shaded the mansion as the glory
OF its little garden. The tree was
planted from a slip brought in q
bittle from the banks of the River
Jordan by the Judge, who was the
first United States Senator from
Kentucky after that State entered
the Union and the first judge OF
the District Court. There were TWO
other cuttings. which grew ana
waxed strong, one being planted
where the home of the late Senator
Brandegee now stands-then part
of the Judges back yard-and the
other in the garden Of Judge Thurs
tons country home in Frederick,
Warren county, Va.
1t was by merest chance that Mrs.
Lyme. who is the daughter of Gen
eral James Worden Pope, discovered
that the tree was still standing and
came to visit the old home OF her
forebears. During the course OF
visit here she was driving with an
old friend, who pointed out to her
the little tea house tucked away
behind q group Of modern shops
and told her about the tree. A call
upon Miss kathleen Evans. the
pretty little proprietress, ensued and
the party for today was arranged.
Perhaps the most interesting fea-
ture ef the afternoon win be the
placing of a bronze marker on the
tree by officials of the American
! Forestry Association. And the
hostess was happily able to arrange
this party for her girlhood friends
In Washington to coincide with this
little ceremony.

VIII have dinner for twelve guests
