with keen interest the progress mace

revival of the old legend that long

the woody conditions of their stems
and their profusion of blossoms. OF
the past fifty years all the chronlclers
of the private grounds behind the
mansion who have written Just as
spring passes into summer mention
the regal splendor of the purple
blossoms blending in some places
with the equally gorgeous clematls.
The Virginia creeper here Is also an

both for roses and Towering vines.
Tradition has it that Baron Hum

TO Washington from South America
and gave the plant to Thomas Law,
who in turn gave a cut.ing 10 .h iis

venerable and notable traveller
who stepped from the Aqultanla
when she docked a few days ago was
Mrs. Henry Lee Higginson of Boston,
widow of the banker and phllan-
thropist, and who had made her hrst
trip to Europe since 1851. She was
sadly out of conceit with the rushing
ways of today as compared with the
slow comfortable side wheelerS which
formerly padded and splashed the

secluded home on the north shore
between Manchester and Magnolia
she has disdained all the modern
tricks of petrol and electricity, and
she uses horses with harnesses and
equipages of the early sixties with
perfect satisfaction and oblivious of
the curiosity manifested whenever
she appears on the shore road. The
venerable lady visited England to
look up some data relating to her
husbands biography. and she would
have taken passage on sailing boat
could such have been found The
trip over was made on one of the
slower steamers. but pressed for time,
she tried tho fastest ship now afioat
on her home voyage and her expert
cnre% make spicy reading. The pas
sengcrs on the liners have, of course
changed as greatly as the accom-
modations or the rate of speed, and
Mrs. Higginson regretted deeply that
the companionShip and easy social in
tercourse between those 1ured to Eu-
rope is now of the remote past.
Mr.. Post Wheeler, counselor of the
