Washington Post.

Washington Post.
 Plans have been drawn and approved for the construction of two Colonial gar dens to the south of the White House. Work will be started immediately after the Presiden: goes to Oyster Bay for the summer. The gardens will he completed late in the autumn. but all the plants will not be added until next year. The gar dens will be similar to those at Mount Vernon and probably will be the only ones of that style in the city.

When our ancestors were constructing their houses with stately columns they were fond of ornamenting their lawns with plants and flowers of the woods ob- tained at little cost and expenditure of energy.
