The first iris comes up in the garden
in March-if you are an iris specialist,
with some Of the very early sorts,
brought from distant lands. But for
most Of us, irises and May are thought
OF together, although, out in the woods,
In April. there bloomed two enchanting
dwarf species-iris verna, with purple
petals blotched with gold, and iris
cristata, with lilac petals and q snow
white crest. Both transplant easily and
In the garden thrive and spread and
make your friends exclaiin.
Now, In the marshes, no matter how
near to the town, no matter how un-
slightly or smelly the spot, the fair, wild
flag, iris versicolor, comes into bloom.
And to me there Is about It an un-
earthly enchantment that no garden
iris, no matter how stately and mag
niflcent, no matter If its hybrid pedi-
generations, quite possesses.
The frail, straight stems, standing
out Of water, and the small, wistful
flowers, rufling In the marsh wind, have
about them something wild and free
and lovely that miss in garden irises.
Upon the other side Of the question
(and how passionate iriomaniacs can
getD it must be admitted that our wild
iris does not belong to the gifted branch

beauty. the prize-takers, come out Of
the branch called the German irises,
though Bearded" Is a better name, and
they are natives of the Near East and
the southeast Of Europe, whence, In
deed come the majority Of garden
flowers.
1t Is a strange and fascinating fact
that some animals and plants vary
more under domestication than others
and the more variation the more
beauty.
The differences between q Pomera-
MAN and Q Russian wolf hound are
greater than the differences between the
most widely dissimilar cats. Although
the magnolia has now been under culti-
walton several thousand years in
China, any one species OF magnolia is
pretty much the same thing In all In
dividual plants. But the response to
human touch given by the bearded
irises Is truly marvellous. The branch
Of the family to which our wild blue
flag belongs, and the wild yellow nag
of Europe, so closely related, Is but the
poor relations Of the proud bearded
group. An vet, In the determination
of the wild flag to stay wild, In its
relative rigidity, Is there not, alter all,
something rather appealing? So much

and Williams knew good one when he saw it. But at that time he had no special ambition to take up th- game.
 This year the Texan has galloped to the vanguard in the big parade of polo on Long Island, along with Cecil Smith, another rider from the southwest.
 Williams at g. the oldest of llle international squad, has attracted unusual attention by his daring, brilliant riding.
 Ponies seem to know they have a master in the saddle when the Rube has the leg up
 Whether or not Williams makes the American team for the series with England, starting September 6, he will have played a prominent role in the campaign of prepara- tion.
 Primarily defensive player, Rube consistently has spurred Capt. Tommy Hitchcock's varsity Whites by his spectacular work at No. $ or at back for the jayvee Reds" Williams was finally given a trial at No. with the regulars, inas- much as this position has been the one most difficult to fill. He made a good impression, but did not do so we'll as when in the backfeld.
 Williams and Smith broke into polo at about the same time. through the aid of George Miller, well known San Antonio dealer in polo ponies.
 They first were given jobs 1t breaking in the mounts and fell naturally into competition. Williams has ranked at six goals as a back, for the past two years. He has earned, two-goal increase, on the basis of his performances in the test matches.
