MONEY IN FLOWERS.

Pittsburg One Of the Few Towns That
Supported Chrysanthemum Show
Innumerable Functions Still Occupying
| Mention.
Pittsburg has gained distinction as being
| one OF rhe few cities where a chrysanthe-
/ mum show has been successful financially.
The recent one, under the direction OF the
'tFlorists and Gardeners Club of Pittsburg
and Allegheny" patronized with snch en-
couraging favor in the Auditorium last
month, has netted its projectors thesum of
$780, at the same time leaving untouched a
reserve fund of O., 800; a result they had
hardly dared to wish for, let alone hope for.
Being the first ever held here, this is all
the more pleasurable and, considering the
extreme youth of the organization, the more
remarkable. The CLUB deserves every en-
couragement when it makes another at
tempt, as it is hoped it will do another
season. Whatever heartburnings there were
and heartburnings usually follow competi-
tive exhibitions-were wisely kept for pri-
vate view only. and, therefore, Pittsburg
has nothing but agreeable recOllectiOnS OF
the flower show.
The organization already named, which
has obtained for itself so unique place, has
the following gentlemen as officers: Mr. E.
Q. Reineman, President: Mr.. P. 8. Randolph,
Vice President; Mr.. Frederick BurlSi, Treas
urer; Mr.. George Esterlee, Secretary.

Miss Stella Hays, who is rapidly gaining
distinction as one of the most delightful of
the younger hostesses, made an exceedingly
felicitious choice of flowers for the dinner
she gave on Tuesday for Miss Julia Watson.
The table was decorated solely with green
orchids, which were also used for the
boutonnieres and corsage punches. The
orchid has tint not unlike a bronze green,
and tine ribbon used matched the flowers
