The Shrine Club members, or at least 

 those of them who are famed in the 

 world of flowers, gave a luncheon in 

 honor of Walter Davis. The idea orig- 

 inated with Elmer W. Gaehring, who 

 asked a few of the florists, who are Mr. 

 Davis's clients so to speak, whether 

 they would join with him in the pres- 

 entation of a trifling tribute of regard. 

 They cheerfully agreed and Mr. Gaeh- 

 ring selected a thirty-second degree 

 conaistory ring, set with a beautiful 

 white stone. Mr. Davis was completely 

 taken by surprise and when Charles H. 

 Grakelow presented the ring with a 

 complimentary speech made on behalf 

 of a few Masonic friends, Mr. Davis 

 was greatly moved. The party con- 

 sisted of Boss Davis, brother of the 

 guest of honor, the noted fire marshal 

 and the only person present who was 

 not a florist; Fred Cramer, Harry C. 

 Eisele, Ralph E. Faust, John C. Gracey, 

 Elmer W. Gaehring, Charles H. Grake- 

 low, Alvah R. Jones, Charles W. Moody, 

 Joseph G. Neidinger, Louis Mien and 

 Victor I. Ridenour. 



Another Party. 



Monday evening, June 13, Charles H. 

 Grakelow entertained some fifty of his 

 masculine friends from the wholesale 

 cut flower commission and florists' sup- 

 ply houses at his home, at Broad and 

 Cumberland streets. There was vaude- 

 ville entertainment given by some of

The Fragrance of the Beauty. 



At the alumni meeting of the Univer- 

 sity of Pennsylvania, held June 10, the 

 three leading speakers were students 

 from China, Japan and the Philippines. 

 All three were sent by their govern- 

 ments to learn our language and cus- 

 toms. The Chinese student, who has 

 had two years at Yale and now holds 

 the Harrison scholarship, told a story 

 of a student at Yale, a fellow country- 

 man; it was intended to show the diffi- 

 culty in mastering our language. This 

 Chinese student called on a young lady, 

 to whom he presented a bunch of Amer- 



ican Beauty roses, with these words: 

 "These American Beauty roses are 

 beautiful as you are; they smell sweet 

 as you smell; they will fade, but you ■ 

 will smell always." 



Peace Day. 



A southern publication has sent let- 

 ters to the leading florists of this city 

 asking them to support the idea of mak- 

 ing November 11 another great flower 

 day, to be called International Flower 

 day. Edward Eeid suggests that it 

 might be well to make the name Peace 

 day, as more likely to touch popular 

 fancy. Mr. Eeid heartily commends the 

 idea, believing that it will be an excel- 

 lent one, both from an idealistic and 

 from a business standpoint.
