Gives Series Of Plans.

One Of the interesting features of the
talk was a series Of plans for gardens
showing how the various types must be
constructed. There were the land gar
dens and the water gardens, the hill gar
dens and the fat gardens. They might
range from the size of billiard table to
acres in extent but there were imn1u-
table laws governing the construction
of each type. There had to be a certain
proportion of water to land, the cataract
must be there occupying a certain posi-
ton on the horizon, there must be the
four islands. the masters island, the
guests island and the others all Joined
by the four essential bridges. There
must be the cataract tree standing beside
the waterfall with branch stretching in
a certain position across the background
Of water there must be the sunset tree
standing on the western horizon, and il
for any reason this tree could not be
placed in the line of the sunset, it had
to be a brilliant maple whose changing
leaves in spring and autumn would simu-
late the sunset.

House Is Secondary.

The garden is always built first, and the
house, which is secondary matter. is
constructed to suit the garden. The only
essential in the house is that the seat Of
honor in the guestroom shall command
view In a certain direction Of the gar
den. In fact. she gave one instance in
which a very satisfactory house, from a
western viewpoint, was torn down and
replaced because its location did not
please one of the master landscape art
lists who had been called into consulta-
ton by the proprietor.
The fixed rules of gardening were formu-
lated by some of the priest artists early
in the thirteenth century. The art pro-
crossed, and reached much higher de-
velopment in the fifteenth century. while
the most lavish expenditure was among
the royal patrons of gardening in the sew
enteenth century.
The speaker had pictures. most of
which she had taken herself. showing
some of the most noted gardens of japan.
Some Of them were comparatively small,
but half a dozen pictures of the same
garden taken almost from the same spot
would look all radically different, and she
showed several views of one of the royal
gardens, where she said she had taken
dozens of pictures in a single morning.
