will enlarge the lines of plants and

widespread success of last years
mart, which was the first one of its
kind held by the guild, has assured
Washington the establishment of
this event as an annual spring oc-
casion just as several other Eastern
cities have done.
The rising Gothic spires of the
Cathedral have drawn a parallel
development of the scenic back
ground for the structure. One of
the beauty spots is the Bishops
