MyWord for 1t

If you should browse through
about parties she attended when
Grandma's scrapbook and reao
across clippings, some 80 years yell
lowed, that read like this: The elect
assemblage were regaled with q
sumptuous collation..
Few of today's society editors are
guilty of such extravagant rhetoric
and few of today's hostesses car
afford such extravagant food, but
the statement would still be both
redundant and contradictory be-
cause:
Regale (ree-GALE) means "tc
entertain with choice and costly re-
freshment," and derives from the
old French galer, ito rejoice"
Sumptuous (SUMP-choo-uss)
means "expensive( superb, luxuri-
ously fine" from Latin sumptuosus
costly"
COLLATION. (kuh LAY shun), as
applied to food, means literally "a
light meal" and somehow, follow
ing the meandering path words
take, comes from Latin collatio, "a
getting-together." While the mod
ern hostess seldom serves "sumptu-
Gus collations," salads and desserts
are universally popular, and both
IW0rds have surprising origins.

Plants That Refuse to Die.

In Madagascar there is a lovely
plant which refuses to die. 1t is
known as Bryophyllum tubiflorum,
meaning "sprouting leaf" Young
plants grow from notches of the
notified brown leaves of the parent
plant. The belllike blossoms are
large and snowy and hang on a
stem that resembles an airplane
fuselage. Easy to grow, the plants
have been introduced into this
country. where they are known as
Towering plants.
Bryophyllum is a succulent plant
one with watery tissues. Many
are found as desert flora, and in
the dry area many of their seed
lings die. So the Bryophyllum de-
vised a way to beat the heat and
drought. In this it has achieved
greatness. The seeds are usually
found where the terminal panicu-
late flowers develop. The blossoms
are in dropping umbels. Individual
/ blossoms are large and conspicuous
They wear the most exquisite
shades of apricot.
You take a leaf from any one OF
the species, place it fiat on moist
sand in the sun. On the notcheS
of the leaf border tiny buds soor
can be recognized as young plants

Young plants are attached in

But Mr.. Abel couldn't tell his side
was in position to win the first
two tricks. He opened the jack of
clubs and Mr.. Champion won with
dummys king. He played the four
from his own hand hoping Mr.. Abel
would miss the deuce and think
Mrs. Keen had it and was starting
an echo.
Even with the temporary reprieve
offered by the club opening, Mr..
Champion had no place to get rid
of two spades. There was only one
hope, a squeeze, and to bring this
off, he had to lose one trick first.
1t was long shot but the only
hope.
He entered dummy with the ace
OF hearts and returned a spade
Mrs. Keen played low and the
queen lost to Mr.. Abel's ace. Mr..
Abel simply could not believe that
Mr.. Champion would make this
play unless he had both king and
queen Of spades and he led back
another club. So far, so good.
After winning with the king of
clubs, Mr.. Champion paused to
take stock. It was obvious that
Mrs. Keen held the other top spade.
Suppose she also held her sides
only diamond stopper. Then she
would have to hold four diamonds
and the king of spades-f1ve cards
In all.
Mr.. Champion could win five
heart tricks, the queen of clubs,
and these added to the spade trick
and the two club tricks already
played, made a total of nine. In
other words, he could get Mrs. Keen
down to four cards without losing
the lead again. That was one less
than she needed to hold.
SO flve hearts and the queen of
clubs were cashed. In dummy, Mr..
Champion saved four diamonds: in
his own hand, two diamonds and
two spades. At the ninth trick
Mrs. Keen was squeezed. She had
to retain the king of spades and
therefore discarded a diamond.
Mr.. Champion won the rest in the
diamond suit.

MI. Republican Loses q Vote

''Mr. Republicans" constant advocacy
Of Senator Mccarthy leaves some doubt
In my mind as to his qualifications for
the Republican presidential nomination.
Does Senator Taft actually believe
that he has the support Of the country
on this stand? Does he really believe
that he is speaking for his party when
he makes such supporting statements?
Does the Ohio Senator sincerely believe
that Mccarthy has done q great service
to this country? !. ...Z,s 4.
AS Republican, cannot 60 along
with Taft on this issue. It Is becoming
increasingly disgusting to notice the
penetration Of McCarthyism through
certain ranks Of the Republican Party.
Is this part Of a maneuyer to win the
80 election? II it is, ! sincerely hope
that sufficiently courageous candidate
will be nominated at the Republican
convention who will show that there
are some decent elements in the Re-
publican Party.
Senator Taft would do well to reflect
upon the fact that character assassina-
ton can never be substitute for
patriotism. If nominated. !, for one,
would never vote for Taft, because Of
his belief in Mccarthy and what he
stands for. consider Taft's support Of
Mccarthy as despicable as the corrup-
ton that has marked the Truman adj
ministration. sincerely hope that the
Republican. Party will nominate man
who stands for thorough decency and
consideration for the future Of the
Nation.

A Good Bill to FORGET

When Federal employment In this city and
vicinity was rapidly increasing after outbreak
Of the Korean war, the General Services Adj
ministration came up with a sany plan to send
not less than $1,000 Government workers out
Of this area and distribute them around the
country.
But now that Federal employment in the
Metropolitan Area has decreased and Is becom-
ing more or less stable, support for the plan
has diminished Hearings on the bill are be-
ginning before q House subcommittee, for 1t
slipped through the Senate last fall. But the
bill ought to be put on at shelf and forgotten.
It's administration would be beset by political
manipulations Of the worst kind. 1t would be
highly expensive and disruptiye of efficiency.
It would represent the sort Of scuttle- -and-run

"a Valentine for Mr.. r.:
Here's q little thought OF mine,
Unspoken till this minute;
The worlds nicer place. indeed, S.
Just because you're in it..
Thanks, thanks. Mister or Mrs. or

Nobody minds anonymous letters when
they are nice ones. Don't let any one
fool you about that; there is, indeed, q
difference.
1t is much as with talking behind ones
back. Every one IS supposed to frown
upon that. but actually it Is q lot OF run.
and there is much question whether it
is not good thing. It keeps internal
actions from coming out into external
ones. It soothes the mind. and actually
does little harm to others. There is here,
too, the difference between decent talk
ing behind the back, and what may be
called indecent talking.
In the old days, there were valentines
