Gardener at Ladywood, Flower Lover, Forbids Cutting Some Blossoms George Boyens, Who Operates Greenhouses at School, Achieved Distinction by Raising* Rare Campanula. BY BKATRICE Bl ROAN Tibm t r fu' Editor \T LidvTond School* tea* and parties, the spacious reception rooms always are, bright with innumerable bouquets of exquisite flowers, /t the Athletic Association tea last week-end, the air was sweet with the fragrance of freeaias. their lavender and white blooms massed in flat bowls. Unusually long stalks of snapdragons were heavy with blossoms and buds, as yet unfurled. Floating from sweet peas was a delicious sweetness, ala ays suggestive to us of a grandmother's old-fashioned

garden. All these flowers which won admiring glances of visitors are products of the Ladvwood greenhouses, ruled over bv George Boyens. Mr Boyens. a German thoroughly convinced that his German training Is responsible for his success, guards his flowers Jealously. He cuts the flower* reluc’antly; they are precious to him, and he toaths to see them taken away to wither and die after a f-w hours of colorful display On some of his rarest plants he ties a warning. "Please do not cut.” He preserves these for seed to be used another year. Mr Boyens won a certificate for superior culture at the spring meeting of the State Florists Association of Indiana for his display of campanula, believed to be the only specimens in this country. The campanula is a native of the Canary Islands, where one of Boyens’ friends. Dr Borton, has been stationed by the Spanish

government for 25 years. Two years ago Dr Borton sent Mr. Boyens seeds of the campanula, which spreads like shrubbery and grows in a cool

altitude. Mr. Boyens has raised twenty ange flowers are beil-like and veined plants, trained their foliage on wire frame-works, and on five occasions the planus have bloomed. The orin red. Receives Blue Ribbon •They bloom from November to Mav,” Mr. Boyens explained as he broke up a lump of the soil. "They would be suitable plants for a conservatory.'’ The gardener also received a blue ribbon at the Purdue University flower show for his successful culture of the flower, which appeared this spring for the first time in European seed catalogs. The gardener us through one of the four large greenhouses to the bed of snapdragons, growing more than three feet tall. Nearby sweet pea vines climbed over a network. Next was a bed of carnations. Mr. Boyens held a coral vangated variety in his Angers. "This is coral glow. Queen Mary's favorite. Bunches of them are cut every day for the palace at her request,'* he remarked. ('alia I.ilies Flourish We walked through the paths in the greenhouse, admiring the abundance of blossoms of the old fashioned pansy geranium, yellow and orange calendula, lentana. hibiscus and cyclamen. We finally approached a group of calla lilies in various stages of floresence. We knew by Mr. Boyens' smile that the calla lilies were among his favorites. "Thev bloom from November to Easter and each plant bears four or five blooms during the season,” he explained. In one of the greenhouses tomato plants were bearing yellow blossoms. Varigated ivy was climbing over a wire pyramid framework. , "That ivy has been growing three years on the framework.” Mr. Boyens pointed out. "It will require two or three more years before the . framework is covered.” Other ivy was being trained to cover round frameworks. Vegetables Also Grown In the vegetable greenhouse we were tempted to pull up the _ radishes, peeping out of the soil. Cauliflower nestled in the midst of long light green leaves. The great-, est surprise was the bed of head lettuce, in several stages of growth. The plants were regimented in rows. From plants of two or three tiny curly leaves they increased in size, the leaves spreading out like the petals of an unfurled rose and as the plants matured the leaves folded up closer to form a head "The students of Ladywood visit the greenhouses frequently to follow up their classwork study in botany,” the gardener explained. Mr Boyens is preparing his greenhouse for the visits of members of the Indiana branch of the National Association of Gardeners which will meet at the school gymnasium March 29. He became a member of the Illinois branch when he was gardener at St Mary of the Lake, Mundelein. 111. .1 i:i: i \< IE MEN TS F( )R SHOW TO BE TOriC Final arrangement* meeting of the auxiliary of the Indianapolis Orphans' Home before a show of magic at the Masonic Temple, will be held Monday with Mrs. Norma Cline, hostess The auxiliary will present J.

