thing, especially pink of the shades of 

 Maryland rose and Winsor and Mrs. 

 Ward carnations. They can be used 

 with other things, he said, but rarely 

 alone to get the most artistic effects. 

 He also criticised the salesman who 

 cannot sell anything and can only give 

 his customer the same flowers day after 

 day because the customer does not 

 know anything else to ask for. He 

 said the customer is always wanting 

 something new and will buy anything 

 the salesman suggests, if properly pre- 

 sented with a good arrangement of the 

 flowers. He was complimentary about 

 the Dutch and Italians, declaring they 

 have much better taste in combining 

 colors than we have and that there is 

 nothing handsomer than the Dutch 

 mixture, so often ridiculed. These 

 thoughts were all in connection with 

 made-up work. His combinations, in 

 many instances, were striking and, 

 while he used some that would sound 

 strange, he always had harmony in his 

 colors, which is the whole story after 

 all. His demonstrations were received 

 with applause. 



The next meeting will be held May 6, 

 at the Carnegie museum, where Profes- 

 sor Jennings will take the members 

 through the line of economics.
