)OlN5ETTIA IS AMERICAN GIFT
 FOR YUlE TIME:

While it seems rather odd, it certainly is interesting that Am erica has given the world it's most beloved Christmas plant-the poin- setta. This plant, like so many others of our best flowers, is nativ6 to tropical America. The florist has been able to propagate it and grow it in a small pot, so that, with its flaming red bracts or leaves,
 makes a most desirable Christ mas plant.
 There is sentiment that goes with most Christmas plants-we nate to throw them away. What ean he done with the poinsettiaY Most of us figure that it is easier and cheaper to throw it away. However. if properly handled, it will bloom for you a second or even a third of fourth year. You ;an even propagate it, if you wish, and have more plants.
 Give the plant a resting period around the middle of February. The florist simply lays it under the benches, but you will probably put t in your basement. Water it oc- sionally-enough to keep the wood rom willing, but no more. Then, around the latter part of May or early in June, bring it out, cut
 back rather severely, and repot t. You can then put it outside if you wish in the shade of a tree pr shrub, and water it enough to keep it growing. Of course, if you have a nice, warm, sandy spot, you might plant it right in the ground, but most of us prefer to leave it in the pot.

WhereWithal for aSnlflcenee- he lords received gifts from their tenants ana kings received gifts from their no5les; and the gradu- ated scale for giving and receiving was as we.s ascertained as the quiddam honorarium of any bar rister or physician.
 Queen Elizabeth received a large part of her wardrobe as gifts from her courtiers. and if the quality or quantity was not satisfactory. the donors were unceremoniously in- formed of the situation.
 When Henry III entertained a thousand knights, peers. and as sorted nobles who came to attend the Yuletide marriage of the Prin- cess Margaret. his majesty re- ceived a royal Christmas gift of 2,700 pounds, plus 600 fat oxen from the Archbishop of York.
 With similar assistance, whether exhorted or given in the spirit of generosity appropriate to the sea. son, his majesty could well afford to give Christmas feasts for the poor like the one given in West