Golden Date of Founding Celebrated ‘More progress was made in the 50 years of your club's existence than in the 6000 years preceding,” Prof. Francis C. Tilden of De Pauw University told members and guests of the Fortnightly Literary Club at the luncheon celebrating the club's golden anniversary yesterday at the Propylaeum Club. "America began her life with the life of the machine,” he said. “The world is constantly upset by the discovery of new' elements which produce things we used to grow.” He cited the example of rayon silk which has meant the curtailment of the silk industry in Japan. "So has literature been changing constantly and is concerned more and more with sociology, religion and economics. American writers since 1885 have been more concerned with history and situations brought about by the new developments of science.” he explained. “My Shadow as I Pass” was the theme of toasts given at the celebration. Mrs. Harry Miesse, president, introduced members who responded. These speakers and their topics were Miss Gertrude Baker. “I Am Born”; Mrs. Kate Milner Rabb. "My Age of Innocence Mrs Charlotte J. Dunn, "Mv Age of Confidence.” and Mrs. Emma Knowlton Doney, “My Age of Confusion.” Mrs. Ovid Butler Jameson, a member since the club's first year, gave greetings. Centering the speakers' table was a plateau of yellow roses, and garlands of smilax entwined with gold leaves were arranged across the table. Smaller tables were centered with bouquets of yellow' roses and pussywillow and garlands of smilax. Plaee cards, made by Mrs. Louis H. Wolff, were handpainted and ornamented with tiny sea shells. A guest of Mi.ss Baker, whose mother. Mrs. Albert Baker, and grandmother. Mrs. Conrad Baker, were club founders, was Mi.ss Belle Dean, whose mother. Mrs. Kate Noble Dean, was a founder. Mrs. George M Crassland, daughter of Mrs. Alice Smock Allen, a founder, also attended as a guest of Miss Baker.

Manners and Morals BY JANE JORDAN

Let Jane Jordan help you to look out for the pitfall* in your problem! Put your situation in a letter today! Dear Jane Jordan —I have been married but have been divorced this past year and a half. About three months ago I met a young man whom I like very much. He is mar-

ried but is not living with his wife. He is a hard worker and a good provider and always thought of his home and liked to stay in it, but his wife made it so miserable for him by fussing and nagging that he left. I feel sure that as long as he was living with his wife he had no affairs with other

jiff*

women. He only wanted to be treated as any human should. Now that he Is away from his wife he says he is never going back to her and that he is going to get a ; divorce He told me that he loved me and asked me to be his wife when he got his divorce. I love him very much and there is nothing I would not do for him. but his wife also says she loves him. They have no children. He deserves everything i wonderful in life and I want to help give him anew and much happier life if he isn't going back to her. Is there any wrong in my seeing him to help him forget his past life? BETTY. Answer—l would hesitate to use the word wrong in connection with your desire to enjoy the companionship of a man who is estranged j from his wife. Nobody expects a husband on the loose to stay home and twiddle his thumbs. And no sophisticated person feels any particular moral horror when such a husband elects to call on another woman. However, the woman who catches a man on the rebound from an unhappy experience is not very wise to expect emotional stability from him. There is something a trifle ludicrous about a man who proposes to one woman while married to another. In his confused state he loses his sense of humor. A stable character would extricate himself from one set of responsibilities before rushing with open arms into another. If he has grounds for divorce, why hasn't he instituted proceedings? If he has no grounds and his wife wants to keep him. you are out of luck. For all you know his resentment against his wife may be indicative of cont'nued love for her. One of the easiest ways to get rid of a painful feeling is to replace it with its opposite. You have no way of knowing whether you are serving as a temporary consolation prize or not. Let the man get his divorce first. Then you can consider his proposal seriously. Dear Jane Jordan—Don't vou think that men love more deeply and sincerely than women? It has always seemed that way to me. w A. O. Answer—Sometimes men have more emotional capacity than women. Sometimes women have

