Part of the Maine monument—“Atlantic Ocean”—a figure of a fourteen-foot man. It is one of the largest pieces of carved marble in the world. Spanish’ War Veterans of Atlanta,, aided by other citizens of patriotic minds, dispatched to New York City last week substantial evidence of their interest in the handsome Maine Me morial Monument which has been erected at the entrance to Central Park in the metropolis. # The evidence was in the form of checks for subscriptions toward the $183,000 that the monument cost. Georg- Niles Watson, commander of General Henry W. Lawton Camp, 'No. 6, the Atlanta branch of the Span ish War Veterans, yesterday repeated his former appeal to the public for help toward paying the expenses of the monument. The monument has been erected by public subscription, nation-wide in scope, in honor of the American sail ors and soldiers who died with the Maine. It was erected at Central Park, New York, because that site was considered the most auspicious available In the United States. “The heroes of the Spanish-Ameri- can war were national heroes, and not of any one section,” said Com mander Watson yesterday, voicing again his appeal. ‘ Although stationed at the entrance to the nation, it is as much the possession of the South as of New York, and, symbolizing the heroism of the nation's men, it is worthy of contributions from every one.” Appeals tc Veterans. To members of hi.< camp and to the public Commander Watson has ad dressed a formal appeal for contribu- officers of the Spanish War Veterans and the local appeal of Commander Watson have gone out. D. A. R. Aids the Fund. Dispatches that came to Atlanta yesterday from New York Indicated that subscriptions have been made to a large extent by members of other patriotic organizations than the Spanish War Veterans. Daughters of the Revolution in many sections have been foremost with subscrip tions. The movement has not been limited. In many States the United States War Veterans are vieing with each other in efforts to raise funds. Even from Cuba, the cause of all the strife, comes assurances that many of the faithful are there. One dispatch from New York tells of a message received by Maurice Simmons, past command er-in-chief of the Spanish War Vet erans, from Dr. Aristides Agramonte, commander of Havana Camp, No. 1, Havana, Cuba. Dr. Agramonte, with In a few days, exposing to view the marble gates now practically com pleted. Subscriptions by Atlantans may be forwarded to George Niles Watson, commander General Henry W. Law- ton Camp, No. 6, 118 Form wait i Street, or to the Sunday American, to be forwarded to the Maine Memo rial Committee, New York City. Or contributions may be dispatched di rectly to Ernest W. Larkin, treasurer Maine Monument Committee, 2S8 Wil liam Street, New York City. The local camp of Spanish War Veterans, organized July 26. 1912, is the strongest in Georgia, with many of the State's most prominent citi zens as its members. It meets the first and third Wednesday of each month at the Auditorium-Armory. tions, specifying that if only 50 cents were donated by each veteran the de sired amount of $20,000 easily would be raised. Only $20,000 is necessary of all the $133,000 that the monument commit tee set out to attain. Before the com pletion of the monument only $143,000 was believed necessary, according to the specifications. But with the se lection of the Central Park site addi tions to Ihe original plans were found necessary, and, at the suggestion of the Municipal Art Commission, gates were placed xrn each side of the cen tral pile. An expense of $40,000 was added, io raise which the committee set about as loyally as at first. The National Maine Monument Committee is composed of General James Grant Wilson, chairman; Wil liam Randolph Hearst and John W. Keller. Mr. Hearst promised that for each dollar of the $40,000 raised otherwise he would donate a dollar, making the amount necessary to raise by public subscription only $20,000. It is for this that the nation-wide appeal of the committee of the central expressions of regard for the cause, and of a remembrance of the old days, sends along $100, the contribu tion from his camp. Finishing touches on the monument at the Broadway and Fifty-ninth Street entrance to Central Park have been applied. Its unveiling will come May 30, when dignitaries of the fore most rank will attend. Several mem bers of President Wllfeon’s Cabinet and probably the President himself will be present, and thousands of soldiers and sailors will be assigned to the ceremony, besides brigades of National Guard torops. Statuary is All Ready. Attilio Piccrilli, the sculptor, noti fied the monument committee yester day that the transportation of the last groups of statuary from his stu dio in the Bronx had begun. One figure that represents the Pacific Ocean already is on the ground, and a second colossal figure typifying the Atlantic Ocean was placed on a truck yesterday at his studio, say dis patches.

