March 1, 1929 WILMETTE tion. A policeman stands near in "~till life" and openly disapproves of the care!ess person who has left her beads m reach of .any hand. He is on guard before the beads. The conservation , posters were interesting. Many of the names are stilt in the envelopes, and I have only 5Cen two posters that hear a familiar name These are tlw clever exhihits of th~ Evening Garden club of Wilmette. The garden clubs have done careful and pleasing work. But it is among the commercial exhibits that one finds the most artistic piece of work . of the whole show.

The entries are all good, but those that are unique as well as good wear ribbons. This is true of the old classes and the new. Among the ne\v classes, the windowbox exhibit has proved an ingenious feature which requires not only a gardener's skill but an interior decOI·ator's as well. There is a fair sized background ·to look after, a window to curtain, something to place beyond the window that will intrigue the eye, side walls to decorate and a ground space below. Even furniture and rugs have been used in some of these enclosure'.;. One that received a blue rihhon has an effect of brilliant coloring achieved by a gay awning and a Spanish setting; the box itself contains only plants. One entry has curtains edged with black lace ruffles. Rare flowers distinguish another window. Mrs. Stinson has the colors in her glazed chintz shades repreated in the primrose in her box. · In its "little gardens," Wilmette has an old-fashioned arched gateway of stone and wood, through which one looks out to the sea. A ship's lantern h~ngs there, whose light the sailor might have seen in olden days, far out on the w;:tter as he came toward '.shore. Glen Ellyn has a bird scene, birds in a natural arrangement of shrubbery w~ere, among the dried leaves o·f wmter, is a trillium or two. I thought there was no lovelier table at the Flower show that the one arranged by Mrs. Kean and Mrs. Baker. The flowers used were blue lupine, pink roses, a few yellow flowers, a few white, and these were arranged with great skill. The old-fashioned flowers painted on the center of the plates had the same coloring and the same effect. Another table that everyone liked was desigr1ed for a spring bridal luncheon, white flowers being used, lilies of the valley, freesia, and jasmine. Among the shadow boxes, our club's arrangement of gold calendulas in an old pottery jar has honorable men- only 85¢ down $1 Per Month "UT'I'LE BY UT'I'LB" (JJ'idaouc Ccarryin1 Cltar1e) SPECIAL COMBINATION OFFERS at PUBLIC SERVICE STORES Toaster and Percolator Fe delcoToaster,Manning&..Bowman Percolator- Regular value $15.2S.
