With the business of the evening in- 

 terspersed between selections by Crea- 

 tore's famous band, like a stack of 

 wheatcakes and maple syrup, the Chi- 

 cago Florists ' Club held a most pleasant

 guests of O. J. Friedman, a club mem- 

 ber who is part owner of the park.

 of the club 's participation with the 

 Horticultural Society in entertaining 

 the Chrysanthemum Society of America 

 in November and a donation of $100 

 was made to the premium list. Also,

 committee for stocking a buffet car for