A Garden of Associations; Delightful Memories Fill It If you want a garden of associa tions it is time to plan it now. It is not the kind of garden which can be perfected in a single year—every gar den worth the having is the out growth of much time and attention— so the sooner you get to work the better. It can- be a garden devoted to American plants or it can include foreign plants as well. Your own opportunities for travelling and the good nature of your friends will de termine this point. If you want help from your friends who are travelling and do not object to ask ing for it you must plan your garden immediately before they start forth on their summer travels. There is a certain garden of as sociations planted with flowers and trees and plants by it3 owner and, her friends in the course of many years. It is now beautiful, but when it began six or eight years ago it was nothing more than the corner of an old fashioned garden with a brick wall on one side and an apple orchard on the other. Kenilworth Ivy. To begin with the owner of the gar den planted a root of ivy brought from Kenilworth. She called it Amy P.obsart. There is another ivy vine sprawling over-the brick wall which she calls Windsor, as it came from V md.sor Cast le. There is a bed of tulips named for the little Dutch Princess Juliana. These Gowers in a sheltered spot blossom early every spring. The bulbs were brought from Holland. A grapevine grows over a small trellis. It is called Champagne, for it conies from the wine region of the south of France. This vine nearly re fused to live in the climate of its now home, but after much coaxing and care it sent forth roots and is now hardy and strong. A bright -not of color in the garden is made by Hall Caine, a huge fuchsia bush. It came from one of the little whitewashed cottages in the Isle of Man, the birthplace of the novelist, not very far from his home. There is a big patch of Kentucky blue grass brought from the moun tains there. There are ferns from the Catskills and the Berkshires and the Adirondacks and the Rockies and some from the warm valleys of the Alps. George Washington. George Washington is represented by a clump of daises. The owner of the garden dug one up just outside the gates of Mount Vernon. Unlike the grapevine from France, the daisy liked its new home from the first and only vigorous pulling and prun ing keep it within bounds. One of the most interesting things in t.he garden is a rose bush named for the wife of a President. The rose, a single blossom, same from the White House grounds, a gift from the woman for whom it is named. The owner of the garden put it in water. In a few days she was surprised to see that a little - root was coming from the stem of the rose, which had been carelessly broken off. She care fully placed the rose in a vase filled with water, with sand and vegetable fibre at the bottom. The rdse. after much care, took root and was planted in the garden. It is healthy and strong and is covered with blossoms each summer. . Of course every one could not have such an interesting garden. But any one could gather roots or bulbs or plants or seeds from different places, if only from the points of interest about her home. The interest at taching to this simpler sort of garden would increase from year to year and wan Id prove an incentive for outdoor life and work. The owner of the garden described has an interesting rockery in her garden. Every time she takes a mot or trip—and she is a devotee of itv torr.o—she brings home a stone. On it she scratches the date and ori ginal home of the stone. The Maclaine Sees Trot Gets a Fit of Malauneys NEW YORK. April 26.—The Ma claine of Lochbuie, godson of the Duke of Argyll, who is in America trying to make enough money to lift the mortgages on his ancestral es tates on the Isle of Mull, has been doing New’ York. Here are his views after trailing the turkey trot to its various lairs: By the Maclaine of Lochbuie. Well, I’ve been to see it and I think if we attempted it at home in any of our restaurants in the afternoon, or 1 might say at any other time, we should be tried at the Old Bailey and get a long term of imprisonment in WoWmvood Scrubs. Give me baseball every time and none of this turkey-trotting tango hopping,. one-stepping, Bostoning and other St. Vitus dances. But perhaps it’s jealousy on my part because 1 can’t do it—you are right I can’t, and upon my word I don’t think 1 want to although my figure, to tell the truth, needs reducing. But still I don’t think it is very difficult, for as far as I can see all you have to do is to grab hold of the nearest lady, be she dark, fair, gray-haired, with toppee or without; grasp her very tightly, push her shoulders down a bit, and then wriggle about as much like a slippery slush as yc possibly can. When the music stops tear to tfye nearest table and quickly ask the waiter for a whiskey and soda, not tea, remember, because although ad vertised we never serve it at the best dansante.% but only at those where you have to b« io imart-set- tish and select that it is necessary to give three weeks’ notice of your coming and full details of your fam ily tree. These were the orders sprung on me by the lady in charge after I had mounted twenty-four flights in the Hotel McAlpin, my sec ond stopping place, yesterday after noon in my tour of the Turkey Roosts. Asks the Merry Widow. Here I was informed that many of your niceHt .people dance there, and asking the merry widow at the door for their names she said: “Ah, no. we must not tell that as they would not come hole any more. And think what that would mean to us! Disaster!” She also told me that ladies were not allowed to smoke or make a noise while drinking their “tea,” arid if any of them were seen moving their shoulders they were swiftly ushered from the ball-tea-room. I asked her if they were allowed to breathe and she told me that if the pedigrees in De Brett were found to be correct she gave them special permission. An revoir. McAlpin, and the divinity in