 roses were carried by the matron of 

 lienor and bridesmaids. The bridal

 table centerpiece being formed of pink

 ered lattice.

The July meeting of the Florists' 

 Club has been postponed from July 4

 outing committee, will render a full re-

 Great Falls on July 19. 



Mrs. M. J. McCabe, who is associated 

 with her husband in the florist business 

 in Anacostia, D. C, and who is in 

 charge of their retail stand in the Cen- 

 ter Market, has gone to Miami. Fla. 

 Mrs. McCabe has not been in very good 

 health, and her doctor has ordered a 

 change of scene. 



The blue laws which have long re- 

 posed on the statute books of Virginia 

 are being rigidly enforced. Under the 

 laws all unnecessary work on Sundays 

 is prohibited. This means that deliv- 

 eries of flowers cannot be made by flor- 

 ists here or in the state named without 

 liability to arrest for violations. 



William F. Gude was decidedly in the 

 limelight last week when, with Presi- 

 dent Wilson, he was one of the central 

 figures in the Preparedness Parade 

 which caused the turning out of fiO.OOO 

 people. It was a great day for Wash- 

 ington and in lis honor all work was 

 stopped. The florists closed their es- 



Fl-s^g Day Parade Ju-ne 14, Washington, D. C. 



tablishments and only did that which 

 would not hold over until the next day. 

 There were more than two hundred in 

 the company which carried the pen- 

 nants of the Florists' Club of Wash- 

 ington, D. C. Each parader carried a 

 flag and, in addition, each florist car- 

 ried an American Beauty rose. The 

 pennants were decorated with flowers. 

 The committee had but a short time in 

 which to get the florists together, but 

 the representation was a good one and 

 all who participated were well pleased.

 short time. 



Henry M. Robinson, Charles Robin- 

 son and William Penn were the guests 

 of M. C. Lincoln over the holiday at 

 the latter's Laconia, N. H., residence. 

 Ostensibly, the party went to fish, but 

 the results were far from satisfactory, 

 both Id those concerned and those who 

 must listen to their reminiscent tale 

 of woe.
