out the outstanding features of
the kitchen from a timesaving and

around the yard and enjoyed
looking at the profusely blooming
flower beds. Mrs. Davis has most
successfully combined verbena in
shades of pink with petunias and
larkspur which are at the height
of their bloom. There are also
azaleas and roses planted in the
beds which make for seasonal
bloom.
After this stop the party began

end of the long, low house. After
the guests had wandered around
the carefully tended lawn some
of the interested ones went to
inspect the dairy house which Is

The next stop on the tour was
the estate Of Mr.. and Mrs. James
Leavell, located az Point Aux

studded with magnificent oaks
and pine and huge beds of yellow
day lilies in full bloom gave vivid
accents Of color.
Mrs. Leavell received her
guests who enjoyed wandering
through the home, stopping to
admire the lovely vistas afforded
from the pstios. Mrs. Leavell
served punch in the charming
glass ceilinged room.

located on a bluff overlooking
Fort Bayou. T. f. Gilley, man

the party on a tour beginning
with the hot house. where the
camellia cuttings are rooted, then
as the tour progressed to the beds
of rooted plants and the lathe
house where the young plants are
kept, Mr.. Gllley explained the
propagation of camellias and 9TH
er plants. Huge beds OF young
azaleas were also a point Of in

each member was presented a
young gardenia bush with the
compliments of Mr. Moreton.
A picnic lunch was enjoyed I'M

home of Mr.. and Mrs. George
Cole at Fort Bayou. A photogra-
pher met the party here and after
posing for pictures the group
strolled around the yard and adj

ton Of geraniums in full bloom.
Mrs. Cole also conducted the
group through her home which
has recently been remodeled.
The next stop was the home in
Fort Bayou OF Mr.. and Mrs.
Keble Delaney where everyone
was interested in the landscsping
of the grounds. Last October, r.
o. Monosmith. landscape artist

interest was the mulch of tuns

the plan which Mr.. Monosmith
had designed on the table in the
kitchen where the homemakers
could compare what had been ac-
complished with the finished plan.
While those who were interested
in l~andscaplng problems poured
over the design. others admired
the charming kitchen curtains
with a pattern of drawn work

and dyed a clear yellow.
