a rut and from just letting well enough 

 alone. Indeed, I have seen a store win- 

 dow fixed up and left till the spiders 

 wove their webs on the plants. The 

 florist who has not plenty of outdoor 

 stock is often at his wit 's end to keep 

 the store fresh and attractive without 

 spending too much money, and to give 

 it the appearance that one is doing 

 business, even if most of the patrons 

 are out of town. 



This was recalled to my mind vividly 

 a short time ago by a church Children 's 

 daj'" decoration. Like most churches, 

 this one did not have much money to 

 spend for flowers, but it did have a 

 flower committee that was ready to go 

 ahead and make the little the committee 

 members had go as far as possible. The 

 writer, as he looked upon the finished 

 decoration Sunday morning^ realized 

 that there was a job of decorating that 

 had cost $5 and that $40 or $50 might 

 liave been paid for one not so attractive 

 as this. 



A Tip from a Church. 



Xow, this column is to help those in 

 tlie trade. The writer remembers many 

 makcsliifts just like this Children's 

 day decoration that have made a hit 

 with tlie people who know real floral 

 decorating. I am going to describe 

 this decoration, as it may be a hint that 

 will help some fellow who is at his 

 wit's end this summer and is disgusted 

 with the store; is doing no business; is 

 grouchy and does not know what is 

 wrong with him. It is then that the 

 work, for that is all it will take, will do 

 him good. Every store must have a 

 little stock each day and the thing is to 

 have that little arranged to the best 

 advantage. Here is where that church 

 decoration conies in. 



The basis of the whole thing came 

 from the woods. In these days of au- 

 tomobiles, anyone can run out into the 

 country and cut a good armful of scrub 

 oak foliage. Take your time and pick 

 out good, full branches, and be sure to 

 get plenty of the pin variety. You will
