PHILLIPS, JR. HE air was charged with a mild expectancy when we drove up to the meeting place, Mr. Chil- ton's gate. Only a few people had mounted and were walking in slow circles, warming up. Some stood be- side their horses, supervising the ad- Jjustment of tack, while others gath- ered in little groups, chatting aim- lessly and amiably. Now and then a groom disappeared into one of the cavernous vans and emerged with a horse, walking stiff-legged down the ramp. At intervals a car rolled up, a man or woman in riding clothes stepped out, strolled over to join a conversation, or set about looking for a certain horse. We say an air of expectancy in- fused these leisurely proceedings be- cause there is no such thing in Vir- ginia as a hunt meeting without an aura of excitement about it. No doubt our own sense of the piquancy of the hour was heightened by the fact this was to be our first day with the Warrenton Hunt, but even those to ‘whom the morning light, the country- side, the faces, the horses, are fa- miliar as an old shoe, invariably feel a tremor of anticipation in that half hour just before hounds move off. Open Fields Inviting. ‘HERE before them lie the open rolling fields, stretching to distant coverts, the faraway dens where a hunted fox may seek' refuge. This may be, after all, the day .of the sea- son’s biggest run, of the most his- | toric chase in all the hunt annals. | Who may foresee these things? Three, | four hours hence, the fresh horse one | is about to mount may stagger in wearily behind a victorious pack, be- hind the relentless hounds that have brought down their quarry, outwitted and outrun the fox that carried them miles and miles across hill and valley, gorge and meadow. It may sound melodramatic to say | that hunting people go around with their heads filled with such fantasies, but actually it is unlikely that any one who has got foxhunting deep in the blood could approach a meeting on a fine morning without precisely those ideas flashing, at least dimly, into mind. And the day of which we speak was one to conjure up dreams. It was a trifie nippy, the thermometer prob- lsb]y around 42 at that hour, with | skies slightly overcast and clearing, but not rapidly enough to endanger the moisture in the atmosphere. The going underfoot was superb, cushioned yet not soft. On every side lay peer- less open country, the fields connected | by innumerable panels, the woods pierced by lanes and cross-paths. They say that perfect settings and scenting do not inevitably make for a great hunt. Luck, the whims of a fox and a dozen other elements enter into that magical creation. The day that developed out of this background, this lovely Virginia morning, was not an historic one. It was more sig- nificant in implications than events. Yet those who stayed until the end had meat for lively small talk when they returned. A bit after 10 o'clock we were all ahorse and hounds moved away, draw- ing & covert adjoining Mr. Chilton's.

The riders broke and swept after them. It was all over in less than a minute. Charlie (the fireside name for a fox in Virginia) had ducked into a nearby den. The imagination told you in- stantly, of course, that had Charlie more obligingly headed for some dis- tant retreat, there would have been a smash-bang run, with hounds in view most of the way and probably a kill.

Since the start of the campaign: Rosslyn has held to the top rung of the major circuit, winning 22 games out of 27 rolled. Timely rolling has brought the Wootton-Ellis-Sperber-Levy-Rose combinaton quite & few of its victories. Against this pace-setting the Luckies have won 21 tilts, with two record marks, a game of 612 and set of 1,690 to their credt. Incidentally, the only loss charged to Rosslyn is the two- game trimming of the Luckies in their | first meeting. Other matches will find the Bill Woods entertaining the Arcadians at Lucky Strike, National Beer and Con- vention Hall rolling at Convention Hall and Sewanee invading Northeast ‘Temple. A NEW high set record for the sea- son is the possession of the Co- lumbians in the Washington Ladies’ League, the result of their 1,627 pin- fall last night at the expense of the Cardinals. The evening’s high game of 553 aided the record-making of the Columbians, who took all three. While Lorraine Gulli was crashing out a set of 368, Ellen Jennewine scored the highest game with a 136. Keeping pace with the Columbians were the El Gees and the Shamrocks, Vee Bees and Colonials, respectively, Another match saw the Bee Ques win.. ning the odd game from the Nomads.

