GARDEN OWNERS
WIN INDIVIDUALITY
Beautiful Arrangement of
Shrubs and Flowers Found
4, in Georgetown Yards.
BY GRETCHEN S. SMITH.

After glimpsing few of the old gar
dens which will be open to the public
on May IA under the auspices OF the
Georgetown Welfare Council, it becomes
apparent that individuality is as pos
sible to achieve in back yard as 1t is
in a drawing room or in dress.
Though it be but the setting out of
q shrub or the arranging of colorful
groups, there is something different to
be found in each of these lovely old
Georgetown places which are opening
their garden gates to the public next
week.
Carving on the traditions of one of
Georpetown's most famous gardeners,
Mrs Elliot Goodwin, Mrs. Henry Leon
ard, what at present is visiting in Italy
and who bought her home from Mrs.
Goodwin, has spared neither time nor
expense in making the spacious grounds
in the rear of her home vista OF
loneliness.
Fine Old Boxwood Tree.
From the house one steps into an OLD
brick courtyard in the center OF which
stands a gnarled apple tree. In this
part of her yard Mrs. Leonard has one
of the finest lockwood trees in George
town. The apple tree and the box
wood stand upon an elevation which
overlooks a sunken garden with rock

ing in lodges and surrounding the gold
fish pool, which is a refreshing bit in
the Leonard garden.
One cannot help but remark upon
the beauty of the heather, which grows
in a profusion unsurpassed even in its
native Scotland. A rosa mimosa is
one of the rare trees of this particular
garden, but it is feared the blossoms
will have completely fallen by the day
1t is opened to the public. This is true
Of so many of the gardens. Their own
ers lament the fact that many of the
prettiest Spring flowers already will
have had their day of blooming by May
IA, while on the other hand, many Of
the gardens will have their most perfect
blossoms for the occasion.
Next to the garden Of Mrs. Leonard,
one passes through green gate to the
garden of her neighbor, Mrs. Ffnken-
staedt, who has made lovely play

of the bachelors of Capitol Hill, Sena-
tor Tydings of Maryland. Senator
Tydings has proved that the ladies are
not the only ones who enjoy quiet
outdoor retreat, as he has designed a
coy little garden, surrounded by
brick wall, where he can retire to think.
It is delightful garden, so coy and
private, and is overlooked by the Sena-
tors dining room, which opens upon the
small veranda from which one descends
to the garden. Old brick has been
used in the erection of the garden wall,
which though practically new, has the
mellowed appearance of age.
Home of MIR. and Mrs. Thaw.
About two blocks from Senator Tyd-
ings' home on N street. stands the fine
old house of Mr.. and Mrs. A. Blair
Thaw, which one must pas through to
reach the garden in the rear. There are
two unique features in the Thaw's gar
den: one an old brick wall which one
is told has passed the century mark,
and the other fig tree, which due to a
late season only now is beginning to put
forth its leaves. At the rear of her

of which is famous throughout Wash

in such profusion of beauty as this year.
Their crimson and white beauty are
unrivalled even by the magnificent box
which is used throughout the spacious

interesting offerings of Evermay's hor-
ticultural and arboreal displays is the

ROBINS

Without malice aforethought
and with the deepest sense Of
charity to all. today might just
as well be set aside as the fit
and proper time to mark the sad,
although not unexpected, passing
of the burned out Brooklyn
Robins. They practically elimi-
mated themselves from the Ma

makes them they found faint

two games the Robins re-
corded Just . pair Of count
.-ers I'm their last ~ innings
and apparently they are now i,
just another Brooklyn ball
CIwb, possibly doomed for the

The real reason for the Robins
collapse was a deadly schedule,
which called for steady whirl
without one day off since July
IL, whereas. the Giants by con-
trast have had six open days
since the Dodgers started their
luckless western tour.
Their long and feveriSh hold
ing of the lead in the league
shows the Robins are a good
