Two most unusual illustrated lectures were given by Miss 
Mary Rutherford Jay in December at the Cosmopolitan Club, 
New York. The slides have just been made from photographs, 
either taken by her personally or by her friends as they travelled 
through out-of-the-way districts in Italy and Spain, and a few 
from choice postal cards collected en route. 
The first lecture was on English gardens, and the second on 
Italian, French and Spanish gardens, both lectures giving the 
relation of these old-world masterpieces to our own American 
gardens. 
Miss Jay was in France during the war, engaged in intensive 
farming for the Army, and the second lecture has many 
amusing personal snapshots of the A. E. F. with a garden 
background.
