SIGN YOUR HOLIDAY CARDS ACCORDING
 TO THEIR TYPE
By JOAN DURHAM AP Feature Service Writer

Should you sign your Christmas cards MT. and Mrs?
 That depends on whether the cards are engraved, printed or signed by hand.
 Engraved cards follow the rules for visiting cards, consequently MT. and Mrs" is proper. It is consid- eerd a little better to have the scard read, MT. and Mrs. Merry Holiday wish you very merry Christmas and a happy New Year rather than "A very merry Christ mas and happy New Year from MT. and Mrs Merry Holiday
 Printed cards fall into two cate gories, rather formal ones meant to be sent to everyone and in formal ones, designed for intimate friends. If you send out printed cards for formal use in place of engraved ones, then MT. and Mrs. ' is proper. If, however, your cards are intended as informal greetings to good friends omit the MT. and Mrs"
 On cards signed in ink, the huS- hands or wifes name may come first, although ordinarily the per- son signing would put his own name last. In general, the hus- bands name comes first
 How should cards be addressed' No card should ever be sent without a MT, Mrs. or Miss prefix. GA young boy may be addressed as Master" although that's belng used less and less)
 An unmarried woman is always addressed as Miss
 A married woman-whether her husband is alive or not-is ad- dressed with Mrs" prefixed to her husbands full name. A woman's | maiden name is used only on legal l papers or when she uses her maid i en name professionally. In case ] of divorce, however, the name may have been changed by legal pro- cedure. In that event, address youl card to the divorcee's legal name

orators, with temperatures imi- tating mild cold at the North Pole or on mountain tops.
 The lower portions of the bot ties, where the water stands, rep resent the earth with temperatures about like those at sea level.
 If Sir George heats the bottom of a bottle, ice in large quantities forms in the neck, where the tenn perature is freezing. The ice comes from vapor rising into the neck.
 More ice forms in bottles whose water is heated than in those kept at warm room temperature. If the water is heated too hot, no ice : forms in the neck.
 This, says Sir George, shows what well may have happened. Ir the ice age temperatures were enough higher than now to send extra quantities of water vapor into the air. This meant more snow or mountain tops and in polar regions The snow was so deep it never com | pletely melted, but always in- creased, resulting in glaciers whicf finally spread over huge regions.

Make Plan
For Garden
Next Year
Collecting Notes on
Present One Very
Helpful Later On.
BY EDITH HOUGH.

M M1DsuMMER is the time to observe
ones garden with next years in
mind. 1t now displays the visible
proof Of success or failure. The points
which mar its beauty or enhance it
and the alterations which would i'm
prove 1t are most apparent at present.
And these observations. no matter
how accurately made and considered,
may easily be forgotten before the
spring. Hence a notebook should be
kept in which to record such things
as the unexpected beauty OF a certain
combination of colors or the change
in proportion necessary for better
balance If the garden is now OBJ
served critically and with Imagination,
and II the means to increase its beauty
are definitely outlined, it will be love-
lier next year.
Some facts can be learned only
through experimentation. One is the
suitability Of certain locations for GER
tain flowers, for the soil In one spot
may be unsuitable for the flowers
planted there This may be due to the
shading, slight differences in the quail
ity of the soil, or the drainage. And
whether the location Of the flowers
is esthetically satisfactory Is largely
determined by sight.
Additions and substitutions should
be planned now. For instance. it Is
most apparent at present whether q
wall or tree should be partly con-
cealed by running vine. If plant
is dying or too mature, its replace
ment can be planned in accordance
with the environment. A flower, pro-
portionate in the spring, may have
grown to crowd its surroundings and
should be given more space when
planted again.
Ideas derived from other garden.
and the names of particular flower.
desired for future cultivation should
be written down for reference. This
is true Of tools, sprays. garden fur
niture, anything of present interes,
to the gardener.
If notes are made while the ma.
terial is before one the foundation IL
laid for next years garden. The buy
ing and the work in the spring will
be Influenced and simplified by thi.
preliminary planning. Only detailed
observation. which can be made now
as ut no other time, can increase the
general beauty of the garden.

As was frequently the case, rose mat
ters had rousing evening, usually
carried on until far into the night.
When tramping with them through
the millions Of rose plants in the
Kordes Nursery at Sparrieshoop and
through at least half that number at
Tantau's and Krause's at Uetersen, it
was common sight to see alert, pains
taking young German rose appren-
tices with notebooks in hand going
up and down every row examining
each plant in these acres OF new seed
lings. They were searching for indi-
vidual seeding rose plants exhibiting
signs Of resistance to mildew, black
spot, color fading. and other rose
failings; and to find individual plants
possessing greater vigor, fragrance
and bloom persistence than do pre-
vailing rose varieties. A frantic search
seemingly was being made among the
new seedlings OF promise but which
lacked fragrance, in the hope If find
ing even one bush among them which

Of DR.. Won Rathlef
While on the subject of fragrance
in the rose it seems that adding this
intrinsic but elusive characteristic to
the new roses. which lack the same.
appears to be difficult assignment.
This seemed particularly true in the
new Hybrid Polyanthas. These have
been developed to the point where
they have hybrid tea blooms borne in
clusters like the polyanthas. This. to-
gether with their greater hardness,
vigor and their resistance to color
fading and rose disease, makes them
very desirable especially for park
planting. They are usually without
scent.

The Old Gordener>Soys

Probably most garden makers
have learned by this time that
there are great differences In hoes.
Hoeing may become a heavy task
If the hoe. is not adapted to the
needs of the person using 1t. On
the other hand, 1t may be al
most a pleasure II the hoe has
just the right feel" Weight
and balance, particularly the lat
ter, are the points to be consid-
cred, and they should be kept in
mind when a new hoe is being
purchased. The shank should
be stout and the blade not too
thick. No hoe will be satisfac-
tory, however, If 1t IL not kept
sharp. The wise garden maker
carries a file in his pocket and
touches up the edge OF the blade
at intervals. Moreover, he keeps
the blade clean, which is highly
important. A dull, rusty blade
gives poor results and An extra
burden is imposed on the garden
maker II he finds himself lifting
b certain amount Of soil every
time he raises the hoe.

Chinese Proverb.

Gardening is fascinating hobby
that gives both healthful exercise and
pleasure to the gardener. And, 1t is
a lasting hobby that grows on one.
An old Chinese proverb illustrates
this: IF you wish to be happy for
an hour, get drunk; if you wish to be
happy for three days., get married;
if you wish to be happy Tor eight days,
kill pig and eat it; but if you wish
to be happy forever, become a gar
