.April progiams: While· jve were sittiag · at our tables watching the spectators pass and selling programs to those who had not already bought them, the powers that be descended suddenly upon us in an excited state and told us that our 'prize bouquet must be removed at once, as the euphorbia had dried up. We mu3t place -some other flowers th~re at once or else have no shadow bOx . exhibit. Euphorbia at tllis season is very difficult t9 obtain, and ,this had been placed . there only Wednesday. Even dried up, it looked wonderful But it could not be left there until our artists who bad created the picture could coine doW.. town. It must be replaced at once. We could use some Sowers that were in another room. We gasped and "went to it." For under no circumstances were we going to lose our red ribbon. So those of you who saw our bouquet in the hours before Mrs. Coburn and Mrs. Huff could arrive in town with more euphorbia must understand that what you saw was a labor .of love and a matter of necessity, if not a thing of beauty. It was only there to hold the fort. . Sunday afternoon eight of us donned light green smocks and stood about with others from other garden club's, similarly attired, to serve tea to all who canu: into our garden. This was pleasant work· under a charming chairman, Mrs. William H. Colvin, who had given us a party on Thursday at her home. Quite a few Wilmette people came in to see us during the afternoon. 6. 1928 c:Overed the place. Our long table was arranged in a U shape and was decorted with deep pink carnations and fine fem~. The dr:apes at the windows were wine color and ,gave a soft, warm tone to the room. On leaving the luncheon each one received a flower, and all afternoon we recognized Wilmette groups approaching by the carnations they wore. Friday was not quite so pleasant. We .were on the committee that sold To Broadcast Aftemoon Muaic Hour Over WMAQ Fay Palmer Kreer of Winnetka, assisted by Dorothy Riley Brown of Kenilworth, sang a miscellaneous program at the Evanston Drama league meeting Thursday afternoon at the Evanston Woman's club. On Friday afternoon she sang at the studio in the Fine Arts building, for the Chicago Federation of Woman's clubs. She was assisted in this program, also, by Mrs. Brown. From 2 to 3 o'clock every afternoon next week, Mrs. Kreer and Mrs. Brown will give a program at Lyon and Healy hall These programs will be broadcast over WMAQ. One unique feature of the week's series will be a group of duets arranged by Mrs. Brown and sung by both. These are old folk tunes from Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and England, and are sung in the language of their country. That acreage which almost fulfil~s the amount designated in the original forest plan has been acquired by Look county was the statement of. Gen. ' Abel Davis in his talk on the "Modern City" Friday evening before the , as~ ciate alumnae of Nor~hwestern umversity, the~r husbands an~ friends, at a dinner g1ven at Le Petit G'?u~met, Chicago, by the Alumnae association. By a mal) of the Cook county pre- · serve, Gen. Davi.s ~bowed ~hat there is now almost ·a contmuous bne of forest land from the Wisconsin to the Indiana line The greater part of this preser~e follows the De.; Plaines river. Recent plans call for the damming of the stream so as to create artificial lakes suitable for boating and other recreational purposes for the people who live to the west of the Des Plaines, as there are no other pleasure ,grounds in that district. The original plan of making automobile roads throughout the preserve has given way to one for leaving a part of the forest inaccessible excepting by quiet little foot paths, and in land which will be left in its natural state, wild plant and animal life may exist. In a spirit of working for the common good, commissioners of Cook county are being assisted at the state boundaries by co-operation of officials of Wi'3consin and Indiana. The latter state is working with Dlinois for the preservation of the duneland, General Davis announced. General Davis is a member of the Forest preserve advisory committee. Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Moody, 1235 Ashland avenue, have returned from a trip to Cuba and Florida. Their son, Joe, a student at Washington and J effer"3on college, is home for his Easter vacation. Recendy,a number of people were asked the price of a PierCeArrow. Forty-two per cent said, "Over -SOOO." Perhaps this same false notion is depriving you of PierceArrow ownership-a much-coveted joy that is really within easy reach.
