Our one regret is that we are so far away 'Inc whatever it is that prevents'the visit) that we cannot immediately welcome you in person. We do, however, send you our love and good wishes, :Margaret Wilson." Q. Is it all right for a hostess to serve two or three dishes at a time, if she must do all the serving alone? A. Of course. Considerate guests would not criticize her for this, and of course site would not be scrvinu if the dinner were formal, Q. Is it all right for a man to use only his initials when signing social correspondence? A. No; he should sign his full naule. Q. Is .it proper to guess at a name if one has not heard it dis- tinctly during an introduction? A. No; it is 11111:11 better t.1 ask and be correct. The proper thing to say tcould be: "1'm very sorry, but I did not hear your name clearly," or, "Did JL•. Johnson call you Miss Ferris? lin sorry, but I did not hear very well," Q. How far in advance of the wedding should gifts be sent to the bride? A. 1 'ualiy two weeks or ten clays before the date of the wedd- ing, an 'that the bride may have time to acknowledge it. Q. Who should be seated at the right of the host, if there is no woman guest of honor at a dinner party? A. 'Duda these circumstances, the eldest 00111011 guest is seated at the right of the host. Q. What is the proper thing for a woman to do when calling, if she finds her hostess is preparing to go out? A. She may say, "I see you are ready to go out; I won't keep you." However, if the hostess insists that she remain for awhile, it is perfectly proper to do so, Q. Is it permissible to seat a' -man and wife together at a dinner party? A. Not usually. It may be done when the party is in honor of a newly - married couple; then the bride and bridegroom are seated together. Q. Is it correct to write a note wishing a girl happiness after re- ceiving an announcement of her engagement? , A. Yes; a brief, but sincere, note is in good taste. Q. Is it obligatory that a woman keep her hat on when attendhig a large card party? A. This is optional;'if she wishes, she may remove it, The Gardener The fervid gardener can scarcely wait' to • get a fork into the soil. Itis soil. His garden plot, which heknows is waiting so eagerly for his attentions. He knows ex- actly what he is going to do this ...year and how he is going about it. He has gds seeds and his plans. And now he has spring. But thee-pdd thing about it is that he doesn't have spring at all, and that his land isn't waiting for his attention. Spring comes along, to the unplowed hilltop and 'the wild pastures as well as to the garden plots; and the gardener, like the farmer, can participate, but never dominate: Spring conies, and the rain and the sot, and seeds sprout. Chosen seeds, if the gar- dener has exercised his option on a certain plot of soil; but seeds sprout, whether, there is a gardener around or a farmer, or not. The land, tate soil, doesn't wait on any man. Whatever seeds are there send down root and put forth leaf at a proper time. That's one reason the best gar- dens are those whose proprietors get down on their knees to plant. They understand that the great forces of this earth, the urgency of growth and all that feeds it, are to be approached with humility. They know that any garden plait left to itself will not lack for growth and greenery. They know that theirs is a function of choice, primarily, which to encourage and which to weed out, Which to plant and which to destroy. itfan can work wonders, even with the soil. But he can't do much about the weather and nothing at all about the progression of the seasons, which are the ultimate governors of growth. And all any- body ran do with a seed is plant it and let it sprout.—From The New York Times. HIS ERROR Alfred Knopf is very particular about the cigars he smokes. His favorite brand is a pure Havana manufactured by 1i. Lipmann, packaged individually in a metal container that looks like a minia- ture torpedo, On his way back from the coast recently, Mr. Knopf fell into conversation with a beard - eel stranger in the club car of the Chief, and automatically reached for one of his precious stogies. Then, with understandable reluc- tance, he offered another (his last) to the bearded stranger. After the two men had puffed in silence for a spell, Mr. Knopf could AIM resist asking, "What do ' you think 'of that cigar?" The stranger shrugged his shoulders • and said, "Not bad." "Not bad!" echoed Knopf. "I'll have you know that's an Upmann Special,' "No, it isn't," said the other. "You sec, I'm Cpmann, and only Upmann' stnolccs Uptnamt Specials." ti.

They have discovered the "poor man's dia.. mond," From a stick of silvery titanium, a metal whish is actually the earth's ninth most common element and far more plentiful than nickel or copper, they have found a cheap and simple way of mass-producing gents Willett, when properly pol- ished, can even outshine diamonds, These new titanium gems glit- ter with vivid diamond "fire" . and are tougher than steel. For research purposes the experts Italie: produc- ed a."diamond" pencil ten inches long, which flashes like a magic wand yet can be sliced into hund- reds of small discs, each outshin- ing a true $2,000 diamond. Is this the beginning of.. the end for the world's merry but mono- poly -fostered diamond boom? To foreshadow the future, crystal ex- perts have glanced back ,to the day -5 years ago -when French scientist Louis Verneuil dripped aluminum oxide through a furnace, added metallic pigritents and built the first synthetic sapphire. Th'}a'pks to this process the Swiss there soon turning out millions of syn-, thetic sapphires for watch -makers and selling them for, as little as a dime apiece. The world's watches would otherwise cost roughly double their present price. Sapphire hearings are used in the armaments drive, in gauges and • measuring instruments, and millions are now pouring from an important British factory. In the export drive a pound of stphhire needles for .long-playing microgroove records•sells at $100,- 000. Yet that works out at little more than fifteen, cents each! EY a similar process the Ver- neuil method led to synthetic star rubies. Until recently most of the world's 50 star, rubies were zeal- ously guarded in India and market prices averaged 81,500 a, carat. Now artificial star rubies sell at $35 a carat. Thousands of perfect specimens have been made, includ- ing the largest star ruby ever cut, a stone nearly as large as the Koh -I -nun Now diamonds are marching along the same high road. Only an X-ray crystallography examina- tion can establish the difference between many titanium diamonds and genuine, natural stone. "They arc too good—nature is never perfect," jewellers say. Scien- tists believe, however, that it will be possible to introduce slight flaws into the stone to overcome this, Chief merit of the new process is its cheapness. It has always been claimed that a Victorian ex- perimenter named John Ilannay.

Permission was readily granted and Mrs. Lonsdale made an ex- haustive scrutiny at the Davy - Faraday laboratory. Old Iltannay's diamonds, though synthetic, were proved to be real diamonds. Hannay's experiments had to he kept in cold storage but it's evident that the cheaper titanium stones have come to stay, "This business of nourishing the soil seems grotesque. It's hard enough to feed the fancily let alone throwing away good money on feeding the land. Ouf idea about soil is that it ought to feed itself." —Christopher Morley.
