By A not for and JEAN TEN BROECK January thaw a month late does make the time seem inopportune one's thoughts to turn to flmver garden. Bright hued blooms in living arrange. ment as pictures, flowe.rs combined with rare and exquisite napery and china on tables for formal dinner and garden tea arc absorbing the interest of many women along the north shore . who arc deYotrd to work in ga,r den clubs. Competi ion wilt trv their artistic metal cluri1·~ the week of March 7 to 12 inclusive in the garden club exhibit of th r (. "ica~o Garden and Flower show to h .· held in the Hotel Sherman . The names of most of the local garden clubs participatin~ in the display already have been announced , with those of their representatives, but this week come the names of those who will have char~e of the exhibits from each dub. The committee working with Mrs. B. L. Davis, who represents the Wilmette Garden dub, consists of the club's president, Mrs. Walter Go.re Mitchell, Mrs. C. D. Ewer, and Mrs. Char!es Hurlbut. Mrs. S. D. Flood is representative of the Kenilworth Garden club. Mrs. Ma.rk Cresap and Mrs. C. G. Littell will arrange t!.e formal dinner table . in the club's di3play. Mrs. E. G.

Arthur Brintnall, \'Vith her committee wm direct the setting of a tea table: and Mrs. Carl Miner, with the assistance of a committee, will arrange ·a rock ~ardtn. One infers a little of the extent of the entire show when one reads that the garden clubs in and around Chicago will be allowed an entire floor for their exhibits alone. One of the charming . scenes of the show will be provided in the old fashioned garden, the display of the South Park system. An announcement concerning this particular feature we quote in part: "For more than half a centur~· the South Park system of Chicago has been famous in the world of floriculture for its wonderful displays of old fashioned flowers. So· it is only na-tural that the South Park 's ystem has chosen a grandmother's garden for its exhibit at the Chicago Garden and Flower show. "From the crocus, the snow-drop, harbingers of spring, to asters and marigolds that blaze in defiance of winter, marching bravely along from earliest spring until latest fall, the old fashioned garden provides an endless succession of bouquets for the house. All it asks is a bit of water occasion · ally!' To celebrate the thirty -second anniversary of the founding of the club, The Neighbors had a birthday party Fehruarv 15, in the form of a luncheon. An unu sual number responded to the invitation, and many messages were .r ead from those unable to attend. Unfortunately none of the charter members were pre se nt, but a delightful greeting came from one of them, a former president. Mrs. Charles Ware. Representatives of nea.rly every year we.re present. Candles for each year were on the tables and were formally lighted by a guest representing the year marked on the taper. It was an interesting ceremony which seemed to link tog et he.r members of yesteryear with those of today. · Especially interesting were the messages from the former pre sidents, several of whom told of Kenilworth as it was twenty or thirty years ago. Miss Estelle Farley, daughter of the presiclen t, and at pre . en t the only junior member of the club. recited a poem she had \nittcn. entitled "Talent." Then followecl the singing of the cluh song by The Neighbors. Mrs. Miss M acigold · Langworthy .. Ernest H.
