THEY SUPPLANT
GARDENERS.

MYTH May in the air. women
wv are turning from the tango
to gardening. Women who
c-,-2 gardens are absent from the city
directing their gardeners, and the
.-7o.e energetic are themselves dig
g;ag and planting, clad in knicker-
booke7s and rough jackets, or in
shocked frocks, designed to make
women look as artistically beautiful
as their surrounding flowers.
The unusual interest in gardening
this year among wealthy women OF
New York is due to the enthusiasm OF
the members of the new international
Garden Club. Their optimism is IT.
resistible. They propose so to spread
the knowledge and the love of grow
ing things that America will BIOS
som like the rose and people will be
SC interested in roses that they will
forget the l. w. W." as one of the
members expressed it.
National pride and pique at the
criticism directed against this coun-
Try by disappearing visitors who miss
the hedgerows and trellises Of Eng
land had their share in creating the
enthusiasm OF the members Of the
new club.
Enalishwoman Arouses Enthusiasm.
One of the most influential of these
visiting foreigners was Mrs. Philip
Martineau, of Hurst Court, England,
who gave a series Of talks in various
cites last winter, telling everywhere
how it hurt her feelings to see the
country so bare of gardens. Mrs.
Martineau, who arrived from Eng
land this week. intends to spread the
garden gospel still further in her
~-esent tour of the country.

Worcester without seeing more than

Americans have been so busy making
money that they have not had time
to beautify the earth 1t is time now
TO stop bit and look about you for
the lovely things of life.

garden and its clambering roses.
Every person is gardener, and
