Flower of Christmas Eve. The
reason for this name is easy to guess.
1t is in full bloom at this season, and
great masses Of them are used to deco
rate the churches at this time. OF the
origin Of this flower there Is no record
that has as yet been found.
When Joel r. Poinsett was United
States Minister to Mexico he spent four
years in that country. During this time
he became interested In the flower and
studied 1t. Upon his return TO the
United States in 1880. he brought with
him several plants and many cuttings.

that of the one introducing it into this
country.
In Mexico this plant grows wild in
several states Of the central and south
ern parts Of the republic. 1t is also
feature OF the more formal gardens.
From here it has spread through the
tropics, and it is not unusual to see
long hedges of these bright flowers
planted along the edges Of the white
ribbon roads.
1t is very easy to grow. You can
break of the branches and stick them
in the ground. With little water and
care you can have several plants in one
season. In fact, the plant is very much
more attractive If you keep it short and
do not permit 1t to grow tall and
straggly.
Like the dogwood it uses its faring
bracts to call to itself the attention Of
the many insects. The true flowers are
clustered in the center.

is always interesting. The true leaves

WINTERTIME
By d. C. PEATTIE

7 T IS only In Winter that our pine
trees come into their own. When
other trees have their rustling
i garment Of leaves, pines have moth
ing but chary needles The pine, In
Summer, gives no real shade, and Its
resinous foliage, with its high specific
temperature, gives out as much hest en-
an August day as q gently simmering
barrel Of tar. But now, when life seems
to have fed all other trees. the pines
and the other conifers alone are green.
can think, of hand. Of no other
tree native to the District that Is ever
green except the holly. that jolly, de-
lightful old standby Of Christmas dec
grafton.
Many folk call all conifers pines"
owing to an inability to name spruce,
a balsam, hemlock, cedar, etc
There really shouldn't be much trouble
about this matter, when the rules are
simple: ALI pines have cone scales that
are distinctly thickened at the outer
end, and the needles are borne in bum
dies, or at least two together. never
separately. The only other confer that
has leaves In bundles Is the larch,
which is not native here and is easily
distinguished by the dropping Of Its
needles in Winter.
Unfortunately, our commonest pine is
the insignificant little scrub, shape
less, crooked little runt, with short,
scrubby, thick needles. This Is seen
everywhere in the low, sandy portions
Of Maryland east Of the Capital. But
sometimes, among these worthless
spindlings, rejoice to find the clean
shaft OF a yellow pine, with its smooth
armored plates and its arching branches,
tipped with the long, fine, light green
needles. 1 have heard Of that South
erner. the lobblolly pine, growing in
Prince Georges County, but I've never
seen it; only the curious pitch pine,
with its picturesque, dense masses of old
black cones. like black crows clustering
on a dead tree.
There is only one complete ariSto-
crat among them all. the white pine,
tree they think Of SO highly, over
in Europe, that they grow hundreds II
square miles of it. The English call It
Weymouth pine, because a Capt. Wey-
mouth introduced 1t into the snug little
isle. just as they call our giant Sc
named for the Duke of Wellington.
If you don't, by chance, know what
the white pine looks like, here it Is in

long, of bluish-green color: cone
scales without bristles, the cones. when
mature, long and slender and relatively
slim; bark not scaly Except in Cid
age), but close and smooth and rather
blue-ashy black; branches not alternat-
ing. but in whorls Of five or six or more,
giving the tree a beautiful pagoda-like
appearance.
Compared with the white pine, al
the Others are uncouth; nothing here
abouts Is even in its class. except the
Himalayan pine. of which there are
some fine examples in cuItivation. Wise
folk grow our white pine, too. but rs a
native tree 1t is most abundant on
Hemlock Hill, near Occoquan, and on
the fine, stony low ranges north Of
Rockville. Else you must go to The Blue
Ridge to see it in its prime.

How 1t Started
By FANNY Y. CORY
By JEAN NEWTON.

