agree and that Is his taking out some
insurance He earns a good living,
but we have no money saved and he
says he can't afford a policy, but I
know better If anything should hap
pen to him, the baby and I would
have absolutely nothing as 4 means Of
support. When tell my husband this
and urge him to take out some in
surance he gets angry and says just
want his money. What shall I do?
Shall I Just quit nagging him about
the insurance and be thankful for his
otherwise generous loving ways?
MELVA.
Answer-The memory Of your hus-
bands generous loving ways" wouldn't
feed you and the baby very long II he
should die and that is something that
is liable to happen to any man at any
minute, no matter how young and
healthy he is, in these days when we
not only have to evade sickness, but
also dodge automobiles. We literally
take our lives in our hands every time
we go outside Of our own doors.
cannot think that any man who
has intelligence enough to hold down
. good job, as your husband does,
could fail to see not only the advan-
tage, but also the necessity Of taking
out insurance in order to protect his
wife and baby. But there are plenty
of men who cannot bear for their
wives to be more provident and
forward looking than they are, and 80
perhaps your husbands objection Is
not the insurance itself, but to your
insistence upon it. Evidently he has
got his back up over your urging him
about it, so drop the subject yourself
and set some gh-pressure insurance
salesman onto the job.
CERTAINLY no man who loves his
wife and children can take pleas
ure in the thought that If he were
to die they would be thrown out penni-
less on the world, with not even =
few dollars to stand between them
and starvation, while the grief-stricken
wife and mother sought some job
whereby she might make living.
Such a thought would add the final
torture to the death agony Of any
husband and father, and many q man
has been saved from 1t by the knowl-
edge that his insurance policy would
protect his family from want.
As for your husband accusing you
of wanting to get hold Of his money
when you urge him to take out an
insurance policy, that is too unjust
and absurd to discuss; but If he has
any such apprehension he can take
out a policy on which he can get the
benefit himself and which will protect
him while he is alive and you and the
child If he is dead.

Patterns Designed by
Baroness Phantom

One of the greatest de-
signers in this country is
responsible for the charm
and accuracy of the Needle
work patterns appearing on
the Woman's Page of The
Evening Star. She is Bar
oness Adele Piantoni, born
and raised In Austria, where
her family was closely con-
nected with the former
Court.
Baroness Piantoni re-
ioiced in the thorough
training in music, art, nee
dleWork and other accom-
plishments then expected
of the ladies of the day.
From childhood, work with
her needle held fascination
for her, and when necessity
bade, after the war left her
stranded in the United
States, with her family and
possessions wiped out at
home, she turned this early
training to account.
Exquisite taste, and me-
ticulous attention to detail
have made her needlework
designs outstanding in their
field. You will find them
daily on the Woman's Page
of The Star.

yourself to music you cannot find out
whether your talents for it are as
great as your love for It, There are
so many near-geniuses who waste their
whole lives in attempting to do things
for which they have no gift, who work
and strive to reach heights they have
not the ability to attain and die en-
bittered and disappointed.
Try to take dispassionate inventory
of yourself and find out whether you
have a God given genius or not, and
whether you have the courage and
self-denial and the patience TO fol-
low the long and hard road that the
musician must tread before he reaches
success. But whichever decision you
make here's wishing you luck.

Poinsettis, bright red, was the fifth
member Of this class. ]
This Is not the first time that the
older varieties have won at Potomac
Rose Society show. In 1888 Mrs. Pteffe
s. du Pont was chosen as the best
rose, in 1894 Betty Uprichard and N
1885 a President Herbert Hoover re-
ceived this honor. In 1895 Crimson
Glory, a comparatively new rose, and
in 1887 Golden Dawn, also a new
conner, won. Thus we can say In four
OF our six shows the older varieties
were outstanding.
The physostegia-Viv is making a
fine display in many gardens now. 1t
is a hardy, low-growing perennial
that Is worthy Of wider use. 1t has q
more pleasing color than the other
two more or less commonly grown
types, which are earlier blooming and
much taller. Vivid grows about is
inches high and Is useful for cutting.
Physostegias require dividing each
spring and benefit by planting in q
well-enriched soil. Since they sprkad
by underground shoots. small start
soon makes fine display.
The Japanese anemoneS are in full
bloom now and for the shady yard
are hard to beat for late fall bloom
OF course they do not compete with
the chrysanthemums or dahlias,
which will not tolerate shade. Thus
the Japanese anemones are q good
substitute Queen Charlotte, semi
double, deep pink, and whirlwind, a
semi-double white, are the most COM
monty grown varieties, but there are
many more to choose from. While
they are generally mentioned as being
adapted to light shade, they can be
grown in full sun If given humus and
moisture. They grow 2 to 3 feet high,
and their flowers are good for cutting
Move or divide in the spring.
The dahlias are a mass Of bloom
now, we'll repaying the care given
them this summer. The smaller fow-
cred varieties have been in bloom for
several weeks. For the gardener who
has only limited amount of space
the smaller fiowered types are more
desirable-they give many more flow-
ers and have longer season of bloom
than do the large iowered types.

First Rung
In Social
Ladder
How to Have Your
Visiting Cards
Engraved.
BY FRANCESCA MCKINNEY.

