The committee works with Mrs. Chasé ,Smith, who is chairman of FL'SS:erldbn Volunâ€" teers in Highland Park. : The local club spends one day a month making sometimes as many as 100 small bouquets for bedside tables as well as larger arrangeâ€" ments. Other clubs are responsiâ€" ble for library and chapels. Nor is Christmas time an isolatâ€" ed instance of the Ravinia Garden Club‘s work at Fort Sheridan. With other garden clubs they see that flowers appear every week in the chapels, hospital wards and recreâ€" ation centers of the fort. f _ But the actual upâ€"andâ€"downâ€"theâ€" ladder work of decorating the tree is done by the Ravinia Garden club. Evergreen boughs will mask the bareness of the wood rafters of the big room, and big Idaho potatoes stuck so full of evergreen twigs that they appear to be fluffy balls of evergreen, will hang from the rafters. In the cafcteria the table decorations will be red begonias planned to bloom at holiday time «&nd contributed by a florist of the Ravinia Garden club.. The tree itself, like those in the hospital wards and the other recreâ€" ation rooms at the fort, is furnâ€" ished each year by theoWinnetka Garden club. s Behind the scenes, however, will be the hard work and the plmnn‘l of the Ravinia Garden club, workâ€" ing as a unit of the Fort Sheridan Volunteers. .
