A NEW FLORAL DESIGN. 



Tlio plcturo used Qs a (over Il- 

 lustration tliia week shows a new 

 "Gates Ajar" device for florists' use 

 on which Reed & Keller of New 

 York City have a|ipllc<l for a patent. 

 It is believed that (his dcsiKM will su- 

 persede the lonK-used, well-known wire 

 Kales ajar. It is made of willow 

 ba^^kct work, and has attachmentB to 

 hold flowers in water. When filled it 

 presents a most beautiful appearance, 

 and combined with that. Is Its simplic- 

 ity in construction, enabling tlie flori- 

 ist. with considerably less flowers than 

 formerly used, to easily make a much 

 handsomer floral piece than with the 

 old fashioned wire frame. Tlie floral 

 work on the piece illustrated was done 

 l)y Wni. Hanft, well-known decorator 

 for YounK & Nugent.

Webster, Mass.— "Morris Hunt Slat- 

 er I'ark. ' the gift of Mrs. Mabel Hunt 

 Slater to the town of Webster, a deed 

 for which has been formally turned 

 over to the selectmen, was offlcially 

 oiiened on Thursday night, wlien a 

 band concert was given. Tlie proper- 

 ty known for years as the Knolls, and 

 the home of the Slaters for years, con- 

 sists of twelve acres, and the fine 

 house and otlier buildings are now the 

 property of W'ebster, to be used in any 

 way the town sees fit. Originally giv- 

 en by Mrs. Slater as a boys' club, the 

 gift has been broadened to Include all 

 the people of the town, to be used in 

 any manner that the town sees fit. 

 Following the gift to the selectmen, 

 acting for the town, it has been turned 

 over to the park commissioners, and 

 this body will look after it. 



The following report, just received, 

 shows the steady, healthy growth of
