She is also planning one in Indianapolis. In Winnetka the women who are most interested, and are anxious to interest others, are Mrs. C. C. Daugh- aday, Mrs. Hathaway Watson, 900 Sunset road, and Mrs. Alfred E. Mc- Cordic, 559 Oak street. Mrs. Daugha- day has further announced that the booth will be open every day during the flower and vegetable season, and urges that everyone in Winnetka who has a garden will share it with others. Started by Needleworkers Those of us who are ignorant of the work of the National Plant, Fruit and Flower guild learn that it was organ- ized by Mrs. John Wood Stewart, in- ternationally known and decorated by the French government during the war. Mrs. Stewart is famous for hav- ing founded the Needlework guild of America. When the World war began Mrs. Stewart was in Lyons, France, and it was due to her efforts that the war workrooms and soup kitchens were started. She sent to America for cloth, money and financial aid. Re- turning to America, she turned over her home as a place for canning and preserving jellies and jams, sending over 20,000 glasses of jelly to the boys. She supervised the sewing of clothing and adopted many French war or- phans. And this is the Mrs. Stewart who founded the National Plant Flower and Fruit guild. Chicago suburbs can be a source of real joy to many crippled and sick, and many unable to see a tree or smell a flower. We on the north shore are apt to be spoiled, for flowers are everywhere and trees are common. To quote from a pamphlet issued by the organization, the purpose is to collect the surplus of the gardens, flowers, fruits and vegetables, which is often allowed to go to waste, and to distribute it to the sick, aged and crippled in their homes or in institu- tions and to provide a clearing house service for those who have something to give and those in need.
