IN SEARCH OF BLUE ROSE
Modern HortIenIturIst Has Very High
Ambitions, Says Enslsnd's Pre-
niler Gardener.

To find a blue rosel That is the
great ambition Of the modern garden
er. according TO Sir Harry veitch.
England's premier gardener. who was
recently knighted by the king. and the
honor was we'll deserved, for no
one IN the world has worked more in
defatigably for the development OF
horticulture, and no one has made
more important discoveries. Indeed.
in the course OF his fifty years OF
business the gardening knight has I'm
troduced into this country many hun
dreds OF plants.
For four generations HIS family has
been associated with the romance Of
howers-the late Mr.. James Veitch
was described as the first nursery
man OF his day'-and It was the
Veitchs who began the policy OF ram
sacking the world. especially the
Equatorial world, for orchids and
studied the reproduction and cross fer
tilization OF foliage plants. Early in
life Sir Harry made 1t his aim TO be-
come a sort of universal provider In
the gardening world, and for years he
has had travellers in ell parts OF the
globe searching for rare plants.
Curiously enough. he considers that
China is one OF the most wonderful
fields for work of this sort, and he
mentions the fact that one of his trav-
elers has lately come back from the
celestial land after three years trip,
in the course of which he got as far as
Thibet and had to struggle for life
with four bandits to preserve his spe-
cimens. The risk these travellers run
for unknown flowers are often very
great. and sometimes expeditions
prove very disappointing. ct is fas-
cinating work. however, says Sir
Harry. ''and has often led flower
searchers into corners Of the world
which have never been trodden before
by white men,"

Passengers "Hiked' it Home.
Communicated


The "rapid transit service" on the
fast passenger cars of the Maryland
Electric Railways (Short Line) was
responsible for something like dozen
passengers walking to the city from
the West Annapolis station Sunday
aight. At least two, and maybe all
of the cars, were from a half to an
hour late Sunday night and thereby
hangs the tale.
A number of passengers had gath
cred on the platform at the West An
napolis station to take the car due
there at $50 O'Clock. 1t meant a
half hours wait, for the car arrived
at the station at 9.25. Even worse
were conditions surrounding the time
of the car due at $50. This time
there were more than a dozen pas
sengers in waiting to take the car.
There was disappointment, bordering
on CONSERVATION. as the minutes roll
ed by and no car hove in sight.
Some of the impatient ones left
after fifteen minutes had elapsed, and
walked home in the pitchy darkness.
They were probably in their beds
snoozing before the car did get in.
Others waited patiently until 1923,
and giving up in disgust, they, too,
"hiked'' it to town. This left sew
eral ladies, two of whom carried in
fants in their arms, and couple OF
gentlemen accompanying them. The
last of the walters who chose to walk.
also reached town before the car did.
Anyhow, the mixers" have return
trip coupons. in case they happen tc
make good train connections the
next time they are in the village.

so much in it that it is impossible to
catch it all at once. A second time
at Seven Days" brings out countless
things overlooked before, and so a
third, and each time the fun that
caused laughter grows funnier. There
fore, the play is an endless source OF
delight. That is why it is the biggest
comedy hit in memory and the reason
for it's being more enjoyable this time
than before. The second reason is the
company that will appear in it. This
organization is from the Aston theatre,
New York, where Seven Days reach

dramatic production in this country.
A third year in New York would
speak convinoingly of this play if

COMING ATTRACTIONS

to not merely drink. but to ether-tak-
ing as we'll, Her vices have wrecked /
her body almost to the last extremity.
while they have also benumbed her
moral sense There remains only the
one redeeming element in her SOUL, |
her love for the boy whom she has not !
seen for score of years.
In this condition Madame X Gas she
becomes known) returns to France.
She hopes that she may get one
glimpse of the son before the death i
comes that she knows is SO near.
But three rascals with whom she
comes in contact discover something
of her history and seek to make black
mail capital out of it. When she
finds this out she is horror-stricken at
the thought that her boys happiness
may be killed forever by a knowledge
of the infamy to which his mother has
come. She cannot prevent the betray-
al of the truth to her son in any other
way, SO she kills the man chiefly re-
sponsible.
She is arrested and brought to trial.
In order to make sure that her boy
shall never know of her evil end, she
maintains !. most rigid silence. She
will not tell her name. nor anything
about herself; she will not make the
slightest effort to defend herself from
the dread penalty of her act.
Meanwhile, as the spectator is
shown, the son, Raymond, has grown
to mans estate and is about to begin
his career as an attorney at the bar.
His father, now gray with years and
sorrow, is man of consequence, and
secures for Raymond-as the boys
first case-the assignment as counsel
for the defense in murder trial that
is about to be held. The accused per-
son is unable to care for herself and,
I in accordance with legal custom, is
provided by the court with an attorney.
Then comes the great climax of the
drama the trial. AS may be guessed
the son has, all unwittingly, been ap-
| pointed to defend his own mother.
Madame X does not recognize the
boy, nor has he the least suspicion as
to her identity. He has always sup
| posed that his mother is dead But
the boy feels a strange, inexplicable
sympathy for the poor, pathetic crea-
ture in the prisoners dock, and he
makes a mastery appeal for her. So
powerfully does he picture the de-
spair and distress of his client; SO
skillfully does he draw from little in
cidents that have been brought out,
the real reason why the killing was
done that the sympathetic jury acquits.
In the meantime the mother has
4 learned by merest accident who it is
| that stands there so valiansly fighting
with all the ardor of his young heart
] her battle. One long, terrible cry OF
anguish escapes her as she learns the
j truth--then she relapses into the
deathly lethargy that has all along
\ marked her course. She knows that
i she is fast approaching the great gull
and her one hope is that she may
reach it before her son discovers who
i she is.
Il In the last few moments of the play
there comes the discovery by Ray
mond of all that has happened, his
Il brief reunion with his mother-a mo
ment in which all the sorrows oil
