HOPPER ON THE
Bah BALLAD
AUTHOR

De Wolf Hopper, who IL to
appear at Polls Theater, COM
mencing Monday evening, in Gil
bert and Suilivan's reyivals, tells
of William Schwenk Gilbert, Sir
Arthur Sul!;van's famous libret-
fist, who was born in London ON
November 10. 1886, the son of a
popular novelist of the day. He
himself showed marked literary
tendencies early in life, and be-
gan to scribble rhymes almost as
soon as he could write. Strange
ly enough, however, he first broke
into public Print as an illustrator
Of some of his fathers books.
as the humorous element in his
makeup first manifested itself
through the medium of comic
character sketches in pen and
ink.
He received a very good educa-
ton and graduated from the Uni
versity of London in 1856 with
the degree of bachelor of arts.
He then decided upon a military
career, and was trying for a.,
commission in the royal artillery
when the Crimean war put q
stop to such possibility. He
thereupon took a clerkship in
the privy council office, but
greatly disIlked the work and
resigned at the first opportunity.
This came to him in the form Of
a legacy, and he Immediately
turned to the study of law and
was admitted to the bar. This
means Of livelihood was no more
pleasing than his former one so
he took up journalism in the guise
of dramatic critic for the Illus
trated Times.
During all this period he had
been turning out a great deal OF
humorous verse which was pub
lished in the comic weekly Fun"
illustrated by the author, who
signed himself "Bab." These Sc.
lections were afterwards printed
in book form jim many editions,
under the title of the Bah Bal
lads" and they form the basis
for many of the plots OF the
librettos he was later to write Tor
Sullivan's music.

Vines for the Amateur

A garden. If 1t is to afford real
comfort to Its owner. must be to a
certain degree vine clad. It NAV
have gay borders outlining smooth
smooth grass plots. shrubbery for its
background and vines to ramble as
they will. festooning pergolas and
climbing trellisas. All of these quail
ties garden must have IL it is to
fulfil its mission and be as expressed
in these beautiful lines of Dorothy
Frances Gurney: "a lovely place of
dreams and ecstasies. of color tan
gled In a verdant net"
The amateurs garden is usually a
first garden and fairly bristles with
newness. There Is a certain lack of
permanency about 1t. which. in time,
when its owner learns to know his
or her plants. conn letely disappears.
These first n,oLths are usually
months of adventures. which develop
into tragedies cr successes.
The most unrestful feature of such
garden Is It's total lack of shade.
As 1t takes years not months to
establish trees. let me urge every
new gardner to plant at least one
or two vines the first season. They
viii. link the corners of your garden
into one delightful unit and while
thus adding to It's beauty will add
materially to It's comfort.
Can you imagine anything nicer on
some warm June morning than
shelling your peas or doing some
necessary sewing out in the open
under wisteria draped pergola or
honeysuckle clad arbor?
Vines are in most cases rampant
growers and do not enjoy being fuss
ed over. as do the plants in our bor-
ders. OF course they demand sup
ports but these must not worry you.
Supports can be built of any light
wood: in fact any boy who attends
a manual training school should
have sufficient knowledge of tools to
build an arbor and while they re-
quire some painting to preservs their
wood. two coats will be sufficient.
There arc three vines / always adj
wise all gardeners to plant under ad-
verse conditions:
The first is the clematis parricu-
latta. which blossoms so beautifully
In late August. You surely know
this vine with it's wealth of fragrant
white. blossoms. All 1t requires is
fertile soil. pergola. or other sup
port. upon which to climb and an
occasional. drink in prolonged dry
spells.
