President McKinley's pref- erence in the numerous family of the fragrant blossoms was the “Grace Darling,” a vivid rose color and as odorous as the old-fashioned musk pink first produced by florists of Chester county. George Pierce and his brother-in-law, Humphrey Marshall, may be called the fathers of American botany, and in the interests of the scientific rearing of plants they be- gan the first American arboretum in the old Pierce place, Longwood, now the country seat of Pierre S. Dupont. All the many botanical gardens in this country, including the extensive and attractive one maintained in Wash- {ington by the government, are off- shoots of this. The present owner has carefully preserved every one of the ancient plantings of the Pierces, who continued in possession of the estate from 1797 until about fifty years ago. The labyrinths of box are not only the oldest and most luxurious on American sofl, but the most intyi- cate in design. Those at Mount Ver- non are more than a century later. The splendid old Greek sun dial which | Marshall - brought to Longwood in | 1728 still keeps guard over the sunny | glade leading to the flower plot. For a garden which is more than six { score years, it is odd that the White | House Park possesses no sun dial, and a pleasant rumor comes that the American Academy in Rome intends |soon to make up this deficlency by presenting one of the very oldest !dials known to the world, one which | was possibly brought to Rome by one {of the conquering generals of the Punic wars. Egypt has the oldest sun ldials in the world, but it is just as easy to buy the crown Sewels as to get one of the specimens owned by the Ptolemies. But in Rome anti- quarians have very ancient examples |of telling time done in bronze, mel- {lowed by time and very ornate. Some | | are et on short monoliths, elaborate- |1y chiseled in mythological themes and epigrams. Any of the knolls in south grounds of the White would be a suitable place for a sun dial or in the Dutch garden be- tween the executive offices and the | mansion proper. i the | Hous Although Albert Bacon Fall has five years more to serve as senator from | New Mexico, his friends believe that | his burning zeal for certain adjust- {ments in public land, and particularly for a more equitable policy in the arid belt, woul lead him to resign rom the upper house of the legisla= iture fo rthe more subordinate post in [il| the” executive branch.

Mrs, Fall is an Arkansan, and very loyal to her state, though she has lived in the southwest for nearly thir- ty years. The Falls live adjacent to the” Mexican border, in a typical vil- lage which is called Three Rivers, a circumstance which has moved thej humorist, Charles Fletcher Lummis. | to mirth. . “Rivers” he savs, “are merely lithographical in the arid belt, and those from which nator Fall's home city derives its name might be collected into one small pool, in which a minnow would have to stand on its head to keep its gills wet” But the Falls live on an extensiv nch and have their own irrigation plant, and in a land of perpetual sunshine and cooling breezes from the mountains they enjoy everything good to eat in the fruit and vegetable way, with ex- cellent beef and mutton raised on their own ranges. i Hundreds of Washington people who know the chairman of the rcpublic committee, who is universally slated to be the next Postmaster General, say he is the most genial and kindl of men, but there is one subject which he is extremely touchy. allusion to that Will Hays, h father, who wrote those touching bal- lads 8o popular some forty and more years ago, “No One to Love” and “N body’s Darling.” will make the chair man’s manner fall at least twenty de- grees in warmth. That Will Hays Is embalmed in the early history of song writing in this country and his productions continue to figure in every collection, together with those of Stephen Foster and others, of the same era. Mr. Hays of this genera- tion is practical and given to prose, and he feels rather abashed over the | lamentations of his ancestor. Many shington people recall the fury with which Dr. Thomas Dunn Eng- lish reccived any allusion to the fa- moys song he in his youth, “Beh Bolt” Dr. English served two terms in Congress from 1592 1 Sponsors of the “See America first” | movement are proud of the fact that fully nine-tenths of the winter tour- ists confined their rambles to Florida, California, the resorts in South Caro. lina and on the midgulf c with occasional visits to the beauty spots of the Caribbean sea.

Several new and entirely sanitary hotels are now accessible to the Holy city, but many British visitors bring tents and all’ paraphernalia for life in the open, and are granted full space in the sand hills, which rise ail about th pital of ancient Israel. The American contingent in Paris will also be rgely represented about Jerusalem in a few weeks, and to pass Easter in Palestine is replacing the old desire of the pious to pass it in Rome. One of the most beautifully ap- pointed dinners given this winter by the Lotus Club in 'w York occurred last week and was in honor of Baron Rosen, former ambassador from Rus- sia, who has made such a brave strug- gle, first with failing sight and then With the total loss of 1 through the downfall Baron young a conspicuous 1 set in the velt < Elizabeth, who w ader in the diplomat riddle vears of the Roose- regi have ‘been living quietly in New York for three vears.

Bar- oness Elizabeth was one of the court ladies of the unfortunate eldest daughter of the czar and was her close friend. She had received many honors and decorations besides hand- some gifts from the grand duchess, among them an exquisite jeweled miniature, which was among the few treasures she succeeded in bring- Ing with her Into e: Lord and Lady Chalmers and their young daughter, Lady Hermione, who Will spend some ‘months in Washington during the financial negotiations with which Lord Chalmers is charged, will be notables “of the post-inauguration sea- son. Lord Chalmers is in_the realm of British finance what John Pierpont Mor- gan is in American, and he knows a large proportion of the statesmen with whom he will be assoclated in Washing- ton. He has fllled every role in the British treasury, having organized the national insurance system of the United Kingdom and reorganized the inland revenue system. He is now auditor of the civil list and has been blue-penciling some cherished benefactions to scions of royalty. In the literary world Lord Chalmers is known as the greatest liv- ing authotity on the native tongue of the Hindoos, “Pali,” and he knows its ramifications, the dialects used in Bur- ma, Siam and Ceylon. Lady Chalmers is one of the powerful socfal sponsors of the Lloyd George ministry and has been conspicuous in entertaining the coalition ministry which served during the crucial days of the war. ‘While nearly all of Washington is in- terested in the new cabinet, there is a e contingent tremendously cancern- | ed about the next Secretary of Agricul- ture, and that he is to be another Towan, a friend and neighbor of the present in- cumbent and presumably liké him as far as a republican can be like a democrat, is hailed with jov. The Merediths are keenly fond of flowers, and their apart- ment is always abloom, and nothing can lure Mrs,” Meredith from a flower exhibit when she thinks her presence will aid the good cause. Now Washington in its rosariaps is cherishing an ambition to give a show which will place it on the map beside Los Angeles'and Portland, Ore. The directors of the national experi- mental rose garden at Arlington farms, after visiting private estates, rose-loving suburbs and governmental gardens, say that if its resources were unified, Washington could present a rose display of stupendous size and beauty. Mrs. Meredith has been ap- proached on the subject, but mod- estly pointed out how recently she had come and how short was to be hersojourn, and suggested that the wife of the next Secretary of Agri- culture would be the logical person to inaugurate such a happy movement, or some one who could represent ! him. There are famous rose gardens about Washington that would make a splendid display. There are sev- eral outlying towns about the capi- tal where rose lovers cultivate many hundred -bushes so intensely as to draw forth- wonder from florists, If the Secretary of Agriculture smiles on the movement and the Chamber of Commerce and the Board of Trade recognize how fine a thing such an exhibit would be for a greater and more beautiful Washington, half of the work is already accomplished.
