Natures S Children
BY LiIIion Cox Athey

YOU begin to really enjoy your
huo-kuo by chewing the wilted
petals. You get a sight bouquet
of the spicy chrysanthemum.
Prior to fifteen hundred years ago.
the poet Tao Chien, (A.D. 365-42D
refused to accept the honor OF be-
ing a magistrate, choosing instead
a humble hut where he could write
poems and tend chrysanthemums.
Chinese children are taught that
the man who lived in such SIM
plicity did more for his people by
composing beautiful poems and per-
fecting inspiring blooms than If he
had listened to the woes OF his
people.
AS you may know, the first chry-
santhemum was a weed. Horticul-
tural alchemy has brought it to its
present day perfection.
Today one may choose from hun
dreds of varieties and almost end
less colors, from tiny button size to
a football. There are tightly pet
aled ones and shaggy headed ones.
You can even grow large ones
outdoors. OF course they will not
reach quite the mammoth size Of
those grown in the greenhouse,
but they will be four times larger
than the hardy ones L
b Ctrysanthemlrnas h16reAse rapidly.
YOU can, quickly learn VIXEN and
how to separate the roots. 1By plan
ming you can have dramatic floral
displays. And you can have chry-
santhemums in bloom from late
June until frost arrives. There are
not many enemies to combat.
YOU will discover after your first
successful attempt that growing
chrysenthemunls has q special re-
ward because they not only give you
so much pleasure but delight also
all who pass your way.

T axe My Word for 1t
Bv Fronk Colby

The word since is mispronounced
by many otherwise careful speakers
We hear it as Sense" but such q
pronunciation is without sanction
Be sure to rhyme since with prince,
ounce, mince, thus: sinss.
In best usage the word perfume
has two pronunciations, depend
ing on how the word Is used in the
sentence. The noun is PER-fyoom,
the verb per-FYOOM. Hence, one
should say: The PER-fyoom of the
rose will per-FYOOM the air.
Since 100" does not occur in the
spelling of lasso, it is difficult to ex-
plain the mispronunciation "la-
SOO," which prevails in Eastern
speech. The word is from the Span
ish lazo, loop; true-lover's knot;
slipknot; lsriat." The Spanish word
is pronounced: LAH-soe, for z" in
American Spanish always has the
sound of "s." The correct pro-
nunciation for lasso, both noun
and verb, is: LASS-oh.
Grimace, Ito make distorted
face is incorrectly pronounced
"GRIMM-iss." Place the accent on
the second syllable. which is exactly
like the word "ace." Say grim-ACE.
Today let us consider a type Of
speech pomposity which we may call
a spelling pronunciation" AS I
have frequently pointed out, Eng
lish is not a phonetic language and
the spelling can seldom guide us to
the pronunciation. Of even the
simplest words.
For example, we hear "busyness"
for business" As a matter Of fact,
the word business did come from
busy" plus "-ness," but, so far as
the pronunciation is concerned.
the "if'' Of business could be omitted.
The correct pronunciation is BIZ
ness. (Note. The pronunciation
"bfz" for bus" IS carry -over from
the day when busy" was spelled
'sbisi.'9 "s1fT
-7 The noun evening is given the
spelling pronunciation "EEV-en-
ming" When evening is used to
designate the latter part Of the day,
the word should never have three
syllables. It is divided thus in the
dictionaries: Evening. Hence, it
should be pronounced: EEV-ning.
On the other hand, If evening is
used as q verbal noun, in the mean
ing of "the act of making even or
level" then 1t has three syllables,
thus: EE-ven-ing.

November is the month of chry-
santhemums. This beautiful flower
is the gift from China to the West
It is symbolic of abundance, jovi-
ality and peace. Think of all the
football games where great fluffy
headed chrysenthemums are worn
and the beautifully decorated cathe-
drals and churches with affairs
abounded with golden chrysenthe-
NUNS and white candles for we'd
ding ceremonies.
To the Chinese, the chrysenthe-
mum not only symbolizes abund-
ance and beauty, but it even serves
as food. In the most exclusive Peip-
ing restaurants they serve a special
dish known as huo-kuo.
This dish is in greatest demand
during the height OF the chrysan-
themum season. You order the
dish, which soon arrives in beau
tiful chinese bowl set over a char
coal fire. The waiter places the
steaming bowl in the center OF the
table. Soon tantalizing fragrant
steam issues from the bowl. The
chicken stock has paper thin slices
of various meats in IT together with
Chinese cabbage and tender spin
acsf. TO create q greater desire for
the dish. the waiter returns ever
so often to lift the lid so that the
odor reaches your nostrils. BY the
time you are fairly drooling with
anticipation. he returns with a
jade bowl heaped high with white
chrysanthemum petals. Lifting the
lid once more. he gently drifts the
petals into the steaming broth. In
q few minutes he ladies it into an
other colorful bowl. At this time

Goren on Bridqe

If some one could devise q sure
IRE method for locating an adverse
queen when it can be flnessed in
either direction he would endear
himself for generations in the hearts
of bridge players. To be sure, there
Is a certain amount of luck involved
In these guesses, but if one finds
that he is misguessing in an un-
duly large number of cases, there Is
very likely a flaw in his playing
technique. It will be seen, there
fore, that we are not among those
who harbor belief that some play
ers simply are jinxed in their
illnesses.
South became declarer in today's
hand at the very sound contract OF
five diamonds. The only bid call
ing for comment is North's leap to
game, which has the Endorsement
of this department. With the
splendid fit there should be play
for game even opposite the most
meager of openings, and If partner
happens to have two five-card
minor suits, with a singleton spade,
q slam should be within reach.
Three rounds Of spades were led
and dummy ruffed the third lead
high enough 70 shut out East.
Trumps we're then drawn, and
isince everything depended on locat-
ing the queen of clubs, South went
right out to guess it without fur
ther ado. He was one of those
players who always plays the queen
to be over the jack. He consequently
played the ace first, intending to
f1nesse the 10 in dummy. The second
lead of that suit brought a rude
awakening.
South should have set out to
learn more about the hand before
committing himself to the club
finesse. After drawing two trumps
he knew eight Of Vests cards, six
spades and two diamonds. BY simply
cashing the two high hearts and
rufing out the remaining two, he
would have learned that West also
had four hearts. A simple arith-
metical process would have led to
the conclusion that he held only one
club and the rest would have been
comparatively simple. BY simply
cashing the king of clubs he would
have found out what Vests club
looked like.
