WASHINGTON. D. C. 



A cafeteria has been installed at 

 tlie store of the American Florist 

 Company, conducted at Fourteenth 

 and I streets, northwest, by Misb 

 Julia Ballenger. The new venture is 

 doing well, and the connection of 

 flowers and luncheon seems to be a 

 happy one. 



Andrew G. Bisset, son of Peter Bis- 

 set, of the Department of Agriculture, 

 has been appointed a senior lieuten- 

 ant in the Navy, and has been sta- 

 tioned at New London, Conn. J. H. 

 Small, Jr., has graduated from the 

 artillery school at Louisville. Ky.. and 

 has been commissioned a second lieu- 

 tenant in the field artillery. He is to 

 be stationed at Camp Jackson. Colum- 

 bia. S. C. Lieutenant Small, who is 

 a graduate of Cornell University, re- 

 signed his position in the Department 

 of Buildings and Grounds, where he 

 was in charge of landscape \vork, and 

 joined the Cornell squad at the Camp 

 Meade officers' training camp. 



The September meeting of the Flor- 

 ists' Club of Washington was held re- 

 cently in the shape of a watermelon 

 and corn feast tendered the members 

 by Edward S. Schmidt. It has been 

 Mr. Schmid's custom for many years 

 to tender the florists a crab feast, but 

 owing to the shortage of the most 

 necessary ingredient — the succulent 

 Crab — the banquet this year consist- 

 ed of hot corn and watermelons. A 

 immber of other good things were 

 provided, among them music by the 

 Kallipolis Grotto band of thirty 

 pieces, and motion pictures furnished 

 by Sidney B. Lust of the Super-Films 

 Attractions Company, Inc. Congress- 

 man Johnson, of Washington, spoke 

 upon Washington and had a number 

 of good stories to tell about the host 

 of the evening. Sergeant Groom, of 

 Camp Meigs, described the landscape 

 work which had so changed the bar- 

 ren grounds which formed the site of 

 the camp, and Frank W. Bolgiano de- 

 livered an instructive and entertain- 

 ing little talk on the qualities of suc- 

 cess.
