Poet's Narcissus; two slender side vases of Narcissus under which two 
beautiful white doves are standing. (Note — Mrs. Lockwood's white doves 
walking among her white Narcissus gave her the inspiration for this 
"Spring song.") 
Mrs. Eobert Mallory, Jr., Chairman. Color scheme, yellow, lavender, 
cream and blue; yellow linen oblong runner and doilies; Nankeen china, 
willow-pattern ; tureen-shaped compotes of • the same ; large tureen-shaped 
central bowl of mixed flowers — Daffodils, lavender Sweet-peas, Spanish 
Iris, Freesia, Primroses and Violets. A lovable combination of mixed 
flowers and old Nankeen, but the cloth was not a good size for the table. 
Mrs. F. Moffat, Chairman. Color scheme, cream, orange and yellow; 
crossed runners of very open-mesh coarse filet ; plates, compotes and cen- 
tral platter of modern cream Italian pottery in fine old design (loaned 
by "Au Quatrieme, " Wanamakers) ; splendid irregular arrangement of 
nine orange Tulips, eight salmon Gcrberas, cream Ranunculus, Poet's 
Narcissus and pale yelloAV Narcissus. This we thought surely a prize 
winner, but again the Judges justly said there was much too much on so 
small a table. 
Mrs. J. S. Morgan, Chairman. Color scheme, mixed. A Delia Eobbia 
wreath. Delightful coarse Italian square cover with twelve tassels; Italian 
pottery plates, fruit design; large Italian brazier in center. A large 
wreath, three feet in diameter, was formed of laurel leaves laid flat on the 
table to simulate a Majolica wreath of the 15th century and studded at 
carefully spaced intervals with Pears, Lemons, Grapes, Crab-apples and 
Kumquats, and six Corn-flowers and six Poet's Narcissus. Beautifully 
carried out. 
Miss Wetmore, President. Color scheme, browns, yellows and blue; 
blue and white Italian linen runner; cream and black Wedgewood plates; 
antique brass epergne in center containing fruit and nuts and on each of 
the four candle sockets was placed a Pine-cone; four dainty French figures 
carved in dark oak; four small white glass side vases holding one bi-color 
Narcissus. Rather full for so small a table. 
It seemed strange that all but two of the prize winners, Philadelphia 
and Southampton, were high arrangements when you hear so much of the 
necessity of being able to talk across a table. 
Miniature Gardens 
Model by Mrs. Frances G. Lloyd. 
Scale of one-eighth of an inch to a foot. 
Tray, 3 feet square. 
Design, informal. Semi-wild garden. 
A charming little English Cottage, made of wax, set on an informal 
terrace. Flower garden to the side of the house. Fruit orchard to the 
northwest. Growing sod used. Mimosa blooms to simulate Daffodils in the 
grass. Trees and shrubbery made of clippings of Yew and Evergreens. 
Coloring very lovely. This model had no road or way of access to the 
house except a small stepping stone path which made it a poetic fancy 
rather than a practical garden. 
Model by Mrs. Henry Chappell. 
Scale, one-eighth of an inch to a foot. 
Tray, 2 feet by 18 inches. 
Design, most ingenious home garden. 
A level lawn-garden in rectangular form with two corners represent- 
ing mounts, another with cold-frames and work bench, and the other a 
ULUB small orchard. Whole scheme connected by a gravel path. Delightful 
porcelain swimming pool in center. Whole garden surrounded by a high 
white lattice on which roses and various vines are trained. Original mater- 
ials used. Ratine cloth cleverly used to simulate grass in which infinitesmal 
Crocuses were planted. Cedar trees made of Lufa sponge, stamens and
