The Master Gardener.

There are gardens East and West,
gardens great and small. gardens
made by wealth and gardens made
by love, and who shall measure the
JOY in the making?
But as the man of, wealth builds a
house in the country and surrounds
it with lawns and flowers and pools
and terraces, so the everyday garden
lover, who goes by the name of anna
teur, longs for bit of ground where
on to plant growing things, and as
all doors open to love. he, too, may
have a garden that shall be a full
fillment of his dreams.
But this amateur does not always
know how to go about 1t, much as
he may long to find the best way
and how to take the first steps.
In his search for information, how
ever, he will not go far without
learning something at least of the
work of the master gardener. Luther
Burbank, who has done more than
any other man to breath new life
into gardens and has given to the
world new forms of beauty and use
in plant life.
This great breeder of plants and
creator of new forms has never
sought to keep to himself the great
truths he has learned by years of
his work as service to humanity
and has always been ready, as now,
to share with others the fruits OF
his discoveries and to set all as
piring beginners on the right road TO
success.
Luther Burbank belongs neither to
the East nor to the West, but to all
the world; he has worked not for one
section or for one country alone, but
for all mankind and with the spirit
of the true scientist his valuable
gifts have been as generously dis
persed as his contributions to science
itself
After meeting him and coming into
closer contact with his work and per-
sonality,. one recalls with sympa-
thetic understanding the tales of his
childhood told by his biographers, and
sees in his early love for flowers and
plants a. dawning of the genius he
was to develop later in life.
The little child, whose playthings
| were flowers. and who tried in vain
| to put back in place the fallen petals
| of a broken blossom. grew into the
man who walked and worked with
Nature in creating new forms ot
plant life and in developing those
which had not vet reached perfection

AS a result there is the so-called
macintosh suit--made of soft water
proofed silk in the smartest coIors of
the season. 1t is as trim and as well
fitted as a fair-weather frock. In
element weather does not rob the
French woman of her desire for the
ensemble effect, and so there are hats
of the rubberized material to match,
with waterproof leather trimming.
The French woman adopts the
same policy regarding travel that she
does toward Indictment weather. The
English notion of long standing has
been that when a woman starts out
on any sort of journey she should
do herself up in the most ungainly of
tweeds and the most unbecoming OF
mannish cloth hats, flat-heeled shoes
and heavy stockings. So character
istic was this of the women Of Great
Britain that the could almost always
be told at sight when seen on the con-
tinent. To wear such travelling ap-
parel would have been a penance
had 1t not been taken for granted as
the thing to do under the circum-
stances. Many American women
seemed to possess something of this
British attitude toward travelling ap-
parel.
1t took the frivolous Parisienne to
protest, and the French dressmaker

Dressing Awkward Windows.

It happens quite often in modern
apartments and houses that we hnd
windows that are badly proportioned
or badly placed, and when this occurs
there is, fortunately, much that the
homemaker can do to remedy the de-
fect-or at least to render II less OBJ
vious--by the judicious selection and
hanging of her curtains.
If the windows are well-propor-
toned, do not plan to change their
shape by the decoration. But If they
are too high, or too low, you can cor
rect this by the kind of curtains you
choose.
When the window is too high and
narrow, you can shorten it by having
Il valance or rune of heavier Opaque
material that hangs down over the
glass. This makes the windows seem
lower, and somehow seems to give
cozier and more friendly atmosphere
to the whole room. The usual pro-
portion for a valance is about one
fifth of the length of the window
Some of the most attractive valances
are plain in color to correspond with
the background of the draperies: or IL
the draperies are plain, the valance
may be figured in contrast.
On the other hand, if the windows
are low, or II they are grouped, a.
valance may make them seem too
short and heavy, and even give a

The fairy spinners then took their
places In the second room and began

they spun even faster than they had

they spin that long before the eve.
ming of the next day, when the Queen
came again. all the fax in the second
room had been spun.
When the Queen saw all that had
been done she was filled with wonder.
She had never heard OF any one who
could spin so fast.
Tomorrow" she said, you shall
spin the. fax in the third room and
the following day you shall be

The dress and hood of the third

of them did not lose their descriptive

Smart Buckled Coat for Traveller

1t has frequently been observed
that French women refuse to be ugly
On rainy days. They won't wear un-
becoming mAckintoshes. and they
abominate rubbers. Word comes now
from overseas that the continued bad
weather to which both England and
France were treated during late
Winter and early Spring has inspired
many of the, French dressmakers TO

ADJUSTMENTS
GAYETY-"Peek.a-BOO."