~ AANhANSGSSh NIChLNNEI.
ETIQUETTE rules may have relaxed
In many places, but Washington
adheres to them strictly and expects
all newcomers to know the ropes"
and do likewise.
One of the first rungs TO achieve
in climbing the social laddgr is how
to have your calling cards Engraved:
then, when they are in your possession,
how TO use them.
Visiting cards must be engraved,
not printed
"Mr. and Mrs" may be on one
card, or each may have separate
cards.
Married men need individual cards
in either case.
A daughters name Is placed on her
parents card only if she is OF debu-
tante age and not being oficially
presented to society.
A girl under 18 years of age never
has Miss" preceding her name.
Boys may have "Mr." on their
cards after they have entered college,
not before.
Address may or may not appear on
card, as desired. If it does, 1t must
be In small letters in the lower right
hand corner.
Engraving that is over-large or
ornate is in bad taste.
The engraving Of Reserve officers
title on card is extremely bad form.
American courtesy title of THE Hon.
orable" is never used on card.
There are two correct ways for
doctor or surgeon to have his cards
engraved. He may prefix his name
with Doctor or use M. D. after it.
Never both. The same applies TO a
woman physician.
If husband and wife are both doc
tors and want to use their titles, the
best method is to have separate cards
rather than both names on one.
Natural or white regulation paper
must be used. Parchment may also
be used, but is more expensive.
The full name should be used, al
though initials may be used with the
desired given name if too long when
written in full. A Woman's card must
be duplicate of her husbands.
A widow uses her husbands name
on her card
A divorce never uses her given
name on a card. She should use her
maiden name in place of her hus-
bands Christian name.
QUESTION: I am a divorcee using
my maiden name in preference 10 that
of my husband. Under these circum-
stances how should my cards be en-
graved?-M. G. L.
Answer - You must prefix your
mothers maiden name to that of your
own for your calling card, as well as
for all social life
QUESTION: When using Junior"
on a card, may it be abbreviated?-
J. M. s..
Answer-"Junior" must be engraved
in full and is not spelled with a capf-
tai al"

tremely smart new note, and just right
for . businesslike, simple style. This
design is delightfully."- becoming even
to thin girls who usually shy away
from tailored styles. That's because
the line Is softened, made more femt-
nine, by inside pleats just above the
waistline.
With the tailored, notched collar,
you can wear bright ascot, sports
necklace, or one of the many funny
little gadgets to pin to your lapel.
This is an unusually easy design to
make; just seven steps in your de-
tailed sew chart. You'll love it in

Tulips like moisture in the early
spring, and it is best supplied by
Incorporating quantities of leaf mold
or compost in the bed before plant
ing. Flowers from a bed of tulips
planted in woods soil won the top
honors at the Takoma tulip show in
1895 and 1896. Well-rotted leaves,
compost or peat moss will serve equal
ly well. Mix or 4 pounds of bone
meal with the leaf mold for each 100
square feet Of bed. The imported
peat moss is acid and is not as de-
sirable as are the domestic peats.
After digging gladiolus bulbs be
sure to dry them carefully in the sun.
When thoroughly dried store them in
a warm. dry place for a few weeks
before cleaning After cleaning store
IN tight paper bags with handful of
naphthalene fakes for about six weeks
TO control the gladiolus thrip. Store
in warm place while the naphthalene
flakes are in the bags. After remov-
ing the flakes the bulbs should be
stored In a cool, dry place until plant
ing time.
The seeding roses exhibited at the
Fall Rose Show by Dr. Whitman Cross
Of Chevy Chase are of more than
passing interest. Several were marked
for awards OF merit indicating them
to be very close to top scoring. To
Washington gardeners the significance
of this lies in the fact that they were
developed under Washington condi-
tions and thus are certain to do we'll
here. AS a matter Of fact most of
the roses that do so well here are
those that were developed locally-the
Radiances, Mrs. Charles Bell, DR.. Van
Fleet and Mary Wallace, are examples
The seedlings exhibited by DR.. Cross
that were especially commended in
clude two bush roses, two shrub roses
and an everblooming climber.
The Snowflake Uencojum) Is q
hardy, late spring blooming bulbous
plant. 1t will do well in shade, grows
from II to 10 inches high, and its
clusters Of pendulous white bells are
snowy. The tip of each petal is
marked with a green dot The flow
ers are borne on long stems and are
useful for cutting. The Leucojum,
which should be planted in the fall,
is perfectly hardy and does not need
to be dug until after the clump be-
comes too crowded for good perform
ance.

Protecting Plants.

Covering with cheesecloth or burlap
is an effective method of protecting q
small bed of chrysanthemums from
frost injury. This method IS used by
some growers for the tender Japa-
nese types (greenhouse) with success
in the more protected areas. AS a
rule, however, the large-nowered Japa-
nese varieties are too tender for gar

speaking, a man should follow the line
of work which he finds most con-
genial-the thing for which nature
designed him-because in that he not
only finds happiness but makes sue
cess Very few people ever do we'll at
any labor that Is distasteful to them.
To achieve anything worthwhile We
have to put not only our backs but our
hearts into it and have 1t fill our
thoughts by day and our dreams by

interest to US.
Nothing is truer than the famous
saying of Stevenson that che who finds
work to do, which he follows without
any regard for the reward, but for his
love Of it and the pleasure he has in
doing it, is called of God"
But before you make your decision
between law and music you must see
your parents point OF view, and that
is that If you do not 60 about some
money-making occupation the chances
are that they will have to support you
for many years-perhaps for always
