The Old Gardener Soys:

Any planting order placed now
may well include few astilbes
to grow in the winter window.
The astilbe is a plant that many
persons call a spiraea. which 1t
greatly resembles. Although COM
monty classed as dubious plant.
it really is not grown from q
bulb. What is actually purchased
is a mass Of chopped-up roots to
which sandy peat Is adhering.
This mass Of roots and peat
should be potted up in a or 8
inch pot. according to the size
Of the clump. and placed IN a
warm spot. Leaves will soon make
their appearance. at which time
the pot should be placed in a
sunny window. In from 10 to IA
weeks the plants will begin to
produce feathery flowers that per-
sist over a considerable period.
Astilbes require an abundance Of
water and after growth is well
started it is advisable to allow
water to stand in the saucer Of

Foreign Relative
Is Introduced at
Dinner Party.
By EMILY POST.

NEAR MRS. POST: am expecting
~ a relative to visit me. This will
be his first trip to this country. and
consequently the first time he Is meet
ing some Of his American-born rela-
tives. am wondering what would be
the best way to arrange for their meet
ing Ordinarily, would have thought
q dinner, or a gathering of some kind
at our house to which all would be
invited, but this may be out OF order
since the visitor Is young as compared
with all these others, or would it be
considered more suitable for me to
take him to their houses? I wouldn't
be so concerned II 1t weren't for the
fact that the visitor is foreigner, and
foreign-born people are less casual
about conventions than We here in
America have become.
Answer-By all means give dinner
or whatever other sort of party you
prefer. But instead Of inviting people
Ito meet John Overseas" you need give
no especial reason for giving your
party, except to those who are his rel
ratives. To those add at the end of
your notes of invitation that John
Overseas, Maria and Albert's son, is
arriving from Europe and will be there
that evening. He need not receive
with you, but you or more likely your
husband. should of course introduce
him to everybody The only possible
improperly would be in inviting older
people Ito meet" young man.
YEAR MRS. POST: I have newly
moved into this neighborhood and
have just returned home this after
noon to find the cards OF two neighbors
I am in deep mourning for my hus-
band, who died scarcely three months
ago, and do not feel that can pay
visits nor receive strangers just yet.
Is there any way that I may acknowl-
edge their calls because they may not
know that I lost my husband so shortly
before moving here?
Answer think would write on a
deep mourning visiting card and say:
Il am grateful to you for your kindness
All eoiiiiiis 10 see He, ana Just as soon
as I am able, hope to return your
visit"

Is 1t necessary that I return all calls
made by ca persons whom have not
met and (b) persons whom I have
met? In both cases, I should like to
know whether the obligation is the
same If they call while am out and
leave their cards.
Answer-Yes, you must return all
visits paid you whether you were at
home and met the people, or whether
you merely found their cards on your
return. Not to do so is very rude be-
cause it implies that you have no wish
to meet them.

the LADIES OF tnelr cnO1cc.
A banjo was always standard
equipment on those pre-radio JOY
rides. and no one worried about one
arm driving. The horse always knew
the way home.
We believe that hay rides can be just
as much fun today as they were 80
years ago. Besides, they're novelty
now, and a novelty is always popular
and fun to try. So be the first crowd
in your neighborhood to revive the
popular old outdoor sport.
Because hay wagons are scarce and
most horses work for the milk COM
panies and need their beauty sleep,
here are plans for a modern version
of the hay ride party. A truck or an
open-air model "jalopy" takes the
place Of old Dobbin and the wagon.
Borrow or rent a small truck or an
ancient touring car. Whether you II
need a truck or car depends or how
many people are going on the hay
ride. Don't try to crowd too many
onto one hay wagon"
Perhaps some Of the boys in the
neighborhood will part with their
rambling wrecks for one evening; per-
haps some friendly used-car dealer
will loan you an old car. Trucks can
be rented very inexpensively. The
cost, divided among 10 or Is people,
will be surprisingly low.
If you use q "jalopy" for q HAY
wagon" put the top down and f1ll the
body with hay. Stuff it in! Leave
just enough room for the driver to
steer, shift gears and brake without
getting all tangled up. When you use
a truck even more hay can be piled
into the body.
The gang, Of course, merrily pile
onto the hay-happily forgetting to
worry about getting it in their hair
and down their necks.
HERE'S the log Of q successful hay
ride recently given by a young
couple famous for their clever parties:
The guests-to-be were all surprised
to receive in the mail one morning a
copy Of the local paper. personally ad-
dressed. and marked in black crayon

things that we want-old habits die
hard!
IN PLANNING a modern house, Sc
lect your site and decide on what
type of construction you wish to have.
Then have the study made by the best
architect you can find. If there Is
a beautiful view that you wish to keep
with you every day, make that the
central feature of the room you will
occupy the most. If this is the living
room where you will share the view
with your guests, you may want your
own room directly above it, SO that
you may enjoy your picture alone,
also. If you are a sun Worshipper
your architect may turn your house
for you, so that you will have sun in
the rooms where you spend most OF
your time. as we'll as on open decks.
Or he will place it SO that it receives
maximum sun in winter and max
imum shade in summer. Structural
glass is strong enough these days to
hold up the whole side of house,
so you may build in your sunlight.
The interior may be as varied as
the outsidel of your house. You may
like the soft matte surface Of hand
finished plaster walls. You may be an
ardent admirer of wood texture and
line your whole house with the beauty
of natural wood tones, like the new
Curtis Box house at Rosemont, Pa.
Here black walnut and warm cherry
pine and golden-toned oak, with great
interest.
You may like glass or metal. or both,
and fill the whole house with trans
lucent light, redirected from one glass
panel to another.
But whatever you use, be sure it is
what you like and want, what you
wish to live with and what will make
you a home. Plan it according to the
life you will live in it and the differ
ent ways it will have to function for
all the members of the family. If
you are an ambitious young couple
whose sole interest is in having the
smartest parties in town. you may
indulge in looking glass tables. white
rugs and other delightful luxuries
and function perfectly. But if there
is 2year-old that father likes to
show off to the guests at tea time. or
an 8-year-old that brings the rest of
the baseball team in after school for
cake and glass Of milk. it would be
better to go in for something a little
more stalWart that can endure the
ravages of growing family without
showing the strain.
Don't try any halfway measures
on your modern goth century home
and expect it to function well-it is
too much to ask. If you are not thor
oughly convinced on the new plan,
stick to the traditional one, which
has proved itself for so many years.
If you 60 modern, do so from the
ground up, and even below the ground.
Buy the finest proven methods Of
heating, plumbing, air-conditioning,
insulation. lighting and construction.
The idea with this investment is that
its first cost is high, but the upkeep
is practically nil for the first 10 years
and very small for the first 20. Most
of the materials are lifetime PROPOSE
tions, and if you use good judgment,
good taste and good advice you will
not be disappointed,