A full hwo hours and a half OF good
at the Gayety Theater this week. the
show being David Sidman's "Peek-a
Boo"
The chief joymaker is Harry
Lander, one of the funniest hobo CO.
medians on the stage. lie is sup
ported by n company Of merit. Land
er's lines are mostly new, and In ad-
dition to his comedy he introduces a
short sketch of magic that is really
well done and should be heightened a
bit. Harry is assisted by his brother,
VIII Lander, who also has a good
voice which is rather sparingly used.
The singing and dancing Is well
taken care Of, largely by the girls un-
der the lead of Mary Connors, Jean
La Costa and Irene Leary. Mary
Connors, as the name indicates, is a
daughter of the Emerald Isle, and has
all the winsomeness and talent needed
to make her a favorite. Jean La Costa
sings well and supplies a good bit of
pep to the performance. Irene Leary
sings a number of songs and has
large part in the comedy scenes.
A young dancing team that deserves
special mention is billed as Halstead
and Bobsey Barker. Their act is
graceful and introduces some pretty
and some difficult dancing steps.
Others in the cast are Thomas War
dell, a singer and comedian. and Billy
Shuler, a straight man.
One Of the funniest sketches Of the
show Is a graveyard scene in which
Harry Lander does some Of his best
work. A novelty termed "Playlets A

JOSEF IIOFMANN'S RECITAL.
Josef Hofmann is undoubtedly one
of the master pianists Of the world.
He is favorite artist with local audi
ences and a particularly large audi
ence listened to a program chosen to
represent every outstanding period or
music. with apparent appreciation, at
the Washington Auditorium last night.
Especially enthusiastic was the recep-
ton given Mr.. Hofmann's interpreta-
ton of that Show-piece of pianistlc
art, the Liszt arrangement of Wag-
ner's overture to ''Tannhauser.' and
also to the equally familiar melody of
Beethoven's Turkish March" from
THE Ruins of Athens" one Of the
three encores.
Mr.. Hofmann has never seemed in
happier mood than last night. He
evidently enjoyed interpreting his pro-
gram. This piantst's technique is al
ways marvellous and his reading acr
curate. The fugue part Of the Bach
Taussig "Toccata and Fugue" was
given life and color, and the Mendels-
sohn "Scherzo" was the musical gem
of the evening from point of view of
artistic and original Interpretation.
Mr.. Hofmann's fingers touched the

ing forth equally light yet rounded
notes that were a rare delight. The
difficult and brilliant "Fantasti in c
major" by Schumann, was dotted
with colorful passages of arresting
beauty, but the pianist did not hold
his audience under a continuous spell
during the number. 1t is an exceed
ingly lengthy selection. The Chopin
'Nocturne in f major" was infused
with careful shading. but the "ScherZo
in sharp minor" seemed to have
more OF the true Chopin beautv
brought out. That same masters

were the other encores. the former of

stolen automobiles from one State to

where he was taken several weeks
ago. following the refusal here of Fed
eral Judge Dickinson to release him

torney appealed to the Circuit Court.
Whitaker sought release on the
ground that the Federal motor theft
act provided that punishment be
meted out in one of the States
through which a stolen automobile is
transported. He asserted that he did
not take the machine through Kan
SaS.
The Circuit Court ruled that the IN
tention Of the law was to confer juris-
diction upon any of the courts in the
States through which the machines
were taken to impose sentence.
