That's aU it's as simple as that! The colorful and intricately executed peasant art of her native country, West Ukraine, surrounds Mrs. Hordynsky in her home at 55 Hillside Avenue as she performs her hobby of making dolls, about eight inches high clothed in Medieval, Renaissance and other designs taken from pictures of old masters, Mrs. Hordynsky's interest in costume study stems from two years of instruction in the history oi art in Paris. It was by sending Articles on the subject to an art review magazine in' the Ukraine that she first met her husband who was the editor of the publication. He has become a church decorator since his migration with his family to this country.

If anyone has visited the Verona Library lately they would have seen, and can still see through July, the attractive display of these creations which have been recommended for showing in museums. Arranged in the show case on a gold brocade material with a mirrored backdrop, the dolls may be seen next to the illustrations of old master portraits from which the costume designs were taken. Such painters as Velasquez, Mem-ling, Van Der Weyden and Clouet served as inspiration for her gowns of colorful satins and brocades intricately beaded and stitched by hand of early Italian Renaissance, Venecian, Florentein, Flemish and Ukrainian styles. Also displayed are the materials used for the making of the dolls themselves. For her heads and hands she wraps cotton around wire, then dips in wax.

These she makes up in batches so as to have a supply. She later molds and paints them. The Verona resident states that she is something of a rag man. She has all of her friends on the look out for pieces of material, rickrack, lace to save for her. Mrs.

Hordynsky states that she tried making a larger doU once, but didnt derive half as much pleasure. "The smaller I work the more problems I have to cope with which makes the work more interesting to me." It takes about a week of steady work to complete one fdoU. A resident of the States about fifteen years and of Verona three years, Mrs. Hordynsky has exhibited her dolls in the Elizabeth Library and in New York City at the Annual International Exposition held in the FaU, the main attraction of which is folk art. "This is really my Winter hobby," states Mrs.

Often you must tie and stake them or they win laU flat. Insects move from one plant to another with ease when the leaves of two plants touch. Disease spores are easily splashed from one leaf to another in a crowded garden. Weeding becomes a slow, hand job. Plants should not be so close that you worry about injuring the roots during cultivation.

Plants must be able to root deeply in order to be drought resistant. Crowded plants don't get enough food to make deep roots. Keep these things in mind when you are tempted to plant your Summer flowers four inches apart instead of the prescribed eight or ten.
