Radio Talk
On Herbs
To Be Given
Mrs. A. T. Emerson
Will Promote
Flower Mart

Among the newcomers in Wash
ington who will be active this year
for the first time at the annual
flower mart, held by All Hallows
Guild at the Washington Cathedral
of st. Peter and st. Paul, is Mrs.
Arthur T. Emerson.
Her first assignment will be a
radio appearance tomorrow after
noon at 3:45 O'Clock with Elinor Lee
over Station WJSV, when she will
discuss the use of herbs for food
f1avoring as she saw them used in
many parts of the world.
AS the wife of 1t. Comdr Emer-
son, U. S. N, she has lived in many
localities and countries, including
American Samoa, Italy, France and
China. This is the first time they
have resided on tour in Washing
ton. 1t. Comdr. Emerson had re-
tired from active duty to his farm
near Darlington, Nd. when the
present national emergency recalled
him into service.
Mrs. Emerson is an experienced
radio speaker as she had a knitting
hour" over the Omaha (Nebr1 local
station when her husband was on
duty there. Coming in contact with
French chives or Italian basil pots
was not the reason for Mrs. Emer-
sons interest in herbs. Her great
grandmother was an EnghshWoman
and left for her descendants a cook
book with recipes for unusual herb
dishes. An application of these rec
ipes was one of Mrs. Emersons
first delights as beginning house
keeper and since then she has wild
ened that knowledge.
The herb garden on the Emerson
farm in Maryland is one acquired at
the Cottage Herb Garden at the
Washington Cathedral and promises
to supply Mrs. Emerson with herbs
for the week end visits the family
will make there during the summer.
Mrs. Emerson has two sons. the
elder being by her first husband,
1t. Earle Childs, who was lost at
sea in the first World War while
acting as an American observer on
a British submarine. Ensign Earle
Childs, who was born few weeks
after his fathers death, is now on
duty aboard the Idaho. There is
a younger son. Arthur T. Emerson,
ir.. who is a student in the class Of
1943 in the United States Naval
Academy.

forts of DR.. A NJ. Frazier, pastor
of the First Presbyterian Church in

Baldwin Board of Trustees. Part of
the purchase price was appropriated
by the Virginia Legislature, after
which Mrs. Hull induced the Wood

the sum needed. After its purchase
Mrs. Hull continued her work toward
the restoring and furnishing.
