CAPPS CO. —GORHAM SILVERWARE— JEWELERS OPTOMETRISTS THE BANNER-HERALD, ATHENS, GEORGIA GARDENS OLD and NEW (By Lucy W. Nicholson) China, a land of treasures in beautif}xl trees, shrubs, flowers, as well as edible plants, hag been the objective of many a voyage made by horticulturists and merchants for goods to delight the customers. And China not only delights the commercially minded, but the resi dentg in foreign legations learn to love the sights, sounds, and smells of this wonderful country of an tiquity. An Englishwoman said that when she was in England she was homesick for China, while she was in China she was homesick for England as her two children were in <chool there—with her mother and father. Of course writers have written long and lovingly of China—a country so full of interest to the rest of the world. . Ann Bridges gives me some charming pictures of China—the very atmosphere and odors of Chi na she puts between the leaves of her bock. She paints in vivid style the colors of the earth, rivers, trees, city walls, and temples. You can feel the flerce heat and see the strong glare of the sun; you can hear the tinkle of the water in the temple conduits, and above this murmuring noise you can hear the insistent, mechanical note of the bird that sings in the tem ple gardens, probably, in a blos soming tree of peach or almond. The first scenes of the story are laid in Pekin, which is a walled city over twenty-five square milesi enclosed by walls thirty feet high and twenty-five feet wide at the base and fifteen feet wide at the top—walls kept in perfect condi tion. Peking, viewed from the top of the walls, looks like a city of gar dens—a city that is a garden. There are many open spaces around temples, palaces, the for eign legations, and in these spaces are many groves of trees. Tile roofs add a note of color—blue, green, and yellow glazed tiles. One of the most sumptuous and spacious partg is the British lega tion. Here the author speakg of “a group of tamarisks, whose boughs wore a faint bloom -of pale green and pale rose, transparent and tenuous as chiffon.” She takesi you to a picnic at an old temple, takes you to “look-see” through her eyes. Outside Peking on the way to this temple, iniles away, in the dis tance “spindly trees shape them elves as patterns! in blue lace on the sky line.” They go by motor as far ag a river, then the cars are driven back to Peking by the chauffeurs. After the party crosses the river by fer ry, they are met by a Chinaman in charge of donkeys for the party of foreigners to ride the remaining eight milest to the temple. As they ride along they pass Chinese tillers of the soil dressed in blue working the fields. The peach trees are in bloom on the terraces, dead grasst of the past vear covering the untilled places. Only trees whose roots reach deep into the earth wake with the springtime as the winter ig a dry season, and in porth China there is no dew. Later come the grass and flowers with the rains. The temple is on a high hill, winding roads through the gardens lead to it. “The temple gardeng are fresh ened by runnels of bright water which flow into open sStone con duite through ' every courtyard, great or small of the temple, chat tering beside the flagstones in the shadowed passages, between build ings, racing down inclined ehoa.ls.l past flights of marble steps, or lin gering with lazy tinklings.and soft murmurs in pools below the grot toes, where goldfish swim myste riously. The whole temple is full of the light voice of water; the formality of stone and shrine sym bol is made gay with its shining freedom brought in like the bloss oming trees to worship within the holy places. “The Chinese so deeply love and honor the things of nature—air water, flowers, and trees — more deeply than almost any other peo ple; not with a vague poetic vearning as northern races do, but with a practical recognition, a visi ble universal allegiance. These things are, ag it were, part of the Established Church, not lovely pa gans, or shy dissenters. “In one of the courts is an im mense white pine, its snowy trunk and branches shining among the great trusses of dark-green nee dles. The white pine is the most improbable tree—too good to be true: it is impossible to believe at first that some ifigenious Chinese has not sandpapered its ‘smooth trunk and boughs, and then given it several coatg of whitewash. “In another court is an enormous gingko tree—really a tree of the Coal Epoch, geologically, and no longer found wild anywhere in the world. How like the Chinese to preserve from the Coal Age till now in their temple gardens!” The Chinese, worshipping ances tors—the past, have preserved the beauty of centuries, and have pre sented to the world the wealth of agesl past in trees, shrubs, and flowers. ; Peking, temples, trees — gingko trees—seem a far-fetched subjec? from a far-away land. But gingko treeg have been “fetched” here, you see them growing in front of the Bradshaws’, on the Grimes’ lawn, the: Burnets', the Calloways’, the Snellings’, and on the university campus near the chapel and aca demic building. This last tree was so beautiful one fall that one of the university men wrote of it, “There was a shower of gold last night in Athensy but no one seems to know i But had you seen the drifts of golden leaves that fell so silently from the gingko tree’s branches— thig tree so lovely in saying good bye to summer and a season’s growth of leaves—it is just possi ble that you would be planning to plant a gingko tree this winter.