The company need not be limited to personalities, and Iluggage of an archaic type and of decrepit appear- ance has the unpleasant habit of cast- ing mute aspersion on its owner. Not that you want to impress the pullman perter—or perhaps you do. It's rather like the oft-repeated, un- pleasant occasion when the little darl- in' spills the beans to the company present. We've shown here attractive luggage that will “hold everything™ from the bouncing baby wardrobe— which will take a lot of bouncing—to the cloth locker bag, as well as a num- ber of small accessories to aid and abet | traveling comfort.

Bedtime .| Nature’s @ Children BY LILLIAN COX ATHEY. 4 O YOU know the graceful ~ hemlocks in your neighbore hood?, They are such dise tinctive trees, with a bearing that suggests dignity and courage in every iine. There are not so many species, and so it will not be difficult for you to identify these sturdy trees. Japan has two native ones and there is one in ths Himalayas, another in our Eastern States and three in the West. The name Tsuga was given to the hemlock by the Japanese. Besides being extremely ornamental, these trees are adaptable when it comes to soil, and they long ago de- cided that a good foundation, though it takes time, is the very best way to establish uccessful life. So the first thing a hemlock seed does is to develop a dense root system and go down deep enough to have a goodly supply of moisture. The member shown here grows to be & broadly pyramidal tree, 50 to 100 feet high, with pendulous, horizontal limbs. The bark is a lovely cinna- mon red with gray tints, thin fur- rows and scaly. The wood is very light, coarse-grained, and not espe- cially durable, although suitable for = oo use in building and also for railroad ties. The bark, rich in tannin, is used for dyeing and tanning leather. The dark, shiny leaves are, as you know, two-ranked, flat and blunt, their pale linings being very notice- able when you stand under the hem- lock and look up into the branches. The tree is shedding some of her clothes every day, but her leaves are all three years old before they drop off. In May you will have the flowers, both kinds on the same tree. The cones are developed in one year and fall away from the branch in the Spring. You will find many of the oval, thin-scaled and red-brown seeds on the ground and scattered some dis- tance by the wind—provided, of course, the squirrels have not found them ahead of you. From Nova Scotia to Southern Michigan and Central Wisconsin and Minnesota, as well as southward to- ward Delaware and along the Appa- lachian Mountains to Alabama, hem- lock sentinels hold their own against the elements that test their courage and seem to find them worthy. Pick up a handful of seeds when next you visit a hemlock in the Springtime and plant them. You wil! be surprised to see how much pruning the youngsters will stand after they get a firm hold in the earth. In the ‘Winter you are sure to find your lit- tie friend, the red squirrel, busily en- gaged in seeking the seeds, and when you both meet at the same place watch out, trailer, for a sound scold- ing by the woodsman that thinks he owns the tree.

He'was watching for his breakfast. He was silent and motionless. He was hungry. Fishing hadn't been too good the day before, and so far this morning he hadn't been able to catch a fish. There were fish down in that black, cold water. He knew it. It was a matter of pa- tience, and Rattles has the patience of the true fisherman. Sooner or later he would see one of those fish. At last a gleam of anticipation shone in the eyes of Rattles. He flew out from his perch, hovered an in- stant above the water, started to plunge down, checked himseif, and, rattling his disappointment, flew back 0 his perch. That fish had been too big, and that was quite as exasperat- ing as it was disappointing. That fish was so big that Rattles could not possibly have caught it. He resumed his patient wait. By and b§ theré came another opportunity. I suspect it would have made you shiver to see Rattles plunge head first into that black, cold water. However, he didn't mind it.

That Trout didn’t want to be carried to a favorite feeding place. He squirmed. He wriggled. He tried to flap and flop. He was slippery. Rattles did his best to hold on, but, in spite of all he could do, that Trout slipped out of his bill and down he fell; down through the tops of the pine trees to land on the ground with a thump. Rattles was too disappointed even to make a sound. He kept right on, but presently turned and went back to resume his watch for fish.
