From, emii of these four straight rows of english dwnrf box run to the frotit of the house where the rows are closed by four pieces of the larger Sempcrrietis boxwood. Petween the two Inside rows an old brick walk leads from oval to house. This quadruple row of english dwarf box Is unique, being known only In foreign gardens. The original brick wulk goes around the left side of the house where there stands a magnificent white oak, one of the largest In the stute, tifteen feet In circumference. The foundation planting of the house Is rhododendron and the base of the arbor vitae hedge on the south side of the garden Is Ciled In with ihe same shrub. This planting was at one time in boxwood. The arbor vitae hedges on the north and south sides of the garden were probably planted by some one who was Impatient of the growth of the boxwood. This and the vicissitudes of time no doubt account for the fact that the entire garden Is not mov entirety enclosed In a solid hedge of boxwood an It was originally. This Independence day celebration nt Is the climax of Ihe centennial celebration In honor of Monroe which has been arranged by the Memorial commission previously referred he was planning during the years when he was minister to Prance.

One Imagines Monroe turning back at this spot for a last look at his beloved borne before riding to Washington to take the oath of ollice; a last look at the great pine trtss which dominates the estate. Prom the mounting block, the white pillars of the house are almost obscured by the great box trees, almost It) feet tall, which form the entrance to the garden. These two clumps are faced by two similar ones at the opposite siibs of an oval formed by 1'nglish dwarf box. Prom this oval opens the walk. Hanked by double rows of box, leading to the doorway. The garden, planned while Monroe was In Prance, Mioivg decidedly the French Influence. When It is remembered that this type of boxwood under the most favorable conditions only about half an Inch a year, the sire and beauty of the trees which were the pride of Ash Lawn's original owner Is all the more impressive.

One night all the olllcers, and as many enlisted men as could afford to leave their dice game, attended the regular ship's concert, resumed after the war. The British custom of collecting money for the Home for the Widows and Orphans of British Seamen was adhered to. Gypsy Smith was master of ceremonies. "This Widows and Orphans Home," the evangelist explained simply to his huge audience of gold braids and enlisted men, "depends entirely on donations such as yours Your generosity for Its support. will be appreciated, deep In the He hearts of those you help." paused for contributions. After some minutes of silence. And once more Smith tried again. none of the thirty-twgenerals, none of their stuffs, not a doughboy or sailor, contributed to the fund. Smith flushed, but his poise remained. "Of the evangelist course," drawled In his very Kngiish accent, "I cawn't beg you, you know. So I'U Just say tjoodliy." The evangelist turned toward the exit But before be reached U a doughhoy sprang from his seat, A great roll of real American money was clenched In his grimy hand. He glanced scornfully at the generals and the remainder of the audience. "Herea somethln' to start the ball rolling." piped the "buck." And he tossed $oK) carelessly to the floor of the stage.

Instead, the plump, genial little man whom many American soldiers met, sat smilingly and even Joyfully as German olllcers who were billeted In St Mihlel scurried for cover. They were welcome missiles, these allied shells, to the little priest. He broke his four-yeahabit of scorning the dangers of shell fire only when the city was delivered and the Germans who had withdrawn sent back their planes to bomb the houses. Many stories arc related of the cure's conduct during the trying four years. In his study he maintained a collection of shell and shell fragments which had barely missed him.
