Caparn, landscape architect of the Botanic Garden who made the plans or the Rose Garden. It was largely owing to Mr.

V-ng that the area now comprising the Botanic Garden was saved during his dministra-tion from being by bindings. At that time the Botanic Garden, which was first laid out as Institute Park, was thrown open and there was a public celebration. During Mr. Young's administration as Park Commissioner, the beautiful archway at the Lincoln Road entrance to Pr ospect Park and the Greek pergola in tne Park situated at the approach to the parade grounds were designed and members of your tamily or guests, otherwise unescorted and you can have absolute confidence regarding their "His face was lined with anxiety.

Katherine Newton in Paltry A HURRY CALL FOR SUMMER DECORATIONS Most of our readers have already arranged for summer decorations in their homes and apartments. Those who have neglected this will want to attend to it in a hurry. There is no better way to secure an atmosphere of cool comfort than to call in Virginia Hart and Catherine Howard, whose shop at 31 Clinton Street may be reached conveniently in person or by phone to Main 1166. Summer is a time when we enjoy most having things done for us. Letting Mrs.

Hart and Miss Howard attend to the warm weather arrangements is one of tne pleasant ways of lolling in indolence while the house is being made to look its best. The rigors of planning are a thing of the past, and in their place comes the expectation of surprise that is the reward of unusual work well done. Just at present the front room in the second storey of 31 Clinton Street offers a chance to see some wall coverings that can reduce the temperature a few degrees in July and August. Hand-painted panels of wall paper, intended for the home of Mrs. Hart herself, may still be on exhibition for a day or two.

Then there is some toile printing, black lines on a light background, which will look especially well in some man's room. Whatever your needs, it will be to your advantage to consult Virginia Hart and Catherine Howard.

Tapestry brick with limestone trimmings will be used in its construction. According to Dr. Gager, Mr.

Young, who in addition to being a former Brooklyn Congressman was Commissioner of Parks for Brooklyn and Queens during the administration of Mayor Low, saw the designs of the four entrance gates on a visit to the Botanic Garden and offered to funds for the construction of one of them. It is the policy of the Botanic Garden to have designs for improvements always ready for possible use. The practicality of these designs was demonstrated last year by the presentation of the Rose Garden by Mr. and Mrs. Walter V.

Cranford, who had seen a drawing of the proposed rose garden in Dr. Gager's annual report. Other needs of the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, which are merely awaiting the kindness of Brooklyn residents, are the other three gates to the Garden, located at the north Washington Avenue, the south BROOKLYN BOTANIC GARDEN TO HAVE NEW GATE Construction of the south Flatbush Avenue entrance gate to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, made possible by the gift of Richard Young, will start within a week, according to an announcement made recently by Dr. C. Stuart Gager, director of the Garden.

The gate which is the first to be erected in the original plan of four and which will cost $17,000, is after the design of McKim, Mead and White, architects of the main laboratory building, at the Botanic Garden. -For a number of years the south Flat-bush Avenue entrance to the Botanic Garden near Empire Boulevard, has been the least attractive approach to the Garden although one of the most used, Dr. Gager explained, so that the gift of a gate for this particular entrance is very timely and especially appreciated by the authorities of the Garden. In its architecture the gate is Italian Renaissance and will have a large center arch with two side openings. Being twenty feet high, twenty-three feet across and six feet nine inches deep, the entrance will serve as a shelter as well, Dr.

Gager said. She: Will you take me to my party He: I'm sorry but I'm taking another party to another party. Wisconsin "I'm wondering what would happen if it were possible for a man unconsciously to record each and everything he says during the day, and at night, when all alone, have the record of his angry words, his pleasant sayings, his grouchy cracks, and his genial comments all reeled off to him in their infuriated inflections or kindly tones.
