 The March meeting of the Wom | ems Civic Club was held at the home of Mrs. H. R. Coulter last Saturday.. Mrs. SharnbrOich was hostess with ] Mrs. Coulter and Mrs. R. w Mizc assisting with arrangements.
 At the business meeting which fol- lowed the luncheon, reports were made on Alaska Federation ques- ] tionnaires which had been filled out; progress on the Federation Year Book which will be issued later than 1 first planned because of unavoid- able delays; club report sent for the Juneau Club Special Edition of the Alaska Press, and the plans for theI 24th birthday celebration which theI club will hold May at the school. Six dollars in fines were receiYedI from the librarian.
 The club voted to sponsor the 1 cooking demonstrations which will be given here early in April by Mrs. Y. Crone of Juneau who is at present conducting meetings in Ketchikan. Through Miss Esther Morris of the Territorial Vocational department who visited Wrangall recently, arrangements were made with the Town Council to have Mrs Crone come here after her Katchi- kan engagement, and the club was asked to assist in making the att tendance worth while. It was an- nouneed that Mrs. Crone is racom- mended for her ability and efficien- cy and has given demonstrations that have created widespread in terest, in most of the cities of south-I eastern Alaska. The dates of her Wrangell engagement will be an, nounced as soon as word is receiVedI from Ketchikan.
 The club through its school com mittee, Mrs. Anderson, Mrs. Biorge and Mrs. George Green, will sponsor a school Glee Club musicale. Miss i Harding directing, which will he given during Music Week, May 3-9, and a reception for the high school 1 graduates later in the month. Re- cause of the absence from town of Mrs. Me Dade and Miss Irene Coul- ter who were getting information about tennis court costs, this matter was left to the school committee with instructions to report It an early date.
 A note of merry appreciation was struck during the afternoon when a poem inspired by the late strike. and written by a Sitka girl, Miss Myrtle Hollywood, was read by Mrs. Miller.
 Flowers suitable for Wrangell gardens were discussed following | the business session and several new Yarities were mentioned in addition to those that are fayorites year af- ter year. The Tigridia, native of Mexico, Central and South America. was reported as having done very Well here last year in the Camp Dell gardens, and it was stated that 1t will be planted extensively this year. The Tigridia Is flaming three-petaled flower which blooms In profusion all through the season, each bloom lasting but a day. Other names for this flower are the tiger flower or the Mexican flame flower It is as easy to grow as gladioli and the tubers may be planted as soon as the frost is out of the ground the sunniest part of the garden. f The soil should be rich and have :, good drainage. Another flower of interest was the Dimorphoteca or African daisy which made an at
 tractive showing in the Chisholm garden last summer and is excellent for bouquets. It has been recommen- y ded for a border flower, especially ]! when combined with the Viscariq
 or Rose of Heaven, The most effee- tive color combination for these l flowers is said to be the orange Di, . morphoteca and the blue Yiscaria : the latter 10 he placed In front as it is of shorter growth. Both. flow.
 CTS come in other colors also. and !, bloom generously. Clarkia, snap. . dragons, the new corn-of-gold mari.
 goldsd violas, petunias and many others were mentioned as favorites " and judging by the interest shown Wrangell will have some lovely gar.
 dens this year.