THAT child aggravates me SOL"
That is doubtless the most familiar
use of this word in common speech
meaning to irritate, to annoy, to ex-
asperate. Yet literally it means ITO
make heavy"
We have ~'aggravate" from the Latin
"aggravatus," which goes back to
"graviS," heavy. and means ito make
heavy" then "Weighty, serious"
The word was transplanted into
English first with the pure meaning of
ito intensity, to make more serious
whatever the thing that was aggravated.
This became extended by popular usage
to the one who was annoyed by the
wound or the situation that was made
worse.

knit fabric twin sets with cap. They
have a high-necked sort Of sweat shirt,
with outer cardigan in waist length.
| They are quite attractive for sports and
very inexpensive.
A good school dress is in bright green
wool, with side fastening and large bow
of lighter green silk at the neck closing.
And a splendid all-around town frock
is a black crepe skirt, with overblouse
checked off on the diagonal, with
threads OF gold. The sleeves are slashed
from shoulder to elbow, which is their
widest point and they are lined with
dull red The front of the blouse is
also slashed from neck to waist and
shows beneath it a narrow strip OF red.
Black frocks, with white blouseS
or much white at the neck. seem
to be favorites of the moment
One Of these introduces the white
in two deep ruffles of white crepe
with tracery of gold, which are
gathered into shallow boa neck at
the front Of the frock. The all
white blouse that ties at the back
over a black skirt is especially liked
for many afternoon affairs and looks
marvellous under a black coat.
nARK turquoise blue and dusky rose
~ when combined with black and
brown are being featured for afternoon
wear and luncheon parties. These frocKs
often follow the shirtWaist type and dl-
vide the colors at the waist line. They
are nice for matineeS, too, and any oc-
casion where you expect to sit most of
the time with only the top portion OF
your dress visible. The plain dark skirt
looks well under a dark coat and the
light blouse is dresSy when you take
your coat off. High necks and long
sleeves give them added GmartneSs. II
you must have your dress all of tur-
quoiSe you may do so. 1t can have
pleated ruffle at the neck and pleated
sleeves set into an armhole that caps
the shoulders.
If you are interested in prints you
Will find some very smart designs that
are neither flowers nor leaves, nor dots
nor daShes, but arrangements Of lines
in the modern manner, like cracked ice
for instance One has black ground
with lines in white and green, that is
most effective. 1t has a square neck
and elboW-length sleeves Two pleated
ruffles follow the line from shoulder
to waist, and two flowers of green
pleated silk trim the left shoulder The
sash, which winds around the waist
and ties at the side, is lined with green.
Another good combination is red back
ground with criss-cross lines of blue
and white. This youthful frock has

Everyday Psychology
By DIR. JESSE ". sPRowLs.
Measuring the Mind.

Measuring the Mind.
We have. nowadays, fairly well de-
veloped instruments for measuring
minds They are called standard
tests" They are supposed TO measure
native intelligence. There's one point
about these measurements that great
many critics overlook. They fail to
consider the fact that intelligence is
one thing, and the way you use your
intelligence is another.
For example, A and B may have the
same native intelligence, as measured
by a standard test. But A may be
socially narrow minded, while B Is
socially open minded B will, therefore,
surpass A in any race that involves
social and economic success. Many a
natively intelligent man has lived life
of poverty while his natively inferior
rival has made a success of things.
Success is the one mark of intelligence
that our society can appreciate.
Some of these days, the measuring
stick will be revised. And improved,
of course It will measure social in
telligence in addition to abilities to
solve problems in arithmetic quickly, or
to recall what happened In 1866.

long foot-stalk and moves away from
them. In examining these flowers, you
will notice they are grouped in a
cluster in sort of cup, with a queer,
two-lipped saffron gland or nectary
fastened to one side OF it,
This flower has been planted without
thought as to the correct background,
and when set in stiff rows, most of the
charm Of the flower is lost. One Of the
faults of this shrub is its habit of drop
ping its leaves and leaving itself stark
naked. The stem is not pretty in shape
or color. and even though the plant is
topped with brilliant flower, the effect
is not a pleasing one. The one who
trains this lovely immigrant to keep her
clothes on will confer a blessing on
mankind, as the flower is one that can
be grown easily out-of-doors in the
Summer, can be increased by the use
Of cuttings, and makes lovely plant
for indoors
