Speaking of flowers reminds one
that Mrs. Roper loves them and
is, herself, very able and clever
gardener. Her home in South
Carolina was always surrounded
by 0 profusion of blossoms, as is
her Washington residence. From
the sun porch of the house on
Woodland Drive one can look
down into the long, sloping, ter
raced garden.
At the far end is the spot
where the famous watermelon
parties are held. Lucky are those
who are "bidden' to come and
share in the gorgeous melons,
which are sent to the RoperS
from the South. At these "feasts"
one never even considers stop
ping at one piece-with the gen.
tie but insiStent urgings Of the
hosts-it simply isn't done.
Early Gardening
Already Mrs. Roper has been
attending to her gardens cos
tune for this year. The beds Of
loyal ANIMALS have been "re-
modelled and fitted" and few
new decorations have been added
here and there. There is trag-
edy, though. for the hard Winter
was too much for the splendid
old lockwood, which was a favor
lite with Mrs. Roper. At this
point Of the Season, encouraged
by the recent warm and golden
days, the tulips and iris have
bloSsomed out and are holding
court in their delightful array
of brilliant colors. They will be
followed by a regular parade of
fragrant an dlovely blooms-with
roses next on the program.

of sending two threatening letters to
President Roosevelt, Austin Phelps
Palmer, 50. was arrested in his ex-
pensive Park Avenue apartment to-
day by secret service men. Retired
mechanical engineer and clubman, he
was said by Assistant United States At
torney ]. Howard Carter to have con-
feSsed
Carter declined to disclose the con-
tents of the threatening notes but in
dicated Palmer blamed the President
for financial reverses.
Arraigned before United States Com
missioner Garret w. Cotter. the we'll
dressed prisoner was held in $4,000 bail
for hearing January "a. Before then.
authorities said. the case will be laid
before a grand jury. The charge car
ries a possible penalty Of $1,000 fine
and imprisonment up to five years.
Palmer's butler, Karl Nillsen, was
taken to the Federal building with his
employer for questioning.
Typewriter Is Traced.
The first Of two unsigned threats
sent to the President, secret service
men said bore a return address, but
an effort had ben made to erase 1t.
They managed to restore 1t. however,
and it led them to the apartment
house occupied by Palmer and some
so other tenants.
While some operatives kept the
building and its occupants under con-
slant surveillance, others thumbed
through the files of the renting agent
until they found letter character
lied by certain peculiarities of type.
They found not one such letter but
two, they said, and both were from
Palmer. In one he complained about
noises which interfered with his sleep.
and in the other he asked that some
thing be done about the heating sys-
tenn.
