Telephone 490 A community like Highland Park {what a fine name for a suburb!) may easily forge ahead by voting find: for parks, playgrounds. the preserv- ation and foresting of the Skokie, and the creation of forest preserves. .The citizens themselves can, and do, great- ly assist in beatuifying the entire area by producing fine gardens of their own. The American .MaSMr Landscape Artist, the late Frederick Law Olm- stead, has done the same in this country. His beautiful public parks and civic works of various kinds will stand monumenthl in his memory, more lasting than marble. In laying out our gardens, how» over, it is as necessary that we em. ploy a trained architect for this an tistic work, as that we build out dwelling under the direction of a man acquainted with the laws of line and form, and all the component know- ledge which makes for ultimate sym- metry and beauty. i We have here in Highland Park a great many lovely gardens. created by very fine artists in their line. Such gardens are a source of pleasure and recreation to their owners and all who come in contact with them. But the possibilities of the small garden are often overlooked, and for that reason, deserve a special pleading. In erecting the small garden it is neces- sary to draw up a plan on paper, and thus develop it year by year, always following the lines indicated by the designer. When Baron Eugene Haussmanni rebuilt Paris under the Second Emâ€"i pire, he projected and executed a sys- 1 tern of public works which transform- ed Paris into a new city. True. he did this at a cost of over five billion francs, but his work included the im- provement of the Boio du Bologne, the lengthening of the Rue de Rivoli, the construction of the Boulevard de Se- bastopol, expanding and developing more than twenty boulevards in the old parts of the city, improving var- ious public gardens, squares, barrack , new prefecture of police, more than twelve bridges, numerous hospital; and aaylums. The good landscape architect will always be bold in his Skylines, en~ trances, and color schemes, assumo ing always that his taste is careful and discriminating. A garden club is one of the finest things a toivn can have, as it stimu- lates intelligent planting and care of growing flowers. Prizes should al- ways be given for the best garden because it spurs the members into a wholesome and friendly competition. Rose and flower carnivals. horticul- tural shows, and the like tend to give a town an added aesthetic value, a value which never fails to attract prospective builders of desirability. And what is finer than to bring up one’s children in an environment of flowers, and birds, and trees! One may travel far and wide befbre he finds a town so happily situated, so blessed by nature, as Highland Park. It has the Luke, the ravines, the Skokie valley, the oak forests, and all the al- luring topography left by the glscier period. It is clayey soil, if properly handled, will produce the finest trees and shrubs, its perennials will exhibit the intensest colors. With such a background it is not too ambitions for me to hope that I shall see the day when fiighland Park will be classed as the most artistic little city in the United States.- , Another landscape urchibect of note has chosen Highlsnd Park 15 the favored spot, and mode this city his home. Mr. 0. C. Doei-rier writes the following illumimting article on land~ scape gardening for The Press: Ever since the w" the people have turned their minds to the fine arts, and at no other time. has there been so much civic improvement, garden- making, and planting, as there is to- day. For us in‘the United Sutee there should be only one garden style, and that style is the 'American. The French, Italian, and Japanese gar- dens are all very well, and often beau- tiful, but, for sheer and absolute bent:- ty, give me the American flower gar- den! By 0. C. DO'ERRIER LANDSCAPE , ARCHITECT Civic Improvement Dix Allies Give Shower. The members of the Dix Amies club gave a miscellaneous shower for one of their members, Miss Grace Blackstead, at the Association rooms one Tuesday evening, Dec. 9. Rainbow Club Completes Sewing The members of the Rainbow club have made a complete outfit for a ismall Assyrian girl at the Deerfield orphanage. It included seven] dress- 3es, a sweater and cap, a large num- ber of under garments, a warm bathâ€" robe and a knitted blanket. They have dressed a doll for her, and are pre- paring other Christmas gifts. Vesper Service Vespers will be held agsin next Sunday at 5 p. m., and an interesting meeting is being planned. The Christ- mas Spirit is the subject for the next meeting. Mrs. George Greene led the meeting last Sunday, and eighteen girls heard her very beautiful presen- tatibn of “The Shepherd’s Palm." The girls also enjoyed the service of song, and the socinl hour which fol- lowed the beautifully told story. Friendship Party All members of the Friendship club who are giving Christina gifts to poor children met at the Association rooms Wednesday evening, Dec. 10. and spent a social evening together. The girls planned their gifts for the children. They joined in playing games and dsncing and refreshments were served.

Almost the entire membership wt: present, and a greet deal of enthusiasm was manifest. The girls will hold their annual Christ» mas party on the evening of Decem- ber 22. The girls met at the rooms for their bi-weekly meeting Tuesday evening. Girl Scouts and Girl Reserve: The volunteer lenders and other young women who are interested in becoming lenders met Min Edm Beardsley, Nutional Girla’ Work Sec- retary, on Wednesdny afternoon, Deâ€" cember 3. Several hours of discussion resulted in a number of splendid plans for carrying on the work among the teen age of the community. The Girl Scout orgsniution, the Girl Reserves, and the organized Sun- day school classes were represented, and plsns ware formed for s closer cooperation between these three forms of work, which have the suns sims snd purposes. The Girl Scout slogan. “For s Better Womnhood," typifies the spirit of All these orgsnizsflons.