the black hat and black dress, who, to my mind, absolutely took 'the bis cuit. My first call was at 4 o’clock at Martin’s, but 1 found I was half an hour before kicking-off time. How ever, there were already anaemic, sleek-haired young nun sitting in rows sucking their thumbs waiting tfor the r.oors to open. Naughty lads! Then I went to Bustanoby’s. Well. Bustanoby, you certainly have a very smart man on the door. I like his white breeches and his well-shaped calves—they remind me so much of home . This young man told me i could not be admitted without a lady, but my American friend slipped me in and I was placed at a table in the balcony, one table away from i tall brunette, who to my way of thinking was not so dusty. On the floor below the St. Vitus dancing is at its height. A man old enough to be my father is capering around with a saucy bit, and my heart bleeds for her, because she her self is having a dash at it and doing it in some style, but he, I thought, would be better placed in a field howhing turnips. But he’s not the only grandfather who finds Busta noby’s a good place to sip the elixir of youth from a champagne glass in stead of being at home drinking vichy water for his gout, for I’m sure he had it the way he was dancing. I saw another one who certainly seemed to fancy his chance, and he, too, with out a hair on his head. Shame on you, grandpa! Go home and take the children some toys, for from what 1 see around you it will save you money in the end. “Walter, why have all those tea cups never been used?” I asked. “Oh, sir, we seldom serve tea.” said he. They wiggle much better on whisky.” * I asked him then if they fiver drank so much that they copped the brewer, but he didn’t seem to know; so 1 left. It’s getting late. 1 must take a taxi to Roi.senweber’s. riickety-click- click-click. Lor’ love a duck, how much do you say. taxi driver? Four shillings and eightpenee? Surely you mean cightpence without the four shillings because I’ve only been a mile, and I could ride all around London for the four.bob.” “Can’t help it, sir. You’re in New York, not London, and if you don’t shell out I’ll call^a cop.” And 1 should lik»‘ to have dotted him one on the snitch. I think he took me for a bit of noodle. No more taxis for m" while I’m in New York. What a change I find here at Reis- onweber’s. Printed slips on each ta ble telling me by order of His Honor, the Mayor, no spirits can be served in the tea room. Mr. Mayor, you must. have some power, because the Lord Mayor of London couldn’t do this and 1 don’t think ho would if he could. She Loses 30 Pounds. There was or. • woman \yho wrig- .;!(•(] nvrt .-not" tieally than any of ihe o;h iv. I v is told she had lost thiriy -pounds in a month, and 1 thought if sh< kept on pegging at it for . couple of years -he might be come normal. Who are those two who look like two cr;on hot bricks? Oh, that’s n. special step and consists of dislo- catiV.g both knee joints, spraining the left ink! and fracturing the big toe. Really, is it? I should call it a Hos pital Hug! Goodby, I must go back to Martin’s. There were certainly topping good wrigglers at Martin’s—the best (and th-.* worst) I’ve .-<-en this afternoon. The pick of the bunch was a young thing in a sponge bag dress with a man who I was told was Mr. Flo Ziegfeld, and they certainly knew the wriggly-wrig. They made me feel quite nervous the way they dashed .round the floor like a couple of lamplighters, and i had to shout for a strong drop of my Hieland mountain dew Still, I think l deserved it be cause the whole afternoon gave me a bad fit of the malauneys. What gbt on my nerves were tht young men, and worse still, the old who instead of being out in the coun try playing gowf or some othei hciilthly game, prefer to go to these tea parties and be what wfc call at ’"home poodle-fakers. Give me baseball and • not turkey trot. YOUTH OF 19 GETS LICENSE TO MURRY II Sparks of Love Kindled While Mrs. Flora Beers Nursed Clif-. ford Altomose to Health.

IIIIIIIIIII1I1IIIIIIIIIIIIIIII1IIIIIIII Illlllllllliliilllllllll G.B.S. on the Love Affairs of the Married W henever Bernard Shaw hurls his bolts of satire at “re spectability,” convention is set on its head and mock modesty and false morality blush at his daring. But the truth is there, and, like the great surgeon of social ills that he is, Shaw lays bare the truth, though he cuts to the bone. In “Overruled”—he strikes at his dearest enemy the sham and fraud of the smugly respectable, conventionally moral marriages of modern life. It’s brilliant, witty, clever; in a word, it’s Shaw at his best. In it, he says: “Oh, you never gave me the faintest hint that you had a wife.’* “I did, indeed. I discussed things with you that only married people really un derstand. I thought it the most delicate way of letting you know.” “Danger is delicious. But death isn’t. We court the danger; but the real delight is in escaping, after all.” “As long as I have a want, I have a reason for living. Satisfaction is death.” “To my English mind, passion is not real passion without guilt. I am a red- blooded man, Mrs. Lunn; I can’t help it. The tragedy of my life is that I married, when quite young, a woman whom I couldn’t help being very fond of.” “J longed for A guilty passion—for the real thing—the wicked thing; and yet I couldn’t care twopence for any other woman when my wife was about.” “Year after year went by; I felt my youth slipping away without ever having had a romance in my life; for marriage is all very well; but it isn’t romance. There’s nothing wrong in it, you see.” Yet under the shock of his audacity and the veneer of his wit lies the deep-rooted truth of it all—for “G. B. S.” never writes without a purpose. Splendidly illustrated with four of the best drawings Charles Dana Gibson has ever made, “Over ruled” appears in the May number of Hearst’s Magazine, a number doubly noted for its wealth of good reading because in it “The Woman Thou Gavest Me,” that masterpiece of Hall Caine’s, reaches its most exciting climax.
