Miss Mary A. Drake, who is head of the committee for the flower show, called a meeting of members of the library committee last eve ming to discuss preliminary pro grams for this evening, and the date for the flower show was set as We'd nesday, August 20, from ? to 10 p. m.
 It was decided to have the differ ent rooms in the George D. Mastin house on East Main street set aside for various displays of flowers. The PIainville Garden club, under the d. rection Of Mrs. Pond and Mrs. Nash, will have charge of one room. An other room will be set aside for gladioli and another for dahlias. There will be window boxes in oth- CT rooms.
 One room will be set aside for an arrangement for effect. which will consist of an artistic display of as sorted flowers. Center pieces will be | exhibited on various tables upstairs. In the conservatory, house plants and hanging baskets will be displayed.
 The lighting and decoration of the 1 house and lawn will be in charge of F. L. Benzon. There will be A sale of flowers, and refreshments will be served during part of the time. It is planned to have music during the afternoon and evening. The sugges- tion was made at the meeting that the Halstead brothers and the liar mony Boys be asked to furnish the music.
 Various committees will be ap- pointed to carry out the details. The exhibit promises to be the most comprehensive ever held in Plain vile. The committee in charge hope and expect that every garden in town will be represented by some sort of a display. It may be that prizes will be given, but no decision has been reached to this effect as yet.
 The committees have chosen the slogan "Plainville Says It" (with flowers. People-of the town are asked to remember that this is not to be an exhibit of the products of experts alone but that each and every gardener in Plainville is invited to send his display, large or small. Peo- pie should plan for the show at the present time so that the rooms of the house will be filled with the | Jsr ;ot, of e we'll as a large numbers of exhibits
 Despite the rainy weather encoun- tered during the festival held on July 1, practically $500 was realized for the library fund, and this splen- did showing has given great encour- agement to the committees in charge of the flower show. The fund is how ering around the s4o,0Oo mark and the show in August should boost the fund up to high mark. The show will prove interesting and entertain ing as we'll as educational.
 After the meeting quilt was awarded to W. B. Vincent, president of the Plainville Chamber of Con- merce.
