FLORISTS' CLUB OF WASHINGTON. 



The December meeting of the Flor- 

 ists' Club of Washington, held on 

 Tuesday evening last, proved to be 

 one of the most interesting of the 

 season. It being the last meeting of 

 the year, the members did not seem 

 to be inclined to go very deeply into 

 business, rather looking forward to 

 the chats to be had with one another 

 after the adjournment. After the 

 usual routine business, the member- 

 ship committee reported favorably on 

 the application of E. J. Reynolds, who 

 was duly elected to membership. He 

 is one of the new arrivals in the city, 

 having but recently come here from 

 the Pacific Coast. 



Considerable discussion greeted the 

 motion made looking to the appoint- 

 ment of a committee to see that some 

 sort of entertainment be provided for 

 each meeting night, those present be- 

 ing unanimously of the opinion that 

 something should happen every month. 

 The committee, Messrs. Hammer, 

 Bauer, and Oehmler, have already got- 

 ten together and have planned a se- 

 ries of lectures and ladies' nights. 

 Immediately following adjournment, 

 the members proceeded to the grotto 

 where a buffet luncheon was awaiting 

 them. 



The meeting was well attended and 

 President Mayberry states that he is 

 in hopes the meetings of the coming 

 year will be as successful.
