The Florists' Review 



Mat 4, 1918. 



LANCASTER, PA. 



Thursday evening, April 27, the Lan- 

 caster County Florists' Club held its 

 annual ladies' night in the Brenneman 

 hall. There were upwards of fifty in 

 attendance. The whole affair was of the 

 nature of a jubilee after the strenuous 

 Easter season. The committee in charge 

 consisted of A. M. Herr, L. Landis, E. 

 J. Weaver, Frank L. Kohr and Eudolph 

 Nagel, to whom the members are in- 

 debted for the successful arrangements 

 of the evening. 



The retail stores furnished the decora- 

 tions, which were quite elaborate. Beau- 

 tiful corsages of orchid peas were pre- 

 sented to the ladies. 



After the dinner bowling teams were 

 organized, and progressive "500" was 

 indulged in. Others enjoyed billiards 

 and still others just sat around and 

 chatted with friends. 



In bowling the high score prize for 

 ladies was awarded to Mrs. Ella Leh- 

 man. Our genial friend, Dennis Con- 

 nor, carried off the honors in the men's 

 class. Other prizes in bowling were 

 awarded to Charles H. Tucker and Mrs. 

 "B. F. Barr. The prize-winners in * * 500 ' ' 

 were Mr. and Mrs. Willis B. Girvin, 

 David Eose and Mrs. Albert M. Hen*.
