with members Of the Cabinet and 9TH
ers he has expressed the gravest fears
of necessity for far more drastic ac-
ton upon the part of the United
States than has yet been taken in
Mexico.

PARK
PLACE OF BEAUTY
Georgetown's New Playground Formerly Known as
Elderslie When it Was the Colonial
Home of Richard ParrOtt.

Washington, famous for its parks, has
none of more enchanting loneliness thar
the one acquired year ago for the citi.

never before had a public park, but
Montrose, rich in scenic beauty and his.
toric interest. was well worth waiting
for.
Situated on the heights of Georgetown,
noted for historic mansions, its sixteen
grassy, riowery acres, shaded by magni-
ficient trees extend from r Street down
lovely ravine to Rock Creek and
Lovers Lane. 1t was an old estate and
the name Montrose was probably given
to 1t because of its rose gardens.
The century-cld house, facing the
town, Is spacious ante-bellum man

rear of the house. following a long.
pebbly path, one comes upon the formal
old-fashioned, box-bordered gardens, still
lovely despite long neglect, and the dep
relations of children. In their midst
stands the ruined gardeners house. The
gardens crown the heights, which here
slope down to little stream. No more
beautiful spot can be imagined than this
ravine in spring when the trees are
showing every shade and tint of green
lighted and frightened by snowy dog
wood and the magenta of the redbud.
Across the brook one glimpses romantic
Lovers Lane, socn to be converted into
a noble thoroughfare.
