as a dancing party, at the Hotel Sher- 

 man. The committee consists of W. J. 

 Keiniel, Ed. Enders, Jffseph Einweck 

 and G. W. French. 



R. G. Kootz, who had charge of the 

 Marshall Field florists' department 

 during its few weeks of existence, has 

 gone to Cincinnati, where he has en- 

 tered the employment of the Hill Floral 

 Co. He is interested in a store at 121 

 North Dearborn street, opened on a 

 month to month lease. 



A box of cigars went the rounds of 

 the A. L. Randall store December 7, 

 on the return of Casimir Guza from his 

 wedding trip. His bride was Miss Jen- 

 nette Yagla. It was a church cere- 

 mony, performed Thanksgiving eve, and 

 J. A. Mendel put up a pretty decoration 

 for it. Mr. Guza has charge of the 

 Beauties and orchids in the Randall 

 cut flower department and has a large 

 circle of friends who will offer con- 

 gratulations. 



Carl Thomas, who is a good fore- 

 caster, says it is a mistake to take it 

 for granted carnations will always be 

 as plentiful as in the last couple of 

 months. He thinks the reduction in 

 supply in the last week may be the 

 start of the other swing of the pendu- 

 lum. A plant gives only about so 

 many flowers per season. 



George Asnius is reducing. A diet 

 that has taken off fifteen pounds of 

 weight also has done wonders with the 

 rheumatism from which he has suflfered 

 for several winters. 



N. .J. Wietor, home from an outing 

 at Clifton, ill., is nursing a bad cold 

 preparatory to tackling the Christmas 

 rush. 



The quarterly meeting of the direc 

 tors of the Chicago Flower Growers' 

 Association was held at the office on 

 Michigan avenue December 8. The 

 board consists of: President, Edward 

 Meuret; vice-president and treasurer. 

 Charles McCauley; secretary, George C. 

 Weiland; directors, Rudolph Ellsworth, 

 D. Schreiber, .Joseph Schoos, Fred 

 Stielow and Frank Schramm. The lat 

 ter received many expressions of sym 

 pathy on the death of his father, Franz 

 Schramm, who was a shipper to th-^ 

 association but not an officer in it. 

 The meeting marked the completion 

 of Paul 'R. Klingsporn's first year as 

 manager for the association and his 

 work was highly complimented by the 

 board, the showing being considered 

 especially good in view of the general 

 business conditions that have prevailed 

 during the last four months. 



Hal Kennicott, son of the late Flint 

 Kennicott, may now be found each day 

 in the office of Kennicott Bros. Co. 

 His home is on an orange grove near 

 Tampa, Fla.. where a crop is just being
