Last months trials attracted IL entries
from Illinois, Ohio, New York, Pennsylvania,
Maryland and Texas The society plans to
hold regional trials during the year, with
the second national event scheduled again
next summer. The national trial may be
held again at Staunton.
Winner this year was Meg a collie owned
and handled by Arthur N Allen of Nc
Leansboro. III. One of the most colorfu
handlers in the event was w. B. Mackenzie,
who came down from New York with the
shepherds crook he brought to this country
from Scotland more than Is years ago Mr
MacKenzic'S whistled commands to his dog
were like a mocking birds calls and his
collie, BeSS responded to each note.
Noslng ahead of Mr. LockWoods collie
for second place in the trials was Tot an

ford, Wooster. Ohio
Pete, who is black and white like most
of the Border Collies, will do any herding
job that comes up on the Rolfe farm-even
to handling chickens. Working with sheep
his commands.
One of the few Border Colies in Mary
land, Pete is the product of centuries of
breeding. Early Scottish shepherds found
need for a herding dog that would guide
gather and protect flockS and otherwise
help herdSmcn in their daily tasks and the
Border Collie is of the breeds that
proved its worth.
The Border Collie today is trained as a
general working farm dog. Although black
and white is the predominant color he may
have any markings and still be registered
provided his parents were trained working
dogs
Under no circumstances will the society
register a dog from nonworkng parents
even if he is a purebred collie. BY refusing
to register sons and daughters of nom
working dogs the society is making certain
that the Border Collie will remain prac-

she enjoys more-the house or the
garden.
The latter has been greatly en-
larged during her residence. Mrs.
Vandegrift likes to entertain in the
garden. so she took special pains to
make 1t as spacious as possible.
There is large velvety lawn, bor-
dered by Old English flower beds that
have been planned so that some
thing is blooming from early spring
to late fall. And there are such cozy
spots as the fiagstone terrace under
an old coffee tree where one can
watch for the birds and squirrels
which make their homes in the trees
and shrubbery lining the garden
walls.
Just now the color notes are pro-
vided by pansies, ageratum, petu-
MAS, lilies and lantana, to name a
few. Crepe myrtle will be bloom
ing soon. But Mrs. Vandegrift says
the garden really is at its best in
the spring when the azeleas and
dog wood are especially lovely.
She sought the advice of special
lists in her plans for both the gar
den and the house, but Mrs. VAN
degrift's flair for color and design
Is apparent throughout.
Her love of gardens dates back
to her childhood in Virginia. The
former Mildred Strobe, she was
born near Lynchburg in an old
house that has been in her family
for several generations. Most Of
her girlhood was spent there, with
the exception Of the eight years she
lived in South Carolina where her
father, the late Henry s. Strobe,
was the first president of Clemson
College and later mathematics
professor there.
After she married the young
Marine oflcer, who was to win both
the Congressional Medal of Honor
and the Navy Cross for his leader
