(Copyright, 1930.) interest is both natural and wise, It might pay woman investors to go a step farther in the instance of a new enterprise, to learn how the di- rectors of a new company function, and to what extent they are concerned about its affairs. Unscrupulous promoters have made a practice in the past of inducing prominent, successful men to lend their names to ventures. They have thus | tacitly given their approval, and this false approval has misled thousands of investors into bad investments. | The good repute of such men is re- flected on the enterprise which they head or direct in name only. Often in the past it has been discovered that such directors knew little or nothing about the business. ‘These men withdraw from the nom- inal control of unscrupulous enterprises when they have learned their mistakes, but they do not withdraw in time, as a rule, to serve fair warning on de- fraided investors. | Every woman should make it a rule to invest money in a company, solely on the personal reputations and stand- ing of its directors only when she has learned authoritatively that they are actively interested, not merely lending their names. Unless that is ascertained, it is best to refrain from the investment. It is not enough to know who is at the head of an enterprise in name. It is just as important to know something about those actually directing its affairs. . Stuffed Beets. Cook some large beats until done.

It is important when cutting flowering stalks of gladioli to leave some of the foliage, as it is needed for ripening the bulbs.