llratitt. Lrnike Hide, iSJT" ti.f Heally t*ainlew m EXTRACTION rn Pleasant Pinlrt *|||r Oas Low Mrihruf UU S* 11.00

more emotional capacity than men. I do not think it is a matter of sex at all. Do you remember the statement, “All generalizations are wrong, even this one?” On what do you base your conclusion? Dear Jane Jordan—For the last two years I have been going with a fellow who is 23. I am 19. I love this boy very much and I am sure 'he loves me. The most’trouble we have is that on the evenings we do not go out w r e aie unable to find anything to do to entertain each other. Lately we've been drifting apart. Where I live we never have much privacy. Therefore hu says he will have to entertain himself with someone else. He says I don't try to understand him, but I do. Do you think he has stopped caring for me and is afraid to hurt me? Please tell me how I can keep from doubting him. We have been everyi thing to each other. If only we could be happy like we were when ■ve just knew’ each other, I’d be con!tented. LANGOROUS. Answer—The young man shows the old familiar signs of ennui. In that case it w’ould be folly to try to keep from doubting him. You may as well face the facts. It looks to me as if you had few points of contact and really are not well suited to each other. By studying his interests you might make yourself more companionable. MRS.

Contract Bridge

Editor'* Note: Thil is the flrut of six article* in which William E. MeKenney tells how to reeoyniie and work the squeeze pixy. BY W. E. M’KENNEY Secretary. American Bridge League npHE squeeze play is perhaps the most fascinating of the strategic plays in bridge. How r ever, it is has always been a most difficult play to teach. I believe now, for the first time, that a method has been discovered whereby all rudiments of the squeeze play can easily be taught, even to the beginner. This method has been devised by E. Hall Downes and. in his new book, entitled “Squeezes. Coups, and End Plays.” he explains his new Tapel formula for recognizing and executing the squeeze play. This is the first of a series of articles explaining Downes’ new Tapel formula. I know that, if you carefully study the principles, you will be able to execute the most difficult squeeze plays as easily as an expert. Asa starter, let us take the following hand: Against South's seven-heart contract. West opens the spade king and South immediately realizes tnat he holds 12 sure winning tricks: one diamond laser stands in the way of fulfillment of South's slam contract. The diamond loser can not be eliminated through ruffing, discarding. or finessing, but the experienced player does not throw up ljiis hands and admit defeat. Instead he carefully considers the possibility of projecting a squeeze against the West hand for the extra trick. The Downes formula for the squeeze play definitely determines that in every squeeze there must be five essential elements. They are as follows: T stands for threat cards. There must be two threat cards (losers) as the foundation for every squeeze. A stands for assumption. Declarer must assume that only one opponent will be able to guard both threats. P stands for protection. Declarer must be able to protect the play down to the squeeze trick—that is,

*-A J VKB 7 2 ♦A J 4 4§ K Q i 6 A K N V E S Void VAQ J{ 11 ♦ 10 7 3 + A J 19 4 13

the point where the opponent to be squeezed holds only the cards necessary to guard the two threat suits. E stands for entry. When the squeeze is applied, declarer must have retained a final entry card into the opposite hand. L stands for lead (the squeeze lead). At the squeeze point declarer must lead a suit of W’hich the opponent to be squeezed is void, forcing him to discard one of the guards over one of the threat suits, thereby transforming that threat card into the needed extra trick. u a tt THESE five star Tapel points must exist in £very squeeze play. It any one of them is missing, there can be no squeeze. Here at last is a definite yardstick for this advanced bridge play. With use of the Tapal formula, any bridge player should be able to recognize the possible existence of a squeeze situation and also to execute it accurately. Applying the formula to hand, declarer knows that West holds the spade queen and that, as long as the spade jack remains in dummy, West must retain the spade queen. Now declarer reasons that, if West also holds the diamond king-queen, he will be forced to retain these cards so long as the diamond ace-jack remains in dummy. . If declarer can now project the

