The new home of DR.. Eva Harding,
on West Tenth avenue, is the most
festive place in town today. The
rooms are perfect mass of color with
garden flowers. The doctor has sew
enteen large vases of gladiolas (and
she says her flowers are gladio-laS
and not gladi-olas). Some of them
are about the size of large Easter
lily and they are the most beautiful
colors imaginable. Many of them
grew in DR.. Harding's garden, and
MI keeshan, east of town, grew some
of them.
One bunch is a deep purple and rep
resents, without doubt, the royal fam
lily among gladiolas Then there is a
dark, blOOd-red one, whichWe imagine
comes next in the aristocracy- One OF
the prideS of the family is the flame
which is well named for it has all the
light and color of the candle flame
and shades down to a deep red in the
center There are three different va
rleties of gladiOlaS in the collection OF
a delicate pink shade, one shades into
lavender at the tips of the petals, one
is speckled with red-and freckles are
not unbecoming to the gladiolas-and
then there is one in that wonderful
yellowish pink shade.
One of the most admired bouquets
contains several dozens of these long
stems, each of which has from five to
twelve blooms.
DR.. Harding has just recently moved
into her home on West Tenth avenue.
She has a large white pergola (and by
the way, she says it is pergo-la ana
not per-gola) in the parking in front
of the house. She intends to keep this
covered with vines and she Will not
have spear of grass in her yard. All
the ground she has will be one large
flower bed
