Problems Presented

The problems presented in these
kyeral commissions are diverse.
The Coyingtons have a compare
lveIy new house at 2320 Wyoming
Avenue and Mr.. and Mrs Demar-
kst Lloyd make their home IN
That froWning Tudor mansion e
,li925 II Street, which was built
by Fessenden Meserve, when ne
contemplated making his home in
Washington. Just as it was COM
pletea, however, Mrs. Meserve
died and Mr.. Meserve's business
interests carried him off to Paris,
30 the house was never occupied
until the LIoyds bought it two
years or 50 ago. In her work
there, Mrs. Allen will undoubtedly
draw on the lore Of old-time Eng
Ish gardens.
It was through Mrs. David
Aiken Reed, who has a pleas
ant little garden beside her own
house at 1905 Eighteenth ST..
that Mrs. Allen was persuaded
to come to washington. She is
q member at large OF the Garden
Club OF America and a member
Of the Royal Horticultural So
ciety Of England.
The hostesses who win be as

City Gardens

Although the gardens OF old
Georgetown have been famous IN
song and story for generations,
city gardens in Washington are
fewer than in many cities. How.
ever, we are gradually coming
20 an appreciation OF their charm.
The Italian Embassy has a
courtyard garden that IL gradu-
ally bIoss0ming into loneliness
and the Spanish Embassy a.
patio, which win one day be as
celebrated as the patio Of the
Pan American Building.
The house in Belmont Street,
which Vice President and Mrs.
Dawes are occupying. boasts a
terraced garden looking of over
the city and shaded by forest
trees. The Secretary of Com
1nerce and Mrs. Hoover have
bit OF real forest. with just
enough landscaping to bring out
its beauties, at their back door,
and the gardens Of the homes Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Adolph Caspar
Miller and Mr.. and Mrs. Fred
erick A. Delano in S Street
nearby are becoming famous.
The park which surrounds
Boundary Castle, Mrs. John B.
Henderson's great house in Six.
teenth Street, dates from an
earlier day, but it has many
pleasant garden spots and the
setting for her famous swimming
pool is carefully HANDICAPPED. Then,
there's a picturesque garden adj
Joining Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas W.
Phillips Sixteenth Street house.
which boasts a charming pergola
at one end.
AS one drives into the country
in any direction lovely gardens
become more numerous. Too
many to mention, but one can't
quite leave the subject without
bringing to mind the famous gar
dens of Friendship, Mr.. and Mrs.
Edward Beale McLean's country
home, with their swimming pool
and their marching rows OF gaily
tinted tuIips--or Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles j. Bells rose garden at
Twin Oaks and the tree-shaded
lily pond in a fold Of the rolling
hills on the other side of the
house.

One OF BEST
Marmon Officer Says
American Motorist
Is More Fortunate
Than Neighbors

Some 10000, 900 motorists OF the
United States, who are spending their
vacations this year entirely or in part
in their travelling homes" and whose
way is smoothed by hundreds of
thousands Of miles of concrete high
way. perhaps fail TO realize how
much more fortunate they are than
their fellow motorists in the repub-
lies 20 the south Of us.
Although American-made automo-
biles are being exported in annually
increasing numbers to Central and
South America, these vehicles, as II.
II. Brooks. general sales directors Of
the Marmon Motor Car company,
points out. are intended for use
mainly in and around the larger
cities.
Touring, MS we know IL in the
States" adds Mr. Brooks. "is un-
known in Latin America where road
building is still an infant industry"
Not until our sister republics en-
bark on road building operations on
a much larger scale than they have
attempted thus far will export trade
in motor cars to those countries
reach the proportions that il should,
the Marmon general sales director
declared.
argentina, although a nation Of
great wealth. has nothing a. all in
the way Of highroads that can begin
to compare with the highway .sys-
TENS of the United States" Mr..
Brooks said. "Paved roads are con-
fined to the cities and their suburbs.
Brazil has recently completed a
30O-mile stretch Of so-called motor
road between Rio de Janeiro and Sac
Paulo, a road Of which the Brazilians
are Unfortunately proud, and which is
regarded as something of a wonder
