CheUy Chase GardenS to
Be Open for Inspection

Practically every type of
modern and old fashioned gar
den is represented in the
garden tour" being arranged
by the Chevy Chase Garden
Club of Maryland for Tuesday,
May &c. The tour is being
planned by Mrs. Richard Fay
Jackson and her committee
with the view of providing
garden enthusiasts with a COM
plete panorama of garden pos
sibilities both for milionaires
and folks of more modest
means. Convenience has also
been taken into consideration
in planning the tour and IA of
the % gardens thus far in
cluded are within easy walking
distance OF Chevy Chase Circle.
An information arbor" will
be placed at Chevy Chase
Circle on the day of the tour
so the journeyerS in search
Of garden beauty may be in
formed of the easiest and quick
est way to make the rounds.
Flowers, EvergreenS Considered
The possibilities not only of
flowers, but of trees and ever
green paintings, have been con-
Sidered in the tour. The estate
Of Mr.. and Mrs. George P. Nc
Cabe in Brookville Rd., thus
is an instance of remarkable
tree planting carried out over
a period of years. The borders
of the McCabe estate are out
lined in Lombardy poplars
planted primarily for their
quick growth. Directly inside
the line of poplars are black
oaks which are planned to take
the poplars' places after a few
years. Artistic groupings of sill
yer birches and weeping will
lows accent the rolling con-
tours of the McCabe estate and
contrast delightfully."- with dark
spruces and other evergreens.
Mrs. McCabe is also particu-
larly proud of her Spruce
row. a long avenue Of these
symmetrical and deep-toned
evergreenS. A collection of very
old box is also a feature of
Mrs. McCabe's evergreens.
Mrs. McCabe also specializes
in peonies and peony enthusi-
asts will find more than so
varieties of this vividly lovely
flower in her gardens. 1t is
expected that they will be in
the height of their blooming
at the time of the tour.
Beautiful Sunken Garden
One of the most remarkable
and classically beautiful spots
Of the tour is the sunken gar.

FASHIONS
BY WILMA LA VILE

The time has come when
women take as much interest
in having a garden N good
taste as they do in having
their homes in good taste. Flow.
ers are as important as hand
blocked linens or chintzes. Gar
dens must not only produce
flowers for their houses, but
they must be liveable. Further.
more they provide hea4thful
recreation and a delight for
anyone who has so much as a
window box to work in.
Costumes Are Simple
Both costumes and acces-
sorieS for gardening are ex-
tremely workable and because
they are simple and useful, they
are charming. The regulation
costume for a smart feminine
gardener is a pair of overalls
of some washable fabric, worn
with a shirt, sweater or a cot
ton blouse. A simple Isle shirt
is popular and practical. You
may either wear old shoes or
soft canvas shoes of some sort,
whatever is the most comfort
able. If, you want protection
from the sun, wear a floppy
straw hat. If you don't, wear a
beret or no hat at all. The
hands must be protected and
the correct covering is a pair
of coarse cotton gloves.
Garden Accessories
Garden tools are science in
themselves which we will not go
into. But there are other things
that add comfort to gardening
that you may not think of with.
out a reminder. There are
kneeling pads that help if you
have much wedding to do. Then
there are baskets equipped with
shears, trowel and other instru-
ments that are convenient.
Wicker baskets for carrying.
flowers are attractive and par.
ticularly so when they have a
pointed stick to stand them on.
Garden accessories are more de-
lightful every year and chief
among them this year, we have
noticed green frogs and gnomes.
birds and animals. that peep
from the shrubs and flowers.

Harris and rwrri

den and evergreen court Of the
william S. Corby place at
Chevy Chase Circle. This mag.
nificent place seems to have
been transported bodily from
a Medicean palace. An ancient
marble well, silvery rejecting
ball and huge pottery pieces Of
rose-henna tone, are happy
thoughts of the architect while
additional color is supplied by
many roses.
The home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Alfred Fowler has provided a
smaller garden of really ex-
quisite taste to add to the
tour. This garden was designed
by Rose Greeley and its care
fully planned landscaping and
rotation of blossoms marks it
as a practically perfect attain
ment. Stone and marble are
contrasted interestingly in its
design. A hawthorn hedge is
unusual and its little white
garden" where every blossom
throughout the season is white
is something that demands
superlatives.
The memorial garden and
wall for the late uncle of Mrs.
Adolph Hoehling is another
spot that will cause the garden
enthusiasts to revel in ex-
carnations. Judge and Mrs.
Hoehling have planned this
charming retreat so that it
supplies an ideal spot for out
door living in midsummer. The
wall has been designed by the
Hoehling's next door neighbor,
w. 1. Deming. the architect,
and shows that wall may
display neighborly spirit.
Large round openings in 1t
provide for a view of the ad-
joining gardens of the Demings
and the Hoehlings, also for a
little neighborly chatter.
The Deming garden has been
planned and executed entirely
by Mrs. Deming, with the aid
of the necessary labor in con-
structing walks. It is a model
of cleverness and ingenuity.
Many Garden Ornaments
Differing levels give attrac-
tive perspectives and all sorts
of the most unusual garden
ornaments are used. Some OF
the elaborate balustrades OF
the old Shoreham Hotel were
secured by Mrs. Dcming and
now appear to advantage in
the garden, while old marbles
and other quaint ornaments
have been obtained on trips
in the country.
Quite the pride of Mrs. Dem
ing's heart, though, is the
Japanese garden which she
has evolved from what was
once the chicken yard. She
it fitting this part of her gar
den up for afternoon teas In
the summer.
Arrangements have been COM
pleted to serve tea to the
tourists at two homes, those
of DR.. and Mrs. Frank Hood
Shultz, where tea will be in
order in the antique-furnished
slave cabin, and at Mrs. Boyd
Carpenters home in Melrose
Street.
Mrs. Shultz will be assisted
by Mrs. Walter Gait, Mrs.
