BY GRETCHEN S. SMITH. ‘Washington and visitors to the Capital again will be given an opportunity to see the beautiful old gardens of George- town on the afternoon of May 14, when ! more than 20 will be opened to the public. A double benefit will be achieved by those who take advantage of the op- portunity offered them by the owners of the gardens. Helpful ideas will be picked up by those who desire to do something with that “ugly little back- yard, on which nothing seems to grow"; suggestions will be gladly offered and advice freely given by those who have profited through experience. Visitors will be amazed at what can be accom- plished through the persistent “putter- ing” in the dirt, known only to those who really love the soil and the beauti- ful things it produces. In addition to the mere pleasure and | persona: profit of a visit to the gardens, satisfaction may be derived from the thought that funds acquired from the tickets bought for admission will be used to help little children, for the Georgetown gardens opened to the pub- lic have been offered by their owners to assist in the work of the Georgetown Child Welfare Council, under whose auspices the pilgrimage of May 14 will be conducted. Opportunity at Home. While many hundreds of Washing- tonians have visited with pleasure the gardens of nearby Virginia opened re- cently to the public, Georgetown garden owners offer the opportunity to see what can be done at home. Your soil in that tiny plot seemingly so hopeless of production, is the same as will be found in many of the gardens in Georgetown. Behind the quaint old brick home of Miss Madeleine McCandless at 1524 Thirty-third street you find a little Eden shut off from the noise of the streets without. “Two years ago,” said Mrs. McCandless, the mother of Miss McCandless, “this was just a bar- ren back yard.” Hiding the wooden fence which sepa- rates the McCandless home from their neighbors stands a row of lovely, tall poplars, interspersed with squatty little cedars which cover most effectively the thin, naked trunks of the poplars. “We wanted something which would insure us privacy,” explained Mrs. McCandless, “and we wanted something attractive which would not require a long time in developing. So we selected the poplars and cedars, as both grow rapidly.” Flowering bridal wreath lends a touch of daintiness and freshness which per- vades the atmosphere of the McCand- less garden. The designing of her gar- den, from the protecting sentinel fence of poplars, to the quaint little rock gar- den hidden away in a far corner in the very back of the yard, was done en- tirely by Miss Madeleine McCandless. Her only outside assistant has been the gardener, who under her direction, has done the rough work. Another Delightful Spot. Near the McCandless home, on Volta place, will be seen another one of those delightful small gardens, whase intimacy is one of its outstanding charms. Miss Frances Sortwell, chairman of the com- mittee in charge of the garden pilgrim- age, will also show what can be done in the short period of two years. Miss Sortwell's garden, overlooked by the flagstone terrace, which on warm days proves a most delightful place to serve tea, is at present a profusion of color- ful blooms. ' Tulips, iris, pansies, violets, primroses and a vast quantity of dainty rock flowers vie with each other in the richness of their coloring. A Yustic path of flagstones leads around the flower beds planted at the sides of the grass ftlot in the center of the garden. A pleasing touch has been added to the serenity of Miss Sortwell’s outdoor sanctuary by two tiny blue love birds blends so perfectly with the blue flowers in the yard. e pilgrimage of the Georgetown gardens will offer garden hints to persons of every taste, from Just the ordinary “garden variety” to those desiring the most formal land- scaping. More than a half dozen gar- dens which were unopened to the public last year have been offered for exhibi- tion this year. They include those of Mrs. Ruth Hanna McCormick, Admiral Rousseau, Charles A. Eaton, Senator M. E. Tydings, Mrs. Mabel Walker Wille- brandt, Mrs. Blair Thaw and Mrs. E. A. McCartney. Other gardens which the public is invited to visit are those of Mrs. Ruth Pratt, Mrs. Frank West, Maj. and Mrs. Harry Leonard, Mrs. Herman_Hollerith, Mrs. E. A. Finken- staedt, Mrs. Archbold, Mrs. Frank S. Bright, Mrs. John Ihlder, Miss Bentley, Miss Madeleine McCandless, Mrs. R. F. Whitehead, Mrs. B. H. Meyer, Miss Bertha Looker, Miss Catherine Weaver, 8. Warder and Miss Frances At the home of Mrs. Meyer, in addition to her charming garden, visitors will be permitted to view some of the works of Mabel Hunt Johnson, painter of garden and homestead por- traiture, screens and over-mantel mu- rals. Mrs. Johnson has exhibited in Philadelphia and Wilmington, but this will be the first time her paintings will have been shown in this city. .
