EVA FAY. WATS
BOTH PUZZLE
AND AMUSE

Blindfolded in the center of the
Strand stage, Eva Fay, musician
extraordinary, yesterday gave q
remarkable exhibition Of what a
psychic mind can do as her part
of the new bill.
Her act is simple enough so
far as furniture is concerned.
That consists of two incense
burners, backdrop, chair and
tiger skin. But there the mystery
begins. She blindfolds her eyes
and answers queries about love,
business, voyages, gambling and
marriage-an without seeing the
queries or who writes them.
She's on the stage, her Ques-
toner is In the audience and his
question Is written and lying in
his pocket. When she called out
a name unknown to her and
answered correctly question
equally unknown, the house
pricked up it's ears and started
pencils galloping. It's the utmost
in mystifying amusement.

Phlox.

When our Colonial forefathers
came to America they brought over
wit hthem not only their own kitch
en- garden vegetables. but their
own garden flowers, convinced that
nothing they would find here could
be half so beautiful. Some explorers
to be sure, did send back aZalea,
rhododendron. tulip tree, white pine
black locust and other native plants,
but Americans are still likely to de-
spise anything American in the way
of flowers as being wild" The only
justification Is that plants that have
been in cultivation for hundreds of
years, like the European flowers. are
indeed generally Shower.
One outstanding exception is the
tribe of phlox, a genus wholly Ameri-
can, which is abundant now in woods
and fields around Washington. Every
garden phloX, no matter how snowy,
is derived from some wild American
plant, and derived in very recent
times. The big perennial phloxes
are chiefly developments of phlox
maculata and phlox paniculata, but
where these two flowers in the woods
are simply rose purple or white, our
garden phloXes are white to pink,
rose, magenta. brick.red. crimson
dark purple and pale lilac. with every
possible combination of different
colored "eyes."
The little shrubby garden phlox
that blooms so bravely in early
Spring, and is generally planted in
cemeteries. though 1t deserves more
cheerful surroundings. is a South
western species. and the annual
phlOXes have a similar origin
