LONDON, ONT. 



The West Floral Co., to celebrate a 

 successful season, January 9 entertained 

 the staff at a theater party, followed by 

 dinner at Wong's, where covers were 

 laid for twelve. A pleasant evening 

 was spent. The outstanding feature 

 was the song rendered by Miss Wynny- 

 fred Colbert, who sang "Say It with 

 Flowers" most artistically. "^ The sou- 

 venirs were all appropriately chosen, 

 and each was accompanied by a clever 

 bit of verse, which was thoroughly ap- 

 preciated. E. B. Hamilton, the manager, 

 took advantage of the opportunity to 

 extend to the members of the staff, on 

 behalf of the company, hearty thanks 

 for their cheerful and enthusiastic co- 

 operation during the Christmas rush, 

 which was unprecedentedly heavy.
