An indoor exhibition of chrysanthemums is expected to reach peak bloom- during the coming weekend. Among these plants are some that grow seven and eight feet high.

The blossoms range from an unusual spidery-type flower to the wellknown "football" type. Photo Exhibit The Brooklyn Museum has on exhibition a group of about 35 photographs by Forman Hanna. The exhibition will remain on view through Nov. 28 in the Photographic Gallery on the second floor. Mr.

Hanna, long resident of Globe, Arizona, is well known for his interest in scenes of the West and Southwest. He has grown up with the science of photography itself starting with a simple camera costing $1 sometime before 1900. Classes at Boro 'Y' Czech Ski Champion Says We Should Climb To Really Enjoy Skiing By GERTRUDE MCALLISTER Woman's Editor When you listen to Jo want to ski. You want to climb your clattering skis and slide run over clean, firm snow. Her the city seem like a lazy A vivacious, sparkling woman who as a child depended upon skis to get her to school in her native Czechoslovakia, Mrs.

Dubat will teach ski techniques a six-week prep course opening at the W. C. A. next Tuesday evening. Those joining the course will practice limbering exercises for ski muscles, learn the ski kick and ways to fall safely.

"Most accidents on skis happen because of carelessness," Mrs. Dubat explained yesterday. "When you are on a team, you take chances. You have to win. But for pleasure speed is not necessary.

Because people spend $3.50 or whatever a day to use a ski tow, they feel they must to the top as often as then race down. don't look around them. They just want to get back up to the top." Watch What Goes By To Mrs. Dubat, who skis both for pleasure and as an expert, this is not skiing. When she skis, she takes the scenery.

In her brown eyes, as she spoke, visions of snow-laden spruce trees, undulating slopes and an exhilaration borne of physical and mental co-ordination. "I love skiing because you cover territory distances," she said in her warm voice with an intriguing French flavor. "Tennis now when you play that, you are all in one piece. Closed in. In skiing-everything is different." Which was quite a comparison for Mrs.

Dubat to make since she is the instructor for tennis at the Packer Collegiate Institute on Joralemon St. She feels that tennis is good for a girl to learn. It has many social advantages and develops grace in the growing figure. Interesting But she confided that skiing, too, has its social advantages. She met her husband, a Frenchman who is now an importer in this country, on a ski slope.

That one of the pleasant accidents that occur in the sport. Others are not so good and that is where Mrs. Dubat advises caution. She is a firm believer that unless one is welldisciplined and long familiar with skis, a person should not ski after four o'clock. One tires at that hour and is liable to be careless.

She has found that the "one more ride" late in the afternoon can lead to a broken leg, a swollen ankle or even more serious injury. To master skiing for the maximum pleasure it can afford takes time and common sense. One of the characteristics of Dobb-Dubat talk about skiing you into tight breeches, buckle on into the wind for a long downhill enthusiasm for this sport makes SKI INSTRUCTOR Mrs. Jo Dobb-Dubat. American skiers that upsets Mrs.

Dubat is that they will not climb. Seldom do they want to get to the top of the slope by climbing. "That trains your muscles," said Mrs. Dubat as she bent to pat the calf of her leg. "How else can you do that? Everyone wants to ride up." Since Americans won't take the time to climb, yet want whiz down a ski slope as though the devil and all his lieutenants were chasing them, she advises then that they slow up.

That way there will be fewer accidents. Mrs. Dubat's course will start in the evening at 8 o'clock on Nov. 9 and continue weekly through Dec. 14.

She is a Czechoslovakian ski champion and downhill racer. A Winter weekend with outdoor skiing at G. Bar S. Ranch in Great Barrington, where Mrs. Dubat also teaches, will follow the course.

Registration may be made now at the borough W. C. 30 3d Ave. Many Haworth's Mail Of Man Model Inconsiderate Daughter Mrs. Clarence Reberkenny with Mrs.

John J. Callahan aiding. A COLORFUL DANCE was given at the United States Merchant Marine Academy, Kings Point--and it was called "Witches Hoedown." It was in the form of a barn dance held in O'Hara Hall. Dates of the cadet midshipmen were dressed in gingham and jeans and danced to the country-style music of Eddie McMuller, who also called the square dancing. Bud MacCaffery provided the music for those who desired round dancing.

The hall was decorated with yellow cornstalks, old fashioned cider barrels, a hayloft, and refreshments were served from a large, rustic imitation still. Favors for the girls were country-colored bonnets, and corn cob pipes were presented to the cadet midshipmen. This was the only informal regimental dance of the year for the cadet-midshipmen and their guests. Among those from Brooklyn and their cadetmidshipmen were: Irene Dowjaski and A.

DEAR MARY HAWORTH -There is friction in our home which began when my husband returned from five years' navy duty in the Pacific.

He went to sea when our daughter Delia was 20 months old and all she knew of him was his picture. She learned to idolize his picture and loved the man I would tell her about; thus when Randall finally came home she was the happiest child you ever saw, but Randall didn't know how to get along with the "young lady" who had been a baby when when he last saw her. She is nearly seven, large for her age, and has the intelligence of a 10-year-old. Mary Haworth All her grandparents, also our friends, and myself, think she is a wellbrought-up, obedient child; but Randall doesn't think so. He is nasty with her and seems to be always yelling at her.

She can't please him. Expects Another Child He doesn't punish her, except by "cussing her out" in pretty ugly language; but he brings complaints to me and expects me to punish her, when I wasn't even there when the offense (if any) took place; and I don't think that's right. Also he tells me I should strike her when asking her to do something; and I disagree with that. In brief, he doesn't seem to want her around. It's got so that she wouldn't mind his going back into the navy, except that she'd miss having him around and she knows I would miss him terribly; and as it happens, we are expecting another child in January.

Can you help us in any way; or show me how to help Della understand her father better? S. C. DEAR S. is a very large problem to grapple with in my limited space, but if Randall's mind is open to help, as yours seems to be, perhaps we can do something about itin the way of lighting up trouble factors and seeing how to dissolve them. The friction has its rise (1) not only in Randall's callous general disorientation to family life, a penalty for having spent five consecutive years in rough-tough navy service; but also (2) in his coming home to find that Delia has become (he feels) the apple of your eye in his absence, and that you seem to expect him to share and echo your effulgent prideful appreciation of her charming precocity.

Rejecting a 'Rival' So, in effect, it was a case of strangers (more or less) converging; but whereas you Delia rapidly rallied from initial shock were and disposed to be infinitely plastic in trying to work out a comfortable three way adjustment on the basis of realism, Randall isn't so flexible; and worse yet, he isn't facing the fact that his "maladjusted veteran" peeve at imperfections of civilian life calls for thoughtful assessment and purposeful effort to retrain himself to more wholesome attitude, in fairness to his family. Randall needs psychological re-education for parenthood, if he expects to remain, or is to be tolerated, in harness as a father; and it's your duty to sternly acquaint him with that truth, instead of kowtowing further to his ill humors. As a start give him Dr. Margaret Ribble's book, "'The Rights of Infants" (Columbia University Press) to read; and if he scorns it, go yourself to a psychiatric counselor in family relations for further advices.
