Architect- The annual exhibition of the Architectural League in New 
URAii York, was held in the Fine Arts Building in West 57th Street, 
League in February. This season the items of especial interest to us 
Exhibit were not as pronounced as they were last year in that special 
room reserved for the Landscape Architects. However, some of 
the models of houses and grounds were absorbing and the views 
of the dignified new home of our well-beloved Secretary by 
Delano and Aldrich. supplied a few pleasant thrills for Garden 
Club of America Members. 
Miss Mary Jay (Orange and Duchess Club) exhibited views 
of the Japanese Garden at the Wickersham place at Cedarhurst. 
Mrs. E. H. Jewett (Easthampton Club) exhibited a charming 
Bird-bath, which stands about three feet high and which is most 
suitable for a medium sized garden. She has conceived a most 
original idea. Two conventionalized storks or herons are standing 
back to back supporting the oval basin on their outstretched 
beaks, while they endeavor to swallow a hapless frog which is 
escaping to safety over the basin's rim. It is graceful, amusing 
and charmingly proportioned and shallow enough to suit any 
Audubonite. 
For those of us who hope to attend the June meeting in 
Cleveland the photographs of Mr. Warren Bieknell's terrace 
gardens by Olmstead Brothers, are particularly interesting. 
Vitale, Brinkerkoff and Geiffert showed most fascinating 
views of the Myron C. Taylor place at Locust Valley, L. I. The 
management of the stucco wall which separates and yet unites 
the garden and woodland, calls for unstinted praise. 
Miss Ruth Dean had a number of good garden pictures of 
interest. Her conception of a livable, lovable old-fashioned 
garden, which she has carried out at the Gales place at Great 
Neck, L. I., is just the kind of a garden that most of us want 
for our very own. 
A pool in a "blue and gold garden" at Kenosha, Wisconsin, 
by 0. K. Simonds of Chicago, was practical and striking. 
Among the many water-colors and pastels and oils of flowers 
tortured out of all semblance of reality for "Decorative" pur- 
poses it was a pleasure and relief to come across Miss Maud 
Mason's two large convincing paintings of mixed flowers. The 
Delphinium in the one called "A Decoration" was coveted by 
many of our members and we welcome Miss Mason into the 
sisterhood of those who understand. 
Bulletin At a recent meeting of the Directors of the Garden Club 
of America, it was 
VOTED: That in the future extra copies of the Bulletin, 
to take the place of those lost in the mail, be sent out from the 
Secretarial Office rather than by the Club Secretaries.
