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
$183,000 that the monument comrnit-
I tee set out to attain. .Before the com
pletion of the monument only $143,000
!/ was believed necessary, according to
1 the specifications. But with the se
lection of the Central Park site addi-
j tions to the original plans were found
necessary, and, at the suggestion of
the Municipal Art Commission, gates
! were placed on each side of the cen
tral pile. An expense of $40,000 was
added, to 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 Wilson’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. The fences that surround

1 A Garden of Associations;
Delightful Memories Fill It
I
Tf you wail a garden of associa
tions it is time to plan it now. It is
n<*t the kind of garden which can be
perfected in a single year—-every gar
den worth the having is the out-
frrowth 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 its 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
Robsart. There is another ivy vine
sprawling over the brick wall which
she calls Windsor, as it came from
Windsor Castle.
There is a bed of 'tulips named for
the little Dutch Princess Juliana.
These flowers 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 comes from the wine region of the
Houth of France. This vine nearly re
fused to live in the climate of its
now home, but after much coaxing
und care it sent forth roots and is
now hardy and strong.
0*. bright spot of color in the garden
is mad; by Hall Caine, a huge fuchsia
bu&L XI came tom tf UHlQ
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 the 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 rose, 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 would 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
motoring—she brings home a 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
Wormwood 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 yo’« possibly
can.
When the music stops Hear to the
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 dansantes, but only at those
where you have to be so smart-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 l had mounted twenty-four
flights in the Hotel McAlpin, my sec
ond stopping place, yesterday after
noon in my tour of the Turkey
Rbosts.
Asks the Merry Widow.
Here I was informed that many of
your nicest 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 here 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," and if any
of them were seen moving their
shoulders they were swiftly ushered
from the ball-tea-room. 1 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’*, but I found I was half an
hour before kicklng-off tiiri-. How
ever, there were already anaemic,
sleek-haired young men sitting in
rows sucking their thumbs waiting
tfor the doors to open. Naughty lads!
Then I went to Bustanobv’s. Well.
Bustanoby, you certainly have a very
smart man on the door, f like his
white breeches and his well-shaped
calves—they remind me so much of
home This young man told me 1
could not be admitted without a lady,
but my American friend slipped me
in and 1 was placed at a table in the
balcony, one table away from • tall
brunette, who to my way of thinking
was not so dusty.
On the floor below the- St. Vitus 1
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
howking turnips. But he’s not the
only grandfather who finds Busta
noby ’s a good place to sip the elixir
of youth from a c hampagne 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 I
see around you it will save you money
in the -end.
"Waiter, 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 ever 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 Reisenweber’s. Clickety-cliek-
click-click. %
"Lor’ love a duck, how much do
you say, taxi driver? Four shillings
and eightpence? Surely you mean
eightpence 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 like to have dotted him one
on the snitch. 1 think he took me
for it bit of noodle. No more taxis
for me while I’m in New York.
What a change I find here at Reis-
enweber’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 I don’t think he would if he
could.
She Loses 30 Pounds.
There was one woman who wrig
gled more energetically than any of
the others. I was told she had lost
thirty pounds in a month, and I
thought if she kept on pegging at it
for . a couple of years she might be
come normal.
Who are those two who look like
two cats on hot bricks? Oh. that’s
a special step and consists of dislo
cating both knee joints, spraining the
left ankle 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
the worst) I’ve seen 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
around the floor like a couple of
lamplighters, and 1 had to shout for a
strong drop of my Hieland mountain
dew Still, I think I deserved it be
cause the whole afternoon gave me
a bad fit of the malauneys.
What got on my nerves were the
young men. and worse still, the old
who instead of beipg out in the coun-
try playing gowf or some other
healthly game. pref< t to go to these
tea parties and be \\ hat we call at

G.B.S.
on the Love Affairs
of the Married
W henever Bernard Shaw hurls his bolts of satire at “re
spectabilityconvention is set on its Head and mock
modesty and false morality blushathis daring. But
thetruth 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 moat 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 sm a red-
blooded man, Mrs. Lum>; 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.”
“I 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 afteryear 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.

(l
While Fund for Great Memorial Is Increasing, Commander of Spanish
War Veterans Here Issues Another Appeal.
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 hafhdsome Maine Me
morial Monument which has been
erected at the entrance to Central
Park in the metropolis.
The evidence was in the form of
< hecks for subscriptions toward the
$183,000 that the monument cost.
George 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
Ip toward paying the expenses of
h
the monument.
The monument has been erected by
public subscription, nation-wide in
seppe. 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
hot 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
worthy of contributions from every
one."
Appeals to Veterans.
To members of his camp and to the
public Commander Watson has ad
dressed a formal appeal for eontribu-
offieers of the Spanish War Veterans
and the local appeal of Commander
Watson have gone out.
D. A. R. Aids the Fund.
Dispatches that caine 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 bet-n
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 (’amp. No. 1,

to be forwarded to the Maine Memo
rial Committee, New’ York City. Or

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