Romance Listed Among Four Factors Which Rule in Merchandise Selling Prof. Donald A. Laird, Psychologist at Colgate University, Also Cites Desire for Longer Life as Incentive. BY HELEN LINDSAY MANKIND buys merchandise from four basic incentives, says Prof. Donald A. Laird, psychologist of Colgate University, in a psychological study of buying habits and sales abilities recently published. Women buy mainly because of a desire for masculinity, in order to show that she can do many things as well as men do them, he says. “The highest flattery that can be given a woman if fshe is deciding on an investment is to say. ‘You are reasoning this through better than most men do.’ ” Dr. Laird declares. Other compelling motives for buying are the unconscious desire to be

more adequate, the desire for romance and the desire for longer life. Dr. Laird says. One of the chief urges to buy, which Dr. Laird says affects directly more than 22 million Americans of both sexes between the ages of 15 and 24, as well as many more than 35. is the desire for romance. "Every one.” he says, ‘‘all the time, has the unconscious regions of his mind taken up by the desire for romance. This leads all people to want to be liked by and to be with the opposite sex. This leads directly to sales of dresses, supplies for dances and parties, beauty accessories, furniture, new automobiles, silks, hair oil, neckties and a host of other things. ‘‘Likewise, it has been found that older men patronize restaurants and other shopping centers to a greater degree when pretty waitresses or salesgirls are on hand

to serve them,” Dr. Laird writes. “The sales of gasoline, for instance, went up 20 per cept at one Long Island filling station when attractive young women attendants took the places of greasy men attendants!” a a a a a a How Desire for Long Life Makes Sales THE desire to liVe a long time is the incentive for full medicine chests, vitamin foods, increased sales of dairy products, sun lamps and many other articles. Dr. Laird believes. Salespeople should eliminate many words from their vocabularies because they are irritating to great numbers of persons, and lose sales, he says. Among the words and phrases which salespeople should avoid, he says, are "Dearie.” "Get the idea," "Get me?” "Old fellow,” "Lsdy,” "Swell,” and ‘ I'll tell the world." Good salesmen, according to Dr. Laird, are extroverts. It rftatters little whether they are blonds or brunets, but studies show that, the best salesmen are about two inches taller than the average man. he says, and successful salesmen usually are married, belong to one or more clubs or lodges and have personality. a a a m tt # Numerous Points for Success Listed THIRTY traits, to which 15 others should be added, are necessary for an individual to be a good salesman, Dr. Laird declares. He lists these traits as follows: They work in spurts. They do not wwry much. What other people sav or do does not hurt their feelings. They are naturally considerate of others. They like parties, meetings and social affairs in general. They have good memories; are not absent-minded. Easy talkers Do not think much before acting: impulsive. Generous in lending money, automobile or sales leads to others. Poor borrowers, inclined to neglect paying back what they borrow. Seldom rewrite letters before mailing them. Would rather get a bonus or traveling bag than praise from their president. Rather lalk than write. Fast moving, in walking, talking, dressing or playing. Do not blush much or easily. Conservative in politics and religion. Co-operative in seeking help as well as giving it. Select clothes for comfort rather than for right style or color combinations. Careless in the care they take of their automobiles. watches, check records ana such. More interested in athletics than intellectual pursuits. Good losers. Open, not secretive; discreet, but not tight-mouthed. Spirits do not change much; in about the same mood all the time. Make friends quickly with the opposite sex. At ease with strangers. Likely to have friends not on a par with them physically or mentally. Enjoy working with others. Readily sympathize with people. Do not like painstaking work. They do not hunt for arguments.

play to the 11th trick, at which point West will hold only the spade queen and the diamond king-queen and, at the 11th trick, declarer will play a suit of which West is void, West will be forced to discard either the spade queen, setting up the spade jack in dummy as the extra trick, or a diamond, setting up the diamond jack in dummy as the extra trick. No matter what West discards, declarer will have created the needed extra trick through a squeeze. In my next article I shall discuss the element of threat cards as applied to the Tapel formula and the squeeze play. On the succeeding days each of the five elements will be discussed separately, so that you may understand the simplicity and accuracy of the Tapel formula. (Copyright, 1935, by NEA Service. Inc.)
